His talents attracted the attention of the athaest 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 mina; for thither, to use his own emphatic language, he wished to reran, 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 Irons his wanderings, debilitated and impoverished, and breathed his laston Monday, the 28th of February. He has left a widow and three Infant children, the youngest but flue months old, totally unprevided for; and , It has therefore been resolved to raise a fund, in order, if , h ) ;° °Bsl W-t, to affo r d th em permanent ass i s t ance . A Committee ha s "teen.'aftpointed, who have cheerfully undertaken this duty, and aI-' ~P -: ew, Y they are happy to announce that their call has been responded in a prompt and liber a l manlier. Lord Kinnaird, Lord Jeffrey, T4 eaars. Douglas Jerrold and Robert Chambers, and many others, have ipontaneously sent their contributions ; and it is earnestly honed 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.") Dundee, February 29, 1848. Blr,—The painful task has been deputed to me of announcing to 'the public the death of William Thom, the Inverury poet. For some time past he bad 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 aid sensitive mind. Yesterday, in our city, at half past eleven A.m., he 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 felt behind him, elm ! something of yet ten derer and mere 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 bees 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 )East find, and which to hi m was pecu li ar l y grateful—rest. Nor will It indulge or express any vindictive feelings as to the treatment l'fbieh he received while yet alive. A true poet, he met with truly POOtic usage. He was caressed, but not fed ; as if one could sup on incense, or as if one public dinner could keep a man alive for Years f 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 te ars. I would call especially upon those who saw him at our l ate Watt Festival, and heard almost his latest breath given forth i n th ose brief, broken, but thrilling accents—accents how far superior to the measured cadences of rhetoric—to testify by g e nerous deeds th e i r sense of melancholy satisfaction that theirs was 9 e 1 p ri vilege of meeti ng w i th and hearing him for the last time. N otime ought t o b e lost. Indeed, no time has been lost. Intima • bons 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, , 2 Le ssrs. Chalmers, Middleten , an 4 Shaw, Booksellers, and Mr. 4"113, Perfumer, have kindly undertaken to receive donations. The smallest suns will be welcomed • I am, Sir, yours truly. GEORGE GILFILLAN. his death The last — verses of the late William Thom, written shortly before : SONG OF THE DWELLERS IN DEAN VALE. Tune—" Miller o' Dee." While we laugh asd 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 one, With never a friend en earth. Then aye, as we sing, may we closer cling, In our bright and 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 hunger and wee Held abiding in bonny Dean Vale. 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 misery. W. THOM.

Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, sad miscalculated hopes em- Later 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 not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health sheuld form as item in the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

The particular excesses, on the nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severtt misery to the human frame, than Flay other to which it is subleyct!f This work contains an accurate and complete account of the their re Amatemy and Physiology in of heal the Repro active Organs, a n d o f relative cth requires the closest attention and a nd disease. I t deserv edlystudy, for what subject can preservation of the health, be of more importance than the abilities of which every man should and of the physical cap be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether •ed acquired In early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering front their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame airs h 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 ;i qua lifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes nn, al pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. ' - i'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas " r lIfY. and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his p ro f ess i onal experience, which has reference almost eolely to the treatment of these diseases. :._Published by the Author, and may be had of Kent and Richards, Pat ernoster-row ; Hannay, 63, Oxford-street; Starie, TiLhtoriie treet, Haymarket ; afansll, 115 Flea-Art-et ; Gordon, 146, ";adenhall-street, London ; or, free ' by pre. for forty-ea-a olaninzi, uora the Author, who may be consulted on these disorders personally cc bY lett ....,, er, daily, from Ten till Two, and trom Five till Eight at his "'"aerice, 37, becliArd-sstutro London. • ) 1 ~i '- / / 1/ ' / ,:• 7 ._ 7 .-' ' • .., - - - - - . . • r ~„-* ..- ,•-• - • _ -.;,.,,,,,,-, ,4-4-N, .. . . .._. . ~... • Atitif -,.f.„' : 1,,T 3 ,,,.. :- i i , •,•44-•?..i.i-, . , i' ~..„.# • .., -z. -i.: ila - _ •••••••... ‹. -77,. •••, ••••. . ~,,, i ... , • ..i . ,-;.,...,...,,,,,-_„ . iy , - z"•• .

