I - tiL ARAY ACCIDENT. —Tuesday morning, be• tween eight and nine o'clock, an accident of a most tearful character occurred to a yo man named Blackie, aged. twenty-nine, living at No. Ong, Surnmers..court, Gray's Inn lane. Ile «a; running along Queen-street, Lincoln's Inn, then in turning into Holborn, he suddenly came in contact with a br ewers dray was knocked down with great f)rce, and the wheels pa - -sed over his leg. The poor fellow was at crasut?nce taken to the King's College Hospital, with not only a red leg, but a broken arm, and other extewive in -3 Juries, It %vas considered that amputation must be resorted to, although but very slight hopes are entertained Qf Hs re" %Yell, MANCHESTER and SOUTHAMPTON RAILWAY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Thursday Morning. Sin,—ln last night's report of the proceedings before the Committee on this line, the Chairman is made to observe, " That the evidence which had hitherto been tendered had been chiefly by the Great Western and South-Western line, but that the Committee required mere impartial evidence in favour of the line." I pre sume he meant to observe, that the evidence against the line had been tendered chiefly by the two opposing mo nopolies, and that, therefore, he considered it partial andinterested. And this brings me to the question I wished to propose, viz., because a line of railway be tween two places is conceded to a certain body of share holders to construct, is the whole adjacent country ne cessarily included ? In other words, is the whole south and west of England to be handed over to the tender mercies of the two gigintic monopolies above-men tioned ? Or is an independent company, consisting mainly of the inhabitants of the various towns and land holders along the line to be permitted to construct a line, three-fourths of which already belong to them ? I assure you that the most intense dislike has been ex• cited in the minds of the inhabitants of Southampton against Mr. Sheriff Chaplin and his company, by the gross ingratitude shown, in return for their liberality in granting them a site for their terminus out of the town property, by the utter indifference to the interests of the town, and by the mean persecution of some of the tradesmen who preSumed to differ with his mightiness. If the Committee reject the Manchester and Southampton line, it will be considered tantamount to a decision that no line shall approach that port, except under the aus pices of tho detested South-Western management. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, A NATIVE OF SOUTHAMPTON. THE IRISH SOCIETY. A dinner, given by this society to compliment the Earl of Lincoln on his appointment to the Secretaryship of Ireland, and to which his Lordship was appointed some time s:nee, when it was but little anticipated he would so soon have to relinquish the duties of that office, took place on Wednesday, at the Star :and Garter, Richmond. Alderman Humphery, M.P., Governor of the Society, presided. Among the guests were the following members of Parlia ment:—The Earl of Lincoln, Lord C. Hamilton, Lord Chi chester, Sir Charles Napier, Sir R. Ferguson, The O'Connor Don, Mr. Joseph Hume, Mr. Moffatt, Alr. Williame,Mr. Kerr, Mr. Kemble, Mr. Bellew, Mr. F. French, Mr. Busfeild, Mr. M. J. O'Connell, Mr. Grogan, and Mr. Fitzgerald. The Re corder of Derry, Mr. Brewster (the Irish solicitor-General), Mr. Walter, Mr. Alsager, Mr. Campbell Foster, Sir W. Mag nay, Mr. S. Lover, and Dr. Mannsell, were also amongst the invited. His Highness Ibrahim Pacha was invited, but was unable to attend. After the, usual loyal toasts, The CHAIRMAN proposed " The Army and Navy," asso ciating with the latter portion of it the name of Sir C. Napier, who, in returning thanks, expressed his belief that the peace which this country now enjoyed with the other empires of the world; and the recent settlement of the Oregon question, was mainly attributable to the present efficient state of our navy. The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the next toast, which was "The Health of the Earl of Lincoln," expressed for himself and on behalf of the Society, the deepest regret at the loss of his Lordship's services as Secretary for Ireland; for, although differing from him upon many political points, he had the fullest confidence in his good wishes towards Ireland, and in his anxiety to serve that country. Mr. O'Connell had testi fied his approbation of the Noble Lord's conduct while he was in office, and though that time was too short to be of much practical benefit, his intentions would be gratefully remem bered by the Irish people.—(Hear, hear.) Lord LINCOLN said, that as he had accepted the Society's invitation when Secretary for Ireland, he felt that additional honour had been paid hiin by the complimentary manner in which, he could not say his services, but his intentions, had been alluded to by the Governor of the Society, now that he appeared before them, not in an official capicity, but as a private gentleman and a Member of Parliament. In that ca pacity, as well as in any other, he should be proud to testify his desire for tie welfare of Ireland.—(Hear, hear.) Without looking forward to any renewal of the connexion he recently had with that country, he could assure them he would con tinue to feel, as he always bad felt, the live:iest interest in its welfare.—(Hear, hear.) Though now relieved from the responsibilities of office, he did not forget that he still re tained those which attached to him as a representative of the people. He wished to see every spot in Ireland as flourish ing and as populous as that which was possessed by the Irish Society. He believed that by education and employment, by improving land and establishing good farm buildings, and by raising the moral condition of the people, that object might eventually be attained. For that object he should use his best exertions; and in retiring from office he could as. sure the Society that his desire to advance the general in terests of Ireland would not in the slightest degree diminish. The CHAIILMAN next gave " Prosperity to Ireland," coupling with the toast the health of Lord C. Hamilton, who conceived that the present state of political affairs would conduce to that prosperity, particularly if, as he sin cerely hoped would be the case, all parties would consent to bury in oblivion all sectarian prejudices and feelings, and unite in one common effort for the good of the country. The Chairman's health was then proposed by Lord LIN COLN; and an appropriate acknowledgment having been made by the worthy Alderman, The company shortly after retired, much gratified with the entertainment. DR. REID AND THE NEW HOUbES OF PARLIAMENT. The following are the answers of Mr. Philip Hard wicke, Mr. George Stephenson, and professor Graham, to questions submitted to them by the Chief Commis sioner of Woods in regard to the warming and ventila tion of the New Houses of Parliament. • 1. To call upon Dr. Reid to lay before them the details of his system of warming and ventilation, as intended to be applied to the New Houses of Parliament? —ln consequence of the instruction numbered 1., we called upon Dr. Reid to lay before us the details of his system of warming and ventilation, as intended to be applied to the New Houses of Parliament. He has laid before us his general principles of warming and ventila tion, the details only to a limited extent, but sufficient to enable us to form an opinion on the subject. 