Sir H. Blackwood, has been appointed to the command of the Vengaance, 84, in the Mediterranean, vice the Earl of Hardwicke, superseded at his own request. The Vengeance will be in commission only for a few months longer. Sir Henry has served afloat fur more than 20 years since his first entering the navy, in 1814. Captain Robert Smart, K.H. (1837), as we antici pated yesterday, has been appointed to commission and command the Indefatigable, 50, frigate, at Devon port. This gallant officer is one of the best officers and sailors in the navy, his experience in all craft having extended over a period of 23 years since his entry into the service in October, 1810. As a master's mate he served in the Glasgow, at Algiers; obtained his lieutenant's commission Sep. teunber, 1820 ; and as lieutenant of the Cambria, was in the action at Navarino, and was subse quently wrecked in an attack on a nest of pirates at Carabusa. He was made a commander April, 1828, and served in the Satellite three years ; and since his elevation to the rank of captain, has com manded the Impregnable, 104, and Howe, 120; and has lately returned from serving as captain of the flag ship Collinga - ocd, sJ, in ,he Pacific. The following other officers have been appointed to the Indefatigable Lieutenants—Edward Hardy, Hon. T. A. Paken ham, W. IL Phipps, and Joseph 'dye. Master— James Bodie. Second Master—Thomas S. Neill Clerks—Charles Richards, Peter Curgenven. Mid. ist W an . ts ll — . c s h u i inp —ing, FArallnekn Thompson. FrmanakstalrisolmAesss William Wooldridge, and S. C. Scriven. Naval Cadets—Albert R.

Commander Frederick Patten (1837), whose ap pointment to the command of the Hound, 8, at Deronport, for service on the coast of Africa we gave yesterday, entered the navy in January, 1814, and has served 25 years on full-pay afloat and in the coast guard. He was a lieutenant of 1822, and was pro moted from the command of the Rapid, 10, in South America, and his last vessel was the Osprey, 12, wrecked at New Zealand, at a place called False Hokianga, which had never been surveyed. Com mander Patten has now another chance afforded him of winning his promotion ; for if he be deserving of command he is also deserving of advancem en t. The following are the oficers appointed to the Hound :—Lieutenants--George Durbin and E. 11. L. Ray. Acting Master—Thomas Pitt. Paymaster and Purser—Charles E. Colman (just promoted). Clerk—H. W. Parsons. Midshipmen—William J. Johnson and Nagle B. Lock. Master's Assistant-- Bailey Pike. Boatswain—John Ward. Carpenter— George Nutcher. Assistant Surgeons—Ernest Elliott (1841), from the Agincourt,'depot ship, to Royal Marine Infir mary, Woolwich ; Dr. William Webber (1841), to the Agincourt; Dr. William Smith (1843), to the Saturn, depot ship, at Pembroke.

