The morning was ushered in by joyous peals from the different church bells of the metropolis, the West-end of which had been for hours previously in a state of com motion, owing to the anxiety of a great number of loyal sight-seekers, who had determined at all hazards to get near the scene of action. At midnight even hundreds were wending their way along the road from Hyde park corner towards IVindsor, with the spirit and glee which may have often been observed on the Ascot day. It was a strange medley of boys, girls, and "children of larger growth," of every grade. Besides the pedestrians numerous parties in carriages took the same route at an early hour, whilst the railway was literally beseiged by persons anxious to avail themselves of that mode of transmit ; but the first train was specially engaged by those whose duties or pleasure called them to the Castle, but could not be accommodated in Windsor. In town all the public offices, and most of the wholesale ware houses in the City, were closed. The shops generally were open. At the West• end there were illuminations, which, although confined in number, were very brilliant. All the devices embraced the letters P. W. (Prince of Wales), with Prince's coronets, Stars of the Garter, &c. On the river the vessels hoisted all their colours, And en livened the scene as much as the extreme dullness of the day would allow. _ THE ILLUMINATIONS. The illuminations in the last evening, were very numerous and splendid. Among the most re markable were those of the Guards' Club-house, Crock ford's, the Army and Navy, the Colonial, the Wynd ham, the Carlton, the Reform, the Senior United Ser vice, and the Oxford and Cambridge Club-houses. The Prince's feathers was the general symbol. A great number of private tradesmen, including:, of course, those employed by the Court, illuminated their premises with elegant and ingenious devices. All the theatres fol lowed the example. Even those exempt from the authority of the Lord Chamberlain exhibited . as bril liant displays, in honour of the young Prince, as the patent theatres. The , Surrey was loyal in the ex treme. On the outside of the building the managers .. ;~-- TH_g SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 26, 1842. exhibited a large transparency of the Queen and Prince Albert, with the motto of " Our English Rose —the Bud—the Blossom," and also enjoined the poet of the establishment to write two additional verses, to be sung with the National Anthem at the rising of the cur tain. In the City the illuminations were less frequent. The PAINTER of the CHRISTENING. TO - RANTER. Flowing colours! flashing colours !—ye that upon high Ever beauteous make the clouds and rainbows of the sky— Ye that stream your rose and gold from rays and sun- light-gushes— Ye whose rich carnation tones tint the Summer's blushes Jacinth ! Opal ! Chrysopraze ! Would I could combine All your shades and splendours in one gathering divine — Bind them in one glowing heap, with roscid lustres wet, And fling them all triumphantly on HAYTER'S proud palette. Painter! thine a noble task—quit thee nobly then! So thy work hereafter stand a worship among men: Gather thou the images of all transcendant things—. Flush thy work with pomp of lights and rosy glitterings: Sure the dazzling Royalties that wait upon thine art, Shall make its living miracles to full perfection start — Make its shades and radiances, and harmonizing tints, Strain their finest spendour-tones to picture England's Prince ! Paint him-0 how splendidly !—enmantled in his bright Apparellings imperial of purple and of white Lay him in embroideries with gold and gem o'erflowered— Paint a rain of starry eyes thrice-sweetly o'er him showered : Paint upon his infant lips, by Kings and Princes kissed, Drops more sweet than honeycombs, with dews of amethyst : Types of his own innocence, let lily-flowers spring, Then strew him all with silver-drops of sainted christening. Round about him gird a throng of Princes and of Kings, With purples, and with pageantries, and gorgeous bla- zonings : Crowd the casques and coronets ; with plumes, and swords, and spurs, His nobles, and his Barons bring, and knightly homagers : Gonfalons, and herald-arms, and trumpetings, and throngs Of people and gay minstrellers with loyal-sounding songs : But proudest show, and chiefest, 'mid the grandeurs of the scene, The mother bright that bore him—England's diamond- crowned Queen ! Now, Harpers ! peal your honours—to the princely infant ring ! Your honours to the courtly Sire.from whom his graces • spring And honour—mighty honour—to his mother bright and bold ; Who truly through her infant's veins her own rich blood hath rolled And honour to the Painter—full honours, loud and