THE COUNTRY MARKETS WAKEFIELD, SEPT. 17.—There is a short supply of wheat to-day, and the best descriptions of new are sold readily at full prices, whilst inferior samples are rather neglected; old is claiming more attention, and held firmly.

NEWBURY, SEPT. 16.—T0-day's market has been largely supplied with Wheat, a small proportion of which was old, which met a good sale at full rates. The finest selected parcels of new realised nearly late rates, whilst secondary and inferior descriptions, of which the bulk consisted, were quite a drug, and although offered at fully 2s per quarter decline, much remained unsold. In Spring corn we are but moderately supplied, and, with a dull sale, we have no alteration to note in value. LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 17.—Though the harvest may be considered as mostly secured the very fine weather we are now having exercises a certain degree of influence on the corn trade, by causing the condition of what is brought to market of the new crop to be better than was anticipated, and, as well, curtailing the demand. Busi ness generally has been inactive this week, and at our Corn Exchange this morning we had a small attendance of buyers. There was no change observed in prices of good quality of wheat and flour, and as regards choice samples of American barrels of the latter they are ex ceedingly scarce. Other articles remain as quoted on Tuesday last. EXETER, SEPT. 17.—Cattle—The supply of cattle and sheep, although large, was not so extensive as last week. The attendance of dealers was tolerably numerous, and a good stroke of business was done, Beef maintains the recent advance in price, and the quotations for prime quality were from 8s to 9s per score; inferior not much in demand at from 7a to 7s 6d; cows and calves, 81 8a to 121 12s; barreners, 4s 6d to 5s 6d per score; butchers' calves, 5d to 51e1 per lb; sheep sold at about ast week's quotations. For prime small wethere, .sid per lb; large ditto, sd: ewes, 4i-d to 5d per lb; lamb, 6d—a small supply. Pigs as last week. Pork Carcases—The sup ply was about the same as last week, and no alteration in price—quotations varying from 6s 6d to 7s 9d per score. Pannier —Turkeys, 5s 6d to 6s 6d; geese, 5s to 6s each; ducks, 4s to ss; fowls, 3s to 4s; pigeons, is 9d per couple; partridges, 2s Gd to 3s per brace; roasters, 4s to 5s each; butter, lid to is per lb; eggs, 18 for a shilling. Wool--The price remains firm, at Bid per lb. Corn Exchange-Prices were about the same us last week for wheat-6s to 6s 3d being about the range of quotations for old. The price of new varied from 4s 9d to 5s 6d per bushel; barley, 3s 6d to 3s 9d; oats, 2s to 2a 6d. Flour, 33s to 359 per sack.

