SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. ' FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TlMES.—Atter duly contemplating the life and ser vices, the admirable characteristics , and the unexam pled positio n o f the man England has just lost, ono may venture at last to speak of that immense crop of honoure, titles, offices, and guerdons of every imagina ble sort which have been heaped upon him. It may truly be said that not on l y kings and princes, but ell ranks, all classes, every age and sex whom, as all e r . in this country, have delighted to hono ur t h e man t believed, Heaven had giv en it deliverance.o tos kind, u Whatever f i was rare and precious, the first the very cream of honour and the fl ower of consideration, has national been accumulated on the obj ec t o f our regard, like the glittering arms and decor a ti ons on an trophy. Distinction, each of them, i n its way, theob ancient -a ject of ardent ambition and jealous rivalry, have been piled upon him in almost wasteful profu s i on . The prize that had long fed the hopes of twenty s u it ors h as , in this instance, been only thrown into the heap. So long and so splendid is the mere catalogue of honours, that, for a whole generation, young men, and their elders too have repeatedly opened the Peerage for th e express ' purpose of rekindling their admiration with the splendid recital; and this was, in all sane and ordinary minds, without a particle of envy, and without even a hope of imitation. The trophies of our Miltiades have robbed no man of his sleep. Even they who were pitted against the Duke of Wellington in his Indian services and his earlier Peninsular campaigns, and who might feel themselves aggrieved at his forwardness, his favour, or his fortune, uniformly lived to justify all these three ac cessories to his success. Indeed all of us, though ever so far or ever so nearee-if any were near him in the race of honour—have felt only pleasure in the reflection that we had so great a man in our age and our country; and, more than all, that the man thus ours by the accident of birth was, to the very heart's core, and to the very mar row of his bones—an Englishman. We will not quarrel with the traditionary John Bull which political humour ists make the type of our race; but we must say that it has always struck us moat forcibly that the perfect ideal of the Englishman was to be found in the Duke of Wel lington. All such personal admiration, philosophers tell us, is only a sabtle form of self-worship, and cer tainly we should never all agree to like a man who was not singularly like ourselves. That deep community of f ee ling we believe to be at the bottom of the un bounded homage we have paid to this name. In this country the peerage is the most coveted of all possessions. It is given charily, and never with out raising a national controversy as to the merits and claims of the new Peer. The successive steps of nobility are scarcely less coveted, scarcely less disputed, and the ma n who from a viscount becomes an earl, or from a marquis a duke, is thought to have done as much for one life as could bo expected. He is accounted the second founder of his family. The Duke of Wel lington, as the Peerage loves to tell, and as we all love to read, scaled all the steps of the nobility at one bound. Ile left England plain Sir Arthur, and came back a Duke. Wh e n he took his seat all the patents of nobility were read at once. But the British Peerage itself, with its manifold steps, proved insufficient, and when Water loo had eclipsed the Peni nsu l a , th ere rema i ned no other rank, title, or addition that England could bestow, a nd the Duke was Duke b ecause h e cou l d be nothing higher. Thus the highest r an k o f our uncl •e's t nobility was at the same time en no bl e d and diminished by the gigantic proportions of its new member. To proceed, we know not how many times the Duke of Wellington has received the thanks of both Houses of Parliament, and there is hardly an educated person who has not read over and over again with emotion those few wonderful words which the Speaker of the H ouse of Commons addressed to the Duke when at last he appeared in person on that floor. Some of our nobility have also foreign titles, and are not a little proud of them, though their origin is long since forgotten. The Duke had the highest titles that could be given by three considerable Sovereigns from whose territories be bad driven the legions of the Emperor. The Duke was a Field-Marshal—the only real Field-Marshal —and when Englishmen are asked, " West is a Field-Marshal? they will answer, " The Duke of Wellington." He was also Field-Marshal in three other of the greatest armies in the world, where Field-Marshals are as few as in our service. To pass on. The Order of the Garter is unspeakably precious to the eyes of rank in this country. A man without heirs would rather be a K.G. than a Duke. It is so mixed up with royalty, that the collar, the badge. the mantle, and the motto all decorate our coinage. When a stall falls vacant at least a dozen dukes and earls, the proprietors of counties, and the holders of