Mr. Hawdon, a solicitor, of New Inn, was brought up in custody of Burchall, the officer, charged with a violent assault upon the porter of the inn. J. S. Wright deposed that he was head porter to the Society of New Inn. He was on duty at the gate on the night of Thursday last. About half-past nine o'clock a promissory note was presented at the gate, which was payable by the defendant. Witness told the person to go up to Mr. Hawdon's chambers, which he did, but returned in a few minutes and said if any one was in he could not make them hear, and desired witness to bear in mind that such a bill was presented in case he should be called upon as a witness. Seeing a servant who was going up to the same chambers, he desired him to tell Mr. Hawdon of the circumstance, as he might even then save it from being noted ; he returned in a few minutes, and said Mr. H. wished to see him. He went up when he was relieved at ten o'clock, when defendant swore at him in a most dreadful manner, and called him a liar and a scoundrel for sending him up such a message. Witness said he was no more a liar than defendant was, when the defendant struck him three or four times with a candlestick, and upon his making resistance, he closed with him and struck him severely several times, at the same time threatening to throw him down stairs and over the window. Witness called for the watch man, who came up, as he thought he would have been murdered. _ _ John Bishop, another porter, said he heard the cry of " Watchman," and went up, when he found the defendant striking the former witness, and trying to throw or shove him down stairs. He interfered, when he also was struck. The defendant said he had been called a liar by Wright, because he said, that being his servant he ought to have brought up the message himself, and not have sent such an impudent one by any other person. He did then strike him, but considered he was justified in so doing. He paid the complainant 41. 4s. a year, and he was therefore in his service. Mr. MiNsmiLL said he was not justified in assaulting any person in such a manner, and must pay a fine of 51. The money was paid, and the prisoner discharged. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-THIS DAY.

Montreal papers to the 27th February, have been received at the North and South American Coffee house. bill has been published for the abolition of imprisonment for debt, an innovation which is consi dered as an improvement in the mercantile laws of Canada. It appears from 'a statement in the Courant of Saturday that thirty-three temperances societies were reported at the Convention of Wednesday last, of which, we have since been informed, twenty-seven were actually repre sented by forty-two delegates. Seventy-three delegates were expected, but thirty-one were prevented from attending by the badness of the roads, sickness, and other causes. The only arrivals THE this FUNDS morning are the French mail, a Flanders mail, and the express from Paris ; the latter arrival is rather of more interest than for several days past, as it positively states that the Spanish Government are determined to send a force into Portugal at the request of Don Pedro, but at the same time the Austrian, Prussian, and Russian Ambassadors have protested against such a measure. We are of opinion, should this invasion take place, it will be with the consent of England and France ; therefore the protest of the Northern Powers will not avail. Count Poz zo di Borgo is to give a grand entertain ment to the Diplomatic Corps at Paris, by which we presume that the late interviews between the different ambassadors has terminated to his satisfaction. The information from Madrid of the 26th ult. rather throws a damper on the recognition of the Cortes Bonds. By accounts from Bordeaux it appears that a second address has been published by the Director of the Spanish Sinking Fund, to the Minister of Finance, which disclosed fresh embarrassments, with the impos sibility of meeting the debts at home and abroad with out a compromise with the creditors of the State, which would cause a bankruptcy. There appears to be a pause in the operations of the Queen's armies. Up to the present hour we have no arrivals from Portugal. Consols opened at the rice they left off yesterday, 91* for money, and 918 for the account, with little doing as yet ; at present they are 918 sellers ; Spanish 34 1 ; Portuguese 65+. HALF-PAST ONE. We hear of a vessel having arrived at Plymouth from Oporto, by which letters have been received, stating that negotiations were going on between the two brothers. Don Pedro proposes to his brother to leave the country, and in compliance he will grant him all his estates, with a large annual income ; if he re fuses, and in the event, is obliged to retire, his estates will be confiscated, and no income granted to him. This we hear on 'Change. Consols have become heavy since the early part of the morning, owing to a report that the trades' unions have received an answer from Government that they will not reprieve the sentence of the men who were found guilty; and, in consequence of which, the trades' unions are to assemble this evening, to the number of forty thousand. Consols 902„ ; Portuguese 65k ; Spanish, 304. No arrival s from Portugal.

