(From the Globe.) We are not about to institute an investigation into the causes of epidemic diseases, nor 'will we attempt to defile the occult propel ties of the atrntisphere, by ethiCh the human corstituticn is affected by :slisease, or recover ed to health. The Marquis of Nt2imanby last night aveiled himself of scientific investigatVin, illustrated.tom facts, sufficiently to establish the cas.4ePreseoted.to the House ; and carried with him not merely the feelings b4£: the judgments of their Lordships, so as to senate the adoption of the measure he proposetl;liot in6‘ely with ; out opposition, but with strong expressions of emnimindnii time. Every man who desires to secureleimself and f?itose of his own house from the visitation of epidenele diseas'es, should be sensible of these facts—sstablislied as they aro by the testimony of the most eminent in medical science—that the air is often charged with noxious exhalations, arising from the putrefaction of animal' and vegetable matter. The exhalations are generated in low and marshy situations, or where stagnant water contains dead vegetable matter ; and their production is greatly promoted by heat. Their precise nature is not known ; for they have never been obtained in a separate state ; but it is ascertained that they are suspended in the air ; that naturally they do not extend far beyond the place where they are generated ; that by currents of wind they are capable of being carried to a great dis tance ; that they exert a powerful agency in the pro duction of the most malignant diseases ; and that a long exposure of them wonderfully shortens human life. Tha ravages of the cholera in 1831 will not be soon forgotten. The statistical inquiries to which that fearful visitation gave rise, afford a powerful illustration of the necessity of some sanatory regulations, to he provided by the Le gislature, and guarded and enforced by the penalties of law. The writer of this article was at that time resident in a town where the number of victims was very great, in proportion to the number of the inhabitants. A committee of health was appointed. As the disease was principally confined to one part of the town, a searching investigation was instituted, in the hope of discovering some peculiarity in the locality by which the pestilence might possibly be caused. An old drain, leading to the river, was opened ; and such was the pestiferous exhalation which issued im mediately upon its covering being removed, that quick-lime 5-1 large quantities was required to neutralize the foul ex halations which arose, before the workmen could com mence the necessary operations. The main channel was found blocked, and the smaller drains from the houses which communicated with it were also clogged. Along the sinuous course of the main sewer, extending through a considerable district, the disease raged. The cause of the pestilence was detected ; a lime-kiln was built for the purpose of purifying the atmosphere ; the drains were cleansed ; and the disease was arrested from that very hour. Not a single case of cholera oc curred aftew the cause was discovered—a convincing proof of its origin ; and furnishing a powerful warning to the inhabitants of that town, and to all others, against suffering accumulations of noxious matter, which, sooner or latter, will not. fail to generate pestilence and death. (From the Courier.) Lord Ellenborough, who of late years has made pro- Liigious advances in the science of political economy, as evidenced in his patronage of New Poor-law mercies, spears also, in imitation of the Right Rev. Metropo litan Suffragan. to be making considerable progress a the ne..v Drainage philosophy. He attributes ...enders miraculous to sewerage, which the world never dreamt of before, for the very best benefit con ferred by sewers, as vulgarly beli-ved, is that they afford onvenient and comfortable shelter for the rat consumers of garbage and other impurities out of sight, instead of leaving them exposed, as in the streets of Lisbon and Paris, to the pelting of the pitiless elements in the pur suit ef their vocation. His Lordship gives us cause for bitter regret that the following remarks were not present to Iris mind on any one of the multifarious occasions when the new Poor-law and its murderous tendencies came More the House of which he is so active a Member. For the reporters make him say that." he believed the moral and religious improvement of the poor to be totally inconsistent with their physical degradation. To build churches, to build school-houses, and to employ cler gymen and schoolmasters, was in his opinion utterly idle, while the physical wants and destitution of the poor continued as dtba=ing es they now were. We be gan too far from the real source of the evil, unless we placed the pcor man in such a position that he might have some self-aspect—that he might have something ! like a home. The object of their legislation should be 1 —what perhaps this Bel would do ultimately—to secure hoinl to the poor mae." This is generally excellent, iithougli we think the Noble Lord is superfluously carcett about a " home" for the poor man, seeing that a vety secure " home" has been provided for him al ready in those Bastiles, denominated " Union 'Work houses." We are entirely of his opinion that, until the physical" wants of the people are first and well at tended to, it is but a erne! mockery to be legislating for their " moral and religious Improvement." But when he was so eloquent in demonstratirg tne inutility of build ing churches and schoo!