GLOBE.—The inquest on Charles Beale, who died soon after leaving the Northleach House of Correction, has been brought to a close, and the verdict affirms that the deceased died of a dis ease of the lungs, brought on and aggravated by the treatment he received whilst a prisoner. Such a decision as this must be regarded as strongly condemnatory of the sort of discipline to which the inmates of the Northleach prison are sub jected. But lest the censure of the Jury should be thought to apply to the system alone, they express " their unanimous disapprobation of the conduct of the Governor Townshend, the surgeon Bedwell, and the under-turnkey, Harding." It has become a question with some of our Contem poraries whether a verdict ought not to have been returned, not only censuring the parties by whose fault the death of Beale was occasioned, but declaring them to be guilty of a grave offence, of which the law takes cognisance. Our own opinion is that the verdict goes far enough. k leaves the question of criminality still open ; and, if the facts are strong enough to bring any persons within the grasp of Justice, there is nothing in the verdict to prevent them from being yet placed upon their trial. It is d e clared that Beale died of disease of the lungs, " brought on and aggravated" by his treatment in prison. It is not as if he had gone into the gaol with health already impaired—when, perhaps,. the necessary discipline of a prison might have aggravated a malady of which the seeds had been previously sown ; hut in this case the cause of death was " brought on" by the treatment to which the de ceased was subjected. If there were more severity shown towards Beale than was required by the rules of the prison, the whole blame rests with the individuals who occasioned it. But if the management of the Northleach House of Correction is such, that any person confined in it is liable to contract a fatal disease under the ordinary treatment, then must the persons by whom that treatment is prescribed and sanctioned be held responsible. We do not see that Magistrates have any more right than other individuals to order, or permit ia an establishment un ler their control, such a curse of management as may be destructive of human life. The direction of the internal arran em!nts of a prison is a duty to which responsibili y ou ght to attach, as welt as to the exercise of . ny less important functions. Though the loca Magis trates have, in the case of the Northleach House of Correction, when sitting in judgment on their own conduct, passed a verdict of self-acquittal, they will not get off so easily at the bar of public opinion ; nor ought they to escape a legal tribu nal, if they have been guilty of ordering or permitting a series of enormities to be com mitted in the prison over whichthey had control. With regard to the condu ct of the governor, the surgeon, and the turnkey, who are expressly de nounced by name with the disapprobation of the Jury, inquiry cannot, of course, stop at the point it has already gone to. The surgeon, at least, must be wholly unfit for his office, if he erred in ignorance ; and if the death of his unhappy patient was caused by ill treatment and neglect, we must forbear from saying of what we consider the medlcal man to have been guilty. A memo rial has been forwarded to the Secretary of State, and it is to be hoped that any inquiry that is un dertaken may he carried out in a different spirit from that which is too often shown when the conduct of persons in authority happens to be in question. Let every fair opportunityofjustifica tion be afforded, and every facility given for the establishment of innocence, if it exist; but if there has been guilt, this is indeed a case in which an example should be made of it. STANDARD. —We are more vexed than sur prised to find that our remarks upon the Govern ment arrangements in Canada have provoked the dissatisfaction of more than one of our Irish Con temporaries. Were our censors parties less re spected by us than they are, we could easily dis miss their reproofs by the short answer, " point out what better could be done, or be silent;" but giving .them full credit for sincerity, and allowing for the strong sympathy that must exist between the loyal men of Ireland and the loyal men of Canada, upon the particular point under consideration—sympathy arising from the severe trials to which loyalty has been subjected in both countries—and the cir cumstance that in both the absence of a wider field of honourable enterprise in commerce and the professions renders the patronage of the Crown an object of very undue value—makin ,, , we say, these allowances, we feel thAt we owe more explicit defence of the propositions we have affirmed. Mankind are always the same; and it is as true now as ;t was when Machiavel wrote —nearly- four centuries ago—that there are but two ways of obviating the consequences of a rebellion ; the one, utterly to (16:able the rebels from renewing the war against you ; the other, to forget. as States only can forget, that is, practically, that the rebels ever were enemies. Men will, of course, differ as to the choice of these courses, an d that choice will, in the case of wise men , be determined by circumstances. We may, for ourselves, think that the first line is that which ought to have been preferred in Canada, and we have no wish to conceal our opinion that the best arrangement would have been one which, securing to the disaffected race the most perfect enjoyment of personal liberty and of their property, should have wholly stripped them of political power. It was upon this ground that we opposed the system of thew Durham and Sydenham administrations, with which we arc now reproached, as if such op position ware inconsistent with the opinions we have lately offered. The choice, however, be tween utterly disabling the late enemies of her - Majesty's authority in Canada, and an absolute oblivion of their hostility, (the only choice, we repeat it, open to any 'Government) was no longer free wh en th e p resen t Administration succeeded to office. The Ministers to whom they succeeded had not only pardoned the hostile party—in which, after th e rebellion had been suppressed, they were right—but invested her Majesty's late enemies with a large s h a re of political power - to retract that gift, on ce made, would be difficult, probably unjust, and certainly without precedent in the history of any civilised country. But to arm a party with p o wer, and then pr act i ca ll y to re member that that party had been hostile, such practical remembrance rconstitating a real, con stant proscription, would be to commit the ex treme folly of equipping and organising, enemies with whom to wage eternal war. There was, then,. no course open to the present Govern ; Thent but that of absolute oblirioit of all political offences committed in the province for the last fifteen years—an oblivion not merely nominal, but sincere and practical. SOUTHAMPTON, OCT. 26.—The steamer Lady de Sautnarez, Captain Goodridge, which should haye reached here this morning from Jersey, with mails and passengers, did not arrive, and intelligence reached Southampton in the course of the day, that she struck on the Casket rocks last night, owing to the tempest, and lost her hilly:arks, and was obliged in conseque nce to put into the Isle of Portland ; no serious accident occurred. The Grand Turk encountered the terrific gale also last night, on her voyage from Havre to this port : nothing but the good sea-going properties of - .tile Turk enabled !her to perform her voyage safely. The immense steam power that she can put on enabled her to: perform the voyage in spite of all obstacles in 14 hours.