All who are professionally conversant with the condition of oar Hospitals complain of the inadequate supply of well-trained nurses as an evil seriously interfering with the efficient discharge of their du ties. They cannot Vast to their orders being executed by the nurses, and they find that the patients suffer from faults of those on whom, in their state of helplessness, they are almost entirely depen dent ; and it is obvious that any defects in the tempers and charac ters of those who are constantly with the sick must exercise a hurt ful influence upon the state of their minds, and must tend to neutral • ize the effect of the religious instruction and consolation which they receive while in the hospital. It is also matter of general notoriety that great difficulty is found in obtaining well qualified nurses to attend on patients in private families, especially in those of the middle and lower classes; and parochial clergymen feel the want of competent persons on whom they could rely, in visting the sick of their respective parishes, and administering to their bodily wants. The most effectual, perhaps the only effectual, remedy for these evils, is to train up a body of nurses who shall be taught to look upon their work as a religious one, to undertake it with habits of self-control, and with a mind understanding it Hilly, and prepared for its trying and painful duties. The want here spoken of has been felt in other countries as well as in our own, and attempts have been made to meet it. Orders of persons devoting themselves to visiting the sick exist in Roman Catholic countries : an " Institution of Deaconesses" has been found useful in Prussia ; a recent attempt to improve the respectability of professional nurses has worked beneficially in England. The Insti tution which it is proposed to found under the name of " Training Institution for Nurses" will be based on the doctrine and discipline of the Church of England ; and it will seek to accomplish its object, not by selecting the self-devoted few who are permitted by freedom from other duties to give themselves entirely to this, but by endea vouring to act, both directly and indirectly, upon the whole body of persons who are pursuing this as their regular calling in life. To raise the character of the class by offering to its members a training which shall qualify them for their professional work, and be at the same time essentially a religious training; to hold odt, to those who are justified in seeking for it, the prospect of a higher professional position than they could otherwise obtain; and to afford also to those who are ready (without hope of any earthly reward) to give themselves to this work as one of Christian love, a legitimate field of labour: these are the means which, as they have been successful in forming the high character of the clergy and physicians of Eng land; may, it is hoped, be new instrumental, under God's blessing, in raising that of a body which is at present so much in want of Improvement. It is proposed that the Training Institution should be un d er th e immediate superintendence of clergyman of the United Church of England and Ireland, as Master. That the inmates of the Institution should consist of three classes : 1. Those under training as probationers. 2. Those who, after pas3ing through the period of probation sa tisfactorily, are admitted as nurses, on condition of their engaging to continue in connexion with the Institution for a period of five years from their admission. During this period they will be clothed and maintained, and receive a fixed annual stipend, and in return will be entirely under the control of the governing body of the In sti At the end of these five years they will be entitled to receive from the Institution a certificate of their qualification as nurses, and thenceforward to pursue their calling, either in connexion with the Institution, or independent of any direct control from it. It is be lieved that this will be a very important step towards gradually raising the character of the whole class. A nurse having this certi cate will necessarily occupy a higher position than others, will be likely to set an example whieh can scarcely fail to have a good effect upon them, and will encourage those who are looking forward to this as their work in life, to follow in the same course, and submit them selves to the training of this Institution.

A public trial t'oher day took place, Which proved to be a most important cue. MOSES and SON (the plaintiffs in the matter), Set up their claim superior to the latter; And furthermore they claim'd the greatest share, Of public approbation ev'ry where. While Competition, on the other side, This claim of MOSES utterly denied. Well—crowds were there, who scarce had room to budge, To hear the case decided by the judge. I shan't detain you with harangues of counsel— From " Sergeant Right, Q.C," or " Mr. Bounce-all." The one spoke truth, the other dealt in fudge, 'Till thus the cue was settled by THE JUDGE. • "'Tie my belief," said Mr. Baron Reason, " This question is decided ev'ry season. MOSES and SON, as tailors, prove their claim To greater patronage, and greater fame. And from the evidence which you have heard, The greatest favours are on them conferr'd. The specimens of dress produced in court, Are proofs what first-rate articles are bought. MOSES and SONS' attire is most resplendant, And better far than that of the defendant. Such is the judgment, then, which I dispense, Quite in accordance, too, with' Common Sense.' And thus," continued he, " the question closes, In favour of the claim of Messrs. MOSES." This judgment was received with loud applause, Which proved that MOSES' was the public's cause. LIST OF PRICES. MUM' MADE.

