MEMORANDA OF A MUSICIAN. BY GEOitGE J. 0. ALLMANN. Notes, notes, forsooth, and noting!" SIIAKSPERE. No. :CAL G lACOMO BATTISTA LULLI. When lying on the bed of death, his confessor would not grant him absol u ti on i n ertremis unless he consented to commit to the flames his last opera, Achille et Polixene, as - the only method of rescu i ng Li m f rom eterna l per dition. With !miry heart-drawn sighs—for the soul of - the expiring musician clung forcibly to a work from which he hid expected to t h rive both fame and emolu ment, and which not without severe struggles it could be induced to immolate—Lulli at last g,..ve the required acquieeeence, at the same time poiuzirg with his finger to an escrutoire in which his cherished manuscript was deposited. The confessor with eager hands cast it into the jaws of the devouring element, and with a satisfac tion he took no care to conceal, watched its destruction till the whole mass was reduced to cinders. He then performed his promise, and after shriving the composer, left him. But strange to relate, Lulli grew better, and was soon thought to be out of danger. One day he was honoured by a visit from one of the royal children of Louis the Fourteenth. "Is it really true," he inquired of Lulli, " that you have thrown your opera into the fire?" The composer replied affirmatively. " How foolish of you," rejoined the Prince, "to believe' so blindly the protestations of a false-hearted Jesuit, and at the same time to destroy such music!" "Hash, hush!" added Lulli in a solemn whisper, looking round the apartment anxiously, as if he expected to meet the con demning glance of his father confessor, and yet with a kind of cunning chuckle at having overreached him— " Hush, hush! I knew what I was about, I have another copy of it beneath my pillow !" Unfortunately Lulli suffered a relapse, and with the prospect of immediate dissolution before his eyes he became truly penitent for the duplicity of which he bad been guilty, and into such an extremity of alarm and remorse did its remembrance lead him, that he submitted to be laid on a bed of ashes, with a cord round his neck, and in this penitent situation openly acknowledged a deep sense of his recent trans gression. After this the perturbation of his soul de creased, and he became resigned to his approaching end. When he felt his last moment was near he began sing ing in a weak voice a hymn, and expired as his lips uttered the solemn and emphatic words, " faut mourir, relcheur, f a ut mourir! ' The cause of his -death was m ortification, the result of an accident by which he injured his foot severely while beating time to aTe Deum (1687). Madame de Sevigre, in a leter of • the 6th May, 1672, in which she gives an account of the funeral ceremony of Chancellor Sepier, thus writes concerning Lulli:—" As for his genius it is a thing which canna be expressed. In the music we had yes terday at the Royal Chapel Baptiste outdid himself. His beautiful miscrere was added on this occasion. We had also a libera, at hearing which all eyes were in tears." Sauteuil composed the epitaph on his magnid cent monument in the Church of Petits re:es, where -Lulli expressed a desire to be interred. This epitaph consisted of six Latin verses, the substance of which, when translated, expressed— "0 Death, know we that thou watt blind! but in striking Lulli bast thou convinced us that thou art deaf also." CORELLI Was performing some of his compositions before a select party, who had been invited by his patron-Cardinal for the expres3 purpose of hearing the renowned musician. This party consisted of some of the most distinguished patricians of Rome, and Oozelli observing, while playing the most beautiful movement of one of his sonatas, that the Cardinal was engaged in earnest conversation with them, suddenly ceas e d and quietly laid down his instru ment. This unexpected cessation surprising his patron, the latter inquired if a string were broken, to which Cloreili, with an honest opinion of the respect due to his in:ptie, replied firmly yet respectfully, " No, your Eminence, I WWI only fearful I interrupted matters of impottance!" With a consciousness that genius could now slispley itself advantave.uusly unless properly esti inated;. the Cardinal bore this gcrit:e rebuke in a manner worthy of. admiration, and immediately broke off the conversation to listen attentively while Coreili performed the whole sonata over again. JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH. Frederick the Great was an ardent admirer of music, and a profound worshipper of the genius of the Great Fuguist, whom he had invited to visit him at Potsdam. Of this invitation Bach did not immediately avail him self, but one evening., just when the King had taken his flute in hand for the purpose, as was his custom, of join ing in the practice of orchestral music, he received the. agreeable news that the learned musician had arrived. He r)se immediately. " Gentlemen," said he, " old Bach is cone, I will sea him at once, even in his travel ling dress." Bach was at this time sixty-two years of age (1747). He died three years afterwards, leaving a name behind him that the World—forgefful, selfish as it is—will not willingly let die. SOUNDS I.IIITATED