The solitary one may shield himself under the plea Of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un eornProsieg harry ; but the truth lies deeper.

Let no imaginatively refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered ey , misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining them.. They are not intended certainly for mere idle cariosity, tut or the closet perusal of those mere dearly interested, to whom hey are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other little publications claim your attention (same price is. each, by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and Avoid," and " How to be sappy." They are not merely Pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the Mire ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's ire who owes his present existence, health, and position to thin ob servanat of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he Would be done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always on the "sunny side of the way."

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, June 13. SPEAR V. WARD. This was an action to recover 951. 10s. for work and labour done by the plaintiff, a civil engineer, for the Warwick and Worcester Railway Company, of which the defendant, who is ihe,late member for Sheffield, and the present Chief Commissioner of the lonian Islands, was chairman. Mr. Sergeant Talfourd and another barrister, appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Byles and Mr. Bram well were for the defendant. Several witnesses were called to support the plaintiff's case, and among others, Mr. Cole, a surveyor, who, in the course of his evi dence, stated that he had brought an action against cne of the members of the Provisional Committee of the Warwick and Worcester Railway Company, in which action he had recovered 501., of which Mr. Geddy, a clerk to Messrs. Elmslie and Preston, who are concerned for the defendant. had received 51. pursuant to agreement. , Shortly after this evidence had been given, Mr. Cole came into Court and said that he had been struck by Mr. Geddy. The CHIEF JUSTICE directed that he should be sworn, and asked him what he had to say? Mr. Cole—l was going out of court when the counsel for the defendant was going to speak, and Mr. Geddy was outside, and I said to him the Si. won't do now, Mr. Geddy, and he then struck me and my hat fell off. The LORD CHIEF JusricE—What do you mean by saving the 51. won't do? Mr. Cole—When I recovered 501. he had 5/. out of it. He was clerk to Messrs. Elmslie and Preston, who were concerned far the com pany, and witness agreed to give him 201. per cent. if he could get the whole of witness's claim allowed. The CHIEF JUSTICE then inquired of Mr. Geddy what he had to say in the matter? Mr. Geddy said that the complainant had committed an offence which he (Mr. Geddy) ought to have taken instant cognizance of, and asked for the protection 0' liis Lordship: He *us standing outside the court when Mr. Cole said to him, " I have done for you and the 51."_ He made answer, and said, " But I shall go into the witness-box you will find;" when Cole said, " You dare not." He (Mr. Geddy) said, " You recollect pretty well how you were served at the County Court when the Judge ordered you out of Court. Mr. Cole instantly said, " You're a liar;" and ran up the steps and endeavoured to make an assault upon him, and kicked at his legs, on which he (Mr. Geddy) endeavoured to defend himself, but instantly recollecting that he would be committing an offence against his Lordship and that Hon. Court, be refrained, and left him to pursue his way. Not being satisfied with this, he came back again and braved him, and tried to make him strike him, that he might have something like a case, but he (Mr. Geddy) refrained from doing anything further. There were two or three gentlemen present when this occurred. and he instantly came into court and mentioned the matter to Mr. Bramwell, and wished him to ask fur the protec tion of the Court. Mr. Merrick Burcham; an attorney, who witnessed the affair, was then sworn, by the direction of hia Lord ship, and stated that he was standing outside the door of the court when Mr. Cole came out, and said, " Mr. Geddy, I have done for you about the 5/. swindle." Geddy said, " I shall get into the box presently." Wit ness did not pay particular attention to what passed, but Mr. Geddy asked Mr. Cole about something that passed in the County Court, when the Judge ordered him out of the court for stating that which was not the fact. Shortly after this Cole came up to Geddy, who struck him. and then Cole Kicked Geddy, and there was an end of it. bree other witnesses were called who ,gave similar testimony, after which The CHIEF JUSTICE asked Mr. Cole if he had any thing to say ? Mr. Cole said, Yes; Mr. Gtddy had al wa) s had a :,‘ bickering" against him. The CHIEF JUSTICE—Never mind that ; we want to know what passed out of Court. Mr. Cole—l think it was done for the purpose of pre venting me giving evideLce in the case of Sir John M.