THE PROCESSION ON THE THAMES. TWENTY TiIOUSAND SAILORS ! 1! 0 ! never did Thames on his waters unfold A sight so imposing —a movement so boil. Twenty thousand bold mariners—ocean's best gems— Assembled en masse on the breast of the Thames. 'Twas astounding to witness the boats and the steamers, The " bonnie blue jackets," the colours and streamers. This aquatic procession would cast in the shade The sights of Queen Bess with her best cavalcade. The scene on the Thames was a scene that must claim A thrill from the heart, be it ever so tame. And hundreds of thousands of different ranks, Throng'd Thames's broad bridges and mercantile banks. The spectacle seen was essentially one To bring to the mind Messrs. MOSES and SON, As the newly-clal seamen appeared fore and aft, A moving assemblage in hundreds of craft. The smiling spectator must surely have thought, Of the outfits of MOSES, so skilfully wrought. Ev'ry day at the warehouse of MOSES we view, The sons of the ocean in " jac kets of blue," Arid finding how MOSES and SON can equip, They never feel inclined to " foresake the old ship." The scene on the shore was essentially one To remind the esserver of MOSE and SON", Botk ladies and gentlemen show'd in their dress, A beauty to rival the days of Queen Bess; And never did Thames on his waters unfold A sight So imposing —a movement so bold.

OLYMPIC THEATRE. It is a long time since the walls of thi4 theatre were crowded as they were last night to witne , s the performance of Mr. G. Brooke, as Richard In, The crowd, in fact, was such as never should have been admitted. It is really refreshing to see some excitement in the theatrical world in favour of a high performer of our old school of tragedy. Mr. Brooke has now fixed his position as an actor ; and it only remains for him to do his part in keeping up the interest which he has begot. Not that his perfJrmance last night was by any means faultless. In the first place, in the hypocritical passages be wore the mask so that none could have mistak , -i it for anything- but a mask. None could hive been deceived by so pal • pale a villain in disguise, and the prob:Jiility of the story is irni aired, besides the truthfulness of the acting. Then again diehard in his first scenes —a villain simply frum profound discontent with the world and with himself, coupled with ambitious promptings arising mainly out of such discontent— should have been somewhat different from Richard in his last scenes—thwarted in his purp..ses, excited by individual hatred, and by all the madness of re venge. To give the first villanies all the intensity of the last, is to diminish the effect of the force of cir cumstances, as they deepen the shadows of the cha racter. In the first part more peevishness and less intensity s hould be given to Richard' s h a t re d o f t h e world, to give full effect to that hatred at the close. When, however, the circumstances of the plot de manded the exhibition of the hatred in all its fierce ness, Mr. Brooke was truly magnificent, especially in his under-tones, which gave all the concentration of which ferocity is capable. It was impossible that some remembrance of former actors should not be awakened—it would even have been reprehensible hp.d it been otherwise—but there was much which Mr. Brooke made altogether his own, without vio lating truth. Where all was so excellent, we will not particularise passages, but content ourselves with congratulating the public on the acquisition of a per former in a line where such a performer was so much wanted. Miss May made a good Lady Anne, and the other parts were well supported. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. LIVEHPOOI„ FEB. 17.

