He would propose to them, there fore, with as much sincerity as possible—" Prosperity to the town of Petersfield." C. GREETIJAM, Esq., as one of the oldest inhabitants of Peters&ld, in acknowledging this toast, said he had banked with Messrs. Hector and Lacy for twenty-four years, and if during that time he wanted any assistance, he always had it from them with good will. He could name hundreds upon hundreds of occasions, where their liberality had been shown, and many instances in which they had saved a man and his family from ruin. He would mention one :—a respectable man had died, owing them a considerable sum of money ; the widow saw Mr. Hector, and expressed her distress at it ; Mr. Hector said to her " Never mind—you'll pay me by and by." —Shortly after her son applied for a farm ; the pro prietor of it, mentioned the application to Mr. Hector, and told him he could not let him (the son) have it— " Why not ?" said Mr. Hector—" Because, replied the proprietor, he cannot stock it." Mr. Hector rejoined " Then I will for him."—(Cheers.) The son took a lease of the farm, and Mr. Hector was as good as his word ; he stocked the farm for him ; that son had since supported his mother, and, thank God, he was doing well in the world ; he (Mr. G.) would not name him, but he was now present, and would no doubt be proud to ac- - knowledge what had been represented.--(Loud cheers.) Mr. Greetham concluded by eulogising the conduct of Mr. George Young, the clerk of Messrs. Hector and Lacy, who had'been in their service eighteen years ; he was a young man 'of integrity and ability, and was always obliging in the extreme ; he would, therefore, propose the " Health of Mr. George Young"—Three times three. Mr. YOUNG returned thanks. The CHAIRMAN next gave " Prosperity to the Trade of Portsmouth." • Mr. BcTRSE (of Portsmouth) acknowledged the toast, and said he was delighted to have this opportunity of publicly avowing his: extreme gratitude for the many kindnessei he had received - from the hands of Messrs. HeCtOr and Lacy. He had had the pleasure of doing business with them for twelve years, and during that time he experienced from them extreme liberality and good advice, and he believed not one look of displea sure.—(Cheers.) They took to him, he may say, a stran ger from the eastern part of Sussex, and they had ever since proved kind and dear friends. Finding there was a favourable prospect of doing good abroad, and it being the duty of every parent to do his utmost to benefit his family, he went to Messrs. Hector and Lacy, his bankers, and stated his views; they replied most cheerfully, " By all means, Burne, you shall have what you want," and the next post brought him a letter from Mr. Hector that would have enabled bim to supply his wants tenfold.— (Cheers.) Did not this kind act corroborate what others had this clay stated ? He had not -language to express what ha felt towards such kind friends as they had proved to_ him. The late esteetncvl firm was now taken up by the London and County Bank, and he heartily wished them every success: Bad Messrs. Hector and Lacy resumed business his name would have remained on their books; that not being the case he considered he was at liberty, not for one moment doubting the.honour and respectability of the Company, but living at Ports mouth (and every one would admit it more convenient to bank in the town where they reside) to remove hi s ac count to Messrs. Grant and Gillinan's. He concluded by wishing Messrs. Hector and Lacy every happiness this world could afford them and their tamilies.—(Applause.) Many other toasts succeeded.—The utmost conviviality and cordial feeling reigned throughout the evening, and the party did not separate until a late hour. IRELAND. CITY ELECTION. DUBLIN, JAN. 9.—Mr. Gregory's address has not yet appeared ; but there seems to be no doubt that he has consented to start on the Tory interest, but under strict limitations. It is only by a most profuse ex penditure that the Tories can hope to retain the seat. This was the cause of all the delay in obtaining a candi date, and of the many refusals to come forward, from Mr: Gregory amongst the rest. In the first instance, that gentleman (who is only just of age) offered 4,0001. After tailing in England, the Tory managers gladly ac cepted him, and they are now endeavouring to make up the remainder of the necessary funds. It is said that the sum of 2,0001. is to be obtained through the Castle, from the Carlton Club and some leading members of the' Gpvernment, and it is expected that 2,000 L more will be i ntade up by a general subscription here. So that you wilLsec the Liberals are threatened with a most for midable , opposition, as there are, at least, one thousand of the old freemen accessible to bribery. IV hen.. everything is arranged—that is to say, when the other 4,000/. shall beguaranteed, Mr. Gregory will lodge that amount as his contribution, and then his ad dress 4in appear. The Reformers continue to work with great energy, but certainly they, will require assistance from England. A number of patriotic gentlemen, residing in this coun try, have forwarded subscriptions. Amongst those re ceived _yesterday are- 7 -Mr. Tighe, of Woodstock, 101. ; Mr. Chalenor s agent to Lord Fitzwilliam, 10/. ; Caleb Powel, Limerick, 10L ; Mr. Blackuey, D.L., county of Carlow, 5L All the parishes of Dublin are actively organising ; the utmost enthusiasm prevails, and the Liberals are quite sanguine in their expectations of carryiug Lord Morpeth triuMphantly. BANQUET AT THE - MANSION-TIOUSE. The LOrd Mayor has invited all the members of the Town COUncil