The . proceedings were taken under the 7th and Bth Victoria, chap. 22, sect. 2. About three months ago Dr. Halley, of 46, Queen Anne-street, Cavendish-square, and a director of the Highland Society, gave the prisoner an order to make him a Highland purse, with silver mountings, at the same time providing him with the nquiiite hair and skin ma terials. During the progress of the work he called at the prisoners's shop to ace it, and, remarking that the • silver did not look very good, desired him to have the, " hall" mark stamped upon it before sending it home.

Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Ese. Marriaga requires the fulfilment of several conditions. in order that it may be really the cause of m utual ha pp iness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed , in how many could it be traced to physical disqualifications and• their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are alwa y s injurious ; the gift, which when in moderation is fr au g ht with advantage, becomes, when abused . the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. - The particular excesses, on the nature and consequence of w hich this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive " - of greater severity of misery to the human frame, than any other to which it is subject. , This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease., It deservedly requires the closest attention and s tud y , for hat subject can be of more importance than the preservation of the health and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed.. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious 'habits, whether acquired in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequences, unwisely ,ntertains a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination n ascertaining the causes of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by his posse , sion of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect In his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LI'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas certify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

Sir John Patteson arrived in this town at half-past 3 yesterday, and having opened the commission for this division of the county went to church at 4 o'clock. Their Lordships sat in the County-hall at 10 o'clock this morning; the Lord Chief Justice presiding in the Civil Side, and Mr. Justice Pattison in the Crown Court. The calendar presented the names of 89 prisoners and 60 cases for trial ; among which were three of man slaughter ; seven of stabbing, cutting, and wounding ; two of burglary ; one of horse stealing ; one of wound ing and maiming cattle; one of setting fire to a dwell ing -house; one of uttering a forged promissory note for 1061.; one of riot; one of bigamy• one of rape; one of felonious assault upon a female child under the age of ten years; and two of crimes not to be more particularly mentioned. The list exhibited eighteen causes for trial, one being marked for a special jury. CIVIL SIDE.— (Before Lord Chief Justice DsNsiAN.) 3IARKHAM V. HOPKINS. This was an action to recover from the defendant the amount of the plaintiff's hill for surveying, lie. Mr. Humphrey, Q.C., Mr. Mellor, and Mr. Prowett appeared for the plaintiff. The defendant's attorney did not appear, and 'Mr. Whiteburst and Mr. Hayes, who were to have conducted the defence, were not instructed. It was therefore taken R 3 an undefended cause. The plaintiff was a railway surveyor and engineer, and the defendant an architect, now or lately residing in Bedford-square, London, and a promoter and ma naging director of a scheme called " The London and Birmingham Extension Railway," and of another styled " The Warwick and Worcester;" which two companies became allied. There were four competing lines before the House of Commons in opposition to the combined projects of Mr. Hopkins, and the plaintiff, Mr. Mark ham, had been employed as a surveyor to test the accu racy of their plans and levels. He did so, and disco vered 'several inaccuracies, of which he gave ev id ence in Committee; and the opposition lines were thrown out. Subsequently, however, the panic arose; and all the di rectors of this combined scheme, except Mr. Hopkins (Well known in railway litigation from the cause of " W 31,1 v. Hopkins," and otherwise), went abroad. This cause was in the paper for trial at the last assizes, but in consequence of the verdict for the defendant in the cause preceding it, of " Higgins v. Hopkins," and the direction of the jury, and the course of th e summ i ng up by the Learned Judge (Chief Justice Wilde) therein, the record in this case was then withdrawn. The Counsel for the plaintiff now went through SiOr case, and, the defendant's attorney not bein even Wal l forthcoming, and there being consequently n The Jury returned a verdict for the plat ff--da-. wages, 566 L • Shortly after the cause was concluded, and the 'verdict returned and entered, the defendant's attorney, Mr. Vau Sandau, arrived in a state Of readiness to deliver briefs to and instruct counsel on behalf of the defendant, and he intended to try, we understand, before a special jury. A new trial will probably be obtained upon the payment of costs. HALF-PAST FOUIL—A motion has just now, under these circumstances, been made upon affidavit that the cause might be re-tried, and it has been so ordered upon the terms of the payment of the extra costs incurred, and now stands appointed to be taken first to-morrow morning. Of the eighteen causes one half have been already tried, settled, or withdrawn. There were none , other than the above possessing any feature whatever of public interest. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice PATTEsorI.) Thomas Maguire, aged 19, was indicted for a rape, on the 14th of June last, at Coughton, upon Ann Wed singham. Mr. Denison conducted the prosecution. The prisoner was undefended. i verdictpu esrttatboa enend The prosecutrix, who was only 11 years of age, was going, according to her daily custom, at about half-past eight o'clock in the morning of the day in question, along the public road to the Post-office, when she was overtaken by the prisoner, who asked her if she would sell him an umbrella she was carrying. She answered " No;" and he said, " Then I'll take it." She re n away for some yards, and he ran after, overtook, and threw her into a ditch, and there perpetrated, against her will, the complete offence now charged against him. She re sisted as much as she could, but could not cry out be cause he had his hand upon her mouth. He afterwards bade her nut to tell any one, and put some money into her hands, which she refused to accept, and returned to him. A man at some distance off witnessed the conduct of the prisoner. The evidence of the surgeon, who examined the little girl four hours afterwards, went to show very conclusively the completion of the crime. There were, however, no bruises or marks of violence elsewhere about her person. The jury immediately returned a verdict of Guilty. His LORDSHIP, in passing sentence, observed that the case was clearly proved. The prisoner had in fact ad. mitted that he was the person, because he had said that it was not against her will ; but it was most un likely that she should have consented, meeting a perfect stranger to her in this manner on the highway. Not very many years ago the punishment for this offoiee was capital. That penalty had been mitigated to trans portation for life, without any power in the Court to modify it; and within the last two or three years a dis cretion had been given to the Judge. After some severe observations upon the enormity of the crime committed by the prisoner, his Lordship proceeded to pass upon him the sentence of transportation for the term of 15 years. Juba Day was then indicted, under the 9th Geo. IV. e p age, ose d h t a o v i t n h g e for having, on the 30th of July last, at Sutton Cold field, feloniously assaulted Ann Jones, a girl under the ago of 10 years, and carnally known and abused her. Sir Eardley Wilmot appeared fur the prosecutioa. The prisoner was undefended. The child, who was only eight ye:r e s ., o d f been first examined by the Learned Judge as to her knowledge of the nature of an oath, consummation by the prisoner of the offence charged on the evening of Sunday last, the 30112 of July. She lived with her father and mother at Sutton Coldfield, and be tween five and six o'clock was &big dowti a place called Jockey-lane, which was distant nearly two miles from her father's house. The prisoner came up to her, and gave her a Is. and took her to his own house, and put her in at the window, through which he then went himself, into the pantry. She described what the prisoner here did to her, and was conf i rmed by an elder girl who had seen what was going forward, and watched, and then gave information to a woman, who also observed what was confirmatory of the child's story. The child appeared to have permitted it, which, she being under ten years of age, made no difference whatever in the case. A surgeon at Sutton examined her at twelve o'clock the next day, an d hi s evidence went fully to confirm the' account. She had no injury, bruise, or mark elsewhere about her person. e n of returned G ui Guilty, years. and The hhee alsojurywas sentenced be e tr a a n The other cases tried in this Court to-day were all Of a b y A lightthetr njaeun jury ' yf m lia ogf. fora r e al s r tdmimni misdemeanour e y mc character. heaanr enr h Griffin,as Leamingtoe.

James Johnson, a working jeweller, who had known the prisoner many years, having formerly worked for him in Edinburgh, and since then in London, deposed that Gordon called upon him with an old silver tea spoon, and asked him to cut out the mark mitt let it into the mountings of Dr. Halley's purse. Witness refused, telling him that ho would not do it for 50/., and advising him to melt them down again. Witness afterwards saw the purse, with the hall mark soldered in, and the pri soner asked him it he did not think it had been done very neatly? Witness then, at the prisoner's request, ac companied him to Dr. Halley's, and left the ant& at his residence. Cross-examined—l worked for the prisoner only a few days after this. We had a quarrel, and our connexion ceased. The constable who apprehended the prisoner stated that be was at the time accompanied by the last witness, Johnson, on seeing whom the prisoner exclaimed, - "You d- vagabond." The defence being reserved, Mr. HALL committed the prisoner for trial, refusing to admit him to bail. The punishment for such an offence is transportation for any period between seven and fourteen years, or im prisonment for any term not exceeding three years.