According to the usual calculation that 60 59.100 gold imperials are equivalent to 100 sovereigns in London, the transmission of gold from St. Petersburgh would give an exchange on London of 38 45-100 d. per silver rouble ; and the last quotation of the exchange being 36,id. per rouble, gold would yield a gross profit of about -q per cont. The cliarg, - .o of transport would have to be deducted from this, and the interest gained added, the above quotation being for bills on London at three months' date.

HOME ClRCUlT.—Kingston, April 3. (Before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE and a Special Jury.) TURNER V. ISIERYWEATHER. This was an action to recover damages for a libel pub lished by the defendant in the form of a pamphlet. Mr. Sergeant Shee, Mr. L. Gurney, and Mr. Fish were for the plaintiff; Sergeant Channell, Mr. Pearson, and Mr. Henneker for the defendant. Mr. FISH opened the pl ea di ngs . Th e d eclaration charged the defendant with publishing a pamphlet, in which he accused the plaintiff of having induced his brother, Willi am Turner, to make a certain will and co dicil when he was of unsound mind, and incapable of understanding what he was about and also with obtain ing from him cheques for large ' sums while he was in that state. The defendant had pleaded a justification. Se rgeant SHEE stated th e case . T he plaintiff in this action was Mr. John Turner, a gentleman at a very ad vanced period o f l i fe, being eighty-six years of age, and he was compelled to adop t the pres en t proceedi ngs to vindicate his character from one of the most serious libels that had ever, perhaps, been b rought to th e notice of a court of justice. Plaintiff was formerly a member of the firm of Turner and Sons, gold refiners of the city of i London, but retired, with his brother, Mr. W. Turn er, in the business with an ample fortune in 1827, and in 1829 Mr. W. Turner died, leaving one daughter Mary Anne, who was the wife of the defendant, Mr. Wil liam if Steven Meryweather. After the death of the first eof Mr. W. Turner, he married a Miss Etbersey, whowoh ad been the governess of his daughter, and, as the terms with her l adystepmOYthuern,gsh did not live on good which was p e laced in a boarding school at Brighton, at ndltismhaetelbyecammaerraincti quainted with the anddefendatzt,intp him without the consent , an ag ainst the will of her father, who would never sancteieod, marriage, and although he afterwards did be hav g e n n i c t t e ou e r n t l eousl, to ilis it appeared daughter's husband, subsequent conduct towards him that he h i s neaerverrelornoked upon Mr. Meryweather with a favourable eye . The marriage took place in 1808, an d for sorne considerabl e time afterwards Mr. W. Turner was very indignant, and declared that he would not give his daughter any mar riage portion, but after some years he consented to pur chase a reversion, to which his daughter would have been entitled, and gave the defendant 2,500 e for it, an d after wards advanced him 6001. upon his note of h a n d, b ut this was the whole extent of the pecuniary aid he would ever afford him. Mr. Turner did, however, allow his daughter 2001. a year, and although he would not have any intercourse with her husband, he was on very friendly terms with her, and he also provided liberally for his grandchildren, the issue of the marriage with the defendant, and sent them to college, and paid the neces sary expense for one of them being called to the bar. Mr. W. Turner lost his second wife, and after that event he continued to reside upon his estate at Woodcote Lodge, Carshalton, until 1629, when he died, and at this time Miss Ethersey, a sister of his second wife, and some of his grandchildren were residing with him. A short time before this period, at the suggestion of Mr. Robin son, who was his confidential solicitor, he had executed his will, and he should satisfy them clearly that at the time he did so he was in a perfectly sound state of mind, and that the clauses of the will were carefully considered, and were submitted to and approved by counsel before they were executed. By this will the plaintiff, Mr. John Turner, Mr. John Hornblow Turner, two of his nephews, and another gentleman, were appointed his executors, the only legacy to the plaintiff being 1001, and the whole of the remainder of the property teing left to his exe cutors upon certain trusts, and the jury would see that, by the provisions of the will, Mr. W. Turner had carried out the determination he had always expressed, to pre vent the defendant from having any control over his property. After bequeathing 1001. to each of his exe cutors, he gave a legacy of 5001. to the defendant's wife; he also directed that she should be paid an annuity of 5001. a year, but this money was specially stated to be for her sole and separate use, and not in any way sub ject to the control or debts of her husband, and at the death of her husband, and not before, she