FATAL EFFECT OF DRUNKENNESS. On Thursday last Mr. William Mason, farmer, of Bourn Fen, left Spalding in the evening in a state of intoxi cation, with the intention of returning home. -He was riding in a light cart, drawn by a blind horse. H e passed' through the toll-bar at Guthram Cote, about midway between Spalding and Bourn, and when about one mile further, in the parish of Bourn, the horse being blind, and the rider being unable to guide him from the effect of liquor, he plunged into a ditch at the side of the road, overturning the cart, and though the drain had not more than two feet of water, both horse and man were found drowned next morning. The watch found in Mr. Mason's pocket had stopped at five minutes after nine o'clock, that probably being the time when he fell into the drain. An inquest was held on the body by Mr. Edwards on Saturday, and a verdict of " Accidentally drowned" was recorded. The de ceased was sixty years of age.—Boston Herald. ASSIZES RECEIVED THIS DAY, WESTERN CIRCUIT, LAUNCLSTON, APRIL 1. ATROCIOUS CASE OF ASSAULT BY A LAD OF FIF TEEN ON A MARRIED WOMAN.—Alfred Rae, fifteen years of age, was put into the dock this morning charged with having assaulted Grace Brenn, in the pa rish of Botusfleming, with intent, &c. The prisoner is a respectable looking youth, of middle stature for his age, rather stout built, pale complexion, but no thing in his physiognomy indicating the ferocity of dis position which the examination fully proved he pos sessed. Grace Brenn, the prosecutrix, was put into the wit ness box. She appeared to be in a state of extreme suf fering. The witness is 31 years old, and very interesting. She is a widow with two children. Her cottage con sisted of small rooms; viz. a front and back kitchen, and a bed-room over these, to which access was had by a staircase leading from the front kitchen up to and into the same. On the night of Tuesday the 11th March, she was on the point, at half-past nine, to retire to rest, when she heard a knock at the door, and and asked " Who's there ?" Some one answered, " a lad—a boy." She asked who he was ? He said he had lost his way, and desired her to open the door. She said she could not think of opening the door ' • it was time every one should be at his own home. He said, you had better ! She then unlocked the door, and opened it ; the prisoner at the bar was the per son ; she had seen him once before • he had called the re some weeks previous to inquire the way to Cargreen. On opening the door, he said he had lost his way. [Here the witness betraying symptoms of exhaustion, was accommodated with a chair.] He said it was dark, and he would rather go in and stop at her house, and with that he came in, the door being then open. He locked the door on the inside, and took out the key. He said he was tired, weary, and hungry, and desired witness to put on the kettle and make him tea. This she did with fear and trembling. He said he should like to have a bed. He eat bread and butter, with which witness supplied him. Rae said he had no money, but would call in the morning with Mr. Bee and pay for .it. She did not know Mr. Bee. He ordered witness to bring a bed down. Witness said she had two beds, but could not think of a person like prisoner sleeping in the house. He said he would go up and bring it down himself. She said, oh no, sir, she would fetch the bed down herself. She went up stairs and threw down a bed. She came down again, lighted a candle for him, and put it on the table near the window. She took her own candle and went up stairs, and drew home the door of the stair case after her. There was no other fastening but the latch. She put her own candle in a little window close by the bed, and lay down by the side of her little boy. Both the children were with her on the bed. She took off none of her clothes but her gown, which she replaced by her bed gown. She did not go to sleep, and her end of candle, which was all she had left in the house, a rush light, had burnt down in the socket, when Rae rushed into her room to the side of the bed where her little girl lay. Witness was on the other side by her boy. He took up the girl, and flung her to the bottom of the bet, and in a moment threw himself across the bed, and laid hold of witness by the head. I exclaimed, " Good God, what have:l done ?" I got his hands off my head, and continued screeching. [Here followed evidence of the brutality of the prisoner, developing a series of the most shocking expressions and brutish attempts on the witness. Thrice he thrust a handker chief in her mouth, to prevent her cries ; repeatedly knocked her down across the bed and on the floor; the witnesss stating explicitly acts, the evidence