BY LANGUAGE. The cry of the cuckoo has been peculiarly and feli citously imitated in the language of different nations by the names with which they distinguish that bird. For instance, tha Greeks call it Koxxu ; in the Latin it is (renominated cuculus, which in the Italian is moiified into cucolo. In the German it is called kukuk, which, as well as the French coueou, the English cuckoo, and the Greek which I have before given, is singularly illustra tive of the bird's notes. In the Sclavonic, however, it is called kukaliza, in the Polish kukulha, and in the Russian kukutka. But these latter languages possess several names for the bird, the former kukoviza, the latter kukuva.sca. The Danes and Swedes call it goeck, which is ill-expressive and very unfelicitous. WEBER Was one day invited to a dinner party by a well•known London music publisher, who had reaped a little profit by the publication of his Oberon, and whose residence and egtablishment were on the most- splendid scale. On entering the gorgeously furnished drawing-room our modest German opened his eyes to their fullest extent, and looking round, sighed softly, at the same time saying to himself, " Ah! I perceive it is better to sell than to write music!" NATIONAL AIRS. Dibdin (the Bibliographer) when on a visit to M. Bree (printer to the King of France), at Valaise, was struck by the inscription of " God save the King" upon the walls of the workshop, and commended it heartily with all the loyal enthusiasm of a John Bull. " Vrai ment, .Monsieur," exclaimed an intelligent looking com positor, " if you would only honour us by singing the air to which these words are ser, we should ail be infinitely obliged to you." Mr. Dibdin amused at the request, re plied, " With all my heart, but I must frankly inform you, that as I am neither a vocal nor instrumental per former I shall sing. it more with heart and intention than with voice or skill." "No matter! let us hear only a portion of it." " They all gathered round in a circle," writes Mr. Dibdin, " while I got through two stanzas as hastily and as efficiently as I was able. The usual Charmant !—tres jolie,' rewarded my exertions, while I could scarcely retrain from laughter even in the midst of the impressively latiomed cadenzas of the tune. It was now my turn to require a favour—` Sing me your favourite air of Robert et 'ladle ' Most willingly, Monsieur I' replied the afore mentioned intelligent-look ing compositor, Tenez un petit moment je vous chercher 11204 violon, ca va raieur.' On his return the ballad was chaur.ted in full chorus. The tune was both agreeable and lively, and upon the whole it Wdi difficult to say which seemed to be the batter pleased with the respec tive national airs." ROUSSEAU Was at one time, as is well known, private secretary to the f . nsotis Montaigne. After a lung absence from Paris, the latter, one evening, went to the opera, where ho was enthusiastically delighted by the performance of Le Devin du Village. " Who is the author of this charming opera?" he inquired, his count:mai:ea visibly exOressing unwonted excitement. "You shou'el know por:ectly well," was the reply. "It is Rousseau, your old secretary. He has both written the words and com posed the music !" " What he?" rejoined Montaigne, lost in astonishment, "that idiot has he done that?" When the Genevese Poet-Philosopher and Musician heard of this be smiled, inwardly gratified by this un mistakeehle proof of his former employer's appreciation of his work. " Music," said he to himself in his usually abstracted, pre-occupied manner, " is immortal, so at least the Ancients tell us—but will mine be?" ar.d he sighed to himself—Gentle-hearted Philosopher! perhaps, thine heart echoed back the reply that, even should thy music perish and be forgotten a'ter the lapse of years, yet would it be perpetuated in the works of those who succeed thee—by pupils—friends—admirers, perhaps— and the thoughts over which thou hadit deemed Oblivion had east her pall—would, by a mind affinitive to what thine Wll3, be procreated substantially once more, even though a thousand years or more may have changed the surfite of the earth and the habits, instincts, and intellects of man. So true is it that, like Beauty, Music has ementially and spiritually, an Immortality, which she shares with her sister Poesy and with her alone! Would that from thee and thy myriad strings I could awake a chord that should like "a thing of beauty" be " a joy for ever," when I sing this truth— Flowerets, when their bloom is fled, Yet have lingering fragrance left: Music—when the Loved One's dead Is not of all charm bereft: So, when hearts lie cold and chill, And the psssing breath doth flee., - ss e The Spirit's Essence liveth still In the faithful Memory! _ For to Beauty do pertain Gifts of Immortality: Though ye seek its form in vain; Though the germ awhile may die! From tee cerement it springs Bright, regenerate, anal free; And in a thcuaand lovely things Still lives in the Memory! G. J. 0. A. A HINT. The following epigrammatic cetairsin is charmingly iteropos of the miserable discords which occur so often in some of our institutions whose professed object is harmony. It was written anonymously some veers ago et Psri3 by a wag, svh? succeeded in throwing ridicule and contempt on certain professors o f t h e C onservatoire de Musique, whose violent cetarrels and patty dissensions rendered it, at one time. more than probable that the inetitntion could not be carried on.