THE CLOTHING MANUFACTURES. ENGLISH WOOL, LEEDS, SEPT. 17.—Some kinds of wool are very scarce and much inquired for, and all kinds are lighter stock than in former years at this season. Prices are firm, and have an upward tendency. LIVERPOOL WOOL, SEPT. 16.—Business is steady at late prices. The imports the past week have been 237 from Petersburg, 2 New York, 80 Gibraltar, 15 Egyptian, and 27 Naples. TRADE OF LEEDS.—There was considerable briskness and activity in the Cloth Halls both last Saturday and Tuesday, and a better business was done. Cloths of good marketable character were readily sold. Prices are firm. Stocks continue low. We believe the mills in the out-townships and adjacent manufacturing villages are all well employed, doing a sound healthy trade both to order and for the markets. There have been a few Scotch and Irish buyers in the town during the week, and a few houses that principally cultivate these branches of the trade have been rather brisk, but on the whole b us i ness hisbe a l li g rk now the height o f in the warehouses has - been rather quieter this wee k. The shipping houses generally are doing less, the sea son American T beingT TRADE A over . n D o ß w op r At foricE LEICESTER.—This the season for the winter demand, all branches are very active, more particularly the fancy hosiery branch Stocks of yarns are accumulating in the spinners' hands, who complain that whilst on the one hand they cannot get the advance they require from the hosier, on the other they cannot buy wools . to go on with to obtain prime cost at their present prices. If the present demand continues' the hosier must purchase at thp advance, as o ld stocks are nearly all cunsumed. Wools are firm, and more business doing. Nolls and brokes are in great request. BRADFORD, SEPT. 16.—The trade this day has been very much what it has been during the last few weeks. There is a brisk demand for lower qualities of Coburga, but finer qualities are less sought atter. We hear of no alteration in worsted yarns and cotton warps. TRADE OF MANCHESTER, SEPT. 16.—We have had a very firm market, and a fair amount of business i s doing in both cotton yarn and cloth. The attempt made on Tuesday to obtain the advance in price, in conse quence of the American advises to the effect that storms and the worm bad injured the growing crops of cotton, was not persevered in, and the result has been that buyers have come rather more freely into the market. In some descriptions of goods, in fact, more business could not have been done, only because sellers were not able to supply the goods in a reasonable time, and at reasonable prices. Cop yarn for manufacturers is a good deal inquired for, and fetches full prices. There has been a fair demand also for export, and 20's to 30's water twist for Germany are hardening in price. Some of the spinners of repute of these yarns are under con tract for the whole of October, November, and Decem ber. For the Levant there is much business doing. Printing cloths are very scarce, and the market fully takes off the supply. In domestics and T cloths there is a good deal doing, but manufacturers complain that it has not been sufficient to enable them to command re munerative prices. TRADE OF NOTTINGHAM.—It is satisfactory to state that the cotton hose trade continues in rather a flourish ing condition. The drawer and pantaloon hands have in general full employment. A considerable quantity of warp silk gloves are being made; they are exquisitely shaped in Worcestershire, and are now sown in that county. The bobbin net trade, for good patterns and superior net, is gradually, improving, but the slop trade is evidently on the decline. The lace trade has been LAURENT'S GRAND CASINO, A.

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

LAUNCH OF THE WINDSOR CASTLE.—The leviathan three-decker screw steam-ship Windsor Castle, was launched from Pembroke Dockyard, at five o'clock, on Wednesday evening. The weather being remarkably fine, some 30,000 persons bad assembled from the neigh bouring towns to witness the interesting spectacle of the launching of the largest ship-of-war in the world. The ceremony of naming her was performed, in the thual way by the lady of Sir Thomas Pastel, the Captain Superintendent of Pembroke Dockyard. The Windsor sor Castle was originally intended for a 120-gun ship, but was afterwards lengthened midships, for the purpose of giving the necessary increase of displacement for the engines, boilers, coals &e., and abaft for the accommoda tion of the screw propeller. The following are her dimensiOns . :— „ Feet in.