to a splendid entertainment, to be given at the Mansion-hOUse on the 18th instant. The invita tions are limited to the Aldermen and Councillors, with two exceptions only, namely, the Protestant and Roman Catholic Archbishops of Dublin, Dr. Whateley and Dr. Murray, both of whom have been specially invited. THE MARQUIS OF WATERFORD. The gentry of the county of Tipperary, of all creeds and parties, assembled at Clonmel on Monday,to expresS their regret and indignation at the malicious act ofpoisoning his Lordship's hounds in the covert of Drangan. Stephen Moore, Esq., of Barn, presided. The Chairman, Mr Barton, Mr. Lalor (the High Sheriff), and the other speakers, agreed in representing the peasantry of the district as exceedingly attached to Lord Waterford, and in acquitting them of the crime of poisoning his hounds. As an illustration of this, the Chairman mentioned that thousands of the peasantry had assembled at Killough hill, on Saturday, in order to cheer the Noble Marquis, and to show him, by a true Irish welcome, that they would discountenance the perpetration of any act that could, by possibility, give offence to him. SHORT WEIGHT OF UNION BREAD. At the Hertford Petty Sessions, last week, a case, which had previously occupied the attention of the Bench a considerable time at their last sitting, was again brought before their notice, on a renewed application by the assistant overseer of .the parish of Hatfield, to take proceedings against one of the contractors, who had en gaged to supply the maion with bread, for sending out bread of short weight ; as his contract was to supply loaves of the weight of four pounds each, and such being the description of loaves persons in the receipt of paro chial relief were ordered to receive.—The overseer said, his attention was called to the circumstance by a woman who: had been ordered six four-pound loaves a week, complaining that two of the loaves she re ceived were only three pounds each. He then de sired all the paupers when they got their bread to have it weighed. They did so, but not in the con tractor's shop, for they took it to a butcher's shop ad joining, who weighed it for them, ar.d found the loaves generally from four to six ounces short of weight each. The overseer was prepared with evidence of these facts, if the Bench would grant A summons against the party to answer the charge.—The Bench considered the sub ject most attentively, but though they reprobated in strong terms this cruel and heartless fraud on the poor, they said the subject did not come within their jurisdiction, as there did not appear to be any provision in the Bread Act to punish persons for selling bread short of weight. There was a penalty prescribed for persons using any other than the usual atoirdupois weights, and individuals might at all times demand to have the bread weighed in the shop ; but if they did not do so, and got bread short of weight, there was no proceedings which the Magis trates in Petty Sessions could adopt to punish for the fraud.—Hertford Reformer. [The Justices appear to us to have come to an erroneous decision. They are not called upon to apply the Bread Act, but the common law, or some statute directed against fraud. The Bread Act requires the bread to be weighed, and those who purchase it may either pay for less than 4 lb., or insist on having 4 lb. of bread. If the seller uses false weights, that is a different kind of fraud, and punishable by the common law, or some particular statute. In the case of this contractor, he had not sold 41b. loaves—he had committed a fraud, according to the statement, under a contract. The decision of the Ma gistrates, if generally acted on, as no doubt it will be, goes to encourage cheating and plundering the poor. In the eyes of county Magistrates, however, cheating and starving the poor must be venial offences, for of them all the landowners are habitually guilty.] DEATH OF A PAUPER NINETY-EIGHT YEARS OF AGE IN ST. PANCRAS WORKH itiSE.-OR Monday an inquisition was taken before Mr. Wakley, M.P., at the Elephant and Castle, King's-road, Camden-town, on the body of William Burke, aged 98, formerly a gentle man of independent fortune, and companion of his Ma jesty George the Fourth, in his early days, when Prince of Wales, but late an inmate of St. Pancras Workhouse. Mary Burke, the deceased's wife, but his junior by some years, and who, from her manners, had seen better days, said that on Sunday week herself and deceased availed themselves of the privileges of the house and went out to see some friends residing in Bedfordbury, to which place they both walked. Towards evening he complained of an affection at his chest and shortness of breath. In consequence they did not return back to the workhouse until the following Tuesday. He be came worse, and one of the medical attendants wished him to be cupped, but he refused. At his desire he was set upright in a chair with pillows in It, during the night, before the fire, in which . position, between two and three o'clock on the morning of Wednesday he suddenly breathed his last. Verdict, " Natural Death." It is an extraordinary fact that the deceased's father died at the age of 102 years, his grandfather at the age of 104, and he has now a brother living in the country at the advanced age of 101 years. On Thursday last the remains of the late Hugh Hepburn Scott, Baron Polwarth, were removed from his mansion to the family vault at Mertoun. The funeral was attended by his sons and other immediate relatives of the family, by a numerous assemblage of his tenantry, and all the members of his household,—Kelso Mail.

