The Sun. — London, England, 1841-12-02 00:00:00

MORNING SUN Mr. Selby. The question was not whether the prisoner had omitted to record the receipt of the money in the book, but whether he had omitted to do so for the pur pose of defrauding the parish. The items entered in the audited accounts were items of totals, not of each specific ton shillings received by the prisoner. They ought not to have left his accounts unaudited for two years, and then to have called upon him to ac count for a specific sum of ten shillings. It was a mere matter of account between the parties, as was proved by the conduct of the guardians in stopping moneys belong ing to the prisoner, and by the mode in which they had always kept their accounts, and by their own resolutions. The _Lamed Gentleman, having concluded his address, called Mr. George Selby—l am the vestry-clerk of the parish of St. James, Clerkenwell—l have been so 25 years. I was also clerk to the guardians. I resigned that office some short time since. The prisoner has been in my service 14 or 15 years. His occupations have been multifarious, and a great deal of them. I recollect his being appointed collector of the bastardy dues in 1836. He had a great deal more parish business to transact. There was a person at the gate to receive sums received at the workhouse. I was called upon by the Board of Guardians to make good certain reported defalc•ationLs in the Lccounts of Hill. I applied to llill on the subject. There were other matters for which I was liable to the parish, for which lie was not. I have always been ready to pay to the guardians what ever sums Hill's liabilities to the parish might amount to, whether legally or morally responsible. I have, since the prisoner has been charged with defrauding, received money that ought to have hewn paid to him, with which he had charged himself a sum of money from Cameron. Mr. Pascell handed me a paper on the subject of the ac counts, and desired me to get written answers, knowing I could get them from no one but Hill. His character is so good that I would have confided anything to him. By the COURT—Iu all his accounts with me he has been most correct. Cross-examined—l did not recommend Air. Hill for the appointment. I gave a guarantee for him. I knew the duties he would have to perform. In consequence of the late change in the Poor-law, the bastard cases have been fewer than formerly. I know he is a defaulter in the broker's account, but do not know exactly to what amount. I have heard him say that the outstanding amounts upon that account are nearly sufficient to cover the defalcations. I have never had any mistake in the bastardy account. I have nut changed my mind. . _ . Mr. Nf: Hill—Do you now intend to pay the bas tardy account? Witness—l cannot say Ido now. I think I have been called on to pay more than his defalcations amount to. Re-examined—Mr. Pascell and Mr. Lovell came to me some days ago, to know how much of the 7001., alleged to be due I intendel to pay. Several witnesses gave the prisoner an excellent cha racter. Mr. M. D. HILL having replied, Mr. Baron ALDERSON summed up, and the Jury found the prisoner guilty. There were six other indictments against the prisoner. Ile was again placed at the bar upon one of the other indictments, and after a short conversation with his Counsel he expressed a wish to retract his plea of not guilty and to plead guilty, and was permitted to do so accordingly. lir. CLARKSON represented to the Court that the pri soner was himself a cripple, and that he had a wife and seven children. The CounT sentenced him to two years' imprisonmen with hard labour. NEW COURT. The Recor er took his seat yesterday morning in this Court at nine o'clock, and disposed of several cases of larceny ot . a very minor description. ILLNESS OF Ma. SERGEANT ARARIN.—In consequence of the continued indisposition of Mr. Sergeant Arabin, the Deputy Recorder of the City, and, in order that there should be no interruption in the business of the Court, Mr. Justice Coltman took his seat in this Court at ten ten o'clock, and proceeded to try the cases on the list, all of which were of a very ordinary description, many of them consisting of robberies of pocket handkerchiefs on Lord Mayor's Day, and larcenies of the most petty description. John Mahoney was indicted with stealing eight horse shoes, the property of his master, Benjamin Whitmee. The Jury, without any hesitation, acquitted the prisoner. _ Mary Evans. 18, Catharine Oakford, 19, and Lydia Miles, 20, were indicted for stealing one waistcoat, one pair of trovrsers, a 10/. bank-note, and eight sovereigns, the property of Thomas Longfoot. X policeman, who took the prisoners into custody, stated that he was passing up Holborn on the day in queAtion, when he met the prisoners carrying a bundle, and observing something suspicious in the conduct of the prisoners, he watched, and subsequently took them all to the station-house, where they were searched, and the articles named in the indictment were found upon them. The witness afterwards found the prosecutor, who iden tified the property. On the person of Miles a key was found, the property of the prosecutor. The prosecutor stated that he met the prisoners, and they enticed him into a house. He was much intoxi cated at the time, and, when he awoke in the morning, Fe found his property gone. The house was No. 3, Pleasant-court, Gray's Inn-lane. Mr. DOANE and Mr. BALLANTINE, who appeared for the prisoner, having addressed the Jury. The LEARNED JUDGE summed up, and The Jury found the prisoners Guilty.