FAIR PLAY, tial,!4l°l"-TS AFFRAY WITH POACHERS.—On Thurs.- /4 0 " r !ght last a very desperate encounter took place between a ba lit , h t "s gang of poachers who have long infested the neigh gat,""Kl and the gamekeepers of Mr. Edwin James, of Heron 4_, hear Brentwood, in Essex. The keepers, three in Is o ' b er, and the constable of the parish, hastened to a 4 1 :1 1, Where they had heard a gun fired, and lay secreted (4 „ l ' the poachers came over the hedge, which they had no aft ter done, than the latter commenced a most ferocious for Upon the keepers, who were in the act of taking off t x 'n* coats sod preparing fur action.

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EN ENI NG, JANUARX 9, 1844. LT T-‘,sTrimPLLIG-TiI_,NCE. BANKRUPTCV.-(THIS DAY.) IN RE HENRY TURNER. In this matter the bankrupt had carried on business as a shipping agent, and had also been engaged extensively as a stockbroker, and in speculations upon 'Change. The whole amount of his debts and liabilities exceeded 40,0001., out of which nearly 7,0001. was contracted on account of his brother, and his available assets, according to his schedule, appeared to be about 13,0001. Several creditors appeared to oppose the application made by the bankrupt this day to be discharged, on the grounds that he had not truly accounted in his schedule for the proceeds of a cargo which he had been instructed by Mr. Wells, the principal creditor, to ship fi,r New York. The value of this cargo, it was elicited by the evidence of the opposing creditor, was up wards of 4,0001., and on account of which he only rendered a sum of 2,5001. It was therefore contended, on the part of Mr. Wells, that the bankrupt had been guilty of fraudulent conduct, and was, consequently, not entitled to pass his final examination. Other auditors also opposed; but the nature of their opposition was of the usual character in such cases. The further hearing of the case was adjourned to the 7th of February, in order that evidence might be adduced with re spect to the manner in which the bankrupt had acted, in his capacity of consignee of the property entrusted to him by Mr. IN RE THOMAS HotronD7 This day was' . appointed for the choice of assignees under the fat against the bankrupt, who had been a linendraper and hosier in Regent-street. The particulars of the case appeared in The Sun on the 15th of December, when he was last before the Court. After the admission of a few proofs in which there appeared no points of general interest, Mr. Isaac Salomon was appointed assigace. IN RE HENRY RICHARPS. A dividend was declared this day in this matter, when a sum of Is. 3d. in the pound was paid. A former dividend had been paid on the 17th of July, when 23. 6d. was received by the body of the creditors. It was stated that the assignees were likely to raise sufficient funds from the assets to enable them to pay a further dividend of about 2s. more in the pound, thus making of a dividend on the whole of nearly 7s. in the pound. POLICE INT'ELLIGENCE. MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. There was a quiet market for Cotton at Liverpool yesterday. without any alteration in prices, which were firm. Sales 4,000 bales, viz., 200 Maranham, at 54d. to ; 50 Egyptian, at 7d. ; 200 Surat, at 3il. to 4d. ; 300 Pernambuco, at 61(1. to 6P. ; and the rest American, at 41d. to Gid. per lb.—The demand for Railway Shares was somewhat limited, but they were firm. Eastern Counties, New, 124 ; Grand Junction, 235 ; Great Western, Fifths, 194 ; Birmingham, Quarters, 284 ; Rouen and Havre, 111 ; South Eastern, 361 ; ditto, New, 364 ; Paris and Orleans, 33 ; and Paris and Lyons, 3 6-20. The letters and papers by the West India mail were not delivered in the usual course of post this morning, and much disappointment was felt in consequence. There were no later colonial arrivals announced in the City to-day. A pamphlet (No. 5 of a series, with the title of "Ire land, before and after the Union") has been forwarded to us for review, as it refers to the subject of banking in that country. By the way, the previous four numbers have not come to hand. The subject is;one of immense importance to the welfare of Ireland, and as occasion serves, we may take an opportunity of adverting to the contents of the fifth num ber, as it is most intimately connected with monetary affairs, and therefore fairly suited to com ment under this head. As respects the political portion of the series of pamphlets from the pen of our indus trious friend Mr. Montgomery Martin, we leave that point to the editorial department. For the present it is only necessary to remark that for the purposes of elucidating truth, the " Banking (Ire land) Pamphlet " of the author named is worth a careful perusal ; the more so, as it refers to the important topic of " absenteeism," as well as to " Parliamentary repre sentation." The payment of the dividends commenced at the Bank of England this morning, and there was, indeed, a most numerous attendance of the public creditors, who were most anxious to get them on interest. " Are the sove reigns money ?" was a question almost constantly asked V the recipients. " Why, don't you see they're new," was as frequently reiterated by the hard-worked (on such occasions as the :present) employ6s of the Bank of England. The purchases of stock yesterday by the Government brokers were extended beyond the sum named under this: head. They took 70,0001. Consols on private ' account, and