TO _THE EDITOR OF THE SbN. • Sni—A. factitious prosperity was acquired by the land daring the war, when corn could not be imported, and when, notwithstanding the Ber lin and Milan decrees, issued against our trade, manufactures were freely exported; our navy protecting the seaboard, and, we being the only carriers for the world, also c9erced the commerce of other countries not in amity with us. The landlord in consequence of this factitious pros perity, changed his retired habits and a coun try-life, to indulge in ostentatious and expensive pursuits,—the land being also required to supply food for a rapidly-increasing population, en couraged by relaxation in the practice of the Poor-laws, which began at this time, to fill up • the gaps in the army an d navy, an d to supply fOod - fur distant armies, and the colonies which did not grow sufficient corn. In the absence of freedom of supply from other countries, price, bei n g entirely governed by demand, bankers and capitalists fr2ely; • and without risk, :lent money to augment the produce of the land. Agriculture was then in its pahny days, and in high prosperity; so also was commerce, Great Britain being at that time the workshop, com e mercial warehouse, and mart of the world. But this prosperity of the land was factitious, not • stable ; since the capital borrowed to increase the supply of food to the demand, in the absence of the competition of foreign supply, was lent in a paper circulation, and a base and depreciated currency ; upon mortgages of estates, which, whilst their products commanded war prices, wore a false lustre, beguiling only the owners, and not the wary banker, and money lender; and has been repaid, if at all, by the lender's foreclosinc , upon land bought at that time, or upon which money was borrowed : and these injuries and this improvidence are now attempted to lie redressed, by fraud, committed upon poverty, which being the weakest, and having few, scanty, and ill. protected rights, is thus driven to despair; and also by the protection of land, to sustain the pro fligate and ostentatious career of the landlord. Taxation was not complained of; till the land became oppressed, when the landlord invaded the estate of poverty, and not contented with the mischief he has thus perpetrated, is sordidly acting upon the excitable misery lie has caused, by 'an outcry against the Poor-law; the only treacherous help he has left to poverty ; all the while the landlord being the lawmaher. Thus in aggravation of injustice, is perpetrated a gross and fanatical delusion, that the sin may be more easily covered and connived at; the first might have been generously forgiven, and attributed to ignorant and blind legislation, had not its true character of fraud become exposed in the second. bv continuing the injustice under a base and wicked disguise.—Your obedient servant, A. FORGE RS PARIS ' SUNDAY, JAN. 9.—1 am enabled to transmit you some details of the discovery of a most extraordinary system of forgeries and of swindling carried on by a gang whose operations were destined to extend over Europe. The banking and mercantile interests of the Continent have just escaped another great peril which menaced to render all commercial operations of a most precarious and uncertain nature. It appears that Mr. Massey, a money-changer, of 116, Leadenhall-street, was recently defrauded of 1,300/. The particulars were thus given in the following advertisement in yesterday's Galignani, which, for reasons v: hick will appear below, it is necessary to repeat here : "FIVE THOUSAND FRANCS REWARD— FR A-11D. " Whereas the midermentioned bank-notes were frau dulently obtained from a house in the City on Wednes day,.lst December, 1841, by a foreigner, by means of forged checks upOn a Belgian bank, known' by the title of Societe General,: pour favoriseil'lndustrie Nationale,' supposed to be a Frenchman or Belgian, of gentlemanly address, using the name of Ranvier, liaaier, or Randin, age from thirty-five to forty, about five rat .five or six. inches high, still made, head bald, reddish hair and whiskers, forehead high and full, face rather marked with the smallpox, or strongly freckled; speaks English with a foreign accent, and sometimes wears a false beard, corresponding in colour with his hair and whiskers, viz.: — "The Irish notes have' Massey, London,' stamped on them. 1 for 3001.

