At a numerous Meeting of the Inhabitants of Oxford street, at which- the members of the Vestry of Marylebone were invited to attend, held at Clark's Auction-Rooms, Holies street, on Thursday evening, the 30th December, 1841, Mr. Wm. Underwood in the Chair, the following resolutions were severally proposed, and carried unanimously:- Ist. That the inhabitants of Oxford-street have heard, with surprise and regret, that a proposition is entertained by the Vestry of St. Mary-le-bone, to postpone the further use of Wood Paving for three years, although th e t es t or i g i na ll y assigned b) the Vestry for the Wood Paving in Oxford-street was a trial of one year, which probationary period terminated about six months since. It is expected that measures will be taken to facilitate the distribution early. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S—YESTERDAY.

The latter Company's Establishment, No. 444, West Strand, will be continued as a West-end Branch. The Company transacts business in every department of Life and Fire Assurance, in Annuities, Reversions, and Loans. LIFE DEPARTMENT. J. T. CLEMENT, Esq., Actuary. A sum far more than equal to the value of the Policies is in vested in the public securities, in the names of the Trustees, so as to he at all times available. At the last quinquennial meeting there was added a bonus to the Life Policies equal to twenty-five per cent. on the sums paid, and a bonus of five per cent. was added to the Shares in addition to the payment of the annual interest. The quinquennial meeting being only just past, a favourable opportunity now offers for the commencement of new Insu rances; parties now joining will be allowed to participate in the profits at the next division, as if they had been insured for the whole period. For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a spe.• cific sum, without a prospective bonus, a new table, at lower rates, has been calculated, on which, as well as on the partici pating scale, ONE-HALF THE PREMIUM MAY RE MAIN ON INTEREST AT FIVE PER CENT. FOR FIVE YEARS, thus enabling a person to assure his life for 1,0001. on the immediate paymentof thepremium for 5001. only.

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors have for a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases ; of the necessity of so doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact i n in vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise from certain secret praetices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, wherein affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of consumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in saying that there is no member of society by whom the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse quence of some disease, which, for want of careful investiga tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tapes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be di rec t e d and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often con cealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby tihealth and ultimately the lives of his pupil s arc sure to be com promised, unless the evil be arrested in p ro p er t i me. He will here find a clue to guide him through th e intr i cate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, g a e nd ,w t h h e u n s delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real causes of such att ac k may be, he will be enabled to cheek the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which youth is addicted; he will also he enable fl tq point nut the die. estrous consequences which are sure to folictY frOM them if not relinquished, Messrs.

PA RR'S LIFE PILL S• The balsamic and invigorating powers cf this fine her bal medicine are wonderful; a trial of a single dose will carry conviction that they are all that is necessary to invigorate the feeble, restore the invalid to health, and do good in all cases. The heads of families should always have them in the house, as they may, with the greatest confidence, be resorted to at any time, or in any case. Parr's Life Pills are now, from their many virtues, the established Family Medicine. The following wonderful cures are selected from hundreds of a similar nature:— Mr. ABRAHAM BENTON, late of Wright -street, Derby, has been for some time afflicted with a complication of the most distressing internal disorders, attended with violent cough, under which he was gradually wasting away. He had been at tended by surgeons, and had tried almost every kind of medi cine, but nothing relieved him. He still lingered on, getting every day worse, un til hi s lif e was d espaired of. The cough had become so severe that he could not get a n y rest, and the most sanguine of his friends thought he could not possibly re cover, but a• kind neighbnir, who had tested the wonderful efficacy of Parr's Life Pills, recommended him to try them, and before he had taken one small box, he was a bl e to f a ll ow his usual occupation, without feeling the slightest symptom of his former distressing malady. Gratitude induced him to request that this might be made public, for the good of his suffering fellow -creatures. Witness to the truth of this stat ement—Airs.; Cocking, Wright-street, Derby, Hull, July 6, 1841. GENTLEMEN,—I have to acknowledge with :delight, the benefit I have received from Parr's Pills, I having been af flicted for 14 or 15 years with pains in my WI , and limbs, and constant pain in my head. I applied to the first medical men in Hull, and to the various institutions of the town, and brought myself almost to poverty, but all to no purpose. At lougtll I heard of Parr's Life Pills, and after taking only two small boxes, feel grateful to be able to arid I now en,joy per feet health. 6 , ELLEN HART. " Wifilea---IVIn. Hart.

