This Gallant Naval Officer died on Friday last, at Behiore, his residence, near Cuckfield, Sus sex, at the advanced age of seventy-eight years, having been in the navy upwards of sixty-five years, and being, with not more than four ex ceptions,the senior Admiral in the British service. Towards the conclusion of the American war, Sir John commanded the Raven, of fourteen guns, at the Leeward Islands, on which station he had the misfortune to be captured by two French frigates. He was afterwards appointed to the Wasp sloop, and cruised with so much activity against the smugglers as to call forth the thanks of the Commissioners of Customs, who sent a sum of money to be distributed among his officers and crew as a reward for their exer tions. His post commission bears date March 1, 1783, from which period we find no mention of him until the month of October, 1794 , when commanded the Defence of 74 guns. Early in 1797, Captain Wells was appointed to the Lancaster, 64, stationed in the North Sea, under the orders of the late gallant Lord Duncan; and on the memorable 11th October, in the same year, he most powerfully con tributed to the defeat of the Dutch fleet under Admiral de Winter. The Lancaster on that occasion had three men killed, and eighteen wounded; and Captain Wells, for his meritorious conduct, was honoured with a gold medal. He afterwards walked in the procession to St. Paul's, when their late Majesties went to the metropo litan church to deposit the various colours taken from the enemy during the war. The solemn ceremonies of this, day were de voted to thanksgiving for the splendid triumphs that the Almighty had vouchsafed to the fleets of Britain. It took place on the 19th of De cember, 1797, when their Majesties, as stated above, with all the Royal Family, attended by the Great Officers of State, and the Members of both Houses of Parliament, went in procession, and returned thanks for the glorious naval vic tories obtained by Lord Howe, June 1, 1794 ; by Admiral Hotham, March 13, 1795; by Lord Bridport, June 23, 1795; by Sir John Jervis, Feb. 14, 1797 ; and lastly by Admiral Duncan, Oct. 11, in the same year. The flags of these actions, as well as the colours of the Dutch fleet captured by Sir G. H. Elphinstone, Aug. 18, 1796, were carried on this occasion. Fifteen Flag Officers and twenty-six Captains attended the procession, and at the end of the first lesson, entered in two divisions, right and left of the King's chair, and advancing to the altar there deposited the trophies of their valour. Sir John continued to command the Lancaster till the month of May, 1799, since which, we believe, he had not been employed. His promotion as a flag-officer took place in the following order :—Rear-Admiral of the Blue. Nov. 9, 1805; Vice-Admiral, July 31, 1810; and Admiral, July 19, 1821. He was nominated an extra K.C.B. May 20, 1820. Sir John Wells married, April 29, 1815, Miss Jane Dealty, of Rottingdean, Sussex. ORIGIN OF THE RICHMOND CEMETERY, DUBLIN. A County meeting was held at Dublin on Saturday last, for the purpose of furthering the undertakings of the " Land Investment Company." The' High Sheriff, Thomas Boyse, Esq., in the course of an eloquent speech, gave the following account of the foundation of the Richmond Cemetery, and the great object secured to Catholics by the movement :—I recollect (said the Learned High Sheriff) that about fourteen years ago the people of the city of Dublin were in a state of per petual confusion and irritation in consequence of the Protestant clergymen of the city refusing permission to the Catholic clergymen to read the office of the dead over the remains of their deceased parishioners. In the assertion of this ungracious right the police force were called in, and on more than one occasion blood was shed in the grave-yard.—(Hear, hear.) To remedy this state of things, the present ,Lord ,Plunket, then Attorney-General, introduced a Bill into the House of Commons, which passed. This Bill is known as " The Easement of Burial Bill." It was so insulting in its spirit, that although professing to remedy the evil, it made matters worse than they were in their original state. Amongst other provisions it contained one, that the nearest of of a deceased Catholic should serve twelve hours' notice on the parson of the parish of his intention to inter the remains of his deceased relative in the parish churchyard, and to have the office of the dead said over them. The parson had the power to assent or dissent, and in the event of refusing permission, he was liable to a civil action in the due course of law, the body of the deceased being outside the gate in the in terim, and, of course, approaching rapidly to a state I of decomposition.—(Hear, hear, and laughter.) Find ing this state of the law absolutely intolerable, the subject was, by myself and others, frequently brought under the notice of the Catholic Associa tion ; and, assisted by Mr. O'Connell, we succeeded in getting from the funds of the Association a sum of 800/., with which a Committee then appointed—of which I was one—purchased the fee simple of four acres of land at Richmond, near Dublin, which we enclosed with a twelve-foot wall, and, after being consecrated, was converted into a cemetery, where persons of all re ligious persuasions could be interred without the con sent of the parson. The first rule made by the Direc tors was, that in the descent of frail human nature to the grave there should be no religious distinction.