HALF PREMIUM SYSTEM. —By this plan only one-half of the premiums, with interest of the retained halves, is required to be p aid for the first five years—the retained halves, being payable at the convenience of the assured, or allowed to continue, to form a • deduction from the claim on the Policy ; and as the As surance may he relinquished at any time without payment of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to assure for the first five years at little more than half the usual rate, and to dtscontinue a l'olicy at about one-half the usual sacrifice. WHOLE WORLD POLICIES are granted, whereby the security of a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the assured life should go beyond the prescribed limits. Sums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining specified age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur. PARTNERSHIP POLICIES are granted, whereby a joint assurance effected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in vested. OD the death of either, the survivor is benefited by retain ing the whole capital, and the representatives of the deceased obtain their share without having to wait until it can be recovered from outstanding debts. There is no extra charge for residence beyond 35 degrees of the equator. No Admission or'Entrance Fees are required, nor is any charge made for the Policy beyond the amount of the Stamp. Claims are payable within three months after proof of the death of the assured life. • The usual Commission allowed to Solicitors, and also to persons, .approved by the Board, who extend the business of Life Assurance in connexion with this Company.

" suffered most dreadfully for the last six years front repeated attacks of the gout, and receiving no benefit from the best medical advice I could obtain, I was induced about six weeks ago to try a box of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills. When I commenced taking them, which was in the afternoon, my feet and elbows were very much swollen and inflamed : I was suffering the most intense agony. I had that night sound and refreshing sleep, and awoke in the morning comparatively free from pain ; and before I had finished the box, I never was better in my life : they have not only entirely removed the gout, but have also very much improved my general health. I have since recommended them to four individuals, who have suffered much from gout and rheumatism ; and tt'ey all speak highly of the benefit they have received from them. If you think my case worthy of insertion among the many cures effected by your wonderful medicine, you are at perfect liberty to publish it. " I am, Sir, yours respectfully, " J. J. WILSON." The above testimonial exhibits the never-failing effects of this valuable medicine, which affords to the afflicted with gout, rheuma tism, lumbago, sciatica, and all analogous complaints, speedy and certain relief. They require neither confinement nor attention of any kind, and Invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach, brain, or other vital part.

The fact wag, they withheld a great dead of evidence, and it was under those circumstances Mr. Ofee thought it more prudebt to decline pressing the charge further. Alderman Musonovn said that altered the case, and after cautioning the prisoner as to his future conduct discharged him. SOUTHWARK. George Knight, a blacksmith in the Borough.road, was charged with cruelly ill treating three of his children, the eldest not more than ten years of age. Policeman 250 L stated that while walking along his beat in Little Surrey-street, at a late hour on Saturday night; his attention was arrested on observ ing three little boys thinly clad and without shoes or stockings standing shivering at the door of one of the houses. He questioned them, and found that they had been dragged out of bed a short time previously by their father, who beat and kicked them in a savage manner, one of them eight years of age, having a severe wound on the head, the effects of a kick given by his parent in the heat of passion. On further inquiry into the matter the policeman ascertained that the prisoner's wife was forced to leave him some time ago in consequence of his brutality, • and with her children she took up her abode at a house in Surrey street. Here the prisoner called on the night in question, and finding his wife from home, he went up stairs, woke up the children, and because they could give him no information as to where their mother was to be found he dragged them - out of bed, and pro ceeded to beat and kick them in the ruffianly manner described. The, landlady of - the house stepped forward and confirmed the children's account of the brutal treat ment they experienced at the hands of their father, and a poor emaciated woman, who represented herself to be the,ptisoner's wife, got into the witness box .and g•alte firhetaount of his scandalous -eutlduct to her and their children, stating that he was in the habit of earning a good deal of money, all of which he spent in dissipation, and that she was forced to leave him and support herself and family by going out to work as a charwoman. The prisoner endeavoured to palliate his conduct by asserting that his children were in the habit of telling falsehoods, and that it was to break them of this habit that he used coercive measures. He denied having kicked them. Mr. A'BECKBT said it was apparent the prisoner's conduct, both to mother and children, was of the most brutal and unmanly description, and that he should inflict a penalty of 41. on him, or in default commit him for two months. The prisoner asked what his family were to do if he was locked up ? The MAGISTRATE said they would do much better without a man who exhibited such ruffianly behaviour to them. SMITHFIELD CLUB PRIZE CATTLE-SHOW. By the courtesy of the committee we were last night admitted to a p-ivate, or what, through usage, has come to be designated a "press" view, of the