SZCZETARY (pro tem:)—lioberf Steel, Esq The necessity of a City Terminus for the large railways on the north side of London (which bring the traffic to the metropolis from the greatest part of England, and from all Wales, Ireland, and Scot land) has been long felt,. and has been particularly noticed and re ported upon by the Board of Trade. This railway removes that defect, as by it two City Termini will be provided —one close to the bottom of Moorgate-street, and the other in Farringdon-street—for the Great Western, the London and Birmingham, and the Northern and Eastern; and it will also con nect all these railways with each other. It will commence at the terminus of the Great Western Railway, at jaddington, and proceed across the Edgeware-road, along the back of Lord's Cricket-ground, across the Avenue-road, under Prim rose-hill, to the London and Birmingham Railway (which it will cross on a level or a viaduct, as may be preferred) ; thence across the Hampistead-road, the Kentish Town-road, through the fields, across Maiden-lane, across the Holloway-road, up to a point near Islington Cherch, thence curving round to the Regent's Canal, near to Frog-lane and the City Lock, across the Canal there, along the back of Macclesfield-street, crossing the City-road, and passing close by Messrs. Bickford and Co.'s warehouse, thence proceeding to and across Old-street and Chlswell-street, to a spot near to the corner of Fore-street and Little Moorilelds, near the bottom of Moorgate-street, where will be one City Terminus, from which a Branch is proposed to be made, to join the Eastern Counties' Railway Terminus at Shoreditch. Admission, Is. ; Schools, Ralf-price. HAVRE DE GRACE, FRANCR TO BE LET, FURNISHED, for the Summer and Autumn, if required, a large PAVILION, situated on the Hill of Ingonville, commanding a most beautiful Sea View, with the entrance of the Seine, Hontleur, Tronville, and the opposite coast; within ten minutes' walk of the Bains Frescati and St. Adresse. There is a garden and terrace, containing wall fruit trees, and a hot house grapery in full bearing. Apply (if by letter, post-paid) to Mr. Dlimet, Rae do Bordeaux, 20, Havre, or 21 bis, Avenue de St. Cloud, Barriere d• l'Etoile. From the Regent's Canal, at the City Lock, another Branch of this Line will proceed down the Tottenham Extension Railway to Farringdon-street (the Act for which is now before Parliament), which will be the other City Terminus. All the Rouse Property required to be taken is of comparatively little value, being chiefly small or fourth-rate houses. Very careilll surreys have been made of this line. The cost of the present Metropolitan railways will form no criterion in judging of the expense of this, as it differs most materially from them in this circumstance, viz., that instead of the whole length being on arches, there will only be I miles of it on arches or a viaduct, and the rest will be ordinary earth work, cuttings, embankments, bridges, &c. ; and, therefore, it must be admitted by all experienced persons, that the above capital is amply sufficient. It is hardly possible to estimate the enormous traffic, in passengers and goods, that will pass over this railway, for not only will it take the passengers to and from the above-named railways, but also all the local passengers from the neighbourhood of Ilayswater, Hyde Park gardens, Oxford-terrace, Edgeware-road, Maida-hill, St. John's-wood, Regent's-park, Camden-town, Hampstead, Kenti s h-t own , H o ll oway, Highgate, Islington, &c., will be carried by it to Moorgate-str ee t or Farringdon-street ; and, for the purpose of collecting such passengers, it is proposed that carriages in connexion with the railway shall ply constantly from the stations to points not exceeding one mile and a half distant, which distance will include all the places above named. The lowest estimate of the traffic shows that a clear profit of 12 per cent. will be realised on the capital; but there is every reason to believe that such estimate is far below what will be the actual receipt. In addition to the traffic, a large revenue will be obtained from the ground rents for the lands let off for building sites, which will be un usually large on this line, from its situation, and from the arrange ment of the railway, whereby all the land at the City end will be available for new houses, and will be formed into a new street, from the City-road to Fore-street. The time for conveying passengers to Moorgate-street, from the Great Western Railway, will be Nine Minutes; the London and Bir mingham, Six Minutes ; and other places in the same proportion. All the goods now removed from the above great railways by carts and waggons, will also be conveyed by this railway to the City, and to Messrs. Pickford's large warehouses, in a few minutes, at a trifling expense. Great portion of the capital has been already subscribed.

