The effect of " bad times" on the number of marriages is strikingly apparent in this number of the Registrar-General's report. Li 1839 the number of marriages was 123,166 ; in 1340, 122,665 ; In 1141, 122,456 ; and in 1842, 118,825. DEALERS ANTIQUITIES.—An action was lately brought by an old lady against a dealer in curiosi' les. for cheating her In the matter of antiques. Her taste was not limited to the odditiss of the present day, and in the dealer she found a person per fectly inclined to gratify her with wonders. lie had sold her a model of the Alexandrian library, a specimen of the original type invented by Memncn the Egyptian, and a manuscript of the first play acted by Thespls. These had not exhausted the stock of the dealer; he pos sessed the skin of a giraffe, killed in the Roman amphitheatre, the head of King Arthur's spear, and the breeeli of the first cannon fired at the siege orCoirtantinople. The jury, however, thought that the virtuoso having ordered these curiosities, ought to pay for them. and brought in a verdict for the dealer.—Bluedirood. LONDON IlesprrAL.—On Tuesday afternoon a speeial meeting of the governors and supporters of this charity was held at the board-room in the hospital. From the report of the honortry secretary, W. B. Bathurst, Esq., it appears that during the past year a more than usual number of distressed poor have applied for and received relief and medicine from the establishment, besides the surgical operations daily performed in the cases of accidents, &c. The number of in-patients admitted during the year, was 1,397 ; accidents, 2,030; extra cases received without a letter of recom mendation- from a governor, 288. Accidents were also admitted without letters of recommendation. The number of casual or out patients during the same period was 15,485. Making a total num ber of patients who have been cured or relieved la the course of last year, 19,110. Independent of these cases, there was an average of eight patients weekly requiring the in-door treatment ; but in con sequence of the want of room in the institution, were treated as out patients. The 106th anniversary festival will be celebrated at the London Tavern, on the 23d instant, at which his Royal el.ghness the Duke of Cambridge has intimated his willingness to preside. ACCIDENTS ON THE NEWCASTLE AND CARLISLE RAILWAYS.—On Monday morning, as the first train on the above line was 'proceeding eastward, and when it had arrived near to the Four-stone's station, a flock of sheep were observed to be on the line. The engine man at ones blew the whistle and shut off the steam, to prevent mischief, but the momentum which the train had acquired was too great to be subdued in time, and consequently the train ran amongst the sheep, killing about nineteen, and severely In juring many others. The driver was not at all to blame, as he used every means to stop the train on first seeing the sheep on the line. The sheep, it IS supposed, had strayed out of a field which adjoins the line. On the same after noon another accident occurred on the same railway, near the Blaydon station. The afternoon train, which leaves Carlisle at two o'clock, had arrived at Stella, near where the turnpike crosses, when a horse and cart were observed coming down the hill towards the line, at a furious rate; the train came up Just at the time the cart was passing, and killed the horse on the spot, shivering the cart to pieces ; the driver, strange to say, escaped with no other injuries than a scratch on the face and a slight wound on his head, occa sioned by being thrown out of the cart against a wall. The fore wheels of the engine were thrown off the line by the concussion, but the Redheugh train being waiting, took the passengers up, and pro ceeded with but little delay. The horse and cart belonged to Mr. Smith, brewer and farmer, Winlaton ; and it is stated that the driver was intoxicated at the time of the occurrence. WINCHESTER COLLEGE.—It is intended to establish scholarships in the University of Oxford, for the benefit of scholars from Winchester College, as a tribute to the memory of the late Dr. G o dd ar d. Upwar ds of 1,2004 have already be aubleritoed, I feel exceedingly indebted for the courtesy and con sideration evinced by the Committee of Selection in sug gesting the arrangement proposed in your letter ; but since my objection to serve upon Committees on English tod Scotch private Bills is founded upon the relations at present subsisting between my country and Great Bri tain, and not upon a regard for my own personal con venience, I must rcfer to my former coma:inflict:Um, as announcing my final determination. I have the honour to be your obedient faithful servant, WILLIAM S. O'BRIEN. To tht.: Chairman of the Committee of Selection. A performance of Parry's licl , hazzar's Feast, Men. delasohn's 114th, and 