Christmas exhibition of prize cattle, at the show yen), King-street, Portman-square, which will be open to the public on this and the three successive days of the present week. Tne show is one that cannot but prove most interesting, not only to those who are immedi ately connected with agriculture, but to all who appreciate the vast national importance of improve ments in the res rustica, and we are pleased to record the fact that in every respect it may be classed as upon a parity is ith the best of previous exhibitions. In point of number, and as compared with last year, its superiority is apparent at the mearest glance ; the en. tries in all classes last year amounting to 208, whilst on the present occasion they are 275. Perhaps there never was a show at which so keen a competition pre vailed. Heretofore the beast or sheep which has carried off a gold medal has almost invariably home some characteristics which at once struck the - looker-on as evidences of its relative excellence ; but not so on this occasion. The stock is all of first-rate quality, and to the tyro in agricultural matters - the adjudication of a first prize would prove—if he were an honest man—a matter of extreme difficulty. These remarks apply, however, more to the competition in neat cattle than to sheep, or pigs, though in each of these departments, particu larly in the former, there is a degree of excellence displayed both in feeding and breeding that is most commendable. 'The Hereford ox of Mr. Richard Jones, of Woodatone Lodge, near Petersborough, to which was awarded the gold medal for the best ox or steer, the first prize of 30 soya, and a silver medal, was a perfect animal of the sort, and fully justified the handsome awards made to its feeder and breeder. The connoisseur in what constitute the " good points" of an animal would find in this oz combined every thing that goes to form a symmetrical beast—the broad and short forehead, the tapering nose and jaw. the fine muzzle, the gently-arched neck, the small and fine head, the well set shoulder, the round barrel, without a hollow big enough to place your hand between it and the shoulders, the ribbed home sides, the compact belly, the wide and round hips, the straight and flat back, the fore legs straight, clean and fine•boned, thighs full, long, and close together when viewed from behind, large and open nostrils and fine animated eyes. The system of overfeeding seems to have been almost entirely abandoned. We noticed the first alteration in this practice lastyear ; and on the present occasion the change is still more remarkable. But it should not be forgotten that though prize oxen and sheep have sometimes been fattened to a distressing Qxtent, the experiment has not been without its utility, albeit unperceived and unappreciated by persons who are mere theoretical, and not practical, agriculturists. A good grazier will tell you that breed, the nature of the diet, its quantity, and the time of fattening are all points to be taken into consideration. Hence the accumulation of fat is rs.garded in the light of a test by which the properties of such and such breeds are tried. A well-informed writer upon the subject has truly observed that "An ox is fattened for exhibition beyond a useful marketable condition, by way of showing the capacity of the breed for acquiring, at the least expense of food, and at the earliest age, such a condition as the public demand really ren ders necessary." At all events, the present exhibi tion, as a whole, will not be open to objection on that score; an we have no doubt that the sale will be profitable alike to grazier and butcher ; and that very many of her Majesty's lieges will, on the recurrence of Christmas-day, fully estimate the value of the attention and pains which are devoted to the production of such glorious specimens of English beef as grace the show-yard of the Smith- field Club cattle show. But if the show . of oxen was good, not less admirable was that of cows and heifers. The short•horned cow of Mr. Wiley, of Brandsby, near York, to which were awarded the first prize of 201, the gold medal for the feeder, and a silver medal to the breeder, was a superb animal, and displayed all the qualities which are described in the following quaint but pleasing lines : " She's long in her face, and fine in her horn; She'll quickly get fat without cake or corn; She's clean in her jaws, and full in her chine; She's heavy in flank, and fine in her loin. " She's broad in her ribs, and long in her rump; A straight and flat back, without ever a bump; She's wide in her hips, and calm in her eyes; She's fine in her shoulders, end thin in her thighs. " She's light in her neck, and small in her tail; Shes wide at the breast, and good at the pail; She's fine in her bone, and silky of skin; She's a gray cc's without, and a butcher's within," In that department of the show which is allotted to sheep we ob , erved that the Duke of Richmond ful filled the promise he made at the last annual dinner of the: club ; and that his pen of three 83 months old south dawn wethers, bred acid fed by himself, carried off the prize of 20/. and a silver medal ; and that his pen of three 21 months old southdown wethers carried off the prize of 10 sovi. for one-year old short woolled sheep. The Prince Consort was an exhibitor in several classes, and, as will be found upon reference to the list of prizes below, in more than one instance, a successful exhibitor. More beautiful animals—if anything porcine can be called " beautiful "—than his Royal Highness's pen of pigs we never saw. The show of implements was choice, and comprised all the best specimens of machinery that have re ceived the approval of the agricultural public at the country meetings of the Royal Agricultural Society of England. The exhibitors of roots and seeds were Messrs. Thomas Gibbs and Co., of Half Moon-street; Mr. Skirving, of Liverpool ; and Messrs. George Gibbs and Co , of London.