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. _ _ _ SIR,—As London during the present month is full of country visitor:, the following sketch of London, ancient and modern, may not be altogether unacceptable. There are many histories and descriptions of London published, but I do not remember any that have appeared in the small space of the columns of a newspaper. To some of your constant readers it may also convey information. LONDON IN ANCIENT TIMES. _ _ Where London now stands, some sixteen cr eiph:een centuries back stood an immense forest, extending from the Thames on the one side, to Epping and Hainault on the other. As far back as one thousand years—at which period the several Saxon kingdoms le came amalgamated under Egbert, the first king of all England—London rose into importance as its capital. It was enclosed by walls, defended by strong bastions, and prepared for defence against Northern and other marauders. About this period the Thames extended over the low lands as far as Battle-bridge, passing between Hol born-hill and Snow-hill. Another part of it ran between and through, where now stands Bishopsgate, Moorgate, Walbrook, and Dowgate, over which were many wooden bridges. The gates of London, were ten in number, and were called Aldersgate, Aldgate, Bridge-gate, Bishopsgate, Cripplegate, Dowgate, Ludgate, Moorgate, Newgate, and the Postern-gate (Tower-hill). There were also five watch-towers, serving as gates. From the earliest times London has suffered greatly both by fire and pestilence. In 760, 765, and 793, it was nearly destroyed by fire. In 1563 twenty thousand persons were carried off by the plague ; in 1610 forty thousand persons ; and in 1665 no less than eighty thou sand persons fell victims to this visitation. Immediately after occurred (in 1666) the Great Fire of London, de stroying nearly threefourths of the city, and property to the amount of ten millions sterling. London has also at times suffered from insurrections and commotions within its walls; in the reign of Richard 11. by Wat Tyler; in the reign of Henry VI. by Jack Cade, and in Charles ,the First's time betwe e n hi m an d his Parliament, &c. &c. It also, in 1703, was visited by a storm, which blew down two thousand chimneys, stripped the lead off several churches, killed thirty or forty persons, sank four hundred vessels in the Thames, and caused a loss of 2,000,0001. Three hundred years ago, London was neither paved nor: lighted, excepting a few lanterns suspended, aslin some parts of Paris, across the road. " East Smithfield was open to Tower- hill, Moorfields was open to the small village of Hoxton, and Finsbury- fields were covered with windmills. St. Giles's was in the fields, and the Strand had gardens on each side. Covent garden was really a garden of a convent. Westminster was a very small town; Southwark only a: few streets, (dull, dirty, and cheerless), and Lambeth a little village near the Thames." Still in those days London could muster a large army, and had afforded considerable assistance to the different Sovereigns of England. And this was London in the Olden Time. LONDON IN MODERN TIMES. The improvements of London began in the reign of George IL L-:quares were made, streets formed, churches erected, Westminster-bridge built, the houses on London bridge pulled down, and most of the City gates removed. And now, in 1849, London is the richest and most famed capital in Europe—the seat of the most powerful empire in the world. Within this capital, covering a space of comparatively small dimensions, stand the city of London, possessing a revenue that would purchase not a few of the continental kingdoms, whose population is less in the present day by many thousands than it was one hundred years ago. The City of London contains the Bank of England, the Mansion House, the Royal Exchange, the Guildhall, where the Cemmon Council meet; the Post Office, 390 feet in length; St. Peul's Cathedral (hose history were worthy of a space here, were room allowed. It has been three timed destroyed by fire, the last time in 1666. It took 40 years building; it is 514 feet in length, 286 in breadth, and 370 in height. It cost a million and a hilt of money—an immense suns in those days); St. Bar - tholumew's Hospital, and many beautiful churches and halls of - the Livery. On the banks of the Thames, in the eastern part of London, may be seen a mass of buildings called the Docks, containing the goods of all nations, and food from all parts. A few particulars will show the immensity of England's commerce:— The St. Katherine's Docks cover a space of 24 acres, of which 12 acres form the wet docks ; cost building, &c., 1,700,000/.; accommodate annually 1,300 merchant vessele. The London Docks can accommodate at one time 200 merchant vessels; it is 29 feet deep; its wine cellars ex tend in one direction 1,700 yards; and its diverging lines, called trams, would reach in one direction about 29 miles. There is generally in bond about six millions of gallons of