POOR MAN'S GUARDIAN SOCIETY. it gives us great pleasure to find that the Poor Man's Guardian Society is making rapid progress in public favour. We believe we were among the first to bestow a word of en couragement on those benevolent gentlemen who originated the idea of establishing such a society. We did not for a moment doubt the ultimate success of their philanthropic efforts, but we must own that we did not anticipate the rapid progress which they have already made. But in their case, we are only furnished with one more proof, in adeition to the Multitude with which history abounds, of what energy and perseverance, under the guidance of intelligent minds, are Capable of achieving. Among the various benevolent institutions which are the glory of this metropolis, we know of none which has stronger claims on the support of the friends of humanity than the Poor Man's Guardian Society. Its great object is to rescue the poor from the fangs of the oppressor, and to protect them from the insults of insolent officials, to whom their neces sities compel them to apply for relief. Hard, indeed, is the fate of the poor; and as if their destiny were not hard enough Of itself, it must needs be aggravated by gratuitous outrages on their feelings. They are treated as if they were criminals. There is no disguising the fact, that proverty is regarded by many as a great enormity. The fashionable felon, or well dressed seducer of his neighbour's wife, is treated with con sideration and indulgence, compared with the man whose • misfortune is to be dependent on the charity of others. The latter is often treated as if the ordinary susceptibilities of human nature were inconipatible with povel ty. Even the very brute creation frequently receive more consideration and kind nes., than many persons made in the image of their Maker, but who have the misfortune - to be sunk in the depths of Poverty. The natural tendency of the insults and oppression to which the poor are so often subject, is to irritate their minds and lessen t!:eir self-respect. Hence, they become lost to society and to themselves; whereas, were they treated more respectfully and kindly, they would be encouraged to make efforts for emerging from their poverty, and raising them selves in the social scale. It is the high and holy object of the Poor Man's Guardian Society to foster feelings like these. The benevolent individuals who have set it on foot, are re solved, as far as in them lies, to protect the poor from needless oppression, and to shield them from the graituitous insolence of proud and heartless officials. And m both respects the Society has already accomplished a great amount of good. The society will operate most beneficially in an indirect man ner. The very existence of such a Society will be felt by many as a perpetual rebuke, and will lead them to regard the poor within their immediate sphere, with, at least, tt.e sem blance of respect. The Poor Man's Guardian Society has already been productive of no inconsiderable good. Mr. Cochrane, a gen tleman of fervent philanthropy, and untiring perseverance in a righteous cause—a gentleman, moreover, to whom this Society we believe, mainly owes its existence—Mr. Cochrane stated on Wednesday evening at the meeting in Theobaln read, that the first effort of the Society had been to reform the dietary tables in blarylebone workhouse. In nearly all of our metropolitan workhouses, the wretched inmates, in Addition to the coarseness of their fare, are constantly ex .B 43 ei to the heartless insults of the officials in these places. ( entirely concur with Mr. Wakley, when he says, that the feelings of unkindness, and the hardheartedness of the officials in workhouses, ate a disgrace to a Christian and Civilised country. We repeat that we know of no more excellent institu tion than the Poor Man's Guardian S• , ciety. Its objects are defined as well as benevolent —intelligible as well as philan thropic. It goes direct to its great object. Its funds will not b e diverted from their legitimate purpose. They will be brought to bear alone in favour of the poor. We trust, that before many month have elapsed, we shall see similar so zeties in every parish where they are needed, not only in the metropolre, but. throughout the country.—Morning Ad yer6ser, THE KING OF THE FRENCH. At a meeting of the Town Council of Edinburgh, on Tues day, the Lord Provost said that he had in his possession one of the most important documents it was ever his lot to sub mit to the Town Council, namely, a letter from Louis Phil ilippe, in reply to the sympathetic communication lately sent written with his own hand, and in English evidently of his own cemposition. It was as follows : " Neuilly, May 16, 1846. "My Lord Provost—l have to request your Lordship to express to the magistrates and Town Council of the city of Edinburgh the sincere gratification with which I have re ceived the address which they have voted me on the occa sion of the late attempt upon my life. It is most satisfac tory for me that my unceasing efforts to promote the good nnci.erstanding and friendly intercourse between France and Great Britain are so highly appreciated by the distinguished Corporation over which you preside. I hail With delight the increasing popularity of that pacific Policy which, laying in oblivion the old feuds and animosi ihes of nationg, begets among them a general feeling of mu tual benevolence, and ultimately that firm conviction, which every year there has elapsed before us, has strengthened in nay _mind that peace is, for all, the best policy, and the surest Way t,o increase the prosperity of nations and the welfare of blankin,l. The Queen has been also much affected by the annpathi . ,'s you have manifested for the heartbreaking anxieties 31,e has gone through during the too often renewed occurrences y, here it has pleased God to cover us with his divine protectioo. It is with the gracious concurrence of Lay august friend and ally, your beloved Sovereign, that I request your Lordsi:ip to express to the Magistrates and Town-Council of the City of Edinburgh, the deep sense I entertain of this distinguu'hed testimony of their sympathy and regard.

At ten minutes past 10 the Court, „seeded by the Chancellor, entered the hall, and the prisoner ecomte, ext:ered it also, in the custody of four 1 4 gendar mes .

The Pro and company with cureur-General, H e beri, and Avocat-General Bresson, soon otter took their seats. M.

