LITERATURE. THE MAGAZINES. The festival of Saint Andrew (Scotland's patron saint) was celebrated yesterday evening by an immense number of the natives of that country and their friends—under the management of the Directors of the Scottish Hos pital. This anniversary has been honoured by similar demonstrations for nearly 200 years, but we question whether it ever before viewed so many collected together to do it homage, caused perhaps from the interest created Blackwood,.—Another instalment (the twenty seventh) brings " My Novel" to the very eve of its conclusion. Nearly two years and a half will hay flitted by during the period of its serial publication in " Malta"—eighteen or twenty months beautified by the charms of this incomparable fiction, and, through its agency, endeared by a thousand exqui site remembrances. We shrink from our arrival at the close of the narrative as from a really cruel deprivation. Eager as we are to learn the upshot of the history recounted by Pisistratus Caxton, we are loath to be separated from that monthly commune with " The Anachronism" to which habit has rendered us so delightfully accustomed. Im mediately upon the termination of " The Caxtons" we hankered after some speedy sequel to the Family Picture. Fortunately, many months had not elapsed when the earlier chapters of " My Novel" introduced us to a knowledge of the Varieties of English Life as witnessed in the mot ley characters here grouped with a master hand together—characters ranging from the peer, Harley L'Estrange, to the peasant, Mark Fairfield ; from the ruined genius, John Burley, to the powerful statesman, Audley Egerton : comprising amongst them, moreover, good Parson Dale and honest Squire Hazeldean ;!the young officer in the guards, Frank ; and the young civilian in one of the high offices of Government, Randal ; besides acquaint ing us, moreover, with a Welsh homeopathist, like Doctor Morgan, and with an Italian refugee, like Doctor Riccabocca--the rather proving, in reality, Alphonso, Duke of Serrano, and Prince of Mon teleone. Added to the foregoing heroes, we have been accustomed in the same " storied" pages to meet with, again and yet again, —the usurer Baron Livy, the poet Leonard Fair field, the manufacturer, Dick Avenel, the ruined soldier, Captain Digby, the tinker, the overseer, the spendthrift, the adventurer, the valet—every conceivable variety of class shadowed forth through the medium of appropriate representatives. Among the females introduced, whether as heroines or as subordinate individuals, there have been the Squire's Harry and the Parson's Carry, the gentle Helen and the brilliant Violante, the vulgar Mrs. Fairfield, and the elegant Madame de Nigra, the haughty Lady Lansmere, and the simple-minded Jemima—and over all like a beautiful phantom of the past, the memory of the gifted and lovely Nora, the sister of Avenel, the beloved of L'Estrange, the wife of Egerton and the mother of Leonard. It is when we remember all these varied creations in whose chequered fortunes we have long come to be so profoundly interested, that we are loath to be abandoned by them all at once, and to find their names no longer adorning the familiar pages of Blackwood. Fortunately, however, there must come at least' one more instalment of the narrative, in order to bring the intricate plot to a conclusion. When completed, "My Novel," may without exaggerated praise be distinguished as " The Novel," constituting as it does not only the masterpiece in many respects of Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton, but one of the most remarkable productions in the whole range of our imaginative literature. It is admirably said in the course of the next contribution, when the writer in alluding to an other eminent writer of fiction, one of Bulwer's most gifted contemporaries, now, alas! no more, that "Cooper is a greater author," the contributor adding " he was a grand fellow in the prairie or the forest." The remark occurs in the course of a review on " Rambles in North and South America," by Ed ward Sullivan. A pleasant and readable magazine tale is the one entitled " Major Moss," being, in fact, a campaigning reminiscence. A criticism is next given of the Rev. Frederick Meyrick's account of the " Practical Working of the Church in Spain." To the subsequent article, the one descrip tive of " Paris on the eve of the Empire," we would most earnestly and especially call the attention of the English multitude. Our recommendation comes before the