That the repeated memorials of the inhabitants of Ox ford-street, and the personal applications made from time to time by numerous deputations to the Vestry of St. Maryle bone, on the subject of Wood Paving, have been such as should induce their Representative Vestrymen, if they are dis posed to meet the wishes and welfare of their constituents, to continue and complete the Wood Paving in Oxford-street without delay. 3d. That the inhabitants of Oxford-street, who reside near the Wood Paving laid down by the Metropolitan Company, as well as those who do not possess that advantage, are unreserv edly of opinion, that this specimen has fully answered the most sanguine expectations in its favour, and that a trial of eighteen months ought to be conclusive, with the most sceptical or obtuse. 4th. That this meeting cannot comprehend upon what mode of reason, assumption of truth, or pretence of justice, their Re presentatives can first assign twelve months as a proper period in which to try the utility and durability of the Wood Paving, and now, after that Wood Paving has been adopted and paid for, and an additional period of six months has elapsed, that the Vestry can for a moment entertain a proposi tion to postpone the farther extension of the Wood Paving for a term of three years. sth. That as many of the inhabitants as can conveniently attend du form a Deputation to wait upon the Vestry, on Sa turday next, and strongly urge the propriety and necessity of forthwith taking steps for the entire paving of Oxford-street with wood. 6th. That every member "of the Vestry' be respectfully, yet urgently, requested to attend on Saturday, at the Board, and support the purport of the preceding resolutions. 7th. That the thanks of the meeting be given to the mem bers of the Vestry who have been present this evening. Bth. That the proceedings of this Meeting be advertised in all the Morning Papers. WM. UNDERWOOD, Chairman. Previously to the adjournment of the Meeting thanks were voted to the Chairman, by acclamation, for his very able and courteous conduct on this and similar occasions. FRENCH RAILWAYS. We have procured the Ministerial Report, or pream ble to the project of law, about to be presented to the French Chambers respecting railways. The document commences by a comparison, showing the inferiority of France in these great enterprises. " Belgium," it says, " has 82 leagues of railroad exe cuted and open, out of 141 leagues projected ; Eng land has 1,398 miles out of 2,187 projected ; Germany has 180 leagues out of 1,800 ; whilst France, out of 540 leagues of railway necessary, has but a few leagues, not worth noting." It is only the Royal roads and great lines of com munication that are at the charge of Government. Go vernment, therefore, need only turn its attention to the railways that are to run in the line of Royal roads, con necting north and south, east and west, the ocean and the Mediterranean. These are the great lines, and the system of the Government is limited to them, leaving all cmbranchment lines to private speculation. Paris must be the centre of the great system, which comprehends the followin g c, lines : 1. From Paris to Belgium and the Channel, by Lille or Valenciennes, Calais or Boulogne. 2. From Paris to the Mediterranean, by Lions and Marseilles. 3. Paris to the ocean, by Tours And Nantes. 4. Paris to the ocean, by Bordeaux and Bayonne. 5. Paris to the German frontier, by Strasburg. The sixth great line from Paris to Havre need not be mentioned, as a Company is already executing it.* Three of the above lines exist merely in an inchoate state, and it would be impossible to estimate their cost ; they must therefore be deferred. The Anglo-Belgian line comes first. The surveys and studies for it can be finished before the end of 1842, as they are already completed as far as Creal. It is the most important in a political and commercial sense, and therefore ought to be the first railroad un dertaken. The line from Paris to Marseilles is surveyed merely from Paris to Dijon, by Chalons-sur-Saone, and from Marseilles to the Rhone. Until the resources of the Treasury permit the execution of the whole line, these portions of it may be first executed, they moreover being connected tog e th er b y t h e steamers w hi ch gate the Rhone and S aone . The difficulty of. fi n di ng a sufficient number of skilful engineers is ?',so a reason for not commencing five great lines at bnce. Government, therefore, conticlOS its demands to credits for the following lines :- 1. For the Anglo-Belgian line s 2. For the line between Marseilles and the Rhone. 