Chan- The eers were called over, and abou t 200 answered. The cellor desired the prisoner to rise, and asked his names, Lecomte replied that he was forte eight years old, formerly - a general keeper of the Fontainbleao, forest, &c., born at Beaumont- sur-Vingeanne, department of the Cote d'Or, and not a married man. The Ch ancellor urged ibis counsel to keep within the " limites de la defense," and desired t h e prisoner to listen to the "acts d ' accusasion," I!hich the Griffier " immediately a fter read. The list of . witnesses summoned were also read by the said "Griller." the prisoner would not consent to Count De Aiontalivet wi thdrawing, notwithstanding his indisposition. On questions b eing put to him, Lecomte replied that he left Paris on the evening of the 15th of April; that he could not deny having .r .:7, 11 guilty of firing at the Bing. He left Paris with a gun, 3" 1 . concealed it under a rock. He had communicated his :Tip to nobody, and taken good care not to put anybody Fontainbleau in his confidence. He then explained . I L l e w he h a d s t a ti one d himself near the wall to commit 1 ! crime. What had saved the King's life was, that, 'afraid to kill other persons, he had fired too much to the Ir;itated at all the injustice he had been subjected to, determined on being revenged, though he had not zu . i . ; decided in what way it should be. His resentment b ad reaa h Ing, he had at length made up his mind, and if he I_, bee n watched, he would have been deemed mad. He had Odopted no precaution for his escape. Despite his St statement, and the Chancellor's remark that be had ght• %hie carbine some time before the attempt, he per sisted in maintaining that be had not long premeditated the attempt. Lecomte complained that his remonstrances had been unattended to, although he had sought every means of making them roach tho King in person. He entered into a narrative -of all the injustice he had suffered, and declared that it had -been the sole motive of his deed. To prove that had not been long deterned on it he ured that before - Ie left 'Paris, he informed his mi landlord, , after paving him with Ids wonted punctuality, that he should perhaps return next day. As for the will he had made, it might bg construed 11; an y wa y they pleas,,..-1. He had sold his clothes to live, would have drowned him and rather than !_leg of anybody self. Count de Maotalivet (the Intendant of the Civil List, who was sitting by tilt! side of the King when the attempt Was mad e ) then detailed the circumstances already pub ,iished, M. de Montalivet also entered into details as to the - PPart of the' Civil List with its employes, and the unfivour able character borne by Lecom te when he was employed . Lecomte warmly observed as to his riyht to a retired pension Including or nine other witnesses were succssively questioned, ing the King's groom •Millet. Lieut.

FRENCH PLAYS-NT- JAMES'S THEATRE. _ Mademoiselle Dejazet, the espiegle Dejazet, the fasci nating Dejazet, the pet alike of Paris and of London, made her debut for the season here last evening in her two favourite characters of Vert-Vert. in the audeville of that name (of which the English play, The Pet of the Petticoats is almost a literal translation), and Catherine Biancoli in La File de Dominique. Never did she look, or act, or ' sing better. Her Vert Vert was the Prince of Pickles, and her costume became her exceedingly. The powdered wig, and square-cut coat, and flapped and embroidered waistcoat and tight smalls seemed , really a picturesque costume when set off by 'the graces of Dejazet. In La Filk de Dominique she assumes a variety of characters. The daughter of a deceased actor ; she is desirous of obtaining an engage ment among the servants of his Majesty Louis XIV., but Baron, the manager, refuses to see her, and puts her off by a variety of civil excuses. She then according to the old plan, assumes a variety of disguises, and fasci nates him as Margot, a country girl—half pleases and ball terrifies him as a fine lady of quality, who has gone mad from love of him, and quite terrifies him as a young soldier, the lover of Margot, who demands satis faction for his abduction of the rustic beauty. Having sufficiently teased him, a discovery takes place, and she who, as Catherine Biancoli, had been rejected unseen and unheard by the troupe, is, as Madame Baron, re ceived with acclamation as the acknowledged prima donna. Her provincialisms, as Margot, and her strut and swagger, as the young soldier, kept the house in a rear. She was called for at the fall of the curtain, and enthu siastically applauded by a house crowded to the ceiling. THE FORD ABBEY ESTATE (PARTICULARS . AND DRAWINGS JUST ISSUED). It is difficult to describe the immense sensation pro duced by the publication of these voluminous papers. Toe description of the estate, with its beauteous park and ornamental waters, which from time immemorial has been accounted the great and proud feature of the county—the demesne of 11,000/. a year—the sporting, with the seductive auxiliaries of fishing and hunting— all this - (and the great leviathan of the west claims much more than it has credit for in this brief outline) would indeed be enough to awaken the latant spark of curiosity, but the historical account arouses extra ordinary sensation, and furnishes an interesting and perfect reminiscence of the MAGNIFICENTLY FINE ABBEY. The lady's name who has contributed, by means of her brain farm, to improve and render more perfect the his torical representation of the far-famed Abbey, is kept profoundly secret—her diffidence has placed a barrier that even Robins cannot overcome. It has been found expedient, in order to keep curiosity within bounds, to make a small charge for the drawipgs and plans. The subject of the Abbey is one of never-tiring praise; but we find we are verging from our original destination, which was only to point out a few of the great features connected with the history that is to follow—to the latter we now commend the work ; it will bear to be read over and over again, and we shall be glad to find that amongst the host ho are now busily engaged in this interesting task to number the one who is to be Fortune's favourite at the auction—(we learn it is to be a peremptory sale). Mr. Robins has judiciously selected a little spice from Lord Byron—he could not pass the talented Lord's glowing description of Norman Abbey without giving gentle praise to the author:— " An old, old monastery once, and now still older mansion, of a rich and rare Mis'tl gothic, such as artists all allow __ Few specimens yet left us can compare." The river Axe, so renowned by the disciples of Isaac Waken for its pLeatory pleasures and delicious trout, winds in serpentine beauty through the fair demesne— ' Lost for a space through thickets veering, • But broader when again appearing." It was here that— " The branching stag swept down with all his herd, To quaff a brook which murmured like a bird." It may be asked— " What more can mortals now desire?" The reply is concise. Read the condensed history that is just published. The magnificent tapestry that adorns the state rooms alone would amply compensate for a journey of double the distance ; its value must be immense. Jeremy Bentham resided at the Abbey three years of his life. Some of his cleverest works issued thence. FUNDS OF THE COURT OF CHANCERY.---A return has just been issued, by order of the House of Commons, show ing the state of the several funds standing in the name of the Accountant-General of the Court of Chancery, for the year ending the Ist of October, 1845. It thence appears, that the amount to the Suitors' Fund was 111,45a1. I:1s, sd. in cash, and 3,424,8111. sa. 9d. in stock. The payments therefrom (expenses of the Chancellor's and Vice-Chancel lors' Courts) amounted to 99,524/. ls. 4d, The Suitors' Fee Fund account shows a total of fees received (in the year ending the 24th of November last) of 134,874/. 17s. id,; while the charges in salaries, compensations, &c., were 139,439/. Os. 2d.; being an excess above the fees of 4,564/ 3s. id. EXTRAORDINARY CONFLICT BETWEEN A MAN AND A BULL.—A correspondent has transmitted us a humourous account of a combat, long and terrible, between a man and a bull, at Panteison, Pembrokeshire. It appears that on Wednesday a bull of the pure Ayrshire breed, which had been confined for six months, in consequence of his dangerous freaks, was turned out for an airing after his long seclusion, when he, it seems, determined to make amends for the immunities the neighbourhood had enjoyed during his confinement, by immediately, on obtaining his freedom, attacking Ben, the farm bailiff, an ifirm old man. He called lustily for assistance, when the coachmen, the hero of the fight, made his appearance, and forthwith pro ceeded to mortal combat with the terror of the neighbour hood. The battle raged long and violently, and with alter nate success, poor coaches being at one time made to kiss his " mother earth," while in another round he mao.e his Ayrshire antagonist roar so loudly that even the farm-buildings seemed to quake with fear. But coachee was not to be frightened with noise. wren terrific rounds were fought, and the quadruped was obliged to succumb to this lord of the creation. In the fifth round the coachman appeared as if he was going to have the worst of it, having been knocked over a wall, and Into a pond four feet deep, He was how ever, nothing daunted at this mishap; but, on the contrary, the immersion seemed to revive him, and infuse fresh spirit into his soul, as in the next round be had a slight ad vantage ; but eventually the two combatants fell, and were locked in each others arms. It was now evident the Scot had enough of it, and the termination of the desperate affray is thus given by our correspondent t—Seventh rounr:— Wallace, the bull, up first, took to his heels and ran, leaving Morris, the coachman, in the pond, gasping for breath, the poor old bailiff and his men peeping through the hedges in all directions, anxious to ascertain the course Mr. Wallace was determined to steer. Away he went, in steeple-chase style, clearing every bank, Morris closely following: When about three-quarters of a mile from some, Wallace fell. Morris by this time well up to Wallace's heels, and laying hold of a fine ring which he had the honour of wearing in his nose, led him back as gentle as a lamb, and placed him in irons in a condemned cell, there to be imprisoned during the old bailiff's pleasure. Too much praise cannot be given to a,"orrfor his timely assistance to poor old Ben, the bailiff; to say that M orris escaped unhurt, i ' 1 except a slight britist; and we :;:e happy on one of legs...-Clarmarthen Journal.

