HORSE BAZAAR, KING-STREET. IMPROVEMENT OF SOUTHWARK. MEETING of MIDDLESEX MAGISTRATES. ST. SIMONIANS IN LONDON. R. M. C. ALLAN begs to state that EDWARD BELL, who appeared in last Friday's Gazette as a Bankrupt, and is most unwarrantably de scribed as " of the Horse Bazaar," except as a discharged Clerk, neither was, nor is, in any way connected with that Establishment. Yesterday a meeting of Middlesex Magistrates was held at the Sessions House, Clerkenwell ; Mr. RoTcH, M.P., in the Chair. Sir ROBERT BARER, the County Treasurer, stated that he had only .548/. 10s. 9d. in hand, which was in consequence of the suspension of the order for collecting the rare made by the last Court. It was agreed that the order should be taken off. Mr. HALL said this would put the Treasurer in immediate possession of 1,500/. from one parish alone, and some thousands, no doubt, from other pa rishes, in the course of a few days. By the annual return of the Keeper of the New Prison, it appeared, that the total number of pri soners committed during the year was 7,984, which exceeded the preceding year by 202. The expense of maintenance was 2s. per head. TO THE NOBILITY AND GENTRY. ALBION HOUSE, 77, and 78, ST. PAUL'S ROBINSON and SON, Plaintiff's Solicitors, 6. Half-Moon•street, Piccadilly.

HUNGERFORD MARKET.--The workmen have just commenced excavating the ground for sub cellarage, where the west wing is to be erected to cor respond wits► the opposite wing, which, when finished, will complete this fine building, the vaults of which are very extensive and extremely curious. The Committee fur conducting the affairs of the Company have deter. mined to enforce all the regulations exhibited for con ducting the affairs of the Market, and that particularly wi , h respect to the due observance of the Sabbath, by having all the ebops closed on or before ten o'clock on Sundays. Arrangements are also in progress to obtain a supply of fish direct from the sea, to avoid any ititermediate inconvenience. A correspondent from Southwark directs our at tention to some suggested improvements in a part of that district, called the Mint, which is now not only dangerous from the narrowness of the streets and the antiquity of the houses, but is the receptacle and residence of the idle and vicious, and of per sons of the most profligate course of life; many of the houses containing each not less than 50 or 60 persons of dirty and depraved habits, and conse. quently scarcely ever free from contagious d;seases. The Mint was formerly the residence of the Dukes of Suffolk, but being forfeited, was, by Queen Mary, granted to the Archbishop of York. It was not, however, retained by the archiepiscopal see, but being sold, became the property of Robert Law, Esq., of Putney, and passed by marriage to the Bul lock family, who sold it in lots in 1811. There is one street opposite the Great Dover road, and nearly opposite St. George's Church, which extends, within a house or two, to South. wark-bridge, having several small streets, courts, and alleys branching from it on either side. The opening of Mint-street into High-street, Southwark, is ex tremely narrow, and persons pass;ng by the Bridge road mug be struck by the numbers of disorderly people congregated there, particularly in the evet•- ing, for within a very few yards from the road, and behind a workhouse, is a theatre of the lowest de ,cription, to which the admittance is only id., and the building itself is in such a dilapidated state as to be wholly unsafe. The loss of lives in Westminster, Saffron-hil!, and other places, fully proves the necessity of examining the ancient parts of the metropolis, and removing such old houses as are deemed unfit for occupation ; it is therefore suggested to widen the end of Mint street, next Blackman-street, and to make a new street into the Southwark Bridge-road, thus altering its whole character; and, being an excellent situa tion for trade, persons would, it is conceived, be soon induced to build respectable shops. The trustees of the Dover-road and the Southwark Bridge would be benefited, and the neighbourhood most materially improved in health, morals, peace, and comfort. It appears that the houses in Blackman -street, adjoining Mint -street, belong to the city of London, which also possesses large and valuable property in the neighbourhood. Would this corporation, there fore, set the example of contributing towards the suggested improvements, other public bodies and freeholders would, no doubt, soon follow ; or, as in all probability it will be necessary to stop the com munication with the city from Southwark 'over Blackfriars-bridge during the intended repairs, it might even be desirable for the corporation of London of itself to undertake it, by which increased facility of access into the city would be given, and the great influx of carriages and other vehicles, that otherwise must pass over London-bridge, be di minished. DEATH OF A WARLOCK. On the sth ult. were deposited in their las abode in the church-yard of Kirkmichael, Strathdown, the mortal remains of Gregor Mac gregor, alias Willox, whose name, if not his person, has been long and extensively known in the northern counties as "IV//lox the Warlock." Gregor was the last of a line of ancestors, long, the objects of awe and veneration, as the pos sessors of the• only means ever known of prying into futurity, and of controlling and circumvent ing the works of both; natural and supernatural agents ! This singular faculty consisted in the use of two articles—the history of which cannot fail to be interesting to the " curious reader." One of these was a piece of yellow metal re sembling the bit of a horse's bridle, which in the days of ycie was sported by a mischievous water Kelpie, who