W. O. and W. Hunt, 10, Whitehall, London; Messrs. Edward and Charles Castleman, Ringwood. This undertaking, comprising a distance of sixty miles in length, has been entered upon as a further continuation of the lines already made and contemplated on the southern coast. But previous to any application to the public for support, the projectors called a public meeting, which was, in the month of May last, held at Southampton, and consisted of the principal nobility, gentry, and landholders of the county of Dorset and the soutb.western part of the county of Hants. At this meeting a Committee of noblemen and gentlemen of the greatest influence in both counties was nc. minated to inquire into the practicability of the undertaking, and they appointed Captain W. S. Moorsora, civil engineer, to survey the country between Southampton and Dorchester, to adopt the best line, and to make an estimate of its cost ; and, under the powers given him, he appointed Mr. Parc to ascertain what traffic was likely to support the line, if made. At a subsequent meeting, held at Dorchester on the 19th July last (which was one of the most numerous and influential meetings ever held in the county of Dorset), the Committee appointed at the former meeting made a report, from which the following is an extract : " Your Committee report, that on this day (the 18th July) Cap. tain Moorsom and Mr. Pare (who had been employed by Captain Moorsom under the powers given him by us, in the last clause of our instructions, for the purpose of accurately examining into the traffic upon the proposed line), attended and presented their re ports. These reports have undergone a thorough examination by us, and your Committee feel justified in laying them before you, and reporting that they are perfectly accurate, and such as will warrant your acting upon them. " Your Committee having duly weighed the statements made to them by Captain Moorsom and Mr. Pare, consider themselves jus tified in reporting to you that there are unusual facilities for con structing a railway from Southampton to Dorchester, by way of Redbridge, Brockenhurst, Burley, Ringwood, Wimborne, Ham worthy, and Wareham ; most convenient for the public in general, as well as for the towns in its locality, and that the same can be made for the sum of 450,0001., including all charges. " We further report that the traffic upon the line is sufficient to lease a clear net profit of net less than Gil. per cent, during the first five years, which Mr. Pare has no doubt will be increascd subsequently. " Your Committee therefore confidently recommended the immediate formation of a Company for carrying out an object so eminently desirable for the county of Dorset and south-western part of the county of Hants. " The friendly assistance and expressions of good-will which Captain Moorsom's surveyors have received in the course of taking up the line, give evidence that a general support may be relied on, as soon as the main features of the undertaking come to be fully uncle: stood. " It is Captain Moorsom's opinion that the line may be opened in twelve months from the time when the possession of the land shall have been obtained." It was then unanimously resolved by the meeting that this Corn. pany should be formed with a capital of 450,0001., in shares of 501. each. Since the above report of the Committee was made a fresh esti mate of the traffic has been rendered necessary by the additional trade which will flow to it out of the lines projected by the Great Western Railway, from Corsham and Taunton to Yeovil, and thence to Dorchester and Weymouth, with a branch to Bridport. These calculations have justified the Provisional Committee in order to provide bridges and land for a double line, in increasing the capital to 500,0001., upon which Mr. Pare estimates a net return of not less than seven per cent. The advantages of coast lines for Government purposes ani for the defence of the country, are too obvious to require comment, and the evident inclination of Parliament shown in the past session, to promote a continuous line of railway along the coast, coupled v.i.h the great local support already shown, and the careful exa. mination into the estimate of expense and traffic prior to the forma. tion of a Company, give to this line the greatest claim to the sup port of the public, as tending to insure both its stability and success. A n arrangement, subject to the sanction of the Board of Trade, has been made for leasing this line to the Great Western Company, that Company guaranteeing 3} per cent. upon the capital, and agreeing to divide the net profits equally with the shareholders in this Company. Arrangements are also in a state of great forwardness with emi nent contractors for the performance of the entire works, at such a sum as to render certain the completion of the undertaking within the amount and time specified. • It is intended to apply to Parliament for an Act in the next ces sion, and the usual clause limiting the liability of Shareholders to the amount of their subscription will be inserted. ....

