GENTLEMEN, BEG to return my sincere thanks to those nume rous friends who have, for the last seven years, supported me as the Representativ: of the County of Middlesex, and mare ciallv to those who, in addition to their votes, 11 ..V:oestowed so much of their valuable time on the details of t i :Je last election. That our efforts in the good cause shoe',d have been urAucttssful, is to he deplored ; still I feel confi''“ent that my defeat is not to be attributed to any re-action of public opinion, either general or local ; on the contrary, I lr.ve indubitable proof,'in the increased number of voters in my favour, that the Liberal cause is gaining ground in the county. Put, Gentlemen, our defeat is principally to be attributed to the 'indefatigable attention paid by the Tory party to the business of the Registration ; znd it the Liberal elec tors of Middlesex - .fish to recover the ground they have lost, they must imitate th", diligence of their opponents in that important matter.

" A o r s .Steve t n i.ng see has had the saga c ity t o d e t ect, an d t h e courage to ex p ose, eI ii errors. He has proved that the practice of withholding the means of relief until the cataract is ripe, keeping the sufferer for years deprived of sight, is not only absurd but dan gerous ; and that the used operations of couching and extraction are not only highly oliettionable, but may be dispensed with, and the patient relieved by his mild and efficacious operation at the very commencement of the disease."—New Monthly Magazine. This small, but truly valuable publication, affords satisfactory proofs that cataract is at length stripped of its terrors, and placed under complete centred by the simplified and eminently-successful treatment devised and matured by the genius and industry of Mr. Stevenson." —Monthly Magazine. " The operation gives the patient scarcely any pain, requires neither confinement nor applications, and leaves no mark or disfi gurement in the affected organ."—Court Magazine. " We have visited,' says Dr. Johnson, Mr. Stevenson's Insti tution, with other Medical Gentlemen, and have witnessed several most successful operations.' "-11,1eileo-Chirurgical Review. " We are persuaded the period is not far distant when the pre valence of this novel, scientific, and eminently-successful method of removing cataract will become universal."—Metropolitan Magazine.

The petition was presented by a Mr. Alfred Power, a lay Fellow of the College, and it prayed that the appointment of the R ev. Mr. W ors l ey to the office of Master of the College might be declared void, and that a new Master might be appointed in his place. The case made of the petition was, first, that according to the statutes of the College, Mr. Worsley, as a Clerical Fellow, could not be appointed to the office of Master, the statutes requiring that the office should be filled by a lay Fellow ; and secondly, that Mr. Worsley had never been duly elected a Fellow of the College at all. The VICE-CHANCELLOR delivered his opinion first. His Honour was clearly of opinion that the appointment of the Rev. Mr. Worsley as a Fellow and as Master were perfectly valid, and that **objections raised in the course of the ar gument to these appointments could have no force until the buildings of the College were completed, according to the original scheme approved of by the Crown. The MASTER of the ROLLS concurred fully in the opi nion delivered by the Vice-Chancellor. The LORD CHANCELLOR had not the slightest hesitation in adopting the opinion of his Learned Colleague, although he had at first entertained some doubt as to the appoint ment of Mr. Worsley to the office of Lay Fellow in 18:24. His Lordship concluded by observing that he bad called for the assistance of the Learned Judges in this matter because the appointment of a new Master, in the event of Mr. Worsley's election being bad, would devolve on the Crown, and in a matter of so much importance he was unwilling to rely solely on his own opinion. The petition was, therefore, dismissed ; but his Lordship ordered that the costs of all parties should come out of the College funds. IN RE FRANKS, A LUNATIC. This matter was argued a few days a g o, the questio n being wh e th er th e w id ow o f t h e lunatic sh ould forego her claim to jointure. His LORDSHIP said that the consent of a wife during co. verture could not bind her to any abandonment of her legal right arising out of her marriage settlement. It was said that she had elected to take a sum in lieu of jointure ; but she could not be free to elect until, by the termination of the marriage, she became a free agent. His Lordship, therefore, declared Mrs. Franks entitled to the jointure and arrears. INATCPIBULL V. rEARNHEAD. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment in this case, affirming the decree made at the Rolls, and overruling the exceptions to the Master's report. IN RE CHAMBERS, A BANKRUPT. Mr. ANDERDON appeared for a petition presented in this matter by two of the creditors who were opposed to the ar rangement made with the bankrupt. The object of the petition was to vary an order made by his Lordship on the 26th of July last, which order was for the payment of 2,0001. out of 10,0001., which the majority of the credi tors had consented to pay to Mr. Chambers and his family. The LORD CHANCELLOR saw no reason for such an ap plication being made now. After some discussion his Lordship gave Mr. Anderdon leave to mention the matter on Tuesday. The LORD CHANCELLOR, at his rising, observed that the business of the Court was now much reduced. When the Court sat again it was his intention to dispose of the appeals entered , in the meantime, and then to make ar rangements for the despatch of other matters of pressing importance. ROLLS' COURT—Auarn' 11. NYAS V. THE NORTIIERN AND EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. This was a bill filed for the specific performance of a contract entered into with the plaintiff for the purchase of twenty-two houses which intersected the proposed line of the railway. The bill also prayed the payment into Court of the sum alleged to be agreed upon as the purchase money. After hearing Counsel at considerable length, his Lord ship, the Masus, of the Rous, would give the order he intended to make to the Registrar as early as he could next week. His Lordship then proceeded with petitions, which occu pied his attention till seven o'clock, when he rose for the holidays. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT.—CzornoN, Au. H. DROWN V. HUDSON AND HUDSON.-SINGULAR CASE. The plaintiff is a merchant in Great St. Helen's, an d i n 1833, he had a freight which he had purchased for th e African trade. He wanted a supercargo to dispose of it, and he advertised accordingly, and the junior defendant answered it.. An interview took place, and the elder de fendant (his father) joined him in a bond of 2,000/., that he should do certain things connected with the freightage at places particularised, and at prices marked down, ono express direction being that he should commence bis mer chandise at the island of Goree. As if fully bent to run counter to his orders at the outset he refused to touch at Goree, and commanded the Captain of the vessel, the Susannah Ann, of London, to steer on to Gambia and the St. Mary's River. When he arrived at that destination, instead of exposing his goods for sale to the natives, he went on shore and pursued field sports sometimes, and at others sports with the " fair damsels" of Africa ; indeed, so indis creet was he, that on one occasion he narrowly escap©d the scalping-knife, and the native who rescued him was re warded with rum and other articles, the property of the plaintiff. While the Susannah Ann was in the river before named a declaration of war by reprisal was issued by the Governor of St. Mary's against a native Prince called Tama Yang, and no vessel was allowed to proceed up the river beyond Macartney Island, without special leave of the Governor. This leave, which might have been ob tained at the expense of two or three dollars, was not ap. plied for, and the vessel lay at anchor for three weeks, with its crew, a native pilot, and four extra hands on board, which created a great expense to the plaintiff, and, what was worse, either from the intemperance—which was con sequent upon indolence from the climate, or some other cause, two of the seamen died. During all this time the supercargo had made only a few trifling sales, and the worst part of the business remained to be detailed. Young Hudson met with an English adventurer of the name of Pitman, and to that person he sold his remaining goods, the prices of the articles being agreed upon for 1,0664 and a fraction, for which he received a piece of paper, called a bill, on London, which piece of waste paper was made payable at six days after sight ; and the conse sequence was that Mr. Brown lost almost everything by his venture. Hence it was that he felt called upon to bring this action upon the bond, which had been signed by father and son. A great number of prolix depositions were read, which had been sworn to before Baron Gurney by the captain of the vessel and others. The defence was that he should not have taken Pitman's bill but for the interposition of a gentleman known to the ppiintiff, who said he would guarantee it for 1 per cent. he deposition of this gentleman, although in Court, was not called for by either part), which excited a good deal of surprise. Counsel having addressed the Jury, his Lordship summed up, after which the Jury retired, and on their re turn delivered a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 1,2651. Os. 4d. _MIDLAND CIRCUIT:L - 6;lm, Ara. L. Although there are several eases of more than ordinary atrocity to be tried at these Assizes, which commenced on Monday, none of much interest was heard until to-day. The bigamy cases, of which th ere are many a l rea d y disposed of, possessed nothing calculated to excite attention, the de fendants in most instances being acquitted. VIOLATION OP AN INFANT.