-houses, and employing clergy trwit and schoolmasters, with a iew to elevate the con dition of the poor socially, morally, and religiously, instead of pre% iously relieving them fr. m the debasing degradation of " physical wants anti desti tution," we are rather surprised that his Lordship should, as it would almost seem with purpose "afore thought" carefully omit from his enumerated buildin gs those dungeon structures called " Union Workhcu es and from the list of benefactors and instructors of the poor, thire tender-hearted souls, the Somerset House Commissioners, their Secretary, their assistants, and their deputed deputies, the guardians, relieving officers, en'! masters of the workhouses. These are the people for freeing the poor fully aad finally from all physical wants, which of course supersedes the expensive neces sty of churches, clergymen, schoolmasters, Drainage and all other the array for moral and religious in struction, comprehended in what the Right Rev. Bishop of London terms " the appliances of religion." In truth, the poor have plenty of lip-salve, whatever else more sub stantial they may be short of. (From the Standard.) What is the use of Mr. Joseph Hume ? is a ques tion often asked, but a question which cannot be long doubtful to any reflecting man. Nothing is created in vain, though we cannot always reach the pur pose with which some animals are called into existence—many reptiles, for example, and some familiar vermin. Much as we may be perplexed to discover the use of these things, the analogy of nature assures us that they have a use. In the vase of Mr. Joseph Ilume the inquiry is the re verse of difficult. He is created and permitted to exist as the representative of a principle—if we may dignify with the name of principle, the enmity to what ever is reverent, generous, and amiable. We have men who hate a Church, and hate pure religion—the reli- gioo of Protestants—we have too many of such men ; hut as they are generally persons cf mixed character, the manif:station of their hostility does not produce the proper effect in showing why the Church and the Protestant religion are hated. Again, we have more than enou3h of M lithusians, free traders, clippers and wers of Cie sa!arii_s of soldiers, sailors, and humble GiliciAl3, new Poor-law admirers ; but these men, too, are of doubtful conduct in other respects. There are some amongst us, too,- so eaten up with envy and spite as to regard every man with abhorrence who has earned the affections and gratitude of his country by splendid public services. These persons, however, are often wanting in the qualifications of a perfect model. What is necessary for the information of the public rood is a meeting in one of certain qualities, until, us Junius says, " their combined sweets torture the sen se." Every one knows that Apelles formed his ideal of consummate beauty by a selection flora the charms of all the fairest of the fair daughters of Greece ; and it is only by a similar se l ect i on, though on the side opposite to moral beauty, that we can have a perfect representative of the anti- Cooservative. It will not do that we have here an anti-Cliureliman, who may be a generous anti fair man be man in other respects ; or there a p ro- Pap.st , who f n distinguished by some good qual ities ; or in anotheri tie l place a Malthusian free trailer, who may resp ect constitution and laws ; or beside him an envious, who may not he an ungenerous, person. Su ch distributed qualities prove little ; but when we have them united in one, the type of all the classes, there can be no mistake as to the true source of each distinguishing characteristic ; and all of them we have united in the Hcn. Member for Kilkenny. Let no man then say that Mr. Hume is not of use—his morale, as a means of public instruction, is beyond all price. Last night s exhibition of Mr. Hume, the Ministerialist, in 'con tact with Sir Robert Peel, the leader of the Oppo sition, is of great value. Ministers proposed a pen sion to Lord Keane. Mr. Hume objected to the grant, upon the pretext that the Noble and Gallant Lord lies under an unexplained charge of murder I au thenticated by the names of his accusers. Sir Robert Peel indignantly defended the absent Noble man—showed that the charge of murder amounted to this :—A marauder had been wounded by a vidette, posted by Lord Keane's order to protect the peaceful agriculturalists of a part of Atighanistan occu pied by her Majesty's troops : the fellow had died of the wound ; and the regiment to which be belonged having misbehaved in the face of the enemy twelve months after, thought fit to trump up this fable of murder, as an apology for their cowardice. Mr. Hume's assertion that the charge had been authenticated by names proved to have been an utter falsehood, as it is impossible to doubt that it was a deliberate one. Let any one read Sir Robert Peel's splendid speech, and then say, if he can, that the person whose conduct called for that speech is of no use. 'he well-kno wn th ea t r i ca l agent, 11/.