public, it may be remarked, some what appropriately, on the evening of this first day of December, when the Legislative Body and the Senate are to proceed to St. Cloud, to announce the number of votes to Louis Napoleon, and greet him offi cially for the first time as His Imperial and Royal Ma jesty Napoleon 111., Emperor of the French, King of Algeria, and Protector of the Sanctuaries ; Besides a political article, headed " The Manchester Move ment"—a paper too remarkable at the present juncture, if only from the circumstance of its appearance in the chief of the organs of Protection, to be cursorily mentioned in our present glance at the Magazine—there are some verses by a Day dreamer, a notice of " Aiton's Travels in the East," and a contribution oddly designated, " A Puff off Pernambuco," the scribe of the last men tioned being one Harry Gr'ngo. RAILWAYS. in the announcement that Lord John Russell was to pre side on the occasion, and the indefatigable exertions of the secretary of the institution to insure a good attend ance. Whether the great number present yesterday, is owing to that cause, or from the known love that Scots men bear to any institution having national interests in view, matters not. The largest room in the capacious tavern was filled to its utmost limits, therefore nearly 400 persons must have dined. It may not be uninter eding to state, that this society is the offspring of one that was formed in the reign of James the First, by the natives of Scotland resident in the metropolis, for the charitable purpose of relieving those of their countrymen who might not be so fortunate or successful in their pursuits as themselves, and who, but for this assistance, would be subject to all the privations of poverty. In after years its usefulness became so well appreciated, as to receive the support of the most distinguished of the Scottish nobles and gentlemen, and with their exertions it was incorporated by royal charter un der its present designation. It still continues its charitable labours, but on a more extensive and defined scale than its parent, and still numbers among its con tributors the most eminent persons connected with Scotland ; its particular object being now to relieve the poor of that country not receiving parochial allowance ; and also to return to their homes those who may have been unsuccessful in getting employment in the metro polis. With such benevolent objects as these, it is not to be wondered that its friends rallied round its anni versary last night ; although, be it remembered, that the 30th of November is a jubilee with Scotsmen in all parts of the world, and the enthusiasm with which they are wont to celebrate or do honour to anything nationally when most distant from their -- native land, is well known and often commented upon by those who could not enter into such feelings, as something ridiculous. The spirit of clanship and nationality displayed yesterday, showed that they were in no way degenerated. The music arrangements were conducted by Mr. Genge and Mr. F. Smith. Mr. Mackay, her Majesty's piper, with the juvenile band of the Caledonian Asylum were also present, and played alternately appropriate airs and pibrochs. The galleries at both ends were filled with elegantly dressed ladies, the wives and relatives of the company, who were treated to a collation in an adjoining room, during the progress of the more important dinner. Among those present were Lord John Russell, M. P., sup ported on the right and left by Lord Eskine, Lord Panmure the American Minister, Mr. Sheriff Croll, Mr. Alderman Harmer, Ex-Sheriff Nicoll, Sir John Taggart, M.P. Charles Cowan, M.P., R. Milligan, M.P., James Wilson, M.P., Johnstone of Alra, M.P., Frederick Dundas, M.P., Sir James Dames, M.P., Sir James Anderson, M.P., Captain Scobell, M.P., Colonel the Hon. Lauderdale, M.P., Lieutenant-General Aitcheson, Colonel Sir Duncan Mac dougall, P. F. Robertson, M.P., and Crauford, M.P. The Vice-President was the Lord-Advocate of Scotland, who was supported by Captain Sir John Heron Maxwell, R.N., Mr. R.N. Craufurd, Mr. R. Hepburn, Mr. Peabody, Mr. Andrew Maclure, Mr. W. S. Lind say, Mr. Bain, Mr. J. B. Allan, Mr. Alexander Grant, the members of the Caledonian Society, and many deputies and members of the Corporation of the City of London, as well as the directors of the hospital. On the cloth being removed, the grace was very beau tifully sung. The NOBLE CHAIRMAN, on rising to propose the first toast, was received with immense