BERLIN, AUT . 30.—Sir Moses Montefiore and his Lady, accompanied by Dr. Lower, arrived hero the evening before yesterdakr their return from Russia, MUM) ;9 $91 7 0 POMO ARRIVAL OF IBRAHIM PACII.A. PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY,'SIX P.M.—This place has been in a continued state of excitement during the last forty-eight hours, owing to the anticipated arrival of his Highness the Prince of Egypt, who was expected to land here at an early hour yesterday morning, en route for the metropolis. In consequence of information received by the naval and military authorities here from the loreign-office the neces sary preparations for the reception of the Pacha, in a man ner becoming his distinguished position and character, were arranged on Wednesday evening, and so early as seven o'clock, yesterday morning,the troops were ordered to be under arms, and the several batteries to be manned. The Mayor and Town Council, anxious not to be wanting in their hospitality, also met at the Town Hall, and voted an address of congratulation to his Highness, which it was ar ranged should be presented to the Prince at the first con venient moment after his arrival. The naval and military authorities, as well as the " civilians," remained throughout the whole of yesterday in anxious expectation of his Highness's arrival, but they were doomed to be disap pointed ; and it was not until this morning at seven o'clock, that the heavy booming of the guns on board the Canopus ship-of-war, moored at Spithead, proclaimed the fact that the King of the French's royal yacht (the Gomer), having on board his highness and suite, had hove in sight. Mr. Brown, the second master attendant at the Dockyard, had been out in the Echo steam-tug during the whole of yesterday awaiting the arrival of the Prince, but as theformer did not reach Spithead as was expected, great uncertainty was felt as to when she might arrive, and the Echo returned into harbcur. When the French yacht made Spithead this morning, therefore, there was no pilot in attendance, and she had to cast anchor in the roadstead until one could be sent out to her. Very little time was thus lost, however, and before eight o'clock she was steadily steaming up the har• boor, under a salute from the Victory, the Excellent, and the Platform Battery, the yards of the former ships being manned and the Egyptian flag hoisted at the fore. - Immediately after the Gomer had taken up her moorings, the Commander-in-Chief, Sir Charles Ogle, attended by Cap tains Pasco and Chad, Mr. Haig, the Secretary, and Flag- Lieutenant Morris, and accompanied by Sir Hercules Paken ham, the Military Commandant of the district, attended by Colonel Daly and Captain Pakenham, put off in the Admiral's barge for the purpose of proceeding on board to pay their re spects to the illustrious stranger. On boarding the yacht, the party were conducted to the state saloon, where they were very graciously received by the Pacha, who expressed through his interpreter the gra tification he experienced in the marks of attention shown ' him. The Prince was attired in an Eastern costume, as were the members of his suite respectively. His Highness had a magnificent star on his left breast, and wore besides several other orders. Sir Charles Ogle invited his Highness to the Admiralty House, and the Prince having very graciously accepted the invitation, Sir Charles, accompanied by the other officers, re-embarked in the Admiralty barge and returned to prepare for the reception of his Highness. Major Collingwood Dickson, the officer who, as stated yesterday, had been appointed by the Foreign-office to at tend on the Prince during his sojourn in this country, pro ceeded on board the Gomer immediately after the Admiral left, and was introduced to his Highness. The gallant officer was received in a very flattering manner by the Prince. At half-past eight o'clock his Highness entered the Gomer's barge, and proceeded to the King's Stairs, where he was received by Sir Charles Ogle, Sir Hercules Paken ham, and the whole of the civil, naval, and military officers of the dockyard. A guard of honour, consisting of two companies of the 74th Highlanders, with band and colour, were stationed on the wharf, and as his Highness passed along the platform, the troops saluted in the usual manner, the band playing the national anthem. His Highness, accompanied by the members of his suite, and attended by the whole of the officers above-named, pro ceeded across the dockyard to the Admiral's residence. On entering the court-yard of which, the Admiral's private band, which was stationed therein, struck up the Egyptian national hymn. His Highness appeared much pleased with this mark of respect. After remaining the guest of the Admiral about half an hour, his Highness entered Sir Charles Ogle's private car riage, and, accompanied by his suite iu two other carriages, proceeded to the George Hotel, where apartments had been previously engaged for the accommodation of the party. At half-past ten o'clock, by appointment, the Mayor and Town Council waited on his Highness for the purpose of presenting the address of congratulation above alluded to. The deputation consisted of about thirty persons, among whom we observed James Hoskins, Esq. (Mayor), attended by Mr. John Howard (Town Clerk), and the Rev. J. P. M'Ghee (the Mayor's chaplain), Aldermen Howard, Jones, Thompson, &c. &c. The deputation having been ushered into the presence of his Highness, the Town clerk read the address as follows : "TO HIS HIGILNESS IBItAHIM PACHA. " May it please your Higbness—We the Mayor, Alder men, and Burgesses of the ancient borough of Portsmouth, the dutiful and loyal subjects of our most gracious Sovereign Queen Victoria, embrace the earliest opportunity of tendering 46 your Highness, in the name of our fellow-countrymen and ourselves, our sincere congratulations on the occasion of your Highness's visit to the shores of Great Britain, whilst we feel peculiar gratification that your Highness has done us the honour of landing within the precincts of our ancient municipality. " Participating as we do with all her Majesty's subjects in the esteem so universally felt towards your Highness for the possession and cultivation of those liberal and enlightened views which are alike calculated to elevate individual nations and