Saturday being the commission day of the winter zaol delivery for this county, the Learned Judges, Mr. Justice ‘Vightman and Mr. Justice Talfourd, arrived in this town and opened the commission. Yesterday their Lordships attended divine serrice, and this morning opened the courts at eleven o'clock. Mr. Justice IVightman charged the grand jury in the Crown Court; Mr. Justice Talfourd took his seat in the court usually appropriated to Nisi Prius business. The calendar contains the names of 87 prisoners, of whom 7 are charged with murder, 18 with burglary, 14 with cutting and wounding and stabbing, 4 with manslaughter, 6 with forgery, 2 with rape, 10 with night poaching, the remainder for minor offences. CitOWN COURT.—(Before Justice \VICE:I7'MAX.) Darby Illoggins was charged with stabbing Bartley Macdermott, with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm. Mr. Sowler conducted the prosecution ; the pri soner was undefended. The case arose out of a quarrel which took place in a lodging-house in Manchester, where the prose cutor and the prisoner were lodgers. It appeared that on the 28th of September, the prisoner was in the kitchen, quarrelling with some Irish women who were with him ; the prosecutor hearing the noise, went from his bed-room into the kitchen, to stop the quarrel, and having ordered the prisoner to go out, the latter told him, if he dill not leave him alone, he would stab him with the knife which he then held in his hand ; the prosecutor still interfered, and the prisoner stabbed him with a pocket-knife in the back ; the women then interfered, and the prisoner was given into custody. Fortunately the wound turned out to be a very slight one. His LORDSHIP having summed up, the jury re turned a verdict of guilty of a common assault. The Learned JUDGE, after reprobating the use of the knife, sentenced the prisoner to six months' im prisonment. William Smith was indicted for stabbing Michael Malone, with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm. Mr. Cross conducted the prosecution. It appeared that the prosecutor and a man named Andrew Lynch went together to a public-house in Saville- street, Manchester, where they found the prisoner, with whom the prosecutor had been previ ously acquainted. After a little time they left the public-house, and when in the road a quarrel took place. The prosecutor and the prisoner grappled, and in the struggle they fell to the ground, and then the prosecutor felt something stabbing him in the head, which it appeared was occasioned by a small penknife, which was after wards picked up near the place of the struggle. _ _ _ In this case also the jury found the prisoner Guilty of a common assault. Sentence, six months' im prisonment. Thomas Mason was likewise indicted for cutting and wounding William Connell Hackstone, with tent, &c. Mr. Cobbett prosecuted ; Mr. Joseph Pollock de fended the prisoner. It appeared that on the night of the Bth of October the prosecutor, who is a blacksmith at Manchester, saw the prisoner creating a disturbance at a public house opposite his shop. The prosecutor coughed ; and the prisoner, who was in liquor, immediately crossed over and struck the prosecutor several times with a heart trowel, which cut him in the arm and leg, and which had to be dressed by a surgeon for a fort. night ; the wound was not, however, very severe. The prisoner likewise assaulted and struck the pro- secutor's father, who had assisted his son in the affray. Mr. JOSEPH PoLtocs addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner. Verdict—Guilty of a common assault. The prisoner was then indicted for a similar offence, and the jury returned a similar verdict. His LORDSHIP sentenced the prisoner to seven ca lendar months' imprisonment. (Before Mr. Justice TALFOURD.) The Court was occupied in trying Mint cases of the ordinary character. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. George Alexander Collie, of No. 40, Bermondsey square, was again brought up before Mr. Alderman Musgrove ' charged with stealing 48 shar es i n th e Friesland Gaslight Company, value 1,0001., and also with appropriating to his own use two sums of money to the amount of 361., which were intrusted to him to pay away, the property of Mr. George Ogle, of No. 4, Great Winchester-street, solicitor. Alderman Muscaova asked if the prosecutor was in attendance ? Hedington (the officer) said he wai not. Alderman MUSGROVH asked what was the reason ? The Chief Clerk said that Mr. Ogle appeared to think that he could not obtain a conviction in consequence of being unable to get at certain shares for the pur pose of having them identified, and therefore he did not wish to offer further evidence. Alderman MUSGROVE said, it appeared as if the prosecutor and prisoner had compromised a