And whereas by the said recited Act it is enacted, that every officer of any company who shall wilfully make any false return to the Lords of the said Commit tee, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor ; and whereas it is expedient to extend the said provision ; be it enacted, that the said provision shall be and is hereby repealed. And be it enacted, that every officer of any company tsho shall wilfully give or make any false notice or re turn, or certificate, or other instrument or document, which shall be required to be given or made for the purposes of this and the said recited Act, to or for the use of the Lords of the said Committee, shill be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor.

Provided also, that no such regulation as aforesaid shall be binding upon any railway company unless the Lords of the said Committee shall have given to such company twenty-one days' notice of their intention to issue the same. And be it enacted, that if any company shall fail to observe any such regulation of the Lords of the said Committee, such company shall forfeit to her Majesty the sum of 20/. for every day during which such com pany shall so fail to observe any such regulation ; and every such penalty may be recovered in any of her Ali jesty's Courts of Records.

BIRMINGHAM, FRIDAY NIGHT.—The half_yearly meet ing of Cie London and Birmingham Railway Company was held this day, at the Qacen's Hotel, in this town. GEORGE CARR GLYN, E q , Chairman of the Board of Directors, presided. Some preliminary business having been disposed of, the Secretary (Richard Creed, Esq ), read the following Re port of the Directors, which was unanimously adopted : " February 12, 1841. " The Directors have to report that the traffic for the six months which ended on the 31st of December last, has considerably exceeded that of any preceding half-year. The accounts which have been laid before the Proprietcrs at the present meeting show a receipt on the revenue state ment (D), under the usual heads of passengers, &c., par cels, merchandise and cattle, of 405,0401. 145., being 61,8461. 7s. 9d. more than fur, the six months to 30th Jule last, and 61,1301. 1 ls. 6d. more than for the same period to 31st December, 1833; a result which is the more satisfactory, that it is not accompanied by any correspond ing increase of charge. " Maintenance of Way,' which, in addition to the con tract price for keeping tho road in good working condi tion, eJmprises all extra expense for sips, and for repairs of station buildings, is 6,2281. 18;. Bd. less than for the preceding half-year ; a reduction of charge c• hick is due to the generally improved state of the works, and cape c:ally of the principal embankments, which, by their in creased stability and consolidation, have presented an ef fectual resistance to the heavy winter fl3cds. " Thu per ceutage of the locomotive and other charges, as compared with the receipts, is, in every case, less; and the gross charge on the traffic (including the mileage duty to Government and parish rates) will be found in the last half-year to be as 30/. ss. 7d. per cent. to the cress re ceipt, instead of 341. 163. per cent., which it MS in the preceding half-year. " Deducting from the net profit of 186 6891. Ils. 83. the sum of 20,8221. 143. 11d., which was taken from the re , erved fund, pursuant to the resolution of the last gene ral meeting, there remains a disposable balance of 165,866/. 163. 91., on which the Directors recommend that a divi dend be declared of 41. per 100/. share ; I/. per 251. share ; and 19i. 23. 2 s . lis on 24/ ; called before the 31st of December, and paid on each 321. share ; leaving a sum of 10,866/. 