to benefit 'and bless mankind, we offer a cordial wel come to a brave and distinguished Prince, the son of an illustrious father, who has magnanimously afforded to this country facilities for constant and uninterrupted communi cations with her Indian possessions. " We earnestly hope that peaceful and commercial rela tions between Egypt and Great Britain will long continue to be maintained, and that their mutual advantage, prospe rity, and happiness will thereby- be promoted. " In conclusion, we trust that health and happiness, and the best blessings of Divine Providence, may attend your Highness, that your Highness's visit to the dominions of our beloved Sovereign will afford your Highness gratification and pleasure, and be the means of increasing the kindly feelings which now exist between the two countries. " Given under our common seal this 4th day of June, in the ninth year of her Majesty's reign." Mr. Howard having finished reading the document, it was translated to his Highness by the interpreter. His Highness then, with considerable animation, ad dressed the deputation in his vernacular tongue, and at the close of his observations, the interpreter, for the edification of the deputation, rendered his remarks into the French language. The following was the purport of his Highness's reply to the address:— " The Pacha feels highly gratified that her Majesty has deigned to take notice of him'; and his Highness begs to thank the authorities of Portsmouth for this act of kindness in presenting him with an address. With reference -to ' that portion of it which concerns the commercial intercourse of this country with Egypt, the Pacha begs to assure you that Egypt will always endeavour to facilitate in every way the communication of this country with their Eastern possessions. For this purpose only his father has taken the transit into his own hands. The Pacha will always regard with peculiar interest the prosperity of England, and will pray for the long life and happiness of her Majesty. In conclusion, the Paella wishes to all of you health and prosperity." The deputation having retired from the Prince's presence, his Highness (as we understood very much fatigued) betook himself to his, private apartment, where he has remained during the afternoon. A military guard will be on duty at the hotel during his Highness's sojourn therein. It is expected that the Prince will inspect the fortifications and dockyards to-morrow, and probably honour Sir Charles Ogle with his company at dinner in the evening. London, until Monday next. His Highness is not expected to leave Portsmouth , for ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB. All who know anything of London amusements must have the fact very strongly impressed upon their minds that "the river" does all that in nature or reason could be expected of it to foster the nautical tastes of those who live upon its banks. Above Westminster-bridge we have those boat races, to figure in which is one of the most earnest hopes of so many of our youth, from the time when they were only Eton and Westminster boys till they have expanded into Oxford and Cambridge under-graduates. From Greenwich to Gravesend the Royal Thames Yacht Club have their matches. One of those matches, the second' of the season, took place yesterday, and certainly in this hot weather the sight of so much white canvass filled with wind and hurrying the little desperate, rakish-lookicg ,models of ship-building so madly through the water was quite refreshing. There was no disturbing thought of poor fellows straining at their oars, and gasping under their efforts, to spoil the pleasure of the spectacles, and each one watched the race with a_com posure which cast no reflection on his humanity. The yachts entered for the match were six in number—the Prima Donna, of Colchester, the property of Mr. T. Harvey, who was the builder ; the Inn, of London, Mr. H. Gibson, owner, and Mr. Wallis, Blackwell, builder ; the Secret, of London, Mr. W. Smith, owner, and Messrs. Wanhill and Poole, builders ; the Vixen, of London, Mr. T. Heighing ton, owner and builder; the Fleur de Marie, of Folkestone, Mr. T. Hodges, owner, and Messrs. Miller and R aven hill, Blackwell, builders; and the Belvidere, of London Lord A. Paget, owner, and Messsrs. Ditchburn and Mare, Blackwell, builders. This little experimental squadron was anchored of Greenwich Hospital, waiting for the appointed time of starting, their sails furled, and apparently with no intention of shifting from their moorings. At the sound of the first gun, fired from the Star steamer, which carried Lord A. Paget and the members of the Yacht Club, with their friends, the men in each vessel clustered round the mast. A short interval followed, during which one or two huge collier. and steam tugs came floating down the river, and ob structed the passage, their bluff portly hulks and slovenly appearance contrasting very oddly with the attenuated shape and airy trig appearance of the little cutters. Then came the second signal gun from the Star, and up in an instant flew the canvass, as if each vessel was some strange bird shaking out her wings, and away they all went with a light breeze and an ebb tide towards Blackwell-reach. The Belvidere or the lead, the Secret, Ino, Fleur de Marie, Yixen, and Prima Donna, follewing in the order of their names. Shortly, however, the Secret went ahead, and con tinued to meintain and improve her position during the whole race. The Prima Donna passed the Vixen also, which stood last. In this order the six yachts swept along the Blackwall-reach, Bngsby's-reach, and Woolwich. reach, practising every possible m anoeuvre o f sa il and rudde r t o hug the;wind. In the Galleons the Vixen had recovered her original place, and the Prima Donna had her topsail halliard carried away. The Ino, too, had gone before the Belvidere. After a display of great skill in beating down the narrow channel of the river against a head wind, the Secret rounded the buoy at Coalhouse Point, at 13 minutes past 3 o'clock. Then came the Ino, ten minutes after, followed by the Bel videre, at 25 minutes past 3 o'clock, the Prima Donna, at 28 minutes to 4 o'clock, and the Fleur de Marie seven minutes gotha d aground given up an t d he lost contest, time it In re. understood that s strong, and was before t behind her.