— (Hear, and cheers.) The parson of parish, finding his revenues diminished to the extent of 1,5001., raved and complained that his vested rights were evaded ; but, on inquiry, he found that the law afforded no remedy; and his churchyard, which at all seasons of the year, exhi bited the appearance of a ploughed field, from the number of interments, threw up such a crop of noxious weeds and loathsome grass that it afforded employment to the MONS er three times during that and every succeeding season since. —(Hear.) An additional result has followed the labours of the Directors—namely, that the fees arising from interments were so large, that they have been en abled to take a tract of forty acres of land adjoining the Botanical Gardens, on the north side of Dublin, which is also enclosed and devoted to the interment of the dead without religious distinction ; a large space is devoted to the interment of the poor without any charge ; and the Directors have continued to govern this society !ince the year 1828 gratuitously. The parson's freehold right has been destroyed without being directly invaded— Lord Plunket's insulting " Easement of Burial Bill" re mains a dead letter on the statute-book, and that which was considered perfectly impracticable--namely, the in terment of the Catholic or Protestant Dissenter, without the leave of the parson, has been fully accomplished. TRIALS OF ANIMAL MAGNE TISM ON THE BRUTE CREATION. A most curious little book, bearing this title, has been put into our hands. It is written by Dr. John Wilson, Physician to the Middlesex Hospital, and its blunt style, and the air of indifference which it breathes throughout as to the reception its statements may meet with, are such as to prepossess one in favour of its au thor's sincerity, if his character in this respect were not already well known. His Preface is a plain and phi losophical account of the considerations which induced him to give animal magnetism these " trials." In giving the Doctor's statements, however, we offer no opinion on the facts, much less do we attempt to draw any in ference from them. Having referred to the various phases of alternate attention and contempt which Mes merism has presented since its existence was first pointed out to philosophical observers, he says, " As, however, the science professes to be founded upon ob served and ascertained facts, it seems to :be entitled to a full examination before its claims be altogether rejected. The extraordinary character of the facts which constitute its basis, affords a good reason for making the examination proportionally rigorous and severe, but no reason for dismissing the subject without any examination at all." He then ex plains that until renewed experiments were recently brought under public observation, he was so far from yielding an easy assent to the doctrines of the science that he did not think it worth while to direct any time or attention to it. But, in consequence of those recent experiments, he conceived a desire to institute such re searches as were consistent with strict propriety and due caution, into the reality of the magnetic influence, "in order to satisfy himself whether the existence of such an influence had been established as a physical fact; and, if so, whether this new power might be safely and bene ficially applicable as a remedial , agent in th e treatment of diseases of the human fra me . ' iewsofaPaidsvicrecoefisetlhyat eminent and in accordance with the i strong lson's opinionview, and cautious philosopher, Dugald S tewart, i n the "Elements i D th r i of the Philosophy of the Human Mind," vol. iii. p. 221. The passage is curious, and may be consulted with ad vantage in the present stage of the mesmeric controversy. Accordingly, the Doctor, in some peculiar cases, " in which the ordinary remedies had been em ployed in vain, thought it allowable to try whe ther any effects such as have been ascribed to ani mal magnetism, would be produced upon his patients with beneficial consequences; and advancing t , l a y s l ow and cautious steps, the results were surprising to him self." He says he " prod uced remar kable an various effects upon all the patients upon whom he operated, and the infirmities under which some of them laboured, were materially relieved or removed." Restraining himself within the strictest bounds of caution," h e was in duced to institute experiments with a view to ascertain what effects would be produced on the brute creation by this agency. This mode of investigation, he thought, could not be liable to the objection, either that there was col lusion between the operator and the subject, or, when the character of the operator was above suspicion, that the subject was an impostor. Having thus briefly given a sketch of his views and motives, we shall leave his experiments to speak for themselves, in the following extracts:— " My first experiments on animals were made on cats, but as they were snore or less connected with the cases of my patients, which I have not en tered upon here, I may briefly notice that many experiments were made on four cats and kit tens, at intervals from the 16th of May to the 3d of Oc tober, 1838, and each of them was put to sleep at the first trial ; and ultimately I was able to put first one and then another to sleep ; and at the end to leave three sleeping together, being as many as could ordinarily be brought together at once. One of these, a Torn, the first of them that was magnetised, and on which that opera tion had been most frequently repeated, became easily and strongly influenced by it ; so that he has been pulled about—lifted up by the nape of the neck, and hi s ears tickled with a pen, during which he would remain mo- • tionless, and was then said to be in a state of catalepsy. Sometimes when lifted up by the head or tail, the eyes might partially open, without the limbs moving, and when dropped down, the eyes again closed, and so con tinued to sleep, without making any effort to move from the place, where he had been dropped." Then follow detailed accounts of a series of experi ments (of which notes seem to have been taken) from the 26th of September to the 17th of March fol lowing. The first were made upon three cats, with rather odd names, and a terrier. These are described as having been all sent to sleep, in times varying from five to ten minutes or a quarter of an hour; and his accounts of the symptoms of excitement and quasi-delirium, which they occasionally exhibited, are very amusing. In other instances, goats, pigs, and dogs of several kinds, were subjected to the manipulations—were frequently put to sleep, and manifested, in various ways, their susceptibility of the influence. The most extraor dinary of these was the case of a " stout St. Bernard's puppy, six months old," which had been blind from birth ! It is thus related : " I began the passes, while it was at large in a room, and, as it moved about, I continued acting on it as I was able,, by following it and continuing the passes. After some time it became irritable, made a whining sort of noise, so that for safety I removed farther from it while I continued the passes. It yawned eight times as it was sitting on its haunches, it trembled a little, its eyes began to close, and head to droop, when it suddenly recovered itself. These alternations of drooping the head and rousing itself were repeated several times, till it lay down at full length, and was then soon put to sleep. It remained in this state for twenty minutes, when it got up, and I moved off to a different part of the room. The dog kept moving from place to place, examining, with its nose, every thing that it came near, but particularly the floor and chairs. This con tinued more than five minutes. When it came near to me, and had touched and smelt me, it began whining, shaking its tail, and showed other symptoms of satisfao tion,.