long, Who lastingly hath fixed the seine in draughtings grand and strong : And blazoned, on this famous day, in Colour's living spring The young and primal glory of a newly , christened King. SCRAPS UPON CHRISTENINGS. Parvoque Alcmena superbit Hercule, tergemina crinem circumdata Luna. Proud of her son, behold Alcmena wear Three moons, an ornament to grace her hair. The present august occasion, on which the Heir to the Throne is supposed to be admitted into the Church, and sanctified to a virtuous life, not . unappropriately allows of some remarks on the nature and antiquity of the ceremony, as well as some account of the mode of performing it in different countries, and also of the more remarkable christenings of British Princes. Christening, according to its verbal significa tion, is disguised under different names in eccle siastical phraseology. Palingenesia is one of the most ordinary, which signifies a new birth—the true signification of christening. It is otherwise called the " Signaculum Domini," or Seal of the Lord, which the water-cross marked upon the fbrehead by the officiating christener imprints. ANTIQUITY OF CHRISTENING.-:-Although ae cording . to the obvious derivation of the word, christening would have been supposed to have originated. with Christ, yet many among the learned attach to it a far greater ancientness. Grotius was of opinion, that the rite of christen ing had its origin from the time of the Deluge, immediately after which lie thinks it was insti tuted in memory of the world being purged by water. ----- - ORIGIN OF WHITE-SUNDAY OR CHRISTENING DAY.—St. Cyril in explaining the symbols and ceremonies ,of christening, says that after being printed on the forehead with the cross, the child christened was put into a white garment, to de note his being washed from the defilements of sin, or, in allusion to that of the Apostle, "as many as are baptized in Christ have put on Christ." From this custom the feast of Pentecost, which was formerly one of the annual seasons of christening, came to be called Whitsunday i. e. White-Sunday. CIIRISTNNINGS AT ito3lE.—Among the cere monies used in the Papal dominions, is that of blessing the salt, a little of which is put into the child's mouth, with the words " Receive the salt of wisdom." This is performed at the church door. Being come to the font, the spirit of origi nal sin which is supposed to dwell in the child is exorcised, and taking a Little of his own spittle, with the thumb of his :right hand, the priest christening, rubs it on the child's ears and ItOS.. trils, repeating, as he tau ches the right ear, the word Ephatha, be thou opened; oils are then poured over it, and the cbtilld is anointed. CHRISTENING AT THE G A NGES.—The Brahmins believe that christening has a virtue in it of re mitting and washing away all sins. At the season that the waters of that immense river are clear, and the brilliant weather sets in, the cleansing or sanctifying qualities attached to its streams, cause the people to flock from the remotest parts even of Tartary. CHRISTENINGS BY FIRE.--St. John's expres sion of " baptism by fire" has occasioned much conjecture. The fathers h eld on this point that all children before they. enter Paradise are to pass through a certain fire, which is to purify from all pollutions offlesh- The ancient Selen cians and Hermians, undo' rstanding the passage literally, maintained that material fire was ac tually necessary at baptisms. Valentinus re baptised all who had received only water-bap tism, and conferred on th em the baptism of fire. CHRISTENING PRESENTS.—In Germany these are in extensive use, and are made by the sponsors to the infant, consisting of money, plate, and sometimes fiefs of lands, *hich by the law of the country are to be kept for the child till of age, the parents holding them :in trust. CHRISTENING 'AF A PO:PE.—Perhaps one of the prettiest christenings o n record, rendered so by the very apt and beeatiful triplets that com memorated it, is that re le.ted by- the quaint. old Fuller on the occasioniong of christening Sir William Pope's little da tighter, in the presence of King James, who was then on his progresses. While the waterdrops • were sprinkled upon it the babe was presented. to King James, who acted as sponsor, with a copy of the following verses in its hand:— See this little misty ee is here, Did never sit in Pets r's chair, Or a triple crown dig 1 wear, And yet she is a 1 'ope. No benefice she ever sold, Nor did dispense wit, h sins for gold, She hardly is a seven night old. And yet she is a Pepe. No King her feet did ever kiss, Or had from her wor to look than this— Nor did she ever hi rpe To saint one with a rope, And yet she is a . 