When the prisoners were asked if they wished to say anything in answer to the charge, Price said, that at present be did not ; but he expressed a wish that he might be tried at the Central Criminal Court, in order that he might have the benefit of his friends' attendance there, instead of being sent to the Surrey Assizes, to attend which would be so expensive. The other prisoner merely said, that he had the gold watch case weighed at the request of Price ; be also wished to be tried at the Old Bailey. _ eo a rt, ..

His constitution had been undermined by diseases which were formed before his retirement from Parlia ment seven years since. But his natural strength and the equanimity of his temperament, combined with care, preserved him in a tolerable measure of health and com fort till a severe attack of illness on the 17th ult., under which the powers of his constitution sunk ; and he gra dually and gently declined with no acute suffering, and died from exhaustion of nature, without a struggle. His mind retained its characteristic placidity and clearness, tree from all excitement or wandering, to the last • and he was sustained by the humble but firm hope Of the Christian, looking for eternal life through the merits of the Redeemer. The deceased was born at Walton-le- Dale, near Preston. on the sth of February, 1774 ; and he was therefore iu his ieventy-fifth year. He established himself in Leeds, as a printer, immediately on the ter mination of his apprenticeship, and en the 7th of March, 1801, he became proprietor of the Leeds Mercury, of which he continued to be the principal proprietor (in partnership with two of his sons) to the time of his death—exercising throughlits medium, and otherwise, an important influence in public questions for the long period of forty-seven years. It will not be expected that we should this week give a biographical sketch of Mr. Baines, though we shall feel it due to the readers of this paper and to the public, as well as to the deceased, to attempt it in our next. We now simply add a few particulars. Mr. Baines married, in the year 1798, Charlotte, the daughter of Mn Matthew Talbot, author of "An Ana lysis of the Bible,'! by whom he had six sons and five daughters, all of whom, except two sons who died in in fancy, survive him. His wife also survives to mourn the temporary dissolution of a happy union of fifty years. In the year 1834, Mr. Baines was elected Member of Parliament for the borough of Leeds, which office he filled in three successive Parliaments, and retired owing to impaired health at the dissolution of Parliament in 1841. After the passing of the Municipal Corporations Act, Mr. Baines was app,,inted one of the justices of the peace for the borough of Leeds; and soon afterwards he was placed on the commission of the peace for the West Riding. He took au active part in the administration of justice in this borough. At the close of the French revolutionary wars, Mr. Baines compiled a " History of the Wars of the French Revolution," which was afterwards expanded to " His tory of the Reign of George III." Ile subsequently published a very elaborate "History of the County Palatine of Lancaster," in 4 vols. royal quarto, largely , illustrated. It is a work of great research and of topo graphic value. Having taken a long lease of a considerable tract of moss land at Chat Moss, near Manchester, he made suc cessful efforts to bring it into cultivation,—thereby evincing that love of improvement which was a distin guishing feature of his political and public character. Mr. Baines took a part in the formation and support of many, if not most, of the public institutions of Leeds. In early youth he was a visitor of the Benevolent or Strangers' Friend Society, to which he always continued a warm friend. lie assisted to establish the House of Recovery, the Dispensary, the Laucasterian School, the Philosophical Society, the Mechanic' Institution, the Literary Society, the New Library, the Tradesman's Benevolent Society, the Leeds and Yorkshire Insurance Company, our Provident institutions, our Waterworks, our Railways, ,our Commercial Buildings, our public Baths,—in short, nearly all the institutions for public utility and benevolence established in Leeds within the last half century. The institutions, which are the glory of our age and our country, for diffusing the Holy Scriptures and Chris tianity throughout our own country and the world—the Bible Society, Tract Society, Missionary Societies, Sun day Schools, &c.