haunted the banks of Loch Ness and Loch Spynie, decked out in the similitude and trappings of a fine riding horse, for the purpose of entrapping weary travell ers and horse jockeys. The spirit was jockeyed in his turn by a renowned Macgregor, who, with his claymore, cut the bit out of the kelpie's jan., and afterwards succeeded by some good ma nagement in extracting from the kelpie an ac count of his virtues, under promise of returning to him his bit, a promise which the wily captor did not find it convenient to fulfil. The other instrument consists of a piece of pellucid matter resembling the nob or bottom of a crystal bottle, which, according to Willox, once glittered in the firmament as a brilliant star, but which, having in the course of time fallen into the sea, became the prize of a fair mermaid who happened to take a fancy to a brave Macgregor, who ex torted from his aquatic sweetheart the precious gem. The bit was pierced by several holes, on looking through which the hereditary proprietor, by a faculty peculiar to himself, was enabled to view the various species of supernatural agents, whose acts and machinations were clearly exposed to his observation ; and on dipping the mermaid's stone into a ves sel filled with water, he was enabled to see reflected on the vessel the image of some hag engaged in her infernal work, while the water, deriving virtue from the stone, was a perfect cure and protection to the objects of her malevo lence I Strange as it may appear to the enlight ened reader, these credentials transmitted from father to son, obtained for many ages implicit faith amongst the peasantry of Scotland from Perth to John O'Groats, and the stone and bridle were daily consulted by unfortunate pil grims—so that the stone might be truly called the philosopher's stone, as it converted water into gold, by a process, perhaps more circuitous, but equally certain, as the object of the chymist's fruitless research. Of late years, however, owing to the rapidly progressing intelligence of the Highlanders, Willox began to experience the truth of the proverb—" that a prophet has no honour in his own country."—Still he clung to his " black art," and the arch speciousness with which he puffed forth the history and virtues of his oracles, and the facetious fund of traditional lore which was blended with his descriptions, brought him many visiters. In his dealings, the magician sometimes " raised spirits which he could not lay." Having, it is said, once waited on a gallant Nobleman bound for a cam paign, to give him a charm against the French men's bullets, the offer was accepted, but the nobleman insisted that the'efficieney of the spell should be instantly put to the test by an expe riment on the Warlock's own person, a fiery ordeal which he could not reasonably decline, but from which it is said, he fled with any thing but honour. Viewing poor Willox apart from his profession of a necromancer, to which, how ever, he adhered to his dying day, despite the praiseworthy exertions of his pastors and friends, there was nothing very reprehensible in his character or conduct.—lnverness Courier. LUNATICS. By the report of the Visiting Magistrates of Hanwell Lunatic Asylum, it appeared that the pre sent number of patients is 237 males, and 321 fe males. The number admitted during the year was l 3 died 34, and discharged cured 28. The ap plications for admission exceeded the power of accommodation. The prison, originally built for 300, now accommodated 534. The parish of Is lington lately obtained an order of admission for an idiot from the Magistrates of Hatton-garden; but admission was refused by Dr. Ellis, on account of want of room. Next day the idiot was brought down in a coach, and the poor fellow having been suddenly thrust into the porter's lodge, the coach drove off. Mr. WILSON presented a memorial from the Overseers of Islington, stating that they had two idiots in the workhouse for a length of time. One burned himself so as to occasion his death; and, under such circumstances, they deemed it their duty to claim their right, under the Act of Parliament, to have the other admitted into the Asylum. The CHAIRMAN said the Act required obedience, if a Magistrate's order; but he was sure no Magis trate would sign an order if notice were given to him of there being no room. Perhaps the best plan would be to apply to Parliament for an Act limiting the uses of their Asylum.—The memorial was ultimately referred to the consideration of the visiting Magistrates. THE INTENDED NORTIIERN ROAD. The report of this important subject—that of the Joint Committee of members of the Common Council of the Corporation of London and the Mid dlesex Magistrates appointed to hold conference— was then proceeded with. After some unimportant discussion, the follow ing interesting documents were read and agreed to una voce MIDDLESEX.—To his Majesty's Justice of the Peace for the county of Middlesex, at their General Se-lion of the Peace for the said county held in the month of September, 1833, assembled— The RrvoßT of the Committee appointed to confer with the Special Committee of Common Council of London, relative to forming a new street from Holborn. bridge to Farringdon-street Your Committee report that the annexed paper (marked A) is a copy of the minutes and resolutions of the Joint Committee, and your Committee are of opinion that if the means can be provided for its execution, the advantage of such an opening from south to north, nearly through the centre of the metropolis, could not but be greatly calculated to promote the convenience and health of the inhabitants, and deserving of the patronage and support of the Go vernment and the county of Middlesex. • (Signed) JAMES WILLIAMS, RICHARD CARPENTER.

