These two volumes comprise the entire tale of the " Disowned"—a tale which will bear re-perusal as well as any that has been written of late years, not, how ever, from any extraordinary ingenuity of plot—for herein it is far deficient to Pelham—or sparkling variety of character, but from its single portrait of Algernon Mordaunt, to which the reader's mind re verts with never-failing gratification. None but an autho r of lofty intellectual faculties could have con ceived the idea of this original=Sor so we may venture to call it—character. Though it is raised immeasur ably above the every-day world, and lives, as it were, in an atmosphere of its own, yet we recognize its truth, an d sympathize with its feelings, as though they were those of ordinary humanity. Masterly, however, as We allow this portrait to be—the salt which pre serves the freshness of the " Disowned"—still, we ar e far from thinking that it exhibits the happiest and roost characteristic qualities of Mr. Bulwer's genius. Ke tiies s far m ore at h ome i n d raw i ng f or th the pecu liarities r sketch e t elf the consummate worldly character, as in of Pelham's mother, for instance, whose of advice and exhortation to her son—for she herself never appears on the scene—may vie with an y th ing in Miss Austen for literal truth and uniform propriety. Equally effective is his sketch of Lawyer ran dna, which displays a worldly shrewdness, and ~ e p t h and keenness of observation, surprising in one so s pikin g as Mr. Bulwer must have been when he drew this he portrait.

BUREAUD RIOPPRE'r, b°C alCitra lIRDICIN DE LA FACULTE DE PARIS, MEMBER DR GREENWICH. Yesterday having been the anniversary of the great naval victory achieved on the 11th of Ocfober, 1797, off Camperdown, by the British fleet, commanded by Ad miral Duncan, over the Dutch fleet, commanded by Ad miral De Winter, His Majesty, in conformity with his expressed intention of attending the chapel of Greenwich Hospital whenever the anniversary of any of the great ge neral engagements at sea which occurred during the late war should fall on a Sunday (as it did on the Ist of June, 1834, in commemoration of Lord Howe's trinmph), proceeded in state to the Royal Hospital, for the purpose of hearing prayers, and of showing a mark of respect to such of the surviviving actors in that hard fought battle as are now laid up for life in this grand national institution. As the intention of his Majesty was generally known, con siderable bustle was excited in Greenwich on this occa sion ; and though the weather was exceedingly cold, the wind blowing bitterly from the north-west, a great num ber of respectable individuals from London and the ad joining neighbourhood crowded the town at an early hour in the morning. A large body of the metropolitan police, together with the constabulary foree of Greenwich, attended in the avenues leading to the hospital, as well as within the bounds of the hospital itself, to preserve order. A strong detachment of the Royal marines was stationed in the great quadrangle of the building, and a guard of honour, se lected from the same corps, was formed in a line, extending from the great hall to the chapel. Exactly at half past eleven o'clock his Majesty, accompanied by the Queen and Prince George of Cumberland, and attended by the Royal suite, in six carriages, each drawn by four horses, and escorted by a detachment of the Bth Hussars, entered the western gates of the hospital, the band of the Royal Marines performing the national anthem in a most spirited style. His Majesty, on alighting, bowed politely as the marines presented arms, and 'proceeded with a firm and steady step to the chapel. His Majesty, who was dressed in full naval uniform, appeared in excellent health and spi rits ; and the Queen, it was observed by all who saw her, looked remarkably well. For the titles and names of those who composed the suite of their Majesties we must refer to the Court Circular. The chapel was crowded to excess. The lower part was chiefly filled by the veteran inmates of the institution, for whom the gratitude of their country has here provided a secure haven as the reward of by gone toils and danger. Those who had served under Admiral Duncan on the glorious 11th of October, 1797, were con spicuiTusly placed by themselves in a situation opposite to the Royal pew. The Rev. Dr. Cole, chaplain to the in stitution, having read the prayers, the Bishop of Hereford ascended the pulpit, and preached a sermon, having se lected as his text Ephesians, chapter 4, verse 1. At a quarter before two o'clock their Majesties and suite left chapel, and proceeded to town in the same order in which they had arrived. Their Majesties were received, both on their arrival and on their return, with the most hearty de monstrations of respect. Reverence for the day alone pre vented them from being more vociferous. In the course of the afternoon, the Royal Marines were regaled with a plentiful dinner and a quart of beer each. His Majesty has caused to be erected in the Royal chapel a very beautiful monument, the work of Chantrey, to the memory of the late Sir Richard Keats, which was exposed to public view for the first time yesterday. It consists of an animated bust 'of the deceased Admiral, in pure white marble, resting on an elegantly-formed pedestal of the same material, which bears the following simple and affecting in scription :—" This marble is erected by King William IV. to the memory of Admiral Sir Richard Godwin Keats, G.C.8., Governor of this Hospital, who was his Majesty's shipmate and watchmate on board the Prince George, of 110 guns, in which the Admiral served as lieutenant, and the King as midshipman, from June, 1779, to November, 1781. In commemorating this early period of their respec tive careers, the King desires also to record his esteem for the exemplary character of a friend, and his grateful sense of the valuable services rendered to his country by a highly distinguished and gallant officer. Died April 5, 1834, aged 77 years." Nothing can possibly more strongly manifest the kindly and warm-hearted affection which his Majesty is universally acknowledged to possess than this touching tri bute to the memory of a deceased shipmate and friend.