Mitchell, of the Jefferson College, Philadelphia, in lecturing to his pupils upon the diseases of the heart, narrated an anecdote in proof that the expression " broken - he arted" was not merel y figu rative. On one occasion, in the early part of his life, he accompanied, as surgeon, a pack et that sailed from Liver p o o l to one of th e A mer i can ports. The captain frequently con verted with him respecting a lady who h ad p ro mised to be come his bride on his return from t h at voyage. Upon this subject he ev i nce d grea t warmth of feeling , and showed Dr. Mitchell some costly jewels, ornaments, &c., which he in tended to present as bridal presents. On reaching his desti nation he was abruptly informed that the lady had married some one else. Instantly the captain was observed to clap pp his hand t o hi s b reas t, and fall heavily to the ground. He was taken u p an d conve yed to his cabin on board the ves sel. Dr. M i t c h e ll was immediately summoned , but before he reached th e poor captain he was dead, A postm or t em ex amination revealed the cause of his unfortunate decease. His heart was found literally torn in twain I The tre mendous propulsion of blood, consequent upon such a violent nervous shock, forced the powerful muscular tissues asunder, [ADVERTISEMENT.] _...Holloway ' s Pills a sure and excellent Remedy for Female C a.n p laints.—The invi g or ating and purifying properties of these invaluable pills render them safe and infallible, and may be taken by females of all ages who are suffering f rom any disorganisation of the system, thereby preventing those distressing diseases which frequently occur (from inattention) at the turn of life.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS• FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY admirablelasto characteristics , speakofthat TlMES.—Atter duly contemplating the life and ser vices,pled position of the man England andhas the unexam mayvetnhteureat immense f crop of just lost, one honours, titles, offices, and guerdons every imagina ble sort which have been heaped upon o . im. It may truly be said that not only kings an but all ranks, all classes, every age and sex i p n rin thls s, country, have delighted to honour the m an through allwhom, believed, Heaven had given it deliverance. Whateveras was rare and precious, the first of its kind, the very cream of honour and the flower of c o ns id erat i on, has been accumulated on the object of our national regard, like the glittering arms and decorations on an ancient trophy. Distinctions, each of them, in its way, the ob ject of ardent ambition and jealous rivalry, have been piled upon him in almost wasteful profusion. The prize that had long fed the hopes of twenty suitors has, in this instance, been only thrown into the heap. So long and so splendid is the mere catalogue of honours, that, for a whole generation, young men, and their elders too, have repeatedly opened the Peerage for the express purpose of rekindling their admiration with the splendid recital; and this was, in all sane and ordinary minds, without a particle of envy, and without even a hope of imitation. The trophies of our Miltiades have robbed no man of his sleep. Even they who were pitted against the Duke of Wellington in his Indian services and his earlier Peninsular campaigns, and who might feel themselves aggrieved at his forwardness, his favour, or his fortune, uniformly lived to ju stif y all these three ac cessories to his success. Indeed all of us, though ever so far or ever so near—if any were near him in the race of honour—have felt only pleasure in the reflection that we had so great a man in our age and our country; and, more than all, that the man thus ours by the accident of birth was, to the very heart's core, and to the very mar row of his bones—an Englishman. We will not quarrel with the traditionary John Bull which political humour ists make the typo of our race; but we must say that it has always struck us most forcibly that the perfect ideal of the Englishman was to be found in the Duke of Wel lington. All such personal admiration, philosophers tell us, is only a subtle form of self-worship, and cer tainly we should never all agree to like a man who was not singularly like ourselves. That deep community of feeling we believe to be at the bottom of the un bounded homage we have paid to this name. In this country the peerage is the most coveted of all possessions. It is given charily, and never with out raising a national controversy as to the merits and clahns,of the new Peer. The successive steps of nobility are scarcely less coveted, scarcely less disputed, and the man who from a viscount becomes an earl, or trom a marquis a duke, is thought to have done as much for one life as could be expected. He is accounted the second founder of his family. The Duke of Wel lington, as the Peerage loves to tell, and as wo all love to read, scaled all the steps of the nobility at one bound. He left England plain Sir Arthur, and came back a Duke. When he took his seat all the patents of nobility were read at once. But the British Peerage itself, with its manifold steps, proved insufficient, and when Water loo had eclipsed the Peninsula, there remained no other rank, title, or addition that England could bestow, and the Duke was Duke because he could be nothing higher. Thus the highest rank of our ancient nobility was at the same time ennobled and diminished by the gigantic proportions of its new member. To proceed, we know not how many times the Duke of Wellington has received the thanks of both Houses of Parliament, and there is hardly an educated person who has not read over and over again with emotion those few wonderful words which the Speaker of the House of Commons addressed to the Duke when at last he appeared in person on that floor. Some of our nobility have also foreign titles, and are not a little proud of them, though their origin is long since forgotten. The Duke had the highest titles that could be given by three considerable Sovereigns from whose territories he had