was to receive an additional annuity of 5001. a year, and the whole of the residue of the property was devised to the grand children, but they were not to come into the pos session of it until they arrived at the age of five-and-twenty, and the executors were directed to allow a certain sum for their education, and no notice whatever was taken of the defendant. A codicil was subsequently added to the will, by which the testator gave some small sums to his servants, and also a legacy of 4001. to Mr. John Hornblow Turner, and again in this instrument no notice whatever was taken of the defendant. About this time it would appear that the testator, upon one occasion, told Mr. Hornblow Turner that he was much indebted to him for his kindness, and that it was his intention to give him a thousand pounds, and having already by his will left him 5001., he handed him a cheque for 500/. to make up that amount. He begged to remind the jury that the plaintilrtook nothing by this will except the 1001. left to him as executor. He did not require it—he was himself a man of fortune, and the 1001. was not given as a legacy, but no doubt merely as a testimony of the affection his brother enter tained for him. Shortly after this will was made, Mr. W. Turner, who was then a very old man, became much worse in health, he was suffering from a dropsical affec tion, and it was necessary to give him opiates, but there was no doubt that nearly up to the last moment of his life his mind was in a perfectly sound state, and he was quite competent to manage his affairs, and to dispose of his property. He died on the 18th; September, 1829, and immediately afterwards the defendant came to Wood. cote Lodge and insisted upon taking possession of the whole of the property in right of his wife who, he said, was now its sole mistress upon the death of her father. The executors were applied to, and they produced the will and read it to him, but this had no effect, and it was with great difficulty that he was at length induced to quit the house, lowing his wife and the children eta there, and the next day he entered a caveat, as a firbi step to disputing the proof of the will. A bill in Chan cery was subsequently filed, in which the grandchil dren were made parties ; and in the course of these proceedings the defendant and his wife put in an answer, in which they admitted the validity of the will and codicil, and since that period the annuity of 500 Z had been paid to the defendant's wife. An application was then made, through the defendant, to the Master of the Rolls, and an issue was directed to be tried, with a view to ascertain the validity of the will, but just before it was to be tried the cause was withdrawn. It was again set down for trial on a sub sequent occasion. A special jury was called to try it, and again the defendant prayed to be allowed to with draw, and he was only permitted to do so upon making an admission of the validity of the will and codicil, and that fact was stated in the decree. The Learned Sergeant said that it might have been thought that, after these proceedings, the defendant would have been satisfied with the opportunities that had been afforded him of disproving the legality of the will, but on the contrary he had resorted to various other legal pro ceedings, the nature of which was described by the Learned Sergeant, and in the whole of which it ap peared that he failed to make out any case against the validity of the will, and at length in March, 1846, the Judge of the Prerogative Court made a final decree in favour of the will, and probate was granted to the exe cutors. In the same year, and very soon after this deci sion of the Court, the pamphlet was published, which proved the subject of the present action. It was entitled, "Extraordinary Case in the Exchequer Court, by a Barrister-at -law." And although one of the sons of the defendant had admitted the authorship of this pamphlet, he should show that the defendant was the real author of it, and indeed he admitted the fact in an affi davit made by him in the course of some subsequent proceedings. The Learned Sergeant then proceeded to read the whole of the alleged libel, and it will be suffi cient to state that it charged in distinct terms the plain tiff; Mr. Robinson, the solicitor of the deceas e d, an d M r . John Hornblow urner, another of the executors, with having induced the deceased to sign the will and codicil in question when he was in a state of insanity, and that they propped him up in his bed while he affixed his sig nature to the instruments. The pamphret also accused the same gentleman of inducing the deceased to sign sixteen or seventeen blank cheques, and alleged that they went into his bed-room at midnight, accompanied by Miss Ethersey, for that purpose, and that one cheque for 500/., so obtained, was placed to the private ac count of Mr. J. H. Turner, at his banker's. The Learned Sergeant then proceeded to comment upon the aggra