--Willianl Polls, of Prest bury, a navigator, was charged with a brutal and criminal assault on the person of Elizabeth Cooper, a child between four and five years old. The evidence is altogether unfit for publication, but sufficient may be gathered from the speech of the Attorney-General, which was borne out by the subsequent testimony of the witnesses. On the 24th June last the horrid offence was perpetrated and the unfor tunate victim subjected to the most dreadful brutalities. Evidence of the commission of the atrocious deed was but too well authenticated from an examination of the person of tke criminal, as well as that of the miserable child, which was in a shocki ng con di t i on . D uring the recital of the re volting details th e w h o l e au di tory were affected at the sick ening disclosure, but tho p r i soner preserved a brutish apathy from the beginning of the trial till his removal from the dock after he had been found guilty, and the Judge, Mr. Baron GURNEY, pronounced sentence of death without the slight est hope of reprieve. AUGUST 8. THE LATE MURDER NEAR N ANTWICH.—John Steel and Benjamin Webb were indicted for the wilful murder of Boswell Meredith. On the 18th ult., Mr. Boswell Meredith, a respectable aged farmer, residing near Nantwich, was called out of bed by a man who stated that some of Mr. Meredith's cows ; ba4 wandered into a potatoe field, and were doing damage. The old man immediately tone, not suspecting any evil design, and went out of his house into line edjolning, where he was brutally attacked by three men, and received injuries from which he died three days afterwards. Circumstances sOati afterwards arose attaching suspicion to two brothers of the name of Steel, who resided near the Potteries, but whose father lived near Meredith's house. A communication was forthwith made to Isaac Cottrill, a county police Officer at Newcastle, who issued bills describing the persons of Johe said George Steel, la bourers, and offering a reward of two hundred pounds on their apprehension and conviction. After considerable ex ertions to discover the suspected murderers, but without success, George Steel, unable to suffer the pangs of a guilty conscience any longer, went to Nantwich, sphere he surren dered himself into the hands of justice, making a full con fession of his participation in the bloody deed, and impli cating his brother John and a man named Benjamin Webb in the same offence. The two last-named men were im mediately apprehended in the Potteries. The confession made by George Steel was to the following effect :—That he and his brother, with Webb, committed the murder. At an adjourned inquest held at Nantwich on last Thurs day week, before Mr. Faithful Thomas, Coroner, the three prisoners were committed to Chester Castle on a charge of wilful murder. The two Steels are, one about 38, and the other about 23 years of age, both unmarried men. Webb is married, and has a wife and three children. His age is about 23 years. After the ATTORNEY-GENERAL had stated the case, the Jury, greatly to the surprise of every one, returned a verdict of Guilty of Manslaughter, and the Judge ordered them to be transported for life. 'We believe the jury found their verdict on the presumption that robbery, no murder, was the object of the prisoners. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. HANSION-HOUSE. An elderly man, named John Wood, who keeps the stuffed bird shop, No. 161, Fenchurch-street, was sum moned before the LORD MAYOR for poor-rates to the amount of 11. 10s. The defendant, who was stated to be the genuine child of adversity, did not appear to answer to the demand, as he was afr a id to m i ss, b y l eav i ng h i s place of b us i ness, theim portant chance of a few ponce, bat sent his friend, Mr. Shillcock, to mention how impossible it was for hire to assist his brother in poverty. Mr. Newman, one of the principal parochial o ffi cers of St. Dionus Backchurch, stated to his Lordship that the sum mons had been issued to the defendant in compliance with the new Poor Law Act, which required that certain pro ceedings should be adopted for the recovery of the rates. The case of the defendant was known to be one of an ex treme kind, and the officers did not in consequence con template