'Pope. A female Pope, you'll say— a second Joan ; No, sure, she is Pope Innoc, mt., or none. PRINCES CHRISTENED AT WESTMINSTER.—ItI the noble pile of Westminster , just after its aisles and transepts had been re bu ilt by his father Henry 111., Edward the Pin t was christened, The mild virtues of the Cot fessor were thus hoped to be conveyed with the name which Saxons loved and revered. Young Edward V. was ...christened in the Jerusalem Chamber of the Abbey, not by in tention, but by the pressure iof afflicting circum stances. The distressed Q. seen of Edward IV. had fled thither, when th a victorious Lancas trians were bent upon n. capture, and as a sanctuary-woman she confi dell in Thomas Mil ling, the Abbot. No pomp a ttended this deso late christening; the font of stone was arrayed in no draperies of gold. or tit ;sue; a small knot of friends, rather in fear than. 7 :. in pleasure, assisted at the conferring of the ca 3remony upon one, whose after-fate was yet a n t yste r y. Th e ki n d Abbot stood godfather ; 1 lit. godmothers were the old Duchess of Bedf curd, his own rand mother, and the attached attendant of his mo ther, L ady Scrope. Another Westminster C' bi ts the only son of Henry V 1., =hi c k was per * tening was that of formed with unusual pomp b il . the pious Wayn flete, Bishop of Winchester. The sponsors on the occasion were the Duke o f S o merset, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Buckingham. The font on t" ; occasion was ar rayed in russet cloth of ra td the Duchess of g old , and , circled by a blaze of tapers. The chr ysot ne, or christening man tle, in which the Ro-f a l I n t h e was received a ft e r immersion, cost 554'i. io s „ Bd., and the issue rolls state that it was very rich with embroidery and precious stones. Within this mantle was a fine white linen wrapper, to prevent the brocade and gems from coming, in contact with the deli cate skin of the young heir. Ten Duchesses, eight Countesses, one Viscountess, and sixteen Baronesses received writs of summons to be pre sent at the churching,festival of the Queen his mother. ALTERATIONS IN 'CHRISTENING SINCE PRINCE EDWARD'S TIME.—The first liturgy of King Ed ward was materially different in its form - , from that now used and authorised by the book of Common Prayer. The form of consecrating the water anew did not then form part of the office, as the water in the font was changed and con secrated, but once a month. What was called the triune immersion was then in use ; it is now dis continued. By the first common prayer of King Edward, after the child was baptised, the god fathers and the godmothers were to lay their hands on it, and the minister was to put on him the white vestment commonly' called the Chry. some, and to say, " Take this white vesture as a token of the innocency which by- God's grace, in this holy sacrament of christening, is given unto thee, and for a sign, whereby thou art admo, nished, so long as thou livest, to give thyself to innocence of living, that after this transitory life thou mayest be partaker of the life everlast ing." This was done in imitation of the primitive Church, but it is now discontinued. CHRISTENING AMONG THE . MOUNTAINS.—On the birth of Edward 11., by Eleanora, consort of King Edward 1., and who bore him in the Eagle Tower of Carnarvon Castle, he was shortly after christened, not among the damasks and draperies of gorgeous chambers, but amid the rude and rocky fastnesses of 'Wales. Sheathed in armour, the supporters of his sire stood around him at the ceremony, and the chiefs of the land imprinted their reluctant kiss of homage on the cheek of the young Plantagenet, who could speak no word either of French or English. CHRISTENINGS AT - WINDSOR, WOODSTOCK, KENSINGTON, &C.—Edward the Third was chris tened'with great splendour four days after his birth, in November, in the chapel of St. Edward, Windsor. The ceremony was performed by the Cardinal Arnold, and though the . Prince had se ven godfathers, the name of not one godmother is recorded. Queen Isabella and. her French nobles urged that he should be called Louis, but the English nobles, always averse to a foreign name, insisted on its being Edward. Subse quently Henry VI. was' christened at Windsor : his godfathers were his uncle, John Duke of Bed ford, and Beaufort, Bishop of Winchester. Jac queline, Countess of Hainault, presented him at the font, who was known by the familiar nick name given her by Henry V. of Dame Jake. Edward VI. was christened in the chapel of Hampton Court; Charles 11. in the Chapel Royal of St. James's Palace; Richard 11. in a foreign land; Edward the Black Prince in the Bowers of Woodstock, where Edward 111., his father, resided in almost domestic retirement with his Queen Philippa, who was not only his Royal Mother ; but also herself his nurse. Her ' present Majesty, Queen Victoria was christened at Kensington Palace. CHRISTENING OF GEORGE IV.