cheering, which was continued for several minutes. He said he had to pro pose the health of the Queen—(cheers)—and he had only to say that that was a toast which required but little preface at a time when loyalty to the throne was becom ing all subjects of this realm, and when that loyalty was strengthened and confirmed by attachment to the person of the Sovereign. That attachment was so well known by the virtues of the person who wore the crown of these dominions, that he felt that he need say no more, but simply propose the hez,lth of her most gracious Majesty the Queen, which was greeted with loud cheers. His Lordship next proposed the healths of the Prince of Wales, Prince Albert, and the rest of the royal family. Mr. Genge and his party, after this toast, sang with excellent effect the well-known glee, "As I cam doon the Canno'gate." Then followed the Army and Navy, for which General AITCHISON and Sir JOHN HERON MAXWELL, R.N., re spectively returned thanks. Having proposed these loyal toasts, the noble CHAIR MAN, in proposing "the Memory of his Grace the Duke of Wellington," observed that he could not allow the present occasion to pass without paying a tribute to that great man's memory. It was to the Duke of Wellington that the arms of England, and he might say the arms of Europe, owed their success. At an early period doubts as to the conduct of the war had arisen, and the lustre of the British arms had been dimmed ; but when the Duke of Wellington was placed at the head of our forces, con fidence was felt in his military skill, and it was not too much to say that his Grace had achieved not merely the freedom of England but the freedom of the world. (Cheers.) It had been his (the Chairman's) lot to be about that time travelling on the Continent, and he well remem bered seeing the memorable lines of Torres Vedras, as formed by the noble Duke. They all knew how anxious the people of England then looked for intelligence from the seat of war, but England's great military chief knew that he had but one army, and he wisely postponed every other consideration rather than endanger its safety by an attempt to secure immediate success. He (the Chairman) well remembered his eagle eye at that time, and he was glad that the country had recently shown that a recol lection of the noble Duke and his services lived in the he c arts of the people of England. The next toast was "The health of the President of the United States, coupled with the name of Mr. Inger soll, the Minister of that country now in London." Nr. INGERSOLL, in acknowleding the toast, observed that he hoped the people of England and America would, as the noble chairman had aptly remarked, live in per petual amity, and that between the great western country and this a single cloud might never be seen. (Cheers.) The object of the present meeting was, htwever, to pro mote the cause of benevolence, and he (Mr. Ingersoll) was glad to bear testimony that no country in this re spect did so much as England, at the same time that no people stood so little in need of the help of charity. The CHAIRMAN said that he had to fulfil a duty which he felt ought more properly to fall to some of the distin guished Scotchmen he saw around him. (No, no.) Seeing that he was supported by his friend Lord Pan mure, who reflected so much honour on the distinguished family from which he was descended, and that he was faced by a gentleman (the Lord Advocate) who, by the exercise of his profession of the law and his well-known abilities, had passed all his competitors, and now filled a most distinguished position in his native country—he felt that one or other of those gentlemen would more fittingly have filled the chair than himself. (No, no.) He sup posed, however, that as th e o bj ec t they were met to promote was purely Scottish, that the Scotchmen had too much modesty amongst them to allow them to do justice to the subject. (Cheers and laughter.) Therefore it was that he filled the chair, and had now to bring before them the claims of the Scottish Hospital. (Cheers.) When King James the First came to this country, he was naturally accompanied by a great many followers. The majority of them found the way of pushing their fortunes, and very many became distinguished in various trades and professions. Others, however, aS would b e th e c ase i n all countries, were ess able to do so, and, being away from their friends and native country, fell into distress. Those, however, who had been fortunate, to their