THE MAGAZINES. fr,m the River, Index, May, St. Kitts. S:d. Lonuu. I BLACKWOOD. C,po of Good Ilopa ; Albers, Rio Janiero ; West- a_^ , idedly the m os t felicitous contribution in the ininster, New York. 'ut back, Parrock Hall, for November number of Blackwood is the article entitled " What is Spgin About ? " The writer i 3 no superfi cial observer of the progress of events in the Penin sula. His scrutiny penetrates through the murky atmosphere which has latterly enveloped Madrid, and which is principally attribut a bl e t o the misrepresen tations of the Herald() and the other mendacious pub lications in the pay of Narvaez and Christina. That our estimate of the importance of the Carlist move ment in the northern provinces, is coincident with that of Blackwood, we need scarcely declare after the appearance (now some eight or ten days since) of the leading article, in which we tracked the rise and progress of the great cause under the ban ners of the indefatigable and heroic Ca brera. Naga takes precisely the same view of the chances in favour of Montemolin, and certainly the patriotic dream of Escosura seems to be very rapidly approaching its realisation. By the amalga mation of the Carlists of the vielle and of the lende- main (for there are both), with the vast party of the Progressistas, the miserable creatures who uphold the ricketty power of Valencia and Rianzares must inevitably and speedily be outnumbered. Especially is this the case, now that the most distinguished and enlightened Progressistas Escosura and Olczaga, and we might even say Espartero among the fore most—have recognised the accuracy of the opinion expressed more than a year back by a Spanish gentle man of intellect and patriotism—" Las voluntades de tedos se acordarian facilmente silos que los dirigen supieran dar un egemplo de nutgitanimidad, sin aban donar lo que es deber y prudencia guardar." That prototype of patriotic plasticity has been afforded, and the result must very soon be conspicuous in the events which are now on the eve of transpiring in Catalonia and the adjacent provinces. Our old friend Dunshunner revels in an absurd caricature of " Germany and its Parliament." The deductions of the writer are something miraculous after his acknowledgment that the infinitessimal divi sion and sub-division of Germania into thirty-eight independent sovereignties is subversive of all nationality, and incompatible with the maintenance of a prolonged tranquillity. The political article in the number is an earnest demand for " Conservative Union," preceded by an eulogistic allusion to the late leader of the Opposition, the gallant but headstrong Bentinck. The excessive empressement with which Ebony entreats , Sir Robert Peel to abandon the idea of ever again leading those country gentlemen of England who are still infatuated with Protection, is to us marvellouslydroll, and will prove, we doubt not, equally funny to the illustrious Baronet himself. It is as wild an entreaty as though some little cantan kerous urchin were to implore the moon not to come down and gambol with it in the nursery. Never fear, say we, Sir Robert has no ambition ever again to bestride the Rozinante of obsoleteism. In the course of an entertaining paper on " The Naval War of the French Revolution" we meet with a very ingenious calculation of the forces at Waterloo —the Allied Forces being described as merely 40,000 strong, of raw recruits of all nations and languages, and tactics and uniforms, while Napoleon's army is said to have consisted of 80,000 veterans ! Will the truth never be admitted ? Shall the perverse spirit of the notorious charlatan, Colonel Mitchell, infect even the honest heart of Blackwood ? Why history deies a disproof of the fact that Napoleon's army (composed of conscripts hurriedly collected together by the Pere Violette during the Hundred Days) was outnumbered from the dawn of the 18th of June, 1815, and that on the evening of that day, when the Prussians arrived on the field of battle, the allies were very nearly two to one when contrasted with their antagonist! Let the truth be spoken at all hazards. Fiat justitia ruat cadum. It has be come the prescriptive right, as it were, of those Eng lishmen who are vain-gloriously disposed to belaud the Duke of Wellington until the ignorant would imagine him to be at last a demi-god in the science of war. History will s a y w h e th er th e G enera l w h o was fighting for five years in the Spanish Peninsula against a few of the superfluous or supernumerary legions of France, and who afterwards (by the help of a vast preponderance of numbers and of the convenient treachery of Grouchy and Fouche) gained a single battle in Belgium, is to be even named in the same breath with the great warrior who conquered nations in Asia, in Africa, and in Europe; who at different times vanquished Egypt, and Italy, and Holland, and Germany, and Spain, and Portugal, and Prussia, and Austria, and Russia; whose banners floated in triumph over all the great capitals of the Continent, over Milan, and Rome, and Naples, and Berlin, and Vienna, and Madrid, and Lisbon, and Moscow; who from a sub-lieutenant of artillery became an Emperor and a King, and who gave laws to the millions of Europe through a code which invests him with the glory of a Lycurgus or a Justinian. History will speak—in a voice of thunder. After the final portion of "Life in the Far West," there is a graceful memento of one of the most youthful and promising contributors to.pkiehtennd. we mean_ the late_i , Creoroe Frederick Ruxton." " Satires and Caricatures of the Eighteenth Century" is a pleasant running com mentary on the comic memorials of the reign of the Georges, by Mr. Wright—a work already criticised by ourselves. There are two poetical contributions in the current number ; one by W. E. A., called the "Danube and the Euxine," full of vigour and melody ; the other "A Call," which evidently testifies that the lady who panned the verses has no " call" whatever herself to the art of poesy. Besides the articles already enumerated, there is a notice of the Castlereagh Papers, and a slashing review of the feuillitonists in a chapter headed a " Parcel from Paris." So much for the variety and excellence of Blackwood in November. MEAT DIASLXETS. SOUTIIALL, Nov.