—Pepys, who was present at the christening of the last Prince of Wales, gossips of the occasion in one of his letters thus :—" Our next Monarch was christened last night, George Augustus Fre derick ; the Princess, the Duke of Cumberland, and Duke of Mecklenburgh, sponsors; the cere mony was -performed by the Bishop of Loudon. The Queen's bed, magnificent,.and they say in taste, was placed in the great drawing-room ; though she was not to see company in form, yet this looked as if she intended people should have been there." The attendants, on his Royal Highness on this occasion were roverness, Lady Charlotte Finch; deputy governess, Mrs. Hen rietta Coultsworth ; wet nurse, Mrs. Scott; dry nurse, Mrs. Chapman. - CITY-CHRISTENINGS. — The importance which Was of old attached by English people to ordi nary christenings, may be gathered from two in stances related hy Stowe. In the year 1561, a daughter of a Knight and Alderman of the City on being christened, is thus described :—" A fair maid carried the child to the church, in a white satin gown, the mantle of crimson satin, fringed with gold of four inches broad. The Master of the Rills and my Lady White stood sponsors, and afterwards there was a splendid banquet at home." The second christening was concluded with " a great banquet, consisting of wafers and hippocras ; French, Gascoigne, and Rhenish wines, in great p!enty, and all their servants had abanquet in the ball, with divers dishes." THE ABSOLUTE CH RISTENERS OR AN BAPTISTS. —Queen Elizabeth had so violent an antipathy to the people of this sect, that, upon their first arrival in this kingdom, in the year 1560, she commanded them instantly to quit it. The Ab solute Christeners have in all ages stood so staunchly by their principles, and boast from this cause so many martyrs, that their " Mar tyrology" forms a large volume in folio. Bayle wittily nicknamed them " Waterlandians." MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TUESDAY EVENING.

The objection which we have so often made against this Review--namely that it is much too heavy and prolix in its character for the purposes of general entertainment, applies with peculiar force to the Number before us, which possesses quite an elephantine ponderosity. Not only is the matter dull, but the manner is equally unat tractive—that is to say, it is almost uniformly devoid of spirit or vivacity. That many of the • contributors are scholars—and ripe ones too—we are far from denying, for evidences of reading, aad not unfrequently of recondite research, are. manifest in most of the articles; but unluckily they have not the tact of rendering the various themes they discuss acceptable to the general reader. For instance, in the very first article, " On the Successive Discoveries of America," the Reviewer, instead - of contenting himself with enlarging on the authentic periods of discovery, goes back to the days of the Deluge, and the Noachidte, or descendants of Noah," as if any thing in the shape of serviceable reasoning could be drawn from such remote ages, where all is at best but guess-work and speculation ! The clos ing pages of this article are in a far more inter esting strain, though we must protest againSt the fairness of any hypothesis which should deprive Columbus of the honour of having been the first discoverer of the New World. " If," says the Reviewer, " we have established our case rela tive to the anti-Columbian discoverers of Ame rica, we come to regard Columbus himself in a new light. We may not admire him so much an original discoverer, but as one who repeated and established the accredited discoveries of his predecessors in a most heroic and glorious style of experiment. If; therefore, we admire Columbus less as the hardy adventurer who, with a dogged and desperate resolution, hoping against hope, launched forth on the Atlantic to discover he knew not what, we reverence him more than ever as the keen-sighted and philoso phic truth-searcher, who, from the accumu lated testimony of ages, in the haughty independence of conscious genius, moulded a most refined yet demonstrable theory of geographical facts." In opposition to this theory, however plausibly supported, we still hold to the opinion that Columbus was the first European who ever trod on American ground, and put little faith in the " curious fragments of ancient Icelandic geographers ;" aad still less in the statement that "in the eleventh century Adam of Bremen heard of the discovery of Greenland, from Swell', King of Denmark." The " Unity and Catholicity of the English Protestant Established