of which was conclusive of the attempt, and all but accomplish ment of his diabolical purpose. The prisoner had no thing on but his shirt at the time of attacking witness.] The witness at length succeeded in gaining the stair case, down which she rushed, when the prisoner, lean ing over the rail of the stair head, laid hold of her hair, by which he attempted to pull her up stairs again. Her hair gave way, and she fell through the stair case door, at the bottom of the stairs. Witness got up and tried the front door ; the key was still out. " I tried to push the lock back ; he came down again; I continued screeching, and said, I wish I'd never opened the door to him ; he said, if I had not, he would soon have opened it. I sprung to the window ; he caught me by the left arm and side, and dragged me back. He repeated an abominable expression, and, for the twentieth time, threateaed to murder me ; he took up the fire-shovel, and struck me three times across the head." [Witness had previously stated that prisoner had said he had a brace of loaded pistols and a razor ; that he was connected with a gang, and would compel her to his purpose.] " I caught the shovel in my hand by the shovel part, and got it clear from him. My head was cut and scarred very much. All his aim then was to murder me. He said he passed by the door a few night agone with three more of the gang. I said, spare me my life for the sake of my dear little father less children. He said, will you promise me never to split, or to divulge, or to make it known ? I said, no, sir, I never will. He said, I must put you upon your oath ; if you divulge, and I am taken up and punished, the others will soon do for you. He said, are you agreeable ? I said, yes ; any thing to save my life ! He said he should be put to death himself by his gang. He said he never wen t t h roug h but one such case before, and then his life was a narrow escape to him, or something to that effect. I fell upon my knees and he said the words over that I was to say. I cannot recollect them exactly, but the last were ' Holy Ghost.' I then thought he was going to spare my life. There was blood upon the floor. He said to me, ' You must wash yourself.' I said, Yes, sir.' He said, ' You must, for you are all over blood.' I said, I will get some water,' and I took a basin, but he said he would get the water. He went out and returned immediately. I said I would wash up the blood from the floor, as when Mr. Fitzgerald's groom came to the stable close by he might notice it. Prisoner had thrown away the water with which I had washed. I took the basin out to the pump and lifted the handle once or twice and then ran away to William Summerfield's. The prisoner was brought there by William Summerfield and Mr. Fitzgerald's servant. They asked me if that was the person. I exclaimed he was the rogue. Prisoner fell on his knees ; he said, My dear ma'am, if you'll forgive me, I'll never do the like again.' Before I left my house, he ordered me up stairs whilst he dressed himself ; he ordered me down, and I came. He took up the candle, and said, ' I fear I have injured you too much to spare your life.' [Here the witness described her desperate condition, the dreadful effects of the assault.] — One tooth had been knocked down her throat, another broken off in' the jaw, which was much swollen, her head had been cut with the shovel, her limbs much bruised by the fall over the stairs. ( Other hurts were described of a nature not to be put in type.) Her eye was much swollen, which she proposed to prisoner that she would say was the effects of a cold, if any one asked her the cause. Prisoner said, stop, I fear I have injured your throat too much. I had been ill for some time and wore a handkerchief, he said, you mus t wear a wider one, if I spare your life. When I was laying in a bed at Summerfield's, my aunt asked him how he could be so wicked as to use me so violently. He said something about waking up in a delirium. The prosecutrix was cross-examined by counsel for the prisoner, but no part of her sad recital was invalidated. W. Summerfield spoke to Mrs. Brenn coming to his house, at a distance of a quarter of a mile from her cottage, at about half-past two in the morning. She had on a gown loosely flowing about her ; her hair was dishevelled. She was screeching for her children. He fetched her children ; and then saw her in bed. Witness's mother was washing off the blood which was flowing from the back part of her head and which had wetted her cloathes. William Cullis and Summerfield captured the prisoner, but no evidence was given at the trial as to the means of capture. Counsel addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner, endeavouring