This was the first day of Michaelmas term, and the Lord Chancellor, in consequence of having to entertai❑ the Judges, Masters in Chancery, and Qu een ' s Counsel to breakfast at his residvnce, and having also to approve cf the Lord Mayor Elect, did not take his seat in Westminster till shortly before tw•o o'clock. His Lordship, on taking his seat, proceeded to hear motions, none of which possessed any points of interest. ROLLS' COURT.—(THIS DAY.) The MasTER of the ROLLS, on taking his seat to-day, at two o'clock, in the Rolls' Court, Westminster, stated, that it was his intention, in accordance with the arrangements that had been entered into, to sit at Westminster till Saturday next, after which he should sit at the Rolls' Court, Chancery-lane, and should con tinue to do so till the Lord Chancellor sat in the House of Lords, when le would sit in his Court at Westminster. We understand that it is arranged that all the Equity Courts shall sit at Lincoln's Inn when the House of Lords does not sit, and at Westminster when it does. Nothing particular occurred to-day in the Vice-Chan cellor of England's, or the Vice-Chancellors Wigraw or Knight Bruce's Courts. COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.) The Judges who presided in this court were Lord Chief Justice Wilde, Mr. Justice Coltman, and Mr. Jus tice Williams. The CHIEF JUSTICE having intimated to Mr. \Val. linger that her *Majesty had been graciously pleased to confer upon him the honour of Queen's Sergeant, re quested him to twice him scat within the bar. The Learned Gentleman bowed to the Bench and took his place beside the rest of the learned gentlemen of the first row. The first case that was proceeded with was that of Ebirfield r. True, which presented no feature of im portance. A rule for a new trial was granted. SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Under Sheriff 'BURCHELL.) ABSENCE OF WITNESSES.—There were two cases set down for hearing, but after the jnry had been called it was found that none of the witnesses were present. The Learned UNDER SHERIFF said that he could not keep the jury waiting. A solicitor said the notice of executing the writ stated that it would take place between the hours of eleven and one, and the witnesses might have considered they were not required to attend punctually at eleven. The UNDER SHERIFF said ho had nothing to do with that; the cases were called on in rotation, and if the par ties were not prepared the cases must be struck out. This was accordingly done, and the witnesses were called on their recognizances, and by non-attendance have rendered themselves liable to all costs incurred through their neglect. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT'. APPOINTMENT OF THE SESSIONS FOR NEXT YEAR. These sessions, after a sitting of no less than nine days, were concluded yesterday, and this morning the Judges attended to appoint the sittings of the Court for the remaining part of the present, and the first ten months of the next year. The Judges present at half•past eleven o'clock were Mr. Justice Patteson, Mr. Baron Alderson, Mr. Ba ron Rolfe, Mr. Justice Wightman, Mr. Justice Wil liams, Mr. Justice Cresswell, Mr. Justice Erie, Mr. Baron Platt, Mr. Justice Coltman, and Mr. Justice Coleridge. _ The following are the days appointed by their Lord ships for the sitting of the Court for the next twelve naonths:— Monday ... ... 27th November. . . 18th December. ... ...