•/sTelif v. Ward. The CHIEF JUSTICE—Do you wish to say anything, Mr. Geddyl• Mr. Gedd) —What had been stated was very untrue. He was taken by surprise, and be thought that Mr. Cole's hat was knocked off in consequence of his rushing at him. He had called several witnesses, who had given their evidence, and ho claimed at his I,ordship's hands that justice which his Lordship always gave. a n I.h e outrageC rim s CHIEF nUsatTtlhCeE Courtsaid t b i n e y g r b o a s d both s contempt o m f i t tc thed Court, of a character which must tend very much to disturb the administration of justice, and degrade the Court. Witnesses should be told that they were not to make that place a scene for quarrelliag, much less during the time of a trial. Mr. Cole had gone up to Mr. Gtddy, and after reproaching him with what had occurred at a ormer trial, had called him a liar. Such conduct as that could not be palliated or justified, and no man had a right to act in such a manner. He should, therefore, fine Mr. Cole 5/. He also regretted to say that Mr. Ged,iy had likewise con:twitted a contempt of the court, and therefore he fined him 21. for the blow that he had struck. Mr. Sergeant BYLES then addressed the jury for the defendant, and calk(' witnesses with the view of Show ing that the plaintiff had not been employed. Whilu the jury were about considering their verdict— Mr. Cole addressed his Lordship, and said that he re gretted what had occurred. He had no desire to act in contempt of the Court, and hoped the penalty would not be enforced. The CHIEF JUSTICE said nothing could be more im proper than what had taken place, and if such conduct were not punished the Court would have every d4y to determine cases of this kind. lie doubted whether he could lessen the fine. Mr. Cole said he was not prepared to pay the money, The ChIEF JUSTICE was very sorry for it, but the dignity of the Court must be upheld. He, however, would allow the fine to be estreated, that (Mr. Cole) would have time to pay. Mr. Geddy asked for the same indulgence. Thewas, that he CHIEF JUSTICE—You have p a id your fine. If men could not restrain themselves they must be punished. Mr. Geddy said he had received great provocation, and his Lordship's opinion expressed by the difference in the amount of the fines was that Cole's conduct was the worst. If he was sure that the fine would be enforced against Mr. Cole he should be satisfied, for he was really he offending party. The CUIEF JUSTICE said he might rest satisfied of that. The tine would be estreated into the Exchequer, and if not paid process would issue for it. The jury, after a short absence from Court, found a verdict for the plaintiff for 951. 10. The cause list for the, sitting contains 33 remanets end 43 new cases, and the number of special jury cases is 29. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, June 13. (Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE.) IN RE J. DE MONTE ARBUTENOT. The bankrupt's adjourned application for his certificate was again supported by Mr. Lewis, and opposed by Mr. Steele. After a protracted hearing, in which scarcely a new argument was advanced, The Learned 20MMISSIONER gave judgment. He said that this was the most melancholy case that had ever come before that Court. It . was the case of a young man, who on coming into the possession of a handsome fortune, had more than dissipated it in the course of two years, by gambling and horse-racing, and the most extravagant expenditure. His balance-sheet showed that his leases by horse-racing alone exceeded 5.000/., and his personal extravagance vas of a similar reckless character. It appeared that he had fallen into exceedingly bad hands. On one occasion he had lost with two associates—he would not say accomplices—a sum of 1,000/. in two days at the game of billiards. Anything more dis gusting seldom came before a criminal court, and he wished it had been before a criminal court on the present nccooinn, not ot, nat.+ on wooount or tbm baukrupt's part in the transaction, but on account of the part taken by ethers.. His Honour next pro ceeded to state the reasons why he considered the case before him came under the statute of the sth and 6th Victoria, against gambling by traders, and that he had no power to grant the bankrupt his certificate. Were there no such law in being, he might seriously call in question his right to grant a certificate to a person who had lost money in the manner the bankrupt had, as a person who was again looking to enter upon trade, or a person into whose hands the money or property of fu ture creditors ought to be perilled. With respect to the I s e e e v t er t e he p i e r n re al e ty w ney h b ich the by wagering, i g, m h p i o e s v ed up iewe o f n th t e ra o d p e e r r a e w ti h en o of the statute was, that it was a wholesome remedy, and highly beneficial to the community.

IN THE BANKRUPTCY OF •••-• CHAARETIE; ' The bankrupt, who applied for his eertificiate,islinder seatenoe of imprisonment pronounced by the Court. of Queen's Bench for the sale of a cadetship in the East India Company's service.