AMSTERDAM, OCT. 22.—A person (said to be an English missionary) went in a vigilante to the Bree straat inhabited by the Jews, and distributed papers in the Hebrew and. English languages, the object of which was to convert the Israelites to Christianity. The missionary was, however, not well received, and was obliged to take flight. We believe that we may affirm that this Englishman has already left the city. THE HAGUE, OCT. 21.—We learn that the Con vention with Belgium was signed, the day before yesterday, by the respective Plenipotentiaries, so that it now wants only the ratification, to make it binding on the two Governments. We learn, also, that his Excellency the Minister of Finance set out yesterday for Berlin, in order to arrange, with King William Frederick, some points connected with it, in which the General Society, founded at Brussels for the en couragement of the national manufactures, is inter ested. The absence of the Minister will be very short ; and immediately on his return, the treaties will be formally signed. THE HAGUE, OCT. 22.—There is no foundation for the report gven in some foreign journals, of a pro jected marr i age between one of the Dutch Princes and a French Princess. The Committee for drawing up the address brought it up to-day at two o'clock ;it was referred to the Sections, which will probably examine it on Monday. BRUSSELS. OCT. 24.—We learn by a letter from Verviers of the 18th of October, that it appears, from experiments recently made, that the hectolitre of wheat, of the harvest of 1842, gives 8 kilogrammes (161b5.) of bread more than that of 1841; and that rye gives 141 kilogrammes per hectolitre more than last year. A considerable reduction in the price of bread has taken place in consequence. M. Nothomb paid a visit yesterday evening to M. Olozaga, the Spanish Envoy, who, as we hear, will shortly return to Paris, where he will wait for the answer of his Government respecting the treaty of commerce between Belgium and Spain. OCT. 25.—We are assured that at the opening of the session the Cabinet will present to the Chambers, for their ratification, the contract with Messrs. Roths child for the loan of 29,250,000 francs. The clerks in the several departments have been much employed for some days past in preparing the documents for the budget of 1843, which is nearly completed. It is said that there will be a deficiency of ten millions in the budget of 1842. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Oct. 26. IN RE SAMUEL ASKELL. The bankrupt in this case had carried on an exten sive business as a warehouse and Manchester merchant. The amount of debts and liabilities as stated in his schedule exceeded 47,0001., of which 24,0001. were described as without consideration, and nearly . 10,0001. upon accommodation bills. It was cal culated that the assets, so far as the assignees had yet realised them would afford about 4s. in the pound. Proofs to the amount of 3,0871. were admitted with out opposition. Upon one, on a bill of exchange for 1901. being tendered, the solicitor for the fiat objected to its admission on the grounds that the creditor (Mr. James) became possessed of it without consideration. After considerable discussion the further consideration of this claim was ordered to stand adjourned to the day appointed for the next audit. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.)

METHOD OF STOPPING BLEED' IN G FROM THE NOSE. THE MA (By Dr. NEGRIER, of Angicrs.) The following case, being one of those reported by the author, will show his method of proceeding : , .kerm, 1839.—A chimney-sweep, aged 14, had already lost 200 grammes (six ounces) of blood from the right nostril. The blood was still flowing very fast. I had the boy placed with his head high ; then, , with the forefinger of the left hand, I compress'd the nostril from which the blood was flowing; while doing this 1 made him lift up his right arm perpendicularly , telling him to keep it so for two minutes ; the haemor . - rhage had stopped in ten seconds. M. Negrier relates three other cases, quite ,similar. The following fact induced him to try the plan : " Some years ago," says M. Negrier, " cut myself under the nose while shaving. The blood flowed copiously from this petty wound , a nd I could not • stop it, either with court plaster a by. cauterising with the nitrate of silver. By c hance, however, I lifted up both my arms at on ce to reach something, and I saw, to my great stir.. prise, that the flow of blood, which was copio us I just before, immediately stopped. I lowered my arms, and the haemorrhage began again ; I again lifted them up, and again the blood immediately stopped. In this way I renewed and stopped the flow five or six times, in order to convince myself perfectly that the sudden raising of the arms was really the cause of the suspeh', • sion of the haemorrhage: Lastly, I kept my armsraised for • one or two minutes ; and during this period Pal plastic crust formed upon the cut, which put a fi stop to the haemorrhage."—Medical Gazette. • LLOYD'S SHIPPING.