great offices, are thrown into agonies of suspense. With two or three such baits a Minister could purchase or pacify support enough to save or to ruin his country. The highest honours of foreign knight hood are not less prizsd, and every admission to the order of the Golden Fleece is an historical event, cer tain to provoke angry discussion in the English and French journals. The Duke of Wellington was in the first class of all the principal orders of Europe. Be sides these honours on the scale and stage of the world, universally recognized" and current, there are others that are only known at home, but not the less valued. The Wardenship of the Cinque Ports has been highly appreciated by our most distinguished Mi nisters, and probably at this moment would be gladly accepted by Royalty itself. Of course this has long been in the hands of the Duke , and tens of thousands, in passing from N ort h to S ou th Foreland, have thought of him as they passed by Weimer Castle. To be Con stable of the Tower of London is enough of itself to give importance to any military name. That has long been thrown in among other dignities. The Chancellorship of the University of Oxford has always been so stoutly contested, that friendships, antipathies, promotions, and even schools of opinion have dated from the elections. At the first vacancy after the Duke's exploits it was conferred upon him without opposition, though not an academical man. The Duke was for many years stand ing Commander-in-Chief, under changing Cabinets, and rival Premiers equally bowed to his authority. He was also for a long time Master of the Trinity-house, a post hardly less responsible and important. Be sides these, he bad colonelcies, commissionershipe, and governorships without end, the Lord- Lieutenancy of his county, and a multitude of smaller offices and honours which it is imposeiele to remember and not easy to learn. We have omitted im mense Parliamentary grants, pensions, Strathfieldeaye, prize-money, silver-shields, plateaus, services in gold and china, diamond stars, poured in upon him by emperors, kings, armies, corporations, ladies, and every possible donor. We have omitted statues of all sorts and sizes. Our limits compel us to take things in the gross; but, even with this rapid and wholesals mode of enumeration, we are omitting various heads and modes of acknowledgment. It is not our present purpose to notice the gigantic powers of the man who could dis charge with credit such a multitude of offices, almost any ono of them sufficient to occupy an ordinary . mind. We are only noticing the extraordinary accu mulation of honours heaped by the gratitude, the ad miration, and the confidence of this country, and the greater part of the civiliz'd world, on a man who never rose or wished to rise above the rank of a subject or obedience to the laws, and whose sole prin ciple through life was that which we teach the children in our Sunday schools, viz., to do their duty in that state of life unto which it shall please God to call them. But the most exhaustive enumeration of honours that memory could reach, after all, fails of describing the position of this man for the last forty years. It does not include that personal interest, that reverential regard, and that respectful curiosity which all have felt for a person to whom they were so much indebted, and who hardly fell short of the most romantic ideal of heroism. No one in this country ever received so much of that popular testimony, monslrari digits pretereuntinm, excepting that the spectators were not always content with a passing glance. For many years he was daily watched from Apsley House to the Horse Guards, and. as he always arrived at the House of Lords exactly at a quarter to five o'clock, ho had always a tail of modest admirers behind him, and a species of reception by a circle, often including well-drest people from the country, at the street entrance of the House of Lords. Latterly, as be came in his phaeton or on horseback, this opportu nity of a deliberate survey was more extensively used. No parade or spectacle wascomplete without him, and his presence everywhere secured all the success that was desired. Whenever he appeared in the Exhibition last year he was soon oppressed, and sometimes driven away, by the redundant enthusiasm of his provincial admirers. In the fashionable world he was everything and everywhere, and at everybody's call, yet never lost his value; though, in some instances, he certainly appro. ciated himself at a lower rate than his sensitive friends could have wished. For many years he has been the universal father at weddings and Godfather at baptisms; yet, so little had his philanthropy been cheapened by the multitude of its objects, that when a Royal Prince was born on his birthday he was put in requisition; and, for his sake, we have a Prince Arthur once more in Britain. Beginning with her Majesty and Prince Albert, there is not a family in the fashionable world that has not shown as much interest and curiosity about the Duke as any middle class household that had heard of his 'battle!, but had no hope or chance of a nearer acquaintance.