—had his cordial and liberal support. To the religious body with which he was connected, the Congregational, with all its charities, he was the earnest friend. We feel it impossible this week to enter into detail on Mr. Baines's character, any more than on the events of his life. A few sentences must suffice. He had a large and liberal spirit, a just and upright mind, a benevolent and affectionate heart. He was therefore the friend of freedom, good government, and reform, of charity, peace and religion—the friend of the people, and especially the friend of the poor and oppressed. Whilst decided in his opinions, he was most catholic in his disposition: whilst the most faithful of adherents, it was his delight to co operate with men of all parties and sects for common ob jects. His understanding was sound, strong, and clear—his judgment cool and cautious. He was universally regarded as one of the safest of coun sellors. In his own profession and trade be was at once enterprising, prudent, and inde fatigable. In the discharge of his Parliamentary duties he was unwearied. His temper was mild and equable, yet at the same time cheerful and buoyant—a combi nation which was singularly conducive to his own hap piness and to the happiness of all around him. Few men have been moro universally popular and more truly beloved. He combined manly firmness with the truest humility. His tastes were simple and unostentatious. In domestic life he was the most amiable of men—. gentle, forbearing, loving—the very bond of union: his radiantl countenance, the image of an affectionate heart, shed light through all his home, and made his large family circle one of unbroken peace. His religious views were evangelical, and he possessed the soul of religion in charity, faith, humility, and love. At the approach of death his view of his own merits was most lowly and self -abasing, and his view of the Divine goodness and condescension al most overpowering. The sunset of his life was serene rather than glowing. Patient, resigned , and gentle, watched the ebbing of the tide of life; and inthelov and midste he of his large family, looking around h;9l with was that heavenward with hope, his death , like his 1 fe, of the good man. If we may judge from the inquiries :during Mr Baines's illness, few men have passed out of life more LONDON AND NORTII-WESTERN RAILWAY. (From the Times of 3 esterday.) We have been informed by the authorities of the North-Western that the engine -drivers, to the [mintier of 12.0, on one of the divisions ef this line, have given 'mice of a strike unless their demands, some of which are quite unreasonable, are complied with. Should this threat be carried into execution, the public must unavoidably suffer very considerable inconvenience; for although Government have promised the company all the assistance in their power, yet it would seem to be quite impossible to supply the place of . so large a body of skilled labourers in a short space of time. With respect to the quarrel between the drivers and their employers, the blame, in so far as we are able to judge, does not rest with the latter. About a month ago the:drivers demanded an increase of wages, which was granted them. They are now better paid than the drivers of most—we believe, of all—other lines. Eiery thing has been done to promote their c.2mfort, and to encourage good behaviour. Indeed, it is well known that the persons employed on the North-Western Rail way, in every department are as well, perhaps better, treated than any other employes in the kingdom. A proof of this may be found in the eagerness with which ap pointments are sought under this Company. The real cause of this threatened strike is, no doubt, the mischievous system of clubs and unions which obtains among the various trades. The first request made by these Engine-drivers was, as we have stated, complied with by the Company. The deputation which preferred the request declared itself per fectly satisfied. The matter would thus have been set at rest. But it was the interest of the knaves who foster agitation among the lower classes and trade upon their discontent to keep up-a grievance. It is these fel lows who have got up the strike. We have no doubt that the majority are willing enough to continue work. They usually are so in these cases, but they are not per mitted. In this instance the leaders have resorted to threats, even against the life of persons refusing to join the strike. Where such menaces can be brought home, the law is strong enough to deal with the offending parties. It is, however, doubtful whether the company are in quite so strong a position, with reference to such combinations, as the public convenience requires them to be. In this case, no doubt the Legislature will strengthen their hands, for it is a matter of the first im portance that the communications of the country should not be interrupted by the impertinent folly of a few engine -drivers. (From the Herald of this day.) Nearly the whole of the