3. For the line from Paris to Chalons-sur-Saone, by Dijon. A million of francs, over and above, will be de manded, in order to compkie, before the end of 1843, the surveys of the throe other lines. The report ae::, preamble then proceeds to consider the best nao , ',, e of execution, and the legislative measures ne,CC".:try for the realiz a tio n o f th e gratu i tous cess i on et the land required. In 1837 the Government proposed to cede several railway lines to Companies. The Chamber decided that, for moral and political reasons, these great ways of communication ought not to be entrusted to private Companies. Accordingly, in 1838, the Government brought forward a vast project, by which the State was to execute the principal lines ; but the Chamber had changed its mind. As many objections were now found against the tardiness and prodigality of the Adminis tration undertaking these lines, as the year before against the insecurity of private Companies ; and the result was, the cession of two great lines to two Com panies, formed part of the financial notabilities of the ca pital. The first of these Companies was forced to abandon its task ; the second had recourse three times to the Chambers, and even when supported by the credit of the State, it has not been able to keep its shares up to par. Bearing these facts in mind, the present Minister of Public Works now proposes a mixed system, to ob viate, first, the evil of entrusting such vast operations to Companies and individuals not equal to the task ; and, secondly, the evil of overburdening the Treasury with an expenditure so much'exceeding its nominal limits. The Gov:rnment will itself undertake to execute, or get executed, the great lines, abandoning embranch ments to private industry, without now examining in what proportion private industry may be aided. The localities interested must furnish the value of the ground required. The State will execute the em bankments, excavations, works of art, bridges, stations, &c. ; and then private Companies will be called to undertake the laying down of rails and preparing the roads for the duties of public conveyance, according to a certain tariff. According to calculation, this plan will divide the expense into two equal parts, the State getting rid of one-half of it, and thus meeting the objeetion of over burdening the Treasury. Tho basis for the repartition between the depart meets of the land to be furnished, or its value, must be the length of the line. But for communes, or pa rishes, their interest in the line is to be considered ; for poor and merely agricultural localities cannot derive the same benefit from it as rich and commercial ones. The proprietors of ground are not to be treated with iso latedly. This would open the door to arbitrary deci sions. The departmental association must bargain and decide on these points. The plan of each line throughout the whole depart ment will be subjected to the procedure laid down in the law of March, 1541. A judgment of expropria tion will be demanded for the whole line, and a jury in each district convoked to fix the quota of indemnity. All cession or purchase of lands shall be effected judi cially, and some by private bargain. Mortgages are to be met in the usual way. The total of the sums awarded by the juries of each district will be levied on the whole department. The Consul-General of the department will partition out the sums between the districts, and each Consul of district between the communes or parishes. The sums will be levied on the four branches of di rect contributions. The great project of Railroads presented by the French Government in 18:38 mentioned nine great lines, of which Paris to Toulouse by Orleans was one, Bor deaux to Marseilles another.

