The Hospital Committee m ake this appeal to public benevolence Mader circumstances of more than usual urgency. It is now two years since the last festival. During that time, while the prevalence of epidemic disease and general distress has caused an increase in the number of patients, and the cost of maintaining the charity has been further augmented by high prices of provisions, the Committee have proceeded with plans for improving the accommodation for patients by an extension of the building. They have thus incurred expenses and liabilities to a large amount. A reserved fund of upwards of 5,0001. has been exhausted, and a debt of 1,5001. contracted. For some time past the Hospital has been dependent for its maintenance on a loan from the Treasurer. This charity, besides providing relief in sickness for the poor of the D o Pulous and increasing neighbourhood in which it is situate, is open la a free hospital to all sick and destitute persons, awl for the pur pose of extending its benefits as widely as possible, the clergymen it hil ministers officiating in the sarrounding parishes are invited to l end patients. Of the annual cost of maintaining the charity on Its present footing a moiety is contributed by the Medical School of University College, about 2,5001. being annually paid over by the Council to the Hospital Co mmittee as the amount of students' fees for clinical instruction. l 1 4 : 14 thsbursements amount to 5,00 0 /. ; a deficiency of 1,9001. has to _provided for every year. u eds and other furniture are required for the new wards ; the an tiuh al ealiense of supporting the occupants o f 50 additional beds is es _ M a ated at 1,500/. The number of beds which the Hospital is now ble of containing is 200. The °timber of patients was last year 18,794, of whom 1,403 were bietlehts, and 508 women in childbir th, attended at their own ha. tions ; the remaining number received relief as out-patients or as ca rd applicants. .8, - ; c lergyman of the Church of England administerofficite as chaplain, but of g i Patient is allowed to have the advice of , which he himself professes.

POLICE IN TELLIGENCE. - MANSION-HOUSE. Mr. Burgon, a resident householder iu Becklersbury, was summoned before the Lord Mayor and Alderman Johnson for having refused to pay the church-rate to the amount of tl 2s. to the parochial officers of the united parishes of Walbrook and St. Benet-Shcrehog. The goods of the defendant had been se'v.d and sold last year for a similar demand. Proof having been given of the application to the de fendant, and bis refusal to comply with it, Mr. Burgon said he could not think of complying with 60 unreasonable and so unprincipled a demand. His house was in the parish of St. Benet-Sherchog, in which there had been no church for many a year, and he could not conjecture why the inhabitants should be called upon to pay under such circumstances. But he objected to pay the rate on higher ground—on the ground of religious exception, inasmuch as he could not consent to adopt the tenets of a church which recognised the principle of baptismal regeneration, a doctrine wholly founded in error. The LORD MAYOR said it would be competent for the defendant to object to the payment of the rate upon the ground that there was no church in the parish, and he might appeal to the Quarter Sessions, or to the Ecclesi astical Court accordingly; but it was not in the power of the magistrates sitting as he and Alderman Johnson were sitting, to take into consideration the conscientious scruples of Mr. Burgon. Mr. Burgon said he had not the least fancy for an ap peal to the Ecclesiastical Court, and he did not at all like to see his property confiscated. He had the same sort of objection to pay the rate which the Bishop of Cashel had to vo t e f or t h e grant o f a sum o f money for the support of Maynooth College, because he considered the doctrines heretical. The LORD MAYOR said Mr. Burgon must know very well that he and his brother magistrate were t o h b eA ligi drm eacdteb.y Act of P ar li ament to compel the payment o f Alderman Jonssotr—lf the magistrates at Quarter Sessions are appealed to, and they consider there is no church for the parishioners to attend, th a t m a y form a ground of objection sufficient to e xempt you . T o w hi c h court would y ou w i sh toesaSop n ea s? l —to the Ecclesiastical Court or to th e Q uarter S Mr. Burgon—T o the Quarter Sessions, by all means. Your Lordship will greatly oblige that the property seized, in excess me if or the y z contrive rate,be applied to the liquidation of this demand.ttshave received a The LORD MAYOR—If the authorities larger sum for the property they seized, they must refund to you, or an action will lie. Mr. Burgon—You must be aware that I cannot conde scend to receive money which had been taken f rom me, by force. I cannot live upon plunder. The clerk to the parochial authorities said the money in excess from the sale of the goods had been offered and refused at Mr. Burgon's house. Mr. Burgon—They seized a table which cost me 304, and a glass which cost me 91., for the sum of 5/., and sold them