to show that the youth for a time must have been possessed of a demon, or that the whole account of prosecutrix was exaggerated, as it appeared more like a tale of fancy than an exposition of facts. Rae was stated to be a well educated youth—morally and religiously. Mr. Bee was called to character. His LORDSHIP charged the Jury, who, without much hesitation, returned a verdict of Guilty, with a recom mendation to mercy. The Learned JUDGE, in delivering the sentence of two e li s years' imp r i sonment, and hard labour, explained that nothing could rihm have sh Hadthedhsis guilty am she not i resisted s b t en brutal atlo purpose,t h e n riu l o ife s and t From an ignominious death. The General Steam Navigation Company's mail packet, the Lord Melville, from Rotterdam, arrived off the Custom-house, at one o'clock this afternoon. Within the last two years the attendance at the High School of Edinburgh has fallen off 200 scho lars. —Edinburgh Weekly Courant. HUE AND CRY for MISSING ULTRAS, " Where, and oh where is my Highlani ladd'e gore?" OLD SCOTCH SONG. Where, oh where's John Wilson Croker, Semi-poet, ditto joker; He who " Talavera"* writ, And, no doubt, repenteth it, Since its most belauded cantcs Wrap up tarts, or line portmanteaus ? Where's our Irish Homer, where? He can't be in Russell square, For he nothing knows, not he! Of such /ow geography—t Where is dear Lord Londonderry, He who makes us all so merry, With his fine moon-face of wonder, And his aptitude for blunder, And his rich Grimaldi grin, Which to prize not is a sin ? Where is he, whom Tories call Honest Charley Wetherall ; Whose speech is a quaint Prolegomenon, Whose very shirt is a phcenomenon ; Who daily cultivates the Graces, Albeit he escheweth braces ? Where are all these great men gone ? We must find them, every one, For London—now the funny time Has gone by for Pantomime, Now that Punch is stale or still, Munden's dead and Liston's ill — Is quite dull and drowsy grown For want of some rare fool or clown, To bid her shake through roof and rafter With a thunder.clap of laughter. Come then, Wetherall, Croker, Vane, Come and bid farce live again ; Come among us, and give tongue To speech, history, or song ; Fear riot we shall sneer or snore; No, we're sure to read and roar Charles, you Fball burlesque a storm In some speech against Reform ; Vane and Croker, matchless twain Ye shall do the whole campaign , Of our Doctor-Duke in Spain ; One in prose and one in verse, (Just as Punch might do, or worse) 'Till o'erpowered by glad surprise At your rare absurdities— Unrivalled e'en by Blackmore's—Derrick's— All town goes off in strong hysterics. • The Right Hon. Gentleman wrote divers poems on divers of the great Duke's battles during his Spanish campaign. In some of their more tragic touches these poems were remarkable for their sprightliness. They were, however, too closely modelled on the Gazettes. t• In the House of Commons some few years since, Mr. Croker professed utter ignorance of the topography of Russell_ square. He had heard a vague rumour that there was such a spot, but he was not geographer enough to lay down its position on the map. In consequence of this declaration, some public spirited individuals at the west end, fitted out an expedition of discovery, which, after encountering unparalleled perils from the hostility of the Drury lane and Holborn savages, succeeded in reaching within two degrees of the strange continent. The Square has since been ascertained to lie in lat. 33, long. 54. / The great Duke has now degenerated into Dr. Wellesley, 13.C.L , and turned head.schoolmaster of the University of Oxford. We fear the " schoolmaster" will here find himself " abroad" indeed THE POLES, RUSSIA, PRUSSIA, AND AUSTRIA. The following are the terms of the treaty concluded between the. Emperors of Russia and Austria, and Prussia, on the subject of the extradition (the surren dering) of political delinquents in their several States : " We, Frederick William, &c. " In order to consolidate still better the intimate relations of friendship and good neighbourhood subsisting between us and their Majesties the Emperor of Austria and Emperor of Russia King of Poland, and for the common interest of the three Powers to• maintain tranquillity and legal order, in the Polish provinces, submitted to their sovereignty, we have agreed with their Majesties in the following arrangements : " Any person in either the Prussian, Austrian, or Russian provinces, who shall be guilty of high treason, leze-majesty, or rebellion by arms, or has been an accessary in any plan against the safety of the throne or Government, shall find in neither of the three countries protection, or an asylum.