2. To consider and report how far it is practicable, and if practicable, whether it would be advisable that such system should be extended to the whole building, including all subordinate offices an 3 private residences contained therein ; or whether application of the system should be restricted to such portion as com prises the two Houses of Parliament, their corridors, libraries, kitchens, ancUrefreshment• rooms, or to a still more limited portion ?—Agreeably to the instruction numbered 11., we have considered Dr. Reid's system as he has explained it to us. It con sists of one general scheme for the warming and venti• lation of the whole of this extensive building, bring ing in the atmospheric air from a considerable altitude by the Victoria and clock towers at the two extremities of the building, carrying off all vitiated and impure air by one set of channels, both conveyed to a central tower proposed to be of grca'er elevation than the towers already mentioned. Although the scheme may be prac ticable, we are of o pi n i on t h at i t i s too much compli cated in its details and ultimate management to render such system advi sa bl e to b e applied to the whole build ing, including all subordinate offices and private resi dences contained therein, and that the application of the system considerably modified should be restricted to such portit.ns as comprise the two Houses of Parlia ment, their corridors, libraries, kitchen, and refreshment rooms. 3. To consider and to report whether there would be advantage in applying the system, as far as its applica tion shall be deemed advisable, to different divisions of .. __ the building separately and independent of each other ? —ln reference to the third instruction, we are of opinion that there would be advantage in applying the system modified to two divisions of the building—viz., to each House of Parliament, with the various rooms and corri dors belonging to it, and separately and independently of each other. We are further of opinion that it would be unnecessary to apply the system to the Committee rooms, as we consider they are capable of being warmed and ventilated in a more simple manner. That what ever warming and ventilation may be required to the Speaker's residence and the other private residences should be effected separately and independently of any other parts of the building, and from each other. 4. To ascertain and report how far Dr. Reid's system of warming and ventilation is compatible or can be made compatible with rendering the buildings or the portions thereof to which it is applied fire proof ?—We have not been able to consider the fourth question so much in de tail as could be desired to enable us to express a decided opinion upon it ; but we have a strong impression that the system of warming and ventilation, as proposed by Dr. Reid (if carried out in conformity with his plan) cannot be made compatible with rendering many por tions of the building fire-proof. 5. And, according to the opinions which may be formed on the points above-mentioned, to ascertain and to report how far such plans and information in regard to the building have been supplied to Dr. Reid as are sufficient to enable him to furnish to the arehi tee corresponding plans and information, in regard to ventilation, or, if further information should be con sidered requisite for either party, to what extent and in what manner it should be furnish“l?—With respect to the fifth point it appears to us chat Dr. Reid has had access to or been furnished with a great many plans and sections of the building, and has received sufficient assistance to enable him to apply his plans for warming and ventilation to the building in progress, HARDWICKE.

MAGAZINES-(CON TIN UED). BENTLEY. The author of " Wild Sports in the West " continues " Brian O'Linn" in the present number. He gives us two chapters, which are full of stirring incident. "ißrian O'Linn" promises to be one of the best of Maxwell's novels, Mr. henry Curling contributes a paper entitled "Chronicles of the Cirque Ports," which is replete with antiquarian lore. Aifred Crowquill contributes an isteresing tale, entitled "The Portrait," arid Miss Cos tello gives us some graphic sketches of Switzerland. " JacqueS Bonhomme " is the title of a paper by Lady Duff Gordon. And who is Jacques Bonhomme? per chance the reader may ask. Why, Jacques Bonhomme is to France what John Bull is to England, the impersonation of the national character ; and whoever wishes to know the true character of the French people—that is of the sound and thinking portion of them, in fact, the great and powerful majority, which is quiescent from its very strength, which has but to will to be obeyed—should read this paper. Jacques Bonhomie is an excellent fellow with sound good sense and a warm heart, somewhat preju diced perhaps (and so is John Bull fir that matter), but sound at the core. We have a great lilting for this said Jacques Bonhomme. We have a very valuable . paper on the " Albigenses and the Troubadours ; and Mr. Albert Smith continues his demonstations of " Popular Zoology." The tourists arc the subject of the prest nt dis section. The following account of the doings of the con ventional tonrist in Paris is true to the letter:— "At Paris he goeth to Meurice's, or Lawson's, and seen the sights by rule, as they are put down in the handbook. He formeth his notions a Paris in this wise. lie Stayeth at an English hotel, and is waited on by English servants. He meeteth nought but English people at the table d'hote; he hath an English lacquais de place, and readeth the English papers. He buyeth even English things to take home with him, at shops where they write up "English spoken here," and speaketh English himself, all day long. And then he sayeth to himself, "when I get home I will write a bock upon Paris and its people." He thinketh it right to dine once at Verey's, or Vefour's, and once at the Rocher de Can cale ; and delighteth in ordering the dinner himself, albeit, he maketh wild shots at the dishes, and if there is a party of three or four, amazeth the garcon, by ordering a portion a piece, for everybody. He (loth not much like the French theatres, but goeth as a duty, and laugheth with the audi ence, as do many at the French plays in London ; but he un derstandeth not a line he heareth ; and therefore cloth he pt. er Franconi's. He firrieth that his best clothes, brought from London, produce not the effect he de,ireth in Paris; and thereon riggeth himselfout in the Falais Royal. But he cloth not approach tit arer to the Frenchman for all that ; and when he goeth to the Messageries, in the Rue Notre Dame des Vic toires, and aslich," Esker eel err oon diligence,tnossieu,poor Genave?" he is di,gusted to hear the clerk reply inconti nently, " Yes, sir, every morning at eight o'clock.' Evcrard Clive contributes a clever Plutarchian parallel of Jugurtha and Abd-el-Fader. This paper is illus trated by a portrait of the Emir, drawn from the life, by De Rezctti, an artist in the French service, while a prisoner in Abd-el-Kader's camp. The following de scription of the personal appearance of this celebrated Arab chieftain, which is quoted as for a forthcoming work by Count St. Marie, may prove not uninteresting to some of our readers:— "His costume is very simple. He wears the Arab haick, fixed on the top of his bead by a string of camel hair. Over his woollen