Church" is an article whose object is to show that, this Establishment has no right to call itself Catholic. The " Elements of Euclid"— of which, by the bye, we entertain a very shud dering recollection—is a paper which will chiefly find readers and admirers among mathematicians. For our own part, we must confess to have taken little interest in its perusal. " Illegality of Crown Grants of Public Fisheries in Ireland" is a useful, practical article, wherein the claims of the .pa tentees and monopolists are proved to be, not only unjust, but untenable at law. "Those who claim," says the Reviewer, "the exclusive fishery of the sea and tidal rivers, merely because they happen to have lands adjoining either, are the most shameless plunderers in existence. It would argue a very profound and singular ignorance of the history of this country, to suppose that its present landed proprietors enjoy any privileges over the sea, and its branches, by prescription ; and yet they blush not, contrary to every princi ple of law and justice, to appropriate to them- selves the fishery of the sea and its branches ad joining their lands, as if it were part and parcel of their inheritance." The Reviewer then goes on to observe that "it only requires that the people should know their rights and assert them, to get rid of this enormous injustice. The aban donment, in the Limerick case, of the claim to the exclusive fishery of sixty miles of the Shan non proves how much may be gained by an ap peal to the law. If similar attacks be made in other quarters, similar results will follow. The monopolists have neither law, nor justice, nor public policy, nor public feeling, nor party inte rests to sustain them, and must strike at once, if properly assailed." Of the few remaining arti cles., the one that will be read with the greatest interest is the account of " Van Diemen's Land under the Prison System." MOORE'S ECLIPSE SPORTING ALMANAC FOR 1842. Mr. Mo . ore, of St. Martin's-lane, has pub lished this season, with his sheet Almanac, a good print, both coloured and plain, of Flying Chiklers—a horse well known to the sporting world. In addition to copious information in the almanac respecting horse-racing here and abroad, he has also given the lengths of all the principal race courses in England; Pedestrianism in 1841 ; a list of the members of the Jockey Club, the fights of celebrated pugilists since 1823; with the prizes, and a comprehensive account of the more celebrated races throughout the country during the last year. This almanac will be found very useful to sportsmen. TEN HOURS' DEPUTATION " WISDOM. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,--W hat is to be done with a leader of the people and of a deputation to Sir Robert Peel, who seriously maintains that the landowners are making nothing by the Corn-laws, because they can get from twenty-five to thirty years' pur chase for their land when they choose to sell. Of course the argument would have been trebly strong, if the rate of profit to be made by other peopl with their money had been reduced so low as to make the thirty a hundred. " These be your gods, 0 Israel 1" Firmly believing that in the main, without pretending to the faculty of discerning spirits which would authorise a judgment in an individual case, the Ten Hours' deputation is a weak invention of the enemy, I feel pleasure in anything which may help to expose the flimsiness either of mas ter or of man. Secrets ooze out. In the last Leeds Times you will find on the authority of a letter from the Continent, that the King of Prussia had ex pressed a desire to promote a freer commercial intercourse. Hence the discourtesies. Yours very sincerely, T. PERRONET THOMPSON. Blackheath, 25th January. 1842. THE LATE JOHN SMITH, ESQ., o DALE PARK.—This eminent banker, who died on Thursday last, at his seat, in Sussex, in his 75th year, was brother to the late and uncle to the present Lord Carrington. He formerly represented Midhurst and the county of Sussex in Parliament, and has died extremely wealthy. The bulk of his large fortune goes to J. A. Smith, Esq., M.P., of Belgrave-square, his eldest son, who is married to a daughter of Sir Samuel C. Jervoise, Bart. A shepherd boy, only 15 years old, of St. Jean cle marvejois, in the Gard, was a few days ago tendisg his sheep, when a wolf sprang suddenly into the middle seized one, an d di sperse d t h e res t. The ; F theouth flock,th w a stone at the beast, and striking it on the head stunned it for a moment. His dog seized the ani mal, and a conflict ensued, which probably would have ended in favour of the wolf, had not the courageous lad bestrode its back and laid it lifeless under him by plung ing a knife into its throat. THE DUKE