THE DISTRESS IN SPITALFIELDS AND THE VICINITY. Wednesday a deputation from the weavers of Spital fields, Bethnal-green, and other places adjacent, ap peared at the Mansion-house, for the purpose of apply ing to the Lord Mayor for his immediate interference to procure a distribution of the funds already subscribed for the relief of the industrious unemployed poor weavers and their families, consisting (altogether) of 24,000 individuals. Alderman WILSON received the deputation in the absence of the Lord Mayor, with whom he had com municated upon the subject. One of the members of the deputation,which consisted of twelve respectable well-conducted men, stated that by the desire of the meeting which had been held at the Crown and Anchor, Waterloo Town, and at which upwards of two hundred distressed weavers were pre sent, they waited upon the Lord Mayor for the pur pose of calling his Lordship's attention to certain reso lutions which had been passed upon the subject of the ex isting distress, which was extreme, and entreating that his Lordship would exercise his great influence to alle viate it. The following are the resolutions to which they adverted That this meeting with coeirdence assert that distress aloes exist in Bethnal-green and its vicinity to an alarming extent, equal to, if not exceed ing, any former period at this time of the year. That the trade having appointed a Committee of operatives, in whom they repose unbounded confidence, to solicit gentlemen to form a local Committee for the distribu tion of the funds in the hands of the Lord Mayor, &c., and having succeeded in forming a Committee of thir teen highly respectable Gentlemen of the districts, who are well acquainted with the habits and wants of the people, this meeting, therefore, cannot but regret that several select and private meetings have been held by various parties, who have not deigned to consult, advise, or invite to their meetings, either the local Committee, or the Committee of opera tives of our trade ; and we do more especially complain of the last meeting held at the Brew house, Brick-lane, Spitalfields, an understanding being previously entered into that the operatives ought to be consulted on these occasions. That this meeting lament to hear that a Committee had been formed without receiving the sanction of a public district meet ing, which would have prevented any undue or sectarian influence being used; this meeting, therefore, authorise their Committee to endeavour to obtain the names of this self-elected Committee, and report the same at our next meeting. That the resolutions of this meeting be transmitted to It. Hanbury, Esq., and the Right Hon, the Lord Mayor, at the same time soliciting an iro .er. view with his Lordship, in the presence of 14'.. Han bury, Esq., or any part of the Committee that may b e appointed t o a tt en d." Th e d epu tatto.`a declared that since those resolutions had been pv7sed, the distress had most frightfully increased, and that if th e p u bli c bounty was no t distributed, deaths from st ar v a ti on must inevitably take place. Multitudes had been without work for weeks and months, numbers had only occa sional employment, and the manufacturers were them selves in such circumstances as not to be able to give employment to their perishing fellow -creatures, to whom one shilling of their own earnings would be sweeter and more acceptable than two collected from public charity. By and bye a thousand more weavers would be out of employment, and it was impossible to conjecture what might be the injury to which society might be subjected if the dreadful sufferings to which these destitute people were exposed were not alleviated. Here several members detailed the privations which they and their large farnil;es were undergoing, and handed a card to the Alderman, showing their mode of distribution when QP.een Adelaide stepped forward a few years ago to f _'aeir relief. Aldermen `;WILSON said that had been but a short time• r i . rie statement was made in communication with, the Lord Mayor, who felt most deeply for the multitudes who were reduced by inevitable circum stances to such a deplorable condition. His Lordship was, however, in a sort of difficulty with regard to