J. WESTMACOTT, Gray's Inn, Plaintiff's Solicitor. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JUNE 12. HITCHCOCK V. WAY. Lard DEN lAN delivered the judgment of the Court in this case. This was an action by the indorse of a bill of exchange, which had been given to one Bevan for money lost at play. The defendant, who was the acceptor, pleaded that defence, and the plaintiff set up the statute 5 and 6 William IV., c. 41, as an answer. By this last mentioned statute the bill would not be absolutely void. The plaintiff contended that although the bill in this case had been given long before the passing of that statute, still the Court, when the bill was attempted to be enforced, must apply the provisions of that statute to it. The Court, however, found no retrospective words in that statute, which was, therefore, not applicable to this case. The rule which had been obtained for a nonsuit must, there fore, be absolute.

PHILADELPHIA, MAY 16.—The commercial hurricane which has for weeks been desolating the trade of this republic—has at length ended in an explosion that will involve all ranks alike in one common calamity—l will not say ruin—because I so well know the spirit and elasticity of the American people that I believe they will recover from the shock much sooner than strangers can possibly anticipate. In a word, specie payments are suspended at all the banks in the Atlantic cities ! WINDSOR, MONDAY NIGHT, TEN O'CLOCK. His Majesty is not so well as he was on Saturday and Sun day. He was much disturbed last night by cough ; and though in the early part of the day his convalescence did not seem to be materially retarded thereby, yet as the day advanced, symp toms of great exhaustion began to manifest themselves; and since seven o'clock this evening we understand his Majesty had been much worse than any time since Thursday last. We say we "understand," because there are some persons placed in a "little brief authority" at Court, who, like their predecessors in the last reign, are exerting themselves to keep the public in ignorance with respect to the health of the Sovereign. Some body it seems has said something about it which they did not approve, and therefore they are determined that nothing what ever shall be known, beyond what is contained in the blind bul letins issued under their auspices. It is now very doubtful whether or not the King's intended removal to Brighton will take place at present—for, although his Majesty desired it, and two of his physicians advised it, and arrangements were made for it by the household, yet Sir H. Halford is opposed to it, as a probable evil for an uncertain good; and his Majesty's restoration to health not having pro ceeded so progressively as was anticipated, it is not likely to be carried into effect at present. The two Princes of Hohenlohe, the Earl and Countess of MI thigh, and Lord and Lady Sheffield have left the Castle to• day. TA TTER SA L L' S—YEsrrnner. The settling for Ascot occupied nearly the whole of the afternoon, and prevented any regular business on future events. A few engagements were made on the Goodwood Cup, which boasts of an entry of considerable interest. Touchstone, it is reported, will go for it, as his last race, and two or three par ties, notwithstanding the weight (10st. 31b.), laid out a little yesterday at 4 to 1; Craven was backed at the same price, rather more than was offered against Carew ; no odds men tioned against Bay Middleton. Although very little has been done on the St. Leger betting presents two or three changes of some consequence. Cardinal Puff was backed at 9 to 2, Epirus (brother to Elis) at 8 to 1, and Mahometan at 12 to 1, while 9to 1 was offered against Henriade. Of course the usual inference is drawn. There must be a screw loose. The following were the following prices. This day NT as published, price 25. j‘ i. CATALOGUE of SECOND-HAND BOOKS, for 1837.

