E SUFI L ON D O N, ASYLUM FOR DISCHARGED ISLAND OF HARRIS. (From a Correspondent of the Inverness Courier.) On a fine day in the end of July, last year, the writer of this loft home in a boat, accompanied by three of a crew, to proceed to Lochmaddy, about twelve miles dis tant. After passing the island of llermitray, our course lay along the bold and rocky headlands of Leachd-leese, in North Uist, which chiefly consist of gneiss, argilla ceous schist, and numerous veins of trap. These rocks are of great height, rising nearly perpendicular, and but for their almost unapproachable nature, would afford no small attractions to the geological student. To ornithologists they are likewise very interest ing, as they arc visited annually by great numbers of sea-fowl, for the purpose of incubation ; and the different species, according to their various habits, select pieces of projecting rock whereon to build their nests. The varieties which for the most part frequent these headlands are, the gull, the puffin, the guillemot, and the cormorant; and even the lordly eagle deigns to associate with these, choosing always the most precipitous and inaccessible ledges of rock which the coast presents. On arriving at a place called the Miorbhuil, i. e. " the miracle," we espied the nest of an eagle resting on one of these ledges. As it contained two eaglets, we at once determined on their capture, if possible. After surveying the precipice, and looking in vain for any other mode of approach to the nest than by a descent from the top, a young lad of the name of Peter Ross agreed to try it. This settled, we set about getting out the boat's anchor and cable, for the purpose of carrying them to the summit of the rock. After an hour's labour we gained the de sired point. We next selected the best spot whereon to fix the anchor, which done, we swung the cable down the face of the rock. To ensure greater safety, a long rope was tied round Ross's body, and uncoiled as he descended by the iron cable. Having divested himself of his coat, neckcloth, and shoes, and provided a knife, in case of being attacked by the old eagles (which were soaring above), and with some cord for the purpose of i tying the eaglets, should he succeed in capturing them, be prepared to descend. This was no easy task, and it took him a full quarter of an hour to accomplish it. The parent eagles continued to utter the most piercing and discordant screams, as they beheld him suspended in mid-air opposite their nest, and high above the loud roar of the ocean. The length of the cable, which measured twenty-two fathoms, only enabled Ross to reach within a foot of the nest; and just as he had done so, one of the eaglets hopped away to an adjacent ledge of rock beyond his reach, and the other was in the act of following when it received a kick which sent it tumbling down the rock into the sea. One of the old eagles immediately flew to its rescue, and with its talons dragged the young bird from the sea, and placed it safely on a portion of low accessible rock, which we soon made for, and secured our prize, which turned out to be the male bird. It was of an immense size, nearly full grown, and of the species called the white-tailed sea eagle. Although the nest, when viewed from below, appeared as scarcely presenting a single foot of surface, k was fully four feet square, and contained about a stone of wool and rags, with a goat's head, a lot of bones, and some half-consumed fishes—memorials of the rapacity of these destructive birds. We next turned our course for L ch maddy, where the eaglet was given to an English gentle man who had come on a, tour in the excise steamer: he signified his intention to carry it with kim to Lincoln shire. WINDSOR ELECTION. WINDSOR, SATURDAY EVENING.—The election of a Member of Parliament for this borough, in consequence of Mr. Neville having vacated his seat by accepting the office of one of the Lords of the Treasury, took place this day, at the Town-hall at eleven o'cl ck. No oppo sition to the Honourable Member's re election having been anticipated, although it was fully expected that a gentleman would have been put in nomination for the purpose of addressing the electors on the subject of the corn-laws, there was very little excitement on the sub ject. Mr. Neville having secured the support of a large and influential section of the Liberal portion of the con stituency, in consequence of his having become the chairman of the Windsor and Staines Atmospheric Railway Company, and having also secured the support of many of his former friends, any opposition to his re turn, at this election, was considered to be totally use- less. Shortly before eleven o'clock, Mr. Neville, accom panied by the chairman and members of his committee, and a large party of the Liberal electors, entered the Town-hall, and took their seats on the bench, Mr. Thomas Adams, the mayor, and some of the members of the corporation, having previously arrived, Among those eleetors who accompanied Mr. Neville to the hustings were Captain Bulkeley, Mr. William Jennings, Mr. W. Legh (one of the magistrates for the borough), Mr. Alderman Banister, Mr. Alderman Saowden, Mr. Clode, Mr. John Clode, jun., Mr. Darvill, Mr. H. Adams, Mr. Burridge, Major Wathen, Mr. C. S. Voules, Mr. Martin, Mr. John Lawrence, the Rev. Mr. Canning (one of the canons of Windsor), Mr. Hol derness, the Rev. Mr. Pope, Mr. Bovingdon, Mr. Long, and several large shareholders in the Atmospheric Rail way Company. The hour of eleven having arrived, The Mayon rose and said—Gentlemen and fellow. townsmen—We are here assembled in consequence of my having received a precept from the High-sheriff of the county of Berks to elect a Member of Parliament for the Borough of New Windsor. It forms no part of my duty to speak of your late Member, Mr. Neville, who has accepted the office of a Lord of the Treasury, and who will, no doubt, as he is a candidate for re-election, address you himself. I have only to express a hope that every gentleman who has occasion to address you during the proceedings will receive from you the same attention you have been pleased to give to me. The Sheriff's precept having been read by Mr. Seeker, the town-clerk, the oaths taken by the Mayor, the Act against bribery read, and the usual formalities gone through, Captain BULKELEY, of the Ist Life Guards, rose to propose Ralph Neville, Esq., of Cavendish-square, as a fit and proper person to represent the borough in Parlia ment. The gallant captain commenced by observing— It is now nearly five years ago since it fell to my lot to propose Mr. Neville as a fit person to fill that situation, to which he, a second time, aspires. I then laboured under the disadvantage of recommending to your suffrages an unknown man, but I felt sure, that if you then returned him to Parliament, he would not fail to carry out your wishes. The case is now, however, very materially altered, for you have now the power to decide whether the votes he has given, since he has been in Parliament are in accordance with your wishes or not. — (Hear, hear.) Our object in returning Mr. Neville in 1841 was to aid in placing Sir Robert Peel in office, and turning out Lord Melbourne and the Whigs.—(Cheers.) Since that period Mr. Neville had given to Sir Robert Peel his steady and constant support.—(A cry of " Yes, and got 1,2001. a year for it.") In 1841, when Sir Robert Peel took office, the annual expenditure of the country exceeded the revenue by three millions of money. In 1842 Sir Robert Peel proposed his new measures—the property-tax and the tariff, and every thing since has gone on prosperously. By the Ministry taking off the duties from the raw material, the workmen of this country will be enabled successfully to compete with foreigners—(Hear)—for even now, we are abso lutely sending out of the country more silks to France than France is sending to us. Then with reference to foreign cattle—look at the price of meat, and you will find the farmers are now getting better prices for their cattle than before the new tariff was introduced. I have heard it stated that the borough is so much under the influence of the Crown, that a protectionist, from that cirumstance, would, just now, stand no chance of being returned. Now what was the fact in 1841, with refer ence to the presumed influence of the Crown? Why, in that year we returned Mr. Neville, in spite of the oppo sition of the Crown and the Government.—(Cheers.) I trust you will show your desire to support the Govern ment of Sir R. Peel, by your returning Mr. Neville to Parliament.— (The Gallant Captain resumed his seat amidst loud cheers.) Mr. WILLIAM JENNINGS, the chairman of Mr. Ne ville's Committee, in seconding the nomination of their late Member, expressed his entire satisfaction at his past conduct, and considered that the electors of Windsor owed a debt of gratitude to Mr. Neville for fighting the Conservative haul) in 1841. He had, ever since he had been their representative, exerted himself to the utmost of his power and ability to support the advantages and improve the prosperity of the borough. He had, in fact, brought certain parties together around him as his friends, by whom he had formerly been most strongly opposed.