to pay that amount and the expenses. I should think that the excess ought to satisfy the churchwardens for their demand, and your Lordship may order them to accept that money. Alderman JOHNSON—No. Two separate questioes are involved in that. Mr. Burgon—They may as well take a howitzer at once and knock my house about my ears. Alderman JOHNSON—You know the conditions upon which you took your house; one of which was, that you should pay this rate; and we have no alternative. You can appeal to the Quarter Sessions. Mr. Burgon then left the magistrates under the im pression that he would appeal at the.,Quarter Sessions; but he seemed determined to adhere to his expressed in tention not to touch a farthing of the money which had been received in excess by the sale of his goods. The crowd in the justice. room seemed to be struck with the singularity of the case, and of the party com plained against, who observed, in the course of the con versation, that this country, which was called part of Christendom, ought rather to be called Devildom. THAMES. William Potter, a shoemaker, appeared for the second time before Mr. Yardley to answer a charge of assault. ing an aged man named Oates, and illegally turning him and his wife out of the almshouses behind St. Matthew's Episcopal Chapel, formerly called Mulberry-gardens Chapel, in Pell-street, Ratcliff Highway. The case had been allowed to stand over for the purpose of enabling Potter to make some compensation to the aged complainants for tho breakage of their property while ejecting them from the lower room of the alms house. Tho defendant had made no reparation for the injury. Eventually the magistrate decided that Potter should pay the complainant 18s. and 2s. costs. The money was immediately forthcoming, and Mr. Yardley ' strongly recommended the trustees to pursue their rights in a legal manner. _ . „ '4!* ‘...)ONTRACTS for SEAMEN'S CLOTHING.

" GENTLEMEN,—A striking instance of the efficacy of your Macas sar Oil in the restoration of the hair has just come under my notice. The person alluded to is a young man named Haylock, of Ashdon, near this place, whose entire head of hair came off by some unac countable means. He purchased of me several different popular pre parations, which he regularly and faithfully used, but without effect. ing the least apparent change, At last I advised him to try a bottle of your Macassar Oil ; and, on Friday last he communicated to me the pleasing intelligence of the reappearance of a thick head of hair.

The name and genius of Thom are well known and universally ac knowledged ; many of the feeling and pathetic effusions of his muse have been brought before the public, not only in a combined form, but in various periodicals. His talents attracted the attention of the ablest judges ; and the Messrs. Chambers, in their Journal, have de voted a chapter to his autobiography, and to that favourable meed of praise to which they considered his merits entitled. The life of William Thom has, indeed, combined the vicissitudes of a humble child of the Muses, having formed a scene of trials and dis appointments, accompanied by an overflowing share of poverty and distress. Many of his earliest and best years were passed at the Hawkhill of Dundee—the remembrance of which seemed deeply impressed on his mind ; for thither, to use kis own emphatic language, he wished to return, like a bird that flutters round her forsaken nest, to spend his latter days in comparative peace and quiet. His wishes were fulfilled, for not many months ago he did return from his wanderings, debilitated and impoverished, and breathed his last on Monday, the 28th of February. He has left a widow and three infant children, the youngest but five months old, totally unprovided for ; and it has therefore been resolved to raise a fluid, in order, if possible, to afford them permanent assistance. A Committee has been appointed, who have cheerfully undertaken this duty, and al ready they are happy to announce that their call has been responded to in a prompt and liberal manner. Lord Kinnaird, Lord Jeffrey, Messrs. Douglas Jerrold and Robert Chambers, and many others, have spontaneously sent their contributions ; and it is earnestly hoped that the charitable and the admirers of native genius and un obtrusive merit will support and encourage the laudable object which the Committee have in view. Dundee, March 10, 1848. Contributions will be received by any of the Members of Commit tee; and at the shops of Messrs. Chalmers, Shaw, and Middleton, Booksellers, and Mr. Mills, Perfumer, Dundee. DEATH OF WILLIAM THOM, THE INVERURY POET. (To the Editor of the "Dundee Courier.") Dandee,.Februal7 29, 1848. Sir,—The painful task has been deputed tome of announcing to the public the death of William Thom, the Inverury poet. For some time past he had been in delicate and declining health ; and his diseased state of body was doubtless aggravated by the uncer tainty of his circumstances, and the consequent anguish of •his honourable and sensitive mind. Yesterday, In our city, at half past eleven a.m., ho departed this life. He has left