—Sentence de fe•rred. MESMERISM, BY MR. HALSE. Last evening Mr. liaise repeated the lecture which he had delivered on Monday, in the same theatre, the City Hall, Chancery-lane. A most respectable company, comprised of about one hundred persons, ladies and gentlemen, attended for nearly three hours to the lecture and illustrations, which, strange to say, were never for a moment interrupted, and appeared to be in the highest degree satisfactory. To the Reporter for this Paper it was evident that the Lecturer had not sufficiently observed the phenomena which he undertook to elucidate, to enable him to produce them in an impressive manner, or to elicit from his susceptible and interesting patients all the manifestations which they are capable of exhi biting. To a candid mind, however, his very deficiency is a proof of his sincerity, for it was evident that a prac tised charlatan could have easily managed better with such materials. Mr. Halse is unaccustomed to public exhi bitions; but the sincerity and simplicity of his manners create an impression in his favour, and the firmness of his character will shortly enable him to overcome the ditii culties which his inexperience occasions. The meeting ' separated with unqualified expressions of satisfaction. HIGH WINDS AND FLOODS. The high wind on Monday night was productive of much mischief westward of the metropolis. Hyde Park and Kensington-gardens were on Tuesday morning strewed with massive limbs and branches of trees, while numerous were the shrubs levelled to the ground. Nearly opposite the Kensington -gate of Hyde Park a house newly erected by a builder named Paine had the roof completely carried away by the wind. In the Duke of Devonshire's park at Chiswick much damage was done ; and also at Sion Park, the seat of the Duke of Northumberland, Osterley Park, the seat of the Earl of Jersey, and in Hanworth Park, the scat of Mr. H. Perkins, several valuable trees have been torn up by the roots. The heavy rains during the last few days have occa sioned large floods throughout the neighbourhood of the metropolis, which have been productive of much loss and damage, and in many places have occasioned great alarm amongst the inhabitants. About Hanwell all the low lands are under water, while in the neighbourhood of Greenford, Northolt, Perivale, and the surrounding p Ins below Harrow, the roads are in many places dan gerous, and in some impassable, some of the sergeants o f police reporting on Tuesday morning that, owing to the height of the water, they had been unable to visit t h e whole of the constables in their sections. About Uxbridge, and the lower parts of East Bucks, the coun try i s greatly inundated, an d much damage has been done both to crops and cattle. At Brentford, on Mon day night, the inhabitants were greatly alarmed by the continued rise of the water s of the. Grand Junction Canal, which were swolien and increased to an alarming extent. On Tuesday morning the wha r f s of Mr. Sims and others on the banks of the canal were flooded, but the considAerfebnldea.y night a ne w shop front in Church-street, Borough, was blown with great violence into the street, the p anes of g lass flying about in all directions, and the whole being completely smashed to pieces. A female who was a ssing b y rn wasthe csheeveekrely wounded by a piece of glass striki n g her About nine o'clock on Tue sday morning a high chimney, belonging to an unoccupied house in Ber mondsey -street, fell, and did considerable damage to the roof of the house. In St. George's-road, Lambeth, a stack of chimneys, on the house of Mr. Wheelton, fruiterer , fell with a tre mendous crash, driving in a large portion of the roof with it ; fortunately no person was in the attic at the with time, or the occurrence would have beeh attended fatal results. At Greenwich several fields, as well as public tho roughfares, adjaceutto the river Ravensbourne, were completely covered with water. An extent of near ly thirty acres of meadow land, at the back of Blackheath road, during Monday and Tuesday, presented the ap pearance of a large lake. At Lewisham the high road was overflown for several hundred yards, and foot pas sengers were conveyed over in carts. At Lee, South end, Mottingham, and various other places, the same result from the almost unprecedented rains of Monday ensued. At Lee Green the main road was covered from a small stream which in dry weather a person can step across, but in which, during a heavy fall of rain some time since, a