engine -drivers and firemen employed upon the southern division of the above rail way-we believe there are but two or three exceptions have sent in the usual notice (a fortnight), to quit the company's service. The cause of this disagreeable proceeding does not arise from any peculiar dissatisfaction on the part of the rum with the rate of wages, but rather from a suspicion that a new classification of payment, to which they have recently been subjected, is intended to affect their wages indirectly, and to bring them under the capricious con trol of their superintendent. The men have had several meetings during the week, at ono of which, held on Thursday night, we were present, and having heard their statements, and been put in possession of thrinortit munications that have passed btltaveens,..kw and the authorities at Euston-Fquartls We shall endt•shar, very briefly indeed, to state the case, with as few as possible of the many irritatiirg circumstances with which it is surrounded. • It appears that the wrs.disire to be paid orrsAtt they all the old scale of remusicration. s,,,,Undar that scale a (Myer had 6s. per day fo months ChftZr he had driven his engine for six months ay was increased to 6s. 6d. per day for the next six months; to 7s. for the year fol lowing; and afterwards he had au additional 2d. per day per annum, until his wages amounted to Bs. per day. A fireman, when ho was promoted to the situation of driver, had ss. per day for the first six months; Gs. per day for the following half-year; Gs. Ed. per day for the next twelve months; 7s. per day when he had been a driver for two years, and then 2d. per day per annum until his wages reached Es. per day. The new scale of classification and payments is as fol lows:-Special-class, number limited to 20 drivers, at Bs. per day; first-class, limited to 40, at 7s. 6d. per day ; second-class, limited to 30, at 7s. per day; third-class, limited to 30, 6s. 6d. per day; fourth class, limited to 20, at ss. 6d. per da y . There are 20 firemen at 4s. per day; 30 at 3s. 9d. per day ; 20 at 3s. 6d. per day; 30 at 3s. 3d. per day; and 20 at 3s. per day. It is stated by the authorities that the previous aver age of an engine-driver's wag es was 11. 18s. 9d., and that the average under the classi f ied system is 21. Is. 9d.; and that the average wages of the firemen have by it been advanced from 19s. 9d. to 1/. Is. The men admit that the average payment under the classified (new) system is higher than it was immediately before the introduction of such system ; but they fear that the locomotive superintendent may, by the dismissal of men from the " special class," for alleged neglect or misconduct, reduce the prescribed number, twenty, to ten, or five, or one ; and that he may, at his discretion or caprice, reduce the prescribed thirty of the " first class " i❑ the like proportion. Another objection to the classi fied system is that it does away, in a great degree, with the old practice of increasing the wages of the men in proportion to the periods of their respective services, and that a driver or a fireman may remain in the lowest class and receive the lowest pay for years. In fact, the men express their conviction that the new system of classifi cation has been introduced for the express purpose of re ducing their wages, and that it is the first link in a chain of operations by which they aro to be placed in a posi- tion that will leave them almost entirely at the mercy of those placed in authority over them. Mr. 11.‘Connell, the locomotive superintendent of the line, dis tinctly denies that such is the purpose of the classified mode of payment, and asseverates that the system has been devised as much for the benefit of the men them selves as for the proper working of the traffic. In the meantime the authorities are taking steps to procure new drivers and firemen, while the old hands, who aro very positive in their declarations that a new body of efficient men cannot possibly be secured, appear to be thoroughly determined to quit the railway at the termi nation of their fortnight's notice. Our earnest hope is, that this very unfortunate dispute—and in using this expression we speak from a full knowledge of the case— may, for the welfare of the company, the men them selves, and the public, be settled in an amicable manner; and it is this hope alone which induces us to withhold, for the present, a report of the proceedings of the drivers and firemen at their meeting on Thursday last. While there is any chance of a reconciliation between the authorities and the men, wa think, on a full considera tion of the whole case, that the publication of the many mutually-irritating statements made at that meeting, might at this moment do more harm than good.

