The Chartered Bank of Asia is founded to carry on the general bu siness of bankinz and exchange in our Eastern possessions on a scale commensurate with the wants of that great division of the British empire For till. purpose it is proposed to establish banks of issue and deposit in the most important British and foreign settle ments of the East. co-operating with such subordinate agencies as the Interests of the Bank may require. The great sueerss which has at tended the operations of existing banking establishments in the Fast, and the increasing means for the employment of capital in similar undertakings afforded by the great extension of commerce, has led to the formaion of the Chartered flank of Asia. . The Chartered Bank of Asia will confine its operations to banking business exclusively; that is, to receiving deposits, and keeping cash accounts ; the issue of notes payable to bearer on demand ; granting cash credits for limited periods on approved security; discounting bills; the purchase and sale of bills of exchange; issuing circular notes payable in Europe, and at the principal stations on the over land route to India; granting drafts and credits; and, in general, to all other legitimat , banking business. The Bank will also undertake the agency of the civil and military services, as well as of private individuals, including the receipt and remittance of pay, pensions, dividends, &c. ; and the purchase and sale of Indian and European securities. The large amount of the capital stock of this Bank will open a safe and advantageous channel for the employment of a portion of the redundant capital of this country, and will likewise afford an undoubted medium of investment and deposit for the Eastern com munity. At the same time, the growing requirements of trade, and of the large civil and military establishments in the East, together with the progressive increase of commerce, which will be developed by the Indian railways projected and in progress, are daily enlarging the field for the profitable operations of the Bank The objections which were formerly entertained to the management in England of banking establishments connected with distant coun tries have been removed by the rapid means of intercourse, now esta blished through the agency of steam, railways, and electric tele graphs ; and the principle is now fully recognised that the commer -6,1 interests of the East will be most efficiently advanced by the introduction of English capital, and its employment under the com bined influence of Eurorean and Eastern enterprise and experience. It is also considered that the recent gold discoveries in the colonies of Australasia will exercise a b.neficial influence upon the general commerce of the East, and must greatly extend the means for the advantageous employment of banking capital. Application has been made to her Majesty for a Royal Charter of Incorporation, to limit the liatility of the shareholders, which has been referred by the Privy Council to the Board of Trade. Power will be taken to increase the capital of the company to 2,000,000/. sterling, in which e - ent the new shares will, in the first instance, be offered for distribution amongst the existing shareholders, and such parties es, from their local connexions and other circumstances, may be considered likely to extend the business of the Bank. In the event of a Charter not being obtained, the deposit will be returned to the subscribers in full. Applications for shares may be made in the annexed form to the Secretary (pro tem ), at No. 4, Adam's•court, Old Broad-street; to Messrs. Foster and lir sithwalte, No. 68, Old Broad-street, Lon don ; or to the forowing brokers :—Mr. Edward Ashworth, Manches ter ; Messrs. D. and J. B.

THE VALE OF THE TRENT.—Few except those who know well the fine vale of the Trent, which is one of the richest and most beautiful sweeps of pasture land, can form any idea of the dreary picture it presented during the flood. The course of the magnificent stream, which winds its silvery way through scenery exceedingly pictu resque, was not traceable, and all that met the eye was one vast sweep of water, which, but for the trees and the tops of the hedge-rows rising above the surface, a stranger to the country Alight mistake for a sea.

THE EFFECT OF WHAT IS "LOOMING IN THE FUTURE." —A rumour having got abroad as to the Chancellor of the Exchequer's intention to propose certain changes in Parliament by which the duties upon whisky an d rum would be increased, a sort of panic has arisen in the spirit trade. For the last few days the dealers in Glasgow have been paying duties upon their stock in bond, and at Greenock on Thursday, besides a considerable sum from Paisley, there were several thousands of pounds paid into the Excise and Customs. The steamer Duke of Cornwall, which arrived last night from Campbel town, was full of whisky above and below, there being scarcely room left on her deck to move between the casks. It is said to be the intention of Government to equalise the duties in this country and England, raising the one and lowering the other. There were also rumours afloat that foreign shoes, paper, glass, timber, and several other articles paying duties to a large extent under the Customs and Excise, are to occupy places in the Budget among those from which the taxes are to be removed.— Greenock paper.