farmer, residing in Kent, was unfor tunately drowned. He was returning home one night, and, not being aware that the water had risen, drove his horse into the stream. At Southend several fields belonging to Mr. Edgerton, farmer, were quite inun dated. At Brockley, Peckbam, some fields near the Grand Surrey Canal, and again in places nearer the metropolis, patches of land arc overflowed, some of them to a great extent. The river onTuesday morning was a terrible scene of confusion, th e craft were adrift and sinking in all di rections, and not fewer than one hundred barges laden with coals got loose from their moorings and sunk during the night. The shipping has not sustained much damage, but many tiers got adrift, and a few vessels received irijury,by the barges going athwart them. The hurricane on Sunday and Monday nights has been se verely felt in the Channel, and at Plymouth, Falmouth, the Downs, end other places there are more than two hundred sail of vessels outward and homeward bound waiting for a fair wind to get under weigh. Ramsgate harbour is crowded with vessels of all nations which have taken refuge there. The Nelson steam-tug towed a schooner off the sands near Margate at five o'clock on Monday afternoon, and reached St. Katherine Docks with her yesterday at twelve at noon. The captain of the steamer reports that several vessels had gone ashore or were on the sands, and that the gale was one of the most severe he ever experienced. A very fatal and distressing accident happened on the river, between Wandsworth and Putney. Two lads, of the names of Moor and Vincent, whose parents live at Putney, were out in a skiff. When the weather became very boisterous, they endeavoured to reach the Surrey shore, about half a mile above Wandsworth meadows ; but from bad management, with the high wind and strong tide, the boat unhap pily swamped. Vincent almost immediately disap peared ; but Moor, being a good swimmer, succeeded in reaching the shore, although in a very exhausted state. The accident was seen from a sailing-barge, but those on board were unable to render any assistance. The body of the poor youth who perished bas not yet been found. Owing to the very high wind on Tues day, many other accidents, in addition to the above melancholy one, happened on the river. Three men were upset in a boat off Rotherhithe, but providen tially they were all saved. Near Greenwich a man was blown from the yard-arm of a coasting vessel, but for tunately falling into the river, he sustained no injury, and was picked up by a waterman's boat. MARYLEBONE LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC INSTITUTION. The Choral Society of this Institution gave their second monthly concert for the season at their rooms, Edward-street, Portman-square, on Monday evening. The audience was fashionable, and very crowded ; indeed so thronged was the attendance, that members who arrived, even before the concert commenced, were obliged to leave, being unable to gain admittance. The entertainment was divided into two parts. In the first, which consisted of sacred pieces, were princi pally to be noticed three movements from the credo of Haydon's Mass, No. 3, as also an "0 Salutaris Hostia," very well sung by a young lady and gentleman, both pupils of M. Le Jeune, who presided at the piano. The national anthem, " God save the Queen," terminated this part. The pieces composing the second part were better suited to the taste of the audience that generally assembles at these concerts. There were several pretty ballads, in which Miss E. Terrey, of the Adelphi Theatre, was by no means the least conspicuous ; she elicited un bounded applause, and was decidedly and deservedly the favourite of the evening. Her singing of the universally admired " Kate Kearney," drew forth a rapturous encore; and in " The Hunter of Tyrol" she acquitted herself equally well. Among the other pieces deserving of notice we may mention Spoforth's glee for five voices, " Come Bounteous May;" Sale's "Butterfly," excellently sung by two gentlemen; and " Dermot Astore," by Miss Pitt. " Deh con te," from Bellini's opera of Norma, was given by two young ladies in a style that elicted merited plaudits; and "Una Voce," from Il Barbiere, by a young lady who accompanied herself on the piano. The instrumental part included twenty performers, among whom were some professionals. The execution throughout was good, and if we missed that perfection and ensemble to be met with only among professed artistes, yet it is but justice to say that the whole affair was cre ditably sustained, and passed off with eclat. We are happy to find that this institution, which had been drooping hitherto, is quickly returning to a state of prosperity, and daily receiving additions to its members. HALF A DOZEN DISQUALIFICA TIONS FOR WIIIST. 1. Chattering about the game ; intolerable, if loud and incessant. 2. Going over the last deal again, the " Ifs I" and the" Ifs you had," and the " Ifs he hadn't," being the burden of the song ! perfect torture. 