The party on board the Star was all good humour and gaiety, and enjoyment, we will add, bearing in mind, as we do, the due attention paid to the steward's (Mr. G. Gore's), excellent table in the cabin. The other steamer in attendance on the match was also well filled with ladies and gentlemen, who, no doubt, did ample justice to the occasion, and entered with the true zest of fresh-water sailors into the safe pleasures of a fresh-water cruise. There were several yachts not entered for the challenge cup which attended the race, and incrreased the interest, by perplexing the minds of the spectators. There was also a good deal of gun firing along the banks of the river, and we particularly noticed a salute from the residence of Mr. Hughes, a member of the club, near Woolwich. It was done with the regularity of artillery practice. The Marquis of Anglesey was out in his yacht, the Pearl, to see the result of the match. • THE HYDROPATIIIC SYS IMPORTANT CORONER'S INQUEST. Mr. W. Yesterday afternoon an inquest was held bcf a ci s r t e eeap, on Payne, the-City Coroner, at the King's Head, the body of Mr. Richard Dresser, o f N o . 9, in t same street. e • n because The greeted interest was manifested on the occasio died TENT. it had been generally reported that the deceased_ crop l had tablisliment of Dr. Ellis, at Sudbrook Park, near who Dr. Ellis wasipresent, attended by Mr. Hance, solicitor, watched the proceedings on his behalf. owing to improper treatment received at the I 3 d pet e e t r li s i h c a e n s i - . After the jury had been sworn, the the Coroner said that he circumstances immediately necked with the death of the deceased; bu t as it had been re p re sented to him that Mr. Dresser had lately gene ian was entirely ignorant of establishment in the me dical advice, where lie b e en brought home some stispiciotby circumstances had been c h o a u d ut d ry ievd, with nd a that tew sinceof tiie procuring body ha(l di s covered, he thought it advisable that fan inquest should be : held, for which investigation the jury were then as sembled. Thomas Hubert, of the Great Hall, Hungerford 7 market, lighterman, had known deceased for 30 years, who was an accountant, and lived on the opposite side of they. He complained of being ill during the last 12 months, his illness arising, as he thought, from rheumatism or sciatica, causing shooting pains through the whole of his limbs, which at times were quite powerless. On Friday last he saw deceased at his own residence, when he said he was very poorly, and that he was going to place himself under the care of Dr. Ellis, near Richmond. While witness was conversing, Dr. Ellis arrived, when, in the most familiar manner, the doctor said that he should go down with him in his cab that afternoon, and appointed to meet him at half-past three, in Sackville-street. They did not, however, meet, but Mrs. Dresser accompanied her husband to the doctor's esta blishment. Mrs. Eliza Muriel, of 32, Elm-grove, Hammersmith, had known deceased fur three years. He frequently complained of being unwell. About five weeks since he had an attack of jaundice, but was soon cured. On Thurs2ay or Friday last she saw deceased at Easteheap, when he told her that he was in very good health, only that he suffered from severe rheu matic pains. On Sunday last she saw him at Dr. Ellis's es tablishment at Sudbrook Park, near Petersham; he then seemed rather poorly, and complained of sickness. He was iu bed when she saw him. When be was afflicted with jaundice he was attended by Mr. Waterworth, surgeon, of the Old Kent-road. W. D. Dresser, of 11, Rotherfield-street, Islington, is cousin to deceased. Besides the jaundice he complained of severe pain about the hip, whi c h h e called rheumatism. thatwith warns he ivas water, suffering had a similar attack four o r fi ve years ago, when he was and laid up for three months. The l as t ti me I saw deceased alive was on the 28th of May, when he comp l a i ned of pain f i r n om the rh g e r u tn a . tism H . is e n x e pr w es a s s ionwas fomented witness then left him. On last Tuesday morning he learned that Mr. Dresser was dead, when he accompanied Mrs. Dresser to Richmond, together with Mr. G. Arnold. When he saw deceased his body was lying on a bed in room No. 4. There was a great change in his face. He was nearly black about the neck. He was a dark man when in health ; but his face, when a corpse, was particularly so. The body ap peared to be much swollen, and froth was issuing from his nostrils, covering a large portion of his face. They had seen Dr. Ellis previous to their examining the corpse ; when, after asking the doctor the cause of death, he placed a paper in his hands, which contained the diagnosis. This paper was as follows : " Mr. Richard Dresser came here on Eriday last, to seek relief from what he termed rheumatism hi the hip (properly sciatica), giving no other particulars; the case was thought admissible. But it soon appeared that he had been suffering from hepatitis of the sub-acute character, giving rise to sup puration; occasioning exudations of lymph and a rapid ex tension of the disease to the adjoining viscera. The symp toms were tympanitis, total inaction of the bowels, and sluggishness of the urinary organs, very severe pain in the left leg from the groin along the thigh to the ancle, coldness of the extremities, and loss of power. He was treated as is usual to subdue the symptoms ; the pain was soon suspended ; the bowels, though stubborn, acted freely, after the means had been tried, and continued to do so; and the urine either passed of itself, or was drawn off. The appetite allowed of his taking a little farinaceous nourishment, but disease pro ceeded insidiously; sub-acute inflammation advanced gra dually, though there was no sign of active progress; the organ became generally the seat of suppuration, the pulse became quicker and softer, with much perspiration ; the countenance became pale and sallow. There was tumefac tion of the liver, with a doughy, oedematous, or boggy feel of the hepatic region generally. The enlargement, or bulg ing, was very great about the false ribs. Oppression, with dyspnoea, or short breathing, immediately preceded his de cease, which took place at twenty minutes before eight o'clock this morning, June 2, without either a sigh or a struggle. " In three or four hours after his decease the fluids filled the chest and throat, and oozed copiously out of the ears, nose, and mouth. e The witness continued Having asked the doctor the cause of death, he said it was not rheumatism but hepatitis, and that, had he known he was labouring under that com plaint, he would not have admitted him into the establish- ment. Mrs.-Dresser. widow of tke deceased, was then led into the room, and it was with the greatest difficulty that she answered the necessary questions. She saw her husband at the establishment on Sunday afternoon last, when she un derstood that her husband had been placed in some warm baths, and he said that his pain had left him. He was sitting up in bed, covered with blankets, and with wet wrappers around him. He said that they had kept him very humble, not what he bad been accustomed to. When she saw him sitting in bed, she said to him, " What a strange position !" Ele replied that his two legs were useless, and were as cold as marble. She took tea with him, and wished him to take some, but he refused, because he said that it was not allowed. Dr. Ellis came home in the evening, when she told the doctor that she thcught her husband was ve:y bad, because he was so very cold. The doctor then took a large cloth, placed it in a wash-hand baton containing water, and then put it on her husband's stomach, because, he said, he was afraid of inflammation, which he wished to stop; because, he said, he could not suffer so valuable a life as his to be lost. Deceased was shortly Lfterwards placed in a bath. She saw him in half an hour, when there was so remarkable a change in his appearance that she thought her husband was struck with death. He was so very dark under the eyes that Mr. Ellis acknowledged he was much al!ered. My husband said that he felt no pain. His perspiration had stopped, which one of the bath men told her was in favour of the patient. The doctor asked her if she wished to have further advice, or if she desired to remove her husband? She then left her husband, the doctor promising to send her a letter in the morning, which she was to receive by eleven o'clock ; but at nine the secretary of the establishment called upon her to acquaint her with her husband's death. She went down to Petersham, and, after a great deal of persuasion, was allowed to see the corpse. She did not know whether the bandages which had been applied were dipped in warm or cold water. The baths were constituted of three pails of cold water with a small portion of hot taken from a small can which the bath-man held in his h an d . Mr. James Hicks, surgeon, said that he was in partner ship with Mr. Waterw or th , of the Old Kent-road. The , de ceased had been visited by his partner, but who was pre vented from attending the inquest in consequence of his being engaged in a labour case. The witness had assisted in a post mortem examination of the deceased, in connexion with Mr. Waterworth, hi s partner, on Thursday morning. The body externally pre sented the appearance of a man who had died from suffocation, the face being bloated and of a livid colour, with bloody froth and serum issuing from his mouth and nose; the whole of the posterior part of the trunk also bore evidence of extreme congestion. In the chest the lungs were healthy, but enormously congested, as also the heart, which was large and flabby, but otherwise healthy In the abdomen, the bowels were greatly distented with flatus, but otherwise empty; the liver was healthy, but con gested, and bearing no evidence of any previous disease ; the kidneys were slightly dise ase d , and also congested. He consi dered the immediate cause of death to have been extreme con gestion of the internal organs—namely, the lungs and heart, which exist e d to such an extent as to produce all the effects of suffocation, in not allowing air to get into the lungs. This congestion was likely to be produced by the application of cold externally, whether by cold air or by cold fluids, to the body ; cold applications have the effect of repelling the blood from the surface of the body to the in ternal organs, and from which, in many cases, arising from a weak condition of the constitution, the system was unable to relieve itself. He had read the paper written by Dr. Ellis previous to making the post ntortene examination, which he then read again to the jury, endeavouring to divest it of its technical character. He did not think that the paper written by Dr. Ellis at all gave the true cause of death—quite the contrary. He did not think that there was the least appearance of disease in the liver. There had evi dently been congestion of the lungs when the wet cloths were applied, and if the water were cold it would generally applica tion of hot flannels and stimulants, so as to restore circula tion.produce death.