16s. 91. to be c; , rried to the credit of next account. " In referring to the progressively-increasing traffic of the railway, as evinced by the half-yearly Reports, the Directors m2y be allowed to notice the gratifying fact, that out of 1,483,123 passengers, conveyed on an average sixty-five miles and a quarter each from the 17th of Sep tember, 1835. to the 31st of December last, according to the Stamp-office returns, not one accidcnt attended with loss of life or limb to a passenger has occurred, although during the whole of this period the works were under going those extensive repairs which are inseparable from great excavations and embankments, and requiring the frequent p'ssage along the line of trains heavily laden with materials. If, then, under these circumstances of disadvantage, the Directors are enabled to exhibit results which in the infancy of the undertaking could only h ave been attained by regulations well considered, and, with few exceptions, carefully observed, it must be admitted that railways afford ample assurance for the safety of tra velling, and that the London and Birmingham line pos sesses resources adequate to any extent of traffic. " The Directors, having carried the proceedings of the Harrow inquest before a higher tribunal, purposely ab stain from any comment on the extraordinary verdict of the Jury. " Reverting to the statements of accounts which are be fore the meeting, the Directors have to remark that the expenditure on the stock or capital account (C) has been, with few exceptions, for the objects to which they called attention in their last Report, namely, extensions of stations, and the additions to the Company's carrying stock, which an increasing traffic requires. " The recommendation of the Directors to create new shares, under the powers of the Company's Acts, for the redemption of the mortgage debt of 1,375,0001., having been acceded to by the Proprietors individually, a resolu tion of approval by the present meeting will be required to give effect to the measure. " The Directors have to announce the resignation of Mr. Edward Wilson, and their election of Mr. Christopher t\ph il veaaA i vi r d ki adr ete J eris o ,olo n oi f e s Btopearup cent.p y his r e p bpr l t aasacs annum oen . fdu,mt h They oe u authorisingtco haveo Company p also to report the lamented death of one of the original Directors of the Company, John Sturge, Esq., and that they do not pro pose to fill up the vacancy. " The following Directors go out of office at the pre sent meeting, and are re-eligible :--Edward Cropper, Esq., Robert Garnet, t,sg. i E l s o q m ., a3 G rr e o o o rg k e e, C E a s r q r ., G e l n y d n, Jo E s s e q p . h , E u d t °g i cl o s. : ll l ' v as then passed, declarfintgheaprdoifivtidseonfdthaet any the in c to on n ve c r ; undertaking. ensued :—The principal following circumstances, of s cus s o i o f nt the e f c o re considerable paoy .f_ointerest, repairs arising engines,the place that a consider tensiye is the establishment at that midwayecc . have between been theerected t wo a t e t r rn W i n o i l Wolverton, ttohne, railway. a s tati o n a o b e ci x u . t . was es de then shiress workshopsi c A A I n d : i fot the e2m eoa rct resolutionhg each. t e able village, composed of the men in the Company's ser vice and their families; has sprung up where formerly there was not a single habitation. The Company has er:ctcd houses for the men, and allotted gardens to them, and some time since voted a grant of money for the erection of schools for the infant and adult population, but still there was no means of supplying them win] religious instruction. The trustees of the Ratcliffe estate, through which this part of the railway is made, thereupon offered to build and endow a church, and to provide a fund for future repairs, if the Railway Company would contribute 1,0001. towards this desirable object. Accordingly, at the last meeting a proposal that such contribution be me le was brought forward by a gentleman na me d J ones , w h o , it is worthy of notice, is himself a Dissente r , an d was car ried with but one dissentient voice. In the interim be tween that meeting and the present some twenty-eight or thirty of the Proprietors, almost all of whom are members of the Society of Friends, objected to the grant, and me morialized the Directors on the subject. They also took the opinion of the Attorney. General upon the legality of any such grant when made by a Railway Company, which opinion was against the grant. The matter now came on for discussion. The Quakers contended that, however de sirous they might be of promoting the moral and religious instruction of the Company's servants, it was not right that they should be compelled to contribute to the sup port of the Church of England, from which they con scientiously differed. They proposed, theref ore , t h at t h e resolution of the previous meeting should be rescinded, and that the amount required should be raised by volun tary subscription. To this it was moved as an amendment that their proportion of the 1,0001. (about atid. per share) should be returned to all who dissented from its appropria tion to the purpose proposed, and after a very long discus. sion, which was conducted on both sides with much good feeling, a vote was taken, when there appeared for the amendment 2b, against it 17, thus confirming by a majority of eight the original g rant o f 1,0001. subject to any deduction which may be made in respect of the dissen