shirt he has a white burnouse, and over that an other burncu:e, striped white and brown His legs are en closed in yellow morocco boots. His beard h black, and un- shaven, like all the Arabs who have made the pilgrimage to Mecca. He is deeply marked with the small-pox. His features are prominent and decided, and his full black eye is expressive of extraordinary firmness of character." A glorious " Tipperary Hall," redolent of fun and frolic, learnincr, wit, and poetry, concludes this, one of the best numbers of Bentley that has yet appeared. DOLMAN'S MAGAZINE. Neither in variety nor literary merit is the July number of Dolman deficient : the magazine proceeds prosperously under its present editorship, and may now be looked upon as permanently established. As the professed organ of the Roman Catholic body, its pages will be resorted to with peculiar interest at this moment, in consequence of the recent demise of Pope Gregory XVI., an occurrence of• religious importance to the spiritual children of the Papacy, and of some political importance to the people of Europe generally. A brief allusion to the death of the Sovereign Pontiff, in an article by the editor, will more than satisfy curim . ty on this point, as it is written in a strain of earnest simplicity. The memory of Gregory XVI. appears to be regarded with affection by the Catholics ; and the nomination of Pius IX. as his successor is mentioned with considerable satisfaction. We arc gratified at the revival of" Glean ings in the Green Isle," as the writer has a buoyancy of manner and a spontaneousness of expression (we can give it no other name) which we particularly admire : the present instalment is infinitely the best that has hitherto appeared. Mr. Price's contribution, entitled " The Infidel," is the more excellent because—invested with much dramatic interest—it instils a very noble principle, and is pointed with a solemn moral. The conclusion of the tale is powerfully drawn: it reminds one of Warren's inimitable " Passages from the Diary of a Late Phy sician." For the pleasure of our reader we will tran scribe some verses on " The Coquette, by Miles Gerald Keon." They are animated by a touching and beautiful sentiment. The lady, in her old age, is seated at her cazement, and sings the fallowing:—• My heart is sinking With ever thinking Of him who wooed me in early life; He had scarce a rental, But his look was gentle, As, whisp'ring, he prayed me to be his wife. " I cannot proffer A wealthy coffer," — So ran his words in the days of youth,— " But your husband's glory , May be named in story, And you shall engross a heart of truth." But I answered slightly, Laughing so lightly, That my love was love of the rich and high, " And t' at I cared not, . Indeed, I dared not." And thus I rebuked him, I know not why. He bowed, and departed, Quite broken-hearted, And long I thought he might come once more; But, 0 my life's morning ! One pretence of scorning, Clouded the light which your moments bore. Thus my heart is sinking, As I still sit thinking How he prayed me softly to be his wife : Though small was the rental, The look was Co gentle, Of him who wooed me in early life. Acurious paper on "The Requiem Bell" follows, in which the antiquity of its use and the variety of its usages are narrated. In its every tone that voice seems to have been Lando Deem verum ; on Sundays, plebem voco ; and on jubilees, festo decoro ; but its most mournful cry was Defunctos ploro . 1 The illustrative recollections given upon these several heads betoken no inconsiderable re search. In the article " Upon the Prospects of Agri culture" we are pleased to rcrinrk that the author has no forebodings of ruin to our tenant farmers or landed proprietors, from those glorious measures of c-antnerc - al reform which are now, thank God, indelibly written on the •statute-book. But although his theory, that the conversion of arable land into pasture land Kill be a necessary and advantageous consequence of the unre stricted importation of foreign corn, is ingenious enough, we cannot conceive that it is based upon anything like substantial argument. The notions may be historically probable, but they are logically improbable. We anti cipate neither a preponderance in pasture nor in arable land, but an ultimate balance of both. In drawing out his scheme the writer has altogether overlooked the circumstance that butcher's meat and live cattle are being, and will continuo to be, very extensively im ported, as well as grain : now the ROIESIS imported no butcher's meat or cattle (or scarcely any) while they were wholly supplied with flour from abroad—the cotta sequence was they were obliged to depasture their herds at home. The deductions of the author go therefore for nothing in point of fact—in point of ingenuity and novelty they are clever. Of the memoir by the Roy. Charles Plowden, which is commenced in the present number, we shall refrain from expressing any opinion until it is further advanced. "A Plea for Eustace Budgell" is a singular effort to redeem the memory of that essayist from the obloquy with which it has been heretofore covered, and is written by the author of the " Vicissitudes of Illustrious Men," which series we are glad to see will be resumed next month. Without any question, the most delightful contribution in this nurn ber of Dolman is that upon " The Last of the Bona partes, Prince Napoleon Louis ;" it is charmingly written. From the recent escape of this unfortunate and adventur ous Prince, and from the romance which invests bis most illustrious name; from the agreeable elegance and sparkle of the composition, and from the fact of the authoress be ing apersonal acquaintance of this descendant of the Great Napoleon, we have no hesitation in calling her perform ance the best ma g azine article of the month. The pre sence of Prince Louis in London at this moment, only tends to enhance the interest of the narrative, and ren der it in all respects peculiarly apropos. There is a drollery in the self-badinage (if we may call it) of the writer, wbich is—(really we ca of no other word to exprees our meaning) From its piquancy and freshness we should ture the authoress to be young in the mysteries writing, but that in the more serious portions of the paper she discloses a perfect familiarity with those same mysteri, s. For the gratification of ladies who delight in the so-called science of Lavater, we will quote a sentence descriptive of the prince:—" He is well proportioned, about five feet seven inches in height, with light-brown hair, moustache, a good and high forehead, and mild countenance." In other words, the beau ideal of a preux chevalier. In the opinion of his accomplished memorialist, he may, with reasonable opportunities, prove hiuself " a great man hereafter." Dolman sustains its reputation. conjecture be correct ? In the "Voices from the Past," there is discoverable not only melody but feeling ; the writer had the perceptive faculties well developed we should imagine, and deep susceptibilities for the beauti ful and tender. "0, how I love to listen," and "I can't make up my mind," by I. ILI. are of a contrasting excellence, the former pensive, the latter playful. The poetical contributions which are, however, the most to our mind in this number are entitled " Bunlight upon the Waters," from the pen which produced the "Thiral Sonnets." From the number of composite phrases scattered through these sonnets upGn