vated character of the libel, which, he said, went to the extent of charging the plaintiff and the other respectable gentleman with conspiring to induce the deceased to sign a pretended will and testament, when they knew that he was in a state of insanity, and also with obtaining large sums of money by most im proper and dishonest means. At the time this atrocious calumny was published, the plaintiff was eighty-five years of age. He had lived in honour and respectability and enjoyed the esteem of a numerous circle of friends, and he felt that he had no alternative but immediately to take the only course that could be expected of him, which was to apply to the Court of Queen's Bench for a criminal information against the individual who had avowed himself at that time to be the author of it, Mr. Marcus Meryweather, a barrister, and the son of the defendant. The application was made in the Queen's Bench by his Learned Friend Sir F. Thesiger, and as was usual in such cases the plaintiff made an affidavit, distinctly denying that there was any foun dation for the !charges made against him. In the first instance a rule was obtained, calling upon the defendant to show cause, but he never did so, and the rule was made absolute, and in due course the son of the defendant was called up for judgment. Upon that occasion several affidavits were put in by the defendant in mitigation, and among them was one from the present defendant, in which hedeolared that although his son had acknowledged the authorship of the pam phlet, he (the father) had written every word of it him self, and was alone respo ns ibl e . I n th e c ourse of this . proceeding in the Queen' s B enc h, th e defendant 1t upon himself to write a letter to Sir F. The siger,th e Counsel for the prosecution, and in that lettte distinctly r he not only avowed himself again as the author, bu Nzekirtcd that nil the charges Ito had ma de .to rove tt i he plaintiff were true, and that he was preparedp thew. Sir F. Thesiger felt it his duty to hthaantdltehtties let ter letter had to the attorney for .the prosecution, a nd In add it ion " it . n to been placed in the present . declarat ion. these proceedings the defendant bad actua ll y i n di c t ed io the plaintiff for perjury, knowing full well that the indict ment could nzst be disposed of for eighteen months, and, no doubt, with the vindictive expectation that the plain tiff would depart from this world in the meantime, with the ignominy of such a charge being attached to his memory. The plaintfir now boldly accepted the challenge given him by the defendant, and, although he need not have done so, he had chosen to have the pleadings in such a form as would not throw upon the defendant the onus of proving the allegations he had made, but he himself would undertake to satisfy the jury that at thss time this will and codicil were executed by the deceased he was in a perfectly sound state of mind, and quite dozen opportunities reminded competent t t i o ) manage einryh t his a t opportunities of making out his case ' if h e cou ld 'lave nd the ad done so, but that he had always shrunk f rom it, an d :V a t ff h a e i sefeana he nt at. harg e ti m time feared that the defendant had purposely delayed making these foul charges in the hope that the witnesses who could have proved their falsehood would be no more. This had happened in many instances. The Rev. Mr. Ferris, the rector of Beddington. who was on terms of close intimacy with the deceased, was dead. Mr. Ro binson, his confidential solicitor, who had taken an active share in the making of the will and codicil, and who would have been a most important witness, was dead. Miss Ethersey, the sister of his wile, was dead, and so were Messrs. Fuller, Lambert, and several other inti mate friends of the deceased. During the former pro ceedings those witnesses were all alive, and ready to testify to the perfect sanity of the testator, but the de fendant would not then try the question; but when they were dead, he had disgraced himself by putting his son forward as the author of this foul libel. With regard to the amount of damages, of course money was not the object of the plaintiff; he was a man of fortune, and money was no consideration; all he desired was to vindi cate his character, and to defy his slanderer to prove one of the allegations he had made. With that view the amount of damages would be regarded by the world as the light in which they viewed the conduct of the par ties, and if they should be of opinion that these foul charges had been made solely from a revengeful and malicious feeling, and that there was no foundation for them, he felt satisfied that they would give such an amount of damages as would have the effect of com pletely vindicating the character of the plaintiff. A number of witnesses were then examined on behalf of the plaintiff's case, and all the material facts opened by the Learned Sergeant were made out by their evi dence.