The Joint Committee having considered the several plans which bad been submitted to them and also the best line for the proposed street, Resolved unanimously—That the Committee are of opinion the following will be the best line of street to be adopted, viz.— That the said street should be about sixty feet wide, commencing from Holborn-bridge, opposite the north end of Farringdon-street, and be continued northward there. from nearly in the vale of the River Fleet, thence by the western boundary of St. James's burial ground, and from thence along part of Coppice.row by the south-east boun dary wait or Clerkenwell workhouse, then be further continued along r' , ntoice-row and Guildford-place to the From. thence over the Baker estate s e to o d the of w Un est io si n de la of v t e h ilil e ch urch in qua, . -I,are. across the New River estate to the end of Rodney estate, Penton cross the west end of the tunnel of the Regent's Canal, and be continued in a direct line to its termination in the Holloway road. And that the two cross streets should be as follows : One from Charles street Hatton Garden, to Cow Cross, widening the Turnstile. The other from the Sessions House at Clerkenwell Green, and be continued in the direction of pond street. (Signed) WOODTHORPE. The estimate of Mr. Mosley, the county surveyor, stated that it would be necessary to purchase pro perty to the value of 129,000/., and good-wills 40,6001., making a total of 169,6001. The sale of old materials would amount to 8,0001., and the sale of the frontage for building upon 86,6001.—t0ta1, 94,6001., which. Es übstracred from 169,6001., would leave to be provided 75,000/. The report was unanimously received. APPLICATIONS TO PARLIAMENT. it was tigreed that notices should be given of the intentions of the magistracy to apply to Parliament during the next session for a Bill or Bills for the fol lowing purposes :—lsr. To enable theta to appoint a second chaplain to the House of Correction.-2d. To enable their. to commence a session during term time.-3d, To confer on them when sitting tit an udjotinied or General Sessions, the same powers as at the Quarter Sessions.-4th. To enable them to commit Middlesex prisoners to the New West minster gaol in Tothill-fields.-sth. ro consolidate all Acts relating to the county rates of Middlesex. The Court then broke up. Several reports were next put in of the bad state of the bridges in the county, all of which were re ferred to Committees. After a procrastinated argument amongst the magistrates more especially interested in the loca lities, A letter was read from the worthy chaplain of the House of Correction (the Rev. J. Ousby), expres sing his regret that his memorial for an increase of income, arising out of increased and increasing duties, should h ave b een re j ecte d . The usual routine business having been gone through, the question of adjournment was put and at once agreed to. ASSESSED TAXES.—In reply to inquiries ad dressed to th, Board of Taxes, it has been ascertained that, in order to entitl e s h o pk ee p ers t o th e mo i et y o f t h e h ouse duty, it Is not necessary that the christian name be put in the front of the shop, the ordinary name of the firm being sufficient. It is also sufficient if the name is painted on the bide of the door-posts, or on a front window, if painted conspicuously. The following hint to tipplers is extracted from Dr. A. Clarke's comment upon 1 Peter v. 8 .--`' Be devil goeth about, see ki ng w h om b e ma y swa ll o w down. sober, l Iyo lite r a lly, wal swa l l ow 'Do not swallow down drink.' For the strong drink down, the devil will swallow you down. Hear thi s ! ye d run k ar d s, topers , an d tipplers, or by whatsoever name you are known in society, or among your fellow sinners. Strong drink is not only the way to the devil, but the devil's way into you; and ye st :e such as the devil particularly may swallow dawn* The second meeting of this sect or fraternity , took place last evening, at the Burton-rooms, Bur ton-crescent. There were about 300 persons pre sent, a small portion of whom were females post a certain age, and not likely to become or to produce what the Simonites expect, "the mother." We think from what took place that the Missionaries' occupation has come to a conclusion. We shall hear little more of them in this country. M. FONTANA (the Chief Priest) addressed the assembly in French, to the following effect :—He said—Sisters and Brothers, I salute you ; and you, also, whom curiosity brings to hear us. I beg of you to suspend your judgment of us until you know more of us. May the justice of our ideas, and the sanctity of our intentions, penetrate to the bottom of your hearts, and make you respect men who have devoted their lives to the regeneration of humanity. Nly brother Prati will explain the two chief points if our doctrine, which has given rise to so many calumnious accusations brought against us—l mean the community of goods