wine, ten millions of pounds of pepper, &c.; of to bacco twenty-four millions of pounds, the duty on which alone would be something near 2,000,000 sterling. The East India Dock (import and expert) covers 31 acres of land. The docks are the warehouses of the East India Company. There is seldom lesi than 24,000,0001b5. of tea in bond here, the value of which is about five millions sterling. London contains a population of 2,000,000 souls, whose habitations extend over a apace of thirty-five square miles, which pays a rental of 8,000,0001. annu ally. There are 279,000 houses, and 14.000 streets, lanes, &c. London pays about one-third of the window tax of all England. The buildings of London are ra pidly increasing. There are 5,000 vessels, and 4,000 boats on the Thames, employing 8,000 watermen and 4,000 labourers; 20,000 vessels arrive and depart from the port of London in the year. The Thames runs through London, which connects itself by the following bridges:— New London Bridge, opened 1831. Length 950 feet. Southwark Bridge, opened in 1819. Length of span of centre arch 240 feet, contains 5,308 tons of iron. Cost 800,0002 Blackfriars Bridge, opened in 1769. Length 940 feet. Cost 260,0001. Waterloo Bridge, opened in 1817. Length, from the first arch in the Strand to the last on the Surrey side, 2,456 feet. Charing Cross (Suspension) Bridge cost 106,0001. Westminster Bridge. Length 1,223 feet. Costs con tinuous from its opening to the present day, always being , repaired. Vauxhall Bridge, opened in 1816. Cost 50,0001. There is also a passage under the Thames, called The Thames Tunnel, opened in 1843. London, which has almost, with its 14,000 streets, be come as it were one vast brick-field, has still left to it 1. St. James's Park, possessing. fine " promenades, serpentine walks, parterres,andshrubberies. with a large and beautiful piece of water in the centre." 2. The Green Park, connecting St. James's Park with Hyth Park Corner. 3. Hyde Park, presenting "beautiful and diversified prospects; has a ruad through it to Kensington, cslled Rotten-row; much visited on a fine Sunday afternoon. The Serpentine enriches the scenery of this park." 4. Kensington Gardens are about three miles in cir cumerence, and are beautifully laid out. The late Duke of Sussex had a palace here. 5. Regent's Park lies between the New-road and Hampstead. On one side is the Z)ol , gical garden. The park has 450 acres laid uut in the moat beautiful and romantic scenery. 6. Victoria Park, situate near the eastern end of Hackney and Bow. It is larger than St. James's-park. A great of 100,0001. was made for that purpose a few years back. Interspersed among its tuildings are 400 churches, 380 dissenting chapels, 23 foreign chapels, 250 public school 4, 1,500 private schools, 12 prisons, 8 police-offices, 18 theatres, 300 hotels, 4,900 public-houses, 1,000 beer shops, 2,800 coffse• shops, &c. &c. London consumes annually -200,000 bullocks 12,000,000 quarters of wheat 770,000 sheep 3,000,000 bushels of flour 260,000 lambs 11,000,000 gallons of milk 255,000 ealvss 2,000,000 gallons of spirits 274,000 pigs 2,000,000 barrels of ale and 200,000 tons of Ssh porter 12,000 tons of buster 70,000 pipes of wines. 13,000 tons of cheese The quantity of tea, sugar, cocoa, and coffee not known. And these are only a part of the food, &c., consumed in London annually, as may be imagined from the fact that in food alone upwards of seventy millions sterling is expended—the article of sugar causing an outlay of nearly one million sterling; while tea, tobacco, rum, brandy, &e., are also in great request. The merchandise of London is annually valued at 200,000,0001, The traffic, by goods and passengers, on one London railway is 40,0001. per week. The estimated capital of another London railway is 13,000,000 L Facts which no other spot on the earth could boast of, or even imagine. Some idea may be formed of London by a glance at the following list of the numbers of workmen in some of the London trades. The number of policemen, postmen, &c., need not be alluded to, as they do not come under the bead of The Producers of Wealth. 16,000 shoemakers 14,000 tailors 13,000 carpenters 6,800 bricklayers 4,300 butchers 5,400 cabinetmakers 5,000 painters 3,000 hatters 3,000 whitesmiths 3,700 compositors 1,200 tinmen 1,400 milkmen 2,100 coopers 6,000 bakers 3,000 brushmakers 2,600 watchmakers 6,000 engineers I,ooo.tobacconists 1,400 dyers 1,000 fishmongers 2,000 cabmen, &c. 2,300 coachmakers 2,000 grooers 800 pressmen, &c. It is calculated that on any fast-day or other cessation from work, for one day only, tho capitalists of London lose twenty thousand pounds. As it would occupy many weeks to visit all that is in teresting, instructive, amusing, or astonishing in L')n don, a selection here may be found useful.

And amidst this vast busy hive of human beings, so well stored with all that makes England a great nation, the Press—that has given "light and life to charity " that has " taught the senator wisdom," and the monarch on the throne to wield the sceptre in mercy, truth, and justice—that has conveyed the tale of woe from the poor's man's cot to the abodes of royalty and the mansions of the great—the Press of London stands proudly pre eminent.