tients' shares, As, however, it was understood throughout that it was not the amount of money but the pr!nciple in volved, which formed the subject of dispute, it is not likely that the grant will be seriously diminished from this cause, but, if so, it was understood that the full amount would be made up by voluntary subscriptions on the part of the proprietors. The Directors named in the concluding paragraph of the report having been re-elected and other business trans. acted, a special vote of thanks to the chairman and Direc tors for their able and arduous exertions on behalf of the Company, was carried by acclamation, and the meeting separated. THE RAILWAYS. Sir Frederick Smith has been actively engaged since the new year in inspecting the western lines projected into Scotland. When the inspection is completed, he will then have before him the whole four lines, the merits of each of which ere strongly advocated by their respective supporters The cast line, from Edin burgh, by Dunbar and Berwick, to Newcastle, which its supporters hold as the best line between the two capitals—London and Edinburgh. 2. The east mid land line, from Edinburgh, by Galashiels, through Rex burghshire and the North Tyne, joining the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway at Hexham, about forty miles from Carlisle. This is held out as giving Edinburgh the advantage of communication both to London by Newcastle, and to Liverpool and Manchester by Car lisle. 3. The west midland line, frcm Carlisle by Bea tock, through Clydesdale, to Edinburgh and Glasgow, by two diverging lines of thirty miles each, from Syming_ ton, in this county, or a point on the Clyde above Lanark. This is strongly advocated, as giving the nearest communication both from Edinburgh and Glasgow to London, as well as the west of England, with the ad vantage of accomplishing this for the greatest part of the way by only one line. This line is reported as the best by Mr. Locke; and it may be worthy of remark that it appears to have been by this line, and also from a similar point of divergence, that the Roman armies marched from England to both the east and west of Scotland ; and from near the same Roman station diverges the great par liamentary road, e:ecuted by the late Mr. Telford, under the Government Commissioners for improving the commu nication between England and Stirling, or the north of Scotland. 4. The westmost line, from Carlisle by Dum fries, Sanqubar, and Ayrshire, to Glasgow. This is held out to be the best communication from Glasgow to all England by the report of Mr. Miller, engineer. The line to Edinburgh from Symington, running on the north of the Pentleid range, is considered a much easier line, and through a much more productive district, than the one previously surveyed to Edinburgh by Linfon, on the south of the Pentlands ; but the point of divergence, we believe, commands both sides of that range, as well as both sides of the Clyde. Sir Frederick, we have also reason to under stand, was satisfied with the field plans submitted to him by the gzntlemen interested in the eastern line, and was surprised, after the long period elapsing since his appoint ment, that neither of the ,Nithsda le nor the Annandale and Clydesdale lines had been sufficiently mapped or de lineated, and this circumstance may, perhaps, account for the rumoured decision in favour of the cast line.—Berwick Paper.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. --- Mr. Forster, of the house of Forster and Smith, of New City Chambers, appeared to complain against a druggist who had been employed by the ship's-husband of the Nunez, to supply medicines to that vessel on her voyage to the coast of Africa, six months ago. He stated that he had given due notice to the druggist to at tend, but it did not appear that the defendant meant to keep his word to appear upon his defence, although the charge was a very serious one. Alderman PIRIE, who presided, stated that the case was one of very great public importaflce, and he should hear the circumstances whether the accusal made his appearance or not. - The defendant having been called several times by the officer, and no answer having been returned, Mr. Forster proceeded to state the particulars. Having heard from the Captain of the Nunez that con siderable sickness had taken place on board the vessel, which had been detained in the rainy season on the coast of Africa, he made the inquiries which might be reasonably expected. In the course of the conversa tion, the Captain said that his medicine chest appeared to have been badly fitted up, and that the medicines were so adulterated as to be altogether useless. As the directions issued by the house in which he (Mr. Forster) was a partner, with regard to every ship with which they were connected, were, that no expense should be spared in the medicine chest, he gave orders that the medicine chest of the Nunez should be ex amined, and