THE TARTAN --- We have much pleasure in publishing a communi cation, which shows that after her Maj est g's visit to the land of the " mountain and the flood," her " heart warms to the tartan," and she has condescended to patronise an interesting branch of Scottish manufac ture. It may be explained that on the 7th current the Duchess of Buccleuch, by command of the Queen, addressed a note to the deputation of the woollen ma nufacturers of Tillicoultry, Alva, &c., who waited' upon her Majesty at Drummond Castle, requesting them to forward specimens of their manufacture, which was promptly done, and the following gratify ing letter from the Duchess of Buccleuch has been the result : " The Duchess of Buccleuch has received the patterns sent by Messrs. Drysdale, Paton, and Archibald, and begs to inform them, that she has chosen four 'shawls for the Queen, of the Royal Stuart, the Duchess of Kent, the Drummond, and the Menzies tartans, and she requests that two dresses may be sent, one of the tartan marked the Duke of Wellington, and the other the Atholl Murray. The Duchess of Buccleuch has selected for herself three shawls—Napier, MiLean, and APTavish, and the pieces of tartan marked the Duke of Buccleuch, the Duke of Wellington, and Sir Robert Peel. She re quests that enough or a waistcoat may be sent to her of Sir Robert Peel, and two of the Duke of Wel lington, tartans. " Drumlanrig Castle, Thornhill, Oct. 17, 1842."! —Glasgow Paper. SUPPOSED FELICITY of the PO NESIANS in a STATE of NATURE No picture is more deceitful than that which exhi bits the supposed innocence and delights of savage life. The child of nature is usually represented as being free from every envy and all the factitious pas sions of civilised existence ; a stranger to covetousness and ambition; happy in the enjoyments of those around him ; content with his present lot, and having no apprehension in regard to the future. Oppressed by no care, burdened by no toil, tormented by n 6 restless desire, seldom visited by sickness, his want s easily satisfied, his pleasures often recurring , the Otaheitan was conceived to pass his days in uninter rupted felicity, under the magnificent sky of the tropics, and amid scenes worthy of paradise. But a closer view disclosed a very different state of things. The lower classes were unmercifully plundered and oppressed by their superiors ; domestic happines, in its proper sense, was unknown ; the females were re duced to the greatest debasement, not being allowed to partake of the same food with their husband and brothers, and not even permitted to dress it at the same fire, or place it in the same basket. It is fur- ther asserted, that they were, generally speaking, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful, and that, under the dominion of the worst of propensities, they often acted more like fiends than human beings. " That there should," says Forster, "exist so great a degree of immorality in a nation, otherwise so happy in its simplicity and in the fewness of its wants, is :4 reflection very disgraceful to human nature in general, which, viewed to its g reatest disadvantage here, is nevertheless imperfect. " That this immorality did exist is not denied by one of the most ardent admirers of the Polynesians, who to the observation of a phi losopher could add the advanta g e of a repeated resi dente among them. True it is, that many who have ceased to do evil, after the manner of their uncon verted countrymen, have not yet learned to do well, to the full extent of their Christian obligations. Where sins are gross and shameful, the first step is more easily taken than the second ; and hence the missionary finds less opposition when he denounces a flagrant iniquity than when he enjoins a needful virtue or a becoming grace. Those who read with attention the Epistles of St. Paul to his converts, in the most refined parts of the Roman empire, will perceive that, though they had abjured the abominations of heathen ism and the useless ceremonies of the Mosaical law, their conduct did not, in all cases, throw a suitable light on the purer principles which they had openly professed. The fifth and sixth chapters of his first letter to the Corinthians prove but too clearly , that the licentiousness of pagan manners did not yield, all at once, to the holy precepts of the Gospel, nor to the instructive example of its self-denied teachers.— Edinburgh CabinetLibrary,No. XXXIII. Polynesia. a _ BRIGHTON RAILWAY.—The official returns of the Railway are verifying anticipation. They continue to show a large and, what is better, a steady traffic, the receipts of the week ending 15th instant being 4,6461. 15s. 11d., while for the six months ending October Bth last, the amount was, we understand, no less than 98,5681. 3s. 11d. If such is the case even now, with the traffic but imperfectly developed, what may not be expected next year, when the Paris and Rouen Railway is open. The goods' traffic on the Brighton line has already risen to seventy or eighty tons a day, and is expected to increase much more. In our last paper we mentioned that a survey was in progress for a coast line from Chichester, to join the Brighton Railway. 'We un derstand that this project is strongly supported by the Duke of Norfolk and Mr. John Abel Smith. It will increase the traffic of the Brigkton line very much, and it is said that the Brighton Company will lease it of 5 per cent. upon the cost, which will be small, as the country is quite level, and it is expected that 15,0001. per mile will cover the expence.—Brighton Gazette. ROYAL BUCKINGHAMSHIRE AGRICULTURAL ASSO CIATION.—An "Annual General Meeting of the Members of this Association" was advertised to take place on Wednesday (yesterday), the 26th inst., at the " George Inn, .Aylesbury." The main attrac tion of the advertisement was, however, the announced intention of his Grace the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos to take the Chair on the occasion, and to " dine with the members after the meeting." The opinions of a leading agriculturist are always of im portance to our fellow - count r y men, but the views of so distinguished an advocate of the interests of the British farmer as the Duke of Buckingham—who, it is presumed, has at no inconsiderable sacrifice thrown aside the patronage of a Minister of the Cabinet, and_ renounced office, rather than submit to what he himself designated an " unwarrantable interfer ence with the landowners of the country"—would, we thaught, be regardel by all classes with peculiar in terest at the present period. The frequent formula now a days returned by a Sheriff to an unfortunate client, who - is anxious to secure the person of some undiscoverable debtor, would not be inap plicable to the case of his Grace of Buckingham —he was " non est inventus." His Grace was sojourning at his estate in Hampshire. Whe ther his absence arose from his own disinclina tion to attend the meeting, or from a disposition to accommodate himself to the desire of , her Majesty's Ministers to suppress as much as possible all declara tions from influential quarters respecting the operation of the new tariff, is a question which we cannot deter mine, hut we can well understand the policy of the Cabinet at this moment to escape the possibility of any injudicious declaration on the part of their friends on this important subject. —Morning Advertiser. BIRD TRAP EXTRAORDINARY.—Upon the arrival of the Elk engine at Nine Elms, on Tuesday night, with the six o'clock train from Southampton, a lark was found in the ash-pa n (within six inches of the fire-bars), which had received no further injury from this novel species of bird-trap than the singeing of a few tail feathers.