The Rolla,- 6, Lieutenant-Commander Dolling, apprentices' brig, has been dismantled at Portsmouth, and laid up for the winter months. The Seagull, 6, packet-brig, Lieutenant-Com mander Smail, was paid wages at Devonport, and is now ready to sail for Falmouth. The Penguin, 6, packet-brig, Lieutenant Com mander Leslie, has been taken out of dock, at Devon port, and the Hound, 8, has been taken in. The Hecate, 6, steam 'sloop, Commander Shadwell, is at the buoy off the dockyard steps, all ready for the reception of Sir 14. L. Bulwer, Lady Bulwer, and suite, for whom she has b een mos t tastefully fitted, and also provided with an additional number o' officers for war service. This vessel, a small one of her class, would have a commander, two lieutenants, and two mates, if she could get them—she has now a commander, three lieutenants, and four mates. She goes direct to the Chesapeake, calling at Bermuda. The Cuckoo steamer, Commander Dumaresq, sailed yesterday afternoon for Guernsey. She went down the Solent, and propably remained in Yarmouth Roads for the night. The Fairy and Elfin, yacht tenders, were looked for at Portsmouth yesterday, but they have no doubt put into some port for shelter, as it would be foolish to risk their gingerbread work against the strong west wind there is now blowing. The Sir George Pollock, Captain Withers, with the Bishop of Victoria and suite on board, has also been detained by the west wind' and bad weather. She will not sail till the wind moderates. TUE lIUNGARIAN REFUGEES. Mr. RICHARD TAYLOR having been called upon to present the petition of Lord Dudley Coutts Stuart, M.P., and others, for the use of the Guildhall on some day after the 9th of November next, for the purpose of a ball for the relief of the Hungarian refugees, rose and addressed the Court. When notice had been given of the intention to apply for the use of the hail, for the benefit of the Hungarians, it was well known that the sympathies of the citizens of London and the public were so excited in favour of such claimants as to cause an ardent determination to come forward in support of their cause, and he entertained no doubt as to the readiness with which the object the peti tioners- had in view would be accomplished if they persevered.—(Hear.) It was foreign to the feelings of the Hungarians, however, while they were losing, week after week, and day after day, by legal mur ders, their frie n d s an d re l a ti ons, to seek relief by means of a ball or other entertainment. It was therefore his intention not to present the petition of which he had given notice, and which he was prepared to advocate by facts and descriptions of the most convincing nature. He was quite ,sure the Court would, when called upon at a future time to exercise its benevolence towards the unfortunate Hungarians, answer to the appeal in the spirit by which it had been always influenced for the protection of the oppressed. The more the sufferings lof the Hungarians were known, the more active would, in fact, be the sympathy ; and when the proper time should arrive he should not fear to make the ne nessary appeal to the humanity of the Court and his fellow-citizens. Mr. Taylor then withdrew the notice. ?r. into )spital, cni 18 !re de of the others and ebility e man LITERARY MATTER of INIOML\TION and AMU.3EMENT.

LOANS ON DEBENTURES. Many difficulties beset the path of a young Journalist which a little experience removes, and most earnest thanks are proffered for the kind indulgence bestowed on the errors which have occasionally marked the Editorial and Practical Departmeqts. The best proof of the Editor's feeling will be found in her endeavours to render the Journal far more worthy of the flattering patronage it receives, and without any fallacious boast, she can promise her Readers a future supply of sound and valuable matter. The most gratifying circumstance attending the extensive circula tion and cardial reception of the Journal has been in proving that a large reading public can be found for a cheap Serial who do not require unhealthy excitement and mere ephemeral entertainment to gain their attention. Right glad has the Editor been to see that her plain and simple wish to elevate the morals. and invigorate the mind, has been graciously received : for, though amusement is one of the chief essentials, not only of periodical literature, but of our whole lives, it should ever be blended with a principle and purpose tending to advance humanity. From the cheering encouragement already received, the Editor trusts fully to her friends for the future, and has, equal pride and pica• ure in presenting her First Volume as a Journalist to those whose generous perceptions stamped her first attempt as a Poet.