The Learned Gentleman offered no opppositiOn. Certificate granted. (Betore Mr. Commissioner Eve.Ns.) The certificate of Messrs. Swan was suspended for twelve mouths, on the ground of improper preference and refusing to place their affairs in the hands of their creditors when insolvent. Mr. Lawrence supported. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD - COURT. (Before Mr. Justice PATTESON.) Mark Jeffrey, 24 a tall powerful looking man, attired in the convict garb, was indicted for feloniously cutting and wounding Joseph . Robert Allen, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Clerk conducted the prosecution on behalf of the Treasury. It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor and other witnesses, that the prisoner had been convicted at Cambridge of the offence of burglary, and sentenced to be transported for fifteen years. • He was removed on board the warrior bulk, at Woolwich, in January last, and it would seem that he had several times exhibited insubordination. On the 15th of May he was sent into the dockyard to work with a gang of convicts, and they returned to the hulk at tweive. - o'cloek have.dinner, and when the meal was finished the prisoner wished to accompany a -different gang to the one he had before been working with, because it appeared he expected that they would be allowed a small quantity of beer. The prosecutor, who was at the time engaged in the capacity of second mate to the hulk, refused to allow the prisoner to go with this gang, and he was ordered off to continue the Same work he had been before engaged in, but shortly afterwards he was brought back in the custody of a sentry, who charged him with refusing to work. Mr. Masterman, the overseer of the hulk, was then sent for, and the prisoner made some complaint of the insuffi ciency of food that was allowed him. He was told that he received the allowance sanctioned by Government, and the same that was given to all the other convicts, and he was ordered to return to his work, being told at the same time that he should be locked up if he refused. Immediately upon this being said, the prisoner, who it appeared, during the time he bad been in the dockyard, had contrived to secrete an instrument called a " tree nail" of a very formidable description, about his person, suddenly drew it from under his coat, and struck Allen a tremendous blow on the back of the head with it, dividing the scalp, and inflicting very serious injury upon him. The prisoner, not satisfied with this act of vio lence, attempted to rush upon the overseer of the hulk, and made a blow at him with the same weapon, and the sentry was obliged to charge him with his bayonet before he could be secured. When this had been effected the prisoner expressed a hope that he had killed the prose cutor, and at the same time said that if it bad not been for the sentry he would have cleared the kitchen of the whole of them. _ _ _ Mr. Dobbs, the surgeon of the - hulk, was called to speak to the severe character of the injury received by the prosecutor, and he also said that upun.the day in ques tion the prisiuner appeared in robust health, and was quite capable of performing the task assigned to him in the dockyard. The prisoner, when called upon for his defence, made a long rambling statement, complaining of the treatment he had received on board the Warrior, and particularly of the quantity of food, which he said was quite in sufficient to keep a man in ;health, and enable him to work. He said that he had frequently complained to the prosecutor, and also to the overseer, but he could not get any redress, and on the day in question, being very much aggravated at the conduct of to. prosecutor, he admitted that he gave him a " crack" on the head. The surgeon to the hulk, in answer to questions put to him by the Court, said that the prisoner received the same allowance of food as tt e other convicts, and he considered it quite sufficient. The men were generally robust and healthy, and if any increase in the diet was consid,red by him to be necessary, he had full power to order it. The pi ismer, in an insolent tone, repeated his com plaint of the insufficiency of food, awl adeed, that the witness was no more fit to be a doctor than he was to be a king. Mr. Justice PATTESON inquired if the prisoner had re presented that he was in an unfit state to go to work upon the day in question? The Surgeon replied that he did do so, and he ex amined him, and finding that his arms were very sans - cular, and that he appeared in good health, he ordered him to go to work. He added, that the convicts conti nually pestered him with trifling complaints, in order that they might not be sent to work. The Learned JUDGE having summed up, The jury found the prisoner Guilty of the whole charge contained in the indictment. His LORDSHIP, in passing sentence, told the prisoner that he had been convicted of a very serious offence. He was already under a sentence of transportation for 15 years, and upon some apparently unrounded complaint as to the sufficiency of the food, he had not scrupled to make a most violent assault upon one of the officers in whose custody he had been placed. It