EXTRACTS FROM THE « INQUIRY INTO THE SANITARY CONDITION OF THE LABOURING POPULATION OF GREAT BRITAIN."-(CONCLUDED MANSIOIV-HOUSE. THE BRITISH AMERICAN' ASSOCIATION FQR EMI GRATION AND COLONIZATION.—A man of seaman-like appearance, who stated that his name was Pratt, ap peared before the Lord Mayor, in consequence of the account which he had seen in the newspapers relative to the emigrants to Prince Edward's Island. He was accompanied by four or five persons who said they had claims against the Association or its agents. Mr. Pratt stated that he was the second Captain who had been engaged to take command of the ship Barbadoes, bound for Prince Edward's Island , and which it had been stated was on the point of sailing, and he was given to understand that a representation had been made to the Lord Mayor that his services were rejected, because he was excessively addicted to liquor. The LORD MAYox,said it had been mentioned that the Captain, first engaged, was in such pecuniary dif ficulties as to be afraid to appear publicly, and that the Captain appointed to supply his place having been found blind drunk, and in the company of a prosti tute, was considered an unfit person to manage a ship, upon the safety of which the lives of so many persons depended. It had also been mentioned in the state ment made in the Justice-room, that a third Captain had been chosen, who was considered unexceptionable, and that he was in the ship at Gravesend. Captain Pratt declared most solemnly that a greater falsehood could not have been told than that which reflected upon' his character as a man of sober and steady habits. The object of those who uttered such a calumny was merely to afford something like a reasonable excuse for the course they were pur suing. It was the wish of the passengers that he should go out as Captain, but he had peremptorily re fused to take the vessel under his command, as everything connected with it was a dark mystery, and there was no evidence whatever of the stability and correctness of all the arrangements, notwith standing the high description given in an swer to the complaints of the emigrants who appeared before his Lordship. The LORD MAYOR supposed that a satisfactory ar rangement had taken place between the party who contracted with the emigrants and the men who ap peared to complain on Monday, as he had heard no thing snore of the matter. It struck him upon that occasion, and he had mentioned the fact, that so important a business as that in which the Association was engaged, seemed to have been most loosely and negligently transacted. Well acquainted as he hap pened to be, from the nature of his own commercial transactions, with the means which ought to be adopted with regard to the transmission of multitudes of people to distant countries and harsh climates, he certainly felt that there was something which de manded explanation. One of the persons who accompanied Captain Pratt here stated that five of the emigrants were in London on the previous day, ready to make complaints, and that no money was to be had. It was, he observed, very extraordinary that an Association, boasting of such wonderful patronage, and promising nothing less than the making of people's fortunes, should be so badly managed that tradesmen were apprehensive lest the credit they might give would leave them in :he lurch. The LORD MAYOR said the superintendence of the pecuniary affairs was evidently defective, and he had no ticed that as one of the principal objections, amongst which another was the late period of the year for sail ing to such a climate. Mr. Hobler—A climate that requires Buffalo hides as a protection against the intense cold. Captain Pratt—The emigrants were most anxious that I should go, but I have withdrawn myself ; and I am anxious to get my clothes which are on board. The emigrants have, I understand, already objected to eat the meat given out to them The Loan MAYOR—I cannot consent to hear any more, except the parties interested for the Association are present, and I would not have listened to so much, if I had not been given to understand that they knew of Captain Pratt's intention to be here to• day. Captain Pratt assured his Lordship that he had intimated to the gentlemen who had attended to de fend the whole of the proceedings on the part of the Association, that he meant to apply to the Lord Mayor on the subject of the slander which had been uttered against himself, as well as other matters con nected with the contractor, the owner, and the Asso ciation. The LORD MAYou—Well, I shall not say anything more about the business until I hear from his Grace the Duke of Argyll, to whom I wrote yesterday. Such an account of what took place here on Monday has appeared in the press, as I am sure will lead to a complete explanation, for some of the highest names are mentioned as sanctioning the proceedings of the Association, and the strongest assurances are given that the Association was actually the child of the Duke of Argyll, and that his Grace entertained the most sanguine opinions of its success. , • The Captain and those who accompanied him, said they would wait anxiously for a communication from the Lord Mayor on the subject. Mr. Win. Bennet, a young man of comparatively small dimensions, was summoned by Mr. James Mil ler, an able-bodied six feet high, hulking Scotchman, for an assault. Mr. Miller said that he called at the house of. the defendant a few evenings ago, to inquire for some body, and no sooner had he put his head inside than he received a whack on the head from Wm Bennett. The LORD MAYOR—WeII, and what did you do? You are big enough to stop that sort of play, I think. Mr. Miller—He was higher up on the stairs, and he caught hold of a broom and gave me a topper with the handle. The LORD MAYOR—And all for nothing ? Mr. Miller—For nothing at all. The LoRD MAYOR—Pray, have I not seen you before, Mr. Miller ? Mr. Miller—l dare say you might, my Lord ; but that has nothing to say to this. The LoRD MAYOR—I don't exactly know that. Perhaps we shall know a little by , and bye. Pray, who was the somebody you went to inquire for ? Mr. Miller—Why, it was for my wife. The LORD MAYOR—Oh ! it was for your wife ? You have been here many times about her. I mean about beating and kicking her? Miller—That has nothing to do with this whatever, your Lordship. The LORD MAYOR—WeII, defendant, what have you to say to this accusation ? Mr. Bennet said that Mrs. Miller, having been grossly insulted and abused by her husband, and being apprehensive of some fatal attack from his brutality, had placed herself under. Mrs. BEnnet's protection, and was, when Mr. Miller called, in the house.