113ydri's Service No. 2, was an. nounced for April 24th inst. In the park o Malty aison, recently purchased, with its chateau, by Queen Christina, her Majesty has erected a Gothic chapel, under the direction of M. Sureda, the archi tect, in the style of the S.:jute-Chapelle, at the Palais de Justice. The walls are to be covered with mural paintings, in the fashion of the thirteenth century; and M. Henri de Gerente has just finished one of five windows which are to enrich the arch. The one completed represents St. Augustin, the patron saint r:f the Duke de Rianzares. The other sub jets will be, Si. Christina, the patron of the Quen-Mother ; the Holy Virgin ; Isabella of Hungary, the patron saint of the Queen of Spain; and St. Louis, the patron of the Infanta Louise. The great gate will be surmounted by a rosace of stained glass, richly executed. The arms of Castile, of Leo, of Grenada, and of France, succeed each other on a ground of blue.—Ailienceurz. PIERS AND lIARDOIHIS.—It appears, from a return issued by the House of Commons, that tolls are now autho rised to be levied for the maintenance of piers and harbours at the following places, on the coast of Great Britain and Ireland :—Whitby ' Scarborough, Dover, Ramsg a t e , an d Bridlington. At Whitby, the receipts of tolls from sth of January, 1838, to sth January last, amounted to 21,0111.95. 4d. ; . and at Scarborough, to 4,0201. 6s. 7d. But in the latter case (according to the decision in August last at the York as sizes, in the case of " Mayor, &c., of Scarborough v. John nason") the revenue from this source is lost to the piers and harbours of Scarborough. At Dover, the receipts during the same period have been on an average of 9,3001., or 9,4001. per annum; and at Ramsgate, between 18,0001. and 19,000/, also per annum. At the Bridlington piers and harbours the receipts have been between 1,7001. and 1,800/. a year. ntley Oyes us this month among its "leading arti cles," "Brian Olinn ; or, Luck is Every Thing." The story is well sustained, and the pleasant manner in which it is narrated adds a charm to it, and occasions a feeling of regret when the author and ourselves part company. " ip perary Hall," is lively, clever, and spirited, and promises to be a favour:te re-union for the readers of Bentley. We have also "a Memoir of Flora Macdonald," by Charles White head, with a beautiful portrait by A. Ramsay. "The Scat of War, the Sikhs and the Punjab," by Dr. W. C.

The managers of this Miscellany deserve commendation for leading the public, as in above instance, to a more improving style of reading than is now generally found in the host of monthly tions launched from the press. We confidently recommend this month's number to our readers.—Bridgewater Times. THE HIGHLANDMAN'S CURE.—A true son of the Gaelic and the tartan, on a journey last week from his heather-clad hills to the Fair city, had unfortunately, not withstanding the well known capabilities of the Scottish mountaineer to endure fatigue, broken doe - n when he reached Banlsfoot. A Highlander must be very ill when in pursuit of a purpose he is compelled to give in, but so was the case with OUT present friend. Besides inward ails, one of his feet was sorely lacerated, and exhausted; crippled and suffering se verely, he took up his lodgings in an inn inßankfoot. Having seated himself by the fire, he engaged a bed for the night, and had partly doffed his habiliments to get into it, when he re membered his condition, and bethought himself of the remedy. No one need ask what that was, for nothing is more proverbial than that whisky is the Higland cure for every sort ofailmen4 external as well as internal. Our friend therefore ordered half a mutchkin of " double." The half he applied as an in side balsam, and with the other half he commenced rubbing his sore foot. While performing this operation, he necessarily required to examine his wounds with the candle, and in doing so, unluckily, the aqua vita caught fire ; and in an instant the foot and half mutchkin stoup were in a blaze. Down went the hand that was rubbing the foot to dispel the low, but, alas, it took fire too, and carried the flame up his leg. Both hands were then put in requisition, but the more he rubbed to subdue the flame the more it increased. Nevertheless Donald continued at his labour, notwithstanding the agony he endured, with heroic fortitude, and would have per. severed until the spirit of the whisky had been exhausted had not his night garment taken fire. This was too much. He fairly gave in and roared out murder. The landlord hurried in, and in a second a couple , of buckets of water were dashed upon him. These extinguished the flames, but Donald's injuries were such that he had to take a conveyance to Perth next day, and has not yet been able to take the road home.