OF CLEVELAND. Yesterday morning, after the departure of Sir H. Halford and Dr. Chambers, a bulletin was exhi bited, of which the following is a copy " His Grace the Duke of Cleveland has had another bad night, and remains very ill." " St. James's-square, Jan. 25, 1842." THE. CORN-LAWS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR, —My attention has been called to a para• araph in your Paper of Thursday . last, dated Nottingham, the 19th instant, containing state ments which I wish you to correct. My application, on the subjects to which your Correspondent refers, was not connected with the statements made at the Derby meeting, nor did Sir Robert Peel send for a deputation from Leicester and Nottingham to inquire into the truth of those statements. I may state also that the Duke of Rutland took no part in the business beyond facilitating my access to Sir Robert Peel. The simple object of my waiting upon him was to bring under his notice the particular situation of the American trade, and to suggest that, if it were possible, it would be beneficial to the coun try that the corn which we might be compelled to import, should come from the United States rather than from the Continent of Europe. With these views I asked the favour of his Grace's ad- • vice as to the best manner of bringing the subject before Sir Robert Peel, and to his kindness I an► no doubt indebted for the interview which Sir Robert so courteously granted. I am quite aware of the difficulties that stand in the way of partial legislation on the question, but so far from being an advocate for the repeal of the Corn-laws, my opinion is, that such a mea sure would much aggravate the present distress of the manufacturing, districts, which no one la ments more than I do.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, RICD. MITCHELL. Enderby-hall, Jan. 24, 1842. [A report similar to that furnished by our Correspondent appeared in several other papers, both in town and country. We know nothing personally on the subject, but the letter of Mr. Mitchell sufficiently informs us why the Deputa tion at their interview with Sir Robert Peel were so lukewarm on the subject. Liverpool has lost her Cresswell. Singularly enough, however, she does not seem to regret her loss. On the contrary, there are visible symptoms of satisfac tion that her Learned Member has vaulted from the Senate to the Bench. The fact is, that Mr. Cresswell never was popular, even among his own party; nor, from all appearances, was he ever likely to become so. Origi nally seized upon, as it were, for a c an did ate, w h en t h e Tories were in want of a_ man and d ou btf u l o f t h e i r strength, and succeeding almost contrary to the hopes of his friends, he was soon found deficient in the qualifications r e q uisite to const itute an effi cient Member fora commercial t own li ke Liver pool. He wanted time and he wanted tact, not to say information ; and, though he devoted all the time he . could spare from h is extensive p ro f ess i onal engage ments, he failed to give satisfaction even to his Tory supporters. I t i s notorious that, last sum mer , on t h e eve of the general election, the Tories would, if they had dared, have sacrificed him. The app arent f ormida b le opposition then array ed against them alone preve n ted them from sending him to the right-about. The pre sence of the foe forced them to compose their intestine quarrels, and, going to battle united and determined, they, to their own very great joy and surprise, carried most triumphantly both Sandon an d Cresswell.—Liver pool Albion. his Anti -Corn-law lecture delivered at the White Hut Tavern, Bishopsgate•street. an Monday, Mr. Sidney Smith stated that he had received seve ral of communications recom mendin g that the inhabitants o the metropolis should avail th emsel the opening of Parliamen t by her Mahe opp or t un i ty o ff ere d by jesty, who it is supposed ... will be accompanied on the occasion y his Majesty the King of Prussia, to manif est to their Majesties the : this hostility of the peop l e o f country to our pre sent system of Corn-laws. Mr. Smith approved highly of the suggestion, and he should . be gl a d t o fi n d that arra ngements were m ade for earrYnitt it into effect. It would, no doubt, be desir able that her Majesty and the King of Prussia, the head of the Prussian league, should be ac quainted with the feelings of the people of England on so im portant a question. ACCIDENT BY GUNPOWDER.