and of women. M. PRATI, after praying that the Lord of Peace and Love might be with all that entered that place consecrated to truth, said that those who endea. voured to blacken their holy cause did not under stand it, nor the actions or motives of those who preached it. They (St. Simonians) had been taxed with being fanatics; but who was the greater fanatic, he who came openly to expound his doc trine., or he who calumniated those doctrines by -.very species of abomination ? He was called a blasphemer; true, he was, since he had blasphemed that god to whom so many foul sacrifices were made; who filled the prisons and the factories with criminals and cripples—he meant the idol Competi tion; that was the god he blasphemed. Industry was the basis on which British welfare depended ; but a civil war was arising, which would destroy the wealth they all glorified. Go vernment was in a state of decay, because it did not answer the general wants of society. M. Prati then continued his discourse on the present state of society. The sum of which was, that all the elements of it were in a state of dis cord, and that the consequence must be a revolution. They were accused of being the advocates of com munity of women.—(Laughter and groans.) He considered matrimony one of the great banes of -ociety—it was a mere speculative contract— (Laughter)—and men were the cause of general and legal prostitution.—(Groaning.) Women, by the laws, were not considered equal to man ; by custom they had no free education, and they were kept continually in subjection.—(Loud laughter.) They were tutored to suppress their natural feeling-, and to assume a false appearance of modesty ; and they were subjected to be, at different times, de ceivers and deceived. By law they were bound to regard men as their protectors, and they were often obliged to yield to their better feelings, and become the partners of men who were theoretically their protectors, but who used women only as a means to' an end, and who looked upon them with contempt. —(Loud groans and much confusion, which lasted several minutes.) He considered that the law re gulating matrimony was given to men under th, consideration that tile other sex were of inferior in tellect; such being the case, he contended that mar riage should be a moral union, and that women should obtain the same education and advantages as men enjoyed; that they should enjoy before mar riage the same privileges men enjoyed, and that their union with men should not be forced by law, and that it should only subsist as long as the moral union existed.—(Loud laughter.) In other words, he wished to have the principle introduced of having matrimony dissoluable. He rejected polygamy—the community of women and the promiscuous inter course of the sexes. But man and woman ought not to be compelled to live together when all sym pathy between them was gone, for then the union would be a forced one. (Here an old gentleman exclaimed " With your sympathy you'll bastardize the whole would ;" roars of laughter and loud cheering.) He should be sorry if any one mistook what he meant, and he would at once simply say that the St. Simonians wished that matrimony should be holy, but there should be no law enacted to enforce it. When two persons declared themselves man and wife, they should remain to gether as long as they sympathised with each other; but when they declared the state they lived in was unhappy, and that they could not live together, then 4--st might separate by mutual application to a civil officer. lig a highly civilised country, the civil law consecrate(' hi s max i m o f the St. Simo nians, Rod he had himself seen P' satins of the highest distinction and respectability come before the Mayor of their district and have their unto,. solved. He would demand the abolition of the law of divorce in this country, which was so expen sive, and which subjected the fair sex to so much persecution.—(Laughter.) Such were his opinions, and he was prepared to seal with his blood what he considered to be the truth, and the useful truth. (The Learned Gentleman sat down without saying ene word about the community of goods.) Mr. BAUME here made an appeal in behalf of the brothers, saying that they were poor refugees who had lost their all, and who were willing to turn their talents to useful account.—(Laughter.) A Person here asked, why they preached divorce in that dress (alluding to M. Fontana's romantic costume); was it in order to attract the ladies? M. PRATl—Whether that dress would seduce the ladies, no man could decide; it was only the fair portion of society who could say whether they found attraction in that dress. The St. Simonians adopted it only to distinguish themselves froa► other sects; and the same question might be asked about the black gowns of parsons, whether they had any attractio❑ for the ladies.