driven the legions of the Emperor. The Duke was a Field-Marshal—the only real Field-Marshal—and when Englishmen are asked, " What is a Field-Marsbal?' they will answer, " The Duke of Wellington." He was also Field-Marshal in three other of the greatest armies in the world, where Field-Marshals are as few as in our service. To pass on. The Order of the Garter is unspeakably precious to the eyes of rank in this country. A man without heirs would rather be a K.G. than a Duke. It is so mixed up with royalty, that the collar, the badge, the mantle, and the motto decorate our coinage. When a stall falls vacant at least a dozen dukes and earls, the proprietors of counties, and the holders of great offices, arc thrown into agonies of suspense. With two or three such baits a Minister could purchase or pacify vapport enough to save or to ruin his country. The higkeet honours of foreign knight hood are not less PVized7ind every admission to the order of the Golden Fleece is an historical event, cer tain to provoke angry discussion in the English and French journals. The Duke of Wellington was in the first class of all the principal orders of Europe. Be sides these honours on the scale and stage of the world, universally recognized and current, there are others that are only known at home, but not the less valued. The Wardenship of the Cinque Ports has been highly appreciated by our most distinguished Mi nisters, and probably at this moment would be gladly accepted by Royalty itself. Of course this has long been in the hands of the Duke, and tens of thousands, in passing from North to South Foreland, have thought of him as they passed by Wainer Castle. To be Con stable of the Tower of London is enough of itself to give importance to any military name. That has long been thrown in among other dignities. The Chancellorship of the University of Oxford has always been so stoutly contested, that friendships, antipathies, promotions, and even schools of opinion have dated from the elections. At the first vacancy after the Duke's exploits it was conferred upon him without opposition, though not an academical man. The Duke was for many years stand ing Commander-in-Chief, under changing Cabinets, and rival Premiers equally bowed to his authority. He was also for a long time Master of the Trinity-house, a post hardly leas responsible and important. Be sides these, he had colonelcies, commissionerships, and governorships without end, the Lord Lieutenancy of his county, and a multitude of smaller offices and honours which it is impossible to remember and not easy to learn. We have omitted im mense Parliamentary grants, pensions, Strathfieldsaye, prize-money, silver-shields, plateaus, services in gold and chins, diamond stars, poured in upon him by emperors, kings, armies, corporations, ladies, and every possible donor. We have omitted statues of all sorts and sizes. Our limits compel us to take things in the gross; but, even with this rapid and wholesals mode of enumeration, we aro omitting various heads and modes of acknowledgment. It is not our present purpose to notice the gigantic powers of the man who could dis charge with credit such a multitude of offices, almost any one of them sufficient to occupy an ordinary mind. We are only noticing the extraordinary accu mulation of honours heaped by the gratitude, the ad miration, and the confidence of this country, and the greater part of the civilized world, on a man who l i never rose or wished to rise above the rank of a subject or obedience to the laws, and whose sole prin ciple through life was that which we teach the children in our Sunday schools, viz., to do their duty in that state of life unto which it shall please God to call thee). But the most exhaustive enumeration of honours that memory could reach, after all, fails of describing the position of this man for the last forty years. It does not include that personal interest, that reverential regard, and that respectful curiosity which all have felt for a person to whom they were so much indebted, and who hardly fell short of the most romantic ideal of heroism. No one in this country ever received so much of that popular testimony, monstruri digito pretereuntinm, excepting that the spectators were not always content with a passing glance. For many years he was daily watched from Apsley House to the Horse Guards, and. as he always arrived at the House of Lords exactly at a quarter to five o'clock, he had always a tail of modest admirers behind him, sad a species of reception by a circle, often including well-drest people from the country, at the street entrance of the House of Lords. Latterly, as he came in his photon or on horseback, this opportu nity of a deliberate survey was more extensively used. No parade or spectacle was complete without him, and his presence everywhere secured all the success that was desired. Whenever he appeared in the Exhibition last year he was soon oppressed, and sometimes . driven away, by the redundant enthusiasm of his provincial admirers. In the fashionable world he was everything and everywhere, and at everybody's call, yet never lost his value; though, in some instances, he certainly appre ciated himself at a lower rate than his sensitive friends could have wished. For many years he has been the universal father at weddings and Godfather at baptisms; yet, so little had his philanthropy been cheapened by the multitude of its objects, that when a Royal Prince was born on his birthday he was put in requisition; and, for his sake, we have a Prince Arthur once more in Britain. Beginning with her Majesty and Prince Albert, there is not a family in the fashionable world that has not shown as much interest and curiosity about the Dake as any middle class household that had heard of his battles, but had no hope or chance of a nearer acquaintance. The D u ke was everywhere a favourite of children, and kept a store of shillings fresh from the Mint to distribute keepsakes among his juvenile admirers; and noinanys%br mementoes were kept till the possessor was s m a n n in young.