—Perthshire Courier. GARRETT V. ADAMS AND OTHERS. (Special Jury.) For the plaintiff were Mr. Sergeant Talfourd, Mr. Whately, Q C., Mr. Alexander, Q.C., Mr. Greaves, and Mr. Dowdeswell ; for the defendant, Mr. Keating and Mr. Selfe. Mr. Sergeant TALFOU RD, rising on behalf of the plain tiff, said that his client was a Mr. Edmund Garbett, an attorney living at Wellington, Salop, and that the de- ' fendants were gentlemen of the highest respectability, namely, Mr. Sergeant Adams, Mr. Blandfor. , , Mr. Webster, and Mr. Holcombe, This case, like the pre ceding, arose cut of railway transactions • the defendant, Mr. Sergeant Adam s, havin g b een , in detober la t, the (.11 irmsn, art d the other defendants committeemen of the Shropshire Min ral Railway Company. Mr. Aehims, the nephew of the Learned Sergeant, and a Mr. Yar borough, his partner, were the London sol'citers, anti the plaintiff was appointed the country solicitor, in which office he continued to act until about a week ago. Some little time since the company had fallen into disunion, and Garbett delivered in his bill amount ing to 1,853/. 7s. 101., of which he had been paid 1,0101, leaving a balance claimed by him of 8431. is. 10,1., be sides which he demanded 3041. commission on 4,000 shares disposed of by him for the company, independ ently of this other claim. Application was made to the Master of the Rolls to tax the bill, and be made an order to that effect, directing further proceedings in the meantime to be stayed. In addition, however, to the othe r debt, the plaintiff made a further demand for Is-IL, alleged to have been incurred for services per formed subsequently to those particularised in the pre vious bill, and also for advertisements and other ex pense?, whereupon the order of the Master of the Rolls was amended, to allow the action to proceed in respect or these letter items. The present cause was confined to the claim accruing since the 7th of January, and 304/. for commission on shares, which it was maintained the company had agre, d to pay, independently of all retnuneratiun for professional services. The first plea upon the record alleged that no signed bill had been de livered; in reply to which it was urged that, as regarded the sum claimed for commission, no signed bill was re quired, as that constituted a debt due to the plaintiff, irrespective of his character of attorney. The defend ants, however, denied the existence of any such agree ment as that to which the plaintiff referred. The first witness, Henry Pooley, was then called and examined by Mr. WHATELY—He stated : Last August I became secretary to the Shropshire Mineral Railway, and continued in that capacity till February last; I attended the meetings of the committee during the in tervening period. Mr. Sergeant Adams, Mr. Blandford, Mr. Webster, and Mr. Holcombe also attended those meetings. All th e reso l ut i ons of the committee were reduced t o wr i t i ng. There were s everal discussions about the com m i ss i ons paya bl e t o the country agents. I present stehaat next agre e m d e thatetmeeting he a s w tu k l d after, b f t e e r, was at a m eet i ng at Newport, at w hi c h Mr. Webster was present, Brown upon an o ccas i on w hen Mr. Bwn had claimed commissio n f or di spos i ng o f some s hares. The member s paid,Sergeant and Adams d was am s paid. as in the eh • . . Cheques, I believe, were signed at that meeting -au in order t o m ake the above payment. Direc tions were given to me to write to the local agents that they should have commissions on the shares disposed of by them • This was about two months before the meet ing at Newport. Mr. Garbett local agent. All . was a the local agents were , • ' • solicitors. 1 000 or 2,000 shares were allotted on Garbett's recommendation. Cross - examined by M r . HEATING—AII the time that .I.iyas secretary M r. Gar b ett was th e c o untry solicitor. I do not know that the duties of the country solicitor and local agent were dissimilar. He attended the board meetings, they did not. The meeting at New port was about the sth of December. Mr. Webster was present on that occasion. The resolutions re specting the local agents were then agreed upon. I only attended one meeting at Newport. The claim by Brewn for commission was discussed. He sought about' 300/. or over; be accepted 301. odd. That was not the first meeting at which the claims of local agents had been discussed. The country agents and solicitors ful filled the same kind of duties. Re-examined by Mr. Wile:l-ELY—Yarborough and Adams vere the London solicitors to the Company. _ Here a s uggest i on was o ffered by the Learned Chief Baron, to the effect that, in his opinion, the point at issue would be mor e f a i r l y d ea l t w i t h by submitting it to the Master, as he (the Learned Judge) was of opinion that the items particularised by the, plaintiff were taxable by that officer. THE HOUSELESS POOR.