We understand that the theatre will re-open, with dimi nished prices of admission, this day week. The building of Braham's vaudeville theatre is pro gressing with astonishing rapidity. In a few days it will be ready to be roofed. It is of considerable depth, and there is a large space left fronting King-street, whereon a hand some front is to be erected, which is not yet begun. Mdlle. Mars, who, it was reported, was shortly to retire to the neighbourhood of Orleans for the recovery of her health, remains in Paris, where she will be attended by the most eminent of the medical world. Mr. O'Connell has been prevented by the illness of his lady from availing himself of the invitation to dine at Limerick on Thursday. He has written to the Committee to that effect, and Tuesday next has been appointed for entertaining him in that city. We understand that the General Steam Navigation Company and Old Margate Company have, much to their honour, granted a free passage to the crew and people who wrecked in the Ocean Hamburgh ship, from Rams gate to London, and from thence to Hamburgh. This is an act of liberality highly creditable to their humanity, for the crew of the Ocean, as well as the owners, have been altoge ther most untowardly treated. ELOPEMENT.—On Tuesday se'nnight, S. T.Lucas, Esq., of Baron-down, a married man, magistrate for both the counties of Devon and Somerset, after attending the magistrates' meeting at Wiveliscombe, instead of returning home, took from her father's gate, where she was waiting for him, Miss Charlotte Gardiner, with whom he eloped. The parties were traced as far as Weymouth, where the happy pair embarked for Guernsey, leaving his wife and grown-up son at home. What adds to the troubles of his wife and son is the melanoholy circumstance,. that, the day before this business transpired, his son, while shooting rab bits, had the misfortune to shoot one of the servants, who lingered two days and died.—Exeter Post. Country people, who are by far the most correct observers of the weather, declare that more rain falls on a Friday than any other day throughout the year ; and that the sun always shines more or less on a Saturday. Admiral Sir Charles Tyler, the notice of whose death appeared in The Sun of Wednesday last, was one of the heroes of Trafalgar, in which memorable engage ment he commanded the Tennant, of 84 guns, the fourth ship in the rear division, and to whom the Spanish Admiral d'Aliva's ship, the Santa Anna, of 112 guns, struck, and was taken possession of by a Lieutenant and 60 men from the Tennant ; but during the dreadful hurricane which suc ceeded the battle, the British seamen being insufficient to manage the ship required the assistance of i some of the pri soners, who dishonourably rose upon the English, made them prisoners, and ran the ship into Cadiz.• Out of 27 Captains who commanded ships on that glorious day, only seven now remain. Sir Charles was an Admiral of the White, and his death creates a vacancy of a Knight Grand Cross. MAGISTERIAL ASSAULT. --We are informed that Joseph Armitage, Esq., of Huddersfield, the magis trate, who a few weeks,since attacked a child named Ma canna, while bathing, and after beating him with a stick, threw his clothes into the water, has paid 101. as a compen sation for the offence.—Leeds Mercury. A tradesman in Vine-street has been fined ss. at the Marlborough-street police office, on an information, under a local Act, for keeping fowls. The Act prohibits the in habitants from keeping pigs, poultry, or rabbits, and as many are unaware of its existence, it may be well to caution all parties infringing its provisions, as the police have strict orders to put the law in force. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND BIR MINGHAM RAILROAD.