—then lay down at my feet, though I had not seen it since the day of its birth, and its master was, at the same time standing beside me, and it took no notice of him. The servant who had brought the dog into the room was sent for to take it away, but the dog would not go with him. Then, the great dogs, its father and mother, were brought in, and when they went out, it followed them out of the -door, but immediately left them and returned to me. And; on my walking out, it followed me, although, from its blindness, unable to see me." He details experiments, if possible, still more extra ordinary in their effects, upon macaws, poultry, ducks, geese, and turkeys, and, most wonderful ofall, upon FISHES! But-to extract them at such length as would enable the reader to form any judgment upon the subject would occupy too much space; and we must refer the curious to the book itself. The adventurous and yet most cautious author pro ceeded to try his hand upon the wild beasts in the me nagrerie of the Surrey Gardens with various success, but with most decided success upon the Elephants ! The latter, he says, he repeatedly put to sleep in the presence of their keeper, and elicited from them still more surprising manifestations of the mesmeric influence. He thus explains his reason for discontinuing his opera tions in this novel field ;—" No further trials were made on the elephants and other wild beasts, from my un willingness to carry the experiments beyond a certain point; for I had no means of judging what the conse quences might be, should such animals, after repetitions of.magnetism, get into the irritable stage, or should they, after being put to sleep, pass into the state of som nambulism or delirium." DISTRESS IN NOTTINGHAM. NOTTINGHAM, THURSDAY.—The distress which exists in this large emporium of industry and skill is truly frightful—such as to make the heart bleed at the thought of ; hundreds are starving on straw beds, with out food, fire, or covering, and these are people who would work if they could get it. Each day parties of men, with starvation in their looks, and dressed in ab solute rags, have been parading the town in pro cessions of two, three, and four hundred, carrying a board, on which is printed in large letters—" Distressed and out of work." Other parties, to the number of 30 or 40, drag carts loaded with sand through the streets, and beg from door to door. The relief list at the Union workhouse contains 3,600 recipients. The house itself has 900 inmates crammed within its walls. A meeting was called by the Archdeacon of Nottingham, at St. Mary's Church, on Tuesday, of the clergy and laity, to consider and devise the best means to alleviate the distress. Dr. Macauley, who is stopping within a mile of Not tingham, addressed a letter to the meeting, advising the same plan to be pursued as at Edinburgh—namely, to establish a large soup kitchen, which will cost about 1004 per week. The meeting determined to co-operate with another meeting of the townspeople, which is called for Monday next, by Richard Morley, Esq., the Mayor, in the Exchange Hall. Besides those receiving parish relief, upwards of 2,000 are starving. Distress and gaunt misery haunts the whole town. Trade is dead— not a single master employs full hands. The meeting at Derby, on Thursday next, of the mer chants and manufacturers of the Midland Counties, will be attended by 100 each from the towns of Nottingham, Derby, and Leicester. Important revelations will then be made. At Leicester, trade is horribly dull ; in short, if something is not done shortly, the consequences will be frighful. DEATH OF SIR F. CHANTREY. We much regret to announce the sudden death of Sir Francis Chantrey, R.A., the celebrated sculptor, which took place on Thursday night at about 20 minutes before nine o'clock, at his resi dence in Eccleston-street South, Eaton-square. Sir Francis, who has for many years suffered from a disease of the heart, was seized with an oppres sion on the chest in the earlier part of the evening. A medical man in the neighbourhood was sent for, who administered a medicine which afforded so much relief that Sir Francis considered himself well enough to join a small circle at dinner. Shortly after he had concluded a light repast he was again seized with a sudden tightness and pain in the chest, and in 25 minutes he was a corpse. Dr. Bright, his medical attendant, was sent for, but did not arrive until about five mi nutes after he expired. Sir Francis had only ar rived from Holkham, where lie had been on a visit, the preceding evening. He was as well as usual in the earlier part of the day, and was oc cupied in his customary avocations. The late Sir Francis Chantrey, Knt., R.A., D. C. L., Oxon., M. A. Cantab., F.R.S., &c., was the only son of Francis Chantrey, Esq., of Norton, Derbyshire, where he was born in 1782. Sir Francis married, in 1809, a daughter of Daniel Wall, Esq. In 1816 he was elected an Associate of the Royal Academy of London, and in 1818 he was chosen a Royal Academician. Sir Francis was likewise a member of the Acade mies of Rome and of Florence. THE INQUEST. Last evening, at seven o'clock, a Jury of great respec tability, was impannelled before Mr. Higgs, the Coroner, at No. 30, Lower Belgrave-place, Pimlico, the town resi dence of the late Sir Francis Chantrey, Knt., for the pur pose of investigating the circumstances under which the awfully sudden death of that highly distinguished artist occurred. The Reporters, on applying to be