CHRONICLE.—Having reviewed the great character of the Duke of Wellington, both in his military and civil capacities—as a general and as a statesman—it remains but to show that his public virtues wore not factitious, but sprang naturally out of the true man, Arthur Wel- lesley. In other words, we may learn something from the spectacle of his simple, real, inner mind. W e may. view him apart from robes and uniform—no longer the leading spirit of the camp and Cabinet, but in private, in his individuality, as he was in himself. Cesar has left his military papers, but they betray few traces of character; Frederick the Great was at least great in the amount of his literary performances, though very small in the moral impression which he leaves • and Na poleon was an author after a fashion, though ' his fame these most honourably 54 -CC-1.8 from his written picture of himself. But the col lected Dispatches and military Memoirs of the Duke of Wellington actually fill nine large octavo volumes, and not known till they- have a test of ven u the parallel Dispatch: appeared. In this collection we Y reveal the man. The Duke was Nel son survive to sot truly was; and, curiously enough, contrast. The the of fs both of Marlborough and and artificial—probablydelineation in the lights of Marlboroughthey Dispatches are cold, dull, ries.

Th e publication of Colonel Gurwood. reveals a very different t y pe if " hero," in its old sense, can ever be the of hero-- pellation of Wellington. He bad, indeed, properinr ap pellation true heroism than either his predecessor or his contemporary, but it was because he had less of the conventionere, He never made fine speeches—never did dazzli ng thea trical things—seldom or never furnished subjects for sentimental pictures. His correspondence with the Ministry and the War-office is simple, but it is the very reverse of tedious; for every intelligent reader of the " Wellington Dispatches," though unacquainted with, or uninterested is, the details, feels that the writer is ssying exactly what the occasion demanded, and no more. The penny post has had its value in de stroying the type of letters written as epistolary exer cise ; but the Dulto anticipated the condensed style of our own days! lie was never a master of composition ; but, through mac a occasional uncouthness, his meaning was always perceptible and clear. This applies to his speeches as well as his writiugs. That the Duke was no Suidas, everybody knows; bat though he sometimes hit the nail roughly, and too hard, and too often, the nail was always :hit. Nis speeches were more verbose than his dispatches, but in the least effective of them there was ever a core of sense—a clear note of truth, earnestness, and reason, which told both on the House of Lords and ot, the people. The Duke's speeches were often widely at variance with the rules of rheto rical art, but they invariably told. Whether as a writer or a speaker, there was no possibility of mis taking Wellington. His calmness of temperament saved his letters from the more obvious failings of his oratory ; but the defects in his speeches are attributable partly to a sort of nervousness inseparable from en effort in which he knew that he was not successful, and partly—perhaps chiefly—to his intense desire to be understood. Hence the exaggerations, the repetitions, and the false metaphors which a small criti cism has not unfrequently detected in his oratory. All these were but the signs of an earnest, anxious vehe mence to say his say in such a way as to tell. The Duke evidently felt that, if it were his business to speak, he must take care to speak so that the dullest auditor should understand him. " F.M. the Duke of Welling ton's" private letters have become proverbial; and yet, though we have all smiled at their quaintness, we can not roost one which did not, after all, say just what the writer meant, whilst it also showed that he meant what he said. And seldom was his brief, pointed, extem poraneous judgment or answer misapplied. The Duke scarcely did more by minding his own business than by making it known, in choice, pithy English, that it was best for everybody else likewise to mind his own business—a lesson worthy and signifi cant of the teacher. Multifarious enough, certainly, were those opportunities of interference or co-opera tion which the good Duke did not exclude from his acknowledged sphere of duty. All the common haunts of fashion, as well as society's worst bores, he faced with a manly resolution which grew at length into a liking—duty became a pleasure, and a customary form and mode of life. Wellington felt that he was common property ; and such ho was. Smaller' men would have grown vain or sulky upon being challenged in this way; but ii all came as a matter of course to the Duke. It was right and kind to be at people's parties — to give them his mime—to give away their duaghters— and to eat their dinners. In doing this every day in the season, the Duke made no parade of himself) He was the first subject of the Crown; in his person, were concentrated many of the offices, and most of the honours and dignities of the State; these things, were his country's gifts to him, and the country had a Corre sponding share in its Great Duke. The country bad a right to him and to his services, to his presence, his blue ribbon, and all the rest of it; and frankly and cheerfully, like an honest, earnest man, the Duke ad mitted this. And so he was always to be seen in " ball and bower"—to the very last he reared, with feeble hands, the great sword of Estate—to the very last he was punctual in his customary ride from Apsley House to the Horse Guards. The people loved to have their Great Captain ever before them ; and the Duke of Wellington was too wise to deny the claim. All this shows a cheerful, sympathising, truthful temper; and it was so felt and understood by his countrymen. Without being a courtier, there have been very few who have ever done so much by personal weight. It was not owing to a more fashion or prejudice that " the counsel which he counselled in those days was as if a man had inquired at the oracle of God." There was always that in the Duke's advice which would have given it intrinsic importance. Its character was that of perfect common sense. It was not the mere result of experience—there was an intuitive quickness with which the Duke stripped a subject of its accidents. When the Queen, on any great emergency, sent for the Duke, she might not only depend upon thorough honesty, entire disinterestednes s , a sound judgment, and an opinion dictated by pe r f ec t loyalty—but, yet more, the advice offered to the Crown under difficulties was generally a faithful reft e es tion of the sound opinions of the people. Wh at the Duke recommended never differed much from the wishes of the majority of right-thinking minds. In listening to him the Sovereign listene d to a true interpreter of public opinion; and that Wellington, sy in his declining years, with all his ante ce d ents, should have come in this sense to represent the popular send meet,i lnghis e r h a i t e i n the honours. P f ersonally—of coursement, w i s m we are a not Duke's character ex cept from public sources—Wellingto n the details of social life hi s habitual .carried out into reotness.