3. Being eaget; annoying everybody by throwing downs cards violently, and adapting the action to every momentary feeling, with occasional interjections, and thus, moreover, exposing your own and partner's hands, 4. Being able to play but moderately, constantly at tempting finesse and a deep game, and looking won drous wise, like a monkey at draughts or backgammon ; condescending at times to testify your approval of your partner's play. 5. Abusing your partner if he play badly, or you fancy so, or not the card you wanted, thereby giving pain or affront, sometimes past endurance—ending often in some abominable, and if to a woman, unmanly insult. 6. Losing your temper because you have not won, and making yourself very ridiculous and disagreeble. Any three of which ought to establish a simple and unanimous vote of disqualification.—Hampshire Tele graph. On Monday the three men, Francis, Naylor, and Smith, who have been for some time in the custody of the Hertford police on a charge of highway robbery of an aggravated description, were brought before the Hon. Captain Hotham and a full bench of Magistrates, at the Town-hall, Hertford, for final examination. It will be recollected that the prosecutor, a veterinary sur geon, named Edwards, was returning home from Hert ford market on horseback, about six o'clock in the even ing of the 13th November, and when he arrived near Benger he was assaulted by four men, who dragged him violently to the ground, and then forcibly rifled his per son, and robbed him of some gold and silver, a watch, and other articles. Upon the former examination the prosecutor swore positively to the identity of two of the prisoners, and expressed a strong belief that the third was also one of his assailants ; and several other wit nesses were examined, who likewise proved that the prisoners, and a fourth man. were seen going in the direction of the place where the robbery occurred, about the time that it was committed. Two of the prisoners at the former examination attempted to establish an alibi, but the evidence they produced was of a very vague and unsatisfactory character, and the Magistrates remanded the prisoners till this day, to afford an opportunity for further inquiry. Darin.- the interval that h as e l a p se d, Knight, the Superintendent of the Hertford rural police, succeeded in obtaining further evidence tending to con firm the former testimony as to the prisoners being seen near the spot where the robbery was committed, and the Bench, after a searching investigation, said they felt it to be their duty to commit the prisoners to the county gaol to take their trial at the next assizes. THE WEATHER.--LOSS OF LlFE.—Tues day morning, about half-past six o'clock, four persons, of the names of Pearson, Davis, Price, and Hodgson, boat wrights, and who resided in Manor-street, Chelsea, were proceeding by water to Hammersmith with their tools, on purpose to repair a vessel which was lying in that part of the river. They were all rowing, when, by some accident, the boat came in contact with another about a mile this side of the bridge, the concussion of which, coupled with the boisterous state of the weather, caused the boat to upset, and all four were precipitated into the water. Davis, Price, and Hodgson saved themselves, one by clinging to the boat, the other two by swimming ashore, but Pearson unfortunately was drowned. DISTRESS AT KILMARNOCK,—.UntiI within the last four years the trade of Kilmarnock was in a con dition of considerable prosperity, and the manufacturers have, in consequence, been enabled hitherto to bear up under the depression better than in many other places. It is now felt, however, that there are limits to endurance, and the disasters in other quarters are beginning to tell there also. Among the muslin weavers, from 600 to 700 have been out of regular employment during the greater part of the summer. Among the printers, about 500 are at present with out the means of procuring work. The carpet wearers are only employed two-thirds of their time. When the dependents upon those who are either partially or en tirely out of work come to be added the total number in a state of poverty will be found very large. The means of procuring the bare necessaries of existence being wanting, we need scarcely say, that, in other res pects, the population is in a rapidly deteriorating condi tion. Rent paying is totally out of the question ; new clothes for the person cannot for a moment be thought of ; additional bed clothes and bedding, so necessary to resist the severities of winter, are placed far beyond the reach of these unfortunate individuals. Fever, too, has prevailed to a large extent, adding its ravages to the other misfortunes. The population is, in short, re duced to a condition not superior to what has often been described as the aspect of the worst parts of Ireland. Although the means of relief are not entirely absent, a 'Tap kitchen having been for about two months in opera tion, still th ey f a ll f ar s h ort o f the ex i genc i es o f t h e case.