about 25,0001. to 26,0001. for the Savings' Banks. There is a great diversity of opinion as to the actual amount of Stock bought yes terday by the Government brokers. It is per haps not of importance minutely to ascertain the real sum, as, indeed, it is barely possible to do so, as privately more is offered on the same terms as openly bid fur ; but it is an interesting fact to find so steady an investment of capital in the funds, as far as the interest of the public creditor is concerned. Some accounts give the purchases yesterday at from 80,0001. to 90,000/. stock. The brokers for the Commissioners for the Sink ing Fund made their first purchase this morning, but as they bought, altogether, about 26,0001. stock in the Three per Cent. Consob, we have not been able to ob tain the precise amounts taken of Consols and Exchequer Bills, on account of the debt, the savings banks, and for private individuals. The reappearance of the Commis- 1 sioners for the redemption of the debt was hailed with satisfaction. Consols for the Account have been quoted this morning at 97-1 and at 97k. Exchequer Bills have touched 70s. premium ; India Bonds, under 1,000/. are worth 81s. premium. Bank Stock commanded an improvement to 1871, or 1,1 2 - per cwt. higher than the day before yester 201;34Rweictilreteidt C l. en l ts n . d h ia to S e to re cl e r ei l t i e a d s d a y ; while the New Throe-and-a-Half per Cents. have im- Three per f p a r l o lc v n ed t to '3 27 1 from 98 to 97: 7 t ex. dividend. The market for Spanish Bonds has fallen again to day, the Three per Cents, to 30i, and the Five per Cents. to 21i, but the latter have since rallied to 21H. Although the accounts from Lisbon are held to be fa vourable, the Converted Portuguese Bonds have gone back from 441, to 44. Dutch Stock is a shade lower than yesterday. Brazilian Stock has fallen from 75i to 75; but Al exican remains firm at yesterday's rates. The London and Birmingham Railway Shares were sold early this morning at 136 premium, but they have since rallied to 138 premium. Great Western, the Brightons, the Eastern Counties, the Lancaster and Car ' lisle are firm. The other Shares remain very much the same as yesterday. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

Of this parish, the ancient family of Fife possess nineteen twentieths, or thereby; the remaining twentieth belonging to the Duke of Richmond, successor to the estates of the noble family of Gordon, at Gordon Castle. There was lately built by the heritors of the parish a new church for behoof of the Establishment; the old church having been left standing for the accommodation of the parish, until such time as the new one would be ready to be occupied. The new church was ready a few weeks ego, and was taken possession of by the residuary minister, and some twenty persons, partly belonging to the parish. In the mean time the trustees of the late James Earl of Fife, understanding that nearly the whole of the parish had adhered to the free church of Scotland, and had been worshipping in a barn since the disruption, did, at their request, grant the parishioners the use of the old church. Any one ems imagine with what feelings of joy and thankfulness the 'good people of Urquhart returned to tlieir old church, and to their old and accustomed scats in that church, with the dust of their forefathers around them, and also with what feelings of gratitude towards the honourable trustees for their kind and liberal conduct towards them. Everything scorned Trosperous fur the rural people; when, 10 1 on Friday evening week, an in terdict, at II e instance of the Duke of Richmond, was served on their beloved pastor, and sonse of their ma nagers, prohibiting them irons the use of the old church; and the people are again cast out at this severe season; to worship where they best may ; and all because this gcnercus Duke is tile trustee—only the trustee—of a few pounds-worth of its stone and lime.- —The Witness.

SVGAR.—The market for British Plantation is firm, and, inclusive of those sold by auction, about 700 hhds. have found buyers, again at higher prices, establishing an advance of fully is to 13 6d since this day fortnight. The public sales have consisted chiefly of 93 hhds Barbadoes, 144 hhds St. Lucia, 8,533 bags Mauritius, and 2,055 bags Bengal, nearly all of which ) found ready buyers, and went off with much spirit at higher prices for nearly all descriptions, but more particularly for the lower sorts of Mauritius, and the mid quality of Bengal, which must be quoted fully is to Is 6d dearer, mid to fine greyish yellow Barbadoes brought 63s to 67s ; for mid brown to good mid greyish yellow St. Lucia 54s to 59s 6d; low to fine yellow Mauritius 58s to 675; low to fine brown ditto 50s to 57s 6d ; soft brown Kbaur 48s to 495, mid to good soft yellow ditto at 56s to 60s, and low to fine white Benares 62s 6d to G9s.

Privately in Ceylon a large business has been done, amounting to about 4,000 bags, chiefly after the public sales of Thursday last, at 60s 6d to 61s for good ord quality, but since those advertised for Friday were withdrawn, a further , ' advance of Is to 2s had in some instances been obtained, good ord having been sold at 62s to 635. The stock of British Plantation in London on the Ist inst. was 3,742 hhds 1,419 brls and bags against 4,457 hlids 2,388 brls and bags at the same time in 1843. The stock of foreign is larger than in Jan. 1843, and also of East India, to a slight extent.