Charicalike who he thought had peen connexions and th t e hnugh he was seldom seen on liar claims up eerboilred—on subscription lists—he always platforms, or en _ store .., and generally relieved, private methodically re n gi a 4 a recent instance, in which it appeared applications; a impostor had profited long and largely by his that some --- ved that the Iron Duke was far from be• t alms, pro seer° i ng unsusceptibia of the tenderer and higher emotions. In all t h a t we know of his religion it was in accordance w i t h his character —sim p le, re g ular, and unostentatio u s . But in such a mind formality was one of the conditions of earnestness. And in the highest matters he had at least the good sense and feeling never to interfere In dis putes which he did not understand. Of pretence he wee incapable—of all men of his age, he bad the least tinge of unreality. If wanting in what is called affability, none ever yet charged the Duke with being insincere. These are high elements of personal character. Wellington's virtues, if of the hard, were of the enduring and resol'ld kind. The Duke was emphatically a great man —gre a t not only in what he achieved, but great in himself. H e was born to lead and to influence. England i s eta • l not the field for dynastio changes, nor d oes it aln y favourable chances to an adventurer; but if, to his o ff r great powers and successes, the Duke of Wellin g t on had added i personal ambition, there have been peri o d s of histor y and there are yet spheres, in which he might ha ve re y a ' dangerous as a subject. Were another Warw ic k be en, siute, Arthur Wellesley had the stuff in him tobe a iking maker, or even king. But a nobl e and affectiona te, e delicate and chivalrous loyalty, fully worthy of other days, with an earnest patriotism, kept • inchec k, and made beautiful, qualities which • - - might else have become formidable to State, Crown, and country. Throug hout his whole career, duty and Obedience personal passion. inspired bi him , un alloyed by any ignoble or ~,e was the time at the drudgery of the Horse Guards as in the splendid vicissitudes of siege and battle; and he carried out, in fading years and with faltering powers. the great purpose of his manhood and his prime.

The ceremony of naming her was performed in the u.ual way by the lady of Sir Thomas Pasley, the Captain Superintendent of Pembroke Dockyard. The Windsor sor Castle was originally intended for a 120-gun ship, but was afterwards lengthened midships, for the purpose of giving the necessary increase of displacement for the engines, boilers, coils &a., and abaft for the accommoda tion of the screw propeller.