The Court then adjourned to Monday, November 27. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—Mr. Sergeant Adams, the Assistant-Judge, and a bench of magistrates, sat yester day at the Sessions House, Clerkenwell, to hear appeals. There were 77 cases on the list, 67 of which had re ference to parish settlements. The Court was occupied from ten o'clock till five in hearing the arguments of counsel, but nothing worthy of special notice occurred during the whole of the proceedings. THE SEA SERFENT.—Captain 111‘Qabw, the bio grapher of the sea sercent, had the honour of being en tertained at dinner by the First Lord of the Admiralty, on Monday evening, at his private residence, Eden Lodge, Kensington. A distinguished circle, including liear••Admiral Dundas, senior Sea Lord, were invited to meet the Gallant officer. REPORTED LOSS OF THE NETLEY, ORDNANCE SLOOP.—WOOLWICH, Nov. I.—Considerable alarm has been felt at Woolwich for the last few days, iu conse quence of the non-arrival of the Netley, a schooner belonging to the Board of Ordnance, commanded by M r . Fortunatus Pe!lett, which is employed in conveying stores between the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, and the arsenals at Portsmouth, Plymouth, &c. It appears that the Netley, which had a crew of six men and a boy, and was about eighty tons burden, left Devonport on the 23d of October, and no tidings have been heard of her since. She encountered very severe weather at the time, and it is feared that her cargo, which consisted of heavy guns and shot, shifted in her hold, and that she foundered at sea. The Queen schooner left Devonport on the 24th, a day later than the Netley, and, although she had to encounter heavy seas in the Channel, arrived safe at Woolwich on Friday last. Inquiries have been made at the various ports of the Channel, but without success, and all hope of the safety of the crew is now abandoned. THE NATIONAL SOCIETY.—His Grace the Arch bishop of Canterbury has given the munificent sum of 2001. towards the funds of this society. Ile has also promised to become an annual subscriber of 101. The Earl of Eglinton and Winton, accompanied by his factor, George Johnstone, Esq., is making a tour through the very extensive properties he has lately suc ceeded to on the demise of his mother, Lady Mary Mont gomerie Lamb. Last week he was going through Kil maurs Barony, which contains firavards of 2,300 acres, in the parishes of Kilmaurs and Dreghorn.—Kilmarnock Journal. Lord Adolphus Vane, of the Sects Fusilier Guards, Aide-dc-Camp to Lieutenant-General Sir Willoughby Cotton, late Commander-in-Chief in the Presidency of Bombay, returned to England last week, from India, and has since proceeded to join his noble parents, the Marquis and Marchioness of Londonderry, at their seat in Ireland. BENTLEY'S MISCELLANY. The very first page of Bentley this month presents to our view a most effective drollery by Leech, " Dr. Dodge in the Apple-room." The school eclogue, of which this is an illustration, is a dry quaint bit of humour. George Hodder dishes up a Tete de veau, au snvon. Abraham Elder furnishes an account of marvellous wild beast tamer; and Alfred Crowquill gives a humorous fairy tale, of which the genius of Crochet is the heroine. These are the lighter ar ticles. As a transition from the gay to the grave, we have Albert Smith's "Recollection of a Cheap Tour." The corps of Bentley is rich in tourists. Mr. War ren continues the narrative of his "Adventures on the Banks; of the Amazon ;" and the author of " Way side Pictures," continues his delightful reminiscences of Normandy and France. Avranches and Mont St. Michel are the subjects on which he treats in this number. His picture of the gloomy old fortress Mont St. Michel is admirable, and the legends which he relates of the old Mount are full of interest, and are excellently well told. His picture of Avranches, with its hilly streets, muddy lanes, and picturesque neighbourhood, is a perfect daguirreotype. The following observations on the character of the English residents at Avranches are well worthy the study of all who desire to settle in remote Continental or Channel islands, or even out " of-the-way English watering places, "to live cheap. The seeker of " cheap living" presents everywhere the same characteristics : "It is a strange thing that we cannot agree amongst ourselves in settlements which we select for our own convenience, and where it is so essential to our comfort to promote cordiality and good-fellowship. But an Englishmaa carries with him, wherever he goes, two obstinate antipathies : first, a disrelisb, or contempt, for everything that is not English ; second, a