--(A voice, " Aye, the railroad has done that," and laughter.) Mr. Neville, like themselves, had a high stake in the country, and that was a guarantee that he would ever support the con titution of the country, and also give his support to those measures which would ad vance the prosperity of the borough and the community at Large. After a short pause, no other candidate having been proposed, Mr. NEVILLE rose and said—Mr. Mayor and gentle men, the last time I had the honour of addressing you, it was for the purpose of returning you my sincere thanks for your having thus conferred upon me the highest honour it was possible for me to receive—the honour of my being elected to represent the borough of New Windsor in Parliament. When you sent me to the Commons House of Parliament ; I went there unfettered by any pledge to be dictated to as to whether I should vote for or against this question, or for or against ano 'her. I was left perfectly free and unshackled to vote in that way which I honestly considered in my heart to be Tight.—(Cheers.) I had then, I confess, but very ittle experience in public affairs. (Hear, hear.) When 1 took my seat in the House of Commons, lament ible were the accounts of the distress which prevailed in many parts of the country, and especially in the manufac turing- districts. The workmen of the town of Paisley, for instance, were in so reduced a state as to be dependent upon public charity for support. The high prohibitory duties which were in existence when the present Govern ment came into power had been gradually and mode rately reduced, and with great success as regarded the trade and commerce of the country.—(Cheers.) Ia 1843 the Canadian Corn Bill was passed, and in 1844 a great reduction took place in wool ; and the Government are now about reducing the duties upon those articles which will materially tend to the benefit of the poor man.—(Hear.) At the end of three years the duties on corn e-ill cease.—(Cheers.) I will not now enter into a detail of all those measures, contemplated by the Minister, which have been so ably discussed in the House of Commons. It has been to me, however, a source of great gratification to find that no member of my con stituency have attempted any opposition to my return. —(A. voice, " The atmospheric.") After alluding to the recent victory achieved by the British troops in India, the Lion. Candidate proceeded : You formerly returned, as your representative for this borough, a nobleman, great as the gallant general, Sir Henry Hardinge, to whom I have referred. I allude to the late Marquis Wellesley, own brother to the Duke of Wellington. The Noble Marquis, at the period he was a candidate, asked you for your suffrages as a Lord of the 'Treasury. I ask the same ; but let me assure you that however high may be that honour, the honour of representing you in Parliament I consider far greater.—(Cheers.) Mr. Jennings has very kindly alluded to the interest I have taken in the affairs of the borough. All interests connected with the prosperity of the borough and its inhabitants, whether of high or low, shall always receive my support. I lately presented two petitions to the House of Commons (one from the corporation, the other from the inhabitants) in favour of the Windsor and Staines Atmospheric Railway, of which company lam chairman. Whether as the chairman of the company, or as the representative of the town, it will be my earnest endeavour to carry out the objects of those petitions, feeling assured that the railway in question will prove to the advantage and benefit of the borough.—(Loud cheers.) I sincerely thank you for the very kind manner in which you have listened to me, and I trust that for many years to come I shall enjoy the confidence of the electors of Windsor. —(Loud cheers greeted Mr. Neville at the close of his address.) No other candidate having been proposed, after wait ing a quarter of an hour, The MAYOR declared Ralph Neville, Esq., to be duly elected. Mr. NEVILLE, having briefly expressed his acknow ledgments for the honour conferred upon him, proposed a vote of thanks to the Mayor, which was seconded by Captain BULKELEY, and carried. Mr. ADAMS; the mayor, then caused immense laughter throughout the hall, by rising and saying, " Gentlemen, I have to return you my best thanks for the honour you have conferred upon me by drinking my good health." The worthy chief magistrate, however, as soon as the laughter had subsided, corrected himself by observing, "I am so unaccustomed to public speaking, and my l i i re i nu l r t rieie h n h d as been so often drunk in small parties, that I was along with one now. However, I have paTreame.X best thanks for the compliment you After three cheers had been given for " Neville," and " the Queen," the meeting broke up, and Mr. Neville was escorted t o hi s committee-room by, his friends. Leaving Lochninddy next day on our return to Harris, with our boat towed behind the steamer, we sailed close enough to the scene of our late exploit, at the Miorbhud, to see the remaining eaglet still perched on the spot where it was left. had time permitted, we intended again to atiempt its capture ; but as some of the party on board, preferred calling to see the monastery at Rodel, we steamed it on, and had not proceeded far when a rather amuiing incident occurred. We were all on deck, admiring the rugged scenery which meets the eye along that part of the coast. where " Low-brow'd rocks hang ncdding o'er the deep," When a round hole, right through a rocky precipice, with a sandy plain behind, attracted our attention. Sorge of the party said it.was no hole, but rather a large white stone, which had probably been dashed up aganst the rocks by the violence of the waves ; whilst others thought differently. The captain had recourse to his spy-glass, and gave it as his opinion that it was nothing else than a white stone. One of the party, who held a different opinion, made a wager of 20/. that he was right. The captain, after a second application of the glass, staked his vessel against that sum. T►;e course of the vessel was instantly altered, and, on nearing the rock, there, indeed, was to be seen one of Nature's freaks—a hola quite through. Well, the " Dum buck" was lost ; the captain consoling himself by saying that lie had, at all events, the satisfaction of propel• " ocular demonstra tion" of his error. On arriving at Rodel, we debarked, and went up to the monastery, which we were kindly permitted to view, under the guidance of a person from the establish meat of the much respected factor on the estate. The monastery, dedicated to St. Clement, is a very ancient structure, and is supposed to have been founded by David 1., in the eleventh century. The walls still substantial, and it is altogether of tolerable archi tecture, "and presents," says Dr. Maculioch, "some pecn• liarities in sculpture which are well worth the notic.:,of • an antiquary, and, from their analogy to certain allu sions in oriental worship, objects of much curiosity." Measures were taken, about two years ae,o, to keep these " sculptured curiosities" in as good a state of preserva tion as possible. After an hour or two spent in visiting this interesting place, and admit ing the tJenutifnl glen of Rode), wNi its thriving plantation, overlooked by the neighbouring picturesque heigh.ts, we embarked again, much pleased with the visit, aad departed for Stornoway. IRISH PRODUCE. As the alleged scarcity of pro\ isions in Ireland, and the necessary consequent inconvenience arising to the immense mass of the inhabitants of the sister kingdom, continue to occupy an important position in the councils of the Legis lature and the consideration of the public generally ; with a view to the adoption of the best means for its partial allevia tion, an enroneration of the list of the principal imeortatiees of provisions which have taken place within the pact week, in continnetion of that previously given in our columns a few days sin ce , may prove of utility and interest. On Wednes day, t a le 4th inst., four vessels arrived in the river Thames fro _a various other eorts, having on board, collectively, 2,772 `,,,ackages of bacon, 675 of pork, 300 of beef, 1,015 of butter, 884 of lard, 41 hampers of hams, 530 barrels and 450 quarters of oats, 161 barrels of porter, 55 packages of whisky, 393 of eggs, 142 of other descriptions of provisions, and 77 pigs, in addition to a quantity of malt, paper, leather, and various other articles. On the following day, the imports into the port of London, front the same quarter, consisted of 509 packages of butter, 1,062 packages of bacon, 424 of lard, 47 of pork, 700 quarters of oats, a quantity of hams, several packages of potatoes, and various other articles. On Friday, 1,225 packages of oats, 93 of hams, 61 of eggs, 33 of butter, 70 of bacon, 67 of malt, 51 of beef, 122 packages of porter, a quantity of siirits, linens, and other articles the produce of the Irish soil. At the same period, the imports into Bristol from Ireland consisted of, he addition to a