NEWBURY, SEPT. 16.—T0-day's market has been largely supplied with Wheat, a small proportion of which was old, which met a good sale at full rates. The finest selected parcels of new realised nearly late rates, whilst secondary and inferior descriptions, of which the bulk consisted, were quite a drug, and although offered at fully 2e per quarter decline, much remained unsold. In Spring corn we are but moderately supplied, and, with a dull sale, we have no alteration to note in value. LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 17.—Though the harvest may be considered as mostly secured the very fino weather we are now having exercises a certain degree of influence on the corn trade, by causing the condition of what is brought to market of the new crop to be better than was anticipated, and, as well, curtailing the demand. Busi ness generally has been inactive this week, and at our Corn Exchange this morning we had a small attendance of buyers. There was no change observed in prices of good quality of wheat and flour, and as regards choice samples of American barrels of the latter they are ex ceedingly scarce. Other artieles remain as quoted on Tuesday last. EXETER, SEPT. 17.—Cattle—The supply of cattle and sheep, although large, was not so extensive as last week. The attendance of dealers was tolerably numerous, and a good stroke of busin e ss was done, Beef maintains the recent advance in price, and the quotations for prime quality were from 8a to 9s per score; inferior not much in demand at from 7. to 7s 6d; cows and calves, Si 8s to 121 12s; barreners, 43 fid to 5s 6d per score; butchers' calves, sti to sid per lb; sheep sold at about last week's quotations. For prime small wethere, sid per lb; large ditto, sd: ewes, 4id to 5d per lb; lamb, 6d—a small supply. Pigs as last week. Pork Carcases—The sup ply was about the same as last week, and no alteration in price—quotations • varying from 6s 64 to 7s 9d per score.

TEIE CLOTHING MANUFACTURES. ENGLISH WOOL, LEEDS, SEPT. 17.—Some kinds of wool aro very scarce and much inquired for, and all kinds are lighter stock than in former years at thi s season. Prices are firm, and have an upward tendency. LIVERPOOL WooL, SEPT. 16.—Business is steady at late prices. The imports the past week have been 237 from Petersburg, 2 New York, 80 Gibraltar, 15 Egyptian, and 27 Naples. TRADE OF LEEDS.—There was considerable briskness and activity in the Cloth Halls both last Saturday and Tuesday, and a better business was done. Cloths of good marketable character were readily sold. Prices are firm. Stocks continue low. We believe the mills in the out-townships and adjacent manufacturing villages are all well employed, doing a sound healthy trade both to order and for the markets. There have been a few Scotch and Irish buyers in the town during the week, and a few houses that principally cultivate these branches of th e trade have been rather brisk, but on the whole business in the warehouses has been rather quieter this week. The shipping houses generally are doing less, the season being now over for the American market. TRADE of LEICESTER.—This being now the height of the season for the winter demand, all branches are very active, more particularly the fancy hosiery branch. Stocks of yarns are accumulating in the spinners' hands, who complain that whilst on the one hand they cannot get the advance they require from the hosier, on the other they cannot buy wools to go on with to obtain prime cost at their present prices. If the present demand continues, the hosier must purchase at the advance, as old stocks are nearly all cunsumed. Wools are firm, and more business doing. Nulls and brokes are in great request. BRADFORD, SEPT. 16.—The trade this day has been very much what it has been during the last few weeks. There is a brisk demand for lower qualities of Coburgs, but finer qualities are less sought atter. We hear of no alteration in worsted yarns and cotton warps. TRADE OF MANCHESTER, SEPT. 16.:—We have had a very firm market, and a fair amount of business i s doing in both cotton yarn and cloth. The attempt made on Tuesday to obtain the advance in price, in conse quence of the American advices to the effect that storms and the worm had inj ured the g rowing crops of co tton , was not persevered in , a nd the result has been that buyers have come rather m ore freel y into the m arket. In some descriptions o f g oods, in fact, more busi ness could not have been done , o nl y because sellers we re not reasonableable to supply prices tho . goods c op in yarna reasonablefor manufacturers is a time, and at good deal inquired for, and fetches full prices. There has been a fair demand also for export, and 20's to 30's water twist for Germany are hardening in price. Some of the spinners of repute of these yarns are under con tract for the whole of October, November, and Decem ber. For the Levant there is much business doing. Printing cloths are very scarce, and the market fully takes off the supply. In domestics and 'l' cloths there is a good deal doing, but manufactur ers com p lain t ha t it hss not been sufficient' to enable them to command re munerative prices. TRADE OF NOTTINGHAM.—It is satisfactory to state that the c )tton hose trade continues in rather a flourish ing condid, n. The drawer and pantaloon hands have in general full employment. A considerable quantity of warp silk gloves are being made; they are exquisitely s haped in Worcestershire, and are now sown in that county. The bobbin net trade, for good patterns and superi r net, is gradually improving, but the slop trade is evidently on the decline. The lace trade has been The Right 11 ---'-2----'------- on. J.