felony, and he certainly would not be a party to any such proceeding. The Chief Clerk said, the prisoner was remanded for the production of further evidence. Alderman Muscßovn could scarcely think that a professional man would compromise so serious a charge with his own clerk. He wished Mr. Ogle had attended, and then he could have dealt more satisfactorily with the case. kiedingtoa (the officer) informed the Alderman WESTMINSTER. Joanna Brown and Maria Forbes, the former of whom is a well-known thief, were charged with viole him. ntly assaulting and wounding a man, and robbing The prisoners were committed for trial at the Central Criminal Court, when a former conviction against Brown will be produced. THAMES. William Peele, a musician and pianoforte maker, aged 32, w.ts brought before Mr. Sacker, who presided in the absence of Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing a silver watch and appendages, two silver table spoons, a pair of silver sugar tongs, and two shawls, in all value 101., the property of his father, Mr. Dennis Peele, a gentleman of high respectability, residing at No. 232, High-street, Wapping. Mr. SfiCRER said this was a most painful case, and as the father and step-mother of the prisoner intended to prosecute, he must commit him for trial ' • but, as the case was not yet complete, he would for the present be remanded till Saturday. CLERICENWELL. Mr. Henry Delaney, civil engineer, of Cumming street, Pentonville, appeared before Mr. Combe, pursuant to his recognizance, charged by Mrs. Jane Rose, of No. 6, Mount Pleasant, with having violently assaulted her. Mr. Humphries attended for the defendant. The particulars of the case have already been fully detailed in the newspapers. Mr. COM ikE said he would sand the case before a jury if Mr. Rose pressed for such a course. Mr. Rose suggested that he only wished the sur geon's bill should be paid. Mr. Humphries said that the story of prosecutrix was improbable. A person of his client's respectability waajncapable of the conduct attributed to him, and feeling his innocence of the charge, neither himself nor his friends would yield to any compromise of the case. Mr. Delaney was then ordered to find one respect able housekeeper as his bail to appear at the ses,ions to answer the charge, which he did, and he was liberated, when he left the court with a host of friends. MARYLEBONE VESTRY.—At the meeting of the Maryhbone Vestry, on Saturday, the report of the corn. rnittee appointed to answer the allegations which had been preferred against the Vestry by the Almshouse. Board of Management, was brought under consideration. It is necessary to state, in order that the question may be understood, that in the year 1833, there having been II dispute between the Vestry and the Imperial Gas Company as to the performance of the contract by the latter, a fine of 500/. was inflicted by the Vestry on the company. A cheqns for that amount was paid by the company, and a few mouths back it was discovered that the cheve, which had b..en placed by the Vestry of 183:3 to the paving and lighting account, was made out in favour of the MArylebone Almshouses. Bence the charge of misappropriation made by the Almshouses Board of Management, and the demand that the Vestry should hand over to them the sum of 500/ Mr. Churchwarden Manatee presided. Tha report which was read at the previous meeting, and ordered to be printed, was then brought up. It was an exceed. ingly volumnious document, extending over 16 closely printed pages of foolscap. It completely exonerated the Vestry from all blame, and after giving the fade of the case at:great length, it concluded as follows :—" These facts are convincing proofs that the appropriation made was right, and any other would have been illegal. The Vestry Committee strongly condemn the report of the Almshouses Board of the 20th of October, 1849, con taining, as it did, a tissue of unwarrantable charges against the Vestry and its officers. This would not have occurred it that Board had at the outset requested a joint committee, or examined the minutes and evidence laid before the Vestry in this report. The committee conclude by recommending the almshouse charity to the continued support of its present subscribers, and hope that this groundless claim may not injure their charity, and the committee desire that the present directors may be animated by the same good motives which actuated these who, in 1832, laid the foundation of the society." Mr. Bridgman, as the chairman of the committee, in the absence of Mr. Garnett, the original chairman, from ill-health, moved the adoption of the report, which after some discussion was egret d to by a majority of 59 to 1. THE iVEATHER.