freezing sus picion and distrust of everything that is. He moves in a repellant atmosphere, shuts himself up in a crust of prejudices, and has a way of disdaining the people, whose resources he has come to eat up, and at the same time of shunning his own countrymen, which is irre concilable with common sense. He dislikes the French because they are French, and avoids the English because they are English. Such is literally the logic of his national aversions. In places like Avranehes, which are selected on the common ground of cheapness, this latter antipathy shows itself in its most unworthy aspect. An Englishman will have it believed that every body has come there for economy, except himself; and his conduct implies a sort of superi , rity over them which must be unintelligible to people like the French, who never suffer such considerations to interfere with their sympathies, or interrupt the flow of social inter course. The prevailing occupation of a community that thus sits in judgment on itself is scandal of the meanest kind. Each individual seems to think the depreciation of other people's character indispensable to the elevation of his own. lie shines by the force of contrast. He makes out his case, not upon its own merits, but by damaging the case of the gentleman over the way. Next-door neighbours supply the whole business of life. They cannot dress, dine, walk without being exposed to an'incessant inquisition. Habitual defamation gradually splits up the little colony into factions that have their distinct, circles holding no intercourse with the rest, and waging against each other that bitterest of all species of warfare, which, not content with open manifestations of derision and hostility, penetrates to the secrets of house holds, and strikes its shafts into the eore of domestic life." We have yet another traveller to whom to pay our homage —Mrs. Ward, who in the " Emigrant Party" breaks, comparatively speaking, new ground, and introduces us to the Boers and Hottentots, and Kafirs of the wilds of Southern Africa. Mrs. Ward is a most agreeable traveller, and we trust that this will not be the last Treck of which she will give us a narrative. This number is likewise rich in biography. Besides an account of the latter years of the Emperor Charles V., we have an interesting biography of Maria Edge worth, and an o th er o f poor C apta i n Marryat, the latterillustrated by a life-like portrait. We have also an elaborate review of the Fairfax manuscripts, which may likewise, perhaps, be classed under the head of biography.

Mr. Dudley Costello, with all the zest of a bachelor, tells of the "Adventures of a Wedding Tour," and Mr. John Oxenford, throwing aside for once the wizard garment of a translator, recounts the fortunes of the Princess Adelaide, and depicts th 3 marvels of Sir Strado's " Castle of Schildheiss." The names of the writer, familiarised by a thousand pleasant memories, will of themselves be ample guarantee for amusement. A Dr. Robert son Noel trie s t o b e very funny a la Barham in travestying the "Legend of the most holy St. Dun stan, Archbishop of Canterbury." Let him hence forth be aware of this, that he has not even a rag of the selvidge of the cloak of Ingoldaby. Cyrus Redding resumes his "Reminiscences of Campbell," and is as agreeably gossipping as ever. In additi on to the foregoing, we have a sonnet by Captain Medwin; and further con tributions from Long, Rowcroft, Napier, and Jolly Green. AINS WORTH. Phiz's illustration to the present instalment of " Crichton" is worthy of himself, of Crichton, and of Ainsworth. It is the memorable descent of the ver satile Scot from the summit of the column. Caroline de Crespigny, not daunted by a "jewel of verse" almost synonymous in Coleridge, writes a long rhythmical effusion called "Genevieve." J. E. Car penter is still industrious in dashing melodies from his lyre. Charles Hervey gives us a droll ollapodrida of an article, " L'Embarras du Choi's." And beyond these, we have the conclusion of " The Black Slaver," with the continuation of " The Countess of Rudolstadt" and " The Homesteads of Brittany." DOLMAN. In the November number of Dolman there are two charming biographies, one of Father Foley, and the other of Dr. Aloysius Gentili, the latter being the more attractive to Roman Catholics, as a memorial of one of their most eloquent and renowned missionaries. " The Plagues of the Church" is a paper of a theolo gical character. "The Broken Heart" is a simple and touching narrative, and the " Sketches of the Indian Archipelago" are crowded with useful infor mation. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. RICHMOND RACES.—TUESDAT.