Sergeant CHANNELL addressed the jury for the de fendant in a speech of considerable power. He denied that the defendant was actuated by any malicious feeling towards the plaintiff, and urged that all the proceedings he had taken had no other object then to protect the in terests of his family and those who were dear to him. Ho then adverted to the pdtition of the family, and said that, under all the circumstances, the defendant had a right to believe that his father-in•law was not in a com petent state of mind to make a will, and he had, therefore, pleaded a justification; and it would be for the jury to say, when they had heard all the evidence that would be laid befere them, whether or not that plea could be sus tained. Evidence was then adduced for the defendant, the principal witnesses being the children of Mr. Meryweather, who had been residing in the house of the deceased. According to their testimony, the testator William Turner, had, on several occasions, been guilty of acts of great ex travagance ; that he had insisted upon one occasion, to have a tea-kettle boiled in his carriage ; that he used to tear up deeds, and bury them in the garden, and also that upon one occasion he had twisted the sheets of his bed round his neck, as was supposed, with the intention of destroying himself • Some servants in the establish ment of the deceased also gave testimony of a similar character, but the general effect of the evidence adduced - was very far from establishing clearly that the testator had ever been in a state of insanity. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE then summed up the case to the jury, who, after a very short deliberation, re turned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 1,0001. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.— Warwick, April 4. THE QUEEN V. GUTTERIDGE. This case was resumed this morning. After the parcel was sent off yesterday proof was gone into of the publication of the matters complained of. The Bishop of Manchester was put into the box and examined. His Lordship gave a history of his con nexion with Birmingham, of his being elected to the head mastership of King Edward's School, the hospital, and other chariti s ; but it was a mere reiteration of what has so often been in print in the columns of the public press. The Bishop was subjected to a cross-examination upon almost every conceivable point, but nothing was elicited that could in the slightest degree favour the de fendant's case. Mrs. Lee, the Bishop's lady, deposed that she was present on two or three cecasions when he was charged with being intoxicated, that he was not so in the slightest degree; that in fact there was no pretence for saying so. Several teachers in the Bluecoat School deposed to being present when Mr. Lee preached to the boys of the school, but did not observe the slightest symptom of intoxication. Mary Goodwin, a nurse at the Bluecoat School .ia 1844, attended upon the boy Baylis when he was ill, and saw Mr. Lee come in. He prayed to the boy and read a chapter from the Bible. Mr. Lee requested the witness and a friend of the boys to leave the room. They remained out ten minutes. Mr. Lee when he came out spoke to witness, asking her whether she thought he would recover. Mr. Foster came and went with him. Mr. Lee was perfectly sober. Other witnesses were called, who spoke to the pro priety of the Bishop's conduct in general, and at the times expressed in the libels in particular. The case for the proscution had not closed when our parcel left. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Six men were severally charged with having stolen a mare, which had been sent to Epping Forest for country diet, being in rather low condition. After the lapse of a few months, the mare, which was blind of one eye, and had some other disagreeable peculiarities, was missed from the forest, and a few days ago as M r . Hopper, a friend of the owner, was passing through Smithfield, he saw the animal open to the best bidder. Having made an examination sufficiently accurate to justify the suspicion of robbery against the person found in possession, Mr. Hopper had the mare knocked down to him for 51., and told the seller to call for payment at livery-stables, in the neighbourhood of Ring William street, where a policeman soon acted as substitute for the purchaser, and seized both man and mare the moment they appeared. Alderman SALOMON% who sat for the Lord Mayor, asked the first person brought before him to account for the possession of the mare. The first prisoner said he had made the purchase in Smithfield -market for the sum of 4/. 55., of a gentle man, who readily came forward to acknowledge the sale, and declared that he had purchased the mare for 31. ss. Alderman SALoittoris then ordered the first prisoner to take upon himself forthwith the character of a wit ness, and evidence was accordingly given which com pletely exonerated him, but threw the onus upon the individual who made so prompt a confession, and who accordingly was obliged to take his place at the bar. Alderman SALOMONS (to the man at the bar)—Well, what have you to say about this mare—where did you get her? The second prisoner —The man is present of whom I bought her for 21. ss. " Here am I," said an old fellow with a white head. " I sold her to the gentleman at the bar, and no mis take."—(A laugh.) her?