Last night an inquest was held in the Chapel of St. Martin's workhouse, before Mr. Higgs and a respectable jury, on view of the body of Mrs. Ann Davidson, aged 43, whose death was occasioned by excessive drinking. Verdict—" Died from the excessive use of ardent spirits." Yesterday afternoon an inquest was held before Mr. Higgs, on the body of Mr. Thomas Scott, aged 52, a watch maker, at his late residence, No. 20, Salisbury -street, Strand, who died from apoplexy, brought on by excessive intem perance. Verdict—" Died from apoplexy, brought on by ex cessive drinking." . We learn from good authority, that the health of the patient on whom Professor Lizars operated for subclavian aneurism, has never had an unfavouble symptom since the ope ration, and has as yet far exceeded the most sanguine expecta tions.—Scotsman. Gold and silver are no more, or nearly so ; and bits of paper of all possible amounts, from five cents. (twopence halfpenny English), up to several dollars each note, have taken their place. On Tuesday last a small institution in New York, called the Dry Dock Bank, could not meet the demands made upon it for specie, not in consequence of insolvency, but discounting beyond their means. They applied to the other banks to sustain them, which not being immediateiy done, they closed their doors. The other Banks then immedi ately paid in specie all the Dry Dock notes that were out. But the alarm had spread—panic became general —saute qui pent was the word—and a general rush for specie was made simultaneously upon all the banks in New York. There was no standing against so overwhelming a torrent. Great excitement prevailed, and the streets were crowded, but no acts of riot or violence occurred. Great distress being anticipated in this city, in conse quence of the work-people requiring money to go to market with on Saturday night, the City Councils met on Friday evening, and passed an ordinance, authorising the issue of certificates or script, to the amount of 130,000 dollars, in notes, from ten cents. (fivepence English) and upwards. That amount will be a mere drop in a bucket : they will probably extend it to a million, Accept a faithful copy— (10 cents.) LOAN OF MAY 11, 1837. (10 cents.) This is to certify that there is due to the bearer, from the Mayor, Aldermen, and Citizens of Philadelphia, the sum of ten cents., bearing interest at the rate of one per cent. per annum, payable May 12, 183 S, and being part of a loan of 130,000 dollars, authorised by an ordinance passed May 11, 1837. WM. STEVENSON, Assistant City Treasurer. Redeemable May 12, 1838. The above are taken with avidity by all but country people, who like nothing but hard money. The Pennsyl vania and Jersey farmers, particularly in the Jersey mar ket, v ow they will not receive paper upon any , terms—but they will be obliged. to do so. It is against the laws of Pennsylvania to issue bank notes rvithout an express charter for the purpose. The laws, however, are invaded by the incorporated companies, who follow the example of the City Corporation, and issue them in the form of script, certificates, or receipts. The city is becoming inundated with such paper, and the people receive it with confidence ; in fact, nothing can be safer. In many cases, butchers and others have is ;tied them, payable in meat, &c., by way of changing the five dollar notes of their customers. Specie in this city is worth from five to ten per cent. more than paper. At New York it is worth a still higher pre mium. I cannot pronounce a single bank insolvent as regards property, but only short as regards specie. They have most of them immense surpluses. In New York this is the case ; And in Philadelphia they have all their specie in their vaults, and the banking institutions are among the richest in the Union. Boston and Baltimore also stand high in public estimation. General Jackson's grand experiment of a specie currency has been fairly tried, and the results are bankruptcy, ruin, and commercial degradation. It began with the veto that destroyed the United States Bank in 1834 ; and since the national charter of that institution expired in 1836, there has been more paper currency than ever. The specie cir cular, too, has diverted most of the floating gold and silver from their regular channels into the government deposit banks ; and thus, by a fatal error in finance, the commerce of the country has been ruined. Remember Ido not for a moment wish to conceal the greatest cause of all in producing the panic, viz., overtrading ! And this the American merchants have certainly carried on, with the ex ception of some few . old houses, to an unwarrantable extent. The very system of exchanges that bas been introduced is extortionate. By exchanges I mean that a maa taking a note in one city cannot pass it in another, but must pay a discount for current money to an exchange-broker. This was not so when the United States Bank was in existence its notes would pass everywhere. I now come to a fact of especial interest to Great Britain. It is the state of commerce and balance of trade between the two countries. This has been variously stated in differ ent publications. Some say that the merchants of America owe the merchants of Great Britain sixty millions of dol lars. Others believe that the debt does not exceed forty. I take the mean, and suppose the amount to be fifty mil lions. Without beating about the bush, I will at once state my conviction that the major part of that large sum will be lost ! There is no mistake in this branch of the business. You may as well calculate on the worst, for only those transactions that have been carried on with old, prudent, and substantial houses will ever be realised at maturity. Such are safe.