The train, consisting of twelve carriages, accompanied by two bands of music, and propelled by two engines, - started from the Leeds station, Wellington-street, a little before one o'clock, the bands playing ' See the con quering hero comes." The gay banners attached to each carriage had a very pleasing effect, and the thousands of people who had assembled along the banks of the river testified by hearty cheers their delight in witnessing the first trip on a line which will unite two of the largest and most important commercial towns in Yorkshire. The train proceeded slowly through Armley and Kirkstall, in consequence of a portion of the rails at the Leeds end having only been laid ths day before. After passing through the Thachley Tunnel, which is a mile and a half in length, and being d e t a i ne d a s h or t t i me at Shepley fur a supply of wafer, the train proceeded at a rapid rate to Brad ford, when, after remaining an hour, it proceeded at a q u i c k rate on its return.

Last evening, at six o'clock, bir.W. PP." Vne, coroner for the city of Loudon, and 2.11117 or .o inhabitants of the ward of Bishopsgate 'Without. assembled in the Board room of the East London Thelon, No. 1, Devonshire square, to investigate the deaths of John Toomey, aged ad , and Mary Toomey, his wife, aged 38 years, the victims of the horrible tragedy which took place in Widegate-street, on Wednesday last, under the circum stances detailed in our columais of Thursday. The proceedings excited considerable interest, and the Rev. Dr. Russell, Rector of Bishopsgate, the chair man, and several other members of the Board of Guardians of the East London Union were present during the inquiry. The jury, having been sworn, proceeded to view the bodies, which lay in the second floor back of the house No. 13, Widegate-street, Bishopsgate- street. On their return the following evidence was entered into:— Elijah Myers was flied called. He said---I reside at No. 12, Saridys-row. On Wednesday afternoon l as t, about a qu ar t er b e f ore 4 o'clock, I wa s s in Widegate strect, opposite No. 13, when a girl came :nen'l •and said her f a th er, s h e thought, was in a fa. I ng si o, e a n t t , up stairs at No. 13, with a person named i'aa , :lor, and found the door f as t ene d. an d a chair placed : i ginst th e e door on the inside. I b urst open the door,„.i saw t deceased man hanging by a h an dk erchief from therail of the bedstead. I saw no other person in the room at • this time. I gave Alfred Taylor a knife, and he c u t him down, There was a letter pinned o n tile outside of the deceased man's coat, and Taylor took it air and gave it to a policeman. We laid the decasedanan ou the bed, and Mr. Gilbert was sent for, but he was quite dead. I saw nothing of the body of a woman. The Coroner here read the paper found pinned to the deceased man's coat, which was written on the back of the title-page of a pamphlet entitled "The Magazine of Popular Information on Capital and Secondary Punish ment," It was as follows :—" With all her faults I love her still, if she would but reform. I have tried all the means I could try, but in vain. She would not con form to anything rational, consequently, rather than be bound to allow her a single shilling, I'll suffer this a score times. No jealousy, both share --- alike, old girl. Oh, friends of humanity console my poor afflicted and distracted orphan girl." Mary Crawley said—l reside at 11, Knight's-build- ' ings, 3un-street, and knew the deceased, Mary Toomey. I went to her house in Widegate-street on Wednesday afternoon, and was there when the room door was broken open. About three-qnarters pf as hour after the man was found hanging 1 found the woman lustier the bed, lying on her right side. She was quite dead, and her hands and legs were tied up. Ann Barrett examined—l reside at 6, Widegate-street. The deceased, Mary Toomey, was my sister. She had been married to John Toomey 18 years. They have two children surviving, bet neither was staying with them. I saw my sister on Wednesday afternoon last, about 4 o'clock, in Petticoat• lane, and conversed with her. On the previous day I met the deceased man, and offered to give him some beer, but he refused it, saying that there was something the matter with his heart, and he could not drick it. He went to my place and had some coffee, apd left about half -past 9 o'clock, and I gave him 6d., as he said he had no candle. Ile was in the greatest distress, and deceased and his wife had pawned all their things tq buy food. They were allowed 2s. a week and two loaves of bread by the union. He was latterly a porter, but he had had no work to do for the last three months. They paid 2s. a week for rent ; but I think they were a week in arrear. The deceased man had pawned his shirt off his back to get food. The de ceased woman was not a drunkard, but she and her hus band quarrelled very much about their distress. On a previous occasion, last Christmas, I believe, he got a bottle of poison with intent to poison his wife. I think he was induced tocommit this act solely through distress. Several witnesses were here called, who spoke to the dreadful distress in which the deceased parties appeared to be, and to their continual habits of quarrelling. Mr. C. H. Gilbert examined—l am a surgeon, and re side at No. 1, Raven-row, Spitalfields. About four o'clock on Wednesday last I was called to 13, Widegate street, and I found the deceased man dead from hanging. About half an hour after I was called in to see the de• ceased woman. I found her under the bed, covered with a sheet, and quite dead from strangulation. The woman's hands were tied in front of her, and the legs were also tied with some shreds of old bed covering. Both de ceased persons had, in my opinion, been dead seven or eight hours. The deceased woman was in the last month of pregnancy. IV /he jtiry - -The woman's hands were