William Edwards, who had been remanded from the previous day on the charge of robbing several medical gentlemen under pretence of wishing to con sult them for a " bad thumb," was brought up for examination on the only remaining charge against him, that of Mr. F. T. Basire, who stated that he was a resi dent pupil of Mr. Phillips, surgeon, of 44, Albion street, Hyde-Park. On the 6th of September, at about half-past one in the afternoon, the prisoner rang the surgery bell, which was answered by wit ness. The prisoner asked to see Mr. Phillips, and on being told by witness that that gentleman was not at home, prisoner said he was willing to wait even for an hour, as he, witness, would not do, for he had a very " bad thumb." Witness thereupon invited him into witness's study, which was also used as a consulting room, where witness left him alone whilst he went to partake of luncheon with Mrs. Phillips in an ad joining room. There being but a very thin par tition, and merely folding doors between the two rooms, witness distinctly heard the bolt of the drawer-lock in the study click" as if turned by a key. Witness then sent the footman intothe room, telling him to fetch abook,and to see what the prisoner was doing, In some short time after this, the prisoner tapped at the door of the parlour, in which witness and Mrs. Phillips were sitting, and told witness he could wait no longer, and would call again in the morning. Witness attended him to the door, and was in the act of letting him out when Mr. Phillips came in, with whom the prisoner returned to the study. They re • mined in consultation some little time, and the pri soner left. In about a quarter of an hour after that witness had occasion to go to his drawer in the study, when he found that the key was gone and the; drawer locked. In this drawer he kept several articles of jewellery, consisting of two valuable gold mourning rings, &c., and on Mr. Phillips opening the drawer with a key of his own, he discovered that the whole of the jewellery, of the value of about 16/., besides a purse containing from 12s. to 18s. in silver, had been abstracted therefrom. Witness had seen all these safe in the drawer a few moments before the prisoner's arrival, and he could swear that no person save the prisoner, Mr. Phillips, and the footman , as before mentioned, had entered the room in the interval. He had traced the two mourning rings to the possession of a pawnbroker, with whom they had been pledged by or at the instance of the prisoner. Mr. Phillips said he saw the prisoner at the time mentioned by the last witness. The prisoner told witness he had injured his thumb in a frolic with some companions on the previous night. On examining the thumb witness's impression at first was that it was an old dislocation. (It was stated on a former occa sion that the prisoner has the power of dislocating his left thumb at will, which is by no means an un common thing). Witness finding that he could make nothing of the alleged " bad thumb," recommended the prisoner to go across to St. George's Hospital, permitting him to use his name to the house-surgeon, and telling him that probably that gentleman might be able to detect what he (witness) could not. As the prisoner was about to leave, witness asked him to whom he (witness) was iadebted for the honour of the introduction ?—(A laugh.) To which the pri soner replied he was recommended to come to witness by a man named Davis, of Prague-street, a person whom of course witness had not the slightest know ledge of. William Chapman, footman to Mr. Phillips, con firmed the evidence of Mr. Basire as to his being sent into the study while the prisoner- was there. Witness found him sitting close by the drawer belonging to Mr. Basire, apparently whistling for want of thought," and with his back towards the window. He seemed to be quite unconcerned about any thing. The prisoner declined to say any thing in answer to this charge. He also declined, although good humouredly pressed by Mr. Mould, to edify the Court by showing how he "did the trick" of dislocating his thumb at pleasure. He was fully committed for trial, and left the bar smiling with affected indiffe rence ; as on the previous occasions. THAMES-POLICE. Yesterday a young man, who called himself Billy Williams ' but who was named on the p olice sheet William Bell, was brought before Mr. BRODERIP, on a charge of being found on board the schooner Jane, in the London Dcick, with intention to commit felony. The prisoner is a native of New Zealand, and his face and arms were curiously tattooed. It appeared from the evidence of James Downes, the shipkeeper of the Jane, that he left the vessel soon after one o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, and upon his return, four hours afterwards, he found the lock of the fore castle hatch broken, and the scuttle taken off. lie looked down the companion, and saw the prisoner just under the ladder busily engaged in making into one large bundle a quantity of wearing apparel belonging to Downes, who asked him what he was after. The prisoner replied, in very good English, that he had come there for his things. Downes asked him what things, and the prisoner pointed to the clothes, and said " these things." Downes said he would obtain a written pass from the Dock Company, and forced down the scuttle for the purpose of securing the pri soner, who made a determined resistance, and tried to force his way out. Downes was obliged to strike him, and sent hint to the bottom of the forecastle by the run, and kept him below until one of the gate keepers arrived, who took him into custody. The prisoner then said he belonged to the ship, which was denied by the Captain, who recognised him as a per son who had been hanging about the ship for several days, but was not allowed to come on board. The prisoner had removed the whole of the shipkeeper's wardrobe, in value about 101., and a quantity of books from his berth in the forecastle, where they were stowed away in a bag, and had spread them on the floor ready to carry away, when he was interrupted. Mr. BRODERIP said the asportation was complete, and he should treat the case as one of felony. The shipkeeper would have met with a very serious loss if' he had not so opportunely returned. He asked the prisoner if he had any defence to make ? The prisoner stared, first on one side, and then on the other, and looked in every direction but ,the right one. The officer said the prisoner spoke a good deal of English on Tuesday evening, and he now pretended not to understand a word. The witness then addressed the prisoner in his own tongue, and said he had picked up a good many words when he was in New Zealand. The prisoner—l don't savey savey now. The witness—He means by that, he won't under stand anything now.