was absolutely necessary that the discipline of such places as the hulks should be kept up, and therefore, as an example to other prisoners in a similar position to the prisoner, he felt it his duty to pass a severe sentence, which was, that he be transported for life. When the sentence ; was pronounced, the prisoner ex claimed in a violent manner that justice had not been done to him. Ile said that they might transport him for life, or give him the " hell devil" if they liked; but as they had not given him justice, he should take it himself the first opportunity that offered. James Impey, 22, was indicted for cutting and wound ing James Blackett Atkinson, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm. This case is of a similar character to the last. The prosecutor is one of the warders at the Milibank Peni tentiary, and the prisoner, at the time of the occurrence, was confined in that establishment, under a sentence of seven years' transportation. It appeared that the pri g mer entertained an impression that Atkinson intended to report him for some breach of the regulations of tine prison, and was exasperated against him on that ac count, and upon the latter opening the door of his cell on the morning mentioned in the indictment, the pri soner struck him a violent blow on the head with a stone, which he had tied up in the corner of his hand kerchief. The jury in this case also found the prisoner Guilty, and he was sentenced to be transported for 15 years. William John Ward, 21, was indicted for feloniously having in his possession two pieces of paper, upon which were engraved portions of a promissory note, for the payment of money, with intent to defraud William Lid dell and others. Mr. Huddlestone prosecuted, Mr. Payne defended the prisoner. The prosecutors in this case were Messrs. Liddell and Co., of the Beverley Bank. . It appeared that these gen tlemen were in the habit of employing an engraver in Shoe lane, named Lake, to engrave their notes, and it seemed that it was his custom to have any faulty im pressions that might be made brought to him, for the purpose of being destroyed ; but instead of this course being uniformly adopted, it appeared that a person named Burt, who was in the service of Mr. Lake, took home to his own lodgings one of these faulty impres c.i.oe; without the knowledge of hie ruae‘er, and the prisoner, who lodged in the same house, bad, it ap peared, got possession of this impression, and had filled it up, with the intention of putting the note into cir culation. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, but recommended him to mercy, and at the same time expressed an opinion that there had been a great want of care and attention an the part of the printer and engraver, in suffering documents of such value to be treated so carelessly. Mr. Justice PATTxSON remarked that it was quite clear that the witness Burt had no right to take home the faulty impression, and if he had not done so the prisoner would not have been able to obtain possession of it. ➢ir. HUDDLESTONE said he was instructed by the pro secutors to join in the recommendation of the jury. He believed the prisoner was respectably connected, and that there had been no imputation upon his character prior to this transaction. Sentence was deferred. John Standen, 35, was indicted for sacrilegiously steal ing from the parish church of Kew an iron chest, a tin box, and other articles, the property of the church wardens and others. _ _ Mr. Clarkson prosecuted, and Mr. O'Brien defended the prisoner. The robbery in question was committed so far back as the month of February, 1845. The church it appeared was entered by false keys, and a large 'iron chest, con• taining a quantity of marriage and burial registers, and other important documents, but, as it happened, no pro • perty of any intrinsic value, was stolen. This cheat also contained a small tin box, and the evidence against the prisoner was, that shortly after the robbery he had given that tin box to a person named Tilby, who represented that he at the same time told him that he had got it from Kew Church. None of the other property had been discovered, and it appeared that Tilby had not given any statement as to the manner in which he became possessed of the tin box, uutil after he himself had been in custody for several days, and there was not the slightest corroboration of his testimony. The jury, without hearing Mr. Mr. O'Brien for the prisoner, at once returned CaOURT. verdict of Not guilty. EW (Before the COMMON SERGEANT.) William George Arnold, aged 17, a clerk, was indicted for stealing a half-crown, three shillings, and one four- Denn y.piece, the property of Joseph Rudd. Mr. Robinson appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. D a su tino fvt tin Mena • The details of the case recently appeared under the tread of police. The prisoner said he was innocent. The COMMON SERGEANT sentenced him to six months' imprisonment. _ _ ;Ilary Ann Margaret Langham, aged 25, described as marriA, was convicted of stealing a pair of stays, valued at ten shillings, the property of Mary Ann Bridgeman, a stay maker, living at Woolwich. There was also an other