tied so loosely that I think she might have released them if she had thought proper. There can be no doubt but the man had placed her where she was found under the bed be fore he committed the act himself. Mary Anne Toomey, the daughter of the deceased per sons, was next called, and having been interrogated as to the nature of an oath, was sworn. She said the de ceased were my father and mother. I was at place when this happened. I saw my mother last alive about four o'clock on Tuesday. She was then sober. I saw her on Monday night, when she had been drinking. I saw my father on Tuesday night at home, and he told me he wanted me very early next morning. I cannot tell the cause of what has happened, unless it was in conse quence of my father being out of work, and being so poor. They had nothing but the 2s. from the union to live upon for the last three or four weeks, as my mother, who worked at tailoring, had had none to do. When she got work she used to earn Is. per day. They used to quarrel very much, and he used to say, " She might view in him her butcher." By the CORONER—My father has been i❑ troalle, and been abroad. lie returned home about nine months since. I have lost my place in consequence of this oc currence. My father attended Moorfie:ds Catholic Chapel, but he received no relief from the chapcd. Two other papers which had been found in the de ceased's room, were here read by the Coroner. They bore the following:— • I tried every effort to surpass this. Oh, horrid deed ! But the misguided, deluded woman, as if born to goad me to do it. May it be a lesson to bad wives, to reform in time. I should wish to say much more, only my mind is unsettled. Mr. Robertson talked to me very kind, and no man could take more pains with me than the Rev. P. Dyer, who offered me money—but to no use—my spirits were entirely gone, through the unkind ness of my unhappy wife. Mr. Church, a good-hearted man, and a true faithful servant to the City Gas Com pany, and a good friend to the stokers, but many of them do not seem to know it." Mr. James Roberts, relieving officer of the East Lon don Union, examined—l first had to do with deceased's family about four years ago, when his wife came to me for relief in consequence of his being transported. I again saw the wife about six weeks ago, when she came for relief, and I saw the man on Tuesday last, when he came to me about his wife. After I first saw the wife I visited them, and found the man had no shoes. I then told them to come before the board. I hinted to the board that as the wife was pregnant they had better go into the house, but the woman had so strong an objection to the union that the board allowed them 2s. per week and two loaves of bread. This was on the 29 th of April, and that would carry them on for four weeks. I told them on the last time the allowance was given that that was the last time. They omitted to apply until last Friday, in stead of applying on the 27th of May, and I then gave her the same relief as before. They were to have come before the board on last Wednesday. I called upon them last Sunday evening, and tried to urge upon the woman, as she was so far advanced in pregnancy, to go into the house. They both objected to this very strongly, and the man appeared very desponding. On Tuesday evening last Toomey came to me, and told me not to give his wife any more relief, as she was unworthy of it. She had come home drunk on the Monday night, and had gone out on that (Tuesday) morning, and been out all day. He added, that she had been the cause of all his misfortunes, and was not worthy of relief, as she had money. He shed tears, and appeared very desponding, but was perfectly sober. They were never at any time refused relief by me, although I acted, on their second application, without the order of the board. There being no fprther evidence, The CORONER, at some length, proceeded to eNplain the law as it related to the crime of murder and felo-de. se, and, having concluded his observations, the jury wer e about considering their verdict when Mr. l'AvaiE observed that he had just had some cir cumstances mentioned to him by a gentleman on his left which he thought would greatly assist the jury in coming to a conclusion, inasmuch as it made the motives for the commission of the act on the part of Toomey more clear. He thought, therefore, the jury had better hear it in evidence. A gentleman, one of the guardians of the City of London Union, but whose name did not transpire, was then sworn. He said—John Toomey was, about four years ago, in the employ of a wholesale confectioner in St. John-street-road, where he committed, in con junction with a fellow-servant, robberies to a very large amount. Indeed, when the discovery was made, a whole roomful of grocery and other things were found, with which it was his intention to set up business for himself, he having given his companion 15/. as his share of the plunder. He was transported for seven years, but his good conduct caused him to be liberated at the expiration of four years, Shortly after committal, Toomey's wife discovered that he bad 1001. in the savings' bank, and she got the Rev. Dr. Russell and others to write to the Secretary of State about it. After considerable trouble the Secretary of State wrote to the then Sheriff; I believe Mr. Alderman Magnay, and the woman ultimately got all the money but 10/., which sh e expended in her support. On the release of Toomey he expected to have found his wife had stillth e e nr l ag Off e l a , a b n u a t when he found she had not b e became so disappointed that he appeared to detest her, and fre quently threatened to destroy her. The jury, after hearing this statement, again con sulted for about a quarter of an hour when they re turned a verdict, " That the deceased,' John Toomey, destroyed his wife and then himaelf , being at the time in a state of temporary insanity."