honour be it spoken, did not forget those who were less so ; and this society was established for their relief under the un pretending title of the Scottish Box, which title it re tained until it became incorporated by royal charter, in the reign of Charles 11. From that time those Scotch men who had come to this country, and were unable to obtain sufficient means of subsistence —or, in old age, found themselves without the means of support—had been assisted and aided by this institution ; and at the present moment above 100 poor persons, above 70 years of age, received allowances of 101. per annum each from it, and 30 more, above 65, received smaller sums, whilst the casual relief averaged above 2501. per annum in addition to education being provided for the children of poor Scottish parents. It appeared to him that such a charity was particularly worthy of the support of all Scotchmen —the more particularly as the Scotch had no claim upon the parishes of England to be sent back to their own country, and he trusted that they would that night maintain their character, and liberally contribute to the funds of the hospital. (Cheers.) He would not further detain them, but propose "Prosperity to the Scottish Hospital, and health to the Preses and Vice-Preses." Lord PANMURE, as one of the vice-presidents, returned thanks, and expressed his conviction that no leal Scotch man would ever, no matter in what part of the world he might be, forget his native country, or the claims of his poorer brethren for assistance. He felt that Lord John Russell was peculiarly in his place that evening, as, though he was not exactly a native of Scotland, he might be almost called a Scotchman, he having received from Professor Playfair the education and lessons which had made him what he now was—he having selected to adorn his fire-side one of the fairest and noblest of Scot- Fraser.—A generous estimate is formed by the writer of the first article, about the career and character of " L or d John Russell." Of that celebrated statesman it is aptly observed (we presume by Mr. Francis), that "if he has sometimes too cautiously picked his steps, he has ever sought to walk in the light of the Constitu tion." The critic concludes his very able, and to a considerable extent impartial, notice of the ex-Premier, by remarking, that " without blind ing one's self to the great demerits of the Whig leader, there is much in his career to prove that he is actuated by a noble sense of duty ;" nor, he thinks, can we safely disregard, at a time when evens have led to a glaring and almost universal inconsistency in public men, his pretensions, his experience, his sagacity, or his disinterestedness. Mr. Thackeray's new novel " Esmond, " is rather commended by one of Fraser's reviewers. A very curious paper is the one entitled " Ire land in the Year One Thousand," and not less so another, a little farther on, relating to " Nie buhr's Ancient History." Captain Digby, grand this month, finishes his " Autobiography. There is also for December, among the serials of the Magazine, a very poiverful and picturesque chapter of " Hypatia ' introducing us where ? into Pandemonium ! We like the little story about the " Magic Chessmen" (signifying nobody can tell what), but not much the big one about " The Empire in France." Our sentiments of distaste for the latter contribution may possibly be trace able to our disrelish for scurrilities. As the politi cal article for the month, Regina, gives us a valuable paper upon the question of " How is India Governed." The Dublin University Magazine.—This num ber contains a great deal of interesting mat ter. "How I Married to escape being Hanged" is an amusing incident, supposed to have occurred in the Peninsula. " A Sketching Tour in the Forests of Ceylon" is concluded, and affords most desirable information regarding that country. The biography of Tyrone Power is completed in the third part, and details his melancholy fate. The story of " Clough Fionn, or the Home of Destiny," also terminates. The most pleasing of the contents is, perhaps, the first article, entitled " The Bright Spirit of Christmas," which is written in an ani mated strain, in conformity with the subject. It is remarked :—" Christmas is coming, the unfailing visitor—the guest which never disappoints—and they slander him who compare him to an ancient, for he is only old in the computation of years. He has the ruddy life-bloom and elastic step of youth, his lips have drunk at the fountain of immortality, and the cause of his being and his name will be remembered throughout eternity." Ainsworth's Magazine.