Mr. Battley, of Fore -street, having ex. amined it, the following letter was received from that gentleman's house : " Cripplegate, Jan. 18, 1841. " Sir,—Mr. Battley desires me to say, that he has examined the medicines you sent here yesterday, with the following result :—The calumel he finds to be the best of the medicines which the chest contains, but no* perfectly in a pure state. The Dovet's powder, rhu barb, and jalap, exceedingly bad, so much as to be ob vious to a casual obs7rver. With regard to the tinc tures, they contain little or no spirit, and are evidently not made according to the direction which the College of Physicians lays down. The rest of the medicines and preparations are for the most part very indifferent. Mr. Battley further desires me to sny, that Mr. Han bury, of the firm of Messrs. Allen, Hanbury, and Co. of Plough-court, has likewise inspected the medicines, and perfectly coincides with Mr. Battley in Fis opinion of them.—l am, Sir (for R. Battley), your obedient servant, " EDWARD JOWETT." —Upon finding that the medicines supplied for such a place as the coast of Africa were of such a description, he (Mr. Forster) determined, for the public safety, to institute an inquiry, particularly as Sir Henry Hilford, the President of the College of Physicians, expressed a decided opinion that something ought to be done with the vendor of such vile medicines ; and as the distribu tion of medicines in merchant ships depended upon the captains, he ascertained that the practice of supplying bad medicine to vessels of the kind was carried on to a most serious extent, more especially at Liverpool. Alderman PeasE said that the shipping interest were greatly indebted to Mr. Forster for having comb for ward upon this occasion. He wished to know whether the men had taken any of the medicine. Captain James Paddon, of the ship Nunez, stated that the men bad refused to take any of the medicine, and he could not himself take any of it. He lost all his men on the voyege. Alderman Prere—Would they have taken the medi cines if they had been good ? Captain Paddon—No. They would not have taken any thing except salts. They were most obstinate ; I tried to take some myself, but I could not. Out of eleven all died except myself and three blacks. Mr. Henry Hennel, of Apothecaries Hall, was then called. He stated that he had examined the rhubarb and jalap, being the principal medicines used on voy ages of the kind, and neither of them possessed any ono character of those drugs. It was impossible to say what the stuff called rhubarb was. Mr. D. B. Hanbury of the house of Allen, Hanbury, and Co., Plough-court, stated that the rhubarb and jalap described had none of the properties of the real medicines. The other contents of the medicine chest were, to say the least, very inferior, and the proportion of spirit in the tinctures was, if any, extremely small. Alderman PIRIE was anxious to know whether there was any check upon practices such as were thus ex posed ?—A medical gentleman said, that a censor from the College of Physicians was the only check, and the visitation was very unfrequent. Mr. Chandler, druggist, of Fore-street—The censor, or deputation from the College of Physicians, has visited me but once for 11 years. I know several shops in which they never have been to examine the medicines. Mr. Hanbury looked at the bill of parcels, and said that at his counter the medicines would be sold at the same price, and be of the first quality. In furnishing medicine chests they would be at a lower rate. Alderman PIRIE said, that the matter disclosed at the justice-room was very properly brought forward, and he was convinced that what had taken place would render great service to the public, used as it would be by the press. THE " FORGET-ME-NOT." (From the Boulogne Gazfqlc.) A stern-looking matter-of-fact sort of a bookseller, named Regnard, was summoned before the Judge of t ilia :...,ou:t by one of the most engaging little millners that could be seen in a day's march—so innocent, so preposessing, so full of sentiment, the spirit of poetry, and the affections of the heart, that she at once en gaged the sympathies of all who were present. She had summoned the bookseller to restore a book con taining a" Forget-me not," which was her property. The Judge—M. Regnard, you are summoned here to prodace a book belonging to this 3 oung person, called " The Pious Hours of Christian Ladies." Regnard—Oui, Monsieur ; I bought it with a num ber of other books. But it is not a very saleable book. I prefer such books as "le PeCte Cuisiniere Bour geoise," cr " les Euvres de Piron," which are much more in the spirit of the present age.—(Laughter.) Regine stated that she had been apprenticed to Madame Duval, a milliner. Unhappily she had lately died, and her grief for her beloved mistress was so great that it made her ill, and she was laid upon a sick bed. In six weeks afterwards she went to the house of the late Madame Duval to claim her little effects, when she found that everything had been sold off for the benefit of the creditors. Itcgnard—Well, that is an affecting story of your's, and reminds me of Paul and Virginia, which, by the bye, is a book which has had a great sale.