HARROW SCHOOL, OCT. 31.—The authorities of the far-famed seat of learning at this place having re ceived official intelligence of her Majesty the Queen Dowager's wish to visit the school on this day, proper preparations were made. ller Majesty arrived about twenty minutes to three o'clock, and :proceeded at once with her numerous suite to the Speech-room, where the scholars were assembled. here her Majesty begged an extra week's holiday for the school at Christmas, which was of course granted. Her Majesty left for her resi dence, Stanmoro Priory, amid the loyal and grateful cheers of upwards of 300 Ilarroviaus. DEPARTURE OF THE INFAMOUS DOBBIN FROM CLONMEL. The diabolical spy, Dobbin, left Clonmel on Tuesday. He was accompanied about a mile outside town, on the Cashel read, by a brace of policemen, and a young man dressed in black, who seemed to be his cicerone, but whose name our reporter c)uld Lot ascertain. Two seats had been previously paid for by the half-past twelve o'clock car; one of those seats was occupied by an anx 7 oui-looking, taciturn female, aged about twenty eight years, %i Ito subsequently appeared to be the wife of the Red Hand informer, the other, as it afterwards turned out, was Dubbin himself! There were also on the car Sergeant Hampden, and Privates Parson and Brien Hanrahan, of the Bth Hussars, witnesses in the state trials of the Killenaule barricades. Hanrahan, we may state en passan!, is a Clonmel man, and was some time ago an apprentice of Mr. William Tenni son, painter and glazier, of Morton -street, in that town, from whom he made his escape without fulfilling the terms of his indentures. Braces of police occupied the road at intervals between Gibbett Hill (a most appropriate locality for Dobbin), and the Mile Tree; and when the car reached the latter place, some of the passengers recognised the cat-like features of the informer, and wore horrified when they learned that he was about to be their companion to Thurles. With the exception of the three troopers, all with one accord vehemently protested that Dobbin should not sit on the car; but the troopers took the trembling wretch in charge, placed him, against the united declarations of the passengers, on the top of the luggage, and he jour neyed to Cashel, where, in some time, as the car was changing horses, a crowd assembled, and having heard that the spy was in "the ancient City of the Kings," they raised a shout of execration, which must have gone to the heart, if he possesses such, of the miserable villain as he sought, from his " bad eminence," to conceal him self from the frenzied eyes of the multitude. The female was exceedingly terrified at this period; but even she did not at that time pretend to reoognise the Attor ney-General's " gentleman," Mr. Dobbin. The car did not reach the Thurles terminus in time for the half past four o'clock train, and Dobbin, in charge of Private Parsons and Mrs. Dobbin, with Private Hanrahan, pro ceeded to the station-house, where Sergeant Hampden obtained for the miscreant a place of security, sending the private to the police barracks for constables, who very soon arrived, and conducted Mr. and Mrs. Dobbin to a lodging-house, where they remained till morning. Not venturing to take the train, a special car was pro cured for them, on which they went at an early hour to Templemore, which they left by the ten o'clock train for Dublin.—Tipperary Vindicator.

PATENTED ELECTRIC LIGHT. We attended a private exhibition—if a gathering of nearly 700 persons deserves to have such a term applied to it—of this wonderful invention, at the Hanover square Rooms, on Monday evening. Mr. W. E. Staite, the inventor, who was ably assisted by his colleague (Mr. Petrie) explained at some length, and apparently wells moon satin action to the meeting, the properties of his light. The light, it appears, is produced by a vol taic battery, containing a great number of improve. ments upon those used for ordinary electrical purposes. They consist i n h av i ng f or t h e i r o bj ect these i mportant ends—rendering the battery constant and regular in its action and exceedingly economical in its consumption of the material used. The improvement in the light consists in possessing the principle of self-regulation by means of the electrical current itself, which is made to pass through a small electro-magnetic helix or magnet, so that the dynamical force of the current acting upon the escape ment causes the electrodes either to approach or recede, according to the varying power of the current. The result of the whole is, that a light may be obtained at the most trifling cost—at not more than the cost of one penny for a light equal to 100 candles per hour. The cost is estimated at one-twelfth the price of gas. The entire quantity of electricity generated in the battery is made to develop itself in light instead of being allowed to pass uselessly through the electrodes. The consump tion of carbon is about half an inch per hour, and it can be supplied for any length of time by a very simple contrivance, and the light may be caused or extinguished instantaneously. There is no fear of combustion, and the heat is vastly dispropor tioned is the light emitted. A light was exhibited of beautiful brilliancy and steadiness, scarcely distinguish able from the light of the sun; it was thrown upon some paintings of Mr. Palton, and the effect was most suc cessful. Fabrics, such as green and purple, not easily distinguishable in artificial light, were clearly visible. So also were the prismatic rays shown on the wall. The light in question was stated to be equal to 900 wax candles, and the heat estimated not to exceed that of a common argand burner. The current is made to pass through