EXTRAORDINARY ARREST—CHARGE OF MURDER. — Yesterday a man named Ryan from the neighbourhood of Cashel, in the county of Tipperary, was arrested on board the Ocean—an emigrant vessel now lying at the Quay, and about io sail for America in a few days, charged with the murder of a man who was returning home from the races of Cashel a few weeks ago. Immediately after the murder, Ryan ab sconded from his residence in that part of the country, and was not heard of since till he was recognised yes terday on board the Ocean, by a labourer who had been formerly a neighbour of Ryan's, and was, we under stand, a cousin german to the deceased. He instantly after the recognition gave information to the Mayor, who had Ryan arrested shortly after. He is now lodged in the city prison, and will be transmitted to the county gaol of Tipperary in a day or two.— Water ford Chronicle.

' Braham re-appeared last night, in his and the public's favourite part of Masaniello, in Kenny's opera of the same name. We need not criticise Braham's perform ance of Masaniello farther than to say, that it is just what it was. At the bottom of the bill of the night, in reference to the postponement of the production of Lord Byron's Sardanapalus until the 10th April, there is a singular mistake, which is worth correcting. It seems that the Lessee has engaged Mrs. Mardyn, whom many of our readers may recollect as a very beautiful woman and a lively actress —we will not be ungallant enough to say how long ago. She is to have the part of Myrrha in Sardanapalus, and in the bill we are told that " the noble author wrote the part of Myrrha for Mrs. Mardyn." This certainly is a gratis dictum, since not only was the tragedy composed abroad, but in the Preface Lord Byron expressly states not only that he never intended it for the stage, but that he hoped it never would be brought upon the stage, as had been the case, against his express wishes, with The Two Foscari. Hence it is impossible that he should have written the part of Myrrha for Mrs. Mardyn. How the error originated we know not. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVALS. Hon.

YORK CoiuirN.—This was the day fixed for placing the colossal statue of the late Duke of York at the top of the column erected on Carlton-House Terrace, but the preparations are not yet ready, and the ceremony has been deferred until next week, when it will certainly take place, and the guards have re ceived orders to hold themselves in readiness to attend on the occasion. The scaffolding around the column, which is curiously constructed and exceedingly strong, will be finished on Saturday, and it will occupy about five - hours to raise the statue from the ground to the place destined for its final elevation, and it will be rested but once on a platform by the workmen during its lofty assent. The mantle of the statue is very large, and is that of the Order of the Garter ; but the figure is represented dressed in boots, which have a bad effect. Yesterday the workmen were employed in finishing the platform near the top of the column, and in preparing the block on which the statue will be placed. Lord Durham, since his arrival in Paris, has been busily occupied in the investigation of the com mercial question, in all its bearings, between the two countries. His Lordship has been in communication with those persons who have taken an active part in the discussion, and who, by their knowledge and posi tion, give to their opinions the highest value. He has frankly stated the reasonable demands and expecta tions of England, and, there is good reason to believe, with very useful results.