THOMAS HOOD'S GRAVE.—The publication in Eliza's Cook's Journal of" Lines writtel at Kensall-green ‘einetry," has induced num, rous rea.oers to express an earnest de sire to assist in raising a fund for the purpose of placing a memorial over the remains of" Poor Hood." Many a burst of merriment has echocd above " Hood's Comio % rinse," from the lips of all classes. For many a year he cheered our Christmas firesides with racy humour, that never wearied by 4s frivolity nor offended by its coarseness. Far and wide was ho known as the Poet of Mirth: but the higher developmer't of his zerflus and the noble , purpose of his muse were shown in suer dorious hymns as " The Song of the Shirt" and the " Bridge of -sighs." These who have read either of these poems will acknow ieske that such a man deserves to have a mark upon his sleeping tilace, so that it mav be forori wit out the heir) of a grave-yard , ervaist, and ail who have laughed at his inimi'ahle wit, or sighed over his human tenderness, are now earnestly solicited to spare what they can in aid of a purpose which is alike praiseworthy in tie ing and due to the dead.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man. hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of dise-se known to modern patliologists, The treatment adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe. The results of the knowledge thus aelrired are here condensed under the personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few egally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un divided studies to this important brancttoteriedical science. In short, every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases ineidentel to the generative 'system, and the means of immediate relief and ultimate cure are dewribed in detail: The profession'' , reputation of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distingeished medical and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient guarantee that; those who may place themselves under his care will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and inviolable secrecy welch are so requisite in the treatment of these cases.

The Government and the other Bills occupied the attention of the Connuttes till the latter end of May, when this Bill was called on, and the evidence gone into ; but from the improbability of being able to pass the Bill through the House of Lords in that Parliament, and in order to avoid large and useless expenditure, by the advice of Counsel, it was withdrawn, upon the understanding that the same measure would be proceeded with in the next Parliament. • The Metropolis Water Bill passed last Session remov-s all uncer tainty as to the extent of interference by the Legislature with regard to Water Companies, thereby enabling the Promoters of this Under taking to frame their m easures to meet all the requirements of the New Act, and likewise to offer to the capitalist a perfectly secure means of investment. The Water of the River Wandie has long been celebrated for its great purity, and its recent analysis by eminent chemists, fully con firm the high character given to it by the late Mr. Telford and Dr. itostock, in their examination by the Government Commissioners on Water t•upply. Every Householder South of the Thrun, a paying Water Rates, is aware of the high cha r g e for the present inferior and insufficient supply. The proposed rates of phis C ompany will be upon a much lower scale. It will thus be evident that upon the point of economy alone, they must command the preference or con sumers; but when the purity of the water is considered, end that the :manly will be constant and unlimited, all competition will necessarily be su perseded.

In former times Houses of high pretensions paid but little at tention to styles of JUVENILE ATTIRE, and frequently their best fashions were an abbreviation of those intended for ADULTS. Such an unnatural system has been abolished, and a plan entirely NEW has been pursued by E. MOSES and SON. They employ he most talented ARTISTS and WORKMEN, expressly to deN;se NEW STYLES of DRESS for YOUNG GENTLEMEN—their age, symmetry, and proportions being carefully observed. Hence it is that E. MOSES and SON'S JUVENILE CLOTHING is more stylish, appropriate, and satisfactory than any witch others have produced. The highest order of DRESS for the approaching va,a tion may be obtained at E. MOSES and 'ON'S for considerably less money than must be paid should application be made elsewhere. Ingenious and No;e1 introductions for WIN'TER DRESS are practical proofs of E. MOSES arid SON'S inimitable position in the TAILORING BUSINESS. The Ready Made Departments present a boundless STOCK of OVERCOATS in every NEW style, charged lower prices than at any other House in the World. SOUTH AUSTRALIA. Business in Adelaide is rapidly improving. The colony is likely to become more than ever prosperous—the farming interests have wonderfully revived. For all EIIIGRA.NTS. CAPITALISTS, AGRICULTURISTS, MECHANICS, or GOLD DIGGERS, E. MOTES and SON'S OUTFITS are most approved. They contain the best and most suitable goods, and are charged lower prices than at any other Establishment. A complete and separate Department is kept for OUTFITTING.