sunlight, we should imagine that the author has latterly become im bued with a fondness for the Anglo-German diction of Carlyle, for example, " atoms-shatter'd," " radiance flush'd," " storm : leaned," and the like. Nevertheless, this somewhat rugged concomitant does not deteriorate Either the music of the metre or fantastic delicacy of the imagery. After dilating upon the lustrous min gling of sunlight and water in the rainbow, comes this charming sonnet : "Lo ! on a lesser scale 'tis still the theme,— Spangling in dew-drops o'er the bladed grass; Bright'ning the shallows of the pebbled stream, Thro' which the naked-footed urchins pass; When in some reservoir, or large, or small, It draws the basking inmates to the brim, As, on their scales of gold and silver, fall Th' exhilirating rays in which they swim ; Or when some well-oar'd boat, in swift advance, Quickens the strokes from which the waters glance; Or when,•to take ler bath, th' imperial swan Flutters, for glee, the surface in her track, Stoops her arch'd neck, down-diving, and, anon, Showers liquid brilliants o'er her plumage-ruffled back." Such is the description of poetry introduced thus plenti fully into the pages of Hood, and we ere singularly mistaken if this difference from the ordinary run of magazine literature does not prove acceptable to its purchasers. Though we are haunted by the " Bush ranger," and the " White Cloud," and " Nell G wyune," and the "Serge of Antioch," we are so well satisfied with the other portions of this periodical that we close the number with satisfaction. THE COBDEN TESTIMONIAL. (From the Manchester Guardian.) Now that the question of the corn-law is set at rest, as we trust, for ever, the general and natural inquiry arises amongst men of all shades of opinion —what is to be done for him to whom we are indebted for the accom plishment of this stupendous change ? In what way can the gratitude of the public be most appropriately and most substantially manifested towards Mr. Cobden That to him, far more than to any ether individual, the repeal of the corn-kw is owing, no man doubts, what ever may be his opinions on the general question. On this point Lord George Bentinck and the editor of the Morning Post are perfectly agreed with the members and the organs of the League ; and we have now the testi mony to the same effect of men holding intermediate po sitions between those two parties. Sir Robert Peel, in addressing the House of Commons on Monday evening, paid the following just and well-turned tribute to the talents and the services of the lion. Member for Stock port : " I said before, and I said truly, that in proposing those measures I had no wish to rob others of the credit justly due to them. N I must say, with reference to Hon. Gentlemen opposite, as I say with reference to ourselves, neither of us is the party which is justly entitl, d to the credit of them. There has been a com bination of parties; and that combination, and the in fluence of Government, have led to their ultimate success; but the name which ought to be associated with the success of those measures is not the name of the Noble Lord, the organ of that party, nor is it mine. The name which ought to be. and will be associated with the success of those measures, is the name of a man who, acting, I believe, from pure and disinterested motives, has, with untiring energy, by appeals to reason, enforced their necessity with an eloquence the more to be admired because it was unaffected and unadorned; the name which ought to be associated with the success of those measures is the name of lUchard Cobden," To this estimate of the services which Mr. Cobden has rendered to the cause of free trade, Lord Palmerston expresed his hearty assent ; and the loud cheering which it elicited from all parts of the House, proved the general concurrence of the Members. Such being the unanimous opinion of all parties in reference to the im portant share which our highly-respected fellow towns man has had in bringing about the happy result at which we have now arrived, the question recurs—ln what way are his invaluable services to be acknowledged ? And here arises a point of some delicacy. If Mr. Cobden was, as many people have asserted, and many more believed, an opulent man, of course some public testimony of respect, in the form of a statue, or a service of plate, or, the erection of some public institution, might have presented the most appropriate means cf testifying the gratitude of his fellow-country men. But it is absurd to speak of Mr. Cobden as an opulent man, in the general and ordinary acceptation of the term. When he first devoted his best exertions to the great object which he has now so successfully ac complished, he was still a young man ; he had been but a few years engaged in business, and granting him to have been succeesful, as we believe he was, he could not have done more than lay the foundation of a mode rate fortune. Since that period, his time, his labour, his thoughts, have been entirely engrossed by the pub lic object to which he had devoted himself, to the utter neglect of his private affairs ; and we feel quite con fident that he cannot have done anything to increase his property. _ _ We are quite aware that these are details which may give some little pain ; but it is necessary that they should be placed fairly before the public, who might otherwise greatly misunderstand the grounds on which they are about to be appealed to for contributions to a testimonial, intended by its promoters to be in some de gree worthy of the great services which have been rendered. Mr. Cobden has devoted seven or eight years of the best years of his life to the attainment of a great public object ; he has disregarded his private inte rests, neglected a business by which he might have ac cumulated wealth ; and the question for the considera tion of the public is, whether they will permit the pecuniary loss which he has incurred in their service to be borne by himself, or whether they will step forward to indemnify him. If we know anything of the spirit which actuates, not merely our fellow-townsmen, but the supporters of free trade throughout the country, the) will not subject themselves to the charge of ingratitude on this occasion, but, on the contrary, they will show, by their contributions to the testimonial, that they desire to see Mr. Cobden placed in at least as good a position as he might have fairly expected to occupy, if he had employed his time and his talents in the accumulation of wealth, instead of devoting them with unparalleled energy and success to the service of his fellow-country men. We feel it necessary to state that for the preceding statements and remarks we alone are responsible. We have received no suggestion from, and held no communi cations with, any other parties on the subject. What we have learned, as we stated on a former occasion, is, that a number of gentlemen of all shades of opinion in politics have determined to set on foot a subscription for the purpose above named ; and that a meeting on the subject will be held to-morrow at the Town-hall, when the Mayor of Manchester is expected to take the chair; and we feel no doubt that the proceedings will be such as to do credit to those who take part in them, and to show that they are no less inclined to subscribe their money to acquit themselves of a debt of gratitude, than to secure a prospective advantage. UNIVERSITY COLLEGE, LONDON.