The sum of 1,300 francs, part of the above reward, will be paid to any person who shall cause the individual de signated to be apprehended, and the further sum of 150/. will be paid on the conviction of the party and recovery of the notes so obtained, or in proportion to the quantity of property which may be recov e red. A n d the public are particularly cautioned-against taking the said notes, or any of them:, payment of the same having been stopped at the Bank of England. All information to be addressed to Mr. T. Bryon, at the little Park of Monceaux,•No. 15, Rue du Valois du Houle, Paris." It seems that Mr. Massey spared no expense in tracing the individuals, and employed, for that pur pose the able officer of the Mansion-house, Daniel Forester, who repaired to Paris, accompanied by Mr. Rutter, the cashier of Mr. Massey's firm, who changed the ,notes. At Boulogne, two individuals were traced, one named Ranyiers, and the other named Carolus DanellO. The former, upon inquiry, it was found got down at St. Denis, near Paris, but all trace of the latter was lost sight of, although the books of the police at the Prefecture-were searched. length Mr. Bryon, who is an agent here fora the protection of the British commercial interests in France against fraud, and who superintended the arrest at Marseilles of Gavin Scott, the Glasgow cashier of the house of Macgregor, in conjunction with John Forester, the Mansion-house officer, having been left here with full authority from Daniel Forester,was examining some-days since the pass ports at the Prefecture, when ..he was struck by the name of Carolus Danello.: It should 'here be mentioned that the persons who Mr.; Alassey were a Pole named Romanzow, another Pole named Peressel, and a Madame Danell, also a native of Poland. Mr. Bryon suggested to the authorities' that it Was pOssible that the name of Carolus Danello might be really' the name of a woman, and that Caroline might be altered to-Carolus, and Danell to Danello; as it appeared from the police re gister at Boulogne that .the passport. of Danello had evi dently been given at the Prefeetitre on the 28th 'Of March. The books were referred to, and Mr. Bryon's suspicions completely confirmed, for the. woman's name.was found. A police agent was immediately sent to. the address she gave, but at this address - she had not been heard of since the month of June last. Mr. Bryon, by the instruc tions of Daniel Forester, had a number of bills printed, a copy of the above advertisement in GAignani. The day following the appearanee of these 'bills (Wednes day last,) Madame Danell went to the Prefecture, ac companied by a man named Peressel, and Romanzow, alias Danello, alias Ranyiers. Madame Danell and Peressel were( immediately taken into custody. She has black hair, is sun-burnt, and is of the middle sta ture. She seems to be about thirty-five years of age, very plain, with a gypsy-like expression. Romanzow, who was was waiting in the yard of the Prefecture, finding . that his two accomplices 'did not come out, and fearing that something was wrong, returned to their lodgings, and not having the key, broke the door open, and took away as much property as he could carry, particularly of the plates and Belgian forged notes, be sides Prussian dollar notes and moneys. W hen the police arrived Romanzow had decamped. - The authorities set all the telegraphic lines in France at work, and agents were despatched in every direction. It is not supposed, however, that he has .quitted : Paris, and- his. arrest in the course of this day was confidently expected. The Mi nister of the Interior, the Prefect of Police, and the French authorities have made the most indefatigable exertions. M. Allard, Chief of the Police of Surete, has lent every assistance to discover the traces of the extensive forgeries committed by the gang on different Governments of Europe, to the prejudice and injury of every commer cial interest. The woman Danell has a son about eight years of age. She has confessed everything. She states that in London they resided at Mr. Brown's, wine and spirit merchant, -Blue Anchor Tavern, St. Mary-hill, Lower Thames-street. It also appears that there is a company existing in Belgium to forge , passports, which are to be obtained at 100 francs each, for any country and in any language. A number of Prussian dollar forged bills were found at the lodgings, in an un finished state. The way the water-mark was fabricated is curious. The letters are stamped out of the paper, by a cutter out of the. centre of the note, and then pasted, two together, and thus the water-mark becomes visible by holding it up to the light. The following money, changers, who have been defrauded by the Prussian dollar notes, have been to the . Pre£ cture to be- con 7 fronted with theprisoners o,Aober, 1838, M. Cuche, changer of the Rue Coq, St. Honore, to the amount - of, 2,663 francs, about 107/. ; Boulanger, Of the Rue Castig ' hone, 1,500 f. (60/.) ;M. ire, of 32, Galerie "'Vivienne, on the 28th of April last, of 5,800 f. (2321.) The greatest sensation has been created by these dis coveries, and the woman' is still under examina tion at the moment lam writing. I will send you addi tional information on this subject in my next communica tion. General Lehon, the Belgian Ambassador, has afforded every assistance to Mr. Bryon. There is rea son to believe that the notes of every country in Europe have been forged by this gang. At all events, Russian, Prussian, Austrian, and Belgian forged notes have been, and are. certainly, in circulation. I had omitted to state that a memorandum of a Si. Bank of England note, traced to the prisoners, bearing date the 12th of October, 1841, paid in by Mr. - Heath, of the Old Jewry, who received it from M;Fould, banker in Paris, on the 25th December last, to the Bank of England, was found at the lodgings of Romanzow, as the last note paid away by them, writ ten on a scrap of paper.