admitted as usual, were treated very cavalierly, and their application peremptorily refused ; however, at the request of eleven out of the twelve Jurymen, the Coroner, at the conclusion of the inquiry, furnished the Reporters with his depositions to copy, from which it ap pared that the deceased was about sixty years of age, and for some time past been affected with indiges tion, and a tendency of blood to the head, for which he had been under the medical treatment of Dr. Bright, of Saville-row, Burlington-gardens, and Mr. Perry, of No. 4, Eaton-square, surgeon. About half-past five o'clock on Thursday evening, the deceased, who then appeared to be quite well, left home, and proceeded to Buckingham Palace, had there suddenly become unwell, and was obliged to return home. On returning he complained of suffering severely from wind or spasm in his chest, and at his request Mr. Perry was sent for, and adminis tered some medicine to him, which greatly relieved him; that he shortly afterwards directed his dinner to be brought up to him ; he ate very sparingly' of some chicken and bread pudding, and afterwards walked about the room, expressing how much better he felt him self. A short time afterwards, the deceased experienced a second attack, while sitting on a sofa in the drawing room with Lady Chantrey, and, falling back, gave a forcible aspiration of breath, and almost instantly ex pired. Messengers were directly despatched for Dr. Bright and Mr. Perry, and in a very short time both gentlemen arrived, but all human aid was ineffectual. Dr. Bright stated that the state of health of Sir Francis was generally imperfect and precarious, and such as would most probably be ter minated by sudden death, which, no doubt, resulted from a sudden spasm of the heart, consequent upon the affec tion of the stomach. The Jury returned a verdict of— " Died from spasm of the heart." During the investigation, a Messenger was sent from Buckingham Palace to inquire, in the name of the Queen and Prince Albert, after the state of health of Lady Chantrey. THE CABINET-MAKERS' TRADE SOCIETY. We have known this,Society for upwards of a quarter of a century. They established themselves in Leaden hall-gtreet in the year 1815, and many have been the conspiracies against them, but they have overcome all, stood their ground, and prospered. We are glad to see them take the same path for the benefit of their great body as the Art-Union Society, who have a lottery every year for the benefit of the painters, sculptors, &c., in shares of 21s. The clergy also have one for scripture pieces at three guineas each, and why should not the hum ble artisan have the same support as the clergy or painters? The Cabinet-makers' Society have a nov%l way for the distribution of 1,4001. worth of cabinet fur niture, at 2s. 6d. a share, to be decided on the 14th of next month, in Leadenhall-street, which within a short period have been increased from 512 to 703, and from 1,2001. to 1,400/., for :the Society had met with such great support that they would be able to announce the prizes to be 1,000 and more, and 2,0001. worth of fur niture, for, as the sale of shares increased, so would the prizes. The sale of shares is unlimited. We recommend them to public favour, and hope they will receive that patronage and support they deserve for this bold undertaking in their situation. The following extract from their circular explains the plan:—" The Committee most respectfully acquaint their patrons and friends, that the Society has so increased in their num bers, that their manufacturing department has over balanced the sale at their establishment, and sooner than any of the members should feel the pressure, the following expedient is resorted to :—To dispose of 1,4001. worth of furniture in 11,200 shares at 2s. 6d. each, as the Society only requires 1,400/. for 1,400/. worth ; to be drawn by the Society on the 14th of December next, and should the sale of shares exceed the limited number, the amount of such shares sold will be placed to the prizes. The furniture offered will be of the very best quality: should this give satisfaction, which we hope it will, another will follow. The object is not to gain, but merely to keep the members in full employment. The Society's funds provide for members in sickness 11. per week ; in old age, 55.; burial, 15/." HALIFAX, Nov. 25. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) We had, in some respects, an extraordinary proceed ing here last night, in the form of a meeting for the pur pose of Colonel Thompson giving a lecture on the Corn laws. The large building, called the Odd Fellows' Hall, was completely filled ; and a large portion of the audi ence was understood to be from the neighbouring villages, where Chartism is stronger than in the town. The Operative Anti-Corn-law Association, who had been at the expenses of the lecture, moved that their President should take the Chair ; which the Chartists opposed, and moved a Chairman of th e i r own. W i th more tact than at Birmingham, no resistance was made, and the lecture went on without interruption. Af ter the Lecturer had finished, a Chartist missionary rose, and made an extensive number of objections. A journey man shoemaker rose to reply, the . Chartist Chairman throughout maintaining a rough kind of justice, as far as was consistent with having taken the management of the lecture out of the hands of the people who had paid for it. The Lecturer then invited the missionary to pro pose his objections one by one, and gave his replies, the audience appearing to . enjoy the contest with great im partiality. The missionary followed with a ver y l ong a ddress, and concluded by declaring that his object was to persuade the manufacturing population not to allow their country to be mode the workshop of the world, but to direct their efforts to obtaining possession of the land in portions of five or six acres apiece ; to which end he would not use violence, but he would obtain the Charter, and then it would be in their power to do it. A resolution was then proposed, that the meeting would move for nothing but the Charter ; for which a large proportion of the meeting held up their hands, the remainder, including those who had paid for the room, not holding up their hands in opposition.