—(Laughter.) The Judge (to Regine)—Did you then demand the restitution of your property? . . . Regine—Only of the one book in question, Sir, which I was desirous of having, on account of its being it " souvenir." Regnard—l have brought, Monsieur, a book called " Les Heures pieuses des Dames. - It is a good edition, bound in red morocco. Here it is : lam ready to give it up, if Mademoiselle will consent to g:ve me the three francs which it cost me when I purchased it. llegine—l am willing to reimburse, you for the book, provided you will furnish me with my own copy. That is not my copy ; and it was for restit ut i on o f my own book, and not for an ordinary copy of it, that I summoned you, Itegnard—How do you know that this is not yours? It is the same edition, has the same binding, and the plates are precisely what you describe. Regine (sorrowfully)—Oh I I know my own poor little book. It always opens in the same place ; and besides, it has been more used than this. The Judge—A book has been delivered to the officer of the Court, M. Regnard, very like that which you produce. Your wife, it appears, found it in the shop. Look, Mademoiselle, is this your book ? Regine (trembling with joy) —Oh, yes, yes, yes, that is m . no. How do you distinguish it ? ulways opens at the same place, at the mass. Look, you will see it open. Hereupon Rcgine took the precious little volume in her hands, which at cace, almost of its own accord, opened in the centre, and at the spot indicated, disclosing to view a little dried specimen of the myosotis, or '° Forget-me-not." Judge—Did you place the flower there ? Regine—Oh, Monsieur, if I had placed it there, think you that I should have set such a value upon the book? Oh no ; it was placed there by my dear mother, only two short weeks before she descended to the silent grave ; and I have so often wept upon that page when praying for her repose, that the book always opens in the one place. All present were much moved by the unaffected eimplic;tv and affection of the poor girl ; and in deed tine bookseller himself had allowed his feel ings to be so much wrought upon, that he refused to receive the three francs which he had paid for the book. " Take it," said he, handing her the vo lume, " take it, an d k eep y ou r money. When you are married, g i ve i t to your children ; and, to set them an example of v i r t ue and affection, you will only have to point to that flower and say, Ne aoubliez pas.'" GLASGO W C ATHEDRAL .--Some time back we informed our readers of the dangerous settlements which threatened the security of this ancient edifice, and that an eminent architect had been commissioned by Go vernment to proc ee d to Gl asgow t o report upon the neces sary me asures to b e adopted for i ts preser vation. Ther e is now no d ou b t b ut that one of the transe pts must be en tirely r e b u il t ; i n the meantime the walls supporting the superstructure of the beautiful spire are being shored up with wood and iron struts, which, as they must intersect the gateway, will temporarily obstruct its passage.—Court Journal. CHlNA.—Although Lord Jocelyn, who is the bearer of desp a t c h es f rom Ch i na, an d who arrived by the Oriental steam ship, is still undergoing quarantine at Liverpool, wo b e li eve t h at su ffi c i e nt of the intelligence which he brings has transpired to enable us to account for that protracted stay of Admiral Elliot at Chusan, which has been the s u bj ect o f so muc h di s cussion in misinformed Indian and B r iti s h j ourna l s . The fact we believe to be, that Ad m i ra l Elliot on his return to Chusan from th e P c ih o River, ' a ft e r an absence of about two months, found t h at i t wa s necessary to make certain military and other arrangements at Chusan before he pro cee d e d to C anton. The deat h o f that gallant and at4l? officer, C o l one l Oglander, threw the co mmand of the military f orce i nto t h e hands of C o l one l Burrell. His ill ness, no doubt, had p revente d him from taking those Inca sores which Ad m i ra l Elli ot, on hi s return, found to be ne cessary, and which he h a d remained to complete. We hear that th e ga ll ant an d di st i ngu i s hed officer' Sir Hugh Gough, who was to be dispatched from India to assume the command of our military f orc es in China, would pro ceed with all haste to Chusan,.., Observer. HATTON-GARDEN. A young man named Carr, the keeper of an oil shop, in the Liverpool-road, was charged with having broken a number of windows under the following extra ordinary circumstances : Mr. Miller, of No. 6, Mount-row, Islington, stated that for nesrly twelve months his windows, and the windows of his neighbours bad been