--Mr. C. Al worthy, an actor at the Garrick Theatre, was brought to the London Hospital on Friday ni g ht , h av i ng receive d a severe injury on the face by the discharge of a pistol too close to him, while enacting a melo-dramatic part. The powder and wadding burned his face in a serious manner, but not so dangerously as to cause any Serious apprehension of his recovery. PHRENOTYPIC CHRONOLOGY. Mr. Williams, of the Westminster Academy, has written to us to correct our notice of his book under the above title. His communication is too long to be inserted, but the followin; pas sage contains the pith of his remarks, doing justice to himself :— " In your Journal of Thursday, January 13, I am accused of borrowing the word, or title, Phrenotypics,' from M. Beniowski, and of using that word 'in such a manner as to mislead the public into the belief that I expound the Mnemonic principles of M. Beniowski instead of those of Feinagle.' If you will have the good ness, Sir, to look again at my treatise, you will find that the principles, or system, of Artificial Memory which I have attempted to expound, are neither M. Beniowski's nor M. Von Feinagle's, although founded on a similar plan'of locality ; also, that, so far from misleading the public into any such belief, I have naturally been anxious to establish my own right to the invention of those combinations, extensions, and improve ments in Mnemonics, by means of which I may safely and fairly say, I have produced results as beneficial to education as any accomplished by the system of M. Beniowski. Reference to my book will prove to you that I have asserted and established this claim as plainly as words could convey my meaning. Your charge of plagiarism, though expressed in general terms, appears to apply merely to my adoption of the word Phre notypics,' which unfortunate adoption seems to be the whole ' head and front of my offending.' This, however, is something like a tenable charge, and I take great pleasure here, as I have constantly done in my lectures in London, Bath, Cheltenham, and St. Alban's, in candidly ac knowledging my obligation to M. Beniowski for that very happy and appropriate designation of the art of artificial memory. When I first heard it, I considered it to be the best ever invented, and far more expressive than the words " Mne monics,' or Memoria Technica,' which but weakly convey a just idea of Memory strength ened by locality and association. To Phreno type,' expresses what our art really accomplishes —it is the impression of facts upon the brain, as if with printing types." The opinion of Mr. Williams's work which we have expressed he must allow us to retain, and we cannot open our columns to controvert it. THE LATE RAILWAY SUICIDE. It appears that Mr. W. Jupp, one of the officers of the Sheriff of Surrey, and who also has for some time kept an inn at Reigate, recently exhibited considerable despondency, and his melancholy and altered appear ance was a subject of general remark. On Saturday afternoon be went to visit a sister, and remained there until about dusk on Monday evening, when he left, say ing that he was going to Horley, and that ho should be back to tea. It appeared that he proceeded almost im mediately to the cutting for the railway near the Redhill station, and just as a train was approaching, he rushed down the bank, and although every endeavour was made to stop the train, it was impossible to do so. The engine came in contact with the unhappy man, and the greater part of the train passed over him, dragging him to a considerable distance, and inflicting most frightful injury upon his person. The deceasedwas immediately carried to the Somers Arms, where a surgeon promptly attended, and he immediately discovered that life was extinct. An inquiry subsequently took place before Mr. W. Cartar, the Coroner for this division of the county of Surrey, when the driver and guard of the train were examined ; and from the evidence of the former, it appeared that when he was within a short distance of the Redhill sta- tion he saw the deceased standing upon the bank, and when the train was about ten yards from him he darted down the declivity, and appeared to throw himself across the rails directly before the train. He sounded the alarm whistle, and put on the break, and the guard did the same, but it was impossible to save the deceased, and the train passed over him before it could be stopped. They went back and found the deceased lying on the line, with his coat dragged over his head, and covered with blood, and he appeared to be quite dead. The other per sons attending the train were also examined, and it appeared that there was no path across the line at the spot where the deceased was seen, and it was stated that he was in the habit of frequently travel ling by the railway, and that he was well acquainted with the locality, and was not likely to have accidentally got upon the line. The medical gentleman stated that he was called in to see the deceased, and