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday a Court was held for the dispatch of public business. The LORD M AYOR l a id b e f ore the Court the answer of Prince Albert to the address of the Court at the opening of the new Coal Exchange. Upon the motion of Mr. John WooD, the commu nication was ordered to be entered on the jonrnals. THE POLICE OF THE CITY. Alderman LAWRENCE brought up a report from the Police Committee. It stated that the committee felt no small satisfaction in calling the :attention of the Court to the gratifying circumstance that they could recommend a further reduction of the rate for the purpose of the police, to be levied upon the in habitants of the City, and that they were assured that, with the assistance of a proportion of the balance of the funds in the hands of the Chamberlain, a sufficient amount for the payment of the expense of the estab lishment might be realised by a rate of not more than sixpence in the pound, being a reduction of two pence in the pound, or 25 per cent., since the Act came into operation at Christmas, 1839. The report further stated, that the circumstance was rendered more gratifying when it was remembered that the reduction of the rate was not consequent upon any diminution of the numerical strength of the police, with the corresponding loss of security to person and property, but that, on the contrary, the force had been augmented since its establishment from 500 to 567. It concluded with expressions of appro bation of the manner in which the establishment was regulated and conducted. The announcement of the reduction of the rate was received with strong marks of approval, and ordered to be printed in the minutes of the Court, and a rate was directed to be levied accordingly. IRISH ESTATES. Mr. ANDELTON begged to be informed whether the Court might shortly expect a report on the sub ject of the Irish Estates Bill ? He was induced to ask for information upon the subject, in consequence of the deep interest felt out of doors upon it. '1 he LORD MAYOR said the question had been put to him at various times in different ways, and he had intimated to those who had expressed anxiety upon the subject, that there were certain matters to be ar ranged with the Government before the committee could make any movement. He could only repeat that answer at the present moment. Mr. ANDERTON said he understood that nothing had been done in the matter. The LORD MAYOR—Nothing at all. Mr. H. TAYLOR said the subject had been alluded to in the Irish and English newspapers, and in a man ner not at all complimentary t o th e Corporation of London. It had been said that the L on d on companies were concerned. Now he was one of those who never contemplated such a thing as a connexion between the Corporation and the London co m pa ni es in the purchase proposition of land of the k in Ireland, i n d. an d he never had heard of any THE,' ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION, REGENT-STREET.

ANOVELTY for the approaching season is in preparation to which a distinguishing name has not yet been given, but which the inventors, Messrs. NICOLL, can recommend as one of the most useful, warm, comfortable, and graceful articles of gentlemanly attire ever produced. Specimens can be seen at 114, 116, and 120, ilegent.street, and 22, Cornhill, as also TIIE TREBLE Garment, or PA LETOT, called THE NICOLL, which retains all the chara,derigtics of the famed Paletot (registered 6 and 7 Vie., cap. 65) In its exterior, and has the additional advantages of being convertible from a warm to a light Overcoat, or vice versa, at the pleasure of the wearer, or as the mild or cold nature of the weather may re quire. This garment must be seen and worn to be properly appre ciated ; it will be found, perhaps, the best preservative of health in this variable climate. THE NICOLL has been secured by Royal Letters Patent in ENGLAND, IRELAND, SCOTLAND, and the COLONIES ; it can, therefore, only be purchased in the country, or abroad, of Messrs. NICOLL'S (the patentees) recognised AGENT.;, and in LONDON only of themselves, viz., at 114, 116, 120, REGENT-STREET, and 22, CORNIIILL. —With ing the Lde, and itted to farmers • Price 2d., or Is. 91. per dozen, A.

The 'POLICIES are INDEFEASIBLE and INDISPUTABLE, the Company being prohibited, by the 54th clause of their Deed of Constitution, which is duly registered in terms of the Act, from ills - pitting a Policy upon any ground whatever. The Rates of Premium are calculated upon Carlisle mortality, and are as low as a due regard to complete security will justify. - HALF PREMIUM SYSTEM. —By this plan only one-half of the premiums, with interest of the retained halves, is required to be paid 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 be relinquished at any time without payment of the retained p4miurns, this scheme enables a party to assure for the first fly years at little more than half the usual rate, and to discontinue a Policy 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 a Specified age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur. PARTNERAIIIE POLICIES are granted, whereby a joint assurance tffected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in 'vested. On 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.

PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 7.—The Superb, 80, Captain Purcell, at Queenstown, we learn by a letter from that station, is ordered to fill up her complement from 500 to 750 men. The ship lay at Spithead about three quarters of a year, with barely enough hands on board to take care of her on a squally day, and only half enough to man the guns on board had she been " wanted. During this time of inaction ships by the half-dozen were on the home station stripping, paying off, and throwing their crews upon the several parishes ; and this even after the number of seamen :Mowed upon the estimates was short some thousands. What has been the result? That when men were wanted they could not be found; and even a 12 gun brig, the most tempting craft in the navy for seamen, could not get men to enter for her. Steamers and tenders are then sent to the mercantile ports and along the coast to tout for sailors, but with what success too apparent to need mention. The Leander, 50, new dashing first class frigate, with a popular captain, is next put in commission, but she could not get manned without entering some of the off-scouring: from some of the other ports, and has made up her complement with the greatest trouble and difficulty, and the indefatigable personal attention of Captain llacres. The Leander, 60, Capt. Dacres, left her moorings at 138 P.m. to-day, and worked out of harbour in first rate style under double reefed topsails, spanker, and jib. On leaving the harbour she let fall her courses, and saluted the Commander-in-Chief on passing tht King's Rooms. On rounding the Spit, the wind being south-west by west, very fresh, she was obliged to make a third tack to come up to the anchorage ; she then shortened sail very smartly, and anchored at 240 P.M. She steers and stays remarkably well and easy. Her draught of water, on leaving her moor ings, was 19it. 9in. forward, and 21ft. Sin. aft. Shi is a ship that any country ought to be proud of When ready for sea, it is reported the Lords of the Admiralty, or some of the Board, will inspect her. The Serpent, 12, Commander Barker, is ordered to remain at St. Helen's during the prevalence of the rough weather. She shipped her Post-office mail for the Brazils on Sunday. Commander Patten, who was tried in this harbour two or three years since for the loss of his vess , l (the Osprey, new 12-gun sloop) at New Zealand, it is re ported, is to command the Hound, new 10-gun brig, at Devonport.

PLYMOUTH, Nov. 6.—lt is understood that Ad miral-Superintendent Sir John Louis will resign the duties of the Devonport Dockyard on Saturday next, November 10, and that he will be succeeded by Capt. Lord John Hay, at present one of the Lords Commis sioners of the Admiralty.

Mr. Taplin, second assistant to the chief engineer at THE CONSERVANCY OF THE THAMES. Mr. JOHN WOOD brought up a report from the Consolidated Committee, on the subject of a report recommending the Court to open an official negotia tion with her Majesty's Government for an arrange ment of all matters connected with the regulation of the River Thatnez. It certified that the committee had had several conferences with members of her Ma jesty's Government upon that important subject, and had hoped during the last session of Parliament to have come to a satisfactory arrangement—that they were still making every effort to accomplish that desirable object—that they recommended that they should be empowered to give the necessary notices of an application to Parliament in the next session of a Conservancy Bill, in order that the Court might be in a position to carry out any arrangement which might be made with her Majesty's Government, or to take such other course upon that important subject as might be deemed advisable. The report was agreed to. IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CITY. The following report from the Coal, Corn, and Finance Committee was also unanimously, and with out any discussion, agreed to : " We, whose names are hereunto subscribed of your committee, to whom it was referred, on the 13th July, 1848, to negotiate for a loan of the sum of 80,0001. for building a new prison at Holloway ; and to them on the 16th October last it was referred to consider and report the most advisable plan for raising the necessary funds for completing the new street from Cannon-street to St. Paul's Churchyard, do certify that, on the 21st October, 1847, your com mittee reported that the sum of 20,0001., set aside annually for the formation of a City Improvement Fund, by order of your Court, 25th September, 1845, would place at your disposal for further improve ments a sum not exceeding 200,0001., in addition to the sum of 300,0001, already charged on that fund ; and your Court having, on the 29th of October, 1847, agreed to the report of your committee, it only