A Correspondent, pointing to the course adopted by the Northern and Eastern Railway Com pany, in completing their works as they advance, ob serves, that if the hands that have been employed be tween here and Colchester had been engaged between here and Brentwood, the carriages might now have been running into our town, and the cash into the Company's treasury. — Chelmsford Chronicle. PERSEVERANCE.—Because you find a thing very difficult, do not presently conclude that no man can master it : but whatever you observe proper, and prac ticable by another, believe likewise within your own power. A beautiful white turnip was taken from the field of Mr. William Tilke, Clisthydon, a day or two since, weighing 181bs., and was exhibited on the tower as a turnip lanthorn on the night the news came that Eng• land was blessed with a Prince of Wales and Duke of Cornwall.—Sherborne Journal. A red cabbage plant, purchased in February last, of Mr. Samuel Poxon, seedsman, Castle Donington, and planted by Mr. George Townley, of Long Whatton, was cut a few days since, when it weighed the enormous weight of twenty-nine pounds.—Nottingham Review. JONATHAN AGAIN.—On Monday week a young man, who (as was supposed) had died of the yellow fever at New Orleans, was no sooner put into the coffin in a burial dress, than he asked, " Where are you going with me ?" He is expected to recover. Yesterday morning most extensive preparations were commenced at the Horse Bazaar, in King-street, Portman-square, for the reception of the cattle to be ex hibited at the ensuing Grand Prize Cattle Show. THE QUEEN.—We are happy to learn that the Queen has so entirely recovered that her Majesty has resumed her petits diners en famille, which are con fined to the Queen, Prince Albert, and the Duchess of Kent. At a shop in the neighbourhood of Clare market, a paper is exhibited in the window, on which is written—" The real Prince of Wales's sassages sold here. PEDESTRIANISM. A match came off at Brook-street on Monday last for a sovereign aside, be tween Mr. Wm. Eldred, smith, Great Warley, and Mr. John Cross, bricklayer, of Brentwood, to run 130 yards. The smith's bellows proved the best, says our Correspon dent, and, as might be expected of a gentleman of his profession, he won the heat.—Chebnsford Chronicle. NATIONAL BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION.— The annual general meeting of the above charitable insti tution was held on Thursday forenoon at the Freemasons' Tavern, Henry Pownall, Esq., presiding. The meeting, which was well attended by respectable and benevolent persons of either sex, was held to hear the annual Re ; port of the Committee of Management, and to elect from a list of 114 candidates 15 pensioners. By the report it appeared that 220 persons, whose average age was 70, had been relieved by the Society since last Christmas. Sad i . t not been for the liberality of the institution the closing career of those individuals would have been embittered by privation. The only regret the Committee had was that their funds precluded them from extending further their means of relief, and they therefore solicited the benevolent to aid them in widening the bounds of cha rity. Still, and it was a proof that the public thought well of the institution, its funds had increased, which enabled the Committee to elect a greater number of pen sioners at that meeting than at any former one.—(Ap plause.) Besides the 15 successful candidates four other would be chosen, viz., two who polled the highest after the 15, and two whose names had been longest on the So ciety's books. There was in the hands of the treasurer a balance after all the disbursements had beon paid out of the annual income, which was 8,000/. The Report having been adopted, and 19 pensioners chosen, th e meeting separated. REMOVAL OF BODIES FROM THE VAULTS OF CHRISTCHURCH, BLACKFRIARS, TO THE CEMETERY AT Nottwoop.—On Thursday a great number of p ersons a s se mbled in the Blackfriars-road to witness the re moval of several coffins from the vaults under the ch urc h of the parish of Christchurch, Blackfriars, to th e ceme tery at Norwood. A report, although erroneous, w as generally spread that the church-yard was to be closed up, but the fact was that a faculty had been o bt a i ned b y the relatives of the f a mil y , n a med Gilbert, who for many years resided in the Blackfriars-road, to remove the re mains of those deceased from the above vaults to the cemetery at Norwood. Some of the coffins had been under the church for more than forty years, and were in such a state that it was found necessary to cover them with cloth. After they had been b roug h t up they were placed in six hearse, which moved off at a funeral pace, followed in a mourning coach by some of the friends and a number of persons who had witnessed the removal. The bodies were ultimately re -interred in one vault in the cemetery. RELIEF TO THE POR. Yesterday, at Union-Hall, two of the Guardians of St. George's parish waited on the Magistrate relative to the case of the girl Gardener, who, it will be recollected, was turned out of her father's house, and afterwards, ac cording to her own account and that of a policeman of the M division, refused relief on her application to th e parochial authorities