FOR BILE, INDIGESTION, AND DISORDERS OF THE STOMACH AND LIVER. DR. A. A. HARVEY, of Bath, formerly Sur geon in the East India Company's Eervice, recommends to the Public his Family Pills. The great benefits resulting from an ettiracious 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 temrorary 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, principally from the recommendations of those who have experienced their sa,u tary qualities, is the best proof of their excellence. A few eoses will convince those suff•ring from Indigestion, from whatever cause arising, that their effects are permanent. They remove obstructions of the Bowels; act upon the Kidneys, stimulating the absorbents to carry off those fluids which might otherwise terminate in Dror sy. They have been found of infinite se rvice both in England and during Dr. Harvey's practice in the East Indies, in preventing and curing the Jaundice ; in passing off Gall 'tones, and rtstoring a healthy ac tion to the Liver. L a dies will find them particularly beneficial both before and after their confinement. • These truly excellent Pills are to be procured genuine of Edward', 67, St. Paul's Churchyard, whose name is engravtd on the Govern. merit Stamp.

" The Authors of e The Silent Friend,' seem to be thoroughly conversant with the treatment of a class of complaints which are, we fear, too prevalent in the present day.

Booksellers, and at every Circulating [ADVERTISENSNT.] NEW INVENTIONS IN DRESS AND USEFUL LUXURIES. The forms and varieties of costume, and the multi plicities of elegant articles of personal and household luxury, have attained to such high artistic perfection, that one can hardly, with justice, refuse to the in ventors the merits and honours hitherto exclusively accorded to the professors of what are designated, par excellence, the fine arts. Sculpture, painting, poetry, and music, will not much longer be allowed to monopolise the fame and glory of the fine arts— they must condescend to share them with the other branches of creative genius. At this moment, visit the capital of the Russian empire, admire the fault less form of some fascinating princess, as she passes you on her prancing steed, the chances are you will be told she is indebted for more than half her ele gance to the Messrs. Nicoll, of Regent-street, who are the artificers of her splendid riding-habit. See the Emperor himself in his sable pelisse, looking, as he does, every inch a monarch—you will be in formed that he too has received the embellishments of his outer man from the same London fashioners. To the Prussian metropolis, likewise, Prince William bears with him many samples of the perfect taste of these artists, while the young and handsome Duc de Montpensier is about to astonish the Parisians with novelties in dress derived from the same 3ourco. Talk of poets and painters—here is, indeed, a substantial European reputation. Take another instance. Enter the boudoir of some fair aristocrat ; note the rare collection of superb bijouterie that surrounds you on every side, the glittering albums, the fancifully em bellished writing-desk, the gorgeous inkstands, the matchless vases of Bohemian glass and other crystals, the innumerable nick-nackeries, brilliant and beautiful beyond expression—with each and all of these the name and fame of Messrs. Barry and Son, of the Egyptian Hall, are linked as indissolubly as those of Corregio and Rafraelle with the Magdalene and the Saint Cecilia. Examine the perfumed notes of invi tation and the visiting cards that adorn your drawing room table, and mark the admirably-emblazoned crests of the fair senders engraved and painted thereon; these, too, proclaim the art and skill of these inventors of all that is brilliant in such articles of luxurious fashion. Upon taking up Mrs. Postan's agreeable work, "Facts and Fictions, the other day, we were much amused with a description of the anxiety and impatience evinced by the ladies of Bom bay, on the arrival of each vessel from Europe, to possess themselves of the latest inventions of the cele brated modestes, Mesdames Herbault Nieces, of the Rue Menard, Paris. Not a pelisse, nor a mantelette, nor even a ribbon, would one of them select until she had heard the last fiat pronounced by these oracles of extreme got2t.