the enforcedent of the demand. There are, how ever, many other persons in the parish who, although well able, refused to pay, becauie those who are unable are not compelled. The instance before his Lordship was one of , an affecting nature. Mr. H o bl er sa id i t appeare d to h i m that M r. W oo d re quired the assistance of his neighbours, for, in the endea vour to support appearances, the poor man actually denied himself the necessaries of life, and he bore the marks of starvation about him. The passion for stuffed birds and for polished shells was on the decline, and the defendant thought a shilling a complete God send. The beadle knew perfectly well that Mr. Wood would not hesitate to discharge the amount if it were possible for him to do so. It was stated by some gentlemen who were in the Justice Room that th e d e f en d an t h a d b een f or y ears s t rugg li ng with adversity. His shop was the parallel of the celebrated Mantuan apothecary's, and , his skin seemed to want the stuffing of a few good meals as much as that of the owner of that famous repository. The LORD MAYOR—I am convinced that, in the bands of th e p ar i s h officers, the poor man will not be urged to contribute to the support of those whose meals, he trusted, were, through the humanity of the authorities, less liable to fluctuation. Mr. Wood was, we understand, a highly respectable gro cer in the City some years ago, and carried on an extensive business, which declined upon the death of his wife, and at last, in consequence of unforeseen calamities, dropped to nothing. Mr. Newman—We shall take care that no measures shall be adopted against Mr. Wood, whom indeed it is our anxious desire to serve. He has seen a most melancholy reverse of fortune, and the effort to bear up against adver sity evidently costs him a great deal. The beadle said that the gentleman who appeared to ex cuse the defendant had also experienced the inconstancy of fortune. Some years ago he carried on business in the tea line, in Phi!pot-lane, and having put together 3001. by his industrious exertions, ventured to take the next house. That house having required repairs, the mason and carpen ter were set to work, and a debt of 6001. was soon con tracted. The improvement in the premises unfortunately produced no improvement in the trade ; on the contrary, tea became an unprofitable article, and the concern soon became the property of others. The two poor men, who were friends in brighter days, still endeavoured to reconcile to each other, by acts of mutual kindness, the sharp combat with poverty which they were doomed to fight as they ad vanced in years. Several parishioners who were known to the officers to be well able to pay the rates were ordered to contribute their proportion within a given time, the LORD MAYOR having refused to listen to any excuse except that of un doubted distress. A man named Hyde was brought up, charged with having stolen a new mat, which appeared to hate been torn from its fastening on the floor of some doorway. Mr. Whithatn, the principal superintendent of police, saw the prisoner moving along with the mat on his shoulder until be reached Cutler-street—the great mart for goods obtained in a questionable way. The moment the prisoner entered the market the Jews gathered round him to bid for the article. One of them, however, knew the superinten dent, who followed in plain clothes, and gave the wink to the other clothesmen, and they all, to the great surprise of the prisoner, turned away from him when he put up the article for examination. " Come," said he, "my lads, this is a regular good un ; it never seed more than a couple of days' dust. What do you say for it ?" The Jews shrugged up their shoulders and said, " No, no, we never deals in such goods. You had better take it to the good people you got it of, my good man." " D—n it, an't it better than any dozen 1 ever sold to you before ? What the h—ll's the matter with you ?". cried the prisoner. " Oh, s'elp me G—d I wouldn't touch sich a thing for the world," said one of the fraternity. " You'd better take it away—it an't fit for this place." " No," said another, "it don't look like an honest mat, s'elp me G—d." " Why, let me have half a-crown for it, at any lite," said the prisoner. " Not a farthing," cried all the Jcwr, in the most indignant manner, "ye consider you ought to be kirered with shame for bringing sich a consarn among honest dealers. " D—n it, then take it for sixpence," roared out the prisoner, throwing down the mat and looking round, while the superintendent caught his eye and his arm at the same time. The prisoner —Please you, my Lord, I bought it of a man I sea in the streets for a tanner, and I took it to Cutler street, because I always sells my goods there. The Loan MAYoi—And