The anniversary of this society was celebrated on Monday by a public dinner, given at the London Ta vern, the proprietors of which, Messrs. Bathe and Breach, fully preserved their usual character in providing a ban quet remarkable for elegance and profusion. There was on the present occasion, not only a very large atten dance, but one exceedingly select. Amongst the two hundred present we observed the following:—His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, the chairman ; his Excellency the Count Kielmansegge, the most Hon. the Marquis of Westminster, the Baron Rehausen, the Count Hardenberg, the Chevalier Tottie, the Consul-General May. the Consul-General Zohrab, and the Reverend Dr. Kuper. [Weave requested to state that the Chevalier Bunsen and his Excellency the Turkish Ambassador, who had signified their intention of being present, were unavoid ably absent.] On the cloth being removed, His Royal Highness the CHAIRMAN gave—" The health of her Majesty and Prince Albert, and mentioned that her Majesty had given in a donation of 1001. to the institution. • The toast having been enthusiastically received, His Royal Highness the CHAIRMAN proposed the toast, " The Q seen Dowager." This sentiment having been duly acknowledged, His Royal, frhomaEss proposed "his Majesty the King of Hanover, the Prince of Wales, and the other members of the Royal'Family." The toast was drunk with all the honours. The next toasts which the Royal Chairman gave were "The Foreign Sovereigns who are Patrons of the So ciety" and " the Army and Navy." The Marquis of WESTMINSTER rose to propose a toast which he was sure would meet with universal accepta tion—namely the health of their illustrious chairman.— (Loud applause.) He knew that the toast would be well received, but before he proposed it he would beg leave to trespass on the attention of the meeting for a few mo ments, because he was unwilling to let pass the present occasion without offering a few words as to the objects of the society—the cause of which they had met to advocate and to forward.—(Hear, hear.) Englishmen were justly proud of their charities, extending as they did to provide for distress in all its shapes—they were proud, and justly, of those great charitable institutions with which this country abounded. But of the many societies to which the country afforded its fostering care, the society the cause of which they were met to ad vocate presented paramount claims.—(Hear, hear.) It was a society which embraced the inhabitants of every nation, totally irrespective of creed or sects.--- (Hear, hear.) He would ask those who had travelled abroad, and had experienced the warm reception of the south, or the open hospitality of the north, whether their hearts did not expand with delight at the idea of being able to afford a something more than hospitality to those who came as strangers to this country?—(Loud ap plause.) Looking to the occurrent s which had taken place in the states and the principalities of Europe— looking at the convulsions which had shaken other na tions, from which not only the highest but the lowest suffered, when individuals were cast from their homes and thrown in a state of destitution on the world, it would be seen what the society was able to accomplish. It gave assistance to those who were in need, but, by a wise regulation, it afforded none to those who were not twelve months resident in the country.—(H ar, hear.) He would now turn to the more :grateful part of his duty, in olferlng his deep and sincere feeling of respect, not only to the family from which his Royal Highness sprung—(Cheers)—but to his Roy al IliAliness perso nally.—(Applause.) He would ask what part of England —what part of the empire could not bear testimony to his Royal Highness's unbounded liberality, and to his unbounded personal exertions in the cause of charity? He begged in conclusion to give " His Royal Highness the Due of Cambridge." The toast having been most enthusiastically received, His Royal Highness the CHAIRMAN briefly returned thanks, mentioning that he had taken the chair eleven times on the occasion of the festivals, and would have done so twelve times, only that he was prevented from doing so by indisposition. He hoped that he would fill the post as long as Providence permitted him to do so, and that in his retirement it would be occupied by his son, Prince George of Cambridge.—(Loud applause.)