—About eleven o'clock on Friday night, a miner, named William Otwell who was working with others during the night-course, in'the shaft No. 3, on the north side of Primrose-hill, was instantaneously crushed to death by the falling of a ponderous load of earth upon him, from the roof or top of the excavation he was engaged in making. The deceased was a remarkably powerful ath letic man, 28 years of age, and has left a widow with two children, and in the eighth month of her pregnancy. NORTH CAROLINA GOLD MINES.—Many of the inhabitants at Concord have pieces of pure gold of va rious weight, one of which weighs 281bs. The beds where the gold is discovered are of gravel, and very extensive, covered with water in the winter months, but dry in a sum mer. These beds are principally quartz, with slate, schist, and some imperfectly formed granite ' • the sand is mingled with mic a , th e y res t on a b e d o f black or bluish argillaceous earth. They are from 30 to 100 feet wide, and wind round the hills, which rise in all forms in angles of from 20 to 60 degrees, and about 100 feet high.—Mining Journal. Some one remarked that Scott's " Life of Napo leon" was a failure. " I think little of it," said Moore ; " but after all it was an embarrassing task, and Scott did what a wise man would do—made as much of his subject as was politic and necessary, and no more." "It will not live," said some one else, " as much because it is a bad book, as because it is the life of an individual." We pre sume it was nobody but Mr. Willis that could have made this last remark to the author of " The Life of Sheridan," " The Life of Byron," and " The Life and Death of Lord Edward Fitvr 6 erald." Lady Blessington, n o d o ubt, felt rather awkward, but Mr. Moore turned the corner adroitly and airily, " But what an individual !" Moore replied, " Voltaire's Life of Charles XII.' was the life of an indi vidual, yet that will live and be read as long as there is a book in the world ; and what was he to Napoleon ?" Quarterly Review—Notice of Mr. Willis's Book. On Saturday evening, about half-past 8 o'clock, two of those sanguinary factions, that are the disgrace and bane of the country, assailed each other at Barna, near Pallas-green; on one side were arrayed the Bearys and Reals, and on the other the Magraths. The conflict was long and bloody, and the shouting of the combatants, as if 300 men were engaged, w as h ear d b y t h ose on the Va terford coach, at a distance of over a mile. At length, the Magraths were beaten and forced to fly into their houses, one of which was completely wrecked by the opposite party —doors, windows, and all, presented a heap of ruin in the morning ; fortunately no lives were lost, but some were se verely beaten. This occurred nearly within a mile of the Nicker police-barracks, and, we may fairly ask, what were those men doing who were so valiant and vigilant against poor Londregan ?—Linzerick Star. HYDROPHOBIA.--A melancholy case of hydropho bia occurred last week at Newcastle, in Staffordshire. The sufferer was a corporal in the Ist Dragoons, now stationed in that town, and billeted at the George and Dragon. About ten or twelve months ago he was bit on the hand by a dog, which had been previously bitten by another dog in a rabid state. At intervals since that time he had suf fered from slight indisposition, but had never been seriously affected until Wednesday morning, when he reported him self as sick. He shortly afterwards went to bed, where he remained the whole of the day and night. On Thursday morning he was considerably worse, and the virulence of the disease began to manifest itself, and before evening it was heart-rending to witness his sufferings, at times spring ing out of his bed with the utmost force, almost raging, and at others lying as calm as possible, and talking in the most Perroariint Debt.