behind him something more than a name—some true and beautitul strains. which, as " a thing of beauty is a joy for ever," the world will not Willingly suffer, like the inscription en the coffin, to be buried in the tomb. He has left behind him, alas something of yet ten derer and more mournful interest—a widow and three children, th 7 eldest of whom is only four years, and the youngest but a few months old. These are " utterly destitute," and but for the kind ness of one or two private friends, might have been cast out ere this to the charity of the streets. I make no appeal in behalf of the poet himself; " after life's fitful fever he sleeps well." He has found what the most troubled and tempest-tossed wanderer will at last find, and which to him was peculiarly grateful—rest. Nor will I indulge or express any vindictive feelings as to the treatment which he received while yet alive. A true poet, he met with truly poetic usage. He was caressed, but not fed ; as if one could stip on incense, or as if one public dinner could keep a man alive for years ! But I would bespeak general, sympathy in behalf of his destitute family. I would implore- every lover of literature— every one who has derived pleasure from the departed poet's lyrics, or from the simple story of his life—to prove their pleasure and their gratitude true by some more substantial evidence than ex clamations or tears. I would call especially upon those who saw him at our late Watt Festival, and heard almost his latest breath given forth in those brief, broken, but thrilling accents—accents how far superior to the measured cadences of rhetoric—to testify by generous deeds their sense of melancholy satisfaction that theirs was the privilege of meeting with and hearing him for the last time. No time ought to be lost. Indeed, no time has been lost. Intima tions to the above effect either have been, or are immediately to be, dispatched to Douglas Jerrold, Charles Dickens, Lord Jeffrey, and others. But as Dundee has had the honour of containing his death bed, let us follow the start we have accidentally gained by instant, active, strenuous efforts in behalf of his widow and his fatherless bairns. Messrs. Chalmers, Middleton, and Shaw, Booksellers, and Mr Mills, Perfumer, have kindly undertaken to receive donations. The smallest sums will be welcomed I am, Sir, yours truly, GEORGE GILFILLAN. The last verses of the late William Thom, written shortly before his death : SONG OF THE DWELLERS IN DEAN VALE. Tune—" Miller o' Dee." While we laugh mid sing, in this happy ring, With a bright and a brotherly glee, May we never forget that the sun hath set On the homes of misery. For oh ! it may be that this chill night wind Sweeps round some fireless hearth, Freezing the heart of the homeless ono, With never a friend en earth. Then aye, as we sing, may we closer cling, In our bright arid brotherly glee ; Yet never forget that the sun may set On the homes of misery. Man was not made for this world alone, The world was lent to man ; 'Tis a debt we owe to Heaven, you know, Then pay it as well as you can. Now winter rides mad in his carriage of snow, With his pelting rain and his hail ; May it never be said that hanger and woe Held abiding in bonny Dean Yale. Then aye, as we sing, may we closer cling, In our bright and brotherly glee, And never forget that the sun may set On the homes of injury. SCAIIBORO'. W. THOM.

One half the world are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item in the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. Marriage requires the fitifilment of several conditions. In order that it may, be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil. which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused. the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less Injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on the nature and consequence of whieh this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, than any other to which it is subject. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of more importance than the preservation of the health and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination n ascertaining the causes of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by his possession of the requisite legal Captuiro.lluSittsh, the athe u i t s m en os ti t ti c ed on te e s n t e e e em sho m ul d d respect In tinendheisd. p profes sional LA' l l , R an T d ha t s he obtained great etxhteenhtigohfeshtismpedraiccatlicheonfoornrms, many asnyhiys years s lom is diplomas certify and guarantee G Gordon, 146, beadenhall-street, London; or, free by post for forty - two stamps, to - f e treatment orhisprofe of thesessionale diseases.xperienee , which has reference al mos t solely th Published by the Author, and may be had of Kent and Richards, 8 5 t, 2, e I e ' t a , Paternoster-row; ; ;Hmanannasi y cj !3 ' from .he Author, who may be consulted on these disorders personally 1 15, Oxf o rd-stree t; Fleet-street ; Starie, or by letter, daily, from Ten till Two, and from Five till Eight . at his realdeucm. 37, BectOrti-pluaro London.