—(Laughter.) He did not imagine ladies could be seduced by a red breast (Fontana's red waistcoat) with a name on it; but he left it to them to determine whether women ere so sensual as to be corrupted by dress. A Person (from his accent a Welchman) here said, that the law of divorce was given by Moses to the children of Israel.—(Laughter, with " Go On, Taffy, you ought to have a leek in your ear !") M. FONTANA said, all men who came with new doctrines, and pointed out new paths of improve ment to the human race, were inspired. The St. Simonians did so; ergo their religion was an in spired one. (During this explanation, made wall great difficulty, them was much laughter and con. fusion, and cries of " That's no answer.") A host of questions were then poured upon the unfortunate Missionaries; they pleaded the lateness of the hour, and promised at a future meeting to explain every thing—a promise, we dare predict, they never will fulfil ; fur, as far as we could judge— and ;re have heard them twice—they do not wader stand the matter themselves : and if they did, they have not the necessary capacity to develop it. We never saw a meeting go away so much disappointed, the serious part of it at least j the others laughed at the thing, and put it down as no bad species of hoaxing le Peuple Chretien. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, Nov. 6. Although the tranactiona in Cotton to-day reach 2,200 bags, prices have suddenly given way, and we quote id. per lb. decline on our prices of yesterday. Ho,ders are very timid, and evince much anxiety to realiza even at reduced rates : 600 Boweds on speculation ; 300 Cearas and Bihias, Sid. a 9d. ; remainder American, 7d., 71d., a Sd. ; 1,500 Alo.raniaain3 for auction on Friday. The following interesting account of, Pont-y- Prydd* (Bridge of the Dale), called in Glamorgan.. shire Newbridge, appeared in that well con-ducted Paper the Merthyr Tidvil Gazette and Guardian of Saturday last : " Pont-y-Prydd, of Newbridge, over the River Taff, lies twelve miles from Cardiff, in a moat romantic country; the river in summer is extremely low, scarce covering its pebbly bed, but after heavy rains swells to a deep irresis. tibia torrent. This bridge, for its extraordinary lightnesd and the width of its span, stands unrivalled not only by any bridge in England but even in Europe, and perhaps the whole word, exceeding the arch of the Rialto at Venice by fifty feet, and that of the centre of Blackfriars by forty feet. " It is in figure thesegment of a circle ; its chord mea sures 140 feet; and the height of the keystone, reckoned from the spring of the arch, is 34 feet. This bridge is a proof that extraordinary genius will rise superior to every impediment or disadvantage. Both 'he mason who designed and executed it, and the work• men who formed the centre, were common country arts• ficers. The name of the mason is William Edward. He contracted with the hundreds of Caerphilly and Miskin for a certain sum of money to build them a bridge which should stand at least six years, and accordingly built one of three arches ; but a flood happening (no uncommon event in this mountainous country) it was carried away by the impetuosity of the river. "He next conceived the design of constructing his bridge of a single arch, and accordingly completed it; but here he was again foiled ; for the pressure of the abutment not being in rquilibrio with that of the crown of the arch, squeezed it out at the top. Not disheartened at this, and seeing wherein he had failed, he set about contriving a remedy, and bit upon the present method, by making three cylindrical apertures through each sides thereby not only considerably lessening the weight of late. 4 ral pressure, but adding greatly to the picturesque form and elegance of the bridge, which bids fair to transmit his fame to future generations. The name of the artist who f firmed the centre is Thomas Williams, a millwright. Beneath this arch a number of stalactites hang like icicles, perhaps formed by the mortar which the vast pressure has caused to exude through the interstices of the stones. As the ramp or ascent of this bridge is very deep, pieces of wood are laid across the way to give a firm foothold to the horses who pass over it. The bridge was erected about 1750, and has withstood the violence of many a destruc tive mountain torrent uninjurred." * Prid is the Welsh for soil, earth, or mould ; but Prydd means a dale, which we consider to be the proper orthograpby. FRIGHTFUL CALAMITY. The following detailed account of the hurricane in the Hooghly river, which was noticed in the previous arrivals, is contained in the Bengal Indian Gazette:— " The following is from the pen of a gentleman who has visited the scene, and who pronounces, it will be seen, a deserved eulogium on the benevolent exertions of Go vernment to relieve the existing distress : " Proceediug do,en the Hooghly the effects of the late gale are first presented in nearly whole villages of native habitations levelled to the ground ; and in small craft, of all