One of them, a fine young fellow, about sixteen ." or seventeen years of ag e, be g an to ascend the figure, and after " tugging awe) for some time, he succeeded in getting on the " capstan" which is placed behind the colossal statue of the great naval hero ; from this position it was not very hard to ascend the figure itself, which the lad accomplished, and having looked round him for a moment, he seated himself with the greatest apparent complacency on the head of the figure, where he continued several minutes waving his cap. lie then raised himself and stood on the head of the figure, first on both and then on one foot, in which perilous situation he remained several minutes, whilst the most painful anxiety existed amongst the observers for his safety. flaying descended, his companion. who appeared somewhat his senior in years, and who was dressed in a frock coat, went through a similar evolution ; and then both ascended the figure together, and taking hold of each other's hand, they stood, with one leg (each) for a con siderable time on the granite head of the immortal Nelson. It was blowing a very strong breeze, and it was painful to witness the dangerous position of the youths at this moment ; but they descended without any accident, and on coining into the street they were loudly cheered. They refused to give their names—nor would they say if the feat was done for a wager, which is sup posed to be the ease.—Dublin Freeman.

Sits,—The question of medical reform is one of interest, not merely to the medical profession, but to the public at large. It is of the greatest importance to society that skilful medical aid should be easily acces sible to all classes. Many complaints are made that the proposed measure of Sir James Graham will tend to give greater encouragement to quackery in medicine, and that the excluding of all but registered practi tioners from public offices, is not a sufficient protec tion, inasmuch as the wide field of private practice is left open to the fraud and cunning of daring impos tors. The necessity of restraining unqualified parties from tampering with the health of the community is insisted on. It is suggested that a fitting remedy would be found in a process of summary conviction before a bench of magistrates. But, however plausible such a proceeding may at first appear, a little consideration will show that th e task f putting down quackery by legal enactment is impracticable. Such is the anxiety which every invalid feels to purchase at any cost the blessing of health, that when all remedial agents have been em ployed by skilful hands without avail, as a last re source he is willing to embrace any scheme—to adopt any nostrum which promises some alleviation of his malady. The patient is the dupe of his own credulity ; and hence in every age the province of physic has been overrun with impostors. You may prohibit the sale of patent medicines, un less the composition of the same has been made known to competent authorities, and approved of by them. You may drag every unqualified practitioner into court under whose hands a patient may have died. You may compel every druggist in the kingdom to become a registered member of a college, that he may not be guilty of prescribing in ignorance across the counter. But you cannot stop here. You must have an in quisitor in every family, for unqualified parents will dose their children ; and the family medicine chest, with its store of calomel and jalap, be placed under strict surveillance. Even then it is to be feared some will be found weak enough to try the cold water cure, the hunger and thirst systems, or it may be to resort to the disciples of Mesmer. But happily for the professors of medicine, they have stronger claims to public support than that of possessing the exclusive privilege to practice in these realms. Their high attainments, which have placed them in the foremost rank of scientific men through out Europe, are the best evidence of their fitness for the important trust confided to them. Let the education of medical men be rendered as complete as possible. Give them every facility for acquiring an intimate knowledge of disease in all its varied forms ; submit every candidate to a most searching examination ; and by that means you will induce the public to place that confidence in their skill and superior knowledge, which will prove their best protection against the aggression of igno rant quacks. To incumber the noble science of medicine with penal enactments, is a degrading pro position, which its votaries should not stoop to enter tain for a moment. It cannot suppress the trade in quackery ; it cannot elevate the profession in the eyes of the public.