Mr. Gaff, a gentleman residing in the Greve, raised her up, and humanely assisted her to her master's house, when Mr. Miller, of Clarence-place, promptly attended to examine into the nature of her injuries. The right collar-bone was found fractured ; she had a severe cut on the back of her head, be sides being much bruised on her legs and body. The fracture having been reduced and wounds dressed, she was conveyed the following morning to St. Bartholomew's Hospital. Surely this, with numerous similar accidents of daily occurrence, shouLl operate as a warning to persons driving furiously and negligently in the leading thoroughfares in the neighbourhood of London. MISERY AND DESTITUTION.—About noon on Saturday last a young man, having all the appearance of abject poverty and wretchedness, was perceived by Wilson, the hall porter of St. George's Hospital, lying upon the steps in front of the institution. The poor fellow was unable to speak from exhaustion, and upon the authorities being made acquainted with the circumstance, he was at once admitted therein, when it was discovered that the patient was suffering from a violent attack of fever, brought on by want and wretchedness. Every ' attention was rendered his situation demanded, and yesterday he was enabled to state that his name was James Goodhall, that he had worked as a gardener near Bath, from which place he had walked penniless (110 miles' distance) up to find none. He had been wandering about for day s without food or lodging, and was at length di scov ered as above decr i h ed London for the purpose of seeking employment , but c ould He is now going on favourably. MURDER.—A very great sensation was caused in the neighbourhood of Guildford on Saturday mmning, frorn Lord Grantley's keeper having bee n found in the canal close to his Lordship's preserves, which join the house, murdered. It appears he was at the public-house at Braraley between eight and nine o'clock on Saturday ev en i ng , where there was a raffle for a fat hog, and said to the landl or d he must go roun d hi s Lordship's prese:ves, to look aft er the p h eas ants, and would return in an hour or so to take supp er , s i nc e which he never was alive. Guns were heard a b ou t that hour in the direction the body was found, and it is supposed he came on the poach ers instantly, who not being able to get away, and most likely beir.g recognised by the keeper, shot him through the head, and, from the mangled appearance must have brutally be left aen ton Lord,the bank. Pie him about the head, then dragged him about twenty yards, and thrown him into the canal, which is close to the spot. The as il le e tt Ns a .a w s mthaerklasteofLacaa. nd lived with and the ground is covered with blood. His hat and stick were . s d ev 6 e , r r e an s i t l r e u y igle between the parties is very evident, He was a great favourite of the pre iafemaons d tp s e o % t , v e e n t f e u , : I n d ) ,n THE ESCAPED CONYICTS FROM NOTTI N G H Am GAOL.—NOTTINGI IAM , S ATURDAY N IGH T._The unwearied exertions of the poli ce t o di scover the hidi n g places of the des perate burglars who es ca p e d f rom t h e county gaol on New Year's eve have at length hod some degree of success. On Friday last, in consequence of some intelligence ho had re ceived, Inspector Raynor, of the Nottingham police, and three of the rurais, went to Leeds, and spent the day in making in quiries respecting Binns. The next morning, at about eight o'clock, they went to the prisoner's sister's house, in Fountain street, and discovered him in the pantry in the act of washing his hands. Rayner immediately seized him, and handcuffed him, and conveyed him to the Leeds gaol. The prisoner was afterwards brought to Nottingham by the train, and taken in a fly to gaol, whither he was attended by an immense concourse of spectators. Nothing satisfactory has been learnt respecting the others. The turnkey Lowndes has se far recovered as to he pronounced almost. out of danger. GREAT PEDESTRIAN MATCH.--A very considerable assemblage of the admirers of this description of exercise was attracted yesterday (Monday) to the Old Hat, Ealing, to witness the decision of the foot race between Charles Jenkin son (the London Stag) and William Robinson, of Newton Moor. The terms of the match were, to run a distance of 440 yards, Robinson allowing the Stag 10 yards at starting, and receiving 10/. as a consideration for having come to Lon don to accommodate his antagonist. Jenkinson has been long known to the London cognoscenti on account of the numerous extraordinary performances he has successfully undertaken; and Robinson's fame as a remarkably fleet runner stands very high, particularly in his native county, a proof of which is apparent in the fact of his friends coming forward freely to back him, notwithstanding his having conceded the great ad vantage of a start of ten yards to so renowned an adversary as the London Stag. The ground being roped and staked half way, and every other preliminary arrangement made, the men appeared at the scratch abou t four o'clock, and after an ad mirably contested race, Robinson was declared the winner by four yards, having got over the ground in the wonderfully short time of 51 seconds. Great interest was created by this race, and large sums of money changed hands on the occasion. Yesterday afternoon Mr. H iggs held an inquest at the Regent's Arms, Regent-street, Wesminster, on the body of Martha Wyatt, age d sixt y - four. It appeared in evidence that deceased was the w sfe of an old boatswain who had served under Nelson for twenty-five years, and who died suddenly a short time since, and fore told that, when he was gone, his widow would kill her self by Lard drinking. She had beets for twenty years a deta•mined dram-drinker, and, verifying. her husband's prediction, she drank harder than ever after his death. She was in the receipt of a pension of 254 a year, and on Thursday last received a quarter of it at the Admiralty. She died suddenly at eleven o'clock on Saturday, and only 21. was found after her depth. Though she had respectable friends, she would not associate with them, but preferred the society of the lowest drunkards in the lowest parts of Westminster, and at last went to lodge with a family of :.;ix persons who veget a ted in kitchen, ten fi.a.t. by twelve, in Regent street, Vincent square, in this room she died, mud it was proved that for fifteen days previously she hail not changed her clothes. At her husband's deaths she bad a considerable sum of money, divers articles of plate and furniture, but after her death nothing save pawnbrokers' duplicates of them was found. Verdict, " Natural death, accelerated by drunkenness." DuuNKENNEss.