remains rill- your committee to report on this occasion that they see no reason to make any recommendation otherwise than that contained in their said report of the 21st October, 1847, and which met with the Approbation of your Court. We arc, therefore, of opinion that the Remcmbrancer should be instructed to insert in the Bill fur the completion of the improvements referred to, similar clauses with reference to the raising of the necessary funds to those contained in the London (City) Improvement Act of 1847, and that he should give the necessary notices accordingly. That with reference to raising the sum of 80,000/. for the new prison, and 20,0001, the sum which your Court has tuthorised to be expended in improving Billinsgate Market and the avenues thereto adjoining, we beg to report that we have been attended by Mr. Scott, clerk to the Chamberlain, who in pursuance of our instruc tion had made inquiries as to raising those amounts, and he reported to us that without the usual Parlia mentary powers, contained in the several Improvement Acts, it would be difficult, notwithstanding the exist ing abundance of money, to obtain a loan upon reasonable terms, but that he entertained no doubt whatever that with such Parliamentary sanction and powers the money would be raised very advantageously, and we, considering that both the purposes referred to, namely, the removal of the H ouse o f C orrec ti on and the enlargement of the market at Billingsgate, are both of them inseparably connected with improve ments, we are of opinion that Parliament would allow the insertion of the requisite power for raising the funds, in a general improvement Act ; and we recom mend that the Remembrancer should be instructed accordingly. Should it happen, however, that the orders and regulations of Parliament preclude the insertion of the powers in a general Act, we are of opinion that it would not be expedient to apply for a separate Act for that purpose. A long discussion took place upon a report brought up by Mr. Blake, the Chairman of the Bridge-house Committee, recommending that Alderman Humphrey should be permitted to make certain deviations from his contract for building at Ihye's Wharf, Southwark. , It stated that Alderman Humphery explained the value and extent of the alterations proposed to be made by him, and stated that, Ifrom the alteration which had taken place in the trade of the port of London since he entered into his contract, the exten sive warehouses which he was thereby required to erect would be almost valueless, in consequence of the limited extant of river frontage, which was at present only 130 feet, whereas, by the construction of a wet dock, as shown upon the plan laid before your Court, a water frontage of 550 feet would be secured, whereby not only his interest, as tenant of the property, but the reversionary interest of the com mittee, as the freeholders, would be greatly increased in value. The report concluded with recommending that Alderman Humphery should be permitted to deviate from the contract entered into by him on the sth of October, 1846, by constructing a wet dock and erecting warehouses agreeably to the plans laid before the Court, and that Alderman Humphery be re quired to enter into and execute a proper contract or other instrument, for carrying the arrangement into effect. The COURT agreed to the report, and referred it THE BERMONDSEY MURDER. All doubt as to the fate of the Mannings has at last been set at rest by the following document, which was received yesterday by Mr. Keene, the Governor of Horsemonger-lane Gaol : " Surrey to Wit,—Francis William Gamul Palmer, Esq., sheriff of the county aforesaid, to Thomas Keene, keeper of her Majesty's gaol at Horsemonger lane, in and for the county aforesaid.—Whereas, at the general sessions of the delivery of the gaol of our Lady the Queen of Newgate, holden for the jurisdic tion of the Central Criminal Court, at Justice-hall, in the Old Bailey, in the suburbs of the city of London, by adjournment, on Friday, the 26th day of October, 1849, before Sir Frederick Pollock, Knight, Lord Chief Baron of the Court of our Lady the Queen of Exchequer, Sir W. H. Maule, Knight, and Sir Cress well Cresswell, Knight, two of the Justices of our said Lady the Queen, and Justices of her Court of Common Pleas, the Hon. Charles Ewan Law, one of the counsel of our said Lady the Queen, learned in the law, Recorder of the City of London, and others, their fellow-justices of our said Lady the Queen, assigned to deliver the said gaol of Newgate of the prisoners therein being, Frederick George Man ning and Maria Manning, his wife, were attainted of the wilful murder of Patrick O'Connor, for which the said Frederick George Manning and Maria Man ning, his wife, stand condemned to be severall hanged by the necks until they be severally dead.