—(Laughter.) Mr. BRODERIP — It is very laughable, certainly. There is something in the atmosphere of this Court which deprives foreigners of their English very soon. The depositions were then read over very distinctly by Mr. Leadley, the clerk, and the Magistrate being satisfied the prisoner understood what he heard, com mitted him to Newgate for trial. THE OLD TOLBOOTH. STEEPLE (From the Glasgow Argus.) The renovation of this ancient tower has of late been the subject of various paragraphs in the news papers. During the disastrous reigns of the later Stuarts, Glasgow Tolbooth was frequently tenanted by the victims of their tyranny—the Covenanters of the West were in great numbers immured within its dungeons, and not a few who had been confined there ended their days on the public, scaffold. Of these in mates, many interesting tales might be told ; but to enter upon such a field would be travelling beyond our purpose—and to make any reference to the history of the prison, so far as regards its criminal records, is still farther from our intention. We are not sure of the fact, but there is some reason to believe that, in 1725, when the Shaw field riot took place, even the Magistrates of the city were placed within the precincts of the Tol booth. Certain it is, that on that occasion they were taken prisoners to Edinburgh, and stood trial before the Lords of Justiciary for mismanagement, if not some thing worse, in connection with the riot, when they were all honourably acquitted. To this riot, never theless, the city is indebted for the impost on ale and beer, which was raised, in the first instance, to reim burse Mr. Campbell, of Shawfield, for the oss which he had sustained. Apart from its actual history, however, the Tolbooth of Glasgow has been made ever memorable by Sir - Walter Scott, in his novel of "Rob Roy," where he represents the outlaw and Bailie Nicol Jarvie as holding, unknown, at the first to each other, interviews with the unfortunate Owen. Every reader must be familiar with the descrip tion of the worthy Bailie thundering at the identical door which forms the subject of our notice, while the Dugald Cratur kept ward and watch within, and with the graphic and interesting account of the scene in the prison, where the Bailie became aware of the pre sence of the fearless freebooter. The old Tolbooth was erected in 1603, and there is no reason to doubt that the present is the door originally erected. In 1812 the gaol was sold to the late Dr. Cleland for 8,0001., being about 45 1 . th e s q uare y ard for the groun; and when that building was taken down, the tower, and of course the doorway into the prison, were left untouched. There are no records showing that any repairs had taken place on this portion of the building previous t 6 1812. -...m.•••••••••••••••••• SELF-DEVOTION.—This new novel, edited by the ' popular author of " The Subaltern," comes before the world under circumstances of such peculiar and touch ing interest that even the sterling merit of the work itself will probably be a second consideration in the attention and curiosity it will excite. Its writer, a young and beautiful Scotch lady, whose first literary production, " The Only Daught er," g ave rise t o the very highest expectations as to h er future literar y ca reer, recently died suddenly ab road, j ust as her lite rary hopes were on the point of being realised in the reception which will certainly be given to this her se cond, and, unhappily, her last work, entitled " Self- Devotion or, The Dist of A:all-123-1m Randolph." Though the deaths from accidents bear only a small proportion to the deaths from disease, yet registries show that the scattered deaths from various descriptions of violence amount to an average of about 12,000 yearly, in England and Wales alone, or more than aroused the national attention in the late massacre of the troops of the empire during the war in India.—Page 205. The amount expended in ardent spirits (exclu sive of wines), tobacco, snuff, beer, &c., con sumed chiefly by the labouring population, can not be much less than 45,000,0001. to 50,000,0001. per annum in the United Kingdom. By an esti mate obtained from an eminent spirit merchant, of the cost to the consumer of the British spirits on which duty is paid, the annual expenditure on them alone, chiefly by the labouring classes, cannot be less than 24,000,000/. per annum. . In the town of Bury, with an estimated popula tion of 25,000, the expenditure in beer and spi rits is estimated at 54,1901. annually, or 2/. 35.4 d. for each man, woman, and child. But on an in quiry made from house to house by the agency of the Manchester Statistical Society into, the condition of the labouring population of this town, with such an expenditure on one source of dissipation and ill-health, it appeared that of 2,755 of their dwellings examined, only 1,668 were decidedly comfortable; that a smaller num ber were well furnished; that the number of families in which there were less than two per sons sleeping in one bed were only 413 ; that the number in which on the average there were more than two persons. to a bed was 1,512; that the number of families who had not less than three persons in a bed and less than four, was 773 ; that the nuniber of families in which there were " at least four persons, but less than five persons to one bed," was 207. There Were sixty-three families where there were at least five persons to one bed.; and there were some in which even six were packed in one bed, lying 'at the top and bottom—children and adults. Similar results as to misapplied means and numbers crowded to gether would be ascertained from similar inqui ries into the state of the population in other . di tricts.—Pages 227, 228. DISTRAINING ON POOR TENEMENTS.—In some of the worst neighbourhoods in Manchester, the whole population of a street have risen to resist the service of legal process by the civil officers. In the course of the Constabulary Inquiry I was informed by the superintendent of the old police of that town, that one of the most dangerous ser vices for a small force was attending to enforce ejectments. This they had often to do, cutlass in hand, and were frequently driven off by showers of bricks from the mobs. The collection of the rent weekly in such neighbourhoods is ,always a disagreeable service, requiring high payment. This, and the frequent running away of the te nant, and the waste, greatly reduce the appa rently enormous rent obtainable from this poorer class of tenants.—Page 235. MODE OF PAVING WaoEs.—The direct sani tary effects may be best displayed in the follow ' ing evidence of Mr. Lomax, an army pensioner, which has been corroborated by superior officers : —" When I was in the Life Guards ' fourteen or sixteen years ago, there was a good deal of ill health prevalent amongst them. Before that time the men received part of their pay weekly, namely, seven shillings at the end of the week. With this seven shillings they had to provide the food which they required, except their dinner. The ration for dinner was three-quarters of a pound of uncooked meat, a pound of potatoes or vegetables, and a pound of bread. It was found, however, .that many of the men spent the whole of the seven shillings in a single day in drink or dissipation. During the remainder of the week the men would be on what was called the crib bite,' that is, living only on their dinner rations.. I knew many of the men who drooped under this system, partly from the excess of drinking or dissipation, and partly from the privation of the necessaries of life and the work they had to undergo. This, again, led them to much temp tation. If anything was lost it was amongst this class of men that we looked for it. The crime book would speak as to the further bad conse quences of these habits. The plan was then tried of paying the men one shilling each day. Over and above that the men were provided. with coffee. It was universally felt that this change was highly beneficial to their health, and it stopped the dissipation, and the consequences of the dissipation."