—The weather during the week has been again varied: rains, snow, sleet, frost, and storms of wind have prevailed. Yesterday the skies as sumed a brighter and more agreeab!o aspect; but the air was slightly colder than on Saturday. At Douglas, on Friday, a tremendous sea prevailed at the mouth of the bay, and occasionally the steamer King Orry, whilst entering the harbour in the trough of the sea, could not be seen from the pier-head. A similar storm has pre vailed on the east coast of Scotland, and an Aberdeen steamer was twice driven bach to port by its violence.— Liverpool Albion. BRUTAL ATTACK—CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC.— On the night of Tuesday last, or early on Wednesday morning, as a gentleman was passing down Gloucester ,quare, nearly opposite Hyde Park, he was suddenly attacked by a ruffianly-looking man, wearing a fur cap and a great coat, who pinioned his arms, thrust his hand against his mouth, and then rifled his pockets. The gentleman immediately raised an alarm, but there not being a policeman near the spot the scoundrel got off. A SOMNAMBULIST.—About five o'clock on Saturday morning last one of the workmen iu the employ of Mr. Evans. carver, of Little Paradise, Bedminster, and who resides in the house, whilst in a state of somnambulism, rose from his bed, and after throwing about the furni. ture in the room alarmed the neighbourhood by several loud cries of "Murder !" lle then jumped out of the window, a height of 12 or 14 feet, and, strange to say, alighted without in the least iejaiinr himself. lle then clambered over an out house, and after passing over several gardens and enclosures, scaling several palisade. in hit way, arrived at the boundary-wall of Mill lane, which is situate about 100 yards from Little Paradise. On getting into the lane, however, the exertion attendant upon his climbing over the wall awoke him, and Mr. Evans, who had gone in search of him, met the poor fellow in a state of nudity on Bt.dwins!er-causeway, greatly prostrated by cold and fatigue. Mr. Evans, however, conveyed him home, and having administered some brandy to him, he soon recovered.

MoNDAY NIGHT.—The award of the prizes for cattle, sheep, p*s, and poultry to be exhi bited at this show—th e first over held in the Midland Counties—to( k place this morning. The high expectations previously entertained were more than realized. The facilities of railway communication to nearly every part of the country, and the fact that in the Midland Counties there are many of the most eminent breeders and feeders of stock, appeared to warrant the conclusion that such an exhibition would prove a successful experiment, sad lead to valuable practical results. Amongst the chief promoters of the exhibition in Birmingham, and who, throughout the present year, have displayed the greatest zeal in its formation, hare been Mr. T. B. Wright, Mr. Tower, and Mr. Shackel. Those gentlemen having determired to make the attempt, their first object was to secure the patronage of the chief agriculturists resid,nt or holding property in the adjoining counties. In this they were eminently successful; for, amongst others, they speedily obtained the support of his Grace the Duke of Richmond, his Grace the Duke of Rut land, the Earl of Warwick, the Earl of Aylesford, Lord Leigh, the Earl of Dartmouth, Earl Talbot, Lord liatherton, and also of his Royal Highness Prince Albert. To those names may be added a long list of commoners, among whom are enrolled Sir Francis Lawley, Mr. Spooner, M.P ' Mr. Adderley, M.P., Mr. ICewdegate, M.P., an d distinguished landholders and practical farmers, and breeders of stock from various parts of the midland counties. It was proposed to raise the necessary funds by subscription, and a sufficient amount having been obtained a prize list was prepared suitable to the midland counties, and including all the most useful varieties of animals. in reference to fat cattle, a more complete classification was adopted than usual in lists of this nature, as without this classification, it was deemed impossible for jud ges t o d ec id e on the merits of the different breeds with satisfaction to themselves or the exhibitors in any way which should promote a general good object —the main object of the meeting being to encourage profitable and not expensive feeding. Certificates of age were, of course, to be required, and the cattle and sheep to be in the possession of the exhibitors previous to the show. The project, in its infancy, promised' well, and, in the course of a few months, it was ascertained that the entries would be numerous beyond all expecta tion. It was resolved, a few weeks ago, to erect an extensive wooden building in the neighbourhood of Bromsgrove-street, the land being granted for that purpose by Sir Thomas Gooch. This work was undertaken by Mr. Briggs, and executed by him to the