- The asylums in Whitecross street and East Smithfield were closed last week, having been opened but six weeks, the shortest period of any winter since their establishment. The total number admitted.At the former was 3,471, and to the latter 2,362, being 1,701 men and 661 women and children. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. John Jones, a good-looking youth, between thirteen and fourteen years of age, of superior manners, and dressed in very showy style, was charged with atttmpt lug to pick pockets. Mr Rebineon, the solicitor, attended on his behalf. William Jones, one of the constables belonging to the Mendicity Seel( ty, stated that between, five and six o'clock yesterday afternoon he saw the prisoner with four other youths of much the same appeararce as him self, in New Bend-street, following two lathes oho were walking arm-in-arm. The prisoner was close, behind them, in the centre of his companions, who were sereening him from observation. Witness saw him put his hand to the ladies' dresses, and feel for their pockets; they followed the ladies to the Burlington-arcade, and at the entrance the prisoner again attempted their pockets. The ladies went into the Arcade. Witness followed, and asked if they had lost anything ; they said they had not. The prisoner and his companions then went into Burlington-gardens, where he followed up another lady in a similar manner, and witness saw him take hold of her dress and put his hand to her left side pocket. He then seized him, on which he threw something away, believed to be a pair of scissors. He was secured, but his companions made cif and escaped. . Mr. HARDWICK asked if the prisoner was known?— The constable said, he had been pointed out to several of the force that morning, but nothing was known of him. The prisoner said he was merely w alking along quietly, when the constable seized him. Mr. HAnnwrcK—How do you get your living?— Prisoner—l am residing with my mother, at No. 2, Albert-terrace, Surrey-road, Blackfriars-road. Mr. HARDWICK. remanded the prisoner until Tuesday next, and directed that in the interim inquiry should be made respecting him. Lownox, Arum 9.—Wind .N.W., light breeze, and fine, clear wsatber.

IRONMASTERS QUARTERLY MEETING.—W'JLVER- Q,N,trTON, WEDNESDAY.—The ironmastcrs' quarterly meet ing was held here to-day. The attendance was good, and great anxiety was evidently felt as t , the present positi on and prospects of the iron trade. There were a good many orders and offers announced at reduced rates; but none were accepted, and the business done was of a trifling character at present rates—viz., pig, 4/.155. to 51. 10s.; bar, 101.; rail way iron, 101. to 11/. per ton. One master, who does a large business, stated that an order at a reduced rate was handed to him, which he traced as having gone through twelve dif ferent masters, by whom it was refused; but another master stated that he was aware of the fact that a good many orders at reduced rates were actually in progress of being executed, having been taken nominally at the rates fixed by the last meeting, but with an understanding that a heavy deduction would be made in the shape of discount. In these circum stances the meeting at Birmingham to-morrow is expected to be a stirring one. A few days ago, as a little boy belonging to Vime reux, near Calais, was trying with a line from the quay to catch some of the small fry peopling the water, he was frightened by see ing en Imotenee black mass come floating up the harbour. He has. tened to inform his father; and in a few minutes the whole of the in habitants were upon the quay, astounded at seeing the port cent pletely filled with mackerel. Some thne was lost in considering how to secure this valuable godsend. At length the means of entrapping the whole shoal was devised, by completyly stopping the mouth of the harbour ; and Vu?, according to one account, more than 500,000 fish have been caught. [ADVERTISEMENT.] —DEBILITY AND WEAKNESS.— EXTRAORDINARY CASE. -- CURE BT HOLLOWAY'S PILLS. r Mrs. Mitchell, of Bristol-road Birmingham, was in that weakly state as not to be able to dress herself ; besides which, there was a constant pain in the right side, preventing her from lying upon it. She was never free from head-aches; appetite and digestion very bad, and her spirits always greatly depressed. Now this lady, ere she be came so extremely ill, visited various watering placcS, where she had the best medical advice, but her case battled the skill of all, and yet, to the surprise of her family and friends, sbe is restored to per manent health by the use of Holloway's gills.—Sold by all druggists 0.310 M Frofrocor Olowfirt ZataNiduatat, 04, 61a130, Lc u, i . - --- - "' d 1 6 ° • 9 5 3 5 , 3 40 , .--- 6i 2 6 71 ..--- 13° i 11. 23- 280 3% ••• 4 4 11 MARKET NEWS.—(YESTERDA izcs...r as.