Two seamen applied to Mr. Alderman Salomons for advice as t) the course it would be most advisable that theyishould pursue, in consequence of the refusal of their captain to sur ply them with the means of supporting their wives wed families out of the wages due to them. The applicants stated that they had entered into an engagement with the captain of a collier, now lying below Blackwell, at 31. ss. a man, to work the vessel by the run, and that they had been already a month in that spot, and were still without the chance of advancing into the Pool, so as to be under obligation to sell and dis charge the cargo according to the regulations of the Court of Aldermen. Under these circumstances they and two ether men, who constituted the whole of the crew, had applied to the captain for their wages, in order to keep their wives and children from the union, to which they did not desire to be under any kind of obli gation, but that no attention was paid to their request. Alderman SALOMONS expressed the greatest willing ness to render service to the seamen by his interposition, but the juri , diction of the City magistrates did not. ex• tend to the place in which the vessel lay. He wished to know why the captain remained so long a time in the river? The man said he was waiting for a higher price for coals than could at the present moment be got for them, and he therefore lingered in his present station, know ing that if once within the port the cargo must of neces sity be discharged. When they expostulated with him upon the condition to which their families were reduced, he gave them the uncomfortable assurance that he might not be able to return for a month or two to the place in which they had entered into the contract to work the vessel, so that starvation would probably stare those who were dear to them in the face before they should have it in their power, without the aid of the City authorities, to supply them with the necessa ries of life. Alderman SALOMONS —Your case is indeed a very hard one, but it is not without a remedy, although it is not in my power to administer it. I have no doubt the Thames police magistrates will interfere upon your ap plication to them fora summons to the captain for having refused to pay you your wages, and I hope that, for the sake of po.r seamen who may be subjected to such treatment, public notice may be taken of your reasonable complaint. Williczna Prior was brought up, charge 3 with having in his possession five papers of foreign tobacco, upon which duty had not been paid. The inspector of the Thames police saw the defendant in a skiff leaving a steamer, and suspecting that a little contraband practice was go i ng on , he hoared him, and asked him whether he had not something in his posses sion which ho ought not to have. He denied that he had; but the calves of his legs, which turned out to be made of tobacco, betrayed him, and defects in other parts of his person were found to be filled up with the same sort of stuffing. Alderman SALOMONS —What defence have you to make, prisoner? Prisoner—The want of bread made me do it. Alderman SALOMONS (to the inspector)—Was the steam vessel from which you saw the defendant erme seere,hed when you took him into custody?—The in spector replied in the negative. It was not the practice to search the steam-vessels from which contraband goods were carried until a report was made at the Cus tom-house. Alderman SALOMONS —The search may then be too late. Yetm ought to seek out the more criminal parties who employ poor fellows in thisinjurious traffic. In my opinion such employers stand in the situation in which receivers stand with regard to thieves, and deserve to be much more severely punished. The inspector said there were great difficulties in the way of detecting those who employed men like the de fendant. It was a principle with the smuggler who was detected in the act not to say a word calculated to in volve those who employed him in the penalties. Alderman SALOMONS —I am satisfied that a more strict and vigilant course would prove fatal to the inte rests of the more culpable parties concerned in transac tions of this kind. To wait until the steamer is reported at the Custom-house is to give those on board who may have a plentiful supply of smuggled goods an opportunity of getting rid of them. Why not proceed to search the steamer at once? The inspetor repeated that the orders un ler which he act‘d did not contain any regulation of thl kine. He was sure, however, that is soon as he should make the report of what had taken place, an order would be issued fur the search. Alderman 6ALomows—lf we, as magistrates, did not use greater promptitude ai to the receiving of stolen goods than the Custom-house authorities in the detection of stneggling,s, there would be very little chance of resti tution. I flue the defendant 403. for this offence, or fourteen days' imprisonment; bat I shoal I much rather punish those who pay him for the hazard he runs in their service. GUILDHALL. Mr. Stock, a butcher, residing at Rochibrd, in Essex, was summoned before Mr. Alderman Carden, for having sent up the carcase of a sheep for sale, the same being unfit for human food. Mr. Fisher, inspector of markets for the city of Lon don, said that on Tuesday, the 221 of May, he was passing the shop of Mr. Hammund, a meat-salesman, , . . .. in Warwick-lane, Newgate-street, when he observed the carcaso of a sheep hanging up, which ho examined, and found to be unlit for human food. lie called the atten- tion of Mr. Hammond to the subject, and seizA it, when, on boiug brought to this court, the Alderman sitting condemned it, and directed a summons to be taken out against the party who sent it up to Lindon for sale. Mr. Hammond at once gave the name of the party, and he was summoned accordingly. Altkrman CARDER said ho remembered the case, as he was sitting at the time, and he directed the summons to be granted. He should like to know what Mr. Stock bad to say.. Mr. Stock said that he certainly sent the sheep up to Mr. Hammond for ssle., but it was not unfit for hum= food. It was what was galled a "cast sheep." I should have no objection to eat it myself. Alderman CARDEN—You look as if you lived on bet ter feoi yourself than "cast sheep." Mr. Stock—lt was not my property. Mr. Miller remarked that with respect to its not