The text of the volume fully bears out the following remarks made by the authors in the preface, while acknowledging their sense of the unrivalled popu larity to which their labours are indebted for a circula tion interrupted only by the occasional delays of revision and printing:... To each successive reprint the most assiduous attention is devoted; each article is separately and distinctly revised, emended where inaccuracy is discovered, and extended by such new information as may be obtained from public records or private papers regarded as trustworthy. The voluminous collections made by the authors themselves for their History of the Landed Gentry' and other genealogical works, have in this respect been found of the utmost value, by ena bling the authors to enter at large into collateral lines, and thus to enrich their pages by an accession of names to the respective pedigrees which h a d p rev i ous l y b een excluded. [ADVERTISEMENT.)—A Gentleman Regained the Use of his Limbs by the Effect of Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—Mr. John Cock, a highly respectable gentle man residing at Madron, near Penzance, has been con fined to his house for a considerable period from a fear ful attack of paralysis. He had recourse to the best medical aid but to no purpose, as in such cases the usual treatment never does any good, he then resolved upon using Holloway's ointment and pills, and to the surprise of all who knew his deplorable state, these wonderful medicines alone have restored him to perfect health and the complete use of his limbs. These valuable medicines are sold by all druggists, and at Professor Holloway's establishment, 244, St ran d, London. CHARTIST MEETINGS IN BIRMINGHAM.—TUESDAY. —The Chartists of this town continue to hold their nightly meeting. They pass by, however, perfectly un heeded by the middle and influential classes of the inhabitants. Last night an attempt was made by the more sober-minded Reformers of the borough to pro mote a middle-class movement. The meeting took place at Corbett's Temperance Coffeehouse, and was presided over by Mr. P. H. Muntz. There is, notwithstanding, a sad lack of enthusiasm amongst the inhabitants. The position of the Chartists provokes universal ridicule. HORRIBLE DEATH.--On Monday last a young man named Charles Tyler, aged about twenty years, was the victim of a most frightful accident at the Lanthony limekilns, near this city. On Monday he had been working in the fields, where he got very wet, and about twelve o'clock he came to the kilns to dry himself. William Williams, a limeburner, left him there at that hour, and on returning to the spot about two o'clock, ho took a barrow-full of coals to the top of the kiln for the purpose of feeding the fire, and on looking down he saw the deceased lying on the strong fire, his clothes com pletely consumed from his person, and his dead body burning. DEATH FROM AN ABSURD FEAT.-.The weekly re turns of the Register-General for the week ending April 8, reports the following decease:—ln St. George's Hos • pital, a coal-porter, aged twenty-four, died from he morrhage from the internal carotid artery, consequent on a burn of the mouth and throat, caused by a red-hot poker forced into the mouth by falling while carrj ing the poker between his teeth as a feat. Three days elapsed between the receipt of the injury, and the A death. LAMB ETIL The brother of Wiliiana Sale, who was executed at the Old Bailey a short time since for the murder of Mr. Bellchambers, in Westminster, was . committed on a charge of stealing some to o l s f rom the shop of Mr. Allen, a blacksmith, in Edward-street, York-road, Lambeth. The prisoner, it appears, has been a thief from a mere child, and has been frequently summarily con victed for petty robberies; and he is the person whom his brother alluded to in a letter he wrote a few days before his execution, hoping he would keep out of trouble. The prisoner, who it appeared had only been dis charged from prison a day or two before the execution of his brother, attended the awful exhibition; and on seeing the murderer on the gallows, he frequently ex claimed, " Bravo, 'rum! I knew you'd die game." The mother of the prisoner was also, it was said, present at the execution, with a female who lived with the male factor, and in the afternoon got beastly drunk, and boasted of the " pluck" and " game" exhibited by her son. A third member of the family, who is older than the prisoner, has been transported, and is at present in New South Wales. DARING BURGLARY NEAR GRAVESEND. At the County Magistrates'-office, Rochester, on Monday, George Bennett, Charles Tomlvn, Alexander Wood, John Miller, Mark Brown, Joseph Trimmer, and Charles Jeal, agricultural labourers, mostly under 21 years of age, were brought betore the