indictment for stealing 20 handkerchiefs from an other shop in the same town. The prisoner, a respectable-looking young country woman, who had an infant in her arms. handed in a written statement, in which she stated that distress had driven her to the act, and that an officer in the army was the father of her child. • In answer to the Court, the officer said the prisoner was a known character; she had been apprehended with the property on her. Shortly after ;taking it, on her road to the station, she was taken with the pains of la bour, and delivered of the child she then had in her arms as soon as she got there. S!e was sentenced to six months' imprisonment. Samuel Brown, aged 27, a servant, was indicted for stealing a quantity of plate, valued at 1301, the property of Mary Buchanan Mansfield, hi s m i stress, from h er mr.dwelling-house. t prosecuted, and Mr. Willi am C ooper defended. Mr. Horation Mansfield, a student at law, living with his mother at 51, Grosvenor-street, said that the prisoner was their butler, having been so five months, and on the lith of May he received notice to leave the house and and give up the plate, upon which he left the house and sent two letters, when it was discovered that the plate had been pawned. Inspector Gray said that when he apprehended the prisoner, and told him the charge, he replied, " It is quite right. I have only borrowedit, and mean to re turn it." ^ T The pawnbrokers who had taken in the property said that the prisoner used to come to them either on horse back or in a dog cart, with a livery servant by his side, and upon one occasion, when redeeming some knives, said he wanted them, as he was about giving a dinner party. Mr. Cooper said, that however wrongly the prisoner had acted, :still there was not any evidence that the pri soner at the time of taking the plate did not honestly in tend to redeem it, and if they thought so they must acquit him of a felony; but whatever speculation he might have engaged in must, at a subsequent period, have prevented him carrying out his original intention. The COMMON SERGEANT said he had thought the old theory that counsel put to juries about servants when found out talking of redeeming property, was exploded, but now found otherwise; therefore he must tell the jury that the very moment a servant removed an em ployer's property for the purpose of parting with it, that moment was the larceny complete, otherwise no employer would be safe, for any servant might speculate in rail• way shares, &c., on his master's property, which, it successful, would be returned, and if not, the master would be told it was intended to be redeemed and then all redress would be gone. The jury found him Guilty. The COMMON SERGEANT said there were two other cases against him. Gray said he had robbed Lady Cape), with whom he had lived, under similar circumstances; but she forgave him. He had obtained his situation with prosecutrix by means of a talse character, and there was also a case of forgery against him. He was ordered to be transported for ten years. y i. l i e n n t a . The COMMON SERGEANT said no blame attached to a b na ut ou th n e d y ng ni t u o s e t a g n i s v id e r u a p b,y th a e b p o r v o e p l e o r o t the pawnbrokers, and it was therefore hard on them; 11 the cases, POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. James Ross was brought before the Lord Mayor upon the charge of embezzling money, the property of Mr. Abrahams, of Eastcheap, wholesale grocer. Mr. Hobler, tor the prosecution, stated that the pri soner had been in his elient's employment 15 or 16 months, upon a salary of 31. per wet k, and had be en au thorised to receive money for the house as well as to do general business ; that the prisoner had received the sum of 131. its. 6d. from a Mr. Scales fur goods sold and delivered, and never accounted for it ; and called Mr. Scales as a witness to the fact. Upon his cross-examination by Mr. Pelham, who de fended the prisoner, Mr. Scales said, he had never been given to understand that the prisoner was a partner in the firm, that the invoice was sent by the carman who brought the goods, and that the money was paid, as ap peered from the receipt, to the prisoner, who had nothing to do with the establishment except as a mere clerk. Mr. Pelham said he was instructed that defendant was a partner in the house, and that he supplied brains and knowledge, while Mr. Abrahams was bound to furnish the necessary cash to carry on the business. Under these circumstances the defendant was ju,tified in re ceiving the amount without bring obliged to account for its disposal, as would be the duty of an ordinary clerk. The LORD MAYOR—But Mr. Abrahams denies that there was any partnership connexion. Mr. Hobler—Certainly; the statement to that effect is the result of a complete misconstruction. Mr. Abrahams—He never had any share in my busi ness, but was a mere servant. Mr. Hobler called Mr. Scales again, and asked him whether he considered the prisoner to be a partner in the house ? Mr. Scales—No. I never knew anybody as a principal in the house but Mr. Abrahams. The prisoner —Did I not sign the watrants? Mr. Hobler—Everyone knows