—Young men are generally intro duced to this vice by the company they keep ; but do you care fully guard against ever submitting yourself to be the com panion of low, vulgar.and dissipated men ; and hold it as a maxim, yon had Letter be alone than In mean company. Let your companions be such as yourself, or superior ; for the worth of a man will alwass be rated by that of his company. You do not find pigeons associate wish hawks, or lambs with bears ; and it is unnatural for a moral man to be the com panion of blackguards. Dr. Kalley, after suffer:ng an imprisonment of four months in Madeira, has at length been released bail.—Kilmarnock Journal. BOW-STREET:--(THIS DAY.) A dissipated-looking man, named Jeremiah Sulivan, was placed before Mr. Jardine, charged with stealing a pair of Wellington boots from the feet of another prisoner in the station-house cell. The prisoner had been given _into custody on a charge of housebreaking, but the case was nut substantiated, and he was discharged. As he was leaving the dock the officer said there was another charge against the prisoner. When he went to the cell this morning to bring the prisoners out, the prosecutor, Mr. Hudson, who had been brought to the station-house for being drunk, said that some one had taken his boots off in the night. The witness examined the cell, and found the boots on the feet of the prisoner. On further examination he discovered the shoes the prisoner wore when taken into custody in the water-closet. The prisoner said' the boots were not the pro secutor's, for he (the prisoner) bad bought them the day before in Monmouth-street. Mr. Hudson, the owner of the hoots, said he was brought to the station-house in a state of intoxication, and after he had been in the cell a short time, he fell asleep. He was aroused soon after by feeling some one taking off his boots, but he took no notice of this, as he thought he was at home, he being in the habit of having his boots taken off for him. The prisoner, in his defence, said he was drunk, and did not know what he was about. Mr. JARDINE asked the officer if this was the case? The officer said the prisoner was drunk. Mr. JARDINE said it was just possible that the prisoner's story was correct, and therefore on this occasion he would be discharged. But he would advise him to be very cautious in future, as he had had a very narrow escape. MARYLEBONE—(THIS DAY.) Edward Burton, a person having the appearance of a gen tleman's servant, was charged with having swindled an Irish farm servant of two sovereigns. The Irishman had lately arrived in London from New South Wales, and was about to go by railway to Bristol, and while waiting with his luggage at the Mint public-house, the pri soner came in and entered into conversation; an accomplice followed, and they contrived, by showing a large sum of money (counterfeit of course) to get two sovereigns from complainant. He discovered the trick, and when the prisoner attempted to escape, and dropped the two sovereigns, he caught him by the collar, and gave him into custody. The complainant added that he had now lost his passage, and could not leave for Bristol for another week. The prisoner, in answer to inquiries from the Magistrate, s lid that he was a groom, and had formerly lived in the service of some of the first noblemen, and amongst others the Duke of Rutland, the Earls of Ontlow and Fitzwilliam, as also in that of Mr. Tierney, of Somerset House. His present residence he refused to disclose. Mr. ItAwmr4soN said that it would be an act of injustice to bind over the poor Iriihman to prosecute at the sessions, and he would, therefore, as the more merciful mode of remunerating him for loss of time and trouble, give him his two sovereigns, and add him a third to pay his expenses during the time he would be obliged to wait his passage. He would remand the prisoner till Thursday next. The Irishman expressed his heartfelt gratitude, and then left the Court. CLERKENWELL-(THIS DAY.) Jahn Harvey, a well-known thief, was charged with felo niously attempting to enter the house of Air. Meares, a gentle man of fortune, residing at No. 12, Ne:v Ormond-street. It appeared from the evidence tha' on the previous night, Mr. Meares being standing in the hall, heard a key in the street door, and the latch gently lifted up. The key was taken out again, and another key applied. Mr. Meares rushed to the door, opened it, and seized the prisoner. A policeman was sent for, and several skeleton keys were found on his person. Mr. GREEN WOOD sentenced the prisoner to three months' imprisonment. UNION HALL.