found him quite dead. The scalp was lacerated most severely, a portion of the skull was gone, and the brain protruded; the left foot was almost entirely ground away, and there was also a compound dislocation of the right ankle. Some of the deceased's relatives were next examined, and they proved that the deceased had been in a melancholy state for several days before the occurrence took place, but they had not the slightest idea that he meditated self destruction, and they expressed their opinion to be, that he did not wilfully throw himself under the train, but that it was the effect of accident. The Jury, after a searching inquiry, returned a verdict, " That the de ceased was killed by being run against by an engine, in consequence of his running on to the line when the en gine was running, whereby he might be killed, being in a state of mental aberration." The Jury, at the same time, expressed their opinion that no blame was attribut able to any person belonging to the railroad. ORDINATION.

AN UNFORTUNATE FAMILY.—There is a trite saying, that " one misfortune follows fast upon the heels of another." The following distressing circumstances speak as to its truth :—Mr. David Johnston, overseer at lnverpeffer, died in a fit of apoplexy about two months ago, leaving a wife and large family to mourn his loss. Shortly before Mr. Johnston's death, one of his sons, a lad of four teen years of age, was apprehended on suspicion of having laid a piece of wood across the railway at Carnoustie. He was only a short time in confinement. Nevertheless, this untoward circumstance embittered the last moments of his dying father. On the day preceding Christmas, one of Mr. Johnston's daughters received the contents of a fowling piece in her body, from the effects of which she died on the morning of Thursday week. She was a servant in the house of a widow lady at Carnoustie, and was engaged in the kitchen when the only son of her mistress (a mere boy) came in with a loaded gun. He playfully presented the piece at her, which accidentally went off, attended with the fatal results above stated. This fatal accident has deprived the boy's mother of her senses. Another son of Mr. Johnston's, a farm-servant at Seston, was, while driving manure, two or three weeks ago, jammed between the cart and a wall, by which two or three of his ribs were broken.—He is in a fair way of recovery.—Mon trose Standard. SINGULAR FOREIGN HORSE.—In a foreign journal we find a notice by Dr. Bloch, of Berlin, of a horse he had seen there absolutely destitute of hair, and which he considers as a particular species in the caballine genus, as the naked dog of Egypt constitutes one, ac cording to him, in the canine genus. The native soil of this species is the marshy districts of Persia. It appears 'that three of them were brought into Europe at the con clusion of the late war between the Russians and Turks. At a recent examination of some teetotallers at Cardiff, for disturbing the peace by a concert in the street in praise of teetotalism, one of them spoke of " two drunken characters who signed." " What," said the Magistrate, " when they were drunk ?"—" Oh, yes," was the answer ; "it is generally the best members who sip) when they are drunk."—Carmarthen Journal MORNING SUN FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE.

SERIOUS OCCURRENCE AT THE GREEN PARK LODGE, PICCADILLY.--On Monday an .occurrence of a very frightful, and, no doubt, fatal character, took place at the late residence of Lady Gordon, known as Green Park Lodge, situatein the Green Park, and facing Piccadilly. Two men, named Jeremiah Broderick, aged 52, and a young man, named Daniel Howard, aged 19, had engaged with other workmen in demolishing the above-mentioned building, now in course of removal by order of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests. These two men were, about twelve o'clock, sitting under neath one of the walls, engaged in cleaning the old bricks from mortar, the wooden supporters of which had a short time previously been removed. Suddenly the entire mass of brickwork gave way, and fell upon them, partly burying them beneath the rubbish. They were wit* considerable difficulty extricated by the other workmen , and when so, were both found in a state of insensibility. Broderick AI'S deemed to be dead, having both his Lein' pies completely laid open, his shoulder dislocateds, and his face frightfully lacerated. Howard bad also se re . contusions about the head and face. veyed to St. George's Hospital, and the T fo h rEF ey ;:l eire: 171 a state which renders recovery next to impos t sw'' m i y have We understand that the frigate' or dered the Warspite, a 50-gun fri ornann-anded by the etted out for the Right Hon.