W. Freshfield, Esq ,of London, late solicitor to the F•ank of En and, has announced himself as a candi3ate for the suffrage 3of the united borough of Penryn and Falmouth, at the nex t ensuing election. Awe UL THUNDER STORM—On Monday, the 22d, one of 'the most terrific thunder storms visited the neigh bourho; xl of Sawrey ever remembered. Soon after noon thunder 7 was heard in the distance, and rolled almost continu ally unt it about five o'clock, when the storm began in earnest. The will d blew a complete hurricane; the air, for an hour and a h alf, seemed in one electric flame, and the thutader cracking without intermission. So near the ground wet; the electric i ire, that all who went out in the roads and amongst the hone es in Sawrey, felt just as if they had received a shock from a a trong electric machine. There were six young .men standiwz, together, who were all brought to the ground at once, and yet without sustaining the least harm. We are sorry to state that a cow belonging to John Sharp was killed. It woul d almost appear that the cow had been lifted from the ground and then thrown down upon its back, for the horns were stack into the ground up to the head. There was not a mark upon the animal, but its body was swelled as hard as a drum.. The great fury of this dreadful tempest (strange to say) did not exceed a mile square, and while the lower part of Estbwaite lake was foaming under the hurricane, the higher part was calm as a mirror ; and at Hawkshead, llownevs, Ambleside, and all the surrounding villages, it was only like an ordinary thunder-germ.— Westmoreland Gazette. . HOOD'S. A quaint old likeness of Ignezcle Castro, authentic in its very oddity, but by no means prepossessing as the countenance of a " ladie fair," precedes the second act of the drama of which she is the heroine. Rood has altogether assumed to itself the character of a poetical miscellany, rather than that of an ordinary magazine; nor do we observe anything discordant in this as regards the title, seeing that poor Thomas Hood, its originator, stands in a loftier position as a bard than as a humourist, scarcely approached as he is in the latter. We renew our acquaintance gladly with the 'Cabinet of Gems and Curiosities;" those for July being culled from Hogg, Drayton, Barnefield, Milton, Shaltspen, and others; but we confess ourselves surprised that, in treating of the nightingale, any reference to Keats's glorious ode to that melancholy songstress is omitted. Among the " Mis cellaneous Gems" we have dainty fragments ' - and what a delicious tho ug ht i s th at f rom M arston ' s " Gerald"— " A statue's silence—is the sculptor's voice." The verses to tho Rose, by Samuel Gower, are likewise brimming with beauty. There are some lines, entitled " The Picture Gallery," which we are fain to attribute tttf the accomplished actress Mis 3 Vandenhoa—ma our THE SPORTING MAGAZINE. Honour to " Pyrrhus the First," the hero of this year's Derby, whose likeness, by Hacker, from Her ring's picture, forms the frontispiece to the Sporting Magazine. Bateman's " Homeward Bound," which ap pears as the companion plate, is excellently, and even brilliantly illustrative of the subject.. The most singular innovations upon the usual literature of this monthly are, first and foremost " The Life of a Foxhound," capi tally conceived by John Mills ; and " The Adventures of a Hunter," from the random and rollicking Scribble. - It is strange, the notion never having entered into the imagination of the sportsman before, and doubly strange the two themes, so similar, appearing now together. It looks like a preconcerted resolution to astonish the sub scribers. No matter, however, to what the circumstance may be attributable, it is a capital idea, and promises rare merriment, and no little initiation into the myste ries of the field and the kennel. " Sound and Unsound Horses" is another paper well executed ; and, with a great bulk of other contributions, renders the July number better than usual. SIMMONDS'S COLONIAL MAGAZINE. "Progress of Discovery in Australia" is an interest ing narrative of the return of Captain Sturt's expedition, and is agreeably written, rather in a strain of accuracy than of elegance. A long poem, descriptive of the death of the Rev. Ernest Schlotz, and headed "The Missionary's Grave," is remarkable more for its length than for any intrinsic poetic force; the inferred moral, however, is instructive if not very impressive. From the statistical papers upon Van Diemen's Land and Antigua, much useful information may be gleaned; and the tables appear to be compiled with no inconsiderable care. Charles Hooton supplies the most readable por tital of the magazine, and the "Australian Sketches" are not devoid of an air of actuality. With its accus tomed amount of correspondence, and a pleasant sprink ling of miscellaneous sulijects, the Colonial for July is, as a whole, creditable to its indefatigable editor. TIIEFREEMASOIV'SQUAI!TERLY REVIE W. lye have repeatedly had occasion to notice the meri torious manner in which this publication is conducted; and, as far as its particular class. of readers is concerned, it need dread no " damning with faint praise." " The Freemason's Lexicon" alone, which is continued from number to number, must prove a most acceptable boon to all members of that mystic brother hood; while it evinces the earnest regard which the entrepreneur has to their interest. One of the best con tributions before us is the article upon the " Knights Templar," an order founded in 1110 by Pope Galasius. Though at the outset this celebrated order of knight hood consisted of only nine members, its numerical force increased rapidly under the foste ring influence of the Crusaders; but " the name of Templars was only conferred upon the members some time after the origi nal institution of the order. Baldwin 11. appears to have first christened them. By the Council of Trent, A.D. 1127, all the donations, privileges, lands, and ho nours granted by successive Pontiffs to the Knights Templars were fully confirmed; but they were subse quently, in 1186, scattered throughout Christendom when Jerusalem was captured by Saladin. Their prin cipal celebrity, as a wise, sagacious, and erudite race of men, devoted to a half-clerical, half-chivalric existence, dates from this period, when the Grand Master esta blished himself at Cyprus. They have since, after en jo) ing considerable political authority, dwindled down to a comparative insignificance, and still remain secretly in existence in various parts of Europe. This circumstance, nevertheless, we cannot induce ourselves to regret, as, however admirably their power might have influenced society many centuries back, we believe they woald be little better than a Quixotic raco of beings now-a-days. Their time has gone by—like many other orders, and like many empires and cities, they have flourished, have performed the duties for which they were summoned into being, and have fallen. The paper in connexion with the Associa tion, in the Freemason's Review, is a document found under the high altar of the Temple Church, Loudon, in 1540 ; it is an extraordinary curiosity. ALMANACK FOR TIIE MONTH. This little miscellany of wit, and whim, and jest, is favourably distinguished from its predecessors by a paper entitled " Painters and the Premier," for the in troduction of