a coil of wire, or magnet, which actuates the escapement, attached to the electrode, which causes the electrode to move up and down according to the strength of the current, thereby altogether maintaining the same distance between the two electrodes, and making the light equable. The light is a pure white, much whiter than camphine, and th e on e w e w it ne s se d, which bril liantly illuminated the whole room, cast the wax candles in the chandeliers completely into the shade. The light seems peculiarly suited to all the purposes to which gas and oil are now applied. The patentees say : " It will be eminently valuable for lighthouses, rail way stations, signal lights, dock-yards, theatres, public buildings, churches, clubs, exhibition-rooms, Picture galleries, &c., &c. ; for large shops, where th e e x po sure of delicate coloured fabrics is essential ; together with its application for the lighting of private houses, as it requires no ventilation, and can be put in operation any where at a comparatively small cost, and with entire safety. For light-houses it deserves to be separately noticed, on ace Jura of the immense benefit of its pene trating and powerful character, the remarkable economy of it. alopti on, and the facility of working such a light by submarine wires from any station that may be selected, without the necessity of erecting a building exactly at the spot where the beacon may be required to be set up." In small lights for rooms, &e., the inventors state that they would dispense with the use of carbon altogether, using another material nut yet specified,which will enable them to dispense with the electro-magnetic regulation altogether, by means of which a light of from one candle up to this ty or forty can be placed upon a drawing-room table. The manipulator was much cheered, and, alto gether, we have seldom seen any invention meet with such general approbation. The time, we imagine, is not far distant when lamps of this kind will be in com mon use. We noticed amongst the company the following:— Admiral ßai Sir E. Col ington ; Captain Yollor o , f Royal ow; gineers; Mr. Clegg, engineer; the Ordaance Office ; Mr. George Fre nch Professor Fat aday; s. , veral Lurtt fr o . Reid and Dr. fNtah n Pe c i g h r, ' Br c Admiraltyk e n g d a e d ; some members of the Trinity House; Clancy. Dr. SACRED HARsioNIC SoCIETT, EKETER-RALL.— The first concert for the seas9n of the Sacred Harmonic Society took place last evening at Exeter-hall, on which occasion Mr. Costa appeared for the first time as the conductor. The orchestra ha s undergone many im provements, not the least of which is the removal of the unsighily wooden box in which formerly the conductor was ensconced; his seat is now placed at the edge of the front of the orchestra, thus enabling him to overlook each individual of this immense mass of musicians, a nd placing the principal singers i n full view of him. The performance consisted of Mendelssohn's chef louvre, Elijah, which was never more effectively given th an i t was last evening by the Misses Birch, Dolby, A. Williams, and. Duval, and by Messrs. H. Phillips and Lockey. The chorus and orchestra were admirably conducted by Costa, who was much applauded. The Hall was crowded. TUB FATAL ACCIDENT ON TUB YORK AND NEW. CASTLE RAILWAY.—The inquest on the bodies of the sufferers was opened by Mr. Favill, the coro ner , on Tues day, who, after hearing some evidence, adjourned the in quiry until the 9th. MUNIFICENT OFFER.—The Rev. W. Cotton , Chap. lain to the Bishop of Australia, has offered to give 5001. to the restorat i on fund of St. Nich o l as Ch urc h an d schools, Groat Yarmouth, on condition that the remain ing deficiency be raised by the parishioners. MANsioNdlousn.—The Lady Mayoress had a small evening party . last night. The company, which consisted chiefly of private friends, numbered about 150. Mr. Barnard's quadrille band was in attendance.

That on the Ist of August, 1848, he refused to obey the orders of Captain Alexander Frazer, while on march in Hyde -park, London; and 2. That at the same time and place he endeavoured to strike Captain Frazer a violent blow with his musket and bayonet. Captain Frazer deposed: I was marching m,y company through Hyde -park, L on d on , on t h e Ist of August last. I had charge of a quantity of spare firelocks, which the men took by turns to carry. I observed one of the men had been carrying a spare firelock some time, and there fore told him to give it to Private Toomey, who refused to take it. I then took the firelock, and said to Toomey, " Carry this firelock." He said, " I will not." I gave the firelock to another man, and told Sergeant Carrol to take two men, and confine Toomey. While the sergeant was getting the men, the prisoner took his musket by the butt, and mad e a sweeping blow at me. He missed me, as I started back, but struck another man near him. He then advanced out of the ranks on me; and I ran eight or ten yards off. I then turned to him, and he made a blow at me (or was bringing his piece from the port to the charge—l cannot tell which). I parried with my sword. I then closed, and seized him with my left hand. Some of the men ran up and secured him. This state ment having been corroborated by other evidence, the prisoner, in his defence, said he could scarcely carry his own musket, and that ho told Captain Frazer so. The court, after a patient and careful hearing of the case, declared Private Matthew Toomey guilty on both charges. The sentence will not be made public till it has received the sanction of the Commander-in-Chid 2600 100 0 0 AO 0 0 100 0 0 10 0 0 SO 0 0 100 0 0 2000 25 e 0 50 $ $ 40 • I BRIDGES Dividend per Annum. 355. per cent, 11. ss. 4d. 11. 28. 2d. 11. 17s.