—The Lancashire Witches has reached the eighth chapter of the third volume, and relates " How King James hunted the hart and wild boar in Hoghton Park." The chief article is a Memoir of A:exancL-e Dumas, which will, doubtless, be attracave to the admirers of French literature. "Incidents in the Life of an M.D." contains nothing either very original or interesting. " Florence Hamilton " ap proaches its conclusion, and the present number leaves its heroes and heroines in volved in serious and complicated adventures. There is also the commencement of a tale entitled " Isabel Milford," and the continua tion of " Jelthinas." The only poetic con tribution is a " Rhenish Legend" by G. W. Thorn bury. A new romance by the author of " The Confederates of Parma," is to commence next month. TREATY OF COMMERCE WITH FRANCE.—A corres pondent of the Newcastle Chronicle, writing from Paris, says :—You will learn with pleasure, I know, that a treaty of Commerce between France and England will be signed in a few days. The duties on coals and pig iron will be considerably reduced in France, and the French wines, brandies, and silks, will be admitted in England at a lower rate. This treaty would have been signed before this, but the E ng li s h dipl oma ti s t s w i s h e d to prevail on the French administration to treat also for cotton goods, cutlery, earthenware, and other similar goods ; so far M. Bonaparte resists this demand. I must say, nevertheless, that by a project of law, at present before the Council of State, the prohibition actually ex isting on earthenware and pottery goods, is replaced by a certain rate of duty. We may therefore expect in a very short time to see the commercial relations between the two countries increase in a considerable ratio. THE MIDDLE CLASS IN CALIFO2NIA.—Among the passengers by the West India steamer La Plata, was a gentleman from California. Re states that the only persons who are doing well there are the wealthy capi talist and the hard-working labourer. All engaged in trade or traffic, with moderate means, are badly off, owing to the number employed in it, and to the constant glut of goods. Out of a ship-load of English emigrants, about 300 in number, who went from this country to California, about three years ago, not above three of them are doing well, land's daughters—(cheers)—and he delighting to spend his period of relaxation from the duties of public life —a relaxation which none but those engaged in public life could truly appreciate—in that country. (Cheers.) " The House of Lords" was next drunk, and re sponded to by Lord Erskine, who afterwards proposed the health of the noble lord in the chair, who briefly acknowledged d;;' Sutherland h e2djr d H theL o Hon. ioensl Abbott mi e nLt Patronessesw r e ' n ' h , responded TD huecliCityess to Lon by Mr. Davis ;" " The Duke of Buccleuch and the Edinburgh Branch ;" and other toasts having been drunk, the comp an y se p ara t e d a f ew m i nu tes before 12 o'clock, a collection of about 7001., in aid of the finds of the charity, having been previously announced. Thq hall was tastefully decorated with flags and shields, with plaids of various clan tartans gracefully arranged over them. Mr. Higgs was toastmaster, and discharged his duties in his usual good style. Messrs. Bathe and Breach pre pared an excellent dinner and first-rate wines for the occa4ion.

MARKET NEWS-{THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. We had a very limited supply of English wheat on sale to-day. All kinds commanded a steady inquiry, at fully Monday's advance in the quotations, and a total clearance of the stands was speedily effected. Several parcels changed hands for foward delivery, on rather higher terms. This week's imports of foreign wheat are 8,840 quarters. For country consumption the demand was steady, at full quotations. Floating cargoes of wheat and Indian corn were mostly held for more money. The show of barley samples was not large. Malting parcels moved off steadily, at late rates. Grinding and distilling sorts were a slow sale. Malt met a slow inquiry, yet prices were well supported. The oat trade was in a sluggish state, but no change took place in value. Beans and peas were held at extreme currencies. The top price of town made flour was 43s per 2801bs. English .. Irish •• • • Foreign .. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat I Barley.