which the apology by which it is prefaced is not needed. The subject is the sad fate of poor Haydon, and every artist would do well to ponder over the following sensible observations to which his melan choly history has given rise : " Haydon's history reads a terrible lesson to the aspirant after honour as a historical paintereen a large scale. It may be that the decoration of the new Houses of Parliament is but the dawn of a demand for nobler works than can be easily accommodated in the private gallery, and which are altogether excluded by size from the boudoir or the drawing room. If so, there may still be hope for the historical painter. But the advice which we feel strongly urged by the sad fate of R. B. Hayden to impress on the young artist, is to strive after the elements of high art which are to be found in lowly, but not vulgar, subjects. " That there is, fur example, a field which nestles under the shadow of the domestic affections, as truly now, as when Raphael painted his Madonnas—types to all time of maternal love and matfonly purity—is proved by such pic tures as the " Mother and Child" of Leslie in this year's ex hibition. That the colourist need not work on the scale of Titian's canvasses, if it needed proof, is evident from the brilliant " Mulready" which lights up the same walls. In fact, we would recommend to the artist that attention to the conditions of time and place which we fear poor Haydon not only neglected, but systematically trampled under foot. These conditions were scrupulously observed by the old masters. 'lt is in these conditions that we find explanations of the strangest peculiarities of form in canvasses, and what without them would Le oddity in the arrangement of de signs. "Just as much as Teniers differed from Titian, though on different grounds, should an English artist of the nineteenth century depart from the practice of an Italian religious painter of the fourteenth, or a transcriber of Flemish in teriors of the seventeenth. It is the spirit of art which is im mortal. Its forms change like all other external manifeita- Cons. While we demand of the artist this study of his own time, and its requirements, we demand nothing inconsistent with the highest and purest devotion to art. It is his bounden duty, as an interpreter of the beautiful, to seek for it in the haunts where its existence is least suspected, and to bring it forth in forms with which it is usually held to be in consistent or at least incongruous." THE UNION. The • " Painter and Critics," with which the present number opens, is an exceedingly well-told anecdote of an incident in the life of Mignard, who painted a Magda lene so completely in the style of Guido, that it was sold for a large price as a genuine Guido, and was pro nounced to be genuine even by Le Brun, when, to the utter confusion of the critics, Mignard came forward and proved that it was his work. The novel of " William Fleming" is continued, and the . comparative view of the rise and progress of Liberty in England and France is concluded. " Sketches of British Landladies," which are commenced in the present number, promise well. We have also the first of a series of papers on the Jesuits, in which the author gives a sketch of the life of the founder of the order. In addition to these papers we have a variety of light magazine articles, and the number is illustrated by four engravings by Mason. THE DUCHESS OF NORTHUMBERLAND'S FETE CRAM rETßE.—Tuesday afternoon the Duchess of Northumberland gave the last of a series of these fetes champetre at Sion House, Isleworth. The weather was rather unsettled, but from the admirable provision afforded in the mansion not the least in convenience was experienced by the numerous visitors. The full band of the Royal Horse Guards (Blue), under the direc tion of Mr. Tutton, was stationed on the lawn, and rendered the 'scene most enlivening by their musical performances. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge, attended by Baron Knesebeck and Lady Augusta Cadogan, arrived at half-past five. The Duke of Wellington was among the early arrivals, and 'Sir Robert and Lady Peel came shortly after six o'clock. Her Higbnass Princess Grassallcoviek and the Countess Murray came em-ly. His Highness Ibrahim Pacha, accompanied by Major Dickson, Sami. Pacha, Colonel Banton, and M. Nubar, arrived at six o'clock, and remained until nearly eight o'clock, The dejeuner was announced shortly after six o'clock, and it is needless to remark com prised every luxury that wealth could procure. The Ethiopian singers were engr iged, and afforded much enter tainment to the company. LONDON COACHMAKERS' BENEVOLENTINSTITUTION.— On Wednesday a half-yearly • meeting of this institution was held at the Red Lion, lii ng• street, Golden-square. The chair was taken by Mr. Wil ham Savage, the president. The institution was founded in 1 1829, for the relief of aged and in firm coachmakers, trimrn cars, and harness-makers,9 their widows and orphans. The annual subscription constituting membership is 125., and I kir.; pensions allowed are 1 5 guineas per annum to a male pen kJiier and 10 to a widow; the al lowance to orphans is not ,tio exceed 101. for the same period to one family. The am(' gilt of funded property possessed by the society is upwards of :4001.

STATEMENT SHOWING THE EXACT STATE OF, AND THE PROGRESS MADE IN THE SURVEY OF IRELAND UP TO THE PRESENT TIME. The Townland Survey of Ireland, on the scale of six inches to one mile, is finished, and the maps of 31 counties on that scale are published. The engraving of the county of Kerry, which is the only unpublished county, is nearly com pleted, and the maps will be published in about three months. Plans on a large scale have been completed for 126 of the principal towns, and those of the city of Dublin are in pro gress of engraving. The revision of the maps of the Northern Counties com menced iu September 1844; 631 square miles are completed. Contour Lines have been surveyed and laid down on the six- inch plans of the counties of Kilkenny, Louth, and 1,107 square miles of Donegal. Hill sketches for the one-inch map have been made for 13 counties, viz., Londonderry, Antrim, Tyrone, Donegal, Fermanagh, Armagh, Down, Monaghan, Cavan, Leitrim, Sligo, Mayo, and Roscommon, and for parts of Louth and Galway. A historical and statistical memoir of the parish of Tern plemore, including the city of Londonderry, was published in 1837. The continuation of this work has not been autho rised. The report of the Commissioners appointed to inquire into the facts relating to the Ordnance memoir of Ireland, contains, at page .5, a detailed return of the information col lected under these heads, and n©w deposited in the Ordnance Survey Office, Dublin.—(See Parliamentary Papers, S. ssion 1814, vol. 30.) A geological memoir of the county of Londonderry, and parts of Antrim and Tyrone, was published in 1843. The extensive collections of specimens of natural history in the departments of geology, mineralogy, zoology, and botany, made during the progress of the survey, have been trans ferred to the Chief Commissioner of Woods and Forests, In conformity with the order of the Master-General and Board of Ordnance, dated 17th November, 1845. :tcruaN OF OFFICERS OF NEERS AND OTHERS, WI THE ORDNANCE SURVE' MARCH OF EACH YEAR, ii COR: :0 HAVE C OF IRK FROM 183 i Officers.