FOR BILE, INDIGESTION, AND DISORDERS OF THR STOMACH AND LIVER. DR. A. A. HARVEY, of Bath, formerly Sur geon in the East India Company's Service, re commends to the Public his Family Pills. The great benefits resulting from an efficacious household medicine must be manifest to all. This medicine is not put forward as a cure for every complaint, but in those cases of sudden and temporary ill ness so frequently occurring in families, it will be found of singular service, as its operation is extremely mild, as well as effectual. The large and steadily increasing sale of these Pills, princi pally from the recommendations of those who have expo riencel their salutary qualities, is the best proof of their ex cellence. A few doses will convince those suffering from Indi gestion, from whatever cause arising, that their effects are perma nent. They remove obstructions of the bowels ; act upon the kid neys, stimulating the absorbents to carry off those fluids which might otherwise terminate in Dropsy. They have been found of infinite service, both in England and during Dr. Harvey's practice in the East Indies, in preventing and caring the Jaundice ; is passing off Gall Stones and restoring a healthy action to the Liver. Ladies will find them particularly beneficial both befbre and after their confinement. VV These truly excellent Pills are to be procured genuln' of Edwards, 67, St. Paul's Church-yard, whose name will be engraved on tke Go vernment Stamp. Price Is. lid. b•x.

RESOLUTIONS, founded on the REPORT and BALANCE° SHEET read at the General Meeting of the Members of th- BRITISH and FOREIGN INSTITUTE, on Saturday, the 31st of May, and carried unanimously. Right Hon. the EARL of DEVON, in the Chair. Proposed by JAMES Samos, Esq. ; Seconded by Captain MACONOCHIE, R.N. " 1. That the Report and Balance-sheet now read be adopted, and printed for general circulation among the Members ; and that the suggestions and recommendations of the Committee, contained in the Report, be approved and carried into execution." Proposed by Lord JAuss STUART, M.P. ; seconded by Z. A. JESSELL, Esq. " 2. That the position attained by the Institute, at the close of this, the second year of its existence only, is highly satisfactory, as show ing, that notwithstanding all the difficulties, opposition, and pre judices with which it has had to contend, its present income has been made to cover its actual expenditure ; and that the value of its as sets greatly exceeds its liabilities." Proposed by E. W. PENDASVES, EM., N.P. ; seconded by the Rev. JAMES ST. .A.IIBTN, " 3. That though the Annual Subscriptions to the Institute were originally fixed at too low a scale for the varied advantages and plea sures which it offers to the Members, it is thought best to continue them for the present, without any change, the Council relying on the efforts of the Members generally (now that all doubt of success and stability is removed) to exert themselves in their respective circles, by correcting misapprehensions, and making the real merits and attractions of the Establishment more generally and more accu rately known, so that by constantly increasing numbers, the income may be proportionately improved, without any addition to the exist ing rates, and the funds be thus made adequate to accomplish all the improvements contemplated and desired." Proposed by Sir GEORGE STAUNTON, Bart. ; seconded by GEORGE WILBRAIL&M, Esq "4. That one of the most effective modes of making extensively known the nature and character of the Literary Proceedings of the Institute, will be to give the widest possible circulation to the First Volume of its transactions, in which these proceedings will bo fully and faithfully recorded :—and that as this will be well calculated to convey accurate information into circles where much misapprehension may prevail, it is strongly recommended to the Members generally to promote its circulation accordingly." Proposed by WYNN Emig, Esq., M.P. ; seconded by Brig.-Gen. Sir HENRY PENN. " 5.

It eradicates the factitious formation of tartar, and thus lends a salutary growth and freshness to the gums. It removes from the surface of the teeth the spots of incipient decay, polishes and pre serves the enamel, imparting the most pure and pearl-like whiteness ; while from its salubrious and disinfecting qualities, it gives sweetness and perfume to the breath. Being an anti-scorbutic, the gums also share in its corrective powers ; scurvy is eradicated from them, a healthy action and redness are induced, so that the teeth (if loose) arc thus rendered firm in their sockets.