--(THIS DAY.) Morgan Tones, an athletic man, was charged with com mitting a violent assault on James Fox, who is confined to the hospital owing to the serious nature of the injuries he received. It appeared that on the prec e di ng d a y th e defendant seas seen passing along Kensington-lane, followed by a man much his inferior in point of stature. The defendant, addressing the latter person, was heard to exclaim, If you follow me any longer, I will settle you !" The man continued to go after the defendant, who turned upon him and gave him a desperate blow in the face, which knocked him into the road, and in flicted a most extensive wound down nearly the whole length of his cheek. The man was taken up in a state of insensihility, and conveyed to the hospital, where it was found that the in jury he had received was of such a serious nature, that he was not in a fit state to enable him to appear against his assailant, who was remanded. Edward May was charged with stealing a twelfth cake from the shop of a pastry-cook in East-lane. The vvisoner, with two other boys, was observed lurking about the complainant's shop, and after a little time he was seen to snatch the cake, weighing nearly 301b5., and sun off. A clerk in the Bank of England happening to witness the transaction, gave pursuit to the thief, wh ) finding that he was overtaken, turned round on his pursuer and threw the cake at his head. The clerk, however, secured the prisoner, who was committed for trial. A MEMENTO or MORTALITY.—The Chinese, it is said, as soon as they come to years of discretion, make provi sion for their deaths, by laying in a ceffin along with their other furniture. Her Majesty's Ministers seem to have accu rately copied this custom of the Celestials ; for no sooner were they placed in a position to exercise their discretion, than they made the surest possible provision for their deaths, by hiring the hearse on which their predecessors were borne to their graves. Free trade was the coffin of the late as it threatens to be of the present Administration.—Post. SUSPECTED INCENDIARISM. ROCHESTER, AION - DAY.—Yesterday afternoon, about half-past three o clock, an express arrived at Bochester, bringing information that anin cendiary fire had broken out in the stackyard of Mr. Allen, who holds the Buckholm Farm, at High Halstow, in the hundred of lico. Mr. Batten, the agent of the Sun Fire-office here, immediately ordered out his engine, and about four o'clock pro ceeded to the spat, which is about six miles distant from Ro chester. Very judicious steps were taken to suppress the flames, and to these and the fortunate circumstance of the wind setting off the barn and house, which immediately ad join the stackyard, may be attributed the preservation of . the rest of the property. Directly in front of the farm-house is a large horse-pond, from which the engine obtained a plentiful supply of wafer, which was poured on the burning mass, while a lamber of labourers from the adjoining hamlet of High Halstow spread the materials of the stacks upon the ground, and removed into the adjacent turnip field the small portion which they could from time to time save. Mr. Allen stated that the property destroyed consisted of two stacks of oats and two of beans, the whole being the produce of 26 acres. From information gathered from Mr. Allen and upon the spot, there appears but little doubt that the fire was the work of an incendiary. The farm servant of Mr. Men, going ac cidentally out of the house between two and three o'clock in the afternoon, saw smoke issuing from the farm-yard, and on going to see what was the matter, found one of the stacks alight, but no one was to be seen near. The discovery was made at the same time by the people at Halstow Church, which is within sight of the farm, when Mr. Lewis, the clergyman of the parish, was about to commence divine service, and that gentle man, ss ith a praiseworthy feeling, at once dismissed the congre gation, urging them to assist in putting out the fire, setting them an example in his own person. Some lucifer-matches were found she rtly after the fi.e broke out near the spot, and the constable of the parish, who had been making inquiries, said that he had sufficient information to call for an investiga tion. The general opinion seems to be that the crime was committed by a stranger, as Mr. Allan has always been on the best terms with his workpeople, and is universally respected. Mr. Allen is insured in the Globe Fire-office, but it is doubtful whether or not to the full extent of the damage sustained. At nine o'clock last night the flames were so far subdued that no further danger was apehended. BateNTISHAM.—INCENDIARY FIRE.—On Monday evening last, about seven o'clock, a fire was discovered raging in the homestead of Mr. Asplen, farmer of this place, and one of the guardians of the poor ; the flames spread rapid:y, and in spite of the exertions of the neighbours and the presence of two engines, were not subdued till all the stacks in the yard (but one), and a barn containing threshed corn, were con sumed. The dwelling-house was saved, as were the imple ments and stock en the premises. There is no doubt as to the conflagration having been caused by an incendiary, as Mr. Aspen has for some time past be en su bj ecte d to a system of annoyance. The evening beioee the fire, the manes and tails of some horses were cut off, and very lately all the gates on his farm were degpoilad of their hinges.--Gainbridge Independent. Taxes.—Sotite months ago we stated that a de• crease would be found in the asse sse d t axes , i n consequence of parties having closed up windo ws an d re d uce d art i c l es o f establishment to balance against the oppressive and odious in come impo , t. This has proved to be the case, as the revenue accounts just publisl-:eil show. This veer, for the reason we have given, there will be a further falling off in the assessed taxes department. DR. MAGINN.—" Talking on one occasion about his ' Shak-pcare Papers,' I asked him why he did not write the chaiacter of Hamlet ? ' I have often thought of it,' he said, • but never could make up my mind to it. I.'m afraid of him.' Of all the Roman poets, Horace is the fellow for me.