A journeyman baker, of Birkenhead, named Thomas Hallwick, anticipating a complete revolution in his trade by the operation of free traffic in the bread stuffs of America, determined to be beforehand with the age, and go out to New York to be instructed in the Yankee method of making maize and chopped straw palateable. Two heads being, in Thomas's opinion, better than one in all deeds of " high emprise," he proposed to a cenaely looking servant girl, of Liverpool, to link her lot with his, and try the chances of the world of freedom for whites and slavery for niggers beyond the Atlantic. The fair damsel blushed consent, and straightway left the kind mistress with whom she had been lone. b a tried and trusty, though humble friend and servant, to better her condition. She went to reside for three weeks with an aunt in Birkenhead, to fulfil the requirements of the law ; and having been duly asked, under the provisions of the Dissenters' Marriage Bill, his reverence was waited upon, and the "happy day" fixed. Yester day morning the parties were all assembled at the Roman Catholic meeting house in Birkenhead, the ring was ready, and a car was waiting at the door to convey them, after the ceremony, to the beach, whence they were to embark, at one o'clock, in " a liner," then lying in the river, for " the land of promise." An awkward delay now occurred, in consequence of the non-appearance of the superintendent registrar, or his deputy, to legalise their proceedings ; and the patience of " his Reverence" being exhausted, the aunt of the bride was dispatched in search of the truant official, and she speedily returned with the heart-rending intelligence that he was at Knutsford Sessions, on town ship affairs which would not brook his absence. Hav ing somewhat recovered from the stunning effects of this piece of news, the bride and her aunt went to the office of the official to try whether this difficulty could not be surmounted : and after due inquiry, it was dis covered that another registrar, who was then in Liver pool, could give legal force to the contract, and for him there was forthwith such " running and searching," as had never been, seen since the lovely bride of Nether by was abducted by Young Lochinvar. At length he was found, and, on reaching the meeting-house, a new difficulty had arisen : one certificate had been issued by the absent deputy, and a :second could not be made until that had expired. Another delay now took place, until at length an unobtrusive letter, lying at the police office, was found to contain the missive, which had been sent per post from Knutsford. Twelve o'clock was now fast approaching, beyond which mystic hour no hymeneal torch could be lighted, and, with desperate haste, " his Reverence " coupled the swain and damsel as they thought " until death did them part ;" but, unfortunately, when the necessary documents were to be signed, it was found that the two parties had each resided in different parishes, and only one certificate was forthcoming. The marriage was, therefore, null and void. The feelings of the no longer " happy pair," at having the cup of bliss dashed from their lips, " may be imagined, but cannot be described;" and we have not heard whether the baker prevailed upon his half-wedded spouse to share his fortunes, and trust to a more fortunate " chapter of accidents," really to make the twain one flesh, when they arrive in Ame rica.—Liverpool Courier. CoAclllNG.—Since the opening of the North British Railway, the Iligliflyer and Quicksilver coaches, from New castle to Edinburgh by the western road, now run between Berwick and Newcastle, in addition to the mail, the Magnet, Union, and Royal William. The coaches between Edin burgh and Berwick are discontinued. As the greater por tion of the traffic between the two countries will, until the completion of the Caledonian Railway, be brought by this route, it is doubted whether these six coaches will be suffi- 7 mut for its conveyance, and several others will, in all pro bability, be put upon the road. Two of them, we believe, will run from Berwick to Newcastle, via Wooler.—Scotch Paper. CORONER'S INQUEST.—Weincsday forenoon, at nine o'clock, an investigation adjourned from Monday last, was resumed and concluded before Mr. Wakley, M.P., coroner for the western division of Middlesex, and a jury, at the Rum Puncheon, Cross-street, Drury-lane, with respect to the death of Martha Grogan, aged three years, the daughter of a greengrocer, residing at 29, Charles-street, alleged to have died from the effects of mercurial pills administered to her by a retired officer of the East India Company, residing in Museum-street, Bloomsbury, and who, although an amateur medical practitioner, went by the cognomen of " Dr. Lowe." The inquiry excited a very great sensation, and a number of distinguished members of the faculty were present. The in quiry was adjourned for the production of " Dr. Lowe," who was stated to be 94 years of age. After a lengthened inquiry the jury ultimately came to the following verdict :—" We find that the deceased died from natural causes, but at the same time we strongly reprehend the practice adopted by Mr. Lowe, cf administering medicine proved to be of an injurious character, and the more so he being totally ignorant of me dical practice." The rumour referred to in our City article on Tuesday, relative to the intentions of the new Ministry to bring in a Bill, before the end of the session, to prohibit any calls being made for twelve months on any railway scheme sanctioned this session, is, we believe, quite correct. This we know, that its accuracy is vouched for by persons who may be sup posed to be in the confidence of the embryo Cabinet.— Adrertiscr. CIIINESE PROFESSORSHIP.--A subscription, amoun ing to upwards of 1,0001., has been made to the Council o King's College, for the purpose of endowing a Chinese Pro. fessorship. Among the promoters of this praiseworthy ob ject are the names of the. Duke of Portland, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Bexley, Lord Ashley, and Lord Fran • cis Egerton (now Earl Ellesmere and Viscount Brackley) : ADVENTURES or A. CAT.—Many wonderful stories are told of the astonishing instinct displayed by cats in re turning to places from which they have been removed, but we think the instance we are about to record, and which we can vouch for as perfectly authe ntic in ever y particular, is equal in strangeness to any anecdote of the feline race now extant. A fine large grey tom-cat was, in November last, brought in from Innerleithen, per carrier, packed up in a basket, to a family residing in Leith-walk. It remained there for about three months, and had become thoroughly domesticated in its new abode. At the end of that time, namely, early in February, it was transferred to a family in Scotland-street, but with them it remained only two days, when it found an opportunity to escape. No more was heard of Tom till about three weeks ago, when, to the utter astonish ment of his original owner, he made his re-appearance at In , narleithen, worn and weary, but bearing unmistakeable tokens of his idendity. How he managed to subsist through the interval of four months, or what guide he had through the thirty miles of country between Innerleithen, over and streams, and cultivated fields, and barren moors, which he had never traversed before, save in the covered basket, must, we suppose, remain for ever a mon g the mysteries of natural history.—Edinburgh Advertiser. SCIENTIFIC MISSION OF COUNT CASTELNAU TO SOUTH AMERICA.—The Count de Castelnau, who was sent on a scientific mission by the French Government to South America, has just se nt in the following report to the Mi n i s t er of Public Instruction :—:" Lima, Jan. 26, 181.6. Monsieur le Ministre,—After travelling two years and a half in the in terior of the continent, we have reached Lima by Arequipa. The distance we have travelled over, including our excur sions, is above 2,500 leagues. I already have had the honour of informing your Excellency of our arrival at Chuquisaca ; fromi mines, s t , ha o t ne t e ow so n w ep p roceeded to Potosi, famed for its silver m rich, now so poor. For five-and-twenty leagues from that place our road lay through most difficult passes of the highest sumitts of the Andes; the gigantic condor is the only inhabitant of these barren regions where vegetation is extinct. The road then improves, and, once on the great Bolivian table-laud, remains flat till you reach La Paz, though still in a barren region, where the rarefaction of the air, owing to the great elevation, causes the painful sensation know under the name of sarrache. These vast tracts of table-land abound in large herds of llamas and merinos—the latter are wild. Passing by Oruro, we reached La Paz, where the ambulant govern ment of Bolivia was established. The anniversary of the battle of Ingari was being celebrated. Oa reaching the shores of Lake Titicaca, we perceived the celebrated ruins of the ancient palace of the Incas of Tiaguanaco. One of the gateways is an admirable piece of workmanship, and we took different drawings of it. We entered Peru by the Bridge of Desaguadero. Having reached Puno amidst vio lent and incessant storms of snow and hail, I deemed it advisaVe to relinquish for the moment our intended route to Cuzco, and to proceed along the coast to Lima, with the intention of returning to Cuzco after the rainy season. I therefore struck in the direction of Arequipa, and thence to Lima. When we have taken the rest we are so much in need of, we will turn our steps towards Cuzco, whence we will endeavour to join the Amazon river, by embarking on the Apurimac. This will take us across the whole length of the Pampa del Sacramento, and presents many dangers to be overcome. I take the liberty of sending you a list of the different objects forwarded for the Museum of Natural His , tery."isa; coTamv. OF ROYAL ENGI- BEEN EMPLOYED ON :LAND, ON THE 31ST 03 To 1846.