I suppose to these very men who refused to buy upon this occasion. Prisoner—The vary same. The LORD MAron—You have lately come out of prison. said I took it. Prisoner—Y es , t h ere was a mistake about a ham, and they The Lon l ;MaYoa—There seems to be a mistake about the mat likewise. Prisoner—l wish I had my sixpence back again. The policeman into whose custody the prisoner was given said that the mat must have cost 18s. or 205., and had evi dently been dragged by force from some hall. The prisoner was remanded. JIA.RLBOROUGH-STREET. The adjourned case of Bonzer the chimney-sweep, sum moned by the Master Chimney-Sweeper's Society, for im proper usage to his apprentice, which stood over for the production of the boy, came on before Mr. Chambers and Mr.llyer. . - The boy was brought forward, very well dressed, with his face shining, as if French polished. Mr. CHAMBERS put some questions to him, and the an swers were very satisfactory. Mr. CHAMBERS—The boy certainly appears to have been pretty well treated, but I should like to know the rea son why the Magistrates of Marylebone-office refused to bind him to this man. Defendant—lt vos only von on 'em, and that ere vos Mister Shutt. The Magistrate said these ere werry words, " I vont bind that ere young boy not by no means, vithout you brings for'ad two substantial housekeepers who'll swear plump blank at the boy's father is bis father." Mr. CPAMBERS—I never heard of such a request before. You must have made some mistake. Complainant—The Magistrate told the defendant to bring two housekeepers to be answerable for his good behaviour towards the boy. Defendant—Th ere ' s no ca ll f or no b ody to answer for my good behaviour. I behaves myielf as a perfect gentloma iti etery pint. Here, Bill (to an acquaintarce), you've go the gift of the gab, speak a good vord to his Vorship, as you nose how. The person thus addressed presented his sooty isage before the bench, and spoke as follows : This here's nuffin but a bit of spite, as your vership, vots a gentleman, must plainly see. Lookee here, aint the boy got his belly viii stuffed vith holesome vvittles, and aint his back kivered all over vith handsome clothes ? Now I ax all on you, as gentlemen, vot call can th e S oc i ety ' s w i s i ters have to " pull" a man in sitch a case. Mr. CHAMBERS—What have you to do with the busi ness ? Witness—'Cause the defendant's my brother, and I'm his'n. I climbed nine months on a stretch for him. I climbed two year for Mister Wallace, and from the time I served my 'prenticeship till the time I changed my profes sion there arn't no blemish agin my character. Mr. CHAMBERS—You look as if you had just come down a chimney. Witness—That's 'cause I'v been helping to fill the soil cart, but I gets my living in a deal more re spectable line. Mr. CMAMBERS—What do you do ? Witness—Ever since I've cut the soot work I've stuck to the coaling and dusting line. The Magistrates, after some consultation, dismissed the case, with a suitable caution to the defendant. WOOLWICH PETTY SESSIONS. THE RIVALS..-4 swarthy, round-shouldered little wo man, named Mary M'Pherson, with a snub nose, ferret eyes, and whose toes, turning inward, might not inappro priately be said to form a " Council of Ten," applied to the Magistrates for a warrant against one Carolina Archer, the latter having not only broken the peace and committed sundry assaults, but had absolutely done something worse. —(Laughter.) Sir THOMAS WiLsoN—lndeed. And what else has she done ? What do you mean by " something worse ?" —" Ah, Sir," said Mary M'Pherson, turning up her eyes, "she nearly diskivered me from my husband."—(Laughter.) Sir THOMAS—Dissevered, I suppose you mean ; but go on.—" Thank ye honor. Awed thin—me own lawful begotten husband was a Greenwich pensioner, and I mar ried oot of puir luve, as I'm stan'in afore ye—and sac we set up a barber's shop close by Caroline's shop, which is a barber's shop too—(Laughter)—and gie such offence that she threatened my own life!" Sir THOMAS—lndeed ! Pray, how did she do that ? She said she'd do for me, Sir.—(Laughter.) Sir THOMAS—WeII, and kind of her too. You mean that Mrs. Archer threatened " to provide for you ?" Exactly so, my Lord ; she said she'd stick a knife in my ribs, and hae the life of me ! _ Sir THOMAS—And what did you do to provoke her to all this ?—Only, me Lord, I said that she was ugly, and dis agreeable, and dirty, and needn't try to set her cap at my husband.—(Laughter.) A MAGISTRATE—Why, pray how old is your husband? Only seventy-two, Sir.—(Laughter.) Sir THOMAS—Then, I must tell you that it is highly disgraceful that you cannot live without so much brawling , the fact is remarkable, that the majority of individuals in assault cases arc barbers and shoemakers.