Such are cases ix., xi., xii.. and xviii. No. ix. had resisted, for a period of twelve yen's, the treatment by dilitation, and was finally removed in as many weeks.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe. The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under the personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few legally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short, every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental to the generative system, and the means of immediat e relief and u ltimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these ,and.

JUVENILE PROFLIGACY IN THE DELPiIi ARCHES. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Langham, the deputy coroner for Westminster, held an inquest at St. Martin's Workhouse, on the body of Mary Ann Palmer, a girl 15 years of age, wh o , for some time past, has been leading a lif e o f profligacy in the dark arches of the Adelphi, from the pestilential atmosphere of which she had not emerged during the last five months, until discovered by a policeman in the last stage of destitution and disease. The father of the unfortunate girl, a respectable man, carrying on the business of a carpenter in Hampden-street, Harrow road, stated that deceased, who was his only child, left her home last November, and from that time he had never seen her alive, although he had made the most anxious inquiries about her. Three years ago she left her home in company with a girl of her own age, and was eventually found in King's College Hospital, labouring under a foul disease. Sarah Cunningham, aged 18, residing in Charles-street, Drury-lane, said she, first met de ceased at the Victoria Theatre, about five months ago, and, finding her without a lodging, took her home fur the night. Since that time they had both led a life of prostitution in the dark arches of the Adelphi. Witness went to the arches every morning at half past eight and left at nine o'clock at night, but de ceased bad never left the arches day or night for the last five months. Many other girls, whose clothes were too bad to allow them to walk the streets, bad recourse to the arches for the same purposes as wit ness and deceased. They were in the habit of accosting the passenger s b y t h e h a lf penny b oat . ' J os e p h Solly, policeman 127, said he found deveaced on the sth instant in a state of utter lielplessness in the arches. She was too weak to walk, and he took her to St. Martin's Workhouse, where she died on Wednesday last. The Adelphi arches were harbours for the young and most wretched prostitutes of the metropolis, and from their extent and compli cated character they completely baffled the exertions of the police. Under the arches there were several sets of stables, and the men in charge of them allowed the girls to conceal themselves there when the police pursued them. Mr. Joshua Atkins, who attended deceased at the workhouse, said be found her suffer ing from a loathsome disease, her body was a mass of ulcerations, and her chest was affected. Death re sulted from dropsy on the chest, occasioned by starva tion and neglect. The jury returned a verdict in ac cordance with this testimony, and the coroner de nounced in terms of great severity the proceedings which were constantly carried on unchecked in the witnessAdelph Adelphi arches. Cunningham, es.Atthe request of the coroner, the master of St. Martin' s wor kh ous e took charge of the from m thi t n h g e which who said she would do WdheigraTinould be the means of relieving her g course of life she had been pursuing. ATTEMPT of TWO el:elos/tDE ES extraordinary l and l COMMIT SUICIDE by A circumstance o f a Painful character, and whi c h but forthe and humane exertions of the p art i es concerned in bringing LdD prompt it to ligir, would no doubt have ended fatally , has taken place in the parish of Mary lebone. About a month since, two ladies, of highly respect able appearance, and with manners of a very superior order, whose names have been se , certailied to be Harriet and Julia Sharpley, called at the house of Mrs. Turner, 41, Adam-street West, Edgvviere-road, and engaged her back attic, which was at th e t i me to be let furnished. They paid their rent regularly, an d went out together every day for the first fortnight, and their general appearance, although melancholy, plainly betokened that they had seen better da3s. A fortnight since last Wednesday they ceased to go out, and a week having elapsed since they had been seen or known to leave their room, fears were en tertained by Mrs. Turner, the landlady, that something was wrong as the door was kept locked. The woman in the adjoining apartment expressed her conviction that they had no food, as she never heard the sound of a plate or a knife and fork. On the afternoon of Wed nesday, the Bth inst., Mrs. Turner, with a view to ascertain the cause of their non-appearance, keocked at the door and told them she wanted the room for her son. One of the ladies replied, very well, and told her they would open the door in the evening. She went up, and on their opening the door she found them together, but they would not admit