On Friday his sufferings were very considerably increased, and the unfortunate man expired at a late hour that night. —Wolverhampton Chronicle. The forest-keeper of Tegernsee, in Bavaria, named Nassal, who had before saved several lives, was out in the night of August 12, when he heard cries of distress from 'one of the almost perpendicular mountains, and hastening to the spot, found a man holding by the edge of a rock, which overhung a deep precipice. He was nearly exhausted, but happily Nassal arrived in time, and saved - him, though at the risk of his own life. They afterwards proceeded together to the Chateau of Tegernsee, and then Nassal discovered that he had rescued from impendinc , danger no less a personage than the Prince Royal, Frederick, co- Regent of Saxony, who had lost himself while botanising in the forest. The Prince expressed his gratitude to Nassal in the strongst terms, made him a present of a gold watch, and will no doubt provide handsomely for him in future. RESISTING POWER OF THE WHALE. ---When struck with the harpoon the whale dives perpendicularly, and the quantity of line they sometimes take out in a per pendicular descent Captain Scoresby considers a good mea sure of the depth. By this rule they have been known to descend a mile, bearing, consequently a pressure of one ton and a quarter on every square inch, which, multiplied by the extent of surface of the animal, varying in length from 60 to 200 feet, and of proportionate width, gives an amount al most incredible-720,000 tons !—The Analyst. LUCIEN BONAPARTE.—I have seen Lucien Bona parte since his residence in Rome. I have a great regard for him, and he seems to like me ; he has repeatedly in vited me, but you know my station does not precisely allow of an intimate intercourse with him. His monomania is his verses. He has read to me French poems of his without rhyme, having imitated, as he thought he had, the ancient metre. Imagine a poem relying, as to form, on metre only, in a language which has no prosody, and hardly any rhythm ! It is a niarotte, if ever any existed! There is no earthly rea son for ending the line, or verse, as he calls it, where he ends it ; he might just as wel ihave gone on, But, as I said, I have a great regard for him.—Reminiscences of Neibuhr. ADULATION OF NAPOLEON.-" Napoleon est notre Dieu," said Ney to the Professors of the University of Helmsthedt. You know the Archbiihop of Paris called him, in a pastoral letter to his bishops, " rhonzme de la droite de Dieu :" and Fabre de l'Ande, President of the Tribunal, wrote to Napoleon's mother—" La conception que vows avez eue, en portant dans votre rein k Grand Napoleon, n'a etee surement qu'une inspiration divine !" But even with us, my friend, the adulation was carried by some wretches to an equal extent of shameful madness. Even now, when I relate it, it has already become incredi ble ; and yet it is a fact. How often has it not been said, " God created Napoleon, and rested !" What is man ! This happened but' yesterday; how utterly vile !—Reminireenres of Neibuhr. In Wakefield market, on Friday last, good apples and potatoes fetched the same price—namely, ss, 6d. per load.—Doncaster Gazette. nted by Parliament out of the Consolidated Fund CHOLERA. — The last caravan attacked by the cholera at Mecca, worn down with fatigue, and destitute of water, almost wholly perished. No less than 40,000 pilgrims were left behind in the desert. The dust of the desert surrounding Mecca is, in fact, the dust of men ! De Lamartine. About half past one o'clock on Sunday morning, a fire broke out in the bakehouse of Mr. John Smith, baker, of 28, Robinson's-row, Kingsland. The bakehouse is under the front shop, and as the fire advanced upwards towards the shop, it was discovered by the policeman on duty, who instantly alarmed the inmates, and then sent off notice to the nearest fire-stations of the London Establishment, whence engines were sent, and the fire got under. The da mage done to the building and stock is considerable, but is believed to be fully covered by an insurance in the Pro tector office. A. DINNER AT THE ATHEN/EUM.—A friend of mine prop w that we should din e t oge th er a t th e Athe naeum, and be ould send a brace of grouse he had just received. We dined very satisfactorily, but agreed that a perfect edition of our dinner would have been as follows : First, a dozen and a half of small oysters, not pampered, but fresh from their native bed, eaten simply after the French fashion, with lemon juice, to give an edge to the appetite. In about twenty minutes, the time necessary for dressing them, three fine flounders waterzouchied, with brown bread and butter—a dish which is better served at the Athenaeum than anywhere I know. At a short inter val after the flounders the grouse, not sent up together, but one after the other, hot and hot, like mutton chops, each accompanied by a plate of French beans. With the flounders half a pint of sherry, and with the grouse a bottle of genuine claret, which we got for three and sixpence a bottle ; after which a cup each of strong coffee.—Walker's Original. isolidated Fund, Quarter ended October 10, 1835.. JUDICIAL STATISTICS IN FRANCE.