MEETING AT WARWICK. •' ' A public meeting was held at the Court-house, War- wick on Tuesday evening, with the view of raising funds towards the erection of training schools for the diocese of Worcester. Tho Lord Bishop presided, and was supported by noblemen and gentlemen of influ ence. A numerous attendance remained throughout the proceedings, which were rather prolix. Perhaps it is not inaccurate to say that nearly one-half the audience were clergymen, and the remaining portion was com posed chi( fly of ladies. The chair was occupied temporarily by the Earl of 1,,,, Denbigh until the arrival of the Bishop, who had been prevented from being present at the hour appointed. . Viscount LIFFORD, in a few remarks, moved the first resolution, to the effect that the circumstances and exi , geneies of the country call for increased efforts on the ~ part of the friends of nat i onal education. 1 . 76 This resolution was seconded by the Venerable Arch . deacon SPOONER. C. B. ADDERLEY, Esq., M.P., proposed the second resolution, to the effect that educational efforts should be directed mainly to raising the character and qualifi cations of our parochial schoolmasters, and that this end would bo best attained by means of training insti tutions such as that proposed by the present meeting. In prefacing the resolution, Mr. Adderley remarked that it was a great point gained to have arrived at una nimity as to the means by which the great object contem _ plated by the previous resolution might be carried out. The object need never been discussed again. Training ' l . schools were decided on as being the most efficient _ means for raising the standard and qualifications of our parochial teachers, and it therefore only remained to use the best means for putting the institution into opera tion. To this opinion the Worcester side of the diocese had testified its adherence by large contributions, and now it only rested with the Warwick district of the see to give a similar mark of their approval. - He might mention that it was proposed to erect the training school in the neighbourhood of - Birmingham, and it would be open to students from any ). part of the country, with preference to those of the diocese. A certain number of students would be edu cated there, at an expense of Bs. per week, for forty seven weeks annually, making allowance for vacations; and the length of the course would be fouryears, the object being to provide a superior class of schoolmasters, not only for the diocese, but for the whole kingdom. The Rev. J. SANDFORD, Vicar of Dunchurch, seconded ; Mr. Adderley's motion. The next resolution was moved in a speech of great length by the Right Honourable Lord LYTTELTON. The resolution ran as follows :—" That the re cent minutes of the Committee of the Privy Council on Education afford facilities for raising the attain ments and condition of the schoolmaster, of which this diocese may advantageously avail itself." In the - course of his remarks on this motion, his Lordship ob served that the want of training schools existed in an 9 equal degree three or four years ago, but there was not the general recognition of that want which had since arisen. Last year the number of pupil teachers in . training in the schools throughout England were about . 1,000, now they were about 1,800, or nearly double. • —(Hear, hear.) Now the principle being admitted, ' and it had been by this and previous meetings, ' l „ i that training schools are the most efficient means 1 of carrying out the objects in view for raising A the grade of education, he would state that the first ' estimated expense of the proposed Worcester Diocesan • Training School was about 4,0001., but it had since been Os. necessary, from various causes, considerably to increase s that sum. In its aid 5,4241. had already been actually : raised in this diocese, and the National Society had % added a donation of 800/., notwithstanding the condi ' tion—far from flourishing—in which its funds at present are. A total sum of 6,200/. has thus been already raised by voluntary subscription in aid of the institution, and about 2,000 L more was still required. The archi tects had given the committee to understand that N the two schools for the accommodation of 60 pupils might be erected for 8,000/., exclusive of a chapel, and of a site for the buildings. At this point of the proceedings the Bishop entered the room, and the Rev. Eardley Wilmot, Vicar of Kenil worth, addressing the chair, craved to be heard. , The Rev. GENTLEMAN requested the Committee to state vvbether they intended to adopt the standard of qualification that had been put forward by the Govern ment, as he for one felt that that standard was far too high for the wants of rural and agricultural parishes, and precluded many men of diligence and piety from acting as teachers. Several reverend gentlemen also addressed the chair, and expressed apprehension that the Council of Educa tion exercised an amount of control over the school which might be dangerous to the interests of the Church. Lord LTTTELTON replied at much length, contradicting the impression as quite unfounded. His Lordship pointed out that the Government claimed the right of inspection only, and that the visitorial power ON _r the school was left with the Bishop of the diocese, which ought to be sufficient to satisfy Rev. Gentlemen that the interests of the Church would be attended to. The maximum standard to be adopted in the institution, so far as the provisional committee might