G SAND MEETING AT BIRMINGHAM On the morning of Monday last, the day appointed for the meeting, the utmost activity and bustle prevailed by the assembling of the Trades' Lodges, who were seen mustering in all parts of the town. Shortly after eleven o'clock they had all arrived at Beardsworth's Repository: The Repository was quickly crowded to excess, and although capable of holding at least twenty thousand persons, it was soon found much too small. A cry of " Adjourn to Newhall-hill" was immediately raised. The vast multitude, consisting of not less than 40,000 or 50,000, then re-formed, for the most part in procession, and proceeded in the most orderly manner through High-street, Bull-street, Snow-hill, Stc., to; the place of its destination. On the re-assembling. off the meeting on Newhall-hilt, The CHAIRMAN opened the business by reading the placard calling the meeting: He said it would be for that meeting to tell the government that they felt deeply the blow aimed at them, in the cruel and vin dictive sentence recently passed on the six men at Dorchester, for the crime of meeting, with their fellow labourers, to protect themselves from any further de preciation of their labour.—( Hear, hear.) And, he would ask, was it not time to unite for such a purpose when their wages did not average 7s. per week each ? —( Cries of " Shame.") Mr. HANSOM then presented himself amidst loud cheers. He confessed that, after healing the news last night from London, he could scarcely trust him self to speak upon the subject, for the consideration of which they were assembled. A lett& arrived in Bit , mingham late last evening, stating that it litrit been de= termined the six unfortunate men should sail - for theii destination on Monday morning, should the wiliftprove favourable.—( A loud murmur, and cries of " Shrliex shame," here burst from the assembled thousands'..y New, considering the - excited state of the country on the subject, was there, he asked, any decency shown in this haste ? What could it mean, but that the go vernment were resolve 4 to rase against them that power, which the very men whom he, latt before him had given to them a short time ago on that for the benefit of the whole community ?—( Loud effes of " Hear.") The sentence passed on these innocent aiiiitt:2offending men was enough to make the blood freeze' in their veins. He trusted that the cruel sentence, which tiy the solemn act of that meeting was about to be condem:ileli would have the effect of arousing the productive rah, lions from one end of the kingdom to the other, and make those unions which it was intended to put down ten times more numerous and determined than ever.— ( Tremendous cheering.) He hoped that the workmen in Birmingham, and the other manufacturing districts of the country, would come forward and boldly declare their determination to stand by their brethren, the agricultural labourers, among whom he was glad to find the principles of union were fast spreading.— , ( Cries of "We will, we will.") Let them for a filo= ment cast their eyes over to France, the government of which country had made an affectionate league wilbt our own rulers, and thus entered into a kind of Trades`' Union of their own. —(Laughter.) The French go vernment were getting a law passed through the Chambers rendering it criminal for even twenty men to associate together without their leave. This was certainly a bold measure, and yet our own government seemed to be determined to outdo even that.—( Cries of " Hear, hear.") Were they disposed to submit to treatment like this ?—( One tremendous shout of " No.") Then if they were not, they must see the absolute necessity for forming the most complete and extending associations to protect their labour from further depressions, and to enable them to take it to' the best markets.—( Great applause.) Mr. Hansoni concluded by proposing a resolution in accordance with his speech. Mr. WATSON seconded the resolution. Mr. MORRISSON had not arrived many hours from London. Such was the excitement which prevailed, in the metropolis, and other parts of the country, that the government would be compelled in deference to public opinion to remit the sentence.