—Yours, truly, A LEECH. York, Oct. 21. A NEW LIFE BOAT. In the last number of the Glasgow Engineers, Magazine a design for an iron life-boat is given. The magazine gives diagrams in plan, elevation, and sec tion of the boat, which is twenty-four feet long, eight feet broad, and three to three-and-a-half feet deep. It weighs about a ton, and has buoyancy of nearly 15,0001b5. It is capable of carrying seventy persons, without sinking. This is its extreme burden, but it can seat forty passengers with ease, and a greater number on emergencies. The estimated cost is GO/. ['he design, we understand, is by Mr. Thomas Cal lum, Leith. After explaining the diagrams, the editor of the magazine says : " There cannot be much doubt that a boat of this construction would be decidedly superior to the wooden boats in cases of accident at sea. Few, in deed, of those at present carried by steam-vessels would be of any positive use were they required to save the lives of passengers and crew in a rough sea. Even when circumstances have been favourable, we have had the melancholy experience of their utter in efficiency. No sooner have they been lowered into the water, than they have been swamped in the un avoidable confusion which almost invariably attends catastrophes at sea, on occasions where the vessel is to be abandoned. A result of this fatal kind could not possibly happen with a boat of the construction proposed ; for, as already stated, although it should be completely filled with water, it would be still capable of sustaining seventy persons, and it might be made to have even greater buoyancy in proportion to its length and breadth, and weight of material. Boats of this description will, indeed, be somewhat more expensive in respect of first cost than those commonly carried, but their manifest superiority and usefulness in cases of emergency ought, undoubtedly, to outweigh all the little pecuniary differences which can possibly be set up in objection. It is a demand of humanity, and one which we hope to see legally enforced among the first conditions in the code of regulations which Parliament may be expected to frame next session upon the report of the Shipwreck Committee." The principle upon which the boats are proposed to be constructed is, that as large a quantity of air should be enclosed in air-tight compartments as will suffice to buoy up the boat itself, and as many per. sons as could go into or cling around it. The sides, ends, and thwarts, are all appropriated to this pur pose ; and, for first-class steamers, the compartments will measure — On the two sides 9B feet. On the two ends l2O feet. And on the thwarts 273 And as each foot of air has a buoyancy in sea water of 61+lbs., it follows that the enclosed spaces would have a buoyancy equal to 17,5401 b., from which has to be deducted the weight of the boat, which is calcu lated at a ton, but say 21 cwt. or 2,3521 b., leaving a free buoyancy of 15,1881 b., or equal to the entire weight of one hundred persons, averaging 1501 b. each, and this although the open spaces were full of water ; but were that the case, with such a burden, the boat would be quite unmanageable; the number, therefore, is stated to be seventy, and that is as many as could possibly be crowded into her. ST. FAITH'S FAIL—At our great and annual fair, on Thursday last, the show of Scots was not so large as last year, but the quality and condition were very supe rior; and all the beasts came up free from the epidemic, doing great credit to the different drovers. The number of buyers present during the day was smaller than has been known for several years, and they all acted with the greatest caution, being determined, if possible, to se cure themselves a good profit for winter grazing. Many of the beasts required not more than two months keep to make them fit for the butchers, but the top figure did not exceed ss. per stone; the more general were 4s. to 4s. 6d. Tho business done was limited, and the prices obtained anything but satisfactory or profitable to the breeders and dealers. There was a great falling off in the short-horn and other horned cattle. Many lots were very inferior, and remained quite unnoticed; those half fat made from 4s. to 4s. 6d. per stone, with great diffi culty to find purchasers. There were about five score Herefords, which exchanged hands, the price for which, like that for numbers of the horned beasts, was terrible. The salesmen and dealers exerted every nerve to obtain more money, but without effect ; and although the day closed so badly, we still hope the worst is over, and sin cerely wish the buyers well paid, and better spirits for the next coming fair. In the horse fair scarcely a good animal could be found, aad middling ones are at a discount, there being no demand for them. There was a little racing, but no money stirring worth mentioning. —Norfolk Chronicle. _ THE STONE IN THE NEW HOUSES OF PARLIA MENT.—The Bolsover quarries, from which the stone for the new Houses of Parliament is procured, and se veral others that have been recently opened in the neighbourhood, contain about twelve feet of workable stone, in numerous bands from eight inches to two feet thick. This stone is of a light yellowish lemon colour. Its chemical composition consists of 51 per cent. of car bonate of lime, 40 per cent. of carbonate of magnesia, and more than 3i per cent. of silica. Its specific gravity is 2.316, or considerably greater than that of limestone. This admirable stone is not expensive, being cheaper than Portland stone, and worked as easily ; but it does not seem to have been much used at a distance from Bolsover, except in slabs for paving. Its qualities of durability are well tested in Southwell Church, Notting hamshire, a building of the tenth century, and in ad mirable condition. In this church the Norman portions, built of stone similar to that of Bolsover Moor, are throughout in a perfect state, and the mouldings and carved enrichments are as sharp as when first executed. —The Builder.