" Given under the seal of my office, this 31 day of November, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and forty-nine. " By the same Sheriff." THE CONDEMNED MURDERESS. Shortly after the decision of the judges was known as to the reserved point, information was forwarded to the governor and chaplain of Horsemonger• lane Gaol, so that Maria Manning might be made acquainted with the fact, as she has since her condemnation con fidently relied on being successful, which has mate rially buoyed up her spirits. These functionaries accordingly had an interview with her in her cell, and the Rev. Chaplain informed her that she must prepare herself to meet her Maker, as the sentence pronounced upon her by the judge at her trial would be carried into effect on Tuesday morning next. She seemed extremely surprised at the announcement, and ex claimed that she had been unjustly tried and convicted, which her unfeeling husband could prove. lle could unravel the whole of th e c i rcums t ance s relative to the murder, and if he told the truth it would exculpate her from any Participation i n the dreadful crime. She seemed rather excited at first, but afterwards put her hands to her face and cried bitterly.. .The chaplain exhorted her to employ the few remaining hours she had to live in prayer and repentance, and implored her to make a full confession of the crime for which she is convicted. She asserted that she was not the party who committed the murder, and she h a d no thi ng to confess. It is, however, believed that now she finds that there is no hope for her, she will make some ex traordinary statement before h er execution, and that she wi▪ ll have aninterview with her husband. The latter has several times expres se d hi s anx i ety to see her, which has b een communicated to her.

WEST LONDON ANTI-ENCLOSURE SOCIETY.—At the last meeting, s:h instant, at the Literary Instituti ii, Carlisle- street, Edgeware-road, Mr. G. Wiggall in the chair, a most stormy discussion ensued respecting the attempted division of the society by two members. So determined were such members that the society should not leave Ellis's Rooms, that as a last and only means of regaining even a part of its library deposited there, the secretary, who is also the founder of the society, was compelled, against his will, and the expressed desire of Earl Stanhope and other absent members, to propose a division of the property, reserving to himself the privi lege of not acting with the minority who had compelled him to such a course; hence the re-appearance of the society in Marylebone, where the majority desire to see the remainder.of their property. The secretary declared that this attempt to form a St. Pancras branch was nothing less than an attempt to wring from him one half of the property he had accumulated for his little society, and a hich was the result of most unwearied toil both day and night. The numbers in question contended the contrary; but as Mr. Griffiths denied the legality of the resolution he was compelled to propose against his will, it was agreed that a special meeting of members should be convened at Mr. Elli.'s Rooms, 8, George street, Euston-square, the ensuing Monday, after seven, when the question is to be decided by a show of hands. This attempt to form a branch against the will of the founder, and Earl Stanhope and the majority of the members, has excited great suspicion. Should the at tempt succeed, a new Anti-Enclosure Society will, iu all probality, be the result. A FAMILY FIRE ESCAPE.--In order to prevent (says a correspondent of the Builder) the awful sacrifice of life which so frequently occurs from fire, it seems de sirable that Government should offer a handsome re ward to the inventor of a fire-escape, which, by the sim plicity of its machinery, and the lowness of its price, would be available for all classes. I mean an apparatus that every family could possess. If, however, the Go vernment decline encouraging so laudable an object, I am sure the public would respond to any call that might be made upon them, to testify their gratitude for ingenuity so applied, and I would therefore suggest that mechanics should (if only on the ground of humanity), direct their best attention to this subject, and do their utmost to pro duce an apparatus which should be among the " lions" of the proposed national exhibition of 1851. THE WEATHER. —Since our last we have had a great change in the weather—indeed, the true com mencement of winter. It was ushered in, as is not unusual, by a thick f og , w hi ch hung over the town the whole of Saturday. Sunday was cloudy and wet; the night was windy, with a slight fall of sleet towards Monday morning. On Monday there were showers of rain and hail, at short intervals, all day, and the night'was stormy. On Tuesday morning there was a copious fall of snow; and more fell at intervals, occa. sionally mingled with rain and sleet, during the whole day. Of course the temperature became much lower; the thermometer