HOUSE OF LORDS-APPEALS. GEILS V. GEILS. The respondent in this case was the wife of the ap pellant, and on the 17th May, 1849, instituted an action of divorce against him in the Court of Session upon the ground of adultery. She was an Englishwoman, the daughter of Charles Dickinson, Esq., of Farley-hill, in Berkshire; and on the Bth October, 1838, was married by license at the church of Swallowfield, in that county, to Mr. Geils, a domiciled Scotchman, whose residence was in Dumbartonshire. They went to Scotland directly afterwards, and remained there till 1845, when Mrs. Geils, on account of alleged adultery on the part of her husband, quitted his house, and came to England. The summons, in this case, alleged acts of adultery with certain women, specially named, and prayed for a divorce a vinculo matrinwnii. Mr. Geils put in defences in which, besides denying the alleged acts of adultery, he stated that in October, 1845, Mrs. Geils had insti tuted a suit against him in the Arches Court of Can terbury, founded upon the same grounds of charge as those now set up in the suit in the Court of Session; and that in April, 1848, the Court of Arches pronounced a sentence of separation a mend et thoro. The fact was, that he had instituted a suit for a restitution of conjugal rights, arid that her charges of adultery had been made in the form of responsive allegations to his suit. He pleaded in Scotland six pleas in law ; first, denying the jurisdiction of the Court of Session, as the wife was a native of England, and the marriage was solemnised in England and according to the forms of the English Church ; secondly, that the suit and decree in the Arches Court were a bar to further proceedings in Scotland ; thirdly, that the charges were vague in them selves, and not properly laid ; fourthly, that as the al leged acts of adultery took place before August, 1843, with parties, some of whom are now dead, the delay was a bar to the suit ; fifthly, that there had been condona tion, or, as it is called in the Scotch law, remissio in mu 4arun z.; and, sixthly, that the charges were uvtenc. - On the 16th of November, 1849, Lord Wood, the Lord Or dinary, repelled the first preliminary defence ; reserved the second until satisfactory evidence of the nature of the proceedings in the Arches Court should have been ad duced; repelled the third in part, but allowed the remainder to be suspended so that they might become the subject of proof; and repelled the fourth. The Lord Ordinary directed that the opinions of English counsel should be taken on the subject of the second preliminary defence, and considering these opinions, he afterwards repelled that defence. This interlocutor was appealed against, but was confirmed by a majority of the judges of the first division of the Court of Session, Lord Fullerton being the only dissentient. An appeal was then presented to the House of Lords, and the question was, whether the decree obtained by Mrs. Geils as the defendant in the Arches Court for a divorce a Me. 2,84 et thoro, prevented her from asking as a plaintiff or pursuer in the Scotch courts for a further and more complete remedy. The appeal in the House of Lords was as to . the competency of his plea, and that appeal was decided, in 1851, ad versely to him. The case then went to the Scotch courts on the validity of his plea, the question being whether the proceedings in England were an absolute bar in the Scotch courts to further proceedings there. The Scotch court decided against him, and he then brought the present appeal. Their tOrdships now gave judgment, confirming the decision of the court below. The appeal was accordingly dismissed, but without costs on either side. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS—Nov. 30. (Sittings at Nisi Prius in Middlesex.—Before Chief Jus tice Jervis and a Special Jury.) EVANS V. EDMONDS-EXTRAORDINARY CASE. This was an action upon an annuity deed by which the defendant covenanted to pay his wife an annuity of 591. 19s. 6d. ; the simi sought to be recovered being two quarterly payments of this annuity, due in February and May. The deed was in fact a deed of separation be tween the defendant and his wife, and the plaintiff was trustee for the wife. The defendant pleaded that the deed was obtained from him by the false and fraudulent misrepresentation that the defendant's wife was a person of virtuous and moral behaviour, whereas the fact was that the plaintiff had before the execution of the deed had criminal conversation with her. Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., and Mr. Hawkins, were for the plaintiff, and Mr. Montague Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Atherton, Q.C., were for the defendant. Mr. Edwin James opened the case. The plaintiff was a hop merchant, in Southwark, and the defendant was a wholesale chemist, in the city of London. Mr. Roumieu, an attorney, in Lincoln's-inn-fields, proved the execution of the deed ; and in cross-examina tion he stated that an action. had been brought against Mr. Evans, who was a married man, for criminal con versation with Mrs. Edmonds, and that action was settled by the payment by Mr. Evans of 2501. Mr. Chambers then opened the defendant's case, and stated that he was instructed that he should be able. to viove that the `phlfitiff - had"c6thUined and colluded with the defendant's wife to obtain this deed, he having had adulterous intercourse with her, and that this had taken place before the 11th January, 1844, the date of the deed. In the year 1830, the defendant was married to his present wife, Miss Elizabeth Getting, and 3,0001. was settled upon her by marriage settlement. They lived happily until they went to reside next door to the plaintiff in Wandsworth-road. Shortly afterwards the defendant's wife became dissatisfied ; and in April, 1843, in consequence of some paltry dispute, she left home and went to live in Camden-town where the plaintiff visited her. The result was that a female child was born on the Ist of October, 1844, and since then she had had one or two other children, of whom he believed the plaintiff was the father. Martha Lipscombe was called, and she stated that she was now living servant with Dr. Cahill, but in 1843 and 1844 she was servant to Mrs. Russell, who kept a lodg ing-house in High-street, Camden-:;own. During this time Mrs. Edmonds lodged in the house. At one part of the time she had only a bedroom, and at other times two rooms, with a door between them. During the whole of the time Mr. Evans visited her two or three times a week. She saw Mr. Evans in court, and that _ was the gentleman she pointed out. He visited Mrs. Edmonds as Mr. Getting, her brother, and Mrs. Ed monds called him her brother John. He came about four or five o'clock, and stayed generally an hour, but sometimes until nine o'clock. When he came she rose up to receive him and kissed him. The Chief Justice—That is, they met as brother and sister. _ _ Witness—Not as a brother and sister who saw each other so often. (Laughter.) The Chief Justice -- That would depend upon the warmth of their family affection. (A laugh.) Witness—They generally had tea and some spirits afterwards. Mrs. Edmonds was particular in dress ing herself on these occasions, and she appeared much pleased. Witness had seen her reclining upon ft sofa when Mr. Evans was there. On one occasion, whilst Mrs. Edmonds had only one room, witness found the door locked. Mr. Evans was there ; but this took place after January, 1844. Mr. James objected that as this was after the date of the deed the evidence could not be properly received. The Chief Justice ruled that the evidence was ad missible. Witness—On this occasion, when the door was locked, witness tried it in consequence of having heard a bell ring. Mr. Evans walked across the room and unlocked the door. Witness walked in to take away the tea things. Mrs. Edmonds was standing by the fire, and she appeared very confused, and said she had not rang. Mr. Evans seemed very red, and the foot of the bed was very much tossed. Mrs. Susannah Claen, of No. 4, Lower Brunswick terrace, Islington, recollected Mrs. Edmonds coming to lodge with her in August, 1844. She appeared to be in the family way. Mr. Evans then visited her, and passed as her husband. They were called Mr. and Mrs. Ed monds, and he was stated to be a commercial traveller. He never slept there. Mrs. Edmonds was brought to bed on the 30th September. Mr. Evans visited her once during her confinement. Mrs. Edmonds again came to lodge with her in April or May, 1846, and she left in the autumn of the same year. Mr. Evans then visited her, but some time before she left they knew that he was not Mr. Edmonds. There was another child born in 1846. On one occasion Mrs. Edmonds said to Mr. Evans that the first baby was like him. They asked witness, and she said, "Of course, it's like its father." Mr. Evans smiled, and said nothing. Mr. William Semple said he was a surgeon and ac coucheur, in High-street, Islington. He attended Mrs. Edmonds when she was confined, on the 30th September, 1844, and on the 27th April, 1846, she was also con fined again. The first child was nearly full grown. Mrs. Edmonds engaged him for the first week in Oc tober. This was the defendant's case. Mr. Robert M. Evans, the plaintiff, was then called in reply, and he stated that he resided near Maidstone. He had known Mr. and Mrs. Edmonds for 20 years, and he had been appointed a trustee under the marriage settlement. This was after the separation. At first he declined. He declined because his wife objected to it ; but he could not tell why she objected. He remembered the deed of separation being signed, and before that time he had no adulterous interviews with Mrs. Edmonds. He was positive of this. He had afterwards, and he had in consequence paid 250/. to settle an action commenced against him. Cross examined —He never knew that he passed a s Mrs. Edmond's brother. He never kissed her on meet ing or parting. He should not like a servant-maid to see him kiss anybody. Mr. Chambers—Did you not kiss her over and over again ? The witness hesitated. The Chief Justice—Now, if you don't answer that question, I will send you to prison. The witness —I will say yes, if you like. The Chief Justice—This man, on his oath, says he will perjure himself if I like. You (to the s uiting common sense by your conduct. witness) are in sulting did kiss her severaltimes—perhaps over and over again. _ _ Mr. Chambers—Perhaps you had intercourse with her before January, 1844. Witness—No ; I am positive of that. The Chief Justice—Nobody on earthy can doubt that DR. CIILVERWELL'S NEW WORKS. To be had of Sherwood, 23, Paternoster-row ; Carvalho, 147.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY—Nov. 30. (Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) IN RE WM. RICHARD CARTEL-JUDGMENT. The bankrupt was a wine -merchant, of Ingram-court, Fenchurch-street. His application for a certificate was heard on Wednesday last, when judgment was deferred. His Honour now gave judgment. He said the bank rupt's application had been opposed by Mr. Linklater for the assignees, and also on behalf of Messrs. Usher wood, creditors, and the bankrupt was supported by Mr. Lawrance. He had previously been a clerk in the Custom-house, and had since carried on the business of a wine -merchant, in Ingram-court, Fenchurch street. His balance-sheet commenced in September, 1849, and extended to the 25th of June last. It appeared he had begun without capital, and with a debit against him of about 1001. He had suspended pay ment on the Ist of June last, when his total liabilities were 9,2201., viz., unsecured debts, 5,4411. ; liabilities, 2,977/. ; secured, 8021. His profits were stated at 3,4171. ; trade expenses, 1,2991. ; personal expenses, 6191. The proceeds of his stock and effects had realised about 2801. ; his other assets were represented in the balance-sheet by a large item, statel as doubtful, but which the Court feared was hopeless, being an amount of about 6,0001. owing to him by two individuals in the same trade, 5,5001. of which was due from a person named Manico, of Mark-lane, who became bankrupt early in June last, and to whose bankruptcy Carter ascribed his own ; and the remainder was due from a person named Ball, who had also become bankrupt after Carter's bankruptcy. The Commissioner was of opinion that the conduct of the . bankrupt as a trader was justly censurable, and there fore his certificate must be suspended for twelve months, dating from the 11th of November. INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT—Nov. 30. (Before the Chief Commissioner.) IN THE MATTER OF THOMAS SHAW. This insolvent, who was a livery stablekeeper and horse-dealer, carrying on business in in Osnaburgh-street, Regent's-park, was opposed by Mr. Sargood, on the part I.lil'ee creditors, Captaia YolArto7tpr) t ay ; -..coasw:_ , rtli, a job-master ; and another creditor nam e d. Paul \lr. Cooke supported. The complaint on the part of Captain Yelverton and Mr. Coatsworth was, that their debts had been con tracted by means of breaches of trust, and on the part of the other creditor, Mr. Paul, who is butler at Holford house, Regent's-park, that a debt of 3001. had been in curred. without reasonable or probable expectation of payment. It appeared that the insolvent had carried on business for some time in Osnaburgh-street. He had been in embarrassments for some time. He had had numerous transactions with Mr. Coatsworth, and had joined, him in various betting transactions on the turf. Besides a debt of 501. for money borrowed, he owed Mr. Coatsworth 481. for the sale of a horse entrusted to I him. He kept the money for his own purposes ;he had a good many did horses and bad luck which prevented him paying Mr. Coatsworth, and in addition a family of ten children to support. The business was now carried on by a person named Brown, who had purchased the property and allowed his family to remain in possession. In reference to the complaint of Captain Yelverton, who was not called as a witness, being, it was stated, with his regiment), it wqs'elicited that he had entrusted two horses with the insolvent to sell, which he sold in Fe bruary last for 741., and kept the money. After the sale he wrote to the captain to ascertain whether .he would take 701. for the horses suppressing f rom him