—The Mo nitcur contains a long report of the Keeper of the Seals on the administration of Civil and Commercial Justice, which completes the accounts of the labours of the judicial order to the. end of 1833. This report comprises the last four months of 1831, and the years 1832 and 1833. The num ber of civil causes on the rolls of all the tribunals of First Instance was 128,138 for 1832, and 121,560 for 1833. In examining the proportion of causes to the population, to the surface of the kingdom, and to the amount of the finan cial contribution, we find that in 1832 there was one cause to a population of 253, to 412 hectares of territorial sur face, and to 1,206 fr. of land tax. In 1833, one cause, 267 inhabitants, 434 hectares, 1,272 fr. of land-tax. The num ber of causes in 1833 was less considerable than in 1832 by 6,578, and less than in 1831 by 1,393. The total - number of causes despatched in 1832 was 121,155 ; in 1833, 120,492. The commercial causes also were more nu merous in 1832 than in 1833. In 1832 the number was 116,204 ; in 1833, it was 103,157. Thy proportions in the respective commercial districts are nearly equal in both years, excepting that at Aix and Lyons the number was somewhat greater in 1833 than in 1832. The account pre sents 112,151 commercial causes brought to a conclusion in 1832, and 95,140 in 1833. Loss OF THE LEE AND ISABELLA.—We regret that the first news received of the whale fishery is of the most disheartening nature. Two noble vessels are com plete wrecks in the ice, and themumber of fish taken is so insignificant as scarce l y to b e worth mentioning. On Wed nesday last, the mate of the Lee, one of the vessels lost, ar rived here, and yesterday Captain Lee, the master, fol lowed. This gentleman has obligingly communicated to us the following particulars :—On the 14th of June, the wreck of a vessel was seen amongst the ice, and ascertained to be the Isabella, the vessel, it will be remembered, in which Captain Ross and his gallant companions were brought to this country. On the 17th Lee fell in with and took on board Captain Carlill, and the crest of the Isabella, 25 in number. On th e I s t o f J u l y t h e L ee b ecame f ast i n the ice, in lat. 72 N. The following extract from the log book details the particulars of the loss of the vessel : " Saturday, July 4, E.S.E. Fore part light breezes and clear weg.th er . A t 4 a.m. b egan to saw a dock for the ship ; at 7 ditto done sawing, hauled the ship into the dock, and made her fast. Middle and latter .part fresh breezes and clear weather.

Called all hands, un shipped the rudder, and did other necessary work for the safety of the ship. At 11 a.m. the edge of the dock broke on the larboard side of the ship. At half-past 11 the ship became a total wreck. A few hours afterwards all hands went on board the William Torr." On the 14th, Captain Lee, his mate, the Captain's son, and eight men, left the William Torr, in one of their own whale-boats, and com menced the arduous undertaking of pulling for the nearest settlement, a Danish factory called Lieblin, distant 380 miles, where they arrived on the 20th, in a very exhausted and distressed state, having been at sea six days in an open boat. They were received in the most hospitable manner by the inspector, and afforded every assistance their melan choly condition required. On the 20th of August they were taken on board a Danish vessel, and after proceeding to another settlement, were eventually landed at Sandy Island, in the Orkneys, whence the Captain and mate made their way to Hull, and arrived here, as we have stated, the former yesterday, and the latter on Wednesday.—Hull Packet. EXTRAORDINARY AMOUNT OF A PUBLIC PENSION.—The first Earl of Chatham died in 1778, at his death a pension was voted to his son (the late Earl), of four thousand pounds per annum, upon an address from the Commons to the Crown. This pension has been paid to him fifty seven years, consequently, the amount is two hun dred and twenty-eight thousand pounds. This sum is in addition to the Earl's public appointments—First Lord of the Admiralty, Governor and Vice-Admiral of Gibraltar, a General in the Army, together with a regiment, the Fourth Foot, &c., &c. Fortunately, his Lordship left no family, or the pension, by the nature of its grant, might have ex tended to many generations. Lotteries throughout France will entirely cease at the end of the year. The offices at Valenciennes were last week closed by anticipation. The effects of the late unpropitious weather are already manifesting themselves in this quarter, and threaten serious loss to the Scotch farmer. Within the last week several vessels have arrived from Lynn, Boston, and other ports in England, laden with wheat. A number of our bakers, we understand, have made large purchases of wheat in England.