—(Laughter.) Go home, my good woman, and the constable shall remon strate with this Mrs. Carolina Archer. Mrs. M•Pherson—( With a hyena sort of cry)—Thank'ee, Sir ; I wouldn't a cared if she hadn't tried to part me and my husband. CORONER'S INQUEST. Yesterday evening an inquiry, which lasted several hours, and did not terminate until late at night, took place in the Board-room of Islington workhouse, before Mr. Stirling and a most respectable jury, on ♦iew of the body of Benjamin Broadway, aged 18, a parish apprentice, whose death was occasioned by starvation and the ill-treatment of his master, under circumstances of the most heart-rending and unpa ralleled atrocity. The case has already been before the public. On the 14th of July application was made by some of the relatives of the deceased to the parish officers of Islington, by whom the unfortunate youth was apprenticed out, representing that his (deceased's) master, a Mr. William Smith, opti cian, of Monyer-street, Hoxton, had shut him up in a room, kept him without food, aid otherwise ill-treated him. The result of the application was, that Messrs. Ashley and Chadwick, the overseers of the parish, went to Smith's house, and there found the wretched lad in the most deplo rable state of starvation and filth. Subsequently, on the case being brought before the Hatton-garden magistrates, a warrant was procured for the master's apprehension ; but before such could be served he absconded. The deceased was removed to Islington workhouse, where he continued until his death. . The jury, being sworn, proceeded to the most painful part of their duty—that of viewing the body of the de ceased. It presented a most appalling and affecting specta cle, being reduced to a mere skeleton. Every person pre sent was deeply affected at the shocking sight. On the return of the jury to the inquest room the fol lowing evidence was adduced touching the dreadful oc currence : Mr. Robert Harrington, assistant to Mr. Brooks, sur geon, of No. 1, Regent-place, City-road, deposed that, on the 14th of last July, two gentlemen connected with paro chial affairs of Islington, called upon him, and requested his attendance upon the deceased. Witness went to a house in Monyer-street, Horton, and there found the deceased laying on the floor of a back room. He was in a most de plorable state of emaciation and filth, and perfectly insensi ble. Witness applied stimulants, and in a short time the poor lad partly recovered his senses. He ate what was given him in the most voracious manner. Witness never saw a hungry dog take any food more voraciously. His (deceased's) person was frightfully emaciated. He was in so weakly a condition that he could scarcely masticate the food that was given him. Witness advised his immediate removal to the workhouse. By the Jury—l consider that the deceased's death was caused by starvation and general neglect. I did not ob serve marks of external violence on his person. I have seen the body of the deceased since his death, and when I first saw "him he was nearly as emaciated as the corpse at present presents. By the Coroner—The deceased complained to me that he had been starved and ill-used by his master, and that he was worked from early in the morning until late at night. The house where I was called to see the deceased by Messrs. Ashley and Chadwick appeared to me to be a mi serable habitation. I did not see the boy's master. His (Smith's) wife and child were the only persons in the house. Mr. Robert Semple, parish surgeon of Islington, de posed that he attended upon the deceased on his being brought to the workhouse in the parish chair. Witness was greatly shocked at the appearance of the unfortunate lad. He was in a state of frightful emaciation, and filthy in the extreme. His intellects appeared to be greatly im paired by the miseries he had undergone. He (deceased) was suffering from a low, debilitated fever, brought on un doubtedly from the want of the common necessaries of life. Witness had the person of the wretched youth thoroughly cleansed, and warm clean clothing put on him. He had wine, broth, sago, arrow-row, and every other kind of nourishing article, all of which he ate greedily. For the first fortnight after his being brought to the house his system slightly rallied, but subsequently he sank rapidly, and died on the previous day. Witness was decidedly of . opinion that the lad's death vas caused from the want of the common necessaries of life. By the Coroner—The deceased complained to me of being cruelly ill-used, and kept without food by his master for days together. The constitution of the lad was too far broken by the usage he had received for the care and nou rishing articles afforded him at the workhouse being of any service to him. Mr. John Ashley, one of the overseers