DIABOLICAL ATTEMPT TO BURN THE BARQUE HERMES, OF LIVERPOOL. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY.—Considerable sensation was excited in Liverpool yesterday morning by a ru mour, for which, unfortunately, there was but too much foundation, that an attempt had been made by one of the crew, named Henry Brown, without any conceivable reason, to burn the barque Hermes, Capt. Donough, about nine miles off Holyhead. This fine first-class vessel, 241 tons, the owners of which are Messrs. Tayleur and Co., general merchants, of this town, sailed from Liverpool on Friday last for Buenos Ayres ; and, when the dreadful attempt to destroy her had been made, about six o'clock on the morning of Sunday, she was put a b ou t an d b roug h t b ack to Liverpool, where she arrived on Monday afternoon. Brown, who is a native of Sweden, and an athletic fellow, of middle age and ordinary height, was imme diately given into custody, and brought before Mr. Rushton yesterday for examination. He was dressed in a blue pilot cloth coat, spoke English tolerably well, and was undefended. The first witness examined was a sailor on board the Hermes, of the name of Parry, who said : About half-past six o'clock on Sunday morning last, I saw the prisoner rummaging about the forecastle. He took a box of matches out of one of the chests, and tore a leaf out of a book. He took the leaf out of a book belonging to a seaman named Lamas, and he also took a leaf out of a book belonging to me. lie then went and took the scuttle out, rolled the sheet of paper up, struck a match, and lit it. Im mediately after, he went down into the forefoot, came up again, stood on the edge of the scuttle, and said, "By —, he would either sink her or burn her." He put the scuttle on carefully, and placed the bar over it. About half-past nine o'clock, three hours after, the men went up to reef the topsails, and when they came down there was a smoke in the forecastle. After the ship was put about on the other tack, the smoke came up out of the scuttle. One of the sea men, James Cowan, gave the alarm, and the captain, mate, and second mate went down into the forecastle, where they discovered a fire. The chief reason I did not tell the captain before of what was said and done was because I was unwe ll i n my h ammock. The prisoner, in reply to Mr. Rushton, here said that he was not an Englishman, that he was a Swede, but that he understood the purport of the evidence. Witness, in continu a ti on , o b served that he was an apprentice on board, and that no one saw the prisoner take the match and strike the light but himself. He had had no quarrel with the prisoner, nor had the latter any dispute with anybody on board the ship. The prisoner —Why should I go to your box for matches when I had plenty of my own ? Witness—l don't know. You struck the light against the side of the forecastle and put the box of matches into the chest, from which you had taken them when you got one of them out. James Cowan examined—l am a seaman on board this vessel. The prisoner asked me where was Isaac (another seaman). I belonged to the prisoner's watch, so also did the last witness, who had pains in his legs nearly all the time. About five minutes after I had been in bed in the forecastle I heard the pri soner knocking about. What he was doing I know not. It was about a quarter past six o'clock at the time. I did not hear him say anything except to ask for Isaac. The last witness did not tell me anything, when I awoke. I found the prisoner lying down when I awoke. He was lying either on a chest or in his hammock, but it was so dark that I was unable to see distinctly. The chests are all placed round the forecastle, on their sides. Lamas's chest was on the larboard side of the vessel, right aft, next the bulk head. The last witness lay in a hammock from the top of the forecastle. The prisoner's hammock was slung on the larboard side. The first time I heard of this was about nine o'clock, after we had put the ship about. I had been on deck about an hour at that time. The prisoner was on deck at that time also. The first witness (Parry) was the only person left in the forecastle. I smelt th e fi re w h en I went below at nine o'clock. I was the first man down. I smelt it before anybody told me of it, and I gave the alarm, and brought the captain, mates, and carpenter, to the forecastle. All this time we were looking about the forecastle for the fire. Parry was still in bed. I heard Parry calling the mate once or twice. Parry knew nothing of the fire till I gave the alarm. I said some cotton must be burning, but Parry said it was not cotton. He did not tell me what was burning, nor where it was. He said nothing more. The scuttle was taken off, and a great deal of smoke came out. I looked down to see the blaze, and myself and one or two more went on deck, got some