Rev. G. Davies, Captain Baker, and James Smith, Esq., in custody of Everist, the constable of Northfleet, charged with having burglariously entered the dwelling-house of Mr. Joseph Thorpe, a retired farmer, at Meopham, near Gravesend, on the night of Wednesday last. The rob bery was effected about midnight. The prisoners having obtained an entrance through an upper window, by means of a five-barred gate, which they carried from an adjoining field, proceeded to the bed-room of Mr. Thorpe, an old gentleman, upwards of 80 years of age. Three of the party, with their faces covered with crape, went to his bed-side, and whilst one presented a pistol at him, another held a hammer over his head, the one threatening to :hoot him, the other to cleave his skull, if ho did not deliver his money up to them, at the same time making use of the most foul language. Mr. Thorpe, naturally much alarmed, begged of them not to hurt him, and said he had no money. One of the burglars then took some cord from his pocket and tied the old gentleman's hands and legs very tightly together, and having stationed the man with the pistol to watch over him in bed, the others proceeded to the bed room of the other occupants, Mr. Thorpe's sister, an old lady 86 years of age, and Mrs. Simmonds, his niece, who were sleeping together. Having forced the door open, they immediately exclaimed," We must either have your money or your life." Mrs. Simmonds replied that there was a little money in the house which they should have, and begged they would not hurt them. After ransack ing the drawers, unable to find the cash, they compelled Mrs. Simmonds to leave her bed and show them where it was secreted, by which means they possessed them selves of 71. 10s. in gold, and a small quantity of silver, together with two watches, a box of coins, a gun, pistol, four gown pieces, silver tankard, punch ladle, and several other articles, with which they decamped, but were afterwards traced and apprehended. The prisoners were committed to Maidstone Gaol for trial at the next assizes. SERIOUSCOLLISION ON THE CALEDONIAN RAILWAY. —On Sunday afternoon a serious accident occurred on this line of railway, a short distance below Beattock. The North down luggage train, which leaves Carlisle at 9.30 A. 31, reached Beattock in safety, though about twenty five minutes before its right time. It left Beat tock, however, at the proper time, and when within half a mile of the Abingdon station, and proceeding down an incline, it ran into an empty ballast train which was re• maining on the line, and did considerable damage to several waggons, and also to the engine. The fire man and brakesman were thrown to the ground with great violence, and both taken up insensible. The former appeared to be dead; but rallied a little in about an hour, and they were then conveyed to the Cumberland Infirmary, at Carlisle. Their in, juries are—John 11.1• Gear, brakeman, right shoulder dislocated, and severe contusions about the head and body; and Thomas Wright, fireman, three ribs broken, and head and face greatly crushed. Both men are in a precarious condition. The accident was owing to the signalman being away from his proper place, and the danger signal was therefore not seen in time to prevent the accident. JERSEY.--A patriotic offer, we understand, is about to be made by the militia and other inhabitants of this loyal country to the Government to dispense with the presence here of any portion of the army, now so much required in England and Ireland, and themselves to undertake the guarding of the various military sta tions of the island. Ti DER-in WESTMEMTER: Yesterday Villiam Tomkins, aged 25, who stands charged with the murder of Maria Eddon, was examined before Mr.' Broderip, at the Westmi.leter; Police-court, which was, as on the foritier'•tceak - 4on; thronged with persons anxious to get a glimliatiale4.l" accused. The prisoner was brought, at halt past ten in the morning, from the House of Detention, - Clerkenwell, in. the police van, and given over into the custody of Cain, the gaoler of the court. He walked to the cell with e. tremulous gait, and appeared in a very low and weak state. - His father, mother, and sister shortly afterwards visited him. He spoke but little during the interview, which was one of the most affecting description, the whole of the party being overwhelmed with grief. After partaking of _some slight refreshment, at half past twelve he was brought into court, and appeared at first more calm than on the previous examination. Mr. George Pearse, of 5, Regent-street, Westminster, surgeon, having been sworn, Mr. BRODERIP said—Have you made, sir, a p( 1 mortem examination of the body of the deceased ? Mr. Pt arse—l have. Mr. BRODERIP—WiII you be good enough, sir, to describe the appearances ? Mr. Pearse then repeated his evidence given on Tuesday before the coroner's jury. The external appearance presented a horizontal wound three• quarters of an inch in length below the collar-Ine. It perforated the cavity of the chest ~bont half an inch from the b reast b one, b etween the first cud second rib, wounding the edge of the left lung, peen- rating the pericardium, and wounding the pulmonary artery. Six ounces of blood were effused in the peri cardium, and eight ounces in the cavity of the chest. Mr. BRODERIP—Have you any doubt that the wound caused her death ? Mr. Pearse—Not the slightest. The prisoner became deeply affected, and leant on the front rail of the dock. Mr. BIIODERIP (to the accused)— Additional evidence having been ,taken ag ainst you since you wer e l as t before me, do you wish to say anything in reply?—The prisoner stood motionless for a minute, and then shook his head. Mr. BRODERIP—Am I to understand that you have no - thing to say? Prisoner (in a very low tone) — Not hing . Mr. BRODERIP—WiIIiam Tomkins, it is my painful duty to commit you for trial at the Central Criminal Court for the wilful murder of Maria Eddon. The witnesses then signed the depositions, and were bound over to prosecute. The wretched man, whose mental sufferings appeared to be most intense, was then removed from the dock. His sister, a middle-aged, respectable-looking female, was shortly afterwards so overcome by her feelings, that she fainted in the yard attached to the court. The prisum.r was again visited during the afternoon by his friends, and became more composed. He is an extremely quiet, harmless looking man. ATTEMPTED MURDER of a CHILD IN LIVERPOOL. (From the Liverpool Courier.) This morning a miserably-attired woman, dressed in a faded pink bonnet and shawl, who gave her name Mary Ann Scott, was brought before Mr. Rushton, at the police-court, on a charge of having made three several and determined attempts, with a razor, to cut the throat of her daughter, a child of five years of age. The case excited considerable interest upon the port of a densely crowded court. The principal witnesses against the prisoner were her husband, who is a painter, and her eldest daughter, Mary. Mary's testimony was to this effect:—She bad heard her mother declare frequently, during the last four months, that she would either take her own life or the life of one of her children; but as opportunities were not availed of to put the awful threat into execution, time passed away and no apprehensions were entertained. However, yesterday morning the family were thrown state h n o r e alarm boyi by the p r i soner rushing dosio stairs in a e f t n ee ti n m aj a , t , i s n t g at t i h n a g t s t h ha e t ha " d sh m e u dhrafered ldon h e er y the ou d n ee g d es i child. Mary immediately rushed up stairs, and beheld her sister bleeding from wounds in the throat, inflicted evidently w i t h some sharp instrument ; a nd a cry of "Murder!" h av i ng been rai se d, the p o li c e were attra c ted to the spot, and the prisoner was immediately taken into custody. Dr. La 3 cock deposed that he had made a careful examination of the wounds, and found that the sharp instrument used in causing them had been drawn three times across the most dangerous part of the throat of the unfortunate sufferer, but that none of the arteries had been incised. Under present circumstances, it was impossible for him to state with absolute certainty that the child's life was in danger, but, unquestionably, it would require great care and skill to recover it from the state in which it was lying, and the hemorrhage which had taken place. At this stage of the proceedings the husband of the prisoner, a poor, ill clad individual, was called upon for his testimony. He stated that his wife had had the fever four months ago, and that since then she was never exactly right in her mind, sometimes threatening de struction to herself, and at other times to the family, but never, until now, giving unmistakeable evidence of a sanguinary disposition, Mr. Parkisson, to some extent, corroborated the hus band's testimony. He said the prisoner had delivered incoherent statements in Bridervell, which led him to suppose that her mind was affected. The prisoner, in reply to Mr. Rushton, with tears in her eyes, complained that her husband had for some time been out of work, that her landlord had given her notice to quit, and that the extremity of her circum stances had led her to fear that herself and her wretched offspring would all be reduced to want. One of the Bridewell keepers stated that she had admitted to him that she had cut the child's throat three times with a razor, and that she then dropped the razor through an opening in the floor down into the cellar underneath. Search was made for the