quantity of linens, whisky, and other articles, 299 packages of bacon, a quantity of lard, seed, farina, 300 packages of butter, 61 of feathers, 214 bnehels of oats, 37 sacks of barley, and several packages of pork, oatmeal, wheat, pollard, and malt. The following is the list of provisions imported into the port of Liverpool front the Irish ports for the past week, being from the 27th tilt. to the sth inst. exclusive :-2,718 firkins, 138 half 'firkins, 453 casks, and 120 boxes of butter; 2625 barrels and 317 sacks of wheat ; 4,698 sacks of flour; 34 barrels and 150 bags of oats; 22 sacks of barley; 530 sacks, 115 other packages, and 120 barrels of oatmeal ; 250 bags of meal ; 3 barrels, 25 tierces, and 52 hhds. of hams ; 497 barrels of bacon ; 9 8 bags of feathers; 27 casks, 26 firkins, and 1,147 kegs 01 lard; 488 sacks of farina; 501 boxes and tierces and 10 bar rels of linens and cottons; 309 barrels, 5 tierces, and 12 kegs of pork; 15 barrels of tongues; 13 barrels and 6 kegs of other descriptions of provisions ; 392 sacks of malt ; and 39 civics of whisky. Finally, the following articles were imported into the port of London at the commencement of the present week, viz., 435 packages of pork, 153 packages of butter, 684 of bacon, 68 of hams, 5 of tongues, 34 of porter, and 59 of eggs, in addition to a quantity of linens and other articles, the whole being the production of the Irish soil. It will be for those most competent to form an opinion of and most tn• wrested in the matter to judge of the inferences deducible from the enumerations of the importations of provisions 'which have taken place in the course of a single week front Ireland for consumption in this country, viz., the capabilities of the country for the production of food of every description for the supply of its numerous inhabitants; and, in the second place, as to how they can be spared for extraneous purposes at a time when so much distress and want is stated to exist in that kingdom. This is not the place to enter into et further particular consideration of the matter, otherwise it would he worth while to suppose the immense quantity of provisions which must be contained in so many large pack ages, aild to draw a conclusion as to the amount of relief which the salutary distribution and disposal of them through proper channels in their native country would afford. lisTaEssiNo CASE. _.W are requested to give in oertion to the following particulars, in the hope that the pub lication of them may be the means of unravelling the mystery which at present hangs over the affair to which this relates : " On the 19th of December, 1843, a deaf and dumb man was found at or near Ostend, and has been detained ever since under the care of the Ablk Carton, director of the Institute for the Deaf and Dumb, at Bruges, by whom the following particulars have been drawn up with a view t o t h e disco very' of this unfortunate persons country or place of resi dence. lie appears to be about 35 or 40 years of age ; has received no kind of instruction; is marked with the small pox ; has a mark on the ball of the left eye ; is of the middle height; is thin, and of a sallow complexion. The Abbe Carton, after the most patient investigation, has come to the conclusion that this man is of either English or Irish extraction, and adduces the following reasons as the ground of his belief:—He has elicited from the deaf and dumb man that the roads in his country are macadamised ; that the public carriages are drawn by four horses; and that travellers is the prefer the outside to the inside places. The Catholic the religion professed in his parish. The Abbe explains that there are two systems of manual alphabet in use for the deaf and dumb. One of them, which is employed in all countries but England, is formed with one hand only ; while the other, which produces the letters by means of both hands, is peeuliar to Englan d, whence he concludes that the subject of this inquiry is either English or Irish. There is but one church in his parish, which belongs to the Catholic persuasion. All the houses are low, and covered with reeds and clay. His father was a weaver, and died three or four years ago ; lie is buried in a church-yard in which is a tombstone with an inscription traced by himself. His mother was still alive at the time of his departure; he had an elder brother, shoe maker by trade, and two younger sisters, who were both deaf and dumb. There was a gentleman's house in his parish, which was inhabited by a lady of the Roman Catholic religion, to whom he was well known. There was likewise a mountain, it was near the sea, and there was a railroad in the neighbourhood. He re lates that he left home without the knowledge of his rela tions, that he embarked in a vessel laden with oak bark, and was at sea about a year. He is unable to give any satisfac tory account of his landing in Belgium, but the Abbe Carton conjecture s that he came across in some of the steamers, and made his way to the Downs near Ostend, where he was found." The general belief in the political clubs is that the measures of the Government, for the immediate reduction and eventual abolition of the duty on foreign corn, will be carried in the House of Lords by a majority of from 25 to 30.

He begged to assure the vestry that the parishes in the metropolis generally were very eager to take up this matter ; and he was instructed by the authorities of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields to say, that they were quite prepared to join in the matter.—(Hear.) The CHAIRMAN read a letter which had been received from the parish of Kensington offering their co-opera tion also. Mr. HERBERT would just show bow this Bill affected the public. He had been before these referees, who got ' 3,000/. for doing nothing. Under the old Act the fees in case of dispute only amounted to three guineas. Under the new Act the fees of these officers were at first 61. 17s. 10d., and out of that sum, although he (Mr. Herbert) was right and the surveyor wrong, the surveyor had two guinea fees handed to him out of his (Mr. Herbert's) pocket.—(Shame.) They then came upon him for five guineas for extra building, and his law costs were Rl., making in the whole 201. Another infamy was that the clauses were retrospective, and they were going to inflict an injury on the poorer classes by compelling a re-construction of all under-ground build ings, whilst that which was really wanted—a better sewerage was neglected.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. JOSEPH viewed this matter as purely a builder's question, and if the vestry took it up he should call their attention to Sir James Graham's Medical Bill.— (Laughter, and cries of " Tha tis a doctor's question.") After some further discussion it was resolved to give the committee power to co• operate forthwith with other parishes on the subject, and to petition Parliament in the name of the vestry on the Bill. The vestry than separated. PRISONERS. A public meeting —, e;aS — lieldCuTiSaturday st Willis's Rooms, King-street, St. James's, " for the purpose of considering of an appeal to Parliament to carry out the humane object of establishing national houses of occu pation and shelter for persons discharged from cus tody." The meeting was fixed to take place at two o'clock, but for a considerable period after that hour there were not more than a dozen persons in the room. Mr. Sheriff LAURIE having taken the chair, the se cretary said he had received several letters of apology from gentlemen who were unable to attend. The CHAIRMAN then addressed the meeting. He said it was really deplorable the state of persons discharged from prisons. He found, by documents he held in his hand, that there was 20,0001. a year paid for a model prison, but it failed to effect any good object. In fact, he knew of nothing that existed calculated to meet the crying evil the suppres s i on o f cr i me comm itt e d by persons discharged from prison, who had no place of refuge. He understood th a t th e G overnmen t was will ing to listen to any useful s ugges ti on th a t w ould remedy the • evil. He had h ear d it argue d th a t p rov idi n g l a bour for criminals would interfere with honest men's means ; but he would ask, would it not be better to give cri minals employment outside than pay for their mainte ance in a prison ? There was a benevolent Christian in Manchester, a Mr. Wright, who ought to have a monument erected to his memory; that gen tleman had actually reclaimed ninety-six of what he called the gaol population, and only four of them had returned to crime. Now, if an individual could do that, he would ask why should not the State do so? He for one would say it was their duty to do so, and ho trusted that no effort would be left untried to effect so desirable an object. He was glad to see pre sent at the meeting so high a dignitary of the Church as the Lord Bishop of London, and the Noble Lord (Lord Kinnaird). He would now conclude and give place to the Right Rev. Prelate who would move the first resolution. THE CELEBRATED LADY DRUM MUIR—BATTLE OF CULLODEN. (From the Ross-shire Advertiser.) Although