COPENHAGEN, DEC. 30.—The Budget, for 1844, has been published in ti - e journals of this city by his Majesty's order. The revenue is estimated at 15,767,167 rix dollars, and the expenditure at 15 ; 620,767, consequently leaving a surplus of 146,490 rix dollars. NEW MUSIC. NEW SONGS BY BEULER. Here are two songs, written and set to music by Mr. Beuler, the author of the very popular one of "The man that could'nt get warm," which made such a stir at the Brill dinner in reference to Sir Robert Peel. The first, entitled " John's party, unknown to his wife," a domestic drama, contains much truth. The next, " The English Jacks," is a song on the various applications of the word "Jack," similar to the old story of the word " Box," but they are more numerous, and the author has evinced considerable tact in their introduction andin telling the story. The follow ing we give as a skcimen : Some roguWyou to Port Jackson send, And some you give Jack Ketch's end ; On Jacks you saw your vood, I think, And Jacks-of-all-trades " Jacky " drink. You play at bowls and get the knack . Of bowling nearest to the lack : If boot e'er pinch you like a rack, To take it off you get a Jack. Then there are animals you call, Jackdaw, Jackass, and the Jackal— Jack-all, I say, I tell no crac, In Angland ev'ry thing is Jack ! Oui, Oui, Oni, Oui, &c. Mr. Beuler has composed a sprightly melody to his words, and has shown himself no mean artist as a caricaturist, in the illustrations on the title page. LITERATURE. LE MIROIR FRANCAIS ; ou, Repertoire de la Lit terature Francaise Contenaparaine. Pat tI. This is a new monthly publication, intended to present to English readers of French litera ture the cream of the productions of the mower❑ authors of France as they appear in the reviews and journals of Paris. The plan is a good one, and if care and taste are exhibited in the selec- tion, the work has a good chalice of succeeding. The preface states, with great truth, that the view given by English periodicals of the current literature of France is a very unsatisfactory one ; but to the great mass of English readers, though they may be well acquainted with the French language, any other is only to be attained with considerable difficulty. Not a tenth part of the names that are popular in France, are at all known as writers to the English public. Beranger, Delavigne, La rnartine, Thiers, ,Scribe, Alexandre Dumas, Vic tor Hugo, Balzac, Paul de Kock, George Sand, all these are known in England, by translation or reputation; but there is a long list of writers whose works have not yet crossed the Chan nel. To quote only the names of one So ciety—that of the Deus de Lettres de Paris —we find it includes Audibrand, Bar bier, Bignon, Alphonse Karr, Leon Gozlan, Cauchois, Lemaire, Lacroix, Touchard Lafosse, Souvestre (Emile), Viardot, Gay (Sophie), Masson, and a great number of others, which are almost " names unkniwn." The Mipoir is to be the means of introducing them more closely to an English circle of readers. The publication is of course only a compilation, and the chief merit of the conductors Avill be that of selecting with care and good taste. The present number contains a sketch of the " Life and Writings of Vanini," by M. Victor Cousin, " Georges et Cecile," by G. De Moieties, "La foppatelle," by Masset ; and the commencement of a tale by Alexandre Dumas, intitled " Fernande." To the English student of French literature the Aliroir will be a most welcome publication, and to the support of this large and increasing circle we can strongly recommend it. REPORT ON THE PRACTICE OF INTER MENT IN TO WNS. Clowes, London, 1844. The reader who is at all curious in such mat ters, will find within the boards of this octavo volume an immense mass of singular information, collected from an infinite variety of sources, on the subject of the present practice of interment in towns. The subject is one that deeply con cerns the welfare of the community, and will, we suppose, engage the attention of Parliament during the approaching session. For the present Report on it we are indebted to Mr. Chadwick, Secretary to the Poor-law Commission, who has drawn it up with much minuteness and ability, weighing carefully conflicting evidence—which, in one or two cases that we could mention, is of an exceedingly contradictory character—and coming to a decision which few of his readers will be inclined to impugn. After giving, in detail, the statement, pro and con., of a host of physicians, undertakers, butchers, &c., provincial as well as metropolitan, Mr. Chadwick comes to the conclusion that all interments in churches or in towns are essentially of an injurious, and even dangerous tendency. Some of the statements which he adduces in corroboration of this deci sion are of the most sickening and loathsome cha racter possible, and none can read them without wondering that a remedy of the evils complained of has been so long delayed. But decidedly the most impressive and important portions of the Report are those which refer to the habits of the poorer classes in London, Manchester, and many of our great manufacturing towns, who, it seems, are too often in possession of but one room, where the whole family sleep and take their meals; so that on the occasion of a death occur ing among them, the corpse hastily thrust into a slight wooden coffin is compelled to remain in the solitary apartment till the day of interment, which Is often protracted till the process of de composition has commenced. As if this was not revolting enough, the coffin has, not seldom, been known to do duty as a table, on which the day's meal is eaten, and sometimes it has even been made to answer the purpose of a cup-board, in which gin, candles, bread, and other articles have been deposited. We can imagine nothing so demoralising as habits of this sort—the result of those reckless desperations and utter disregard of decency which poverty so often engenders— and we think Mr. Chadwick is deserving of the highest praise for having, in the valuable prac tical Report before us, directed public attention to the subject. ROYAL COMMISSION OF FINE ARTS. Whitehall, Jan. 8, 1844. Her Majesty's Commissioners hereby give notice :-- 1.

BRUTAL OUTRAGE BY THE MARINES UPON SOME Sal Loas. —These disgraceful and brutal outrages are still con. tinued nightly by these ruffians, in military garb, who thereby keep Woolwich in the greatest state of excitement possible. The night before last the marines more infuriated, if possible, rushed into the public-houses along High-street, declaring they would murder all that opposed, and in one house, the Duke on Horseback, a poor fellow of a sailor Lad to make a precipi tate retreat up a place called the " Gardens," followed by about a dozen of his cowardly assailants, the civilians assembled not liking to interfere, from the fear of receiving some injury from their brutal and ruffianly conduct. So great was the riot that a military officer with an orderly was seen opposite the door of the Duke on Horseback, who, upon being seen by the soldiers, they ran away, but not before threatening to strike Alt. Clifford, the Inspector, and Mr. Watts, a parish-constable, which they would have c.irried into effect, had not police-constable Walker, 298 11, been there and ceen their cowardly intention, and took one of the fellows to the station-house, whom they dared not rescue, knowing him to be a most powerful and determined man, that would teach them better. Last night a similar scene was fully expected, but happily did not take place, ant it is to hoped will not again, as it not only causes a stagnation of trade, but prevents the inhabitants leaving their homes, for fear of encountering such brutal and unmanly ruffians, and perhaps being injured for life. PENNY I OSTAGE.—CAUTION.— Complaints are con tinually being made that letters and parcels, beyond the two penny rate are charged to the receiver, after having be,in pre paid, in money, at the time of being posted. his arises in consequence of postmasters and receiving-houses not being provided with stamps that will mark beyond " Paid Two pence," and who are, therefore, compelled to mark in red ink the postage, showing no difference between a letter thus already paid than one to be received for. It is true the number of unpaid letters is marked on the way-bill, and dis patched with the several bags to the different post towns; but until proper stamps are provided it will be impossible to pre vent mistakes. The remedy against the evil which tine public have at present, is to ascertain the weight of such letters at the receiving -house, and then rureliase the number of pi Ist-labels required, and place them upon the surface themselves—the sir:et rules of the Post-office forbidding postmasters h.. am label ling letters in their offices.—Post Magazine.