At a Meeting held on the 20th ultimo, of the Committee appointed by the County of Inverness, for promoting the erection at Inverness of a Lunatic Asylum, for Pauper and other Lunatics of the Northern Counties of Scotland ; We, the undersigned, William H. Colquhoun, Advocate, Skeriff- Substitute of Inverness-shire, and John Mackenzie, banker in In verness, were appointed a Deputation to solicit Subscriptions in Lon don, in aid of the proposed Asylum. And being now arrived here, in pursuance of our mission, we beg leave to send you some particulars regarding the proposed establish ment, in the hope that you will be pleased to give it the benefit of your support by contribution or otherwise, Under that impression, we will do ourselves the honour of waiting on you, In a day or two, to learn your determination ; but should we be so unfortunate as not to have an opportunity of seeing you personally, we hope you will be kind enough to favour us with your views, to the above address, on or before 12th instant. The primary object of the projected Institution is the accommoda tion of pauper lunatics, and of other lunatics in poor circumstances, in the northern counties of Scotland, which comprise an extent of surface equal to one-third of all Scotland, and have a population of about 250,000. Yet, with the exception of a very few cells attached to the infirmary at Inverness, there is not any provision made in all this wide district for the secure confinement or medical treatment of the insane, the poorer classes of whom, amounting in number to up wards of 700, are left in a state of wretched destitution, either burden some to their poor relatives and paralysing their industry, or roam ing about the country in search of a precarious subsistence—pitiable on account of their calamity, often alarming and dangerous to the community from their furious conduct, at once the disgrace, the In jury, and the terror of the country. To abate this crying evil, this heart-elekening and frightful neglect and destitution, it is proposed to erect at Inverness, as the most central and convenient point, an Asylum for pauper lunatics, and for other lunatics in poor circumstances belonging to the northern coun ties. As a subsidiary and ulterior measure, provision will be made for the addition afterwards of apartments for richer classes of patients. The funds for this purpose can only be obtained by the voluntary contributions of such benevolent persons as are interested in the wel fare of the wide district of country referred to, or in the mitigation of human suffering generally. It is estimated that at least 8,000/, will be required to erect the necessary buildings, and to form a fluid for the permanent endowment of the Institution. Already considerable progress has been made, principally, in the North of Scotland, in pro curing subscriptions ; and hopes are confidently entertained that with Metropolitan, and perhaps Colotttal aid, the necessary funds will be obtained to spritro tut. 1....a...but nuoll for tnu per., move one of the worst blots on the humanity of our countrymen. The rules for the government of the Institution will be of course de termined at a general meeting of the Subscribers, and will be sub mitted to them on principles fitted to secure a liberal and efficient system of management, comprehending the chief official funtionaries of the district, but giving to the Subscribers due and ample powers of control and recommendation. We are, respectfully, Your very obedient servants, (Signed) W. 11. COLQUHOUN. JOHN MACKENZIE.

B ATHS of HOMBURG, near FRANKFCRT ON-TIIE-MAINIC. The mountains,Mineral Waters two hundred o Homburgf yards take abovet h theirthe r rise jd fresh oi a n t e t he levelsources, foot the original springs, the reputation of which is s o p erf ectly estab lished in Germany, that there have lately been which from the intensity of their mineralisation and the energy ofthelr action in certain morbid cases, have elevated them to the first rank among the mineral waters of Germany. The springs of Homburg are five in number. They have been analysed by the celebrated Professor Liebig. Notwithstanding the differences which exist between them, they may be considered as the same medicament diversely modified. Their mineral principles re main the same, with no other difference than their quantities and proportions. This affords to the physicians the highly valuable ad vantage of applying to each individual case the peculiar water best adapted to it, and of modifying the treatment according to the course and progress of the complaint. The internal use of these waters is of constant efficacy, above all when drunk at their source, for then the vivifying air of the moun tains, the diversion of mind by the moving scene, and the abstrac tion from the cares of the world, concur in assisting the action of the medicinal beverage. The waters of Hombffrg are stimulant, toni c, a l terative, and aperient. They are suited to all cases re quiring an amelioration of these este r gans when necess ary to excite the abdo minalthe secretory proce sses, and to regularise the disordered state of the stomac h and o ther intestines, by giving a pecullar cir s e t u im l :l tio u i s , toe to nutrition and assimilation. Their great success has been recognised in enlargements of the liver, in affections of the spleen, in hypo chondria, jaundice, the hemorrhoids, and obstinate constipation. In years which have elapsed since th ese spr i ngs first gout and all a ff ec tions produced by derangement o f the digestive functions, most happy results are derived fr om them.