our venerable friend John Maclean, the In verness chronicler of the olden time, is now in his 100th year, still his memory is as vivid and powerful as ever ; and notwithstanding his furnishing this and the In verness newspapers, for the last four years, with his say ings and doings of the days of yore, his store of which seems still to abound, and from which we this week present our readers with two interesting anecdotes of the illustrious Lady Duff of Drummuir of 1745, of whom old John says a more worthy and patriotic lady never lived in the Highlands, and none who delighted more in the performing of benevolent and charitable acts, of which lasting momentoes are still to be seen in Inverness. John continues by saying that her humane and Chris tian conduct in the memorable years of 1715-16 and 1745-46, particularly the latter years, when many of the Gael s hardy sons were chased through hill and dale by Cumberland's unmerciful troopers, and not in a few places the silent but blooming heath stained with their blood, Lady Drummuir's conduct in these trying times was the theme of praise throughout Great Britain by Jacobites and rigid Presbyterians, and by Whigs and Tories. Old John adds, that this worthy lady kindly entertained the Pretender in 1715, and it was with her in 1745 that Prince Charles resided, from whose drawing room window he several times exhibited himself by bowing to the wishful and anxious multitude, who, on every occasion, hailed his comely form with the greatest enthusiasm and applause, especially the females. It was under this roof too he resided on the 15th April, 1746, the night before his final defeat on Culloden Moor. Little did be then think that ere the next day's sun had set down to rest, his deadly foe, the Duke of Cumberland, would be sumptuously faring at the ever-hospitable table of Lady Duff of Drummuir—but fate destined it so. The Duke, how ever, suspecting that her ladyship did not much relish the company of her Saxon lodgers, especially the hilarity with which he and a few of his principal officers indulged in respecting that ',day's victory on Culloden Moor, made him somewhat rudely accost her thus :—" I consider, madam, your conduct to be highly condemnable, for giving countenance and shelter to that Pretender who has so much disturbed the peace and happiness of these kingdoms-" To this she indignantly and fearlessly replied—" It is true, Duke, I sheltered him on more than one occasion, and not later than last night, toe, whore his bed was soft and warm, but ah I fear to night it will be hard and cold. However, since you are under my roof, I will endeavour to accommodate your Royal Highness to the best of my power. You are now the third Prince who has been in my house, and that, in times of contention and bloodshed, but I hope I may not live to see the day of being vis ited b y a fourth on such an occasion." On this Cumber l a nd and his crew, notwithstanding his deadly enmity . to the unfortunate Charles Stuart, could not help admiring the unflinching and determined reply of this heroine. Old John often thinks how visible the hand of Providence was to be seen in the overthrow of Prince Charles ; for when he sent a goodly number of spies to view and report the position of the Duke of Cumberland's army at Nairn on the night previous to the battle, who, on their arrival there, found that the English troops were mostly all drunk, and some of whom were lying benumbed with- the cold, outside their camp—this was in consequence of that day being the birth-day of his Royal Highness. At this time less than one-half of the rebel army in the neighbour hood could easily have massacred every one of them. Next morning the sun shone brilliantly with a fine westerly wind, which was looked upon by many of the rebels as no bad omen. However, such hopes proved to be but fleeting ; for shortly after commencing their march to meet the foe, the fimament became dark and cloudy, and totally eclipsed the sun and its effulgent rays, and when almost in sight of the Saxon troops, the wind veered round to the north-east, accompanied by a heavy shower of sleet. All these untoward forebodings tended much to damp the spirits of the poor Highlanders ; yet, at the eleventh hour, they did not despair, but, after firing the first volley, in consequence of the strong wind blowing in their faces, the smoke from their muskets and sleet together, almost deprived them of their sight, so that they could not see but dimly the position of the enemy, thus giving a double advantage to the English of seeing their confused position. It was at this critical moment that many of the Highlanders threw down their muskets and rushed forward with claymore. At this time it was told many more were immediately to follow, and were it not that the order for retreat was prematurely given, there is not a doubt, says John, as far as men could see, but the English would be put to the route. It was most remarkable, too, that had Prince Charles stood his ground for one minute longer he would have witnessed the English rapidly retreat, some of whom had their muskets actually in marching order, for never did they meet an enemy with less spirits to fight than on this occasion. However, when they saw the Highlanders retreat first, their spirits speedily enlivened—but in the pursuit the troopers were those who did most havoc amongst the rebels; still many of the troopers, in their eagerness for slaughter, who strayed too far in the fastnesses of our hills, never re turned to tell the tale—the peasantry who were fortunate enough to have a musket or other deadly weapon, think ing it no sin to take the life of a trooper. Old John says there were none more keenly pursued by the merciless troopers than the brave Mr. Macgillisray, of Dalcrombie. This gentleman was a captain in the rebel army, and no single arm committed such slaughter amongst the Sasanachs as he did that day on Culloden Moor—it was he who led the party of Highlanders that first rushed with their claymores in the face of their opponents ; consequently, his heroic achievements were specially noticed by the leaders of the royal army. After the retreat, he therefore was eagerly pursued, and was actually within sight of his own house ere th with the first trooperit his claymore or him, whom he instantly dispatched e ; but, in a f e w minutes after, three other troopers came up to him, whom he also quickly stretched at his feet upon the heath, which was dyed with their blood. At this cri ical moment nine more came up to him, and, notwithstanding the bran dishing of their sabres, two of them he likewise laid low, and were it not that his hand now got swollen in the hilt of his sword, it is said he would to a certainty have killed the whole; but being unable uny longer to wield his broadsword, his antagonists now fonnd it no difficult matter in taking the like of this bravo " Wallace " of 1746. Not being satisfied with his death, they took away all the silver buttons out of his coat—truly no honourable prize-money. Dalcrombie was the prettiest, handsomest, and strongest man of his day in the High lands, and might well be termed a second Wallace. Two days thereafter the Prince heard of his bravery and death and sold—" If all had stood my cause as Dalcrombie had dons ; , I would not have been a forlorn wanderer to-day." In old John's young days, a favourite song in the mouths of almost every one in the Highlands was " Dal crombie's Lament," which must have had a peculiar effect upon the feelings, as it was never recited without bringing tears from the eyes of the anxious listeners. How unlike was the character of Lady Drummuir to that of Lady Borlum of old, which we lately, from old John's budget, presented our readers with ; but like that lady, she would now and then parade the streets of Inverness in a gorgeous long silk robe, held up by a train-bearer, and her presence would be held with de light wherever she went—but that of Lady Borlum with her train-bearers, struck terror and dismay in the coun tenances of all. Lady Duff sent her train-bearer, honest John Grant, to London (afterwards better known by the soubriquet of " London Jock "), to learn the necessary politeness one in his important station would require. John made good his time in the great metropolis by attending balls and masquerades, also witnessing the bowings and scrapings in and about St. Stephen's walls. He then, imagining himself to be well formed in all the grades of good breeding and politeness of the day, consequently lost no time in returning home to the Highlands, to resume his service of henchman or train-bearer to her Ladyship of Brummuir, and truly Jock made no mean appearance as such, as he trudged behind her ladyship with his fine broad-skirted green coat, richly embroidered with gold lace, fine y e llow vest and breeches, large polished brass buckles in his shoes, cocked hat edged with gold lace, under which was sus pended over his shoulders, a long powered queue. But, after all, Jock at times was not to be envied, on account of his having to stand so often to the gaze of the won dering " Clachnacudins," for her ladyship