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 or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

Mr. Wrotesley, rector of Knoyle, was found dead in his sleeping-room, at about a quarter to eight o'clock. It would appear from what we could hastily gather that the Rev. Gentleman came to the White Hart hotel, of this city, last night, in a post chaise, to stop there all night ; that he went to bed at the usual hour of rest. On the valet going to call his master in the morning at eight o'clock, he found him (his master) stretched on the floor of his sleeping-room quite dead. Dr. 'Fathom of this city was instantly sent tor, when he found life quite extinct. It is supposed that the unfortunate gentleman had committed suicide by tying his handkerchief tight round his neck, as it was so found. An inquest will be held over the body at tell o'clock to-morrow morning, at the White Hart h.tel, before Mr. Wilson, the city coroner. The de ceased was an aged gentleman, a bachelor, and very much respected. His valet has been with the unfortunate gentleman more than twenty years. ATROCIOUS OUTRAGE.—On Monday evening last the County Down was disgraced by one of those outrages which it was the pride of the Northerns to know were rarely to be recorded as happening in this peaceful county. At about six o'clock in the evening a shot, whether from a pistol or a musket is unknown, was fired into the parlour of Mr. Turner Brown, of Warringstown, that gentleman sitting in the room at the time. It would seem as if the arms had been loaded with slugs, as three panes of the window were shattered, but fortunately Mr. Brown escaped itagriog any perscag injury,-13anner qf Otero POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. CHARGE OF FORGERY.—A respectably-dressed indi viduallnamed Mayhew, who, during the examination, became so faint that he was obliged to be taken out of the court for a short time, was placed at the bar, charged a ith forgery by altering the dates of certain bills of exchange, and also forging the name of Mr. Cuthbert Collingwood Hall, of Farnham Hall, Slough, n Buckinghamshire, the son of Mr. Benjamin Hall, a inagistra:e, of Paddington. Mr. Ballantine appeared on behalf of the prosecutor, and said that p. , rhaps a short statement of the facts would enable the worthy ALlerman to come to a conclu sion with very little trouble. They were these:—Mr. Cuthbert Collingwood Hall was the son of an inde pendent gentleman, and having become rather embar rassed in his circumstances, began to look about for the purpose of relieving himself, and, as the best means, began to give bills, which, as is usually the case, were discounted at an enormous per centage. The prisoner acted as his agent for th 3 last three or four years, and, as a matter of course, a vast number of bills passed through his hands. After a time Mr. C. C. Hall saw his fault, and immediately laid a statement of his affairs before his father, who directed his solicitor to settle the whole affairs of his son, . without putting any limit to the amount. This the solicitor did, ond, after a great deal of trouble, thought they had got in all the bills, but to their astonishment it was found that there were a great number of others out, and that two actions had been commenced against Mr. Hall for two bills which were supposed to be forgeries, or to have been suppressed. Mr. Hall made an affidavit that they were forgeries, and happening to meet the prisoner, by the advice of counsel gave him into custody. Ho confessed to having forged two of the bills, but said that a third one had Mr. C. C. Hall's signature to it ; but the date was altered from 1845 to 1847. With respect to two of the bills, proceedings were being instituted by a respect able solicitor in Lincoln's Inn-fields, and his object was to have him summoned before they went to trial with the present charge. Mr. Cuthbert Collingwood Hall stated that he was the son of Mr. Benjamin Hall, a magistrate at Paddington, and he himself resided at Farnham-hall, Slough, Buck inghamshire. He employed Mr. Mayhew four or five years ago to negotiate bills for him. He passed a great many for him, but he (Mr. Hall) kept no account of them. When he explained his affairs to his father, the solicitor of his father was directed to liquidate all claims. Finding that after every settlement had been made (as he supposed) proceedings were being instituted against him, he obtained a summons to enable him to inspect the bills, when he discovered two of them to be forgeries. After inspecting them he was walking with a Mr. Gray down the Strand, and returned, after thinking awhile, to consult his attorney, Mr. Sleep, Middle Temple-lane, and then they went to luncheon at the Rainbow Tavern. The prisoner shortly after entered for the same purpose. He and the prisoner went into a private room, while the attorney went to consult counsel as to what course they should pursue. When in the coffee-room he (Mr. Hall) said to the prisoner that he had a very serious charge to bring against him. Mayhew replied, "I confess to all.' He said to the prisoner, " To what extent have:you used my name, for there are two actions pending against me upon bills which are forgeries?" He said, "I am aware I have done you a great injury, but I hope you will let me go, or not call a policeman in here." He then turned his pockets out, and confessed to two bills being forgeries; one for 271. 14s. 6d., and another for 401. He, however, declared that the bill for 1181. bore his own genuine signature, but that the date was altered from 1845 to 1847, which, on examining it, was found to be perfectly correct. The prisoner also handed him a packet of bills, one of which was for 16/. odd, the date of which was altered. Alderman GIBBS asked the prisoner if he wished to say anything, as Mr. Ballantine wished for a remand. Maibew said that he had had no opportunity of seeing a legal gentleman, and therefore he thought it advisable not to cross-examine Mr. Hall, or make any statement. Alderman Gums remanded him until Friday (this day) week, and directed that the solicitor in Lincoln's Inn-fields should be served with a summons to attend. MARYLERONE. A HEARTLESS VlLLAlN.