of Islington pa rish, deposed that on the 14th of last month a married sis ter of the deceased's applied to him and Mr. Chadwick, the other overseer, for their interference en behalf of her brother, whom she represented as laying in an insensible and dying state at his (deceased's) master's, in conse quence of starvation and ill-usage. In consequence of such application witness and Mr. Chadwick went to Smith's house, and there found the wretched youth in the situa tion described by Mr. Harrington, the first witness. A warrant was subsequently obtained at Hatton garden against Smith, but he fled from his residence, and, not withstanding a reward of 201. was offered by the parish for his apprehension, he has not been heard of since. By the Jury—The deceased was apprenticed to Smith about three' years back, at which time he (Smith) was living in Britannia-row, Islington, and was in a good way of business as an optician. A premium of 31. was given to Smith at the time of binding the deceased. In answer to an inquiry made by the Coroner, Mr. Ashley said that Smith was not distressed in circumstances. Messrs. Chadwick arid Luckett, other officers of the pa- SACKING OF BADAJOZ. (From Mr. Maxwell's New Novel, The Bivouac.) When our division entered the town, all opposition VAS at an end ; for the French, fearing that a dreadful retalia tion would ensue, precipitately abandoned the city, and secured themselves in Fort Christoval until they effected a capitulation, and were permitted to retire to Elves. In the morning I obtained a few hours' repose, notwithstanding the deafening yells of the excited soldiery and their inces sant discharge of musketry, as they went firing through the streets, or blew open the doors of the wine-houses, and indeed of all other dwellings, which were vainly closed against them. I had seen the breaches in all their horrors ; I had again crossed them in daylight, and I turned my steps towards the castle and bastion of San Vincent, to view the places where my more fortunate comrades had forced their way. It was nearly dusk, and the few hours while I slept lied made a frightful change in the condition and temper of the soldiery. In the morning they were obedient to their officers, and preserved the semblance of subordination ; now they were in a state of furious intoxication, discipline was for gotten, and the splendid troops of yesterday had become a fierce and sanguinary rabble, dead to every touch of human feeling, and filled with every demoniac passion that can bru talize the man. The town was in horrible confusion, and on every side frightful tokens of military license met the eye. One street, as I approaehed the castle, was almost choked up with broken furniture ; for the houses had been gutted from the cellar to the garret, the partitions torn down, and even the beds ripped and scattered to the winds, in the hope that gold migliY be found Concealed; A convent at the end of the strada of St. John was in flames ; and I saw more than one wretched nun in the arms of a drunken soldier. Further on the confusion seemed greater. Brandy and wine ct:sks were rolled out before the stores ; some were full, some half drunk, but more staved in mere wantonness, and the liquo.-s running through the kennel. Many a har rowing scream saluted the ear of the passer-by ; many a female supplication was heard in vain asking for mercy. How could it be otho,rwise, when it is remembered that twenty thousand furious aod licentious madmen were loosed upon an immense population, among whom many of the loveliest women upon earth might be found ? All within that devoted city was at the disposal of an infuriated army, over whom, for the time, control was lost, aided by an in famous collection of camp followers, who were, if possible, more sanguinary and pitiless even than those who survived flee storm. It is useless to dwell upon a scene from which the heart revolts. I verily believe that few females in this beautiful town were saved that night from insult. The noblest and the beggar, the nun and the wife and daughter of the artisan, youth and age, all were involved in general ruin. None were respected, and few consequently escaped. The madness of those desperate brigands was variously exhibited ; some fired through doors and windows, others at the church bells ; many at the wretched inhabitants, as they fled into the streets to escape the bayonets of the savages who were demolishing their property within doors ; while some wretches, as if blood had not flowed in sufficient torrents already, shot from the windows their own compa nions as they staggered on below. What chances had the miserable inhabitants of escaping death, when more than one officer perished by the btt.ilete and bayonets of the very men whom a few hours