Powrsmourn, JUNE s. —The Lightning steam-yacht; Mas ter Commander Petlev, has been placed at the disposal of the Prince of Egypt during his sojourn at this port, Mr. Pettey was presented to his Highness this morning, at the George Hotel, by Major Dickson, ILA., appointed .Equerry in Wait ing to his Royal Highness. • The _Comet steam-vessel, Lieutenant Commander W. Pretyman, left last evening for Devonport, with supernume raries. She put on board the Canopus, -- at Spithead, a detach ment of marines, which arrived yesterday afternoon,'per rail, from Chatham. The Polypitetrini' 'steatn-sloOp, Commander APCleverty, left last night for Lisbon with dispatches. The Eurydice ' 26, Captain George Elliott, i s progress i ng very rapidly in her dttings for sea, and has nearly obtained her complement. Much jealousy has been exhibited by the .‘ craft" at Captain Elliott's' recommissioning this ship, but as he did not serve his time out in her by nearly six months, his re-appointment to her was only a usual thing and a bare act of justice; but au act of gross injustice both to Captain Elliott, and th e ga ll ant admiral his father, has by the same board been perpetrated Within the last few days,' which a press of other matter has compelled us to 'defer mentioning until the present moment. It is well known the :Eurydice and Spartan (now fitting at Deyonport), both .26 guns the former built on the design of Admiral Elliott,and, the ' latter by Sir William Symonds, are to :compete in sailing. &c , when ready. The Eurydice was professedly built to trc an; experiment of great importance, viz., if 'a lighter draught of water cannot be obtained for ships of .war with the same sailing advantages, Now the Spartan has been newly cop pered, not so the Eurydice, although the necessity for it exists in as 'great a degree. as 'in the' other clfse. Thus the Spartan will . -haVe a very - manifest and important advantage over her competitor. - Two of Mr. Bolt's excavators, employed in the new steam basin, having incautiously undermined a considerable body of earth, it gave way and buried them yesterday afternoon. A number of men were immediately set.to work to dig them out, but some time elapsed before They could le extricated. Both were much hurt, but one so seriously that h.• era, taken to Hasler Hospital. He was reported to-day to be dead. SHEERNESS, Jung s:—There are but few arrivals or sail lugs to report as having occurred during the past week, - The Fearless steamer brought Captain Brandretb, 'Royal En gineers, director of architectural and engineering works, on a visit to the Dockyard on Tuesday, and returned with him to Chatham the same evening. The Polyphemus steam -sloop, - Commander James J. APCleyerty, arrived from Woolwich on Wednesday, and having taken on board a few supernumeraries from the flag ship, sailed the same day for Portsmouth. The Dido, 20, Captain J. B: Maxwell, progresses favour ably with her equipment and manning. She has her top masts fitted, the main on a principle of Commander I.e febvres for trial. The Boscawen, 70, was towed down from her moorings at Standgate-creek, ou Tuesday, to be re-caulked and painted. The Havannah, '2O, ranee, is not to' be counnisioned at present. She is having, her tops covered to protect them from the weather, and will be discharged i n t o or di nary , as anadVance ship, in a few days, The following vessels occupy the Basin :—Howe, 120, under repair; Conquestador and Wor ces t er , .1(t- gtat f r i gates , and Havannah, 20, fitting a advanced ship;; and nide, 20, fitting for sea. In'Dock-Chiellester, 50; Horatio, 44; Dragon stcai frigate; and Dart, 8, building. In Ifarbonr—Ocean, 80, flag shin pro km.; I:aVen, ; African, Wildfire, and Cuckoo steamers. THE FOrtTIFICATIONS,--The new works continue to pro gress slowly and steadily. The scarp of the battery forming opposite the Dockyard -gate is now being proceeded with. The musketry walls connecting it to the old works •of (:ar rison Point on the one hand, and to lii, line of bastions ex tending from the Thames to the Medway on the other, :Ire well nigh completed. Each wall is upwards of 120 yards in length, three feet thick, front ten to twelve feet. in height, and has loop-boles fto musketry at every three and a half fret distance. A ditch, fifty feet wide and fifteen feet deep, is to surround the battery. It is almost formed, and will e,,in municate with that from the Medway, which is to in' cleared out and deepened, and the bastions extending along it are to be heightened with the mud procured by the excavation. The following guns have been ordered for the new works: —One 56-pcunder, 97 cwt., 11 feet. long; 17 eight-inch guns, 65 cwt. each, 9 feet long ; 28 '32-pounders, 56 cwt. eact, feet long-total, 58. The 24-pounders will be me.linted on iron carriages, but all the heavier guns on Wooden•carriages with traversing platforms. Sixty -tree guns of a similar description have already been received, and - are to be mounted on the old works surrowid ing the garrison. The alterations and repairs there are pro gressing favourably, the pivots and tramways for the t reverting platforms of all the 32-pounders being already laid down ; the parapet has also been heightened along its whole extent. One or two comp an i es o f art ill ery are to b in future perma nently stationed here, and new and extensive barracks are to be erected for their accommodation, the present being con fined and incapable' of accommodating more than 300 men, which is the average number of troops forming this garrison. Captain Alexander, R.E., the active and intelligent officer under whose superintendence the works have pro gressed so far, is ordered to proceed to the Bahamas. lie is to be succeeded by Captain Whitmore from Chatham, The four company deOt of the Ist battalion of the Rifle Brigade, consisting of Major Robert Walpole, Captains Norcot and Reynard, Lieutenants Glyn, Stewart, Oxenden, Brown, Butler, and Churchill, sergeants, corporals, and 209 rank and file, arrived here on Monday from Chatham, and relieved detachments of the 28th and 78th Regiments, which returned to Chatham, under Captain Tobin of the l lth Regi ment, the seine day. AN IMPUDENT IMPOSTOR.—There is the greatest sen sation felt in the neighbourhood cf Stroud, and the vil lages contiguous, by the appearance of a Mr. Coushman, ai.disant " prophet." He professes to be endowed With 21 miraculous power of healing ' the most extreme cases of disease, and even such physical ailutonis that are not classi fied in the nomenclature of the faculty ; he having for a period of thirteen years (as he state") prayed without in termission for the attainment of such a desideratum. He has deigned to visit this locality, leaving for a time his native county, Essex, at the ardent. solicitation of certain aged families in the neighbourhood. He makes no formal charge, but gives his patients the strongest intimation that he cannot anh.sist without sonic (‘ pecuniary assistance," in the performance of his great mission.' He is about 70 years of age, stands about five feet eight inches high, is extremely ignorant, especially of the Scriptures, and though he meats ith such unprecedented success, lie is by HO means mentally calcu lated for an impostor. The number of visitors lie re ceives f both sexes, of all ages, and of ever: o 7: ti e . of society, for physical aid, and the es.termination of constitutional disease, is a fact incredible, and an auomally of the 19th century. He arrogates (he says) l o i r a p a ra t ;er tof hhise self "no power,' but in the ps cases trusts alone to the efficac3 faith of his patients., This imaposioer p i o s or t e u r ak el i a n s g se z ri sado t duping g t out"of thousandsthe hoafrdweeaarku.imin earnings s ded and credulous indivi duals who suffer their assent to precede their reason ; and it is devoutly to be wished that some*influential party would speedily adopt means to rid the neighbourhood of so dele terious a ntueance, for it is needless to add that all who visit him are under the im doped ression of their 'convalescence while they eventually find themselves relapsed and t of their Money.

The property i s t ermed is a o c , t 2o y f the Norwich Steam rower Company, that company having within the last few years raised two immense fac tories near the city. It appears the'alarm was raised at about four o'clock, by a boy, who perceived fire and smoke Issuing from the engine -house, which, a large brick double-roofed building . , was found to be in dames, The result was, th a t the engine-house is gutted, and its valuable content s , ma chinery,•&c., much injured. Departments in the factory were hired by nearly all the manufacturers of Norwich.