—Yesterday a respectably dressed young woman, apparently a servant, entered the witness box for the purpose of requesting the advice and assistance of the Magistrate, Mr. Long; and it will be seen that the cruel and heartlessconduet pursued towards her was of an almost similar description to that which impelled Annette Meyers to murder a foot soldier in St. James's Park, last ‘ Friday week. The applicant, who seemed in much grief, stated that for some months past she had kept company with a young man, a private in the Grenadier Guards, stationed at Portman. street barracks, and who, having promised her marriage, had, from time to time, obtained from her nearly all her money, under the pretence of making purchases of furniture for an apartment in which they were to reside after the wedding had taken place. She had DO reason to doubt his sincerity until a few days ago, when she ascertained, upon the most undoubted authority, that he was already married. Under these circumstances she had laid the whole of the facts of her distressing case before the commanding officer of the regiment, by whose advice she had come up to this Court in the hope that something might be done for her. The MAGISTRATE expressed his regret that she should have suffered, by such conduct as that which had been related by her, and recommended her to proceed against the soldier in the County Court for the amount which he had obtained. THE MURDER BY A PRIEST IN FRANCE. ASSIZES OF TIIE HAUTE GARONNE. . . After the opening of the case by the Procureur- General, in which he brought forward the leading points of the act of accusation, and enlarged upon those which apperei to him to bear hard upon the prisoner (I3rother Leotade), the President proceeded to the interrogation of Leotade. He was first asked if he had been acquainted with Cecile Combettes, the deceased. He replied in the negative. The President then asked how it was that, if he was not acquainted with Cecile Cornbettes as being the apprentice girl of Conte, the bookbinder, he had one occasion, when he took a inept 'ragouts-book to Conte to be bound, de sired that it might, when eini.died, be sent home by la petite? The prisoner replied that he had no recollection of having said anything of the kind. Ho was next interro gated as to the way in which he had employed his time on the 15th of April, the day when Cecile Com bettes was last seen alive. He entered into a detailed account of his proceedings, which was in some parts in contradiction with what he had stated on his ex amination by the examining magistrate, and when these were pointed out to him by the President, he replied that he hal been so tortured by the examinations in question, and by being kept in solitary confinement, that it was not extraordinary that he should have been so confused as hardly to know on some points what he said. The President took occasion to remark to him when he talked of solitary confinement, that there was reason to believe that he was in communication with his Director, and enjoyed many facilities and advantages which tended to show that he was not in so solitary and abandoned a position as he wished to make the Court believe. Leotade declared that ho had held no communication with his Director, except to ask for some little necessaries, and to know if he might be permitted to receive the sacrament. The President asked him whether he had not sent word to the Direc tor that he was very uneasy at the idea of the injury which might be caused to the community by what had occurred to himself. lie replied that he had no re collection of having done anything of the kind. Some questions were then put to Leotade respecting a letter of conscience which he had sent to the superior or director-general of his order. The object:of this ques tion seemed to be to convey a belief that Leotade had been making efforts to induce the heads of the commu nity to use their influence to screen him from justice. The prisoner replied that the letter of conscience was expected from every brother, and was part of their regular duty. Some contradictions in the answers of the prisoner to the questions put to him by the examin ing magistrate respecting the clothes which he wore on the day when Cecile Combettes was murdered were next pointed out. The important fact developed by this part of the proceedings, however, was that the velveteen breeches of the prisoner were stained with blood, which he explained by stating that he had a discharge of blood from hemorrhoids, with which he said he was affected; but it did not appear that he had made any communication of this fact to the surgeon of the establishment, although he pretended that he had done so. He was next questioned as to the rab bits kept in the establishment, and which he was in the habit of attending to. He was asked whether ho had not given some of these rabbits to Conte, although they belonged to theecommunity. He admitted that he had, but stated that it was understood that they were to be paid for, and that he would account to the community for the rabbits. He was asked whether he had told Cecile Combettes that he would give her some rabbits, to which he replied in the nega tive. The object of this interrogation was evidently to lead to a part of the system of the accusation which would show that whilst Cecile Combettes was waitingin the corridor for her master, she was invited by Leotade to go and see his rabbits, which would easily account for the readiness with which she must have accompanied him front the corridor to the part of the building where she was violated and killed. Some questions were next put to Leotade respecting the shirt alluded to in the act of accusation. Ile persisted in declaring posi tively that he had not changed his shirt, and there fore that it was impossible for the soiled shirt found in tho room where the foul linen was kept to have belonged to him. The rest of the interrogatories in the sitting of the Bth turned chiefly upon the proceed ings and conversations of the prisoner af ter th e b o dy had beets discovered. Ilis visit to Mme. Conte and his conversation with her, his conversation with a person named Lajus, in which he alluded to Conte as likely to have committed the crime, and other circumstances, were brought before him. His answers were nearly the