Evidence was heard at length on the two charges, when the Magis trates fined Lark in the mitigated penaity of .5/., and dis missed the other charge. The fine was immediately paid. HIGH TIDE. —Yesterday afternoon, between three and four o'clock, the tide in the river rose to such an unusual height, that in many parts the nts &c., were overflowed, an d quays, wharfs, embankine , 1 usec to the damage to an enormous extent was cagoods and property in the warehouses by the river-side. The street along Banksi , - 'de f ro m London -bridge to Black friars-bridge, was a complete river, and for upwards of an hour and a half rendered impassable for foot-passen gers. Many of the floorings of the warehouses were overflowed to the depth of several inches, and a great number of the cellars were completely filled to the ceil ing. Along the Belvidere-road, Pedlar's-acre, Lambeth, and Vauxhall, similar effects were experienced ; but, as far as could be ascertained, no fatal or serious accidents occurred. The Fishmongers Company have unanimously voted an address of congratulation to the Queen, Prince Albert, and the Duchess of Kent, on the auspicious birth of the heir-apparent to the throne.

SUGAR.—In the absence of a public sale of either Bengal or Mauritius, the market remained very firm, and about 350 hhds and trcs West India Muscovado changed hands privately at rather stiffer prices. 100 hhds Bar badoes at public sale went briskly at 6d to is higher than the last auction, viz, low to fine bright yellow at 65s 6d to 73s per cwt. MAURITIUS.—There being scarcely a parcel of this description left in the hands of the merchants, we have been without a public sale, and very few transactions have taken place by private treaty.

TEA.—To-day three public sales were brought for ward, consisting of 4,755 chests, which, as might be expected so soon after the large public sales in the early part of last week, went off with much heaviness, pro ducing a further slight depression in prices. In these sales were offered 12 pkgs Japan Tea (all green) packed in jars. These teas excited much attention—they were of choice quality—and at once demonstrated that Tea may be grown and manipulated in other countries as well as in China : Nos. 1 and 2 fetched at the rate of 30s; No. 3, 255; No. 4,9 s; No. 5,14 s 6d; Nos. 6 and 7, 13s 6d; No. 8,14 s 6d; No. 9, 255; No. 10, 28s; No. 11, 58s; and No. 12, 54s duty paid, reckoning the wild Tea used in the packing at 3s per lb.

P EDESTRIANISM. — THE GREAT FOOTRACE BETWEEN THE NORTH STAR AND BRIAN.—The great match between the North Star and Brian, to run two miles for a stake of 1001., came off on Tuesday. The place chosen for the contest was Lord's Ground, St. John's Wood, which was staked out so as to make the distance five times round with a few yards added. The merits of both men are too well known amongst the admirers of this description of sport to need any observation of ours, and they had, it was evident by their appearance, paid much attention to their training. Betting was even, the North Star having a trifle, the preference. The umpires and referee having been appointed the men started at half-past three. Brian took the lead at an enormous speed, but held it only 100 yards, when the Star dashed by him, and gradually went in advance. At the conclu sion of the first mile Brian, who was about 50 yards in the rear of his opponent, made a desperate effort to gain , the first place, but without success.. The North Star gradually increased the distance between them, and won by 100 yards or more, completing the two miles under eleven and a half minutes. The ground was in a very bad state. FROM THE FRENCH PAPERS. The Moniteur publishes a Report from M. Kermain gant, Inspector-General of Bridges and Roads, who was sent by the Minister of Public Works to examine into the damage done by the last inundation of the Rhone. He states that the dykes and other hydraulic works have been more or less extensively injured or destroyed at Pont-Saint-Esprit, Monfaucon, Roquemaure, Villeneuve, Aramon, Vallabregue, Beaucaire, and Tarascon ; but that at all these points works of reparation are going on as far as circumstances admit. The Rhone is still very high at Beaucaire, and lower down its course the plain of Saint-Gilles is almost entirely submerged. No general estimate of the damage, which is no donbt considerable, appears as yet to have been formed. The Memorial des Pyrenees says—" A few days ago as a detachment of volunteers of Estramadura was re moving some criminals to Badajoz, they were attacked by eight men on horseback, whose object appeared to be to rescue the prisoners. Uncertain as to the issue of the combat, the volunteers began by shooting the men under their charge, and then attacked the horsemen, whom they put to flight." The Indicateur of Bordeaux states that, on the 24th inst., a suspension bridge over the Dordogne, at Blag nac, gave way, and that a waggon, with seven or eight people, was precipitated into the river, all of whom perished. A baby left by its mother in its cradle, in a cottage, with the door open, at Rolignon, in the Pyrenees, was, a short time ago, killed by a pig, which got into the room, and devoured