—Dundee Chronicle. DIFFUSION OF ENTERTAINING KNOWLEDGE. —The first number of the cheap re-issue of " Colburn's Modern Novelists" appears this day. It contains the first portion of Mr. Bulwer's brilliant and racy performance, Pelham," with a portrait of the author, which alone is well worth the shilling that constitutes the price of the number. Many thousands have already been distributed to the various,London booksellers alone ; and an immense demand may be anticipated for the successive portions of an under taking like this, which addresses itself so invitingly and so commodiously to the tastes of all genuirte lovers of litera ture, who will now, for the first time, have the opportu nity of procuring, at the cost of one shilling per week, all the best fictions of our most celebrated living English writers. At the burial of the mother of a family, lately so lemnized at a village not many miles east of Melton Mow bray, when the corpse was , brought outt of the church it was found that the yokel who sustains the two-fold office of sexton and parish-clerk, had cut the grave with the feet towards the west, contrary to the imr aemorial custom in this country of laying the body with ale feet eastward. The friends of the deceased peremptorily objected to this novel mode of interment, and the little Ikald of mourners stood surrounding the spot whilst the author of this pain inflicting blunder endeavoured to cut a e grave so as to admit its destined occupant in the ctra tomary position. The clergyman, who is remarkable for c ondescension and affability, became impatient, and finished the service, leaving the weeping relatives to stand tv renty minutes and upwards listening to each other's sob:;, mingled with the agonizing blows of the mattock and th e spade, and an oc casional murmur of indignation among: it the spectators.— Lincoln Mercury. The death of a poor man, name ci Crow, has occa sioned some sensation in Thaxted, it b eing alleged that he died of starvation through the neglc et of the parish of ficers. Mr. Powell, the Poor Law CI )wmissioner, was en gaged the whole of Monday and Tue sda'y in investigating the case, when we understand the evidence adduced tended to acquit the parish-officers of all bla.mc. The matter is, however, to undergo further inquiry. --Chelmsford Chron. On Saturday a coroner's inques t was held at the Half-Moon, Islington, on the body of a young man, about 18 years of age (name unknown), who se death was occa sioned by suffocation, while sleeping- on a brick-kiln, in Rhodes's-fields, Islington. It appear eci' that the deceased had been in a very destitute condition, and having no home, had gone to the kiln for warmth. The deceased had been dead some time before his body was found. Medical aid was procured, but was of no avail. Ver diet—Accidentally suffocated. THE STANDARD NOVELS.— AtIC .ther most amus ing work has just been added by Mr„ Bentley to .‘ The Standard Novels and Romances—" Cap tain Trelawney's Adventures of a Younger Son." This co liection now con tains the best works of Bulwer ; also the favourite stories of Cooper, Beckford's Vathek, the No• eels of Miss Austen, Mrs. Brunton, Godwin's subtle Rom: ices, Miss Porter's Popular Stories, the best works of. A [older, Hook, Galt, Gleig, Grattan, Banim, Mrs. Shelley, Victor Hugo, Miss Lee, &c. These popular works canno tbe obtained in any other collection, as they are the exclusive property of Mr. Bentley. MONS MEG.—We stated some tune ago, that the carriage on which this ancient piece c tE ordnance was sup ported, gave way with a loud crash, to the no small alarm of those who were within hearing. 1 :ince that time no steps have been taken to repair the damage, an d this relic of an dent times is now lying on the ground, as neglected as if it were no more than so much old iron. We cannot believe that the inhabitants of Edinburgh a re so fickle in their feelings, as to set no value now on this venerable remnant of olden warfare ; when not many years ago, they formed a triumphal procession to welcome its re turn to Scotland; as connected with the glory and the is idependence of the country.—Edinburgh Courant. FIRE-PROOF HOUSES.—A writer in the Mecha nics' Magazine communicated the folic )wing useful hints on this subject :—" All party walls shoub I be 18 inches thick, and all divisions between the front and back part of a house should be nine-inch brickwork. The !joists should be one inch thick, and drilled through every ;six inches, to receive screws for fastening down the floor. :I would use for the ceiling sheet-iron painted, which ',wort form a perfectly even and durable ceiling, resisti'ag ;ffeletually one great means of communication in case of fi re between the differ ent stories. Some of the floor screw s might be passed at proper distances through the sheet-i ion, the heads being neatly countersunk, and all of them r ire intended to screw into the underside of the floor by pas sing the screw from the lower room. On the top of e% very house should be placed an iron tank, lined inside wit h lead—three pounds might do—having a ball 7 cock, and si applied by the water companies for domestic - purposes as w ell as in cases of fire, The tank should be six feet square b y three feet deep, and should be so placed on the roof that a ; communication by a two inch pipe might be made betwee' .3 teach pair of tanks at the bottom. A pipe should desc. 2 rid to the bottom or ground floor, and, passing through 'l e r'lsror., t wall under the pavement, should be inserted int , , 3 a : gt !nem! supply three inch pipe, the latter having at ;A-my 2h ird or fourth house -- a pipe two feet long rising from it, and fixed to the wall wit'i a key-tap to fix a leather hose to when necessary, every in habitant having a key. Such taps would, in case of fire, supply the engines, supposing only la houses forming the side of a street, with nearly 8,000 gallons of water, and the opposite houses of course the same. From the pipe that descends from the tank should pass to each room an inch branch-pipe, having a cock 18 or 20 inches from the floor, with a key fixed to it by a chain. In cases of fire breaking out in any apartment, the inmates could speedily put it out, having nearly 1,300 gallons of water at their command, the produce of two tanks." MR. SPRING RICE.