—( Loud cheers.) To-morrow the answer from the King would have been received, and if that answer should be unfavourable, it was the determination of the whole lodges in London to have a grand holiday, which, it was expected, would be followed by other parts of the kingdom. All England would stand still. Every hammer would cease to beat, and every shuttle to move, until justice was conceded, and the rights of industry established. Tremendous applause.) The CHAIRMAN put the resolution, which was car ried unanimously. Mr. FLEMING, a delegate from Edinburgh, proposed the second resolution. He looked upon the sentence as a violent and unwarrantable outrage upon the rights of the people. A man closed in the judicial ermine had dared to pronounce a sentence which, if carried into execution, would unsettle the very foundations of society in this country. —( Cheers.) Let the pro ducers of wealth in every corner of this great kingdom arouse and prevent this ; theirs was the task to restore the husband to his heart-broken and disconsolate wife, the father to his children,•the master of the house to his own fireside, and to his duties as a British subject. —( Cries of " We will, we will.") Mr. Fleming concluded, amid loud applause, by moving the second resolution. Mr. GEORGE CONOLLY, delegate from Belfast, se conded the motion. The united voice of the nation must speak loudly. As the representative of a large number of individuals in Belfast, he could say that the working classes in that large and important town, and through them the workmen throughout Ireland, would do their duty.--( Applause.) Mr. HUNT supported the resolution. He strongly recommended that petitions should go up to the King and the parliament from every lodge, every town, vil lage and hamlet in the kingdom, and let the petitioners speak in a voice which should command attention.— ( Loud applause.) The motion was put and carried unanimously. Mr. BLAXLAND moved the the third resolution. Mr. SHOVELBOTTOM seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Mr. KING proposed the adoption of a petition to the House of Commons, in doing which he observed, that if the laws of England sanctioned the punishment which had been inflicted on the six men at Dorchester, the sooner the people had done with such laws the better.— ( Cheers.) Mr. BLADDER seconded the resolution, which was put and carried. Mr. HETIIERINGTON moved a resolution which ap plied to Mr. Hardy, the member for Bradford, who had recently spoken in the House of Commons against trades' unions. Mr. STOKES, jun., seconded the resolution. The CHAIRMAN put the resolution, which was car ried unanimously. Mr. SMITH, a delegate from Coventry, moved the next resolution, which was a vote of thanks of the men of Derby and ;Norcester. Let the reporters then pre sent tell England that they courted the utmost publi city and notice ; they wished not to be bound together by secrecy ; they were not a band of revolutionists, but men determined to promote the best interests of huma nity, though at the risk of transportation, or even of death itself.--( Loud cheers.) Mr. BUCKLEY seconded the motion. The resolutions having been put and carried, thank, were voted to the Chairman, and after three cheers for the Dorchester labourers, three for the men of Derby and Worcester, and three for the cause of trades' unions, the meeting dispersed in the most peaceable and orderly manner. WESTALL AND MARTIN'S ILLUSTRA TIONS OF THE BlBLE.—Another example of the ex traordinary quantity of treasure that may be purchased at an insignificant price. Among the countless " Il lustrations" of the day, these claim, for more than one reason, to rank first—first in interest and fruitfulness of subjects—first, certainly, in cheapness, and equal to any in excellence. The design of the work is ad mirable, the execution of it masterly and complete. For one shilling only, here are eight illustrations of the beauties and sublimities of the Old Testament, such as would grace the handsomest and costliest volume. None that can possibly spare a shilling, will suffer their Bibles to remain unembellished ; while those who can afford a little more, may obtain large copies of them, to bind up with their quartos and family editions. This opening part contains the Crea tion, the Temptation, the Judgment of Adam and Eve, and the Deluge, all bearing vivid traces of the original and masterly hand of Martin ; with the Ex pulsion of our First Parents, Cain and Abel's Sacri fice, the Assuaging of the Waters, and Hagar and Ishmael, by Richard Westall. They ought to be bound up with every Bible, be it a rich man's or a poor man's, a child's or a philosopher's. The Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge would not b?, labouring in vain were they to send myriads of copies of them to the uttermost parts of the earth, to teach loveliness, and truth, and wisdom, even to these Wio* cannot read ; for these are books which all can und.ir stand—their language is universal.—Sunday Paper.