that the Mincing-lane business is constantly done in that way. The LORD MAYOR—Did Mr. Scales send the amount of the invoice to the house or take it himself to the pri soner? Mr. Scales—l paid the prisoner myself. The LORD MAYOR could not suppose, in the teeth of such evidence as had been brought forward, that the prisoner was a partner, and observed that it would be a most mischievous course to presume such a connexion in answer to the charge of defalcation upon the part of a responsible servant. The prisoner, for whose appearance his Lordship re fused to take bail, was then remanded. WORSHIP-STREET. Joseph Johnson Colverd, alias Smith, and William Hall Brown, alias Clarke, alias Bill, were placed at the bar before Mr. Arnold, charged with having uttered two forged bills of exchange for 221. Bs. and 211. 75., with in tent to defraud Mr. Henry Dymond, wholesale gutta percha boot and shoe manufacturer, in Regent-street. City- road ; and, also, with having obtained goods under false pretences, from the same prosecutor, to the amount of 112/. 18s. Mr. Vann, who attended for the prisoners, said that he should reserve the deence, as he presumed that it was the magistrate's intention to remand thtm, but trusted that he would accept bail for their future ap pearance. Mr. ARNOLD, however, refused to accede to the ap plication, and ordered the prisoners to he remanded for a week. An Entrance also from Maiden lane.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO LIEUTENANT LEVETT OF THE IST LIFE GUARDS.--While pasving down Dean street. on Saturday last from Stanhope.gate, Lieutenant Levett's horse shied at a carriage, and fell violently over some iron railings placed against the wall of Dorchester house. When picked up the gallant officer wss insen sible, but shortly recoverei, and the only injury he re ceived was a cut on the inside of his left leg. The horse, a very valuable one, was severely injured, one of the iron spikes having entered the head below the left eye, and torn away a large portion of the cheek bone, which has been extracted. As this is by no means the first acci dent that has occurred at the same spot, it is to be hoped that the iron railing now placed in so dangerous a posi tin i 1U ehortly be removed. L.4MBETH. Frederick Collins, Michael Fenton, and John Murphy, were again placed at the bar for further examination. on a charge of burglariously breaking into the dwelling house of Mr. Weir, a draper in the London-road, and stealing therefrom property to the amount of nearly 2001. Sergeant Guff, 8 L, who at the recommendation of the magistrate has taken up the case, for the purpose of bringing it to maturity, requested another week's re mand, and this was ultimately granted. George Hartley Green, a well-dressed young man, who described himself as a merchant's clerk, was chargf-d with having been guilty of the most beastly cruelty to a cow. Mr. NORTON observed that during the whole of his experience as a magistrate a more abominable case had not been brought under his cognizance. It was, in fact. of such an unheard-of description that he could not find in the hooks any enactment to reach the offence, or pu nidi it as it deserved. He (Mr. Norton) should take it, therefore, as a case of cruelty to the animal, and fine him the highest penalty, which was 405., but this would not protect him from an action at law to the owner of the cow. CAPT. MARRTATT'S NEW NOVEL, " VALERIE." This work is of an entirely different stamp to any of the gallant author's previous productions, except that it is told in the same characteristic, forcible, and felicitous style. It purports to be the adventures of a young and lovely girl, related by herself. The illusion of an auto-, biography is admirably sustained, and the heroine's trials and vicissitudes are portrayed with great skill and power. The character of Valerie is beautifully and most truth fully developed. From the moment that we behold her cast on the world, dependent for subsistence on her _ daily exertions, continually encountering fresh the difl se of . ties, and acquiring more and more experience of close olf flAness and heartlessness of mankind , up to t he h h i e g r v m e i n n t d f u e l d h w i s o t m o r a y o , we te ne se h e in h g er hy al and moderation m in misfortune, fortitude under r everses, h w e a r y se thex a s e p a l e patience n e b le, in prosperity. with great severity among t CHOLERA.—This terrible he w d i s o r o k r m d e e r n e b m a s p l b o y r o e k d e i n n t out h Many of the men had been indulging W oo dh ea d tunnel, near Manchest e r , on the Sheffield line of railway. in heavy drinking arid dissipation for several days, and, on their return to work, probably from want of proper nourishment, and from drinking the water that flows through the soil and rock, they were seized with dysen tery, which soon assumed the severe form of cholera, and, before medical assistance could be procured, several deaths occurred. The best professional aid that could be had in Manchester was procured on Monday; but, up to Tuesday, nine of the cases proved fatal, and further deaths were expected. The appearance of the disease had caused a panic among the rest of the workmen, most of whom, several hundreds in number, had fled trom the neighbourhood from fear of being involved in the calamity. Colonel Humtrey, secretary of the rail. way company, is now on the spot, attending, with meal cal men, to the various cases—upwards of twenty in number. Woodhead is situated in an upland part of the country, a short distance from Glossop, where the Duke of Norfolk has extensive property. .It is, perhaps, from its healthy situution, one of the last places in the kingdom where cholera, or any epidemic, might have beeu expected to appear... . . ~~~~~~ _~ NAVAL pZELLIGEN THE CG AST OF AFRICA STATION. PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY.--The Grt :earn-vessel, Commander Lysaght, whose inounced yesterday, left this afternoon at ir Woolwich to be paid off. She left Loando on the st of_April, and Ascension on the 20th, and brought 80 supernumeraries from that place. She arrived-at Sierra Leone on the 29th of April, finding tbe Sealark, 8, Com mander Monypenny, and the Pluto steam-vessel, Lieu- . tenant-Commander Joliffe, there. Shortly before there had been an engagement up one of the rivers near Sierra Leone with the natives ; the engagement was led by Commander Monypenny. There was some rough skir mishing, in which the Pluto had one officer (Mr. Moor man, mate) and five men wounded. The Grappler left .Sierra Leone on the 3d of May, and arrived at Bathurst (River Gambia) on the 7th. The Governor Dfactienald had left, with all his forces, on board, the Dover and Albert steam vessels to se ttl e a " war palaver" up the river with his chiefs, . who had some time before attacked and assaulted his Excellency and his secretary; he was now going to seek satisfaction and make terms. The residents requested that the Grappler might be allowed to remain to pro tect the colonists, but her commander declined, hav ing so great a number of supernumeraries on board. end the smallpox being very prevalent ashore, added to which the occasion did not stem to warrant the hazard of the probable consequences. She accordingly staled from Bathurst on the Bth, and anchored at Goree on the 9th, where she found. the French Commodore and two French corvettes, a brig, and a steam-sloop lying; took in coals and left on the 12th; went into Gomore on the 22d, being short of coal, having, indeed, exhausted her stock and been reduced to the expedient of burning the coal-sacks, spars, and other woode, to keep the fires in and steam up, which was a vital neceSeity, 'a large leak having sprung in her bottom, from the fact of the mouth of the hose, which is of copper, having corroded through the iron bottom of the ship; she made a great deal of water, so much as on one night to have forced up she . hatches. She was compelled to fend a schooner to Te neriffe for coals, a supply of which arrived from the Consul of that place on the 27th. She got away imam dietely, and anchor e d next morning at Teneriffe, where she replenished again, and l e ft o n the 30th; arrived at Madeira on the I s t o f J un e. At M a d e ira the mercantile residents were suffering great hardships from the long and highly detri menta l quarant i ne regu l at i ons , which had but just been taken off; the Grappler replenished coal again, and left Madeira on the 2d for England. Commodore Fanshawe, C. 8., in the Cr ntaur steam frigate, was at Ascension when the Grer left and was about going to the Bights and south c, to finish the introductory inspection of the station. We regret to state that there was every probability of a very unhealthy season cn the coast, from the threaten• ing way in which the tornados were coming on. The slave-trade was as brisk as ever. The Tenzer steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Selwyn, had taken a large full prize, but she had got ashore upon the mid dle ground at Sierra Leone. The prize was, however, hove off by the Sealark, and the slaves saved. Commander Dunlap, in the Alert, 6, was going to take the commend on the south coast as senior officer. Mr. Boulton, Master in command of the Dover steam vessel, lent to the Colonial Government of the Gambia, invalided at Ascension, and died at sea, on his passage home, in the Grappler. Lieutenant Harward, of the Alert, had been given the command of the Dover. The following officers came home passengers in the Grappler:—The Rev. William Bell, 8.A., late Chaplain of the Tortoise, to join the Superb, 80; Mr. Wickham, Paymaster and Purser, late of the Tortoise, term of ap pointment expired ; Mr. Morgan, Assistant-Surgeon, invalided ; Mr. Legh, mate of the Pluto; Mr. Norman, First Lieutenant of the Alert . ; Lieutenant Morris, of the Tortoise, to join the Favourite (paid off); and Mr. Raymond, Second Master, late in command of the Snap tender. The Contest, 12, Commander M`Murdo, will be the next ship home from the coast. The Rattler screw-sloop. Commander Cumming, ar rived at Ascension, from England, on the 6th of April. The Cyclops steam-frigate, Captain the Hon. G. F. Hastings, arrived at Ascension from the Bights as the Grappler was leaving. She had taken two slavers. The Firefly steam-sloop, Commander Tudor, had taken two