would never pass s pin or bodle without lifting it, which she would fix in her sleeve, at the same time saying to her trusty servant, Weel, John, anythingcostume, aoe:ea nd of Jock thatpraye t might Prayer, ha s b placee p of os fromuse. behind,sheye ken a pin a-day is just a groat a-year." But this by n o means arose f rom an y na r ro w- m indedness on her part, b u t mere l y t h at s h e wou ld suff e r no W a ste of thes t hiu Andhi which onh regularly s onn car ted a bag hung from her g arm, containing from 2s. f - ,o 'n 41. copper, which she would distribute amongst the , 00r who then, and for years after, sat upon crepit sto o l s el pen the street, near the gateway to the High Church, a nxiously waiting the • pittance of' the benevolent passers b. v. The memory of the good Lady Duff of Drum ver live in the capital of the Highlands, and it is worthy o f remark that the gallantgentleman ra , w represents the ancient family I r tr, reply imbued with the spirit of his ustrious ancestor, 14 it is only a few years since h n of 1,0001. to the Society foregave the princely done- I(tis Iwledge in conne • Propagating Chri,tian connexion with the Church of England. polong the several ch ar iti es Lad Dr ummuir l eft D in The Bishop of LONDON then proposed the first re solution. In doing so he said he thought that a great deal of credit was duo to Mr. Sheriff Laurie, for the exertions ho had made in the cause of humanity. This was a subject in which he (the Bishop) took a deep in terest, as did also the clergy generally ; but the nature of their avocations did not enable them to take a very active part in it. He had long been impressed with the necessity of providing for those poor creatures, who, when discharged from prison, had no place of refuge whatever. He had no doubt but that Government would take this subject in hand; but even if they did not, he felt confident that charitable individuals would be found to so so themselves. But it was the duty of the Govern ment to do it, and the consideration of the expense should not weigh for a moment, because it would be better to expend large sums in the reclamation of criminals, than in keeping up large prisons at an enormous expense to the country. There could be no doubt that for years back the effect of the penal sentences upon prisoners had had any but a useful result, for the convict invariably came out infected with the moral pestilence of the society of the gaol. Ho had attended at the Pentonville Prison, and he had the satisfaction of being able to say that the result of the system there enforced had been attended with the best possible results ; and the same observations applied to the Parkhurst Juvenile Prison. But it would be most de sirable to have some institution for the refuge of persons who had committed but one offence, and who, when discharged, might easily be reclaimed if taken up in time ; but he did not mean to say that those who had offended more than once should not also have a friendly hand held out to save them from ultimate destruction. fie would also be desirous to see a similar institution for the reception of people discharged from hospitals, but not sufficiently recovered to return to their labour. 'With these observations he would readily proposet he first re solution. Mr. MONCKTON MILNES, M.P. seconded the resolu tion. He should have long taken an interest in this subject, but had been repelled from taking an active public part in it by reason of what he had heretofore considered the many difficulties by which it was sur rounded. But he would not now throw cold water upon the benevolent exertions of Mr. Sheriff Laurie by men tioning them, but whatever they were, every member of Society should lend his aid to remove the difficulties and remedy the evil. lie had heard of very useful institu tions in Boston, and other parts of America, for the reoamation of discharged criminals, and their results had been most successful, for very many unfortunate creatures had been rescued in time from the fearful abyss of crime into which many had fallen in this country, for want of similar institutions. He would contend for it, that the prevention of crime, rather than its punishment, should be the first object of every state, and, therefore, the state should not hesitate to establish such institutions as would eff ct that sacred and excellent object ; and he had no doubt but the Legislature, of which he was a member, would take up this subject warmly, and nothing should be wanting upon his part to aid the object by every means in his power. Lord lirs.stainu moved the next resolution. He said he found he had been left very little to rctuark upon, by reason of the observations made by previous speakers. There was one point on which he would make an observation, namely, the source from which the funds were to be derived for this object. He was proud to say, as an Englishman, that it only required to show the English public the usefulness and necessity of a great public work to induce them to come forwa - rd rea dily and liberally with aid to carry it out. His Lord ship concluded by stating an instance that had come under his own observation of a criminal who had been reformed, and who now kept a school. The resolution suggest( d that the Government should provide the funds for the support of the institution. Mr. Alderman SIDNEY seconded the resolution. He said he greatly deplored the state of contamination to which prisoners were subjected by the present sys tem of prison discipline. He then read some statistical tables to show the decrease of crime in places where prisoners were taken up and put in places where they were reformed. Mr. D. W. WIRE, Under Sheriff, proposed the next resolution, which was to the effect that a committee should he formed to carry out the object of the meeting. Sir DE LACY EVANS, M.P., said this was a subject on which he had acquired no information, and therefore it would be idle for him to make any observation upon it. But it had his entire concurrence, and he was very glad to see it taken up by the City authorities. Mr. B. B. CADDELL proposed a resolution to the effect that subscriptions be entered into to defray the expenses of printing, advertising, &c. Mr. JAMES ANDERTON seconded the resolution, and spoke of the necessity that existed for making provision for the ventilation of the houses of the poor. A vote of thaliks was then passed to Mr. sheriff Laurie, and the meeting separated. TIIE NEW METROPOLITAN BUILDINGS ACT. On Saturday, at the meeting of the Marylehone Ves try (the Rev. Dr. Spry in the chair), Mr. iiitcrioLay pursuant to notice, brought this very important subject under the consideration of the vestry. He said the yes try were probably aware that a new Act, called the Metropolitan Buildings Act, came into operation about twelve months since. During the progress of that Bill through the House, it was found to contain so many ex traordinary, unjust, and oppressive clauses, that even Sir James Graham expressed his opinion that such an Act could not long remain the law of the'land.—(Hear.) It had formerly been the boast of Englishmen " that every house was his castle;" but since that Bill had passed, they had found only the shadow left and the substance go ne . So oppressive were the clauses of this Act that an official surveyor could enter your house at any time, wit h a peace officer, upon the mere suspicion that you were having some alteration made in your premises. If: you desire the slightest alteration in a chimney, want is bell wire to pas through a party wall, or even an inch or two taken out of the brickwork to let in a kitchen-range, you dare not do it without giving notice to the diati ict surveyor, and in every instance the owner of the house had had to pay a fee.—(Shame.) Amongst the Other absurdities of this Bill was the fact that, whilst it compelled you to build with brickwork of the nac,st massive description, it would allow iron columns as supporters no thicker than mere laths. Indeed, no En an could alter his own house without giving not. - ice to the surveyor, under a penalty of fifty pounds, Sir James Graham, instead of bringing in th;,, Bill himself, had entrusted the matter to the r Ar .A of Lincoln, aad although suggestions were offered I,,yprac tical men, not one of those suggestions were incorporated in the Bill. There was another clause in the Bill w hi 6 compelled any person who should build a 'a-all forty feet long to build such wall four feet wio,e, and if the wall was eighty feet long then they were compelled to bui'id it eight feet wide.—(Laughter.) Could any one belie ve the Legislature would pass a measure containing s , e ( a mass of absurdities ?—(Hear, hear.) There was no ar a Bill introduced for au alteration of that part of ti e Bill relative to referees; and in this respect the law wto monstrous, for, whether right or wrong, the party wh was taken, in case of dispute with a surveyor, before t 1 ie referees had to pay all expenses.—(Shame.) This Bill, to which he (Mr. Nieholay) now referre 3, was called " A Bill to amend the Construction an d Use of Buildings in the Metropolis and its Neigh - bourhood," but it did not contain one won I on the subject.