The Directors of this grand Establishment have constructed a mag nificent Casino, which—by the beauty of its architecture, the excel lence of its distribution, and the richness of Its decorations—surpasses any building hitherto erected at anY point on the batiks of the Rhine. It contains splendid saloons for h n -a..11 and concerts ; rooms for the games of Trent. et Quarante, and for Roulette tables ; a Cabinet for reading, in which are most of the German, French, English, Russian, Belgian, and Dutch journals; a Cafes-room; a Divan for smoking, opening on to a fine terrace laid with asphalt., and a grand dining-room with a table-d'hdte, Served ala Francalse, twice a-day, viz. at one and five o'clock. The excellent orchestra from the Theatre of M en t z performs three times a day ; in the morning, at the Springs ; in the afternoon, In the beautiful Gardens of the Casino ; and In the evening in the grand Ball-room. Concerts, Balls, and Fetes of every description succeed each other without interruption. The Directors shrink from no sacrifice to render this watering place as delightful as possible to its visitors, and to this end have rented about 50,000 acres of forest-lands and plains, all abounding in game of every description, as well a reserve Park for the Grandees ' Chasses at the close of the winter season. The Casino of Homburg, is the only establishment of the kind that has enjoyed hitherto the privilege of remaining open all the year, and the continuation of l's tables for play, its balls, its concerts, and its hunting parties through out the winter-season, Makes it attract a numerous and select so ciety from every quarter of Europe. The Journey from London to Homburg, Passing through Cologne, Mentz and Frankfort, is performed in 44 hours. • The distance from Frankfort to Homburg is got over in one hour and a half.

PIOSPECTLII, This line of railway, comin;;;ChliiiLeiceeter, will pass through the important districts of Market liarborough, Bothwell, Kettering, Wellingborough, Ingham Ferrers, and Bedford, to Ritchin, at which point it will form a junction with the London and York, or Northern and Eastern Counties line, and thus afford the shortest route to London. Whatever may be the ultimate decision of Parliament, in respect to the present rival projects for securing to the public a more direct route to York, no one affects to believe that the London and Bir mingham line to the west, or the Northern and Eastern to the cast, as at present formed, will long continue to afford means of transit adequate to the urgent public demand for accommodation by the shortest and most direct practicable railroad from London to York. It is now, therefore, beyond a question that a brief space only will elapse before a Northern trunk line from Loudon will receive the sanction of the Legislature. Assuming even, therefore, that the Loudon and York line is not successilll, it is still quite clear that the " Great North Road " will, in a very short time, become the line of the " Great North Railway." Such line will pass through or near to Hitchin, and the Company forming it will thereby provide an exit from the metropolis to that town, being as nearly as possible in the direct road to Manchester. The continu ation of this line towards the latter place will be undertaken by the Leicester and Bedford Railway Company, as far u Leicester, through the counties of Bedford, Northampton, and Leicester. At Leicester, the Midland line, to Derby and Ambergate, and thence, tke proposed Manchester, Buxton, Matlock, and Midland Junction, to Manchester, complete the chain of communication with the great capital of the manufacturing world by a means of transit more direct (its length being considered) than any other railway in the kingdom, and shorter by not less than twenty-four miles than the present c ir cuitous route by the London and Birmingham, Grand Junction, and Manchester and Birmingham Railways. Te Leicester, Derby, Nottingham, Sheffield, Leeds. Wakefield, and Rotherham, and the whole district traversed by the Midland Railway, the advantages of a shortened route and economy of time provided by this line will be still more obvious. Besides avoiding the delay always occurring at the Rugby Station, and the constant stoppages on the Birmingham