the distribution of the funds at his disposal. Several depu tations had waited upon him from different parts, all of whom were anxious to get hold of the tnoncy, but his Lordship could not think of parting with any of the contributions without the co-operation of Mr. Han bury and the other influential friends of the poor in the extensive districts in which the distress unfortunately prevailed. He (Alderman Wilson), would read the communications with which Mr. Hanbury had favoured the Lord Mayor, and he would afterwards state to them the substance of later information which his Lord ship had received, and which no doubt would not fai to give satisfaction. " Brewery, 18th December, 1841. "My Lord,—l have the honour to enclose to your Lordship a copy of the resolutions, which were unani mously agreed to at the meeting held last evening, which was attended by about thirty of the most respect able and influential inhabitants of the district. I shall have much pleasure in waiting upon your Lordship, at any time you may appoint, except on Monday, when I am engaged to attend the consecration of the new church in Bethnal-green, which will detain me until three o'clock.--I have the honour to remain, " Your Lordship's most obedient servant, " ROBERT HANBURY." At a meeting of the under-mentioned gentlemen, re sident in and connected with the district of Spitalfields, convened to consider an application from the Lord Mayor, as to the best means of appropriating the funds now in his hands for the relief of the Spitalfields weavers, held at the brewery of Messrs. Truman, Hanbury, Bux ton, and Co., the 17th of December, 1841, Robert Hanbury, Esq., in the chair ; Also present, Messrs. bridges, C. Brall, Brushfield, Bennett ; Rev. V. K. Child, Rev. J. Coghlan, Rev. J. B. Cartwright ; Messrs. Clabon, Duthort ; Rev. John Garwood ; Messrs. Gregory, Gammon, Gold, Gilkes ; Rev. James Harris ; Messrs. Harrison, Hall, Johnston, Kemp ; Rev. Bryan King Lawson ; Messrs. Miller, Tibbatts, Tovey, Vander, Whittaker, and Rev. Mr. Woodward ; It was moved by the Rev. V. K. CHILD, seconded by It. GAMMON, Esq., and resolved unanimously—" That the gentlemen present, together with Sir Thomas F. Buxton, Bart., Edward N. Buxton, Esq., and the Rev. Mr. Lewis, be a Provisional Committee, to make such arrangements as may be necessary ; that R. Hanbury, Esq., be Chairman of the Committee, with power to nomitate other gentlemen as members, and to commu nicate with the Lord Mayor." Moved by the Rev. BRYAN KING, seconded by the Rev. JOHN GARWOOD, and carried unanimously : " That in the opinion of this Committee the existing distress amongst the silk-weavers is not so urgent as to call for an immediate distribution of the funds now in the bands of the Lord Mayor, especially as the distress may be expected to increase as the season advances. That the Chairman be empowered to call another meet ing of this Committee on receiving a requisition to that effect signed by any six of its members. That the Chairman be requested to solicit from the Spitalfields Soup Society the use of their committee-room for the purposes of this Committee." The Deputation here declared that starvation was at work. Alderman WILSON stated that on Christmas-day the Lord Mayor received the following letter, in answer to another communication on the subject from his Lord ship :7- ‘-` My Lord—l have the honour to acknowl e d ge your Lordship's note. I much regret that I have made an engagement to leave town early on Monday morning, for about ten days. A deputation of the operative weavers waited upon me on Thursday fast, and entered most fully into their grievances, and w ere very importunate in their desire that I should recom mend to your Lordship the necessity of an distribution of the funds in your Lordship's hands. I explained to them my reason for coming to 4 different .fied to conclusion, and they left me apparently more satisfi ed wait a week or two, whe❑ the distressprobably be immediate more urgent. Under all the circumstances and with w i t h inclined to think something ought to be 'cn done, Com mittee together on Friday, the your Lordship's sanction I propose ftojaa will lanow call uar . to iven instructions con sider the best means of relief.