same as those which he had given to the examining magistrates. He denied everything which could appear to establish a ground of suspicion of his own guilt. On the 9th, the first witness called was Respand, the grave digger of the burial-ground, who discovered the body of Cecile Combettes lying against the wall. This witness, and some other persons who came to his assistance after the discovery was made, deposed as to the condition of the body. Some hilarity was produced in court, notwithstanding the solemnity of the affair, by one of the witnesses, named Leveque, having claimed the priority of the discovery. He declared that he, and not Raspand, was the first to see the body, and he appeared quite indignant that Ras pand should assume the priority. M. Lamarle, the commissary of police, who went to the spot as soon as he was apprised of the discovery of the body, gave a minute account of the circumstances connected with the first proceedings. The hilarity produced by the wit ness Leveque was much increased by M. Lamarle. The President having desired him to give an account to the court of what he had remarked, and what he had not remarked, he replied that it would be a difficult thing to tell the court what he had not remarked. The counsel for the defence put several questions to M. La merle, with a view to obtain from him an admission that the body of Cecile Combettes might have been brought to the place where it was found, from the outside of the burial-ground, and not not from the establishment of the Freres. 'The evidence of DI. Laniarle, however, clearly tended to show that the body had been thrown over the wall by some person of the es tablishment. M. Aumont, another commissary of police, stated that he had been ordered by the Juge d'ln *traction to investigate the circumstances connected with the murder. He had begun by inquiring diligently as to whether Cecile Combettes had been seen in Toulouse after the hour when she went to the establishment of the Freres with her master to deliver books. Nobody had seen her. lie had also examined the ladders and the walls of the establishment. One of them filled the marks which had been found on the earth at the spot where the murderer was supposed to place it to enable him to reach the top of the wall. lie had searched for the breeches and the drawers worn by Leotade at the time when the catastrophe occurred. Ile found the former, but could obtain no trace of the latter. N. Lafont, an architect, laid before the court a ground plan of the premises, and M. Lezerd produced a plan in relief. The next witness examined was N. Estevenet, a physician and surgeon- He gave a description of the dead body from which it appe are d that the head had been fractured in several places, as if w i t h a s t one , or woo d en shoe, or some other blunt instrument. In the hair were fragments of stone, earth, s se., which appeared to have been detached from the wall, and upon the wall itself above the body there were marks indicating that some thing had passed over it, nod torn a portion away. It was quite evident to the witness that the body had not been brought from the Rue Riquet which adjoins the burial ground, for there were obstacles in the way which must have been deranged if such had been the case, but which had not been touched. Near the wall in the in terior of the establishment of the Freres there were marks, which indicated that somebody had been passing; there were plants which had been trodden upon, and one had been quite torn up. In the hair of the deceased was a fragment of a geranium, and near the wall, over which the body must have been thrown, there were geraniums growing. There was also on the h otly portions of an other plant, which was growing in the garden of the establishment, and over which probably the body had been dragged. This witness deposed t o t h e traces o f violation aluded to in the act of accusation, and to the fact of the {emit! discharge. He stated that the contents of the stomach had been examined in order to arrive at a knowledge of the time when the murder was committed . llis opinion, and that of the persons who assisted him in the examination was, from the state of the undigested aliments, that life had ceased about three hours after the victim had last eate n. It will be remembered that Cecil Combettes arrived at the establishment of the Freres at about nine in the morning, and that she break fasted a short time before she left her master's house. Dr. Estevenet then gave an account of a vi s i t which he paid to the garden of the establishment of the Freres on the 16th of April, after the murder. Ile had with him one of the Freres on one side, and Leotad e on the other. On seeing foot-marks, Leotade said that it was probably noxs autres fares who had made the mai l s on going near the wall with the gardener. Leotade, on being asked w hat he hail to say to this part of the deposition, denied that he had been in the garden on the 16th—on the 17th he mi ght have been there. Dr. Estevenet said he would not speak positively as to the day. Leotade said he had no recollection of having made the remark mentioned by the witness, but it migh t b e true. Dr. Estevenet was then asked if Leotade had made any remark to him about his shirt, as he pretended to have done? The witness replied that he had no recollection of his having done so. The President asked Leotade if he persisted in saying to the doctor that he had not changed his shirt? He replied, yes; my breeches were torn, and N. Este vent said to me, " You are very poor," on which I re plied, I have. not even changed my shirt. Gaussail, another medical man, gave evidence as to the violation and murder similar to that of N. Este venet. The previous virginity of the deceased was proved by the statement of this as well as the other ' medical examiner. Ressaire, another physician and surgeon, who ex ambled the body of Cecile Combettes, corroborated the evidence of Messrs. Estevenet and Gaussail, as to the state of the body and the '.ause cf death. • This closed the proceedings of the third day. At the sitting of the 10th, medical evidence was adduced to show that the excremental matter found on ) the body of deoeued, was of a nature similar t c , that PUBLICATIONS.

" Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor• Lundy of publicly thanking Mr. W. Gemstone, of the Rerbary, High gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hai r on her head, after using it about four months, and the whole of her hair is much stronger and more luxuriant than lever was before the baldness appeared. "Mrs. Weeltley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s Rog,enator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an 1 Is. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund tr.e, but as a cure at nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume iti far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any ady of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afa w drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, mace it strong, and prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this dellyhtful product of the cost aro:natic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion t) the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops on the crown of the head ; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of as hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair on ehildreits heads in a VOW appplications. It used on infants' heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See pamphlet et testimonials.

EXTRAORDINARY SCENE IN COURT.—Yesterday Mrs. Sarah Lancaster, a stylishly-dressed woman, of portly stature and well looking, who evidently possessed a violent temper, was placed at the bar before Mr. Combo, on a peace warrant, charged by Mr. George Carter, pro prietor of the Albion public-house, Maiden-lane, Isling ton, with having threatened his life, by which he went in bodily fear. Mr. Robinson attended for the prosecution, and Mr. Wakeling for the defendant. Mr. Robinson said that his client was a highly respectable licensed victualler, who, unfortunately, about eight months ago, took defendant into his service as housekeeper. She was a married woman, and after being there a short time an intimacy peculiai to mar ried life ensued between them. She had everything in the shape of domestic comfort, but in consequence of the violence of her temper his life had been a misery to him. She was in the habit of threatening to shoot him and stab him, and swore she" would purchase a pistol and shoot him like the soldier in St. James's Park. Her husband was present, and had been living on his client, he knowing that his wife was living and bedding with him. He would now willingly forego further proceed ings if Mrs. Lancaster would put in bail and promise never to return to his client's house. Mrs. Lancaster, bursting into tears, and stamping violently on the floor—" No, never. He seduced me from the house of my dear uncle, who is a gentle:clan of fortune in Islington: Send to my uncle. Where am I to go to ?" Mr. Robinson—Go back to your husband. Mr. %Vakeling—Your client has agreed to settle 5001. a•year upon her. Mr. Robinson denied this, and said unless she put in bail, and promised not to return to his client's house, ho must enter into the case. He then called Mr. Carter, who mounted the witness-box. Mrs. Lancaster—Oh, my dear, I will promise not to go back to the house, if I can get my property from the house. Mr. Robinson—l shall be content if her husband becomes security for her not returning to the house of my client. Mr. Lancaster, the husband, then made his appearance in the witness-box, and cut a very sorry figure in court. Mr. Conine—Will you become bail for her not return ing to Mr. Carter's house?—Mr. Lancaster (scratching his head and hesitating)—Why, I must consider that subject. Mrs. Lancaster—You fool, say yes.—(ll laugh.) :1,1.r. Robinson—Well, I shall go on with the case. Mrs. Lancaster (entreatingly and with vehemence) — I assure you I will not go back to his house, (to Mr. Lancaster) say " Yes." Mr. Lancaster—Well, I will be her bail. Mr. COMBE —Pray where do you live?—Mr. Lancas ter—No. 7, River-street, Islington. He was then bound over in the sum of 401., and Mrs. Lancaster in the same amount, not to return to Mr. Carter's house. Mr. COMM instructed that an officer should accom pany Mr. Lancaster to Mr. Carter's for the purpose of selecting the property, and thus the matter ended. LAMBE7II. THE CHARGE OF ALLEGED CONCEALMENT OF BIRTH. —Yesterday Mr. William Bennett, proprietor of the Crooked Billet public-house, in Johnson's-change, Rosemary lane, appeared before Mr. Norton, for final examination on a charge of being concerned in the con cealment of the birth of an infant to which his maid, Sarah Davey, had given birth. The facts have recently appeared. After the examination of three fresh witnesses, Mr. NORTON remarked that it was perfectly clear, from the evidence, that the deceased young woman, Sarah Davey, had been delivered of a child before she left the prisoner's house, but what had become of the body of the infant there was no evidence to show. It had been stated, for the first time, that the child was still-born, and from this circumstance, and feeling that the investigation, which was a very proper one, could not be carried further, ha should discharge the prisoner. The prisoner was accordingly discharged. ELOPEMENTS.