We hear that the American frigate from Hayti, with 400 refugees on board, which was expected to nrrive at this port, has been wrecked off the Morint Keys on Friday last, but it is said that all the lives are saved. At Cuba trade is very dull, and all retrains quiet. An insurrection took place at Santa Croix on the 2d of July. The whole of the black population, amounting to 22,000, rose, and a :portion of them waited_ upon the Governor, demanding their freedom by four o'clock that afternoon. The troops, consisting only of 130 men, and about 2,000 militia, could do little against such superior numbers, and their emancipation was, therefore, granted; but they committed some excesses, and twenty or thirty lives were lost. Six hundred Spanish troops were sent for, who lauded on the 6th, and tranquillity was restored. The Governor resigned, and came home in the Dee. Although Cuba is reported by some of the papers to be quiet, we are informed, on authority, that great ap prehensions are entertained of the negroes rising. Amongst the passengers brought by the Deo are his Excellency General Von Scholton, Governor of the Danish West India Islands ; his Excellency Governor Willoughby Shortland, of Nevis, and lady ; Captain Gardner, RN. ; and Major Freer and lady. MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE. On Friday night, a gentleman connected with the house of Paton and Adams, warehousemen, London street, Glasgow, arrived at Oban, by the Dolphin, steamer from the north. He went to Mrs. Sinclair's, King's Arms Inn, and engaged a bed for the night. After taking tea he walked out for a little, and on returning he complained of being un we ll, an d desired that a sur geon might be sent for. Mrs. Sinclair immediately had Dr. Paterson in attendance, who prescribed me dicine for him, and saw him twice previous to going to bed, about two o'clock on Saturday morning. The gentleman had given orders to arouse him at six o'clock for the Shannon steamer, going to Glasgow. The waiter looked into his bed-room just before going to bed, and the gentleman was seemin g ly as l ee p. At six o'clock, on e o f th e waiters went to his bed-room door and knocked ; no answer was given, and after repeatedly calling he opened the door, but the bed was empty, and some of his clothes were lying on a chair. The alarm was instantly given, and every corner of the e , tablislnent was examined, but in vain. The bed -Mem window was up, ~nd it was thought he had gone out O. is. Search was made in the adjoining garden, and a nightcap which he had on when going to bed was disco , vered. No trace of him could be found, however, till about eight o'clock, when Mr. Buchanan, chemist, saw a body lying at the base of a rock 90 feet in height. The body ik , as.4..nces identified as that of the stranger. It is Ibppietill that' after all .was quiet, the unfortunate gentle an had !jou and walked to the summit, and that ho had, either accidentally or intentionally, gone over the perpendicular precipice. It would appear that in his descent he had caught at some object, as some ivy and grass were found in his hand. He had only on his trousers and shirt, and no stockings nor shoes. After getting out at a window, he had to drop from a house below, and to scale several garden walls, ere he could manage to get to the street. Ther e was comparatively little bruising about his body, which may be accounted for by his falling into a soft place in a garden. Dr. Paterson was of opinion when he visited him that he was labouring under a slight mental aberration. The affair has caused a painful sensation in the place. It is understood that he is married. Mr. Gregson, the fiscal, has had an investi gation regarding the melancholy affair.—Greenock Advertiser. [lshe gentleman here referred to was a Mr. John Shirlaw, who left his employers on Saturday, the 22d ult., on an eight days' pleasure excursion through the North and West Highlands; and it appears had got as far as Oban on his way homeward, when the melancholy event took place. We understand that he conducted himself at all times with great propriety. lie had been upwards of twelve years in the same esta blishment, and was never known to bo absent an hour without permission, being sober, attentive, and indus trious; qualities which made him esteemed by his em ployers, us well as by a numerous circle of acquaintances. He was unmarried.—Glasgow Paper.] METROPOLITAN NEW PUBLICANS' PROTECTION SOCIETY.—The fourteenth. annual general meeting of this society, which Nees established in 1834, fur the pur pose of defending and protecting the rights and privileges of the beer trade, was held at the large room of the White Conduit House, Pentonville, yesterday forenoon;, Mr. Hawkins in the chair. Mr. C. J. Bishop, the secretary, read the report of the society's proceedings for the past year. The statement of the accounts exhibited an income of 4801. 