of St. George's and St. Saviour's parishes, being at the time in a state of destitution. The guardians alluded to the previous report of the case in the papers, and said that it was calculated to con vey an impression that she had experienced very unfeeling treatment at the hands of those to whom she applied for relief after her father had closed his doors against her. Now, the facts of the case were not such as had been stated ; but when the girl applied at St. George's, upon inquiry it was ascertained that she had not slept in the parish the night previously, but in that of St. Sa viour's, the adjoining parish, where they were bound to afford her that casual relief which the necessity of the case required. The poor girl had been admitted into St. George's workhouse, and slept there one night, when the father turned her out, but instead of being sent about her business, the next morning, as the report described, she left of her own accord, a policeman having called at the house and took her away with him. The Guardians then adverted to the subject of the relieving of vagrants and casual poor, great numbers of whom were in the nightly habit of applying for admission into the work house, and to such an extent had th e ev il i ncrease d that the uardians of an adjoining parish had written to the Poor-law Commissioners on the subject, and the follow ing was their reply : " Poor-law Commis:ion-office, Somerset-house. " Sir—l am directed by the Poor-law Commissioners to state that they have had under their consideration your letter of the Ist inst., together with its.enclosure, relating to the qlief of vagrants and casual poor. - .The Commissioners are deeply sensible of the importance and difficulty of the subject to which those papers refer, and in the present state of the law they feel it impossible to offer advice which can be wholly satisfactory either to the Guardians or to themselves. The first and paramount duty of those to whom the administration of relief of the poor is intrusted must be to provide effectually and in stantly for all cases of urgent want. This object the Commissioners feel confident will always be kept in view by the Guardians, at whatever risk, or at whatever cost it may be attained. The Commissioners know by experience the too easy and indiscriminate re ception of all applicants who present them selves for a night's lodging often affords to street mendicants and impostors that portion , of food and shelter which should be reserved for the really des titute. Prostitutes have been known to go forth to their occupation in the streets every morning, and to return at night, for a fortnight in succession, to the vagrant ward of a workhouse, which was thus wholly misapplied, and rendered a place of contamination to those whom misfortune, and not vice, might bring thither. For those evils the only effectual remedy would be an esta blishment for the reception of persons casually destitute separate from the workhouse, conducted on different principles of discipline, and with a power of temporary detention as a test of the urgency of the want which brought the applicant to seek shelter in it. In the mean time the Commissioners hope that the erection of a hand mill in your workhouse, which should be applicable to the casual poor might do much to diminish the num ber of able-bodied male applicants. There could be no objection to the Guardians affixing a notice to the gate of the workhouse, and at the residence of the relieving officer, to the effect that no order for admission to the vagrant ward will, under ordinary circumstances, be given after a certain hour, remembering, of course, that really urgent cases must form an exception to every rule, and be admitted on application at the workhouse at all times. In general, the fact of an applicant being brought by any of the police should be taken as prima fade evidence of real and urgent want, inasmuch as it is the duty of the body to treat as offenders, under the Vagrant Act, any impostors or persons committing acts of vagrancy within their district. The Commissioners have every reason to believe that the Inspectors of Police will take care that proper caution is exercised by the constables under their control, so that the shelter and relief intended for the destitute may not be absorbed by wilful and habitual mendicants. " The Commissioners have caused a copy of this letter to be forwarded to the Commissioners of the Metropoli tan Police.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient servant, " E. CHADWICK, Secretary." The Guardians, then, in reference to the girl Gar dener's case, said that it had been ascertained her fa ther's place of settlement was at Mitcham, whether it was intended to pass her on her exclusion from his house. Mr. COTTINGHAM said, that since the inquiry had taken place before him, a benevolent gentleman, having read the account of the case in the newspapers, had not only transmitted two guineas for her immediate relief, but had also, through the medium of the Mendicity So ciety, to which he was a subscriber, undertaken to pro cure her a situation where she would be enabled to earn an honest livelihood, and save her from the impending ruin which was likely to result from the unfeeling con duct of her parent.