full slavers since the last accounts. The Grappler took one on her way up to Ascension, making thirteen total as her portion of captures, by which she had liberated up wards of 2,000 slaves. A court-martial assembled this morning on board the Victory (Rear-Admiral Prescott, C. 8., President), to try Mr. John Rattray, gunner of the Blenheim steam guardship, acting Captain J. R. Stevens, for having on the Ist instant been found so drunk as to be incapable of performing his duty on board the said ship. The Court naving heard the case for the prosecution, and what the prisoner had to allege in defence, declared the charge fully proved, but in consequence of his previous good conduct did not dismiss him the service, but adjudged him to bo dismissed his present appointment, and reduced from the first to the third class of gunners in the Royal Navy. Wind—S. by W. (very variable) light airs, and cleudy weather. PLYMOUTH, JUNE 12.—Early this mornirg her Ma jesty's flae-ship Hibernia, 104, Captain Charles Wise, hove in sight to the westward, under all plain canvass. Inside Pelee she clewed up royals, and entered the Sound under her topgallant sails, at 5 o'clock. Inside the Breakwater she saluted the Port Admiral, and took her mooring ground to the eastward of the Camber. She Taft Malta on the 26th of April, arrived at Gibraltar on the 17th of May, sailed on the 18th, and experienced light northerly and north-easterly winds during the passage home. Her Majesty's steam-vessel Janus, 2, Lieutenant- Commander It. W. Powell, was at Gibraltar, having on board the daughters of Admiral Parker. Her Majesty's frigate Spartan, 26, Captain Thomas M. C. Symonds, was this morning reported off the har bour, near the Eddystone. The trial steamers Niger, screw, 12, and Basilisk, paddle, 6, returned on Saturday' evening, at 8 o'clock. The competition is said to have been iu favour of the screw, especially the first day, when she was able to get full power out of her machinery. On the second day, in consequence of defective power, her fires were let out, and some ashes were discovered in the tubes of the boilers. Under canvass only, where the Basilisk went two miles to windward the Niger went three. While in harbour both ships' boilers are, to be filled with water, the fires lit, and the time taken in eva poration is to be carefully recorded. On the next trial neither machine is to work at a higher pressure than tour, that being a point which the Niger's engines can at all times obtain. Her Majesty's steam-sloop Plumper, 8, Commander M. S. Noloth, sailed on Sunday for the West Indies. Her Majesty's steam-sloop Sphynx, 6, called on Satur day and sailed again on a cruise. The steam-vessel Shearwater, Lieutenant-Commander Edmund E. Turnout., arrived on Sunday from Ireland, and sailed on Monday for Portsmouth. The Cleopatra was paid wages yesterday. THE PACKET -SHIP ADIERICAN EAGLE. Yesterday the steam-vessel Conhance towed the store ship Andromeda, 44. from Hann ase into the Sound, where she is to receive the stores of the packet, and all the healthy and conveh scent passengers and crew of the American Eagle from her, and from her Majesty's ship Tyne. I\ o deaths have occurred since Thursday last. This day's report from the sin gfons, Messrs. Francis Fox and W. Brown, says,—" Diarrheas subsiding; the two severe cases first reported convalescent. The case of the German, reported on the 10th, will most probably prove fatal. The two remaining cases (one that of the man nurse from the shore, attacked yesterday afternoon) in some respe eta better." The merchant barque Colonist, Captain Headley, from Van Diemen's Land, 9th February, with oil, wool, potatoes, and grain, for London, was off this port, and landed a mail yesterday. The schooner Majestic, Reeves, from Palermo, for London, was outside this morning; all well.

SIR,—I perceive, with considerable surprise, from the reports of the proceedings at the Drury-lane Theatrical Fund dinner, that allusion was made thereat by his Grace the Duke of Beaufort, and by Mr. Harley, the treasurer of the fund, to Mr. Anderson, as the future lessee of Drury-lane Theatre from Christmas next, to which Mr. Anderson is reported to have responded " in a very eloquent address."

THE CHELSEA PENSIONERS.—AIIIOI7gSt the old /Adieu' who received medals in Hyde Patk on the Ist of June was a brave wt,:ran, Sergeant-Major James Stride, formerly of the 23d Dragoons, who was present at the battle of Waterloo, and who, on the Marquis of Anglesey's horse being s h ot under him, came up and gave the gallant Field. Mar>hal his horse. Major Forbes. at the close of the review, introduced the Sergeant- Major to the Muquis, who recollected the circumstance well, although he had lost sight of the person who had aided hits. Major F..rbes also introduced Sergeant- Major Strid e t o severa l o f the ladies present, who cordially sho k hand s w i t h him, a nd they: then vied with each other in obtaining his content to be allowed to pin the ribands of his medals to the brea st of t h e veteran pen sioner. Sergeant-Msior Stride can now boast of th ree medals—one for the Peninsula, with four clasps, one for 1 Egypt, aid one for W,Aterloo. 1