Alderman WILSON then said that the Lord Mayor had bad on that day a communication with Mr. Miller, the Secretary, on the subject, and he was convinced from what had been stated, that immediate measures would be adopted to distribute the funds already in hand, and that a public meeting would be called in consequence of the increasing distress. The deputation THE ROYAL EXCHANGE. The Gresham Committee met on Friday last, for the purpose of receiving the Report of the Sub-Committee appointed to make the requisite arrangement for the grand ceremony of layinc , the first stone of the New Royal Exchange ; Mr. R. Lambert Jones in the Chair. We believe the foliemitig particulars to be correct : The ceremony is to take place on Monday, the 17th of January, that day having been appointed by his Royal highness Prince Albert, who, upon being ap plied to, graciously, and without hesitation, consented to lay the first stone of the building. The site appointed by the Committee is the founds. tion of one of the columns of the merchants' area on the north side of the ambulatory, the particular column being the one which is to be west of the centre opening or interval. This spot has been fixed upon, as being relatively the same as that adopted when Charles the Second laid the first stone of the old Exchange, and is, in point of fact, very near the actual site. Round the stone the architect has constructed an amphitheatre which will contain seats for 1,200 visitors. These seats will rise from a platform, 40 feet diameter, of a circular form, t , ) increase by ten concentric rows of sittingi to the diameter of 100 feet. The whole of this large space will be roofed and decorated, so as to ap pear like an enormous tent, the roof being supported by a pillar in the centre. The access to the arena will be from Cornhill, by a covered way, descending gradually from the level of the street to the level of the platform. The company are to asernble between the bu s of twelve and two. Prince Albert, it is expected, will hrrive at two o'clock, at the Guildhall, where his Royal Highness will be met by the Lord Mayor and Aldermen, and will thence proceed with the Gresham Committee in procession to at building, which he will enter at Cornhill. The Lord Mayor will give a splendid banquet in the evening, at the Mansion-house, in honour of the occa sion ; 400 cards of invitation have been already issued and there will he present, besides Prince Albert, all bet Majesty's Ministers, the Judges, Officers of State, and others. The card of admission to the ceremony of laying the first stope of the Royal Exchange, is elegant as a work of art. It contains at the head of the usual words of introduction a view of the New Exchange, suiround.ed by a bold embossed border, haling at the top tho arms of Prince Albert, Sir Thomas Gresham, and t i ae shield of the Corporation of London, and the 111err,er;' Company, Prince Albert is to use a silver gilt to be manufactu re d by Deputy nr"*.rowel, whi c h i s —,"jk, of the Poultry, and will, it is expected, be a spl and workmanship.

MURDERERS AT SHRE%VSBUy. oIiREWSBURY, DEC. 29.—The murderers were taken at Coventry on Christmas-day, and were brought into Shrewsbury yesterday evening, in a post-chaise, and lodged in the gaol. The greatest praise is eine to the county police-force, under the direction of the Deputy Chief Constable M'Michael, for their exer tions in tracing out the suspected villains. The Viscount Dungannon has been unceasing in urging a rigid investigation into all the circumstances con nected with this inhuman and bloody deed. The Magistrates of the county offered a reward of 20/. for the apprehension of the perpetrators of this atrocious murder, and, through Lord Dungannon's intercession, a further reward of 100/. was immediately offered by the Secretary of State, and strong hopes were entertained of their being soon taken, especially as they were such well. known characters. Their names, as has already been stated, are Williams and Slawson. The general opinion, both from report and a close and vigilant look out on the part of the police, led the au thorities into a belief that the fellows lay concealed either in the town or immediate neighbourhood of Wrex ham, and the efforts of the constables were directed ac cordingly, but without avail. Up to Monday no doubt was entertained as to their being still harboured about their native place, on which day a letter was received at the Chief Constable's Office, in Shrewsbury, with in formation that two men answering the description given of the suspected murderers were taken by the Coventry ponce, in which city it appears that they had offered for sale at a silversmith's 11 silver spoons, marked E. E., and he, having heard of the murder and robbery at lironygarth, gave information to the police. Mr. M•Michael left Shrewsbury on Monday in order to convey them here. The prisoners came to Wolver hampton by railway, and from thence to Atcham by the Salopian coach. At nine o'clock yesterday evening they arrived in this town, a chaise having been pre viously sent to meet them at the village of Atcham, three