Immediately after this opera tion the Legislative Body and the Senate will proceed to St. Cloud ; the former to present to Louis Napoleon the result of the national vote which calls him to the Empire ; and the latter to be the first to offer to the Chief of the State its congratulations and those of France. On the follow ing day the Emperor will leave St. Cloud about half past eleven, to make his entry into Paris. His Majesty will proceed to the Tuileries by the Arc de Triomphe, the Grand Avenue of the Champs Elysees, and the Garden of the Palace. His family and the Ni.inisters will assemble at the Tuileries to receive the Emperor, and to offer their congratulations to him. In the evening the political bodies and the principal functionanes will be admitted to offer their homage to the Emperor. The result of the national vote on the plebiscite 3,nd the declaration of the Legislative Body will be read at the Hotel de Ville on Thursday morning, at ten o'click, by the Prefect of the Seine. In the evening the public edifices will be illuminated." Subjoined to the above is the following notice : "His Majesty will leave St. Cloud on the 2d of De cember, at half-past eleven. He will see with Peasure any general officers, who have not commands in the army of Paris, join his cortege. For this purposa, they will await the arrival of the Emperor on horseback, at the Arc de Triomphe de l'Etoile, and escort him aa far as the Tuileries." The proclamation of the Empire, which will be made in Paris on Thursday, the 2d, will take place throughout all France on Sunday, the sth. Ir each garrison town the troops will be under arms, uid a salute of 101 guns will be fired during the cerenony. In the rural communes the proclamation wil be made by the mayors and municipal authorities. The Cathedral of Notre Dame is beginning to assume indications of the coming Empire. The high altar exhibits an Imperial crown and rich purple velet hangings, while other decorations may be seen in the aisles, preparatory, as it were, to occupying a place in an approaching ceremony. Eleven pieces of cannon arrived at Saint Valery sur-Somme from Brest, on Saturday, for arming the forts which defend the entrance to the Baie de Somme. Similar pieces have also been sent to Dunkirk, Calais, and Boulogne. All these guns, it is said, belonged to men-of-war, and hare bean replaced by others of a new model. The Patrie says : " It was announced some time since, that all tin army were to be provided with helmets of eather, wits brass ornaments. We learn that is the intention to adopt them only in one rigiment of infantry of the line. This experiment will be tried for one year, and nothing will be decided on until after the expiration of that perod." M. de Kisseleff, the Russian Plenipotentiary, has returned to Paris. Considerable importance is attached to the circumstance of the arrival d the Russian Minister on the eve of the proclamation of the Empire, it being regarded as a special ma* of consideration on the part of the government hehas so long represented. The Courrier de Marseille asserts that M. Prcud hon, the celebrated Socialist writer, is residing at Philadelphia, and has turned professor of musical harmony. Amongst the many companies which the prestnt rage for speculation has given rise to, is a new as sociation, which is said to have been formed or the purchase of large landed properties, and their subsequent subdivision and re-sale in small lots,to suit the convenience of less wealthy capitalises. This association is stated to be composed of In perialists, Orleanists, and Legitimists. The 11:11132- diate object of the company is said to be the pu , chase of the estates of the Orleans family, whici, according to the decree of Louis Napoleon, mitt be sold within a limited period, and might other wise be sacrificed. The President is not indispose) toward the association or its objects. The Mayor of Marseilles has just published a 1 order interdicting all games of chance in cafés clubs, estaminets, and other places of public resort.

THE CONTINENT. SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 25th have been eceived. The Gazette publishes a long decree reYtive to foreigners, of which the following are the post im portant passages : " The following persons are regarded as foreigners :- 1. All persons born of foreign parents out of tho Spanish territories. 2. The children of a foreign fatlPr and a Spanish mother, born out of these territories, f they do not claim Spanish nationall 3 . Those who are born on the Spanish territory, if they do not make tits claim. 4. Those who are born out of the Spanish territory of fathers who have lost their Spanish nationality. 5.

Lieutenant-General Lord Raglan, G.C.8., Master-General of the Ordnance, accompanied by Captain Sir Thomas Hastings, C. 8., R.N., Principal Storekeeper, visited the Royal Arsenal to-day. They were received by the heads of the various departments, with whom they made a lengthened investigation of the stores on hand in progress of being converted into the necessary articles used in her Majesty's services. ROYAL ARTILLERY. The ground, both in Hyde-park and at Wormwood scrubs, to which it was proposed to change the intended review of the troops in London and its vicinity, in pre sence of the foreign officers who came over to the metropolis to be present at the funeral of the late Duke of Wellington, is still so saturated and soft from the immense quantity of rain which has fallen lately, that the idea of a review is given up, several of the foreign officers having already left London, and many of the others being anxious to return home as early as possible. The troop of Royal Horse Artil lery which came up from Canterbury on Thursday to be present at the review on Friday last, and has remained here during the early part of the present week in case its services should have been required at a review in Hyde park or Wormwood-scrubs, has received orders to hold itself in readiness to leave Woolwich on Friday morning next on its return to Canterbury. Captain Price's com pany, 7th battalion, announced as having returned from Hong Kong to Woolwich on Wednesday last, under the command of that gallant officer, and consisting of 45 non-commissioned officers and gunners and drivers, was filled up with recruits to the usual number in a company to-day. The non-commissioned officers and gunners of the Royal Horse Artillery attended Divine service in the garrison chapel on Sunday last in their stable dress, their full uniform havirig become so thoroughly saturated at the review on Friday afternoon that it was not dry or fit to put on on Sunday.