—Page 245. EXTENT AND PREVALENCE OF PERSONAL UNCLEANNESS AMONGST W ORKPEOPLE. M r. John Kennedy, in the course of the examina tions of some colliers in Lancashire, asked one of them—" How often do the drawers (those employed in drawing coals) wash their bodies ? None of thedrawers ever wash their bodies. I never wash my body; I let my shirt rub the dirt off; my shirt will show that. I wash my neck and ears, and face, of course.—Do you think it usual for the young women (engaged in the colliery) to do the same as you do ? Ido not think it is usual for the lasses to wash their bo dies; my sisters never wash themselves, and see ing is believing; they wash their faces, necks, and ears.--When a collier is in full dress, he haS white stockings, and very tall shirt necks, very stiffly starched, and ruffles? That is very sure, Sir ; but they never wash their bodies under neath; I know that; and their legs and bodies are as black as your hat." One labourer remem bered that a particular event took place at Easter, " because it was then he washed his feet." The effects of these habits are seen at the workhouse on • almost every one of the paupers admitted. When it is necessary to wash them on their admission, they usually manifest an ex treme repugnance to the process. Their com mon feeling was expressed by one of them when he declared that he considered it " equal to rob bing him of a great coat which he had had for for some years." The filthy condition in which they are found on admission into the hospitals is frequently sufficient to account for the state of disease in which they appear, and the act of cleansing them is itself the most efficient cure.— Page 253. WASTE WATER FOR BATHS.—A few years since a gentleman, observing some ditches in London, in the neighbourhood of City-road, smoking with clean hot water, running away from the steam-engine of a manufactory, directed attention to the waste, and suggested the expe diency of using that water to supply public warm or tepid baths. After a time the suggestion was acted upon as a private speculation, and large swimming-baths were constructed; one, with superior accommodations and decorations at one shilling ; another, with less costly fittings-up, at Sixpence the bath. These were luxurious tepid baths, kept at a heat of 84 degrees. The ex , ample appears to . have been followed in West -tninster by the establishment of similar tepid swimming -baths, where only threepence is charged to persons of the working-class. As many as 2,000 and 3,000 of this class have re sorted to these baths in one clay, and the bath at the lowest charge is stated to make the best re turn for the capital invested in it. Similar esta blishments are, we believe, in progress in other parts of the metropolis.—Pages 254, 255. Besides those means which affect immediately the health and moral condition of the work people, others are within the control of their em ployers which affect the personal appearance, and, through the self-respect, the morality of the population. Mr. 'William Fairbairn, in the course of an examination, adverted to respecta bility in personal appearance, thus—" It is always,' said an indication of looseness of character, and a low standard of moral con duct, to see a mechanic in dirt or in his working-clothes on Sunday. Thirty years' ex perience leads me to draw a very unfavourable conclusion as to the future usefulness to me, and of success to himself, of any workman whom I see in dirt on a Sunday.'—As a general rule, does the advance of his house keep pace with the advance in condition of the person? As a general rule, it does. Better personal condition leads to better associates, and commonly to better marriage, on which the improved condition of the house is entirely dependent. It is due to the labouring classes of females in Lancashire and the surrounding districts to :state that, in the im portant household virtue of cleanliness, they are superior to the females of the same class in Scotland.—Are you aware of what is the con dition of their houses—haVe you visited them? I have not made it a practice to visit them, I chiefly judge of their circumstances from seeing them with their wives and families, and their well-dressed and respectable condition on the Sundays. These externals are always indications of greater comforts and respectability at home. I am a strong advocate for dress, and encourage the working men to dress well: if I see any workman in a dirty condition and in his working clothes in the streets on the Sunday, I do not, perhaps, speak to him then, but on the Monday I tell him that 1 have. been looking over the books, that I find that lie has bad as good wages as other men who dress respectably, and that I dfs not like to have any one about me who will riot dress well on the Sunday. This intimation 'has generally had the desired effect."—Page 261. EQUIVOCAL NUISANCE. —The complication of various nuisances in some of the larger mann fa cturing districts has frequently become so great as top* them beyond any existing legal remedy, witethir private or public, by plucinl out of the THE WAR IN CHINA. Extract of a letter elated Chusan, Jan. 30, 1842 : ...3k"rhe troops continue very healthy, the diseases being chiefly those induced by intemperance. The winter has been very grateful, and more mild than the previous one. During December we had a heavy fall of snow for some days, and for about three weeks keen, biting, frosty weather, the ther mometer being often as low as 20 deg. and 24 deg. The people of this island, and those in the other parts of China which have come under my observa tion, are a fine class of men, well formed, intelli gent, and in many points highly civilized ; the lower orders muscular, healthy, and to all appear ance happy under their Government, which is not certainly so oppressive as is generally supposed in Europe. In agriculture and in native manufactures they are far advanced, and in most of the mechani cal sciences they possess great genius ; but of the art of war, as practised amongst Europeans, they know nothing, and they are at once appalled with the effective power of the mighty engines of death which we bring against them. There has, indeed, been nothing like fighting upon this expedition, and those who have mingled in the various actions would scarce recognize them in the flaming despatches in which they are described. The Chinese Govern ment seem to have adopted a new policy in keep ing aloof from all negotiation, and deserting their posts of defence as we advance. Reinforcements of European troops are expected here daily, and it is then contemplated to attack Hong-chou-foo and Nankin ; then to move to the northward about the middle of April, land at the mouth of the Peiho, and march upon Pekin. I am afraid this will be a sad failure ; and, from the knowledge we possess of that part of the country—its great flatness and un healthiness—there cannot be a doubt but the loss, of life from disease will be most serious. Even if Pekin is reached, the Emperor has still Tartary open to re treat upon, and to follow him is an impossibility; thus the object of our taking a city which we cannot keep will be frustrated, and our force weakened and dis pirited. " The