—(Laughter.) It was only regardiriA these referees, who, monstrous as it might appear, were allowed to act as surveyors themselves.—(Shame.) He (Mr. Nicholay) had asked Mr. Hume's advice on the matter, and he understood from that gentleman that Sir James Graham was about to introduce a new Bill, ari I had expressed his desire to receive information fro a practical men on the subject.—(Hear, hear.) He then fore begged to move " that a committee be appointed to co-operate with other parishes, and to petition Parlia ment upon the subject." The motion having been seconded by Mr. H. BIERS, Sir PETER LAURIE expressed his conviction that Sir James Graham had nothing to do with the matter, but that it was L or d C ann i ng , t h e present head of the Woods and Forests. Mr. BIERS said the Bill had already been introduced, B h :I d S IE beenL appo i ntedai d t e r e and the n ames on t h e b ack of it were S i r James Graham and Mr. M. S utton. M i c r h . o m m i t tee B i i x a i s n t d e n h c e e wh was on a thecommittee former thought the matter would be safe in their hands. Mr • BIERS said there was more wanted to be done than merely referring this important matter to a com mittee. Ho believed the object of Mr. Nicholay was that they should not only petition Parliament, bnt ap point a deputation forthwith to wait upon Sir James Graham.—(Hear, hear.) If they were going to wait until next Saturday, they might as well give up the mat ter altogether. He was glad to find that the public now began to feel the effects of this measure, for at first it was supposed it would only apply to builders. The great fault was in employing too large a staff, and use less officers, for which they bad to pay 3,0001. a year out of the county rate. As well as the referees, there MONDAY EVENING- MARCH 16, 1846. LA W INTELLIGENCE. ROLL'S COURT, March 14. GRAY V. THE LIVERPOOL RAILWAY. An injunction was obtained in this cause to restrain the Liverpool, Wigan, and Bolton Railway Company from constructing their railway over the plaintiff's land at Darcey Lever. At the time the railway Bill was passed, the Messrs. Darcey, who are owners of large cot ton mills and goits on water-courses, near Liverpool, opposed the railway company, and obtained the insertion of certain clauses in the Act, the effect of which were that the railway should not pass over the land of the plaintiffs, nor in manner to obstruct their works, with out first obtaining their consent, under a very heavy penalty. The defendants, however, in the face of these clauses, had taken possession of part of the plaintiff's land and intended to commence forming their line His LORDSEUP granted the injuction. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, March 14. IN RE GRAHAM, ADAMS, AND CO. This case came before the Court for the audit of accounts, as a preliminary proceeding to the declaration of a dividend. A gentleman (Mr.Mackillop) from the office of Mr. Follett, the official assignee, exhibited the accounts to the Learned Commissioner. It will be remembered that the parties were warehousemen at the corner of Old Change, in Cheapside. Graham had, it appeared in consequence of railway speculations, committed suicide. Adams had surrendered, and had passed his examination, and Macfarlane, the other partner, had not surrendered to the fiat. The credit accounts showed a favourable appearance. The debts of the estate were about 44,000 L ; there was a considerable stock given up, and book debts owing to the concern of about 11,000/. There had already been realised fur the creditors the sum of 16,0001., now in the hands of the official assignee, for the payment of a dividend, of which sum 8,0001. had been collected from debtors in the country, numbering some hundreds, on applications made by the official assignee. There was besides a quantity of railway " scrip," on which about 7001. had been paid, which it was expected would be made avail able for a second dividend. The audit was made, and a dividend of 7s. in the pound will be payable in a few days. A further divi dend is expected out of the railway scrip and other property. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—York, March 13. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.) John Webster and Aaron Shaw were charged with having, en the 23d of January, at Sandal Magna, violently assaulted Richard Haigh, and robbed him of 20s. and a half-crown. Mr. Hall and Mr. Stanhope were counsel for the prosecu tion •, the prisoners were undefended. The prosecutor is a farmer and maltster, residing near Bretton, and on Friday, the 23d of January, he attended Wakefield market. He left the Little Bull Inn about seven o'clock, and on reaching a place called Striker's-hill, about five miles and a quarter from Wakefield, he observed three men a short distance in advance of him. On coming up to the party, his horse was seized on each side by two of them, whilst their accomplice endeavoured to knock him off the animal, by inflicting several severe blows on the back part of his person. The prosecutor successfully resisted their intentions for a short time, and on finding he had no chance any longer to encounter them in that posi tion, he dismounted. in order that he might better enter into the contest. He was immediately surrounded by the three highwaymen, who were all armed with thick sticks, with which they beat him unmercifully, and eventually knocked him down. During the struggle a number of stabs were made at the prosecutor, but none of diem were attended with any serious consequences. - Whilst on the ground Mr. Haigh was robbed of his money, and at this juncture two neighbours came up, one of whom, named Stephenson, was knocked down, and his companion, pro bably thinking discretion the better part of valour, ran away. Mr. Stephenson pursued the party who had struck him, and coming up to the prosecutor he found Webster in custody of Mr. Haigh ; it then turned out that Webster, after having knocked Mr. Stephenson down, ran in the direction of the prosecutor, who instantly secured him. Mr. Ilaigh and his friend next took Webster prisoner to the Beaumont Arms, at Bretton, where he acknowledged that he was the person that had robbed Mr. Ilaigh, and produced the whole of the money, amongst which was a half-crown which the prosecutor had had in his possession for about fourteen years. On the place where the attack was made being subseqnently searched a loaded pistol, with a split cap on the nipple, a knife, and some sticks were found; and on examining Mr. Ilaigh's great coat upwards of a dozen incisions were found about the back and breast. Shaw was also captured the same night, and, on being taken to the same house where Webster was in custody, they affected total ignorance of each other. On the next day they were removed to the House of Correction at Wakefield, where it was discovered that Webster had a jacket, having the name " A. Shaw" marked on the sleeve lin,ng. It was then admitted that the prisoners had changed their jackets on Woolley Edge, previous to the robbery, at which time they agreed to rob the first person they met on horseback, but net to attack any one on foot. The jury . found the prisoners Guilty. In ordering sentence of death to be recorded against the prisoners, his Loupsuir observed that they bad each of them been convicted of an offence which still, by law, remained punishable with death. Howe ver, in their case, that punish ment would probably not be carried into effect, but they must prepare themselves for the next severe punishment, that of being banished from their native land for the re maining period of their lives. The Judge then ordered 51. to be paid to Mr. Haigh for the valour he displayed in re senting the attack upon him. Mr. Justice CoLERIDGE proceeded to pass sentence upon prisoners whose cases stood over for judgment. Amongst others were the following important cases : Isaac Martin, who had been found guilty of stealing wear ing apparel from his employers, Messrs. Levi, of Sheffield, was sentenced to 14 years' transportation ; and Jelin Martin, a brother of Isaac, convicted of receiving part of the same property, received the same sentence. James Taylor, a ser vant of the same firm, who was convicted of stealing other articles from his masters, was sentenced to 18 months' im prisonment. Thomas Sladding, aged 29, convicted of having, at Northowram, made a savage attack upon John Mitchell, feloniously cutting and wounding him, was sentenced to 15 years' transportation. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.-IVottinghain, March 13. CROWN COURT.