be ing Mr. Stock's carcase, it was the custom of the bailiffs or shepherds, when they found a sheep which was dead, to send it to a butcher, for the purpose of having it dressed, and that individual forwarded it to London, to t Ace whatever could be gut, running the chance of its being discovered to be bad, and so condemned. Mr. Hammond was sworn, and said he did not see the sheep until his attention was called to it by Mr. Fisher. It would not have bean considered bad meat by those who were not judges. Alderman CARDEN—I thought as much, and I want to protect the public who may not be good judges. Mr. Hammond—The fact is, the sheep, as I am in formed, felt in a rut, and, being fat, turned on its back and could not get up again. It was discovered by the shepherd before it was dead, w'no had its throat cut, after which it was dressed and sent to me for sale. There was no doubt that the animal scarified his back during his struggles to get up, but beyond that the car case was good. Alderman CARDEN asked Mr. Fisher if he thought the sheep had been killed or died?—Mr. Fisher replied, that it had died, and A% been killed. In all cases where sheep died the fat round the kidneys turced green, and the carcases xver.. sent an v , ithout that fat, which was the , 31.5: - 1 in the pre3eut lie c::ra.sidered the whole of it unfit ter hurnan fo d. Mr. Hammond acid that if the bruised parts of the back had been roll:ore:1, and the rest cut up in joints, it would have been good. ALlertnan CARDEN—I , :d2ed! then why was that not done at ltochtord? Mr. Hammond—Because he would not find a customer for damaged meat. Alderman CARDEN—Then you have customers here for such descriptions of food? Mr. FLlrs r—Yes, there are plenty of parsons who come to purchase damaged meat. Alderman CARDEN—Mr. Hammond, what did you expct to get for the sheep? Mr. Hammond—lt would °ivy fetch about Bs. or 9s. Mclennan CARDEN—And what would it have brought if good, Mr. Fisher ? Mr. Fisher--Had it been sornd it would have sold for about 11. 10s. No respectable butcher would have such meat hanging iu his shop. Alderman CARDEN said that the quantity of bad meat sent up to London for consumption was enormous. It was sold to the poor, and thus, to a certain extent, en gelid( red disease amongst them. He was determined to protect them, as far as lay in his power, and thinking the present ease an aggravated one, he should hold the defendant to bail to appear at the sessions, and should likewise instruct the City Solicitor to prosecute, for it was necessary that, to put a stop to such a system, a few examples should be made. With respect to Mr. Ham mond, he had rendered himself liable to a fine not ex ceeding 201., for the exposure to sale; but he should look over it this time, as it was the act of one of his servants, although he was liable for their acts. Mr. Stock then entered into the required recogni zances, and all parties left the court. (Hitherto the fines upon conviction have b:en between 301. or 40/., independent of law costs, &c.) LAMBETH. After the night charges, which were rather numerous, had been disposed of, two men, named &merlon and Knightley, labourers, were placed at the bar before the Hon. G. C. Norton, on a charge of having caused the death of William Nutt, also a labouring man, agtd 32 years. Police-constable Ratcliff, 65 P, deposed that, having been informed on the preceding evening that William Nutt had died in Guy's Hospital, in consequecce of al injury he received on Sunday evening, he went in search of and ultimately apprehended the prisoner Somerton. It was his (witness's) intention also to have taken the prisoner Knightley, but that person caw to the station house and delivered himself up, saying he was ',willing to abide any charge that might be preferred against him. From information which he (Ratcliff) had since gleaaed, it appeared that on Sunday evening last the prisoners, the drceaaad, and others had assembled in Edward-street, Camberwell, and neither having any money to spend in a public-house or beer-shop, they, in order to beguile the time, commenced the game of "leap-frog," and a good deal of what was called " lathing" took place. In the course of the game Knightley pushed the deceased, and the latter fdl over Somerton, who was in a stooping position at the time. The deceased fell upon his head with some _force, and, raising himself slightly from the ground, he exclaimed, " For God's sake go and fetch me a doctor; I'm dying." Those around him thought he was merely seized with fits, which he had been subject to; but observing that he was not able to move, they carried him to Guy's Hospital, when, upon examination, it was found that he had re ceived a severe injury of the spin e . E veryt hi ng t h at medical skill co u ld suggest was done to relieve him, hut all without eff‘2ct, aril he sank under the injury, and died about noon on Monday. Ratcliff added, that from all he could learn, there did not appear to have been any animosity or bad feeling existing between the parties, and the unfortunate anir, from all he could learn, had occurred without any intention to injure. The prisoners saiall the statement of the officer was per fectly correct. They hzd not the least intention to in jure the deceased, and they were truly sorry for what had happened. "They were remanded till the following (this) day, to know the result of the coroner's inquiry. TVORSIIIP-STREET. Eliza Schulenberger, a neatly-attired and rather good lookieg young woman, was pl. , ced at the bar heforo Mr. Ilammill, charged with havieg administered repeated doses of poison to her husband, Philip Sehulenberger, n master cabinet. maker in Austin-street, Bethnal-green, with intent to murder him. The prosecutor, a middle-aged German, whose face and person presented a very emaciated appearance, stated that he had bean married about four years to the pri soner, by whom he had had one child, and with whom he had lived upon most affectionate terms until about two 3 ears since, when a marked alteration took place in her habits and demeanour, and she commenced absenting herself from home at repeated intervals, and entirely , neglected her domestic duties. In spite of his remon strances she persisted in the same course of conduct until about six months ago, when his health, which had been previously good, becaine