line, at the numerous stations, as well as the Kileby and Weedon tunnels, the line itself will be se much shorter than the present means of communication, that, in conjunction with the above favourable circumstances, _three hours will amply suffice for the loumey from Leicester to London, four from Derby and Not wtinilglhba.ma,chainedveda proportionate to ate ther au ed o u th cti e o r n pl i a n ce secorTnesd by theumptin Midland f idi t an ina d e This To the Manchester trade this line offers very great advantages, for it is well known that a vast amount of goods is conveyed from Man cheater to Hull, and there shipped f or L on d on, i n order to avoid the heavy charges for carriage by rail all the way. The sho r t en i ng of al th l e ow o distr a c red e b u y e t t h io i n s parnodbatbhley belowproposedeven with the benefit of a great saving is time. The whole of the line between Bedford and Leicester has been al ready surveyed, and the engineers' report shows that no difficulties occur to prevent its construction at an average cost, and by a most direct route. The present plan of the projectors, so far as it is ma tured, in reference to the junction with the Midland, is, to run into the line close to the town of Leicester ; here another great source of profit will develop itself, by effecting a junction with the Leicester and Swannington Railway, and distributing through the districts before mentioned the valuable produce of the Leicestershire calories. On this point it may be observed, that the great desideratum of convey ing the coal from the Midland district to the Southern counties and the metropolis, is almost entirely frustrated by the absolute ineffi ciency of the present route for the traffic of this article along the crowded line of the London and Birmingham. It will be seen that the projected line combines In a remarkable de gree all the elements of success and profit. The demand for a railway through the whole district it traverses is universal and urgent. The cost of its construction will be moderate ; its local traffic will be very large, and the through traffic of the groat highway from London to Manchester, of which it will form an integral portion, is second in amount and importance to that of no line in the kingdom. On to this railway must be poured the stream of traffic to and from the metropolis, and Manchester and its locality, the Staffordshire Pot teries, the West Yorkshire, and the whole of the Midland districts. It will convey the coal of Leicestershire, Derbyshire, and Notting hamshire into South Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire, Herts, Huntingdonshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, and the metropolis, at a reduction of 50 per cent, on its present cost, and the valuable produce of the richest grazing district in the kingdom to the metro politan markets ; in addition to which, the finest barley in England being grown in the county of Bedford, would be converted by the growers into malt, if facilities were offered for supplying the London markets. This line will supply the absolute want of a country, which cannot be met by any half measures or projects, for lateral or other branch communications with existing lines, and will provile a com prehensive scheme for uniting the midland district more directly with the metropolis. The subscribers will not be liable to any farther call until the Act is obtained, and power will be applied for to allow interest at 4 per cent. upon the amount paid up until the opening of the line. The general course of the line, as laid down from the survey already made, is indicated on the 'annexed map. Unimportant de viations from the course at present selected may be found necessary to avoid interference with ornamental property, or more conveniently to serve the traffic of the towns on the line, when the more detailed survey now being prosecuted by Mr. Gibbs shall be completed. The annexed plan will, however, suffice to show that, besides pro viding a district of country, now entirely wanting the great deside ratum of railway conveyance, the Leicester and Bedford Railway will lie in the direct line from London to Manchester, and will, of necessity, from its position, command the tra ffi c of that important locality.