the poor infant's head. It was reported on 'Change, on Saturday, that the house of A. Balguerie and Co., of Bordeaux, who have also a branch establishment at Havre, had stopped payment, with debts to a very large amount. This failure was considered the more disastrous, as the firm, which were of great respectability and large shippers, had extended their speculations to many undertakings in the Gironde, such as the Teste rail-road, the bridge at Cubsac, and other great works. The Memorial of Bordeaux says, that the cashier of the house of Balguerie contributed to hasten its fall, and has absconded. A complaint has been laid against this person, and a search has been made, but he has not been found. " Whatever may be the secondary causes," this journal adds, " which have more or less contributed to the discomfiture of this firm, it is not the less true that the first and efficient cause is the stagnation, or rather annihilation, of our commerce. Our merchants make vain efforts to struggle against the unnumbered difficulties created for them by the laws affecting trade." The St. Petersburgh papers state that on the 13th instant the Neva began floating down masses of ice suffi ciently large to render the removal of the bridges neces sary, and that on the following day most of the canals were frozen. Although not much snow had fallen, sledges had appeared in the streets. A letter from Rome, in the Augsburgh Gazette, says, that the Pontifical Order of the Golden Spear, instituted by Constantine in commemoration of his victory over Maxentius, has been newly organised by the Pope. The new decoration will be worn suspended from a red rib band, and in the centre of the cross, on a white ground, is the effigy of Pope Silvester. The commanders are to be limited to 180, and the chevaliers to 300, for the states of the Church, but are to be unlimited for foreign States. The Secretary of Briefs is to be Chancellor of the Order. The Minister of Public Works, having received com plaints that the navigation of the Rhone is greatly im peded, as soon as any rise in the water takes place, by the different suspension bridges thrown across that river having been made too low, has issued orders for esti mates to be formed of the expenses required for raising the roadways of all these bridges from 3 to 4 feet above their present elevation. The France Meridionale of Toulouse states that the result of the late census in that town shows the popula tion to be 79,937, being an increase of 2,565 since 1836. The floating part of the population, including the gar rison, the schools, &c., is 10,431. On Saturday last Madame Cannonne; the widow of M. Cannonne, late adjutant of the Palace of the Elysee Bourbon, having fallen asleep near a stove, her clothes took fire, and she was burnt to death. The Nantes journals state that on the 16th instant the church at Gellier, near that town, was struck by light ning. which completely stripped the clock tower, tore off many slates from the roof; and descending into the nave, broke a slab in the pavement, made its way out again by removing a stone 4001bs. weight, passed through a convent adjoining, where it did but some slight da mage, and entered a carpenter's shop, where it destroyed most of the implements. The France states that M. Cavaignac, who was as serted erroneously by a Belgian Journal to have been concerned in getting up the late plot in Belgium, arrived in Paris a few days since from Algiers, to take an active part in the editing of the Journal du Peuple, in conse quence of the imprisonment of M. Dupoty. The King and Queen of Prussia left Munich for Ber lin on the 22d inst. A letter in the German Journal of Frankfort, dated Stockholm, 9th inst„ after contradicting the rumour that the King of Denmark .was going to Norway to pass the winter, says:—" Notwithstanding his age, the King en joys perfect health, and works nine or ten hours every day. He is said to be engaged in writing a treatise to show that the proposition submitted to the States Gene ral in 1823, for a tribunal for scrutinizing the conduct of Ministers previously to. each Session, is contrary to the spirit of the Constitution." _ _ . • The Handlesblad of Amsterdam, of the 25th inst. says—" Prince Frederick of the Netherlands arrived on' Sunday at Loo. Persons who were present at the inter view between him and his father, the ex-King ofHolland, say it was highly affecting. The Prince remained with his father and the Countess, his wife, until eleven o'clock at night, when he returned to the Hague. King Wil liam Frederick was to leave the Hague to-day for Berlin, but it is believed that his absence will be a short one ; he has promised the Protestant clergymen of Apeldoorn to be present at the inauguration of the new church, which is to take place at Easter.:' The Russian Minister of Public Instruction has been lately engaged in improving the University of Kasan, where the Chinese, Arabic, Persian, Turkish, Tartar, and Aretenian tongues, and generally the languages of all the Eastern and Western nations are taught. Stich students as distinguish themselves by their acquirements are sent to travel in the interior of Central Asia, to ac quire a knowledge