—(Before Lord Chief Justice TINDAL.) Joseph Rollinson, aged 34, and William Longdon, aged 18, were arraigned for the wilful murder of Thomas Soar. Mr. Wildman appeared for the prosecution ; ME. Macaulay for Rollinson, and 11r. Wilmore for Longdon. On the 22d August last Rollinson was the engine- man at the Cinderhill Colliery, in the parish of Nuttall, and Long don his stoker and occasional assistant. The latter for the last three months had been permitted to draw up coals, and being a very attentive lad he had been allowed for the last two months to draw up the men. It was the engineer's duty never to let the engine go on without the signal, which was given by means of a bell, the handle of which was in the pit. If the bell rang once while the eottine was still, he was to set it in motion ; if it were going on # td stop it. These signals were perfectly well understood in the pit, and the enginemen had repeatedly received strict orders to attena to -them. When a man at the bottom put his foot oi", the case he was to cry " hold on," which words were to be rer:eated ,by the man at the top to the engineman. This was a. sort of Wa: 11 : ing to the engineman to be more than usually particular. anu nobody ought to get upon the cage, on any pretence wli.* ever, without shouting thoFe words. On the day in ques tion the deceased was employed in pushing off the empty waggons from the cage, and from the evidence of Amos Wardle it was necessary for him to put his foot on the cage. Wardle swore also that the deceased had shouted, but that was denied by a boy named Smith, who was at work close by, and the banksman, 1 - I.:nry Starr. The bell, however, was not rung, but the cage started up. When it had gone about four or five feet, the deceased was knocked off by the " brow" of the pit, fell against Wardle, knocking him backwards, and then dropped into a Bumph of water. He could not be got out for nearly a quarter of an hour, and then he was quite dead—drowned. The pit is 220 yards deep, and the wire to the bell was naked, and worked in staples. _ The prisoners were Acquitted. The Learned JUDGE said he thought the verdict a proper one, but he hoped this investigation would have the effect of making men, whether employed in this or any other pit, extremely careful. They could not be too particular, uor the laws too strict. March 14. (Before the Lord Chief Justice TINDAL.) MURDER.—William Horner, a butcher, aged 18, was placed at the bar charged with the wilful murder of Mary Ann Perkins, a prostitute, at the borough of Newark. The prisoner had been seen in company with the deceased a short time before she was drowned. The Counsel for the prisoner made a very elaborate speech in defence, after which The JUDGE summed up, and The jury, without leaving the box, Acquitted the pri soner. This terminated the criminal business in this Court. (Before Mr. Justice COLTMAN.) Maday Nell, alias Maday Barrowrliff, aged 16, was in dicted for unlawfully and maliciously stabbing William Haves, on the 12th of December last, at Kirkby-in-Ashfield, wits intent to maim, disfigure, or disable him, or to do him, the said William Haves, some grievous bodily harm. The jury returned a verdict of Gailty upon the last count of the indictment. To be imprisoned eighteen calendar months. There was not a single cause entered for trial at the assizes either for the town or county, a circumstance quite unprecedented within the recollection of the oldest person living. The assize business terminated at half-past four o'clock this (Saturday) afternoon. NORFOLK ClRCUlT.—Cambridge, March 14. The judges of assize arrived in this town at two o'clock yesterday, when the commission was opened, and attendance given by them at the University Church. Both the Courts were opened this morning at one o'clock, there being an entry of 9 causes, 4 of which are for trial by special juries, and a calendar containing the names of' 40 prisoners for the county, and 10 for the borough ; among the former are to be found 4 cases of arson, 2 of manslaughter, 2 of rape, 6 of sheep stealing, 2 of night poaching, 1 of burglary, and 2 cases of stabbing. The only case in the borough calendar is one of assault arising out of the recent " town and gown" rows, the prosecutor being Mr. Walsh, of Trinity College, the son of Sir John Walsh, and the defendant one of the pollee force of the town. Mr. Baron Parke has been engaged nearly all day in try ing two commonjury causes, one of which was referred, While the other involved matters of no moment to any one save the Indies concerned. CRCiNVIT COMlT.—(Before Mr. Justice itiAtILF..) Robert Bowted was indicted for stealing a 20/. Bank of England note from the person of the Rev. E. Wafters. nurcnam conducted the case for the prosecution, and from his statement, connected with the evidence of the pro secutor and others, it appeared that the note in question WAS lest, together with a pocket-book, from the pocket r,f the prosecutor, On the occsaion of the recent " town and gown . " rows. On that day the prosecutor deposited the note . in his , iocket-hook, at the bank of Messrs. Mortlock, ii b it u e t n t r e g r , ie n t e s aoubt, to place it in some to "a of security ; coming upon the " dons" rather au,44enly, fellow, president, he rushed from his college (Magdalene), of which he v.."

Mortlock, from w10,._ prosecutor had received this note, and not without effect, that establishm.ent bad not been opened many . minutes before I the prisoner, Trlia keeps the Boar's Head, in the market- commemoration of her goodness, was a substantial place, presented himself with the missing note, which he house to her faithful and trusty servant, London Jock. ( requested change for, stating that he had taken it in change on the previous night from Mr. Baker, a Member of Trinity College, or a gentleman who represented himself so to be. This account not being quite satisfactory, inquiries were made, and there being no such individual as " Baker, of Trinity," the prisoner was taken into custody on suspicion of having stolen the note. On his way to gaol, he called out to his wife, and told her not to forget to make his daughter all right as to her having brought him down 19). 10s. in change for the note on the night before. On the part of the prisoner, it was contended that there was no proof that the note had been stolen by any one at all, much less by the prisoner, whose conduct throughout had been that of a man who had given value for the note. As for there not being any " Mr. Baker, of Trinity," it was not to be wondered at, for it might very well be that the pocket book, being lost or stolen, had been changed by the prisoner for the thief or finder, who had assumed the garb of an under graduate, and thus put off upon the prisoner the property of the prosecutor. His Lordship having summed up the case to the jury, left it to them to say whether they thought the account given of his connexion with the note was the true one or no, The jury remained in consultation for nearly half an hour, when they returned a verdict of Guilty, and the pri soner was sentenced to nine mouths' imprisonment, with hard ,abour. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. James Boulter, ag;cltwenty, was brought up, charged with being an idle and disorderly person. Mr. Murdock, the master of the East London work house, stated that the prisoner had been an inmate of the ,house for many years. He had been discharged, with clothes and money, to seek work, but he constantly returned to the workhouse. On Monday he had been sent to a Mr. Solomons, who wanted a stout lad, and who offered him 6s. a week, to be increased to 12s. as he improved and became worth so much. The prisoner positively refused to take the place under half•a-crown a day. Mr. Mortlock said that persons who had been long in the workhouse, cared not whether they were in a workhouse or a prison ; they were, therefore, uncon trollable. Another lad had thrown up a place of 12s. a week, to come and live in the workhouse. Mr. Alderman CHALLIS said the judges were coming to the opinion that it was a mistake to think that impri sonment was a punishment to such reckless, unruly lads, and that a good sound whipping was more likely to pro duce a change in their conduct. A third conviction under the Vagrant Act left it to the option of a magis trate to send the offender to be tried at the quarter ses sions, when the magistrates might order corporal punish ment to be inflicted. He would now commit the pri soner for one month, after which he would be qualified for the whipping if he did not behave differently. MARY LEBOIVE. Sarah Wilks, a servant out of place, it appeared, took up her abode for the night at the lodging-house of Mrs. Lee, of 26, Henrietta-street, Manchester-square, when, after having had a sound sleep, she departed in the morning, apparently well satisfied with the cleanliness of the mistress of the establishment. Upon leaving the house she went straightway to a neighbouring pawn broker's, and offered in pledge a sheet, which the shrewd tradesman examined minutely, and found, to the utter consternation of the prisoner, these words marked in large characters in the centre, " Martha Lee—stop thief." The pawnbroker looked at the woman, and asked her some questions, the answers to which were so contradictory that he felt bound to follow the advice given by the author of the words on the sheet, and handed her over to the police. Mrs. Lee identified the property, and the prisoner, who said nothing in defence was committed. SOUTHWARK. Edward Elsbury, a fashionably-dressed young man, was brought before Mr. Traill for