Covent-garden Theatre was opened cast eftirg for dramatic, or rather for operatic performances, under the direction of Monsieur Laurent. It appears that the Grand Opera House at Brussels is undergoing repairs, and during the time that it is closed, the whole eperatic company,_ orchestra, ch orus s i ngers , corps d e b a l let, an d all have been engaged to give twenty representations of the most popular French operas at Covent-garden. Messrs. Charles Hanssens and Van Caneghem are the managers of the company, Mr. Charles ilanseens offi ciating also as leader of the orchestra. The • opera chosen for the opening was Rossini's Guillaume Tell, and the following was the east:— Guillaume Tell Mons. Laurent Quilleveri. Arnold Geller Rndelph Walter .Ferst Ru •di Mona. Descambon. Melcthal Lenthold Gemmy (Tell's Son) Made. Guichard. Mathilde ltdwige In noticing the fact, some days since, that this theatre was about to be opened by a Belgian operatic company, we ventured to express a hope that, as the Germans had given us Staudigl, so the Belgians migLt introduce to U 4 some accomplished al fi.te, with whose merits we had not been previously acquainted. Our hopes have been more than realised—hat a' tisle is M. Laborde, a tenor in whose presence Duprez may tremble for his supre macy. It va as a bold attempt, on the part of M. La borde, to appear in the part of Arnold, while the recol lection of Duprez was fresh in the minds of all lovers of opera ; the attempt, however, was as successful as it was bold, and if we are not greatly mistaken, the ap plause of last night i s b u t a sma ll f oretaste of the harvest of fame which M. Laborde is destined to reap in this country. His voice is a tenore di forza— clear, rich, flexible—of great power and of great cowpass ; and his falsetto notes, to which he very rarely has recourse, are introduced with great taste. In the management of his falsetto, he reminded us occasionally of Rubini, although the quality of his voice approaches nearer to that of Duprez. His opening sceua, Le mien dit il-jamais, was given with great effect, and in the duet which follows with Tell nothing could exceed the pathos which he threw into the beautiful passage, "Ah ! Mathilde." The audience at once perceived that they had a true artist before them, and wire rapturous in their applause. The second act introduces us to Madame Laborde, the pima donna of the company, who sustained the character of Mathilde. Her voice is a high soprano of considerable power, and is well managed. She ga ve th e b eaut if u l romance, " Sombre foret, ' with exq u i s it e express i on ; and the duet with Arnold which follows, "Otti, vous l'arrachez I son ame," was delightfully given by Monsieur and Madame Laborde. The ensemble at the conclusion of the duet was a perfect gem. The trio between Arnold, Tell, and Walter Furst, towards the conclusion of this act, was very finely given by Laborde, Laurent, Quilleveri, and Zelger. The two latter gentlemen pos sess good bass voices, and are accomplished musicians, and supported Laborde admirably ; indeed we have never heard this superb trio more effectively given. Laborde's great triumph, however, was the last scene of the opera. The far-famed recitative, "Ne m' aban donnez point," and the ai r , " Asile hereditaire," were given with most exquisite taste and feeling. We con sider that in power, pathos, and expression, M. Laborde in this exquisite air quite equals Duprez ; while in the magnificent bravura which follows, " Arnie, Arnie, secondez ma vengeance," he was much superior in power to Duprez—at least to Duprez as he is known to the English public—and quite equal to what Duprcz was, some eight years back, when he drove the Parisian dilettahti mad with his famous "Ut en poitrine." The fact is, M. Laborde is the legitimate successor of Duprez, and the day is not far distant when he will be known and appreciated on every operatic stage in Europe. The chorus singers are admirable, and the concerted music throUghout was given with great accuracy. There was no harsh jarring on the ear. The orchestra too is excellent. We never heard the fine overture to this opera more carefully played. Guillaume Tell was preceded . by Adolphe Ad ams ' one act opera, Le Chalet (a piece familiar to English play goers, as the Swiss Cottage, under which title it was per formed at the Lyceum last season), in which M. Coud( re as the gawky lover (Keeley's character), and Madame Guichard, as the village coquette, kept the audience in a roar, by the humorous manner in which they sus tained their respective parts. At the conclusion of Guillaume Tell, M. Laborde was loudly called for, and appeared, leading in Madame Laborde. They were both loudly applauded. ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION. The school for instruction of naval officers and others in the economy and uses of steam-engines at the above Institution is, we are glad to find, in a flourishing condition. It is, indeed, a sign of the times, that so many of our distinguished naval men should devote their leisure moments to the study of steam navigation, and that the Admiralty should insist upon such a step prior to granting an appointment to a steamer. We find also, that the spread of railway locomotion has aroused :among all classes a desire to understand the powers of she steam-engine, and, therefore, not only are the private courses of instruction given by Professor Ryan numer ously attended, but also his public lectures on the steam-engine:are crowded by ladies and gentlemen, who anxiously listen to his popular explanations of its won drous powers. It is not generally knlwn, that Dr. Ryan's courses include practical instruction on the Croydon Railway and also on the river. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE ASCOT HEATH RACES.