The arrivals from Ireland continue on the most limited scale, and likewise coastwise, with the exception of barley and malt. The trade for all free produce has continued in a very languid state, the demand being restricted to small parcels for pre sent use, without any material change in prices. There has been no demand for bonded wheat ; but a few inquiries were experienced for flour, and 1,500 barrels New Orleans were re ported to have changed hands at about 24s per barrel. After market, on Friday.l4,ooo bushels handsome American wheat were sold by auction at 65. 7d. per 701 b. At our Corn Ex change this morning there was a good attendance of the trade, and very small show of samples of wheat and oats, but fair of all other articles. There was a fair consumptive demand for wheat, at an advance of ld. to 2d. per 701 b. on prices of this day week. Oats were Id. per 451 b. dearer, and in request. Malt, barley, beans, peas, and Indian corn were without change, and in moderate demand. Flour met a fair sale at previous rates, but meal was dull, though not cheaper. For wheat and flour in bond there were no inquiries. BARNET FAlR.—This cattle fair was held yesterday ; it lasts three days. The supply of cattle was good, but sold at prices ten per cent. lower than the quotations of last month. Fat beasts made Bs. 6cl. per stone ; inferior ditto and cows, 3s. per ditto; milch cows including a Buckler made from 12 to 16 guineas, and among which a good business was done. Fat wether sheep averaged 4s. 6d. per stone ; house lambs, Gs. to 7s. per stone ; ewes and lambs were sold at prices varvine , from 40s. to 50s. a couple. Pigs were , catmt rot rt !mod prices, large hogs making Ss. 6d. per stone, and porkers 4a. to 45. Bd. Store pigs varied frem 18s. to Ns. each. Young cart-horses sold well. WORSHIP-STREET. Richard Minor, ostler, in the service of Mr. Wrag, the coach proprietor of Finsbury, was placed at the bar before Mr. /Iroughton, charged with having violently assaulted police-constable Haynes. 155 G. It appeared, that as the complainant was on duty in Horseshoe-alley, Shoreditch, between 2 and 3 o'clock in the morning of the Ist instant, he met the prisoner, who was staggering about in a state of drunkenness, and shouting and creating such an uproar that the disturbed the whole neighbourhood. The officer succeeded with great difficulty in removing him to the door of the house in which he lived, where he was about to leavf , when he suddenly turned round, and exclaiming Take that," kicked him with such savage violence in the lower part of his person, that he insta ntl y fell to the ground in a state of insensibility. Two of his brother constables, who had been drawn to the sp ot b y the prisoner's riotous conduct and witnessed the attack he had made upon Haynes, imm ediatel y seized the prisoner and en deavoured to take him into custody; but the accused made such a strenuous resistance, that both these officers were also knocked down, and it required the combined efforts of all three constables to take him to the police station. The officer Haynes, who appeared to be com pletely crippled from the effects of the violence that had been exercised upon him, handed to the magistrate a certificate from Mr. Mather, the divisionalsurgeon, which stated that the subject of it had been ever since suffering severely from a very dangerous kick, and was still in such a state as to be incapable of resuming his duty, The prisoner, in answer to the charge, said that the officers would swear his life away if they could ; that.he had no recollection of kicking the constable at all; and that, if he had done so, it must be purely accidental. Mr. BROUGHTON said, that as the utmost punishment he had it in his power to inflict was scarcely adequate to meet the aggravated nature of an assault of this description, he considered the only proper course to pursue would be to send the case before a jury at the sessions ; but the complainant having requested the Magistrate to adjudicate upon the matter, as it would cause him the greatest inconvenience to carry the case any further, his request was ultimately acceded to, and the prisoner was sentenced to one month's imprisonment and hard labour in the House of Correction, _without the option of the payment of any pecuniary penalty.