—Morning Post. THE CANTON RANSOM.-011 Monday a por tion of the ransom paid by the Chinese for the evacuation of Canton, arrived in London, and was transferred to the Royal Mint, in which establishment it was deposited at two o'clock. The treasure was landed at Portsmouth, from her Majesty's frigate Conway, and thence conveyed to Gosport. A special train was engaged to bring the treasure by the Southampton railway to London, under an escort of the 32d regiment. On the arrival of the train at the Vauxhall terminus the bars of silver, about 100 in number, were transferred 'to 13 vans and carts, each drawn by two horses, and guarded by the 32d in command of an officer. The procession at tracted much notice from the people in the streets through which it passed, and upon its arrival on Tower-hill the mob was so great that the guard on duty at the Mint was immediately ordered under arms to clear a way for the vans and carts to advance, which they found some difficulty in effecting. so capr were the people to obtain a sight of the boxeS containing the treasure. The great gates having been thrown open, the vans and carts entered amidst loud cheering from the populace, among whom the greatest enthusiasm prevail. The value of the treasure is 550,0001. sterling, and consists of small bars and lumps of Sycee silver, the whole of which is to be melted down and refined, pre vious to its being converted into the current coin of the realm. Many years have elapsed since a treasure so valuable entered the metropolis. After the Spanish gal lions were taken, the money they contained was con veyed from Portsmouth to London in waggons, and en tered the metrepolis while the guns were firing to an nounce the birth of a Prince of Wales, afterwards George the Fourth. RUMOURED ACCIDENT AT COMBE DOWN, NEAR BATH.—A letter reached us yesterday morning, bearing the Bath post-mark, a signature apparently real, and every other mark of authenticity, which stated that on the evening of the preceding day a piece of ground, the surface of a stone quarry at the above village, had fallen in—that several houses and a church had been destroyed, and that the accident had been attended by the loss of many lives. After di ligent inquiry at the terminus of the Great Western Railroad, we do not find that any intelligence corrobo rative of this statement, which we published yesterday morning in a second edition, has been received. We cherish the hope, therefore, that the account may prove unfounded.We have sent the original letter to the Mayor of Bath, with a request that he will lend us his assistance to discover the heartless impostor, if it should turn out that an imposition has been practised upon us.—Morning Post. [We had strong doubts of the statements given in the letter addressed to our fashionable Contemporary, be cause the writer described the Post as a " popular journal," and:we could find no such paper•as the Warden in any list of newspapers. We' agree with the Post in reprobating such heartless conduct, and hope the impos tor will be discovered, and be made to climb for at last six months at the tread-mill.—En. Sun.] INSOLVENCY OF THE TOWN OF PAISLEY.— We learn that the Lord Advocate has requested the Procurator Fiscal for the district to forward an official report regarding the stoppage of payments by the town and the institution of the savings' fund by that corpora iono—GlaVow Courier.

From the evidence of deceased's parents, residing at No. 1, George-street, Limehouse, it appeared that between one and two o'clock on Saturday afternoon last, the mother had occasion to leave the room, in which was de ceased and her brother, a child four years of age. She had barely turned her back before she heard de ceased scream out, " Mother, Tommy is burning me." She immediately ran into the room, and found the de ceased with the whole of her clothes in flames. They were put out, and Mr. Cummings, a surgeon, sent for, but so serious were the burns, that she died soon after. Before her death, she stated that her brother set fire to her dress with a lucifer match. The Coroner said the child who committed the act was too young for the law to take cognizance of the offence ; and the Jury returned a verdict of—Accidental death. The Presse, which had stated, on the autho rity of a letter from Berlin, that the King of Prussia in tended to embark at Calais, for England, now states, from the same correspondent, that his Majesty . having been informed that the English squadron which is to ac company him will wait for him at Ostend, has chosen this port for embarkation, but that he will return to Derlua by Calais and Paris. • THE ROMANCE OF EMIGRATION. (From the Buffalo (United States) Advertiser.) About three weeks since a pretty and interesting young woman, with two fine children of the ages of one and three years, called at the office of our city clerk, inquiring for the Mayor. That officer was absent, but her sorrowful demeanour spoke so affectingly in her behalf, and although evidently in humble life, she seemed so intelligent and unassuming in her distress, that Mr. Lacy, the clerk, was led to ask the cause of her trouble, when she told him her brief story. She said her husband, whose name was Evans, left their native place ; Brecknock, in Wales, a year ago, to seek a new home for them in Ame rica, leaving them to follow when be should have found the desired spot, and earned the means to enable them to make the journey. He finally settled at Oak hill, Jackson County, in the southern part of the state of Ohio, where he worked industriously at his trade, that of a tailor, until he bad laid by 80 dollars for the passage-money of his family. This amount he enclosed to his wife, with directions as to the best route to reach her destination, which