miles distant. John Williams is a stout young man, aged 22 years, a native of Cornwall, but has resided at Wrexham from his infancy. He had been in custody three years ago, at Rathin, under the Vagrant Act, and was in the same prison a year ago for an assault, where he under went nine months' confinement. The other prisoner, Slawson, is about 21 years of age, has rather a boyish look, and far from a ferocious appearance. When at Coventry, Williams assumed the name of Jones, and Slawson that of Halley. They reached Coventry on ' Wednesday evening, on their way from the scene of the murder. Slawson, who is a tailor : worked at his trade in that city, and earned from Wednesday to the Friday Ss. 4d. The examination took place this day in the Guildhall, before the Hon. Thos. Kenyon (Chairman of the Quarter Sessions), the H on . an d R ev . R. H. Hill, T. C. Eyton, Esq., Sir B. Leighton, Bart., H. Jus tice, Esq., E. Jeffreys, Esq., Major Bayley, and other Magistrates. The witnesses examined were T. S. M'Michael, Superintendent of the Shropshire Rural Po lice ; Thomas Henry Prosser, chief constable of Co ventry ; and Mr. Moss Fridland, watchmaker and sil versmith, of Fleet-street, in the same city, to whom the spoons were offered for sale by the prisoner Wil liams. Mr. Prosser, on searching Williams, discovered in his inner pocket in his waistcoat a half sheet of paper, with the following directions written upon it by some companion in crime :7 "You must make the best of your way through South Wales to the Bristol Channel, and cross over to Corn wall, and inquire at 'l'regonna for some of the Beares if you are lucky enough to get there." , The Court was crowded to excess, and the examina tion created the most intense interest ; but the late hour at which it concluded renders it impossible for us to send any part of it by post. Both prisoners were remanded till Friday next, when they will be committed. THEM (FromU R t ll he E li ß Torc a e t st S ci E ll y ir e E c ß ,hr N onic S ie T o OKE. The adjourned inquest on view of the body of the fated Richard Kecton, was held on Thursday, on suspi cion of murdering whom, W. Tippin (the man who was in custody) ha s b een committed on the Coroner's warrant, to take his trial. hlre only fresh circumstance of import ance which t ransp i red at the adjourned inquest was the fact th a t t wo peculiarly s ituated nails had disappeared from one o f the prisoner's bjots, but which he positively denied havin g drawn. Contrary to what has been pub licly stated, Tippin has invariably denied all knowledge of the crime, declaring again and again, that he knew n othing of poor Kenton 's death till he arose on the Sunday morn i ng . His conduct in the inquest-room was certaioly far from decorous, and his levity continued after the inquiry c losed, for on his way to Upton, the police ca rt passed an Italian carrying a board of images on his head, upo n which he burst out into a loud laugh w as serving the masons once, and a s suc h a rin f d ell s o a w id :; l that passed under me, I pitched a brick-end upon hi s board, and broke half of them !" Being re monstrated with upon his ill-timed merriment, he be came mo re quiet during the rest of his journey. H e remained at Upton till about three o'clock on Friday, s hortly before which time Superintendent Craig re ceived a warrant (which he had been anxiously expecting) directing his removal to the county gaol. After receiving this authority, the Superin tendent lost no time in starting with his prisoner, and as several policemen were in attendance, the order of the town was not in the least disturbed on removal from the lock-up. Before Tippin left Upton he conferred with a gentleman of the legal profession, with a view of preparing for his defence. Since he has been in the county gaol his conduct has been very be coming, but so far from admitting his guilt, or any par ticipation in the crime with which he is charged, he strenuously asserts his innocence. Stanton, Powell, and Andrews, the other men in custody, were liberated. A new system of paving has been invented by M. Palonceau, and will no doubt be tried in Paris. It consists of a kind of artificial stone formed of clay, sand, cement, and pulverised charcoal. This mixtur e is baked, and forms an exceedingly hard substance with a rough surface ; and the stones are so formed, as not only to be placed with symmetrical order, but also to give a hold to the feet of horses. HAMILTON.—Some influential persons in Ha milton and the neighbourhood have subscribed to build an Episcopal chapel in that town. We have been in formed that all the requisite arrangements have been made for carrying the views of the subscribers into effect. This is one effect of the conduct of the rebellious ma jority of the General Assembly. Many of those now friendly to the scheme never dreamed of espousing Epis copacy, till they have been driven in disgust from the Church of their fathers. Who would have believed, some years ago, that " Black Prelacy" was about to be established within sight of Bothwell Brig ?—Scotsman. PRINCE ALBERT'S HORSE—BRUSH, NEW INVENTION.