CHRONICLE. —Having reviewed the great chara c t er of the Duke of Wellington , both in his military and civil capacities—as a general End as a statesman — it remains but to show that his public virtues were not factitious, but sprang naturally out of the true man, Arthur Wel lesley. In other words, we may learn something from the spectacle of his simple, real, inner mind. We may view him apart from robes and uniform—no longer the leading spirit of the camp and Cabinet, but in private, in his individuality, as he was in himself. Cmiar has left his military papers, but they betray few traces of character ; Frederick the Great was at least great in the amount of his literary performances, though very , de th li e n y ea s t h io o n w small in the moral impression which he leaves • and Na poleon was an author after a fashion, though ' his fame suffers from his written picture of himself. But the not known till they col lected DispatchfOind military Memoirs of the Duke of have a test of what he tra P o l Wellington actdall these most honourably reveal the man.

The great publication of Colonel Gurwood reveals a very different type of hero— if " hero," in its old sense, can ever be the proper ap pellation of Wellington. He had, indeed, more true heroism than either his predecessor or his contemporary, but it was because he had less of the conventional hero. He never made fine speeches—never did dazzling thea trical things—seldom or never furnished subjects for sentimental pictures. His correspondence with .the Ministry and the War-office is simple, but it is the very reverse of tedious; for every intelligent reader of the " Wellington Dispatches," though unacquainted with, or uninterested in, the details, feels that the writer is saying exactly what the occasion demanded, ' and no more. The penny post has had its value in de stroying the type of letters written as epistolary exer cise ; but the Duke anticipated the condensed style of our own days! He was never a master of composition ; but, through much occasional uncouthness, his meaning was always perceptible axd clear. This applies to his speeches as well as his wiitiegs. That the Duke was no Suidas, everybody knows; but though be sometimes hit the nail roughly, and too hard, and too often, the nail was always hit. His speeches were more verbose than his dispatches, but in the least effective of them there was ever a core of sense—a clear note of ttuth, earnestness, and reason, which told both on the House of Lords and on the people. The Duke's speeches were often widely at variance with the rules of rheto- rical art, but - they invariably told. Whether as a writer or a speaker, there was no possibility of mis taking Wellington. His calmness of temperament saved his letters from the more obvious failings of his oratory ; but the defects in ES speeches are attributable partly to a sort of nervousness inseparable from an effort in which be knew that he was not successful, and partly—perhaps chiefly—to his intense desire to be understood. Hence the e xaggerations, the repetitions, and the false metaphors which a small criti cism has not nnfrequently detected in his oratory. All these were but the signs of an earnest, anxious vehe mence to say his say in such a way as to tell. The Duke evideutly felt that, if it were his business to speak, he must take care to speak so that the dullest auditor should understand him. " F.M. the Duke of Welling ton's" private letters have become proverbial; and yet, though we have all smiled at their quaintness, we can not renal one which did not, after all, say just whit the writer meant, whilst it also showed that he meant what he said. And seldom was his brief, pointed, extem poraneous judgment or answer misapplied. The Duke scarcely did more by minding his own business than by making it known, in choice, pithy English, that it was best for everybody else likewise to mind his own business—a lesson worthy and signiti alit Or . the teacher. Multifarious enough, certainly, were those opportunities of interference or too-opera tion which the good Duke did not exclude from his acknowledged sphere of duty. All the common haunts of fashion, as well as society's worst bores, he faced with a manly resolution which grew at length into a liking—duty became a pleasure, and a customary form and mode of life. Wellington felt that he was common property ; and such he was. Smaller men would have grown vain or sulky upon being challenged in this way; but it all came as a matter of course to the Duke. It was right and kind to be at people's parties — to give them his name—to give away their duaghters— and to eat their dinners. In doing this every day in the season, the Duke made no parade of himself. He was the first subject of the Crown; in his person were concentrated many of the offices, and most of the honours and dignities of the State; these things were his country's gifts to him, and the country had a corre sponding share in its Great Duke. The country had a tight to him and to his services, to his presence, his blue ribbon, and all the rest of it; and frankly and cheerfully, like an honest, earnest man, the Duke ad mitted this. And so he was always to be seen in " hall and bower"—to the very last he reared, with feeble hands, the great sword of Estate—to the very last he was punctual in his customary ride from Apsley House to the Horse Guards. The people loved to have their Great Captain ever before them ; and the Duke of Wellington was too wise to deny the claim. AU this shows a cheerful, sympathising, truthful temper; and it was so felt and understood by his countrymen. Without being a courtier, there have been very few who have ever done so much by personal weight. It was not owing to a more fashion or prejudice that " the counsel which he counselled in those days was as if a man had inquired at the oracle of God." There was always that in the Duke's advice which would have given it intrinsic importance. Its character was that of perfect common sense. It was not the mere result of experience—there was an intuitive quickness with which the Duke stripped a subject of its accidents. When the Queen, on any great emergency, sent for the Duke, she might not only depend upon thorough honesty, entire disinterestedness, a sound judgment, and an opinion dictated by perfect loyalty—out, yet more, the advice offered to the Crown under difficulties was generally a faithful rtth=e don of the sound opinions of the people. What the Duke recommended never differed much from the wishes of the majority of right-thinking minds. In listening to him the Sovereign listened to a true interpreter of public opinion; and that Wellington, in his declining years, with all his antecedents, should have come in this sense to represent the popular senti ment, is among his chief honours. Personally— o f course we are not illustrating the Duke's char acter ex cept from public sources—Wellington carried out him the details of social life his habitual simplicity and di rectness. He was, perhaps, constitutionally of inexpen sive and frugal habits; but no one was more munificent when occasion required it —not so much, however, from taste as from a sense of propriety. His Waterloo Ban vets, and his state concerts and receptions, were un rivalled; and his annual entertainment of the Judge° was dictated by a sense of duty. In his hospitalities 'so delighted to honour his S overe i gn an d hi s cou ntry rather than to gratify either vanity or any personal predilection.