that he had already received 741. for them. He had a set off to the amount of 201. for the keep of the horses. He owed Paul 3001. for money lent, for which he gave him a policy of insurance, and the creditor was obliged to keep up the premiums. In the course ofthe case Mr. Coatsworth was examined, and ad mitted that he had had many betting transactions with the insolvent. He had sued him because he believed .the money which should have been paid to him had been spent in paying :bets on horse races. The insolvent had been in custody since July last. The Chief Commissioner, in giving judgment, ex pressed himself of opinion that the debts with Cafittiiji Yelverton and Mr. Coatsworth in the sale of the horse's had been contracted fraudulently by means of breaches of trust ; and in his opinion, it was not necessary where the evidence was so clear, 'that Captain Yelverton should have attended to have given evidence. Indeed, the in solvent had admitted the appropriation of the money, and had merely urged his necessities as an excuse. His • Honour declared him entitled to the benefit of the act as to all his other debts, but, at the suit of Captain Yelver tan and Mr. Coatsworth, he pronounced a judgment of seven calendar months from the vesting order, for * cni4 tracting their debts by means of breaches of trust. THE SARDINIAN SQUADRON OF EVOLUTION.—The Sar dinian squadron of evolution, commanded by Count Pellione de Persano, and consisting of the following vessels„ Governulo steam-frigate, 12 guns, San Giovanni corvette, 30, Aquilla, 22, Aurora, 18, Colnabo, 16, and *atoll°, 10, hra4returncd - to4port: The squaltrinileft Geif6iion: ilie 9th of July. When the squrdron entered the Pirmus, Commo dore Persano's flag was saluted by all the vessels of war of different nations at anchor there. At Smyrna, the Austrian frigate Bellona refused to salute the Sardinian flag, a lack of politeness which was treated by Count Persano with that contempt 'it deserved. The squadron, besides visiting some of the ports of the Levant, had for object the execution of a number of varied and complicated ma noeuvres. To this intent the commodore ordered that three days of the week should be employed in carrying out evolutions, when the most difficult manoeuvres were executed with the greatest rapidity and precision. The decks were cleared as for action, and occasionally there were sham fights, with ball practice. Independently of the evolutions of the squadron, Count Persano exercised his crews daily in gunnery, small arms, setting sails, boarding, and all such naval exercises. THE EGLINTON LUNATIC, ASYLUM, CORK. Thi s building was erected from the designs of Mr. W. Atkins, of Cork, under the supervision of the Irish Board of Public Works, to accommodate 500 patients. The cost will be nearly 70,000/. The building is divided into four distinct blocks connected on the ground floor by low corridors. Three of the blocks, ranged along a steep brow, compose the front, nearly 1,000 feet in length, and contain the apart ments of the patients on three floors, with the resi dence of the medical superintendent in the centre. The fourth block, comprising the kitchen and offices, all on the ground floor, is placed in the rear of the centre. The walls are faced outside with a reddish sandstone rubble, procured near the site, with dressings of grey limestone, from quarries in the hills on the opposite side of the river Lee, which have also supplied a marble of considerable beauty for some of the internal fittings. The roofs are covered with slate, the spires with galvanized zinc. The design is in many respects of unusual character, some would say fantastic. Artificial ventilation is not stipulated for by the Irish authorities. The site of the building is a commanding one, on the steep ascent north of the river Lee. Whatever its de fects, it is unquestionably a fine building, its varied out line assorting well with the natural features of the scene, and as a contribution to the architecture of Cork, where nature has done so much, and art, until recently, so little, should be duly valued.—Tlie Builder. BRUTALITY. At the Lambeth Police-court, on Monday, John Hobbs and Samuel Norris, who are wel know to the police from their ruffianly conduct, and both their wives, were charged, the two former with violently • assaulting several policemen, and the two latter with'ex- . citinc , a disorderly crowd of ruffians to assault the con stables, and rescue their husbands. The scene of the prisoners' brutality was in Vauxhall-walk, close to where one constable had been stoned to death, and several others had been frequently very seriously maltreated. They were fully committed for trial. "THEY SHALL BE WANDERERS UPON THE EARTH."---- Disunion has ever been the bane of the Jewish pe ople.