Dr. Chambers who left the Castle this morning and was not expected back until to-morrow, has just returned ; having been especially recalled, it is said, in consequence of the un favourable change which has taken place. We have heard, with a higher feeling of gratification than we can venture to describe, of the manifestation of feeling at the several places of public worship in the metropolis yester day. It was impossible not to observe the anxious and affec tionate interest, and extraordinary fervour, with which the prayer for the King's safety and welfare was responded to by the, deep and universal " Amen." A good and wise man would rather be the object of that deep and universal " Amen" than the conqueror of half the world. In many of the churches of the Establishment and Wesleyan chapels, extempore prayers for the King's recovery were offered up, immediately before or after the sermon. Some of these have been forwarded to us, and they are exceedingly beautiful and appropriate ; but in a newspaper they would scarcely be in their proper place.— Standard.

The following bulletin of the King's health was exhibited to the public yesterday at St. James's Palace:— " Windsor Castle, Monday, June 12, 1837. " The 2ymptoms of the King's disease remain the same, but his Majesty has acquired some strength since the date of the last bulletin, and continues to do the business of the country. " HENRY HALFORD. " MATHEW TIERNEY. " WM. FREDERICK CHAMBERS. " DAVID DAVIES." The bulletin was shown in one of the State Rooms. Messrs. Dubell and liaise, the State Pages, and the Yeomen of the Guard, were in attendance as on the former occasion. The Marquis of Headford and Sir William Houston, the Lord and Groom in Waiting, were present in Court uniform. The Austrian and French Ambassadors, the P, ussian, Danish, \Vurtemberg, Bavarian, Grecian and Saxon Ministers, Mr. Lichtenberg, the Marquises of Huntly, Exeter, Ely, Ailsa, Queensberry, and Westmeath ; Earls of Abingdon, Morton, Surrey, and Breeknock ; Countesses Jersey and Morton ; Lords Byron, Torrington, Montague, Bexley, and Temple_ town ; Ladies Cornwallis and Charlotte Bury ; Sirs William Burnett, W. Woods, W. Gomm, J. Kempt, Rev. Dr. Kuper, and General Ellice • Messrs. Hope, M.P., Sturges Bourne, Henry Ellis, and Stewart, and the Rev. J. R. Wood, were among those who left their names at the palace. The Princess Augusta and the Duchess of Gloncester took an airing together yesterday in a carriage, and visited the Princess Sophia Matilda, at her residence on Blackheath. The Duke of Cumberland came to town yesterday from his residence at Kew. The Prince of Hohenlohe Langenbourg arrived at the Queen's House, St. James's, yesterday morning, from Windsor Castle. Mr. Baring, M. P., Mr. H. G. Ward, M. P., and a Depu tation, had an interview with Viscount Melbourne, yesterday, in Downing-street. The Spanish Minister transacted business yesterday, at the Foreign Office. A meeting of the Church Commission was held yesterday, afternoon, at the Office in Whitehall-place. BRIGHTON-MONDAY. The illness of his Majesty has occasioned the most intense anxiety here, particularly . since preparations were making for the removal of the illustrious patient to this pisce, a change which the increase of indisposition will of course prevent, atall events for some time. It is hoped that the favourable progress of the disorder wig s,on allow his Majesty's removal, when it is understood he will seek the renovation of health on our salu b. shores. The Earl of Egremont was seized on Monday with so severe an attack of inflammation of the throat, to which his Lordship is cceasionally subject, as to require the presence of Sir Mat thew Tierney, who repaired from London, and who, by co pious bleedings, speedily reduced the violence of the malady. His Lordship will not, however, be present at the fete at Pet worth, this day, but will remain with us for some days longer. A meeting, most numerously and respectably attended, was held at the Town Hall, on Wednesday last, on the railroad question, when various resolutions were adopted, and a peti tion prepared for presentation to the House of Commons, pray ing the House to adopt Rennie's direct line of road, as that which is most in accordance with the wishes of the inhabitants. The mail between Brighton and London now leaves