which on F r id a y range d b etween 56 deg. and 44 deg. Fahrenheit, on Saturday was between 52 deg. and 39 deg., and on Monday, not higher than 50 deg., while it dropped to 37 deg. On Monday, nearly eight-tenths of an inch of rain fell. We see by the telegraphic returns, on Tuesday morning, that frost had been experienced only at Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Newcastle, while at the southern ports, and in other parts of the kingdom, the weather was very fine : G 1 isgow, west, frost; Edinburgh, west, frost; Newcastle, S.W., frost; Normanton, west, cloudy ; Hull, S.W., cloudy; Bradford, west, cloudy; Skipton, S.E., cloudy; Leeds, S.E. cloudy; York, S.W. very fin e; B ran d on , S. ' cloudy; Dereham, S. cloudy; Gosport, S.W. fine; Ports mouth, W. fine; Southampton, W. fine; Cambridge, S. flue; St. Ives, S.E. fine; Birmingham, S. flue ; Derby, south, fine; Leicester, south, very flue; Lincoln, S.W. very flue; Nottingham, south, very fine; Rother ham, S.E. very fine; Chesterfield, south, very fine; Louden, south, very fine.—Manchester Guardian. THE NATIONAL SOClETY.—Yesterday a private meeting of the committee of the National Society was held at the central school-rooms, Broad Sanctuary, for the purpose of taking into consideration a communica tion received by the Committee of Council on Educa tion. The meeting was numerously attended by bishops, noblem , n, and members of Parliament interested in the question. The Earl of Harrowby filled the chair in the absence of the two archbishops, aed the Rev. J. G. Lonsdale, secretary to the society, read the communica tion from the Committee of Council on account of which the meeting had been convened. It explained at some length the operation of the law and the views of their Lordships on the terms of trust deeds in certain proposed cases, as where the managers of schools are required to be communicants of the Church of England, where a bishop or arbitrators were empowered to declare a teacher unfit for his office, or where a committee of ma nagement, in violation of the terms of the trust deed, neglect or refuse to dismiss a tescher in pursuance of the decision of the bishop or the award of the arbitrators. The document further conveyed the expression of their Lordships' disinclination to admit of any further modi fications than those already conceded on the subject of an appeal on questions not relating to religious instruc tion. A lengthened discussion took place with reference to this communication, in which the Bishops of Ox'ord, Salisbury, and Bangor, the Earl of Harrowby, Arch deacon Sinclair, Mr. G. C. Talbot, M.P., Mr. Colqu houn, and others, joined. At the close of the proceedings, which lasted nearly four hours, a committee was ap pointed to draw up a letter to the Committee of Council on the subject which had been under consideration. A DOUBLE ELOPEMENT.—A farm servant in the neighbourhood of Castle Douglas had been paying his addresses to the daughter of a small farmer in the same district, and last week succeeded in persuaJing her to elope with him. He was not satisfied, however, with a portionless lass, and acting under his advice, she took with her 151. of her father's money, and a est filled with clothes, blankets, cheese, butter, and various other articles. The couple reached Dumfries on Wednesday, and remained till Thurday morning at an inn, with the intention of proceeding to Manchester, where the de ceiver proposed having the marriage ceremony per formed. lie had led the credulous girl to believe that ho had saved a large sum of money which was lodged in a bank here, and he went out in the morning saying he was about to draw a portion of it. After waiting in vain some time for his return, the suspicions of the de serted fair one wero aroused, and she soon discovered that her scoundrel lover had eloped by railway for Glas gow, leaving her, but taking both money and chest with him. Information was given forthwith to the police and a Stewartry officer dispatched to the metropolis cf the west, who succeeded in apprehending the fugitive from love and law on board of a steamer bound for Lon donderrv. We have not heard what:has become of the dupe, but we hope she has returned in sorrow and re pentence to her father's roof, resolved in future to turn a deaf ear to those wooers who think more of the tether than the daughter.—Dumfries Courier. LONDON AND Nonni-WESTERN RAILWAY.—With the c3mmencement of the month a new and important system of acceleration was °Meted in all the mail trains on this line, and by which an hour is gained to passengers and correspondence at all the principal termini, such as Liverpool, Manchester, Holyhead, Dublin, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and other places. The speed on some portions of the line is at express pace, and the average increase in the rate of speed is about five miles per hour. This improvement is the result of an arrangement just come to between tho Postmaster-General and the railway authorities.