they wanted food, although they appeared in a very desponding and emaciated condition. She went down and made them some tea, and brought up some bread and but ter; but, although they thanked her for her kindness, they declined, saying they could not take it. She, however, insisted on leaving it and came down stairs, supposing her presence might hurt their feelings. They again locked the door, and feeling her position was a delicate one, the landlady did not like to dis turb them until Wednesday last, when, having re ceived intimation from the lodger in the next room that she heard moans proceeding from the back attic, she felt it to be her duty to go to Mr. Mackenzie, the beadle and summoning officer of St. Mary's district, who advised Mrs. Turner to have the door forced open, and if what she feared was true, to make im mediate application to the workhouse. Mrs. Turner acted under the advice, and laid the case before the workhouse authorities. Mr. Collett, one of the in spectors of out-door poor, immediately proceeded to the ,house, 41, Adam-street, to visit the case, and on entering the apartment, he found the sisters lying on the bed, dressed, and locked in each other's arms. They were both perfectly sen sible, but were so weak from want of nourish ment, that they were unable to stand, and one actually fainted in Mr. Collett's trips as he attempted to raise her. The inspector saw that unless some prompt measures were resorted to a few hours would terminate their existence, as they already appeared in o dying condition. He at once, in the most humane and praiseworthy manner, sent for brandy and wine, and admini s t ered i t, mixed with a little water, him self, which appeared to revive the unfortunate ladies. Mr. Grant, one of the medical officers, shortly after attended, a n d ordered stimulants an d nourishment, the which had t o b e administered by force, as pa tients were either unwillling or too weak to take them. Th ey ra lli e d a li t tle, and o n Thursday it was deemed advis a bl e , in order to insure them that con stant medical attendance and nourishment the case to the workhouse. Mr. Collett went to the h ous e requir e d, t o remo ve thern witb a cab for that purpose, laid when the sisters w ere informed where they were to be taken, they expressed the greatest horror and repugnance at gon gs • a s they said, to " the union:' affected one that it was feared both The removal d B a fter her arrival at the infir ary of on her way e`,workhouse, that she would have died l‘larylehone r The ultiaced in bed, nd , nd y att weree ' bv Gant ed by Mr. 'nt mately and Mr. Squires, the then head surge on of the infirmary, and by the kind atten tion o f Mrs. Bailey, the nurse of No. 36 ward, th e y are t are by no means out of da.neer, improving, u are , i s w ith great difficulty the nurse compels either of I t hem to takethe food broken at their position. . _ .. . The further inquiries of Mr. Collett have led to the following disclosures :—The unfortunate ladies, the eldest of whom is forty-one years of age, and the youngest thirty-nine, have an aged father and mother reduced from affluence to live with some relative in a small cottage at Sinefield, hear Slough. Their father formerly kept a large school in the vicinity of Windsor. his unfortunate daughters were educated ns governesses, but bang unable t o o b tain employ ment and their parents being unable to support them, they came to London to seek needlework, by which means they hoped to maintain themselves. They were unsuccessful, and their slender means becoming exhausted, they resolved, rather than be a burden to their parents, or to bring disgrace on their family by applying for reli e f, to starve together. They still re main in the M ary l e b one Infirmary, and object to take food. The condition of their apartment was perfectly cleanly, a n d i t has been asce rtained that the only drink they had for more than a fortnight was the drippings from the pipe from the roof of the house. face -- I:I W E e the substrucgttu°rne-, rr , Hin ENLARGEMENT OF SOMERSET HOUSE... -: The works for th e erection of a new w i n g to Somerset House, to carried up to the level of the road wa y , and an immense s t w r e h e i e t h S o i u s t o h ; a the r e g p r r e o a g t r e e s s t s i s n u g h v d e k r y y , hasrapidly; been amount of the most substantial scaffolding has been raised ;or the purpose of constructing the upper part of the build ing, which will have a handsome stone front, to be in keeping with the rest of the noble pile.

STEPNEY COLLEGE.-- SHERIDAN KNOWLES A BAPTIST.—On Wednesday aft.rnoon, the annual meeting of the friends and supporters of this institution was held in the College Chapel.

Dr. Innes, of Edinburgh, and who has since connected himself with the Baptist Church in Bloomsburv, of which the Rev. William Brock is pastor. It appeared also that Mr. Knowles had just com pleted the delivery of a course of lectures cn rhetoric, chiefly with a view to secure an easy and elegant style of delivery on the part of the students now training in this • institution. , get 13 9 ein the [lip ts 4- a let 1: ,pd be' rge of the Ipo gclo 000