—The Chancellor of the Ex chequer, accompanied by his daughter and eldest son, ar rived at the Vice-Regal Lodge, Pheemx-park, on Friday morning from Liverpool. DINNER TO MR. O'CONNELL IN LIMERICK. The preparations for the public dinner to Mr. O'Connell proceed on a scale consistent with the political rank and claims of the distinguished guest. We are just apprised by a notification from the Committee, that the dinner to Mr. O'Connell is necessarily postponed, in consequence of the indisposition of Mrs. O'Connell. MAURICE O'CONNELL, Esq., M. P.—On Sun day, the day appointed for the entry of the borough mem ber into Tralee, an immense number of trades, and other in habitants of the town, preceded by a majority of the bo rough electors, proceeded to Mr. D. Supple's lodge, at the Spa, where the honourable gentleman then was, for the purpose of escorting him in. The day was unusually - fine, and a very large concourse attended to do honour to the man who had asserted the independence of the borough, and who had rescued the rights and liberties of its inhabi from the grasp of the Aristocracy. IRELAND.---- VICE-REGAL DINNERS.--MR. O'CONNELL.— I have already informed you that Mr. O'Connell had been invited to dine with the Lord-Lieute nant. The following appears in the newspapers of this morning :—" His Excellency the Lord-Lieutenant and Countess of Mulgrave entertained the following personages at dinner on Wednesday :—Lord and Lady Cloncurry, Lord Morpeth, the Right Hon. Mr. Justice Perrin and Mr. Perrin, the Right Hon. the Attorney-General, the Solicitor-General, and Mrs. Richards, Mr. Drummond, Mr. E. Stanley, Mr. O'Connell, Mr. Ronaync, Mr. Howley, Mr. W. H. Curran, &c." Lady Cloncurry was seated be tween Lord Mulgrave and Mr. O'Connell, who was re• markable taciturn during the evening. The party broke up early. The customary entertainment to the leading mem bers of the Corporation, called the " trumpet dinner," was given yesterday by the Lord-Lieutenant, at the Vice-Regal Lodge. Amongst the company assembled on the occasion were the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs, the Recorder, the Earl and Countess of Wicklow, Lord and Lady Cloncurry, Colonel Perceval, M.P., Sir Compton Domville, Bart., Colonel Yorke, and several Aldermen.—lllorning Paper. TORY MOVEMENTS.—The Conservatives in the northern division of Durham had a meeting at the Waterloo Hotel, in this city, on Wednesday last. The Marquis of Londonderry was in the chair. The attendance is rerte sented to have been miserably small. Various causes have been assigned for holding th e mee ti ng . S ome say i t was convened for the purpose of entering into a subscription to defray the expenses of the registration. The subscription entered into, on the occasion, it is added, amounted to about 701., chiefly contributed by a few individuals—there having been (when the subscription paper was produced) a general rush—towards the door. It is also stated that it was held for the purpose of devising means fbr bringing forward Tory Candidates, at the next election, for the city and nor thern division—two for each ! Another story is that it was got up under the instruction of the Marquis, to appoint a deputation to wait upon the Marquis Camden, now on a visit at Wynyard, to invite him to a public dinner, to be given to him by the Tories, as a token of their admiration of his pa triotic conduct in giving up the enormous fees of his sine- cure office, as Teller of the Exchequer. What may we not expect after this ? The least to be anticipated is that the Devil himself will turn precisian.--Dur•harn Chronicle. REGISTRATION.—We see in the Carlisle Journal that some stirring work was done last week in the Re g istry Court at Carlisle. For the co un ty, th e D ean and Chapter have been struck off the roll ; and for the city, the whole body of the freemen, and 209 householders, have been set aside by wholesale ! That the five parsons should be struck off was by no means strange ; the wonder is, how they could muster power of face to ask to be placed on the register, directly in the teeth of all law and custom ! The striking off of so many householders, and the whole of the freemen, for the city, requires a word of explanation. The Reformers had lodged, in all, 44 objections ; the Tories lodged none. But when the Court met on Monday morning, they started a game of general objection to all household. voters ! The list had been posted up in the usual way ; but this did not satisfy them. The parish church door was not sufficient for these holy men ; the act required churches and chapels, and the liberal souls insisted that the dissenters should have a share of the Sunday reading. So far as regarded dissenting meeting-houses, the