the former place at eleven at night, instead of half-past ten, which of course affords considerable facility to the public. The recent alternation of showers and sunshine has proved extremely beneficial to vegetation; hedges and fields which a short time since were as leafless and barren as at Christmas, are now covered, the former with foliage and the latter with grass. The grass grows rapidly, but it is not thought the crop will be very heavy : the wheat is much improved in appearance. The Duke of Devonshire, who is subject to annual attacks of what is termed a hay fever, is now suffering under an unu sually severe fit of that complaint, and is residing in perfect seclusion at Kemptown, his Grace's retirement from the gay circle; of London, and the postponement of the splendid en tertainments usually given by his Grace at that period, occa sioning very sincere and very general regret. 'We regret to learn that the late attack of illness has affected his Majesty's nerves so much that he suffers greatly from any sound near him. From Tuesday night until Sunday it is said that her Majesty never retired to rest. Lord Skelmersdale entertained the Duchess Countess of Sutherland, and a distinguished party at dinner, last even ing, in Portland-place. The Earl and Countess of Surrey gave a grand din ner on Saturday evening, in Hyde-park-place, to the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, and a select party. The Earl and Countess of Wilton, on their return to town from Wentworth-park and Ascot, had a distinguished party to dinner, including the Duke and Duchess of Beaufoit, Earl and Countess of Chesterfield, Lord and Lady Suffield, &c. The Marquis of Camden entertained the Duke of Montrose, Marquis and Marchioness of Londonderry, Marquis and Marchioness of Downsbire, Earl and Countess of Wick low,- Earl and Countess of Brecknock, Earl and Countess Haddington, Lord Fitzgerald, Lord Stuart de Rothsay, Sir Henry and Lady Emily Hardinge, and a select party, at dinner on Sunday evening. Mr. Parnther's musical soiree on Sunday evening, in Grafton -street, was attended by Baron Bulow, the Duke of of Wellington, M. and Madame Dedel, Marquis and Mar chioness of Salisbury, Earl of Surrey, &c. Mr. Hall was prevented by a sudden attack of in disposition from continuing in the House of Commons during the divisions on Lord John Russell's motion for a Committee on Church-leases. The Duke and Duchess of Beaufort have returned to Park -place, from their villa called Wadworth-park, near Windsor. AN EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—An extraordinary sensation has been created in East-street, Lambeth-walk, under the following circumstances :—For the last 16 years two brothers and three sisters, named Cunningham, have re sided at N o . 129 , E ast - s t re et, and procured their living by mending c hi na , &c. About three weeks since one of the sisters died, an d was b ur i e d by Mr. Gawler (the parish clerk of Lambeth), since which time the survivors have been in an ill state of health, and on Wednesday last one of the brothers died. On Saturday evening, Mrs. Moss, next-door neighbour, inquired of the surviving female how her sister was, and when her brother was to be buried ? She replied, "My sister is a little better, but I have been so ill that I have not been able to go to the undertaker's to order the coffin." Mrs. Moss thought the answer a very strange one, and at once proceeded to Mr. Ga w l er , to w h om s he stated the case, and he (Mr. Gawler), accompanied by a surgeon, instantly proceeded to the house. They knocked at the door several times, but not obtaining any answer the - door was forced open, and Mrs. Moss having procured a light, they proceeded up stairs, and found the corpse of a man in the back room, and that of a female in the front, both presenting a most horrible spectacle, being in a stat e o f p utr efaction. On descending a male and female were discovered in the back room, sitting on two chairs, apparently lifeless. A sedan chair was instantly sent for, in which they were conveyed to Lambeth work-house. They are still alive, but their recovery is very doubtful. Information has been sent to Mr. Cartar, the coroner, and the bodies will undergo a post mortem examination by Mr. Wagstaff, the parish surgeon, previous to the inqnest being held?