These are high elements of personal character. Wellington's v i rtu es, if of the hard, were of the enduring and solid kind. The Duke was emphatically a great man —great not only in what he achieved, but great in himself. He was born to lead and to influence. England is certainly not the field for dynastic changes, nor does it off, r favourable chances to an adventurer; but if, to his great powers and successes, the Duke of Wellington had added personal ambition, there have been periods of history, and there are yet spheres, in which he might have been dangerous as a subject.

But a noble and affectionat e , a delicate and chivalrous loyalty, fully worthy of other days, with an earnest patriotism, kept in check, and made beautiful, qualities which might else have become formidable to State, Crown, and country.

H e w as the same at the drudgery of the Horse Guards as in the splendid vicissitudes of siege and battle; and he carried out, in fading years and with faltering powers, the great purpose of his manhood and his prime.

Yesterday afternoon Mr. Langham, the dep uty coroner for Westminster, held an i nquest at Sr. Martin's Workhouse, on the body of Mary Ann Palmer, a girl 15 years of age, who, for some time past, has been leading a life of profligacy in the dark arches of the Adelphi, from the pestilential atmosphere of which she had not emerged during the last five months, until discovered by. a policeman in the last stage of destitution and disease. The father of the unfortunate girl, a respectable man, carrying on the business of a carpenter in Hampden-street, Harrow road, stated that deceased, who was his enly child, left her home last November, and from that time he bad never seen her alive, although he had made the most anxious inqUiries about her. Three years ago she left her home in company with a girl of her own age, and was eventually found in King's College Hospital, labouring under a foul disease. Sarah Cunningham, aged 18, residing in Charles-street, Drury-lane, said she first met de ceased at the Victoria Theatre, about five months ago, and, finding her without a lodging, took her home for the night. Since that time they had both led a life of prostitution in the dark arches of the Adelphi.