entire satisfaction of the promoters of the show. Originally it was 330 by 100 feet wide, but ulti mately the applications of exhibitors were so numerous that it was found necessary to add another erection 75 by 45 feet. The stock, consisting of not fewer than 800 head of fat cattle, sheep, and pigs, arrived on Saturday, and the arrangements for the exhibition were fully completed that day. When the immense structure was lighted by gas at night, the scene was extremely pleasing, and judges of farming stock declared that in point of quality, the show of cattle and pigs, not to forget poultry, was far above the average of similar exhibitions held in other parts of the kingdom. The show of pigs was deemed to be unequalled on any former occasion. To-day the judges proceeded to examine the stock and award the various prizes. It will be seen that Prince Albert, the Duke of Rutland, the Earl of Aylesford, the Earl of Warwick, Lord Hatherton, Sir Francis Lawley, &c., were among the successful competitors. The following is a listof the prizes just awarded . OXEN OR STEERS. Class I.—Herefords.—First prize of 101. to the Right lion, the E%rl of Warwick, Warwick Castle, and a silver medal to the breeder, Mr. Juhn Wheeler, Trip pleton, near Lintwardine, Ludlow. Second prize of 5/. to Mr. H. Chamberlain, Desford, ❑ear Leicester. This class was highly commended by the judges. Class 2.—Devons.—First prize of 101. to his Royal Highness theTrince Albert ; and a sliver modal to the breeder, Mr. James Quartly, Molland, Devonshire. Second prize of 5/. to Mr. Thomas Ne mbold, Bagging. ton, near Coventry. Class 3.—Short liornr.—First prize of 10/. (and the gold medal for the best fat ea or steer in the yard) to his Grace the Duke of Rutland, Belvoir Castle, Lincoln shire ; and also a silver medal to his Grace, as breeder.

Mr. Ball, Bretforton, m ar Evesham, Worcestershire. The exhibition tomorrow and the three succeeding days will doubtless be visited by thousands. Strangers are arriving "in droves," by trains from al 1 parts of the Midland Counties. AN UNUSUAL OCCURRENCE.—Yesterday morning an occurrence which of late has become like angels' visits, " few and far between"—a duel, took place close to Wormwood-scrubs. It appears 'hitt about, seven o'clock, just as day was breaking, a postchaise, belonging to Mr. R. Newman, the well-known postmaster of Regent-street, which contained two gentleman, was observed to turn from the Uxbridge-road at Shepherd's bush, up Wood-lane, leading to Wormwood-scrubs, and was in two or three minutes followed by a gentleman's carriage, in which were also two gentlemen, and behind the latter was a gentleman r n horseback, who is suppose d to have been a surgeon. The parties by whom they were seen followed up the lane, and cn reaching nearly to the top found that they had not gone on to the Scrubs, but, had got out in the lane, and got over the fence into a meadow belonging to Mr. John Pain, the proprietor of Old Oak farm. Information of the affair was dispatched to the police as soon as the pat tes were observed, but their movements were so prompt that almost as soon as the persons who followed them could get to the part where the carriage and postchaise were standing, the road being very rough, two shots were fired, and in less than five minutes the five gentlemen returned over the fence together, the one supposed to be the surgeon irstantly jumping on his horse and gal loping off, whilst the other four gentlemen, who aippeared to be on friendly terms, got into the carriage, which im mediately drove off, followed by the empty postchaise. After the vehicles bad got some little distance down the lane, they were met by a sergeant and constable of police, but, observing their approach, the carriage was driven swiftly on, and the police did not interrupt theit progress; and on reaching the end of Wood-lane, they returned towards town. All that could be gleaned from the drivers of the vehicles, by the party who followed them, was that one of the principals was a gentleman well known on the turf, and the other a member of a club in St. James's-street. It is said that all the parties can be identified by those who saw them. THE LATE ME. ITENDRT.—INTE are enabled to state, upon the very best authority, that the deceased Mr. Hendry, whose remains were exhumed in London, was, up to the period °lbis death, constantly attended by three of the most eminent medical gentlemen of Glasgow. We ate in possession of the names of the gentlemen alluded to; one of whom, we understand, was no con stem, in his attendance upon the deceased, that he slept in the same room with his patient up to the hour of the death of the latter. This is so far satishwtory, that it entirely puts aside any idea of foul play.—Worth British Mail. GLASGOW, DEC. 8.