Some of the parties interested in bringing the bidden treasure to light were engaged throughout the day in counting the money. THE GREAT SACRIFICE OF INFANT LIFE BY FIRE.-At an inquest held on Thursday evening be fore Mr. Higgs, on the body of a child burnt to death, that functionary said that the present inquest made the fifth he had held within the last eleven days on children who had met their deaths in a similar manner. It was most painful to contemplate such a sacrifice of human life. The only remedy for it was, in his opinion, the fire-guard, which every person having children ought to possess. The cost of such an article was trifling. In all cases of a similar nature held before Mr. Wakley, that gen tleman always addresses the parents in a most feeling man ner on the utility of having, not only fire-guards, but high fenders, so as to prevent children from standing on the edge of those articles, to reach on the mantel-shelf, which, in his opinion (so many things being generally placed upon it), was a temptation to the child to try and get them off.

SHOCKING CATASTROPHE.-- On Saturday afternoon, two men, named Beand Bennet Draper, residing at Bretby, and who had left their homes in search of work some short tim e b e f ore, the estate of the Mar • were found poaching on Marquis of Anglesey, in the neigh bourhood of Burton, by two persons appointed to pre serve the game. As soon as they • found they were dis covered they ran away, and the two watchers commenced pursuit ; they continued the chace until Bennet and Draper, ,who had taken the route of the meadows, were completely hemmed in with the river Trent on the one hand, the river Dove before them, and their pursuers behind. The watchers now felt sure of capturing the offenders, and called to them to surrender, but the un fortunate and misguided men immediately leapd into the Dove, near to where it joins the Trent at Newton Sol ey. Draper, who, it appears, could not swim, went down in a few seconds; but Bennet kept above the water for some time, and his cries for help were heartrending. Mr. Smedley, of Newton, who witnessed the occurrence, immediately ran to a boat hard by, but found it locked; he then went home to procure a hammer to remove the lock, but by the time he returned the ill-fated man had sunk to rise no more. Owing to the swollen state of the river the bodies have not yet been recovered. Both the men were unmarried.—Derby and Chesterfield Reporter. A MAN THROWN FROM A WINDOW,. On Thursday morning, at half-past three o'clock, a man, respectably dressed, was thrown from the second-flocr window of a house of ill-fame in Leg-alley, Long-acre. The police-constable on duty, hearing dreadful groans, proceeded to the spot, where he found the man lying insensible. He was removed to Charing-cross Hospital, where it was found that his left leg had received a severe compound fracture, besides other injuries. LONGEVITY.—A man, named Champagne, a native of Pau, died there a few days since, aged 100 years and six months. At Orleans a negress, who came to France from St. Domingo after the revolution in that island, died last week, aged 103. r, MORNING S 4;6 I=r er t1ig .... _ ..k.... -..v--, ,--\., SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JO 7.-... : -. c.% FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YE V,/ GLOBE.—The Money mania really is a sWiatZAI gular thing. We insert a fresh ebullition of it in our this day's columns, in the shape of a some what lengthy Address of " The Birmingham Association for Promoting the General Welfare of their Fellow-countrymen." Hajji Baba, when told by a vulgar hostess that the peas she pressed on him were five guineas a dish, replied, that if such were the standard of value in eatables, "as good eat tomauns, as good eat Cashmere shawls." Messrs. Clutton Salt, and Matthias Green, would have us swallow inconvertible notes. The Ad dress states, very justly, that " the assertion that the producing portion of society cannot be fed and clothed, is a most dishonest and disgraceful absurdity." It is so, with access like ours to commerce. But fed and clothed with what?— with Brummagem inconvertible currency ? It would seem so, in the view of Mr. Clutton Salt:— " Demand may always be made equal to supply, by a due exercise of the Royal preroga tive, in maintaining the quantity of money to be spent in an equilibrium with the quantity of goods to be sold ; and that, in fact, excess of supply beyond demand means more goods than money ; while excess of demand beyond supply means more money than goods—the amount of demand always depending on the amount of money in circulation." There are said to be men who can move one step in reasoning, and no farther. Mr. Salt and his fellow currency-doctors would seem to be of this number. The amount of demand, they say, depends on the amount of money in circu lation. Well, then, on what does the amount of money in circulation depend? The answer to that question would show that Mr. Salt and his friends see only the surface—the symptoms of our actual commercial malady. But quacks only prescribe for symptoms, without investigating the source of disease. If Messrs. Saltand Co. had stuck to the good sense which suggested the remark we have already quoted—respecting the producing classes being fed and clothed—if they had not lost sight of this, the main condition of public prosperity—if they had kept in view that the sine qua non for those who labo ur i n c l o thi ng others i s being fed for doing so—deriving an abundant supply of all necessaries from sources not rendered precarious by sinister legislation— they surely could not have fallen into the flagrant absurdity of asserting that all that was wanting to restore prosperity was an act of the Royal pre rogative to make money as plenty as unsold goods! If this is not a reductio ad absurdum of the Birmingham currency doctrine, nothing can be—to the eyes of all who regard it through the medium of common sense. STANDARD.