ste'denly and seriously im paired, and he experienced the most excruciating internal pains, accompanied by frequent sickness and it scorching sensation in his throat and chest. These symptoms became gradually more aggravated, par ticularly after having partaken of meals pre pared by the prisoner, until at length the whole of Isis hair fell off his head, and he was affected with con stant nausea, which was followed by a repeated discharge of blood from the stomach. Ile had for a longtime sus pected that his illness had been occasioned by some thing of a deleterious character being administered to him by his wife, who was in the habit of constantly pouring out his tea before he sat down to table; but about three weeks since, in order to satisfy his suspi cions, he entered the room unexpectedly while she was preparing the meal, when she hastily removed the cup intended for his use to that Tart of the table where she was seated. Witness immediately examined the cup, and finding that it contained so me w hi te pow d er, par tially dissoved in a small quantity of tea, he applied part of the contents with the tip of his finger to his tongue, on which it left a strong acid flavour, and produced the same sickening sensation that he had so often before experienced after his meals. On communicating this discovery to the prisoner, and intimating his suspicions of her conduct, she carelessly replied, that if he had found anything in the cup, it must have been placed there by the child ; but he told her that that was impossible, as he had seen her take the cup from a shelf which the child could not reach, as it was only two years old. On the followirg morning, during the absence of the prisoner, he made a minute search in the bedroom, and at length discovered, concealed between two boxes, a packet containing some white powder of the same appearance and taste as that he had found in the teacup. Tue prisoner short!) , after returned, and upon showing her the powder, and in quiring what it was, she said th a t i t was only salts of prune..ila, and urged him to throw it in the tire. He re. tained possession of it, however, until the following day, when he proceeded with it, accompanied by his brother, to the residence of Dr. Ryan, a physician and operative chemist, who pronounced, upon examination, that it was almost entirely composed of arsenic. Upon re turning home with his brother the latter upbraided the prisoner with her fl.grant conduct in attempting to poison her husband, to which she mare no reply at the time ; but as soon as h's brother had left she became greatly agitated, and sa id, " Y ou are not dead yet, although it is true I have given you poison, end God forgive me for it." Oa the same evening her father carted to visit them, and the monamt he en• tered the room the prisoner hastened towards him, and exclaimed, " They've found me out, and got it all clear against me; for God's sake take me under your protection." Witness then apprised her father of her conduct t swards him, intimating the dis covery he had made, that she had been a long time poisoning hire by inches, and that he was at that me meat in such a state of torture that ho was scarcely able either to speak or Stand; but the father expressed his incredulity, and conveyed her away to his own residence. Witness and his brother then proceeded to make a veered search, and, at the back of a drawer used h ey the prisoner, in the bedroom, they found a quantity of loose powder of the same description—a further portion of which had apparently been mixed with some oatmeal, with which his gruel was generally made, and which was kept in a crockery image upon the maetelpiece. These, together with a packet of dark-cokured powder, discovered upon a shelf in the kitchen, had also been submitted to Dr. Ryan for analyzation. The prosecutor added, that at the commencement of his illness, when he complained to her of the dreadful pain he was suffering, the prisoner, without expressing the slightest sympathy, told tiim that all the hair would fall off his head, and that he would be sure to die. Wilhelm Schulenberger, brother to the prosecutor, stated that at repeated intervals during the last six months the latter had called upon him in a state of acute internal suffering, which he expressed his apprehension had been caused by something of a deleterious nature administered to him by his wife, as he kept no servant, and had no attic r inmate. Upon the discovery of the first packet of poison, witness remarked to the prisoner " What a wretch you must be to give my brother poison." to which she replied, "It i s no such thing—do you think I would poison the father of my child ? " The prisener had previously stated that the packet merely contained salts, of prunella, which she had received from the wife of the witness, and the latter, who was present at the time, havihg positively denied that she had given her anything of the kind, the prisoner then said that there was nothing in the paper but some common salts. The witness then proceeded to describe the search in which he and his brother were subsequently engaged, and which resulted in the discovery of the other packages, and portions of the powder before referred to. Sergeant Kelly, of the H division, deposed to the ap prehension of th e p r i soner a t h er .f at h er ' s house nature nthe ro preceding evening, and th a t upon explaining ,iie the is a wicked to of the charge, her only remark was, , two certificates from Dr. Ryan, pro e.s of chemistry man." The sergeant then handed r to. or the magistrate at the German Hospital, Dalston, to the following centents of a small packet placed in my effect:—" I hereby certify that I have h e a x o a d m s, in f e o d r the the whole semi crysalline matter within purpose by Philip Schulenbers ti eri a , i a t nd find consists ststohfatcotmhe mon salt and ,e arsenious , a , c r i h d i , lip or so t hoia heewth,itregoar appliedrsen arsenic of commerce.

May 18. Mr. Vann, who attended on behalf of the accuied, said, that as the case was one whic!l must necessarily undergo a further investigation, he Should rescrve the defence for a future occasion ; and the prisoner, who had her child in her arms, and exhibited an entire ab sence of emotion throughout the examination, was ordered to be remanded for the completion of the evidence.