before h,.! had led to the assault. As evening advanced the st:eets became more danger l ous ; and, after I had examined the spot from which the escalade of the castle had been effected, 1 !letermined to leave the fortress by the first sallyport, and return for the night to our half-deserted camp ; for every one N 7ho could frame an excuse had flocked into the luckless town for plunder, and the tents were in many places left withomi an occupant. Having been for a week quartered in the city after the last year's siege, I fancied that I could find my way to the flying bridge ; but the attempt was not an easy one. A swarm of drunken rioters infested the road ; and at last I resolved to leave the more frequented streets, and endeavour to free myself from this infernal scene of tumult and villany by a safer but more devious path. I turned down an unfrequented lane. I remembered that a lamp before an image of the Virgin had formerly burned at the corner, but of course it had been unattended to dur ing the horrors of the past night. Not fifty paces from the entrance a dead man lay upon his face. _ I looked at the body carelessly ; life was scarcely extinct, for the blood was oozing from an imiiiense wound in the *back ; and, as the jacket was still smoking, the musket of the assassin had probably been touching the wretched man when the mur derer discharged it. It was the corpse of a dragoon : he, of course had stolen into the toviD for plunder, and the un- happy delinquent paid a deep pena!ty for his crime. He held a loaded pistol in his hand : I vorenched it from his grasp with difficulty, for even in death iot clutched it. I was now better armed, and I hurried down the lane, in the direction of the sallyport. One of the Aldermen of Bath under the reformed regime signed the requisition asking Sir Francis Burdett to offer himself for North Wilts, and gave a plumper for Methuen! The requisition pledged those who signed it to give their votes and use their influence in favour of Sir Francis ; but this part of the business, we conclude, the impartial Alderman overlooked.—Bath Chronicle. SIERRA LEONE.—It must be with mingled feel ings of pride and deep regret, that a Briton looks on this celebrated colony for the first time. Of pride, for here is countrymen have set a bright and glorious example to the rest of the world, in founding a settlement having for its ob jects the civilization of a benighted land, and a free dis charge for the living cargoes of vessels engaged in the i nta ,2ous and inhuman slave-trade.

TURTLE.--The best way to send home Wait: from Ascension, is " to head them up" in a sealed cask, and have the water changed daily by the bunghole and a cock. Turtle, though the extremes of heat and cold are equally injurious to them, should always arrive in hot weather in England. Thus, an unfortunate captain, on one occasion, took from Ascension two hundred turtle ; and timing his arrival badly, brought only four alive to Bristol I—Alexan der's Colonies of Ireslern Africa. THE BALLOT.--011 Monday a number of the trades of Edinburgh walked in procession through some of the principal streets, accompanied by several bands of music, and carrying about fifty banners and flags, inscribed " In favour of household suffrage and vote by ballot." They met at three o'clock in front of the High School, where they were marshalled in order, from whence they marched round the Regent Terrace and Blenheim Place, to Leith Walk, where they were joined by several of the Leith Trades. They then moved up Leith Walk and Leith. street, along Prince's-street, Lothian Road, to Burntsfield Links, where hustings were erected, from which the meet ing was addressed by Messrs. Gunn, Fraser, Reid, and others, in favour of the two measures above mentioned, without which they described themselves. as utter slaves. A series of resolutions, expressive of their views, were put and carried. Dr. John Taylor of Glasgow then addressed the meeting, in explanation of his late equivocal conduct at Glasgow, which he attempted to justify by saying he would never have proposed standing for Glasgow, had he not been importuned to do so by some of Lord William Bentinck's Committee ; but on being asked to name them, he refused to do so. He at the same time admitted having got money from a Tory "to show up the tricks of the Wings;" and he ascribed the late defeats of Messrs. Hume, Roebuck, and Bowring, to the secret efforts of the Whigs against Hume. Such is a specimen of the absurdities sported by this political charlatan, who, however, we were glad to see, was in no great repute among the crowd. The procession having marched, by a different route, back to the High School, the trades dispersed, and the proceedings closed with a soiree in the Waterloo Rooms.—Scotsman.