14s. ld., and showed a balance of income over expenditure for the same period of 153/. ss. In the afternoon the anniversary dinner of the society was held in the spacious pavilion of the White Conduit House, under the presidency of Mr. Robinson, trustee to the in stitution. Between 700 and 800 . members of the trade mustered to celebrate th e occasion. The usual loyal and appropriate toasts were cordially given during the even ing; and the merits of the institution, in its twofold ca pacity of a vigilant and efficient guardian of the interests of the beerseller, and as a beneficent and openhanded dispenser of its bounty to the needy widow, the orphan, and the aged, were ably set forth by the secretary, the chairman, and other speakers who addressed the com pany. A concert and ball wound up the festivities of the day, and all passed off happily. The gardens, saloon, and. other adjuncts of the fa r -f ame d Whi te onduit pre sented a gay, a thronged, and an animated appearance throughout the day. THE MILITARY CAMP AT EVERTON.—We an nounced on Tuesday that the 46th Regiment pitched their camp, near Breck-road, on the evening previous. Since that time so novel a sight at Liverpool has been a source of great attraction and interest to thousands of the inhabitants, who have daily visited the ground. There are upwards of 1,000 men in the regiment, which have been temporarily encamped here. It was expected that, yesterday afternoon, three companies of the 81st, about 400 men, would encamp on the space between the 4fith and Breck-road, and the Dragoon Guards, it was supposed, would shortly be removed to the same locality. The tents are so placed as to leave wide thoroughfares between the rows, each row ,being appropriated to one company, with officers, &c.

BROTHERS AND SISTERS. BY FREDRIYA BREMRE. TRANSLATED BY MARY HOWITT.—A new novel by Miss Bremer is always sure to be attractive. Every one who is acquainted with her previous works must rejoice to renew the acquaintance of a lady who paints human nature with such marvellous truth and animation. " Brothers and Sisters," a Tale of Domestic Life, is in every way worthy of the author of "sae x cellent " The Neighbours." It is characterize d by the same The Home," " and un flagging interest—the same vigorous e, sketching of lif e purpose. The work is one w hich will n ot only delight and amu se, but also instruct. We have only to add, that which ai always o manner s— th e o s same ehe flowsu nshoifneth m goo d -natured e spirits t it is exceedingly well translated by Mary Howitt.— Morning Post. EXTENSIVE FIRE AT F4YERsuam.--Early on Thursday morning a destructive fire broke out at Paver which destroyed a large barn contai n i ng upwards room, ma a e shm f a loo quarters of uncleaned wheat, four va l ua bl e horses, beuiiglchlitngpigussedan as d a t n two as e se a m lv b e l s y , a malt_ house, threshing machine, several carts, and var i ous agrica tuoruasle,imapslpeanaceibnutss, newly-built dwelling-house, and a carpenter's shop , the whole extending over a considerable space of d groun situate in Preston-street, and surrounded by much va luable house property, which was fortuna t ely preserved by the indefatigabl e exert i ons of the e townspeople. T he fire is supposed t o h ave b een the work of i an ncendiary, as, from the situation of that part of the premises in which the fire was first discovered, no way by which it could have occurred accidentally can be imagined. A labouring man of the neighbourhood was taken u on an suspicion, b ut re l eased on his own recognizance. P Mr. Dawson, c ar p enter and joiner, whose hous z ea ce nd pro perty in trade are entirely destroyed, was uninsured but Mr. Ki ngsnort h , the owner of the farm stock, had effected a policy in the Pho3nix Fire-office. The other buildings, as barn, stables; &c., which belonged to W. Rigden, Esq., are not, we understand, secured by in surance. THETFORD ELECTION,—THETFORD, Ava. 4. The tleetion for a member for this borough, in the room of Mr. Baring, now Lord Ashburton, took place yesterday at Thetford. At ten o'clock Mr. F. Baring entered the town, when a company of musicians and the principal inhabitants of the borough accompanied that gentleman to the Guildhall. The usual proclamations having been disposed of by the mayor, L. S. Bidwell, Esq., R. Gill, Esq., came forward and proposed, as a fit and proper person to represent the borough, Mr. F. Baring, the brother of the late member. li. It. Tyrrell, Esq. , seconded the nomination, after which Mr. Baring was declared duly elected, and having addressed the meeting, the proceedings terminated. CO Cone