—A beautiful Greek girl, Miss P., eloped on Monday last with a Mr. P., who has for a long time past been tormented with the severest pangs that the blind god could inflict on his amorous feelings. The measure taken by th e resolute pai r h as , we are happy to announce, terminated in a reconciliation be= tween the lovers and the lady's parents, and their imposed by the church can b e accom marriage will be consummated as soon as the necessa r y form of " asking" plished. Another lady, a daughter of a noble count, eloped with the object of her affections, a Mr. P. I n verity the old adage that " leap year i s set apa r t f or the ladies to take precedence in matrimonial affairs" seems to be exemplified by some , of the belles of Malta. —Malta Timm S X I FEBRUARY 18, 1848. found on the shirt 562, belonging to the prisoner, and that both contained fig seeds. It will be recollected that the deceased had eaten figs for breakfast, and that undi gested figs were found in her stomach. After the medical evidence, one of the monks, Brother Laurien, was called to prove that the marks found on the garden wall had not been noticed before the time of the murder, but the witness attempted in the most extraordinrry manner to screen the prisoner. He was severely reprimanded by the President, and the case was again adjourned. [PRICE SD. SOYER'S PAROCIIIAL MODEL KITCHEN FOR THE POOR WEAVERS OF SPITALFIELDS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Having lately been introduced by several gentlemen of distinction to the Reverend Joseph Brown, the benevolent pastor of St. Matthew's, Spi talfields, with the view of relieving, if possible ? at a trifling expense, the sufferings of the greatest part of that industrious but distressed class of society, the weavers of Spitalfields ; and having with that gen tleman visited several of their abodes, we found in many of the houses families of five or six, in a small room, entirely deprived of the common necessaries of life. No food or fire, and hardly any garment to cover their persons, and that during the last severe frOst. In one of the attics we visited, we inquired of a woman, how they subsisted P "My husband," said she, " has had no employment during the last four months, and that they merely lived upon what they could get by begging in the streets, and that she and her children bad not touched a bit of food for twenty four hours, the last of which consisted of apples partly decayed, and pieces of bread given to her hus band in charity," which food we may consider, if ever so plentiful, to be pernicious to health. The only piece of furniture in this gloomy abode of misery was the weaving machine, now at rest, and which; in times of prosperity, was used to provide food ; and made, if not a wealthy, at least a happy home, for this now wretched and destitute family ; and the scientific productions of which has often, and now even adorns the persons of thousands of the aris tocracy and gentry of this country. I am quite convinced, Sir, that the wearers of these luxuries possess at all times the most chari table feelings towards their fellow-creatures in dis tress, and that when they are made aware, through the medium of your powerful journal, of the fact of the present lamentable position of those who have by , their industry so often gratified their sight and wishes, none will refuse, I am certain, a small token of charity towards the relief of those unfortunate martyrs of industry, whose poverty no one can blame, but whom every one must pity. After having witnessed such distressing scenes, I immediately proposed that ray subscription model kitchen for the poor, which was making at Messrs. Bramah and Prestige's factory, should be erected, without loss of time, in the most populous district of Spitalfields, where there are no less than 10,000 poor people in one parish, and hardly any wealthy amongst them to give them relief. I am happy to inform you, Sir, that my first experiment, made last Saturday, has been most , successful, having been able to make a most excellent peas panada and meat soup in less than one hour and a half, and that at a very moderate expense (the quickness and saving of which is partly owing to the contrivance of my own steam apparatus), and which food was distributed, without any confusion, in less than twenty minutes, to about 350 children, who were selected for the occasion from different schools, the remainder of the foo3, with bread, being given away to many poor families in the neighbourhood. The kitchen will remain open daily, and nothing will be given away but to those who are proved to be quite destitute, old, or infirm. A quart of food or soup and nearly half a pound of bread will be given for a penny. All information respecting the issuing of tickets will be made known through the medium of the public press. I am aware that noblem en, gentlemen, and tradesmen have to support' the poor of their own parishes, and therefore suggest that not more than a guinea shall be received from any one as a sub scriber, but from sixpence to the above sum will be most thankfully received, and disposed of with the greatest economy. I beg to observe that any of the subscribers wish ing their names kept private will be pleased to make a private mark, that they may see it correctly en tered in a catalogue, to be published monthly, with an account of all subscriptions received, expenses in• curred, the ingredients consumed, with a correct statement of the poor relieved. I trust, under these circumstances, you will be good enough to give a place for this in your valuable journal. With the highest consideration, I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obliged, Reform Club, Feb 17. A. SOYER. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISIONS. (From the Votes and Proceedings of the House of Commons.)