re-examination, charged with breaking into chambers occupied by Lord Burghley, St. John's College, Cambridge, and stealing upwards of 501. worth of property, consisting of diamond shirt studs, pins, and brooches, the property of his Lord ship. Lord Burghley, accompanied by the Hon. Frederick Montague, a fellow collegian, attended, and from the statement of the former, it appeared that on the morning of the 26th ult. he went from his rooms in the above college, about eleven o'clock, leaving the various articles of jewellery safe in his dressing-room. He returned about nine o'clock the same night, and then discovered that his rooms had been entered in his absence, and plundered of the whole of the jewellery, none of the books or any other description of property having been removed. A set of diamond studs was here produced, and his Lordship identified them as forming part of the articles of which he bad been plundered, under the cir cumstances just mentioned. He added that he had no know!edge whatever of the prisoner, never having seen him until he was placed at the bar of the Court. Inspector •Rogers briefly described the circumstances under which the prisoner's apprehension was effected, from which it appeared that on Tuesday last the pri soner walked into a pawnbroker's shop in Blackfriars road, and, producing a very splendid opal pin, wanted to pledge it. The shopman, suspecting that the article bad been stolen, detained the prisoner until the arrival of a policeman, into whose custody he was given, and when taken to the station-house, a pawnbroker's duplicate fur a valuable diamond pin was found wrapped up in a corner of his shirt. The pin in question was also pro duced, and identified by Lord Burghley as his property. Mr. TRAILL inquired if the prisoner was seen at Cam bridge about the period the robbery was committed? An inspector of the Cambridge Police stated that evi dence would`be forthcoming to prove that a young man, answering the prisoner's description in every particular, was seen leaving St. John's College between seven and eight o'clock on the 26th ult. On the former examination, the prisoner said he lived at Cambridge, and in accounting for the possession of the diamond pin he offered in pledge, and the duplicate of another article of jewellery, he said that he had pur chased them of a Mr. Roll, a silversmith, of Cambridge. Neither the latter gentleman, nor any of the prisoner's friends attended now, although he was strongly advised to communicate with them, particularly with Mr. Roll. in order that he might bear out the truth of his asser tion with respect to his having purchased the diamond pin of him. In reply to Mr. Traill, the inspector said the assizes commenced that day at Cambridge, and as that was the case, the magistrate said that the prisoner had better be taken down there immediately, the offence having been committed there, and that the necessary evidence to es tablish the charge could be produced at once before the grand jury. The prisoner, who made no remark, nor expressed any disappointment that his friends were not in at tendance, was then given into the custody of the Cam bridge inspector, who accordingly proceeded with him to the above place. LAMBETH. On Saturday Mr. Samuel Henry Powell, a gentleman residing at North Brixton, appeared before Mr. Norton to answer to an information laid against him under the 7 and 8 Vic., commonly called the Joint Stock Compa nies' Act, by Mr. White, a surveyor, residing at Missen den, in Buckinghamshire, for an alleged offence under that Act, by which he was liable to a penalty of 201. The plaintiff conducted his own case, and Mr. George Sn.:ith, of 24, Golden- square, attended on the part of Mr. v,, we j, and to watch the proceedings. I t .`appeared that the complainant, Mr. White. had been ena by the Messrs. Dempsey, surveyors of the G j un oion Great Western and South Western Rail way Junction :o survey a portion of the line, but they becoming embar;assed were unable to pay him 280/. due to him for the survey which he had made. The Messrs. Dempsey stated that they were unable to pay, in consequence of the coropany refusing to pay them the amount of their hill, which amounted to nearly 3,0001. Mr. White, finding that he ovoid not get his money, wrote to the clerk of the solicitors ; in which he threatened to call a public meeting of the credits of Nlessrs Demp sey, and hinted that such an exposure of the affairs of the company would not be very serviceable to t:le promoters of the project. The communication not producing any effect, Mr. White went to the Registry Office, Sergeant's Inn, Fleet-street, and there discovered such omissions in the registry of the company as induced him to adopt the present proceedings. Before doing so, however, he, as a ne cessary preliminary, obtained the sanction of the At torney-General, and he now sued in the name of that learned functionary. It was admitted on the part of the defendant that a prospectus put in had been printed by directions of the managing committee ; that it had not been registered ; that the name of Mr. George Smith had not been re gistered as its solicitor, nor had its place of business in Charlotte-place, Mansion-house, been registered. Mr. Smith denied that the complainant had any claim whatever on the company, as he bad never been em ployed by them ; and as to the Messrs. Dempsey, they had been paid from time to time 1,5001. for surveying the line, and, although they had undertaken to have the plans, &c., ready by the 30th of November, they failed in carrying out their contract, and the consequence was that the company were obliged to give up the project. Mr. Powell, the defendant, assured the magistrate that he himself, and the committee of management, had done everything in their power to satisfy every one who had a just claim on the late company, and the best proof that they had succeeded in their object was evidenced by the fact that, though Mr. White had thought proper to institute a similar proceeding at the Mansion-house, and though the proceedings there had been protracted from day to day, not a single individual was found to come forward to make a complaint. An irregular, lengthy, and somewhat pt'ssonal discussion followed, which Mr. Norton at length pui; an end to, declaring his opinion to be that the case was 01Ply proved against the defendant. He convicted him in tLp full penalty of 20/. and expenses. Mr. Smith gave notice of appeal against the decision. .CLERICAL PUNISHMENT IN THE MIDDLE AGES. —A curious discovery was made more than a cartury ago, during some excavations near the chapter-house, uljoining Thorn ton Abbey, Lincolnshire. It wa s first mentioned Thatt upuke ley, who visited the ruins in 1772. He says, " on taking down the old wall ther e, they found a to mahave n with been candlestick, table, and book , who was suppo sal immured." Tradition has always asserted thtt it was an ab bot who suffered this punishment. The skeletal am of a man thus immured was found some ye ars a g o at Coldingh Abbey. Another instance was recently discovered at lemple-Bruer, Lincolnshire.—The Builder.

It was then 29.156 (corrected per ter, perature), and it fell very gradually, by a small quale, each hour, so that at midnight it stood at 28.980. it b 1 wind was not high as yet. Towards the evening fresh, but nothing more. The subsequent occurrences ra. too important to be passed over with only a general noh and I therefore give them in a table :- 4th March.

I was toe much engaged in 4 e , g or having regard to the safety of the house to take p ar ''',l4 note of minute changes ; but I have reason to believe the storm at that time was near its maximum, One P liarity very much struck me. In general these hurrits:ol come in mere gusts of great waves. This one did es ; ( tpl but I never have known a storm in which the power gust was so persistent ; the pencil of the anemometer te, 11 40 ing at its full height for a very considerable space °I l ot The dynamic effects of the wind here have been quite to what the indications of the anemometer would pr ',d for.

The rope, attaching it to one of the stones, 1 s"to but the other stone, a block two feet square, and about in thickness, was torn from the earth, and tossed ten r t y from its place ! The magnetic house is levelled t ground ; but, what is most strange, its floor. consistb very heavy beams, has been driven some six yards ;it where it was. Fortunately, no instrument, excePt, 0 trifling damage to the anemometer, has suffered. ;::0 quite at a loss to account for this storm. It gave very ill 0 if any, premonition of its approach. I think it must t!,i4 been a storm •of translation, or a moving whirlwind of 19 radius, but of immense power. If that was its charactt osej same thing will be found to be the case as occurred c O l e last great gale, at all similar to this, when Professor Is informed me, that at the Royal Observatory at Greer the atmosphere underwent no commotion whatever. posing my conjecture accurate, I would expect verY intelligence from both coasts of Ireland ; from the t te coast of England, as far south as Liverpool, and fr0n.,1 4 10 north.