people here come freely with bullocks and pigs for sale, and our market is plentifully supplied with fowls, ducks, great varieties of fish, and all sorts of vegetables and fruits, at moderate prices. Phea sants, woodcocks, snipe, and teal, have been plentiful. China, indeed, is rich in every production, both in the animal and vegetable kingdom. "After the taking of Chusan I collected all the wounded, placed them in a house near to my quar ters, amputated their limbs, and dressed their sores. Many of them have recovered, and have been sent to their homes ; only two now remain ; they have each had a leg amputated, and are now quite well. One is a fine Tartar soldier, about 6 feet 2 inches in height, who had his leg shattered while fighting bravely at the beach battery. At first he considered my object was to torture him, but he is now the most grateful and pleased being in the city. lam now getting up a subscription for them amongst the officers in the garrison to pay their passage, and enable them to reach their homes, where they must carry with them so me remembrance of our humanity." THE TEMPLE CHURCH. The near approach towards the completion of the great work of repair which has been going on in this church during the last two years will, be sufficient apology for the introduction o f the following brief notice of its present state to our readers, all of whom may be supposed to feel some interest in this, the oldest ecclesiastical structure in the metropolis. The repair and restoration was commenced in 1840, at the joint expense of the two Temples. The dilapi dated state of the building, in a great measure owing to the reckless manner in which the walls and pillars had been overlaid with heavy monuments, rendered these works necessary ; and in accordance with the im proved feeling now prevalent in the public mind in re gard to church architecture, the Benchers were led to extend the mere repair into a restoration of the build ing, as nearly as possible, to its original state and ap pearance. This has been done on a scale of costli ness and magnificence which has no parallel within the last few centuries. The architect who commenced these works was Mr. Savage; but owing to some differences between that gentleman and the Building Committee of Benchers, the charge was transferred to Mr. Sydney Smirke on the part of the Inner Temple, and Mr. Septimus Burton on t hat of the Middle Temple. The repairs have been executed with stone of the same description used in the original construction of the church, all of which is obtained from quarries in the vicinity of Caen, in Normandy, whence it acquires its patronymic. THE ENTRANCE PORCH is for the most part new, the excessively ornamented old doorway having been partly renewed, and the remainder reworked and re stored. THE CIRCULAR NAVE.—ThO six clusters of old Purbec marble columns which formerly supported the whole superstructure have been removed, and new columns of the same material substituted. The ceil ing of the centre part, which was a truncated dome of comparatively modern erection, has been taken down, and a new oak vaulted and groined ceiling substituted, painted by Mr. Willement strictly in accordance with the style of the period. The whole of the wall, arches, and aisle vaults have been reworked, and new polished marble shafts substituted for the old columns. This measure was found absolutely necessary from the ad vanced state of decay into which those portions of the structure had fallen. The sculptured figures of the Knights Templars have been restored in the most per fect manner, and will again occupy their former posi tions. The carved oak screen which divided the nave from the chancel, and over which the organ was placed, has been removed, and it is intended to erect elaborately executed bronze gates in its stead. THE TRIFORIUM or THE NAVE has been converted into a depository for nearly all the monuments which formerly disfigured the walls of the church. They are now far better seen than, heretofore, and the col lecOon forms a highly interesting gallery of monu mental sculpture, containing mural tablets of most of the eminent lawyers of the last century and a half. THE SQUARE CHANCEL.—The old organ gallery, pe wing, pulpit; altar screen, &c., have been cleared away, and the nave and chancel thrown into one. A loft for the organ and choristers has been erected on the north side, occupying one bay, with a vestry be neath. The whole interior surface of this part of the building has been reworked and made sound. The north and south aisles of the church are occu pied by stalls divided into five compartments on each side. These are of the finest oak, with elaborately carved ornaments of every possible variety. Fifty-six sittings (two com partments) are reserved for the Benchers of the Inner and Middle Temples. Two divisions will accommodate the Bencherfe ladies ; four will be filled with the barristers of the two inns, and two by the barristers' ladies. The whole of the centre of the church is fitted up with sittings for the students, in the cathedral style of arrangement. The original ceiling has been coloured, as was proved by the dis covery of portions of the old painting, but successive white-washings had obliterated it It is now painted as it is supposed likely to have been, and in accord ance with existing specimens of the lath century. The altar is entirely new, from the design of Mr. Smirke, its extreme beauty being much enhanced by the magnificent windows which surmount it. The creed and commandments are painted black, in church text, on a gold ground, the initial letters being illumi nated, the whole producing a richness of effect, com bined with an elaborateness of detail, perhaps never before equalled. The prevailing colours• used in the decorations of the walls and roof of the chancel ate blue and red. The ceiling is divided into compartments, alternately ornamented with the armorial bearings of the two bodies—the flying horse for the Inner Temple, and the lamb and staff for the Middle Temple. Figures of several of the early Kings of England are em blazoned on the walls, and the shield of the Holy Cross worn by the Knights Templars, is also fre quently introduced. The extent of labour bestowed on the various carvings with which the Church is adorned has been immense. The whole of the designs for the stall ends and elbows, consisting of grotesque heads, &c., have been furnished by Mr. Cottingham, the well known architect and author, and the mechanical por tion.has been excellently carried out by Mr. Nash, of Hercules -buildings, Lambeth. The desk now erected is merely temporary, it being considered prudent to ascertain the most eligible posi tion by actual experiment, previously to the definite adoption of a site for the handsome carved oak pulpit which is in preparation. The organ, one of the few superb instruments built by Schmit, more than a cen tury since, has been entirely reconstructed by Bishop, who has greatly extended its power by the adoption of fifteen large pedal pipes, and corrected a few de lfacts in the original. g r ille floor is paved with glazed. ,KET IRISH MAR OUBLIN MARKET NOTE for KETS. ,he Week . ending OCT' Il ia* -' To AI • 3,9'0 Wheat,perbarrol2o ;tone.... 19 0 30 0 I I 6 78 8ere,...... id stone lO n 12 0 12 3 0,227 Barley 16 M0nt....". 10 0 15 0 6 3 14,496 Oats 1 4 stone 7 5 13 0 ...