NOTTINGHAM, WEDNESDAY.—A shockin ee discovered here this morning —the suicide o and it is feared that to the heavy crime of s - yet deeper offence of parricide must be added. gi yAv m The two brothers alluded to were William - Viti c SaWer''` — a AT - Collyer, both joiners, residing in Coal-court, Parliament street, of the respective ages of 36 and 32. Their father (also named Samuel) was 73 years old, and possessed 14 houses in the court, but the property is so heavily mortgaged as to be really of little value. The family also included a young woman named Elizabeth, aged 37, of whom more anon. The father and his sons lived together, and were of most singular habits; latterly they employed no female ser vant, but washed, cooked, &c., themselves. On the Gth of August, 1842, a discovery was made which brought the family under the public notice. A man named Charles Pearce, in passing the house, heard a cry of murder, and on looking through the cellar grating, perceived the young woman, and one of her brothers beating her. He immedi ately informed the police, and the matter was investigated. The young woman was found in the cellar, miserably clad, having on only an old coat, a ragged flannel petticoat, and a nightcap. She was also in a most wretched state of filthi ness ; her hair was dishevelled, and her finger nails were de scribed in the local press at the time as being like a bird's claws. The brothers denied the ill-treatment, and alleged that their sister being insane could not be kept in a more decent state. The poor woman was eventually removed to the Asylum, where she has been ever since. The neighbours, however, were far from satisfied, and have uniformly treated the family with great shyness. The father and the eldest son have also seemed to grow very dejected ; • but the youngest went about as usual, col lected the rents, and behaved, in short, as if nothing had happened. About five o'clock this morning, Charles Sewell, a rope maker, employed by Mr. Baker, went to work in a field near Shaw's-lane, and on going into the shed, to his great alarm . found the two men suspended within two feet of each other, from the roof, one by a pair of braces, and the other by a cord. Sewell ran for assistance, and the bodies were cut down ; but, though they were warm, life was quite extinct. Information was of course given to the police, who im mediately proceeded to their house, but the old man was missing. It. appears that at two o'clock on Sunday morning, the driver of the London train passed him on the Midland Railway, near Beeston, and having taken in the train returned with the engine to see who he was. Col lyer told him that he had missed the road, and had therefore come on the lice, hoping, thereby, to find his way to Not tingham. . . _ fie was taken to the station, but soon afterwards he was allowed to go away; and he has not been heard of since. What has become of him is, therefore, a matter of mere con jecture, but the circumstances of both sons choosing the same time and place to commit self-destruction has given rise to very grave suspicions. A. rumour is afloat that the old man has been found drowned in the canal at Lenton, about two miles from the town. In the house of the deceased, which was miserably fur nished, and appeared to have been ransacked, two shillings and threepence, several ancient coins, and four or five pawn tickets, were the only articles found that require particular mention. THE LATE MURDER and SUICIDE AT BRIGHTON WORKHOUSE. BaIGUTON, WEDNESDAY.—An inquest on the bodies of the woman Norman and her infant child was held this morn ing,before F. H. Gell, Esq., coroner. The jury having been sworn proceeded to view the bodies, which were lying on a bed in the upper part of the house. On their return the evi dence was gone into. Mr. Samuel Thorncroft, the assistant overseer of Brighton, deposed—Early in November last the woman Norman ap plied to me for relief, and a few days after to be admitted into the workhouse. She was admitted with her three children, of the ages of nine, seven, and the deceased infant. Another child is living in London. Her parish was St. Mary's, Islington. I did not notice that. her mind seemed affected, but she talked about her station in life and the manner in which she was brought up. She seemed to want to get back to her parish. She said she could not bring up her children without a servant, which would cost her 21. a week, and she wished to remain in the house till her husband was discharged from prison, for housebreaking. The deceased woman was 36 years old. She was of good education, and told me she had been brought up in a board ing -school, at her uncle's expense. The coroner added that her father's name was Parker. Mr. Rugg, a parish surgeon, deposed to having attended deceased regularly for the last ten days. She complained of nervousness and lowness of spirits, and speaking of her child's weaning said she had but little milk, and that the suckling hurt her and the child too. Her illness was more mental than bodily, and she seemed a woman of strong feeling. Saw her on Monday, at noon, when she appeared more rational, and spoke with gratitude of the kindness received from the matron. Saw her again the following morning quite dead, with her throat cut. The child's throat was also cut, and the windpipe cut through, but the child lived a few hours. The knife with which the murder was committed is a blunt one, and escaped the jugular vein in the child's throat in a singular manner. Witness thought a temporary flow of blood had produced insanity. The governor of the workhouse, Mr. John Bartlett, deposed that the deceased woman always had every indulgence. She appeared a kind mother, and sometimes, witness thought, too indulgent. She avoided speaking of her husband. She lived twenty minutes after she cut her throat. Deborah Jenkins, an inmate of the workhouse, deposed to sleeping in the same room as the deceased woman. She complained on Monday of a pain at the top of her head. She asked a number of questions, and looked very wild, and her eyes seemed much larger. She asked if witness would be kind to her children. Witness replied she would be kind to the baby. She then asked witness how her mother died, and witness said she was burnt to death. She cried about her boys, and said they would be left fatherless and motherless. She said, "Oh dear, Deborah," and shook wit ness's hands. She said she must die, and before that day week. She had a Bible in her hand. Deceased had the baby with her up to half-past nine on Tuesday morning. She said to the baby in the morning, "Bless your little lips," and told witness that she had prayed all night that it might die. Witness gave Mrs. Tomkins the baby at half-past six. Susan French, another inmate, deposed she was with de ceased till half-past nine in the morning, when deceased and child were in bed together. She left the room for about two minutes, and when she returned deceased was standing bleeding from a gash in her throat. Deceased did not speak. A thought struck witness of the child, and upon running into the room she found the child lying in a pool of blood with its throat cut. Deceased, before the act, expressed her self very anxious to see her two other children, which the matron would not allow. The jury returned a verdict " That the deceased destroyed herself and child in a fit of insanity." RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. BRISTOL, JULY 1.