say, would, in all likelihood, be equal to the Government qualifications, inasmuch as the Government aid was offered to the pu pils as a reward for attaining that standard ; those who did not arrive at that standard might be serviceable in schools of less requirements. After some discussion on the subject, C. 11. Brace bridge, Esq., of Atherstone Hall, moved that the school for the education of tho middle classes of the diocese, which is included in the proposed institution at Birmingham, affords a strong additional plea for its support. Seconded by the Rev. G. L. COOKE, of Cabbingt on. This, as well as the previous resolutions, was unani mously carried. A. committee was appointed to carry the objects of the meting into effect, and, after a vote of thanks to the Bishop for his conduct in the chair (moved by the Hon. W. R. LEIGH, and seconded by the Rev. Dr. MARSH, Canon of Worcester), the meeting adjourned after a sit ting of four hours. FRAN CE. [The following appeared in our Third Edition of Last night]:— It was rumoured on the Paris Bourse yesterday that he troops of Windischgratz and Jellachich had been attacked under the walls of Vienna by the Hunga rians, and had been defeated with great loss. Letters were received in Paris from Vienna of the 25th ult., which make no mention of the commencement of ;CBS' hostilities against that city. M. de Tocqueville has been appointed the represen tative of France in the conference on the Italian question. We read in the Moniteur—" Numerous copies of a political placard were yesterday posted on the walls of Paris, and attracted the attention of the passers-by. This mode of publication, which may have its advan tages, has also the inconvenience of being in contra vention with the law of 10th December, 1830, which contains the following provision :—' Art. 1. No writing, whether by the hand or by printing, en graving or lithography, containing political news, or treating upon political subjects, can be posted up or placarded in the streets, squares, or other public places. All acts by public authorities are excepted from this provision.' This law was explicitly xnanl tained by Art. 2 of the decree of March 6, which is thus conceived :—' Until it shall have been otherwise enacted by the Constituent National Assembly, all anterior laws, relative to offences and contraventions by the press, shall be carried into execution according to all such provisions as have not been repealed by decrees of the Provisional Government. , —The placard of which we speak has been taken down, and referred to justice." The placard alluded to by the Moniteur is, we believe, the comparative extracts from the Presse on the subject of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte. "In its sitting of yesterday (says th e N at i onal) the Club of Representatives of the l'alais National adopted General Cavaignac as candidate for the office of President of the Republic." The Bien Public publishes the following letter from M. de Laniartine, dated Saint Point, Oct. 27 " have just read the report of the discussion on the expenses of the Provisional Govern ment. I have a right to think that my honourable colleague, M. Creton, had not any idea to bring my character in question, in the words which he pro nounced relative to the 374,000 f. of the secret service money for foreign affairs, the only fund that I had at my disposal. According to a phrase of his preceding speech on the same question, M. Creton allowed it to ba seen that, in his idea, the money could have been employed to foment against foreign territories at tempts at perturbation of invasion, attempts which the Government and myself, on the contrary, condemned and neutralised with a sincerity of whwhichl have proofs in my possession, and of which I want no other witnesses than the foreign powers themselves. M. Creton knows, like every one else, that the em ployment of the secret service money of the Depart ment of Foreign Affairs cannot be made public, par ticularly in a time of revolution. The account wa3 rendered to the King alone, and not in the Council of Ministers. Nevertheless, lam ready, as M. Pagnerre declared in my name, to furnish officially and confi dentially to the committee, called for by the members of the Provisional Government: itself, the documents proving how the 374,000 f. were laid out. I call so little the sincerity of my colleagues in doubt, that I desire to reckon the author of the proposition among the members of the committee, and I want no other judge against the suppositions of M. Creton than M. Creton himself." THE HERRING HARVEST.—Yesterday (Monday) in rounding the peninsula of Caerlaverock, and revisiting some of its more central parts, we learnt that the finny natong, in becoming less exuberant on the Scottish side, are, perhaps, preparing to take their departure for berths mu' ne at once warmer in point of depth, and less ex. posed from breadth to the snares brought into play durirg the last six weeks along the shores of the Solway. Altogether, the Solway herring fishery has proved a great windfall to Caerlaverock, not to speak of other pa rishes; and, perhaps, some of our readers will stare when we state that, what with salting and selling fresh, hundreds on hundreds of pounds have been cleared, and may be hereifter, under prompt arrangement, combined with exertion. Even cottars, for more than a fortnight, earned from 2/. to 31, per week.—Dumfries Couria. ed, i is we ate les• 'ht., vay not k or and der the to get out )er )er ,ey led ire !