The pig had been in training for some weeks. The match was to run from the Toll-bar to Ocean-place, a distance of one mile. The bets were in favour of piggy. A good start was made, and the pig got the advantage for the first 150 yards, but being frightened at the great concourse of people which lined the route, he broke the line and attempted to escape. Jack won the race, having performed the distance in five minutes and three quarters. The pig during the train ing had repeatedly performed the distance in five minutes and a half. Much money changed hands on this occasion, the bets being generally in favour of the pig. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. NOTICE TO MARINERS. The following communications from the Admiralty were re ceived at Lloyd's this day, June 12, 1837: " Lighthouse of Hammaren. B Island.—lnforma tion has been received by his Majesty's Government that the light hitherto produced by a coal fire in the lighthouse of Ham maren, on the north point of the island of Bornholm, is about to be replaced by a fixed light from lamps. The necessary alterations arc to be commenced this month, but during their progress lamps will be lighted every night on the north point of the said island, for the guidance of shipping. " Hydrographic Office, Admiralty, June 2, 1837." Light of La Garouppe, or Antibes, Department of La \Tar, on the South Coast of France.—(l?cceived from the French Government. )—Mariners are hereby informed that, from the Ist July next, a fixed light will be shown every night from the tower recently constructed on the peninsula of La Ga rouppe, a mile and a half to the southward of the port of An tibes, and near the chapel of Notre Dame de la Garde, in lat. 43. 33. 51. N., and long. 7. 8. 4. E. of Greenwich. The light will be elevated 62 English feet above the ground, and 332 feet above the level of the sea, and will be visible in fine weather at the distance of seven leagues. In approaching Antibes from the eastward mariners will see the fixed light of Villa Franche, which stands on Point Malo, and also the inter mitting light at the entrance of the port of Antibes, at the same time as they see the fixed light of La Garouppe; but this last-mentioned light alone wiil be seen by mariners ap proaching from the southward or south-westward until they have rounded the peninsula. Admiralty, May 30, 1837. " Royal Swedish Norwegian Consulate, Great St. Helen's June 12, 1837. " Sir—A Norwegian sloop, called the Hannah Maria, hav ing suspiciously been carried away from Manhahl, in Norway, you will much oblige me by giving every publicity to the en closed letter from the owner, Mr. P. C. Olsen, in the hope that the same may lead to a discovery in this country ; the more so, as the vessel was not provided with requisite ship do cuments, and may, therefore, be detained by the Swedish and Norwegian Vice-Consul, I remain, Sir, your obedieiat servant, " CHARLES TOTTIE. " To W. Dobson, Esq., Secretary, Lloyd's. " TRANSLATED FROM THE NORWEGIAN LANGUAGE. " Farshund (Norway), May 24, 183 7. " A singular occurrence has lately happened to me. A short time since I purchased by auction at Marrdahl the sloop Hannah Maria, which was sold for debt. On my personal ar rival at Mandahl yesterday to receive the vessel the former owner, Erickson Christian, with two men, had taken away the vessel, and proceeded to sea without its being known where he is gone. It is probable that he may arrive at some place in England ; and under this impression I have to request that you will immediately on receipt of this cause the circumstance to be announced in the public papers, and request at the same time that you will adopt every possible measure for the disco very of the said Christian Erickson, and, if found, to cause him to be detained on my account, and place an embargo on the vessel. The said Erickson is not a shipmaster or mariner. The last commander of the vessel was a person of the name of Strand. It is therefore possible the thief may assume this name, or he may, probably, have some papers on board which he might make use of. The sloop is of the burthen of 24 lasts, nearly new, and built of fir. If you can trace or discover this robber I would be greatly obliged, and will thankfully re pay you all the expenses.—l remain, &c., (Signed) " P. C. OLSEN.'" PAUPER RIOT.