of the manners, customs, institutions, and religion of the wandering tribes of that part of the world, hitherto so little known. Two young men have lately been sent into European Turkey, Asia Minor, Persia, Arabia, and Egypt, with all instructions and means of acquiring infoonation, which is to be published on their return. The following are the courses of public and gratuitous lectures, on living Eastern languages, appointed to be given at the Royal Library, during the first half of the scholastic year, commencing from Monday, viz.,— Hindostanee, by M. Garcin de Tassy, on Tuesdays, Thursdays. and Saturdays, at a quarter before ten ; Arabic, by M. Reinhaud, on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, at half-past two ; Vulgar Arabic, by M. Caussin de Perceval, on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, at eleven ; Persian, by M. Quatremere, on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, at seven in the evening ; Turkish, by Chevalier Amedee Jaubert, on Wednesdays and Fridays, at twelve ; Armenian, by M. le Vaillant de Florival, on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, at four; Modern Greek, and Greek Palm graphy, by M. Lase, on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sa turdays, at eleven. Much anxiety has been felt by the public in general, but more especially by the citizens of London, as to the completion of the Wellington Statue, the com mission for which was in the hands of the late Sir Francis Chantrey. Various idle reports have been in circulation ; those, however, most conversant with the position of affairs in the deceased artist's atelier seem perfectly easy on the point, feeling confident that this noble work will be satisfactorily completed under the hands of Mr. Weeks, who has, in fact, for a long time past, had the entire execution of the models which have proceeded from the studio of Sir Francis, his own health having, for a very considerable period, precluded him from any interference. MR. THEODORE HOOK'S NOVEL OF " FA THERS AND SONS," is just published, in 3 volumes, with a portrait, and an interesting memoir of the author. The desire to peruse this last production of the lamented Theodore Hook, must be universal. " Fathers and Sons," observes the Illessenger, " is unquestionably one of the best novels of the day. It is full of the peculiar spirit of its witty and humorous author, and is admirable as a specimen of the manners of one species of English gen tlemen, whom, for want of a better name, we must desig nate as " Club Men," meaning those young and elderly gentlemen who spend their leisure hours in one or other of those Palaces of the Sun' in Pall-mall or Charing-cross. The tale, is, therefore, a lively portrai ture of living manners in this class of society; the dia logue is admirable, and the characters throughout well sustained." The Municipal Council of Paris has just adopt ed a set of measures, recommended by a Special Com mission of its members, on the trade in the capital, whereby the system of several of the principal butchers buying meat for the rest, and supplying them with it wholesale, will be put an end to, and every butcher will be compelled to purchase his own beasts for himself at Sceaux or Poissy. The wholesale system has been for some time complained of as tending to raise the price of meat. The Prefect of the Seine has dismissed from his post the Inspector-General of the meat markets, who had opposed the abolition of the system above alluded to. Two days ago, Pierre Mignotie, a shoemaker, who has been acting lately as one of the distributors of the Journal du Pet, was tried before the Paris Tribu nal of Correctional Police, on a charge of illegal posses sion of gunpowder, cartridges, and other ammunition. He stated in reply to a question of the President, as to how he became possessed of the articles, that they had belonged to his father, who is dead, and that he had kept them in remembrance of him. When asked if he was a communist, he replied :—Yes, if communion will make people happy; and when called upon to explain what he understood by the happiness of the people, he said—" I mean that the working classes should have occupation, and that one part of the community should not revel in luxury, whilst the other part wants bread." He was found guilty, and sentenced to 13 months' imprisonment, 50f. tine to the Treasury, and 3,000 f. to the administration of direct taxes." --- HEROIC CONDUCT.—On Tuesday, during the strong gale, which was so severely felt upon the river, a sergeant of marines who had the conduct of a number of recruits on their way to W oo l w i c h , was blown off the W a terman 's I?ier, George-street, Adeiphi, as he was about to step into the boat "Waterman, No. 4," loaded with a heavy trunk. It was at the time high water, and there seemed to be no chance of saving the unfortunate man, whose wife And children were on board the boat. The MORNING . ai l ed engineer of the " Waterman," Mr. Isaac Cartlitlgesiorei, into the river with all his clothes on, and, a t the se ver' neat risk of his own life, succeeded, after a _,„0 3 1 struggle, in bringing the sergeant to the stairs,rerod most vehement cheering.