would be via Liverpool and New York. She accordingly bade adieu to her birth place, and started on her lone and distant voyage, cheered by the prospect of soon join ing her husband in their new western home. On ar riving at the nearest seaport on the coast she was per suaded by the mercenary Captain of a trading vesstl that it would be much cheaper to go by way of Quebec, whither he was bound, and she, therefore, took passage with him. It was two long months before the tardy craft reached port, and during this time, her stock having been ex hausted, she was compelled to purchase from the Cap tain, at his own rtes, a supply for the wants of herself and her children. The extortion to which her inexperience made her an easy prey, and the increased expenses of the inconvenient route she had ignorantly taken, left her without a sidling on her arrival at Buffalo. She was still 500 miles from her journey's end, without a friend or acquaintance, truly a helpless stranger in a .strange land, with her little children looking up to her for food ! The energies of a woman's nature, 33 strikingly developed by neces sity, did not leave her to despair. She obtained shelter for herself and her children in a cellar-room in the Towbridge block, for which she had to pay ss. a week, and succeeded in procuring a little sewing from a clothing-shop, which barely realised as much money as paid for their gloomy lodging and coarse and scanty tare. She wrote a letter to her hus band, informing him of their arrival and destitute situation ; but weeks wore away in cruel suspense, while she wrote again and again ; and on the return of each post learned with a heavy heart that it had brought no letter for her. At length her employer had no more work for her, and she was obliged to pledge articles of clothing to pro cure necessary food. This wretched resource now failed, several weeks' rent were due, and in her ex tremity she thought of applying to the Mayor for ad vice and relief. Tile poor woman's simple statement touched the manly heart of Mr. Lacy. He commenced a subscription, and Mr. Williams, a countryman, a worthy mechanic residing here, with prompt philan thropy took Mes. Evans and her little ones into his house, when a discovery that his guest was born within half a mile of the old home he left twenty years before, and the family histories she related, amply repaid the kind Welchman for his hospitality. Another honest Welchman soon cheered her with his greeting. Fifteen dollars, the sum necessary to send her to Oak.hill, were soon raised, and Mrs. Evans's passage was taken on board the packet. But while hastening to redeem a shawl which, during the preparation for the st art she recollected still lay on the I,awnbroker's shelves, the boat cast off. Lamenting her disappointment she turned round and her husband stood before her. He had been in the city ten days in search of her; had boarded at the United States Hotel, just over the low and squalid apartment in which his little family were staying—he comfortably lodged, and living upon the luxuries of a well-served tabl., while they were famisking only a few Let distant. It was a joyful meeting ; the dollars were returned to the good subscribers, and the reunited and happy family took boat the next day for their western home. PAUPER RIOT.—On Tuesday, about forty of the inmates of the Worcester Union Workhouse, being refused a Christmas holiday, made their escape by scaling the wall of the building. At night they returned, but admission was refused to them except they pro duced a relieving officer's order. This led to cansider able tumult, which was only suppresSed by the police. The next morning the disturbance was renewed, -and about twenty of the most noisy were apprehended. Of these, five or, six of the ringleaders were sent to-the treadmill by the Magistrates.—Bristol Mirror.

ASYLUM FOR THE DEAF AND DUMB.— A general meeting of the members of the above charity was held on Monday, at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate street, to receive the report, and to elect 30 children as inmates of the Asylum, from a list :of 72 candidates. Alderman Gibbs, one of the Vice-Presidents, was voted Chairman. The Secretary read the Report. It appeared that the Society had already been the means of giving, in the establishment in the lient road, instruction to up wards. of 1,800 children, who, without the assistance of that particular charity, must have remained usekss and burthensome to themselves, to their friends, and to their country. The greater number were now, through the in strumentality of the Association, enabled to par ticipate in the general intellectual advantages of mankind, to communicate their thoughts as social and . intelligent members of the community ; to understand what was written and expresSed by those with whom they associated, and to read the , Scriptures. The annual -subscriptions from members amounted to 2,3771. Os. 6d., the life subscriptions to 4361. 175., which with the dividend on stock, legafies, the balance from the last year, tic., made the receipts amount to 11,576/. 7s. 6d. The board and tuition of two hundred and seventy-two children was 3,891/. 19s. 3d. ; and the entire expenditure left a balance of 8021. 4s. 9d. in the hands of the banker. The report was adopted, after which her Royal Highness the Duchess of Glou cester was appointed Patroness, and the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Marquis of Bristol, the Earl of Zetland, Lord Viscount SidinoUth, Lord Calthorpe, Lord Rolle, Lord Bexley, Sir Wm. Ashburnham, Bart.,_ and nine others, were re-elected Vice - Presidents. The meeting next proceeded with the election of children as inmates, and at three o'clock the thirty successful candidates were announced. Thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the meeting broke up.