almost daily broken, and although the stones, brickbats, &c., were known to have come from the defendant's premises, and a watch litrl been kept day and night, no proof could be obtained that the prisoner was the mischievous and malicious delinquent until yesterday morning, when he was seen by witness to throw from his garret window a stone, which broke three panes of glass. Mr. Steele, who attended oa behalf of the defendant, here addressed the Magistrate, stating that his client would not deny the charge of breaking the three squares of glass. He regretted the act, and would make any compensation. Mr. GREENWOOD said then there was an end of the case. If the money had not been forthcoming, he should have committed the defendant to the House of Correction. The scene at this stage was most extraordinary ; up wards of twen'y ladies and gentlemen rushed towards the Magistrate, exhibiting bags containing stones, which they said had smashed their windows. Some of the missiles were of a very largo and dangerous description, and had broken heads as well as glass. The damage done was immense, and for a long while the neighbour hood had been is the greatest terror and excitement. _ _ Mr. Steele—Here is only one charge proved against my client; he has admitted his guilt and nude atone ment, and I will answer that there shall not be a rcpt• tition of this. Sergeant Pagan, of the N division, remarked that injury to an immense extent had likewise been done in Islington by the explosion of packets called infernal ma chines. The front of the house of Mr. Ladd, of the Penton Arms, Pentonville, and several others, were partially destroyed by the ignition of these instruments, and there was good ground for charging the accused with these fiendish acts, he having been seen near Mr. Ladd's a few minutes previous to the explosion. The prisoner's house was so situated that he might easily have committed all the damage that was so justly com plained of by the ladies and gentlemen present. Mr. Steele—You cannot go into the matter further without proof. I again repeat that this conduct will not occur any more. Mr. Greenwood—lt is a most abominable thing that the lives and property of respectable persons have been so endangered ; I, however, cannot now proceed further in the matter. The defendant having paid the damage done to Mr. Miller's property, left the Court amidst the hisses and groans of a very crowded Court. There were at least 500 stones produced which had been flung throngh windows. REFLECTING TELEsCOPES —Unfortunately Sir William Herschel never made public the means by which he succeeded in giving such gigantic development to this telescope, and the construction of a large I%l:lector is still a perilous adventure. According. however, to a re port by Dr. Robinson to the Irish Academy, Lord Ox mantown has overcome the diffiulties, and carried to an extent which even Herschel himself did not venture to contemplate, the illuminating power of this telescope, along with a sharpness of definition little inferior to that of the achromatic : and it is scarcely possible, he observes, to preserve the necessary sobriety of language in speaking of the moon's appearance with this instrument, which Dr. Robinson believes to be the most powerful ever constructed. However, any question, about this optical pre-eminence is likely soon to be decided, for Lord Oxmantown is about to construct a telescope of six feet aperture, and fifty feet focus, mounted in the meridian, but with a range of about half an hour on each side of it !—Atheneeum. MINISTERIAL REFORMS.--We have the sa tisfaction of thinking that we see, in the measures proposed by Ministers, a general move in the direction of reform: The Chancellor's Bill for the improvement of the admi nistration of justice in the Courts of Equity; Lord Normanby's measure for draining, so important to the comfort and health of the poor ; Mr. Fox Maule's County Courts Bill ; all these are schemes of improvement for ends of great public utility. The last, the County Courts Bill, will have to contend with the jealousies of the unpaid Ma gistracy. Already the question has been raised in Parlia ment, not whether the general effect of the measure would be advantageous or not to the public, but whether it would not trench on the authority and consequence of the unpaid Magistrates, as if the importance of the Great Unpaid were an object paramount to the administrationof justice. These modest gentlemen would in effect say, " This plan may be all very well for the public; it may bring home cheap justice to the doors of the poor, but that is not the main thing to be considered ; if it take any p in cle from our authority and importance, if it supersede us in any ckgree, or promise to do so by presenting the comparison between better and worse tribunals, the benefit to the public must kick the beam when weighed against the detriment to the consequence of the Magistracy."— Examiner.