WILSON'S MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENTS — Last night a numerous assemblage, of the levers of Scottish song were entettained by Mr. Wilson, at the Music Hall, Store street, with " Anither night wi' Burns." The exertions of Mr. Wilson, in this new method of pleasing thz , public, have be.n so often commented upon, that* is unnecessary for us to speak of the present entertainmentil detail. It may be sufficient to say that the same good taste in the execution of the music, and judgment in the selection of the songs, which have hitherto guided Mr. Wilson in his endeavours to prevent disappointment, were evinced on this occasion. Mr. Wilson was in excellent voice last night, and the au dience appeared well dispesed to enjoy the fun and sen timent of the sings selected for their edification. Alternate laughter and applause were the result of Mr. Wilson's endea vours, and, indeed, so great was the pleasure which the charm ing effusions of Burns's fancy seemed to awaken, that in many instances an encore was insisted upon. " Whistle, and I'll come to you, my ILd," " Mary Moris'on," " Green grow the rashes, 0," " Bonnie Jean," " The Battle o' Sherra-muir," " My spouse Nancy," and -" Here around the ingle blazing," were among the best of the chosen compositions. These were all sung with so much taste and feeling, and with so perfect an appreciation of the poet's intention, that Mr. Wilson was well deserving of the applause bestowed upon him, the more especially as he did not allow the de scriptive portion of the entertainment to extend to an unne cessary length. The audience were kept in a state of good humour, and in that ; enviable condition did they leave the oncert-room, evidently unwilling to quarrel with the turden of the last song of the evening—" Happy we are a' thegether." A BELGIAN SORCERER. A Brussels journal of Sunday furnishes us with the following history of jugglery acting upon ignorance and superstition. A journey man at Uccle, named Hertveld, had the reputa tion of being the most redoubtable of sorcerers. His fame reached the ears of a peasant who had a daughter about 17 years of age, suffering from a complaint, which was'in truth no other than pulmonary phthisis. The father, impelled by his natural affections, unguided by education, deter mined to consult the sorcerer . H ertve ld imme diately obeyed the summons, and came with a most awful-looking book, which he opened with mystic signs, and muttered over- it some incantations perfectly unintelligible to the family, and certainly equally so to himself. This done, he inquired the seat of the disease, and then commanded the peasant to dig a hole in the floor of his cottage, which was neither paved nor floored. A pickaxe was got, and the hole made. When of a certain depth, Hert veldt uttered a piercing cry, stooped down, and brought from the bottom a pincushion full of pins, which he himself, unperceived by those around him, had adroitly thrown into it. Having hastily counted the pins, he exclaimed to the father, " Your daughter is saved! There are only 27 pins, but if there had been one more,she must have died." He then explained that these pins belonged to as many witches, who used them . in torturing the young woman ; but for a sum of money to be divided among them he could in duce them to forego their malice. The deluded father gave him 15f., which he said would do. The pincushion, with all the pins in it, was then thrown into the fire by time pretended sorcerer, who, in order, as he said, to avoid contami nation, took it up with a pair of tongs. This article consumed, the rogue offered to show the party the Devil himself; assuring them that he would be perfectly harmless, as he would make him appear in the shape of a black beetle. With fear and trembling they consented, and even gave 10f. more for this sight of the enemy of mankind. Having pocketed the money, Hertveld led his dupes into the stable, and the pickaxe was again set to work. The hole being formed, by the same sleight-of hand he produced a very ordinary small box, in which, he said, his Satanic Majesty was confined. This was carried into the cottage, and opened by Hertveld, with a repetition of all his jug glery. The beetle was exhibited to the as tonished and terrified eyes of the family, all of whom devoutly crossed themselves to avert the evil influence, Their curiosity being satiated, the box and the Devil were committed to the flames, as the most appropriate berth, and the sorcerer took his departure. The poor girl's suf ferings continued undiminished, and the p oo r deluded people suspected the fraud that had been imposed upon them. An informa tion was laid against Hertveld, and he and his cabalistic volume were brought be fore the magistrate. The book proved to be an old disfigured - History of Joseph 11., not one word of which could Hertveld read, for he does not know one letter in the alphabet. The im postor was committed for trial.—Galigktanrs Messenger. THE WORLD SOME EIGHTY YEARS AGO. A Newcastle Chronicle, dated March 1, 1766, which has recently fallen into our hands, con tains some odds and ends of old-world intelli gence that seem worth reprinting : THE CORN TRADE.—The first paragraph that catches the eye is the following, under date " London, February 20 :"—" Twenty thousand quarters of wheat have, since the first of this month, been shipped at Yarmouth for exportation." Then follows the announce ment, that on the 18th :the Royal assent was given to the following, among other Bills: " An Act to prohibit the exportation of corn . , grain, malt, neal, flour, bread, biscuit, and starch for a limited time." "An Act for allowing Ilia importation of corn and grain, from his Ma jesty's colonies in America into this kingdom, for a limited time, free of duty." "An Act for allowing the importation of oats and oatmeal into this kingdom, for a limited time, duty free." Following, in natural consequence, the Act last quoted, is this paragraph, dated London, Feb. 25 No less than 60,000 quarters of oats have been commissioned from Holland, since the late Act passed, for importing that commodity duty free." THE COAL TRADE.