A report is current in the Ministerial circles," says the Courrier Francais, " that General de Rumigny is about to return from-Algiers. It appears that General Bugeaud persists in his resolution not to leave Algeria at present without an express order from the Minister of 'War to return to France. Placed between the ridicule of recalling General de Rumigny, and- the more serious inconvenience of driving a man of General Bugeaud's character to some disagreeable demonstration, the Mi nistry has determined to leave at his post, until further orders, the present Governor of our African provinces, reserving the power of replacing hereafter the man of the army by the man of the Court." Yesterday morning, two large iron boats, each drawn by twenty horses, proceeded from the Padding ton Basin, -forcing the ice along the Regent's Canal to the City basin, and were- followed by several barges laden with goOds to Messrs. Pickford's warehouses. A most unfortunate occurrence took place at Coimbra on the 26th of December. A student of the University named Lobo headed a party of the scholars in one of those freaks which at that period of the year are customary , amongst mad-cap students in every country. The military were called out (unne cessarily, as I am informed) to quell the disturbance ; but realized the proverb of " catching a Tartar," having been immediately disarmed by Lobo's party. Shortly after, Lobo and his friends volunteered to fraternise with the soldiery, and generously gave them back their arms • whereupon these bloodthirsty scoundrels, with true Portuguese : valour, discharged their pieces on the body of students, and shot poor Lobo dead on the spot. This young man was of good property, and well connected, and the disastrous event has caused gene ral lamentation ; but, as they manage these matters in this country, it is perfectly manifest that the perpetra tors of this act rascally cowardice will never be called to wow% MORNING SUN .

Th e genera l i m p ress in a . luting on the minds of the deputation, after having gone their rounds to all the princip a l personages corn- . posing the Tory Administration, is de c id e dly favour able to their reputation for small talk, though far from complimentary to their stra ightfor wardness ' as - men, or to the largeness of their views in affairs of potties. As far as external courtesy and graceful bowing out'svas concerned, the deputation went away de lighted with the suavity of manner that had been shown to them ; with one or two exceptions the results of the ir nume rous interviews were, on the whole, far from satisfactory.. Sir James Graham displayed his customary tAnt, in taking either side of the question that happened tm suit his views ; and, recurring, perhaps, with the fond— ness of old associations, to the doctrines of free trade, he asked the deputation how they would get over the arguments that might be used by the free-trade party aga . nst the views which the Short-time Committee desired to see promoted. The Right Hon. Baronet thought it necessary to remark, that the sentiments in. favour of free trade were not his own, for, as be has now forgotten his former self, he was anxious that the deputation should be equally abluminous of the author. of Corn and Currency. Sir James wound up withl some very oily words about " using his best exertions for the prosperity of his countrymen," which are always on the tip of a Tory tongue, but which have generally reference to every subject but the one that is at the mo ment uppermost. Lord Wharneliffe and Mr. Gladstone acknowledged the justice of all the deputation said, and were quite sure the Cabinet would apply a remedy, though the principal members of the Cabinet, by implication,. if not in express words, conveyed an impression that the deputation has nothing to hope for. Sir Robert Peel was, of course, overflowing with politeness, and. even warmed into " expressions of cordiality ;" but the deputation went away thoroughly satisfied that he has not the sm illest intention of aiding them. The Duke of Buckingham played the part to which he seems particularly addicted, that of one who discs gre,-!s with his colleague', and takes a delight in per plexing them. He went the whole bog with the depu tation in everything, and strongly urged that every member of the Cabinet should be applied to, kindly undertaking to make t'ie appointments with them him- self by ascertaining their engagenients, and prevent ing the possibility of their getting off from an interview. His Grace promised his earnest co-operation, " Whe ther as holding a situ ttioa as a member of the Govern meat or in his private capacity," and whether in office or out, he seems quite prepared to act for hint self, without regard to the safety of the Conger ‘ative Ministry. Lord Stanley amused the depu tation by a graphic description of the humbug of Commissions, and the art of making up those ponderous blue books which are met with some times in libraries, but oftener in butter-shops. And, after occupying upwards of an hour in lively tallies, at the expense of the collective wisdom, he couiteously got the deputation out of his house, hav ing succeeding in impressing them with the idea that his Lordship was a bit of a wag, but that there coul.i be Lo serious expectation of any assistance to be derived from him. In their interview with Lord Lyndhurst the deputation found out that the Chan cellor possesses " talents of the highest order;' and so thoroughly did he succeed in blarneying the persons who waited on him, that they have actually ventured on a suggestion that his Lordship may yet turn his attention " to the amelioration of the condition of the working classes." Upon the whole, the Ministers, in their interviews with the Short-time Deputation, have exemplified pretty correctly their re spective claracters—and we may fairly set down a. talent for, what is vulgarly but expressively termed, humbug, as the most salient point in the composition of the existing Cabinet. STANDARD.