—On Saturday morning last, in consequence of its being expected that one of the relieving officers belonging to the Gainsborough Union would be at Butterw ick, by the steam packet, a party mustered at an early hour, rattling old pans, blowing beasts' horns, and making other discordant noises. This was the means of drawing to gether a large assemblage of people, whose intention it was, on the arrival of the packet, to mob the officer and to throw him into the Trent, being determined not to have him among them. Fortunately, however, on the arrival of the packet, it was found that he had landed at Ferry, a few miles distant. Two constables were in attendance from Belton, to keep the peace, who, as soon as they interfered, were knocked down by the mob, and much hurt, one of them, Mr. Platts, senior, having his coat nearly torn in pieces. Th e y then thought it prudent not to interfere further, as the rioters threatened to break the windows of any person who attempted to encourage and assist the relieving officer in the execution of his duty, and otherwise destroy their property ; and also to re-assemble and release any one who might be taken into custody, vowing ven geance against the officer and the new Poor-law Bill.--Don caster Gazette. Saturday was the anniversary of the commencement of the building new London Bridge, in 1824. The rustic sport of prison -bars was once a Royal amusement. King Edv.ard VI. in his Diary tells us, that on the 31st of March, Dil9, he offered " a challenge that he and sixteen gentlemen of his chamber would run at base and run at the ring, with any seventeen of the Court." Lord DENMAN delivered the judgment of the Court in this case. This was an action to try whether a rate im posed by the Commissioners of Sewers could be im posed upon a whole township, leaving the inhabitants them selves to settle their respective proportions, or whether the Commissioners were not bound in the first instance to assess according to the value of the lands and tenements held by each occupier. The chief, indeed the almost only, autho rity for saying that the rate could be levied in that way on the whole township was to be found in " Callis on Sewers," but there were many other authorities of greater weight. However• convenient the Court might deem the practice which had been adopted in this case, it was impossible for the Court to say that it was the most lawful course ; and as the objection had been taken the Court must recognise it, and must give judgment for the plaintiff. Judgment for the plaintiff accordingly. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBORO UGH-STREET. Mrs. Margaret Miller came before Mr. CONANT and Mr. HALL, to charge one Miss Anna Adeliza Read with having "shook and shoved her" last Tuesday. The charge appeared the more marvellous on taking the disparity in the sizes of the two parties into consideration, the complainant presenting the bodily rotundity of " three single ladies rolled into one," while the delicate - features, the slim waist, and petite proportions of the defendant seemed to put the masculine achievements she was accused of quite out of the question. The defendant was accompanied by a well-dressed, red haired personage, who at first figured as a sort of defendant, but afterwards discharged the office of amicus curia. The fat complainant, with considerable warmth, averred that, while in her bed-room habiliments on Tuesday night, the defendant suddenly burst in, blew out the candle, and gave her a shove that tumbled her unceremoniously over a piece of bed-room crockery. However (said the com plainant) I don't care a pin for the assault. I want your Worships to bind her over to leave my place, for I assure you the house I keep is of the most respectable description. Respectable ! said Miss Anna Adeliza (tossing her head contemptuously)—l live in the house, and can assure you its any thing but respectable. Here the defendant entered into certain particulars, which settled the matter conclusively. Its false, and PH bring ,twenty gentlemen who use my house to prove it, retorted the complainant. I'm a lone weak widow woman ; but for all that, thank goodness— doubling a fist somewhat smaller than the knuckle of an ox —I can protect myself. Miss Anna—You know, Mrs. Miller, there would not have happened anything unpleasant if you had net scanda lously abused me to this gentleman—pointing to her red haired companion. Mr. CONANT—Pray, who is that gentleman ? Miss Anna—That gentleman. Oh ! he's a visitor—that is, a sort of acquaintance—a kind of particular friend. Mrs. Miller—Yes, your Worship, 3ou may guess what he is, when I tell you he has lodged with that lady in my house for a month at least. All this bother only happened out of a bit of nonsense. Miss Anna—Nonsense ! no such thing ; nobody could have put up with it, I'm sure. Mr. CONA NT—Well, how did it OMIT ? Mrs. Miller— You see this gentleman came into my room to have a bit of chat. He says to me, Mrs. Miller, which do you think the prettiest girl, Annie—meaning this young woman—or Lucy, meaning another young lodger of mine. Why, says I, if I speak the truth, Lucy for my money—she is all na tural—she's neither painted, padded, bustled, nor stuffed. —(Laughter, in which the Bench joined.) Miss Anna (scrubbing her cheeks) —Me painted and padded 1 Redhaired Gentleman—l can prove, your Worship, she is neither padded nor painted. Miss Anna (twisting herself about) —Me stuffed and bUstled ! Pc:Alt:tired Gentleman—l