barristers would not admit the objec tion ; but at respected "all churches" of the Establishment, they found themselves under the necessity of disfranchising three of the eight townships of the city! The Reformers had no 'resource but to retaliate ; and, notwithstanding the grossest perjury ever listened to—notwithstanding Mr. Nem son's friendly hint to Tom Graham, that he " meant Sun day," and not Monday, as he had sworn to—they succeeded in showing that the whole of the freemen had been dis franchised, and in having them struck off the roll The Reformers were all along perfectly aware of this error, but never intended to take advantage of it ; when, however, they found that they were to be left to the mercy of the freemen, they had no alternative but to strike in return ; and most effective has been the blow. Instead. of a majority of 3 to 2 in favour of Reform, they have a. majority of 6 or 7to 1 against Toryism. The Tories have themselves to thank for this result ; and wishing them plea sant dreams upon the consequences of their first attempt to disfranchise the whole of their fellow-townsmen, we bid them good bye till next week. EDUCATION.—The sum of twenty-five thousand pounds has been voted by Parliament this year for the edu cation of the negroes. This is all very well—we wish something had also .been granted for the endowment of schools in the Highlands and Western Isles of Scotland, where, according to the last returns, there are still 80,000 of the population unable to read or write.—lnverness Courier. FARMING AND ILLICIT DISTILLATION.—On Saturday morning a private distillery on an extensive scale was discovered on the farm of a Mr. Fordham, at Winch more-hill, near Hendon. It appears that suspicions have for some time past been entertained that Mr. Fordham, ap parently a respectable farmer, and formerly a publican, was engaged in such illicit proceedings, and on Saturday morn ing positive information of the fact having been received, Mr. Burgess, a supervisor, went from London with a party of officers to search the farm. Having placed several per sons about the house to prevent escape, Burgess and Smith entered, and, finding the farmer in his parlour, immediately seized him. He seemed terribly agitated, but a room of suspicious appearance at the end of the rangd'of buildings being observed, he willingly accompanied the officer, who wished to examine it. In that room a trapdoor was found, leading to a large cellar ; and it being lifted, a youth, who proved to be the farmer's son, came running up the steps with another person, the servant, and both were secured. In the cellar a still of unusually large dimensions (between sixty and seventy gallons) was found at work, with a quan tity of molasses, wash, some manufactured spirits, and all the appurtenances - of a private distillery. The place had been well contrived with means for conveying off the waste mat ter under ground to a cesspool at some distance. The ser vant, when discovered, pointed to Fordham, as his employer; and, addressing the latter, said, " A pretty mess you've brought me into, master." The three prisoners were taken immediately afterwards before Dr. Robinson and another Magistrate. Fordham was recognised by the Doctor as a person who, before he took the farm in question, kept a -public-house at Whetstone. The Magistrates remanded. all the prisoners for a week that the solicitor to the excise might attend. THE SWELL MOB" IN QUEEN ELIZABETH S RElGN.—Robert Greene, in his " Notable Discovery of Coozeuage," a quarto pamphlet of excessive rarity, printed in black letter in 1591, informs us that " Coney catchers" and " Crosse byters" were much to be feared and carefully avoided in his time. The first, be says, arc fellows "in goode fashion and apparrell" who find means to introduce themselves into good society, and then endeavour to draw persons to card-playing, at which " the divilesh thieves," by cheating, winneth all the money. The pickpockets and • cut-purses are not half so dangerous to meete withal, as theese coozening coney catchers. " The cross-byters" seems by the author's description, to have " likened" more to the swell-mob man of the present day, than the " coney catcher." They are characterized as " villainous vipers, outcasts from Goy, base rogues," who do not confine their practice to " cuttinc , purses and sneeking thievery," but " they plaie with false dice, coozenage by gold false, and followe up the eight kzves villainie”—their dress is stated to be often " eerie costlie," the better "to introduce them selves into good societie, to plunder whatsoever they lay there landes upon." In the course of the pamphlet is a sort of Slang Dictionary, containing " the wordes used by cross-byters, and other villaines." In 1592 appeared a pamphlet on " Coney-catching," which, as the title page states, " gives the meanes to understand the Pedlar's French (flash language), and the meanes to understand the counteoreite cranke—all writ by a Justice of Peace of great authoritie, who bath had the trouncing of many of them." This curious publication gives several instances of " the swell-mob-man of the olden time" plundering merchants, counting houses, and " the palaces of the Nobilitie in Drurie•lane and the Straande."