sizes and of every description, wrecked, or high and dry on the sands, where they must remain until the north east monsoon, if even they be worth an endeavour th.ts to get them off. About Fultah numerous herds, without en owner, are seen tenaciously applying their parched mouths to the salt water, in the vain attempt to assuage their thirst. Even here the banks of the river are torn . and dislodged as far inwards as 40 or 50 yards. The inundation, which it is known reached Calcutta within $2 miles, and the wet-re from the salt lake, which found their level with the Dum Duin road, have ad subsided, but the decayed vegetation has literally blackened the earth, the effluvia is appreciable, and near the Rnop Narain, a wind in any point westerly sends forth even in fair weather the air as hot and strong as if one were within a few paces of a newly opened pile of in inure. What will this be in a dense atmosphere and a damp season? At Diamond-Barbo ur a 'trees- from the land comes perhaps pestilential, but certainly much more bora r bly disgusting than the air from a chamber of anatomy. Here you find the land strewed with lifeless forms of men, women, children, and cattle, as they fell or have been driven ashore in every conceivable posture of violent and frightful struggles for life, stark naked, putrescent, and, strange to say, deserted even by the birds and beasts of prey. Here the noble, generous, and prompt humanity of our Government first shows itself ; not only food and water in abundance have been instantly distrihnee-t, but yen the dearest comforts to a native, oil, cloth, tobacco, and money, are daily, and, rather than fail of relief, almost ildiscrirninately supplied to the wretched survivors, who nave been brought away from their desolate stations and famishing condition to the charitable depot of Diamond.. harbour, where the company's godowns have been given as a residence for the unfortunate people. The Government also have sent koolies to clear the shores from the lifeless matta—it is now scarcely to he called form; but such is the terror of the natives in this instance, that of all the people despatched, hardly a fourth reached their destina tion for this purpose. It is to be lamented that the in tention is not effected by this revolting labour, for besides the host of lifeless bodies already in the water, every tide bears bark its dreadful burden on the land. Along the coast, eastward and westward, is the same devastation, and the known banks and points of land have been altered or altogether washed away. Mud Point has been lessened in land estate some hundreds of begehs. At Kedgeree, Hidgely, and Saugor Island, in all directions is absolute ruin. On either side of Channel-creek the lands are covered with carcasses of men, women, children, cows, goats, bullocks, tigers, deer, and fish. The skirts of the forests or jungles are filled with mangled forms, and hardly a house, domestic utensil, clothing, or sign of habitation to be seen. Out of the European assistants at Gunge Saugor, Mr. Stocks lost, the e d- e . S ot '" `e ill of ague and fever. Mr. Burt, of the Shrakapore estate, to nc c. e er ; also Captain Cowles, Mr. Bruce, Mr. Pinkney, and every European in or about that station, suffering in the same way. Thu latter gentleman is nevertheless laudably active in distri buting and regulating the Government relief to the thousands of natives who have survived the gale and in undation. How have they deserved the kind offices of Mr. Pinkney ? He bad been for nearly twelve hours up to his neck in water, expecting to draw his last breath in every gust of wind, impelling the waves to the height of fourteen or sixteen feet beneath his frail footing. Escaped from the danger, he waded several miles and begged an hour's repose at a baree of a pettalidar. He was refused a drop of milk—water far drink there was none—thrown into a shed with twelve cows ; wad finally roused front his sleep by a wretch who owed him a grudge, and who struck him violently several blows on the neck and head,. abusing him an d vow i ng to b e revenged on h i m ; of course not a soul of the natives attempting to defend him. Tanks are being dug in every direction by the order of Government." Yesterday, about three o'clock, the metropolis was so oversbadoa'ed with a dense atmosphere, almost ap proaching to darkness, that it was necessary to have lights in the shops and other apartments of the houses, as though it were midnight.

They accordingly despatched an importunate messenger for the parish beadle, as the female had become so ill as to be apparently unabl e to give any account of herself. The beadle attended the suinenons much more punctually than is usual with some parish functionaries, but before he reached the place the female stranger had added one more to the visible number of inmates—she had given birth to a seven-months' c hild. She refused to communicate her name, her connections, or her late residence.