deadly instru ment in the cellar; it was found and exhibited in court, covered with blood upon the blade and handle. The exhibition of the razor caused a thrill of horror and sen sation through the court. Mr. RUSHTON asked whether the husband was out of work, or whether there were any other circumstances besides those already stated which might have induced the wretched woman to attempt the perpetration of so diabolical an act? The husband was ignorant of any other circumstances, and he had been in full work for the last three wet ks. Mr. RUSHTON then directed the informations to be tuken with a view to the committal of the prisoner for trial. Ile directed that two surgeons should examine into the state of the prisoner's mind, and that in the meantime the greatest care should be taken of the wounded child at the house_in Oriel-street, where it was now lying. The prisoner, who betrayed the keenest emotions throughout the examination, was then removed from the dock. ROYAL SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—The en suing season promises to be one of surpassing brilliancy. Everywhere tho work of renovation is rapidly progress ing. A superb and entirely new orchestra has been constructed with a view to vocal as well as instrumental performances. Of this building, which may serve as a model for its kind, we intend to give, in a few days, a full description, with Sh a k spere ' s house, Remington ' s aerial-bridge, the Chinese p ago d a , an d var i ous nove l t i es, including I)anson's grand panoramic view, which are all hastening to completion, and will shortly, it appears, be open to the public for the season. GLASGOW.—MEETING or MILL-WORKERS.—About eight o'clock on Friday night information reached the Calton Police-office that a large number of individuals had assembled in a field at the back of North Brooke street, Mile end, and that their numbers were fast in. creasing. The chief superintendent, Mr. Miller, hap pened to be in the office at the time when the report arrived, and he immediately hastened to the spot, where upwards of 400 men had by this time assembled. When he arrived at the place, an individual was haranguing the meeting, and proposing to them resolutions to the effect that they, the mill-workers in Messrs. Templeton, Walker, and Fleming's mills, should meet at the same place on Monday afternoon, and walk in procession to the great demonstration of democrats on the public green. Mr. Miller immediately requested the meeting to open up, so as to allow the speaker to come forward and talk with him, as he wished to be informed of the purpose of that meeting, announcing, at the same time that he was Miller, the chief officer of police. He then requested the !meet ing to break up within five minutes. .s for interference m The individuals swoh little tcomposedthat three the cheers meet ingwere w resented and in less than the specified time they had all sepa rated. Mr. Smart, assistant-superintendent, eastern e proposed thl Mr. district, when he learned the nature of the meeting. dispatched a large detachment of constables t o the spot , who were in waiting in an adjacent field, to have dis persed the meeting by force, if necessary; but owing to the circumstances above - mentione d, their se rvices were not required. CHURCH MISSIONARY SOCIETY.-011 Tuesday a public meeting of the City of London branch of this society was held at the Hall of Commerce, Thread needle-street ; John Labouchere, Esq., presiding. The meeting was addressed by the Rev. John H ar di ng , M.A., rec tor of St. Anne's, Blackfriars ; the Rev. Jas. Harris, M.A., incumbent of Mile End New Town ; the Rev. Alexander Crummell, M.A., a native of Africa, and several other clergymen and gentlemen. From the statement of the respective speakers, it appeared that in India the operations of the society had been eminently successful, more especially at Tinnevelly, in Southern India, which some years ago was under the influence of the grossest idolatry. The society's missionaries were at present labouring throughout India, as well as in her Majesty's possessions in the Gambia, Sierra Leone, China, Angola, Morocco, as in the colonies and depen dencies of the British crown. Although the society had numerous missionaries employed, there were many other parts of the world whore their exertions would be suc cessful, and these places would he supplied as soon as the funds would admit. THE FINANCIAL REFORM ASSOCIATION.—The fol lowing programme has been published at Liverpool by an association recently established:—" The objects of the association to consist in directing public opinion to the following principles:—l. A general retrenchment in the national expenditure. 2. The revision of the as sessed taxes; of the malt tax; and of the excise and stamp duties. 3.