TRINITY TERM BANQUETS.—Trinity Term, in ac cordance with ancient usage, being that in the course of which the benchers of the inns of Court assemble in their respective halls to celebrate the long.establishcd custom of observing their " Great Grand Day," as it is called, the different inns of Court have this week given splendid dinners, which have been attended by the equity and common law judges, and other eminent individuals con.. nected with the profession. The Inner Temple meeting took place on Tuesday, Lincoln's-inn on Wednesday, and the Middle Temple yesterday. Amongst the guests at the latter there were the Lord Chief Baron, Mr. Justice Coleridge, Mr. Justice Erie, and the Rev. Dr. Robinson, the Master of the Temple. THE NEw MODEL PRISON.—An inquest was held on Monday before Mr. Wakley, at the New Model Prison, in p en _ tonville, on the body of a prisoner who died from natural causes, during which several facts were elicited respecting the manage.. ment of the prison. Some of the prisoners were examined in the absence of the officers, and they all agreed in speaking well of their treatment. One of them said he h a d b een in the prison nearly two years, and he did not know the names of any of the persons there, nor was he aware that any one had died there lately. The silent system has been relaxed in the cases of invalids. The system of ventilating and warming the cells was stated to be irbry good, and Mr. Wakley took occasion to contrast it with that of the House of Commons, where, he said, the temperature is kept so high, that it is sowing the seeds of bronchial disease, and the Mem. bers must seriously suffer from it. LONGEVITY IN TIIE WEST HIGHLANDS .—A few days ago Duncan M`Calman died at Dell, in the parish of Kil many, at the advanced age of 109 years. He retained all his faculties to the last, and was only ill for a few_ days. He Walked six miles across a rough m o o r last summer, and could take his glass of whisky with any young man of the parish. In the village of Bowmorc, Alexander Macdonald died last March, aged 95—in the same month, Margaret M‘Vicar died in the parish of Kilchoman, aged 98. Donald Orr died at Stravnish, in the patioh of Kildalton, last February, at the still more extraordinary age of 111 years—this old patriarch had never been out of the Island of Islay during his long life. Three years ago, Thomas Spalding died in the village of Bowmorc, at the age of 108 years; he was hale and healthy to the last hour of his hfe. In this same villaget here is now alive John Brown, a very handsome old man, who is in his 104th year. There are many others of great age in the island, though John Brown is now believed to be the oldest living—this speaks much for the salubrity of the western islands. Inverness Courier. HARE VERSUS MAN.—DOUBLE PUNPIIMENT.-- Some months ago, John Grantham, of Gawcott, was committed to Buckingham borough gaol, for eon-payment of a fine of SI. 16s. inflicted on him, on the information of one of the Duke of Buckingham's keepers, for snaring a hare. After a fortnight's im prisonment the fine was paid, and the man liberated. But game_ keeping JUSTICE had not done with John Grantham He was sur charged to the amount of 81. Is. Bd. for killing game, —to wit, the same identical hare, without a license, and his goods not realizing this amount, sent back to the borough gaol, there to remain during her Majesty's pleasure,—Liverpool Mercury. ESCAPE OF A CONVICT. —O n Monday morning four convicts were removed from the Lewes House of Correction in custody of two turnkeys, by way of the London and Brlpton Railway. On arriving at the London-bridge terminus three or them asked permission to retire for a few minutes, in order to which, one of them was unhandcuffed from his companion and left in charge of one turnkey, while the other three were absent with the other turnkey. The convict thus left behind was named Biddle. He had, when a youth, enlisted in the 12th Lancers, from which he deserted, and on being afterwards captured and em. barked for Ireland to join the regiment, when the vessel was nearly two miles from shore, he jumped overboard and swam back. 13 months ago he was tried at Lewes, and sentenced to 12 months' hard labour, for obtaining goods under false pretences. The im prisonment had just expired, when he called on his mother, who was acting as monthly nurse to the lady of the Rev. Mr. Morgan, of Piecomb, and carried off four of the Rev. Gentleman's spoons ; for this offence he was tried at the East Sussex quarter sessions a fortnight ago, and sentenced to seven years' transportation. During his stay in Lewes consequence of gaol, this, gnillness.y and in understand i t appears,that the h tu e r h n as key fei ed might h e been rather less careful of him than he would otherwise have been. we is, gone.a The turnkey himself states that he had turned his head hut for a second, and that on again looking round the prisoner w He had seized the opportunity of mixing with the erow and effected his escape. The handcuffs were still on one of his wrists when be slipped off.