—" A Bill for regulating the statute measure of coals at Newcastle and Sunderland, and for making twenty chaldrons to a keel, is preparing to be laid before an august assembly :"--the "august assembly" being none other than the old, rotten, boroughmongering House of Commons, then too sacred a thing to be even named in print profane. FOREIGN FREE TRADE.—" HAMBLIRGII, FEB. 11.—It's said that the King of Prussia demands of this city a total exemption of duties for all goods that go from hence into his dominions." MATRIMONIAL..—HOW oddly the following would read in the columns of our Newcastle namesake of the present date !—" A lbw days ago was married, at Ask ham, in Westmoreland, Mr. Thomas Castlehow of Water-Millock, Cumberland, to Miss Stelley of Askham ; a sprightly, genteel. and well-accomplished young lad,zvith a fortune of 3,0001." REE TRA DE REJOICINGS IN 1766.—" Extract of , a Letter from London."—" On Friday, the affair of the American Stamp Act was reassumed in a certain great assembly (Parliament), when a great patriot, by way of recapitulation of the facts of a former oration, held forth for about an hour; every whisper was hushed, and every ear attentive. He was seconded by G. C. who gained great applause, and by several others who gained a great majority. "Several of our principal merchants attended this meeting, after the breaking up of which, they ordered the bells in the city to be rung, and the ships in the river to display their colours. And it is now concluded that the great bar to trade is removed or repealed; sonic say it is to remain as it stands and die ; others that 'tis suspended for five years. Be it as it will, 'tis all over ; trade has got a fine people are full of spirits, and joy is seen glistening on every countenance. This has been a busy day, and not less than 10,000 letters will be dispatched of this event to. night. The great orator is now toasted, The Patron of Commerce, by way of addition to his other patriotic titles." AN EPISCOPAL WIT.—" The Right Rev. the Bishop of B—, preaeling lately in the city, observed that the Christian religion was, at this time, in a condition not much unlike that of its great Master; for, between superstition on the one hand, and -enthusiasm on the other, it was crucified between two thieves."—Verily, the year of grace, 1844, bears a strong family likeness to its predecessor !—Dterkain .Chronicle. LOVE AND SUICIDE.—Some weeks ago a young woman, called Mary Whiteley, who had lived as housekeeper with Mr. Hay, surgeon, in Park-square, was missing, and, kora the circumstance of her clothes being found on a post near the river side, there could be little doubt that she had sought a watery grave. Day after day, however, the river was searched in vain for the body, and hopes began to be entertained that she was still alive. These hopes have proved to be groundless. On Wednesday last, upwards of three weeks from the day when she was missed her body rose to the surface of the water, and was disco.- vered floating down the river Aire, betwixt the good-gates and the dam, at Knostrop. From the investigation which took place at the inquest, held on the same day, it appeared that an attachment had subsisted for some time previously between the unfortunate woman and a fish-dealer called Robert Arm strong. The intimacy, however, had been broken off, and Armstrong was going to be married in a short time to another woman. The jury gave in their verdict, " Found drowned, but by what means there was not sufficient evidence to show. —Leeds Times. SUDDEN DEATH IN A BALL-ROOM.—A truly awful instance of the uncertainty of life occurred at Roes, on Wednes day se'nnight. A party of friends had met to spend the evening at the house of Mr. Thomas Edwards, New-street, when one of the party, Miss Eliza Fisher, who resided within a few miles of Ross, on standing up to kin a quadrille, became suddenly in disposed, and before medical assistance could be procured, the vital spark had tied. The deceased was much be'oved and re spected by a large circle of acquaintance.—Monmouthshire Merlin. _ • . CAPT. WAKEFIELD. — The late Commander Arthur Wakefield, R. N., whose lamented fate we recorded last week, was in the 44th year of his age at the time of his death. He was the third son of Edward Wakefield, Esq., of Burnham, Essex, the author of the well-known statistical and po itical account of Ireland. Captain Wakefield entered the navy at ten years of age, and first sailed in the Nisus frigate, with Captain Philip Beaver, whose expedition to Bulama, and other services, are matters of history. Ile was subsequently present at the taking of Batavia and the Isle of France, and in the land engagements of Bladensburgh and Washington, where he served as aide- de. camp to Admiral Sir George Cockburn. He was afterwards for some time in command of a brig on the coast of Africa, where he captured several slave ships after obstinate engagements and boarding from boats away from his ship. it thrice occurred to him to jump overboard and save the lives of shipmates at sea. Few officers were better known or more highly considered in the navy than the subject cf our remarks. Before his promotion to the rank of commander lie was much sought after as a lieutenant, and was seldom at home many days between leaving a ship pain off and being appointed to another newly put in commission.