—" The alliance is, it seems, at an end, the Chartists are no lon g er t o b e cajoled. The repeal of the Corn-laws, that monster-evil which at once diminishes wages (a falsehood) by depriving the working classes of employment (another falsehood), and raises the price of food (a third falsehood) by excluding that of foreign growth from our markets, is discovered to be of more essential worth to the working classes than the five points of the Charter." These are the words in which an Opposition journal announces some change in the relation of the Chartists to other parties. The Journal quoted describes this change as the dissolution of an al liance with the Conservative party, but its own words very plainly contradict the hypothesis of any such alliance, for the Conservatives have never recognised the five points, or any one them ; and these five points are understood to constitute the differentia of a Chartist. True, most Conservatives, and some Chartists, agree in a very strong dislike to the cruel ties and the injustice of the New Poor-law; and it was the tactic of the Ministerial journals of the day to treat this strong dislike of cruelty and injustice as Chartism, and the agreement in it as an alliance; but the dislike of cruelty and injustice is surely no party characteristic except negatively, as it proves a man not a Whig- Radical ; and a community of the very natural feeling implies no more concert than a common liking for pure air and temperate weather. The change in the political relation of the Chartists, then, is not the dissolution of an alliance with the Conservative party, be cause no such alliance ever existed; it is, as the passage quoted admits, a renewal of the old alli ance with the W big-Radical party, a substitution of the Whig-Radical Anti-Corn-law agitation for the agitation of the Charter, and, along with this substitution, au abandonment of all hostility to the New Poor-law. This is not what we could wish, but it is what we have from the first known to be inevitable. It.Avas impossible for honest men, raised a single step above the lowest level of ignorance —the level upon which the Chartists them selves move—it was impossible for any honest man, not himself as stupid as the great mass of Chartists, to expect any positive perma nent good from the miserable faction ; but still it was to be desired that the little casual good of which the faction was capable might be secured, and that its activity in evil might be controlled. The New Poor-law question was the only ques tion which the bulk of the Chartists could be brought to understand, and therefore we all saw it with pleasure when they engaged with this question in a manner to separate them from the Whig-Radicals, with whom they have so many evil propensities in common. We were gratified to see the enemies of all that is good divided, because division restricted their power of mischief; but we never had the least fancy to receive either section into an alliance, though, perhaps, of the two, we did think better of the Chartists. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM TEE HORNING TAPERS or YESTERDAY. POST. —ln the Foreign HoUse — iiie prin cipal operations were in Spanish Stock, in which the fluctuations proved heavy. A large operation, of which mention was made yes terday, turned out to be less considerable in amount than had been reported, and gene rally believed. The sum talked of was 300,0001., but we understand that, in reality, it did not exceed one-third of that amount. The recollection of past disappointments prevents that confidence being placed in the promises of the Spanish Government which might other wise have been the case ; and while some of the bondholders deem it wise to realise at the price of the day, others were slow pl Ba t 3y o 7n e : n eln t e e tds r , into v ae r greattised advance specu lations of so critical a nature.

It appears th a t t h e forgery of Exchequer bills is by no means confined to this country, but that it is, in fact, the order of the day on some parts of the Continent and elsewhere. We perceive that arrests have been made in Dresden of parties who had issued counterfeit bills on the Prussian Treasury, and that a commis sioner has been sent to Paris, within the last few days, to ascertain the existence of like forgeries in that capital, where he first discovered them in the window of a money changer. The commis sioner went in and gave an order for a consider able sum deliverable at a stipulated time. This having arrived he called again with a police officer, by whom the forgeries were seized, together wit h the vendor; and although the proceeding - against the latter fell to the ground, the redress he attempted to obtain for the loss to which he had been subjected, through the order given him to purchase, was not afforded him. We find also that the Portuguese Minister of Finance has just made a special communication to the Cortes re quiring extraordinary measures for the suppres sion of the immense amount of forgery going on in stamps, bank-notes, and public securities, as wall as of coin, observing that, without the powers applied for it would be impossible for him to collect the revenues with any satisfaction to himself. It is much apprehended by parties conversant with the arts of engraving and stamp ing, that forgery is likely to increase to a fearful extent through the promulgation of various processes lately discovered, and particularly in the use of the electrotype, the test of imitation by means of which no kind of engraving now practised is able to resist. It is confidently asserted that coloured embossed stamps, such as the Post-office labels, are imi tated at a very trifling expense to the imitator, for even the law does not comprehend this, it would appear, as an offence coming within the Acts passsd for the prevention of forgery. Com mon receipt and bill stamps, also, are said to be imitated with a facility beyond all belief, and at scarcely any other cost than that of the paper, stamp, and a small quantity of sealing-wax and shellac. It is therefore not to be wondered at that the greatest desire prevails in the Treasury to introduce such improvements in this important branch of the revenue as will effectually do away with every temptation to the crime of for sstoatthperEesxecnitieqtouebre, which gea on far greater than the p ubl ic at large have any s sl i well ll parties as risk compute of lo idea of.