—The conduct of the Conservative . Ministers, in receiving with respect and candour the repte sentatives of an important. d;vision of the working classes, naturally provokes the rage of their predecessors. Such conduct in the first place gives the lie to all that these have been for years saying of the supercilious contempt of their fellow-subjects entertained by Conservatives; aCeoudty. , is presents a bright contrast to the conduct ' of the Whig-Radicals themselves when the unworthy -occirrisots ,office. -.With them the people were • always.no l /Abstraction-4 term .to he :used when it • was expedient or necessary to terrify or to Complaid.; but, like any other thing, exciting only in a word', no object of care, or sympathy, or compassion. Everything was done by them nominally for the people in general ; but of how many cruelties were they guilty towards the people in detail? Is yet the rancour with which the applicants for the Ten Rotas" Bill are pursued an illustration of the system of sown fieing the actual to the abstract people 7 -an abstraction which has no representative in rerum nature but the men of money. Hail these applicants addressed them-- selv,s to the late Cabiuet, doubtless they would have been welcome ; for when was an opportunity of pro , viding for hungry dependents otherwise than welcome' to the Melbourne Administration ? But the Whig- Radical advisers of the Crown would not have condescended to the " baseness " of personal com municationNo ,; Commission, they with wonu,d co the i representatives of labourer,. h n a l y p e osed appo o i r ed half a_ a. do z well e paiti n younger brothers of officials, or briefless bar ritters devoting their abundant leisure to scrib bling political economy in newspapers, pamphlets, and reviews. Tne Commissioners would have gone to the scene of alleged suffering; examined what witnessN they pleased—alwa) s preferring men of enlarged anti en lightened views, that is, men who had read their own trash, and profited by it to the extent of haling the industrious poor—would have selected what parts of the evidence, thus collected they might think most convenient for their employers, and then prepared a Report under the superintendence of the Home-office, recommending that nothing should be done : and this Report, duly presented, would remain for ever unopened in the vast unread library of parliamentary publications. Sir R. Peel and his colleagues have acted differently : they have determined to hear the truth, and to bear it with their own ears, from those who can tell it most accurately, and must tell it most honestly ; and by this " base" condescension, they have divested them selves of all protection against the responsibility of re fusing relief, should it appear that relief is practicable. Let this free country be ever governed by such " base" Ministers, as will listen respectfully and impartially to the temperate representations of all classes of the people, is our earnest prayer. How much of evil sbou'd we not have escaped had the country been al ways so governed ? It is amusing to see the organs of a party calling itself emphatically popular, denounce such a course of policy as base. There is nothing base in in flaming minds by " enormous lying" to the very verge . of treason, rebellion, and anarchy, and then command ing the Crown and the Legislature to prostrate itself before this respectable impersonation of the people a: but . it is base to listen to men who will not signalise • their. approach by outrage, by murder, and confiagration.,, VirilT,- we cannot help lovin g the -baseriaSii44..seli, _ - is Jjecl va~- to is not Wority of the most serious attention - Of all who • consult for the wel fare, bodily and mentally, of that portion of her Ma jesty's subjects-confined to the unwholesome atmosphere of a factory, hut because we deem such a mode of discussing it obnoxious to numerous and weighty objections, and liable to create hopes and expectations beyond the power of any Government to realise. Questions . surrounded with intricate difficulties, and involving extensive interests, are not to be dealt with in that off-hand manner; nor do we much ap prove the habit of elaborating for the public eye the im pressions left upon the minds of the deputation after each successive interview, describing one minister as an entire supporter, another as a partial approver, and a third as a decided opponent of their views. If what passei at private inter views between deputations and the responsible adviser's of the Crown is to be made public after this fashion, with the addenda of what the deputation may have collectively thought of the " heart and head" of each individual Minister, it were , better that sbort-band writers should be invited to attend at such meetings; in order to ensure a full, fair, and impartial report of the proceedings. tlehop Wilbrahamfar Advcrtiset•.