can prove she's neither bustled nor stuffed. Mr. CON NT (handing over the warrant)—There, I shall discharge the warrant, and leave you your remedy at the Sessions if you choose to indict. The redhaired gentleman and Miss Anna Adeliza walked arm-in-arm away, and Mrs. Miller waddled after them, vowing she'd make the house too hot to bold them if they entered it again. SHAMEFUL PROCEEDINGS. On Thursday the Marquis of Waterford and some of his friends went to Windsor, and dined with some of the officers at the Foot Barracks, which place they left between ten and eleven o'clock at night. On their way to the Castle Inn, where the carriages had been left, they com mitted a number of disgraceful outrages. In the line of streets they passed through they broke the knockers off the_ doors, and not content with this, they, in many in stances, threw them through the windows of the houses from whence they had been taken. In one instance, where the lady of a Reverend Gentleman, connected with Eton College, was lying dangerously ill in bed, they broke the knocker off the door, and threw it in at the windo - v of the room where she was lying, and the alarm occasioned to her thereby was so great that it is said her life is despaired of. In the meantime, Mr. Gillman, the superin tendent of the Windsor police, received information of wl at was going on, and hastened, with the force at his disposal, to the spot ; but, before he arrived, the party were satisfied with their " sport," and had retreated to their hotel. One of the constables attempted to secure one of them in their retreat, but he was quckly attacked by his companions, who rescued his prisoner from him and severely maltreated him. Mr. Gillman, seeing the excited state of the Mar quis and his companions, and fearing if he were to make any attempt to secure them that some serious breach of the peace might take place, deemed it the most prudent course to allow them to retire to their hotel, in the hope that they would order their carriages and leave the town without committing any further outrages. While the attention of the police was directed to the Castle Inn, two of the Marquis's party went to the College at Eton, and clambered over the wall into the square, where the statue of King Henry the Sixth, the founder of the College, is placed, which they mutilated and disfigured very much, and wrenched away the sceptre, and carried it away with them as a trophy. They then rejoined the Marquis and their other companions at the Castle Inn, and after a short time their carriages were ordered, and they drove out of the town towards London. The moment the authorities of the College were made acquainted with the scandadous outrage which had been committed they issued a reward of 25 guineas to any person who would give evidence that would lead to the conviction of the parties concerned in it. Shortly after the reward was offered the registrar of the College received a parcel, which, on being oFened, was found to contain the sceptre which had been taken from the statue. It is not known whether the College authorities ntend to take any further steps in the matter.-11fern.Post. Notwithstanding the ungenial nature of the past Spring, the fine corn-growing valleys in Wiltshire present a most healthy and satisfactory appearance. MILITARY EXECUTION.—It is customary, In like cases7to tie up the eyes of the prisoners, in order that they may not shr;nk when the signal for firing is given ; while they them selves, kneeling upon their coffins, await the word in the atti tude of prayer. His companions readily acceded to the wishes of the officer by whom the firing party was commanded ; but the colonel would do nothing of the sort. No ; he had faced death too often to fear him now ; he would neither permit him self to be blindfolded, nor bend the knee. In an upright posi tion, and smoking his cigar, he stood to receive the volley, and when he saw the carbines levelled, he held out 'his breast proudly towards them. There was but one discharge. Several balls passed through his head, others riddled his companions in misfortune, and all three, after we had marched round, and gazed upon them, were thrust into their coffins, and committed to the dust.—Gleig's Hussar. The Wesleyan Methodists of this city have been thrown into a state of much anxiety and alarm by the sudden disappearance of one of their Ministers, the Rev.

Martin and Lusher, to hold a Missionary meeting, and had left them to return home on Thursday, last, but he has not yet arrived. Some time ago lie suffered se verely from a mental affection, so much so that he ceased from his ministerial duties for four years, and it is only , since the last conference that he has resumed his labours. It is, there fore, feared that his malady has returned upon him, and that he may now be wandering about the country, or that some ac cident has befallen him.—Bath Chronicle.