The Adelphi arches were harbours for the young and most wretched prostitutes of the metropolis, and from their extent and compli cated character they completely baffled the exertions of the police. Under the arches there were several sets of stables, and the men in charge of them allowed the girls to conceal themselves there when the police pursued them. Mr. Joshua Atkins, who attended deceased at the workhouse, said he found her suffer ing from a loathsome disease, her body was a mass of ulcerations, and her chest was affected.

' ATTEMPT of TWO 11MAIDENLADIES to C° Ci l r i e ll u lT sta S nc U e lC O r f D a most E bY '8 Tailel Ti o N A m extraordinary and painful character, and which but for the prompt and humane exertions of the parties concerned in bringing it to light, would no doubt have ended fatally, has token place in the parish of Marylebone. About a month since, two ladies, of highly respect.. able appearance, and with manners of a very superior order, whose names have been ascertained to be Harriet and Julia Sharpley, called at the house of Mrs. Turner, 41, Adam-street West, Edgware-road, and engaged her back attic, which was at the time to be let furnished. They paid their rent regulaily, and went out together every day for the first fortnight, and their general appearance, although melancholy, plainly betokened that they had seen better days. A fortnight since last Wednesday they ceased to go out, and a week having elapsed since they had been seen or known to leave their room, fears were en tertained by Mrs. Turner, the landlady, that something was wrong as the door was kept leaked. The woman in the adjoining apartment expressed her conviction that they had no food, as she never heard the sound of a plate or a knife and fork. On the afternoon of Wed nesday, the Bth inst., Mrs. Turner, with a view to ascertain the cause of their non-appearance, knocked at the door and told them she wanted the room for her son. One of the ladies replied, very wall, and told her they would open the door in the evening. She went up, and on their opening the door she found them together, but they would not admit they wanted food, although they - appeared in a very desponding and emaciated condition. She went down and made them some tea, and brought up some bread and but ter ; but, although they thanked her for her kindness, they declined, saying they could not take it. She, however, insisted on leaving it and came down stairs, supposing her presence might hurt their feelings. They again locked the door, and feeling her position was a delicate one, the landlady did not like to dis turb them until Weauesaay last, eihen, having re ceive intimation from the lodger in the text room that he heard moans proceeding from the back attic, she f It it to be her duty to go to Mr. Mackenzie, the bead and summoning officer of St. Mary's distriot, who advised Mrs. Turner to have the door forced open and if what she feared was true, to make im medi to application to the workhouse. Mrs. Turner acte under the advice, and laid the case before the wor ouse authorities. Mr. Collett, one of the in.. spec ra of out-door poor, immediately proceeded to the ouse, 41, Adam-street, to visit the case, and on r tering the apartment, he found the sisters lyin on the bed, dressed, and locked in each othe s arms.

STEPNEY COLLEGE.— SHERIDAN KNOWLES A BArnsx.—On Wednesday afternoon, the annual treating of the friends and supporters of this institution was held in the College Chapel. Considerable interest was excited by the communication of a fact on which several of the speakers touched with evident feelings of gratification—viz , the ac cession to their ranks of Sheridan Knowles, the well-known dramatic author, who, it appear 2, was baptized by immer sion some time back by the Rev. Dr. Innes, of Edinburgh, and who has since connected himself with the Baptist Church in Bloomsbury, of which the Rev. William Brock is pastor. It appeared also that Mr. Knowles had just com pleted the delivery of a course of lectures on rhetoric, chiefly with a view to secure an easy and elegant style of delivery on the part of the students now training in thin ! institution.