SALE OF A VALUABLE COLLECTION OF ETCHINGS BY REMBRANDT, &c.—Yesterday Messrs. Christie and Manson, the auctioneers of King-street, St. James's, proceeded with the sale of a valuable collection of etch ings by Rembrandt, in fine and first states. The follow ing, out of the 100 lots, into which the sale was divided, were worthy of notice :—Portrait of " John Lutma," first state, sold for 33 guineas. Portrait of " Old Hem ming" sold for 14 guineas. " The Burgomaster," six very fine, sold for 9 guineas. " The Little Coppenol," India paper, with Rembrandt's autograph, sold for 51 _ _ 17s. 6d. - A portrait of " John Lutrna," second state, sold for 6/. " Rembrandt Drawing," first state, sold for 6 guineas. " Landscape with Cottage and Barn," sold for VI. In addition to the etchings there were some fine engravings in the first state sold, of which the following deserve attention ;—" The Last Supper," after L. da Vinci, by Raphael Morghen, a fine proof sold for 58/. ; " The Descent from the Cross," by Toschi, sold for 20 guineas ; " Madonna della Scodelli," by the same en graver, a beautiful proof, sold for 15 guineas ; " The Marriage of the Virgin," after Rafaelle by Lorghi, sold for 161. ; "La Belle Jardiniere," by Desnoyers, first state, sold for 17/. 10s. There is an old saying that our continental neigh bours invented the ruffle, but that we added the shirt to it. The corset, or stay, has undergone many changes in France, but to render them healthy, when laced to their utmost, has long engaged the attention of the in genious amongst our countrymen. This, it would ap pear, has been effected by the recent patent:of the Messrs. Thomas Brothers, of Cheapside, who, by the aid of an elastic material, of which they are likewise the patentees, have contrived that the pressure of the stay should only be upon such portions of the waist allowed by surgeons to permit of contraction, whilst the chest, &c., is given full play, and the articulation of the hips freedom and ex panse. The stay is myth sought after by the French, by reason of their love of small waists, and who formerly had nearly the whole of the English market to them selves. In compliment, however, to the French Court, it is called the Corset du la Cour Francois. The new Novel by the admired Author of "Emilia Wyndham" has just made it appearance. It is called "ANGELA." We know of no modern writer who has taken :a more powerful hold over the feelings of the reader than this author—whose sex may well be dis puted!—and we think it will he allowed that this influ ence has been carried out to the fullest extent in the new production of " Angela." THE MURDER IN BIRMINGHAM.—The Coronet's inquest upon the body of Mary Ann Wallace, who was murdered in Birmingham on Monday night, commenced on Wednesday night, and stands adjourned to this day. A great number of witnesses have been examined, but the inquiry, so far as it has gone, only corroborates the facts already published in this paper—that the deceased was in a state of extreme intoxication at the time the murder was committed, there is no doubt ; but the affair is involved in such mystery. there being apparently no inducement for the committal of such a crime in this case. The two excavators have been taken into custody, but one has since been discharged, and there seems to be no evidence against the other to fix him as having h a d any concern in the murder. A short time prior to the perpetration of the deed the deceased was seen with a man in a bear skin dress (probably a " navvy," or other such person,) but he has not been heard of.