TIIF FRENCH NAVY.—A letter of the 19th of August, from a naval officer on the Tahiti station, gives an ex cellent account of the sanitary state of that country. The health of the crews of the ships of war was most satisfactory. The Moselle, corvette, had recently ar rived from Noukahiva, to which place she had carried MM. Gent and Longomazino and their families. The Arthemise was to leave on the following day for Val paraiso, to fetch supplies. A few days before, the schooner Hydrographe had been caught in a heavy and driven on shore at a short di s t anc e from Papeiti , after having lost he r ma i nmas t . Sh e was a ft e rwards got off, but was found to b e ser i ous l y d amage d. gale, THE SUSPECTED MURDER AT EXETER.—The adjourned inquiry touching the melancholy death of Mr. William Wreford, of Clanaborough, was resumed on Monday. Numerous witnesses were examined ; among others, the young woman who was suspected of the murder, and her mother. The evidence disclosed a sad state of immorality. The mother acknowledged that she received a letter from young the deceased, who was 71 y ears of age, requesting h e e r to i Conclusion get her daughter to meet him, to accompany him to the Haven Banks Inn. This she did, and, to use her Own words, " delivere d her up" to Mr. Wreford at the place appointed for meeting. It appeared also that the woman r eturned to her se rvice at the Acorn Innh t mor ning, as tho u g h nothin g had ha pp en ed —Eater very lengthen ed in q uir y , the jur y came to t he a th a t there was not sufficient evidence t bringing in a verdict of murder, return ed a verdict of " Found d adw own d." they therefore to th em i n and it is likely The young woman , Maria Slee, she will be charged is still in custody, with stealin g the 80/. from Mr. Wreford. DIABOLICAL OUTRAGE.—Mr. Smith , the proprietor l of the Angel tavern, Webber -street Bl kfriar o Mr. Holland, a master printer g a in thes s a r m same n and neigh bourhood, narrowly escaped being shot by some diabo lical miscreant, a night or two since. It appears that Mr. Holland w as convers i ng with Mr . . Smith whilst he was standing behind his bar, when all of a sudden a noise was heard of a vehicle passing the house, and at the same moment a pistol or gun was discharged, and a, ball fired through one of the squares of glass in the win-, dow, making a circular hole in the glass nearly as large as a shilling. Fortunately neither Mr. Smith nor Mr. Holland received any injury, although the charge of the weapon fell within a. few feet of the spot they were standing on. The guilty party is at present at large. ALARMING TUMULT.—FIRING AT A MOB.—The neighbourhood of Wollaston, in Northamptonshire, has been in a state of much excitement during the week by the following startling occurrence :—Some few . . days ago several labourers were prosecuted b y a bailiff named Dycer for breaking away some portion of an old fence. This seemed to have excited much feeling in the village, and an effigy of the bailiff was burned. The feeling sub sequently ran stronger, and a mob assembling in front of Dycer's house, and several windows being broken, one of his brothers very imprudently fired a loaded pistol at the mob. The result was that a young r-- named James Page was seriously wounded. the mob became more infuriated, and fr lives of both brothers, as also their d , placed in much hazard. At length the fired the shot was arrested by the police examined by the magistrate, was remanded. - • .= _.~_~y BUSiTICSS done. 351 6 154 9 111 4 11 li 1 3 g i 4 A la A 324 24 B 94 9 1 Oata. 2,040 3,7'.0 920 I 6,260 Flour. 570 ma x . .~ s --t~ I' I 401