A genteel looking female, about 27 years of age, wearing a gold watch and gold watch-guard, named Mary Taylor, was brought before Alderman Wilson, charged with picking the Tha:ket of a pqmg woman who sat next her in a BlmckwaA omnibus. The ckauplainaut, Sarah Fisher, of Bristow-place, Poplar, stated that she got into the omnibus at Black wall on Monday afternoon, to ride to the west end of the town, and she had 17s. wrapped up in a bit of paper in her pocket.

We need scarcely say that we sincerely hope tl int the peace of Europe may not be disturbed; but with affairs in the position they now are on the Contine a collision between some of the Great Powers is by no means an unlikely event.

The .trade in grain consequently re mains in the same dull state as before, and far from any rise having been caused by the doubt and ungertaii ity which unquestionably attaches to the future (for if war should unhappily break out, this country might find it difficult to obtain supplies, in case it eho uld hereafter be found necessary to import), the :'ten dency of prices has been, and still continues, do wn wards.

From the western and north-western darts of the kingdom we learn that rather increased supplies had come forward, and at Bristol, Gloucester, Bir mingham, &c., the turn had in most et 'sea been in favour of the buyer. At the princi pal shipping ports on the east coast, as well as at the ha act ing agricultural markets in the interior, the deliver ies' from the growers have recently been somewhat me re literal than before, which circumstance, together with the discouraging accounts from the chief consu min g towns, hate caused a reduction of is. to 2s. per qu tam.% Our letters from Scotland also describe the wheat trade as having become very depressed. The reports from Edinburgh and Glasgow of Wednesday inform us that the weather had improved, and that out.door occupations bad been resumed. Farmers had, nevertheless, it seems, contrived to bring good supplies to market, and. the inquiry having been exceedingly slow, prices had given way both for AVheat and Oats, but the value of Barley had rather risen.—Marh-lane Express. NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT. Copy of Treasury Minute, dated March 17, 1848, ap pointing a Commission to Superintend the Completion of the New Palace at Westminster, and the Expendi ture connected therewith:— Lord John Russell states to the Board that 13. e has submitted to her Majesty the propriety of the appoint ment of a commission to superintend the complet ion of the New Palace of Westminster, and the expenditure connected therewith; and ber Majesty having signified her gracious approval thereof, and also of the nomitta tion of the undermentioned noblemen and gentlemen for this purpose, viz.—the Earl de Grey, Major-General Sir J. F. Burgoyne, and Thomas Greene, Esq., M.P., his Lordship recommends that a warrant be submitted for the royal sign manual, constituting them commissioners to superintend the completion of the new Palace of Westminster, and the expenses connected therewith. Lord John Russell further suggests that the powers to be conferred on the said commissioners be prospective only, and that the warrant comprise the following in-, structions, viz.:— 1. The commissioners are to superintend the com pletion of the new Palace of Westminster, with re ference to the designs approved, and the amount of the estimates laid before Parliament. 2. They are to determine upon designs and propo sitions submitted for the decorations, furniture, fittings. fixtures, clocks, bells, &c., which are requisite to Com plete the Palace in a fit and becoming manner for occu pation ; subject, however, to the approval of the Tres- • sury, in regard to the cost to be incurred. 3. They are to decide upon all modifications or altera tions of plan or design which may be suggested by the architect, or other persons in authority, connected with the business of Parliament, except when such modifica tions involve an increase of expense, in which case their decision is to be subject to the approval of . this board. upon all arrangements with reference to the warming, ventilat ing, and lighting of the building, w h en su ch arrange ments 4.

SELF•CULTUBE.—The maxim, that the bow should not always be bent, is not to be disregarded, still less should it be allowed to lead to never bending the dow at all. Change of occupation is recreation " The labour we delight in physics pain." " Try all things, hold fast that which is good, is a divine rule," says Locke, " coming from the father of light and truth." And it will be found that we cannot know one thing well and thoroughly without knowing also many other things partially. Discursive reading, and reading without reflection, are at first to be avoided. Select the best books, let them bear one upon another; collect knowledge; strive to form right principles. " Never be puffed up with the thought that you know enough. Man's life is all education, and when he has travelled through his threescore years and ten, he is still a babe in knowledge, only at the beginning, not the consumma tion of wisdom. Work, then, toil, strive , persevere for yourselves. Self-culture is the secret of success, and passport to renown."—Builder.