water down, and extinguished it. At breakfast I said it was a strange thing how fire could have got down, to which the prisoner replied that sticks or anything would s t r ik e a light by rubbing against each other. While he and I were talking together, the captain came forward and accused him. This was about half-past nine o'clock. The prisoner said he knew nothing about it, spoke saucily, and asked why the captain should accuse him more than any other man on board. Nicholas Donough examined—l am master of the Hermes. About half-past nine o'clock on Monday morning the mate gave me the alarm of fire, and I went down in the forecastle. On going down I saw the smoke coming up. There was a small scuttle made for the water there, and, on going down, I saw a tar barrel with the bung out, and flame coming out of the bunghole. About six feet further off it there was a bundle of oakum all on fire, which set fire to the forecastle deck. The tar barrel was bunged and quite safe before we left Liverpool. I then called the first witness, and said, that if any one knew of the fire he must be the man, as he was in the forecastle all night. Parry then said, that he saw the prisoner go down the forepeak, take a box of matches out of Lamas's chest, and a sheet of paper out of another, and light the paper and go down into the forepeak. I asked him why he did not tell me about it at once ? to which he replied, that he had no idea that the prisoner was going to set fire to anything, and that that was the reason he neglected to tell me before. lie said, he thought the prisoner must have lost something, and that he wanted the light for the purpose of finding it. It was about ten o'clock when I questioned Parry. John Lamas examined—My chest was about mid ship in the forecastle. I left it open on Saturday night, with the key in it. There were some books in it, five or six. The books are at present on board the ship. There were six boxes of matches in the bottom of the chest. and one box at the top. After the fire the latter box was brought aft to the captain, and I immediately identified it as mine. The captain recalled—l never had any quarrel with the prisoner, and received a good recommendation with him. The prisoner, in reply to the charge, made a long statement, in the course of which he said that Cowan took a leaf out to light his pipe with, and that after the fire a question was asked whether the cook or anybody else had been down with a light. Cowan here observed, that the part of this state ment relative to the cook was true. The question was asked as to whether he had been down with a light. Constable Greases said that, in his opinion, five pounds of oakum had been consumed ; and The captain said a couple of gallons of tar had been burnt. Greaves added, that a match which had not ignited was found on the tar barrel, and also a bit of wood burnt at both ends. The prisoner, at this stage of the proceedings, was ordered to be remanded until the next day.; CORONER'S INQUEST AT THE ETON UNION. WEDNESDAY ' OCT. 23.—This afternoon an inquest was held in the board-room of the Eton Union Work house, at Slough, before Mr. John Charsley, one of the coroners for the county of Bucks, on the body of an illegitimate male child, who died in the workhouse on Friday last, within 24 hours after its birth. The mother, a single woman named Martha Bitch, lived as cook in the service of a gentleman at Slough of the name of Righy, and was removed from that gentle man's house in an extraordinary manner, at the time, as it is stated, she was enduring the pains of labour, at a late hour on Wednesday night, the IGth inst. Shortly after her arrival at the workhouse she mhde a statement to the matron, which was taken down in writing at the time, and of which the following is an exact copy : " Martha Hitch states, that she was dragged out of bed by three or four men,forated by her as a late hourmoftthe, i the night (about 9 o'clock) , and c the wages E dueto n to Union n her,ion inmate tim o e f Workhouse,or il k Y hou t s o e, s b l e ie co l m laS e 'in a g n at amounting to between 31. and 41., a quarter's salary, and bills paid on her mistress's account, still due. She begged of her master to send her home, or to a lodging-house, instead of the workhouse, but her wish was not complied with." In consequence of this statement having been laid before ile the ,1i n b o t a b r of guardians ed board-room rdr o oof t a t t l theire workhouse weekly yemeet ing,st e r day, and of further inquiries which they caused t o b e made into the treat men t o f the mother of the de ceased infant at so critical a period, the board re- , 1 . , cX,f solved that a full investigation of all the circurn• stances should take place, and due notice of the death was forwarded to Mr. Charaley, at Beaconsfield, who caused a jury to be summoned at three o'clock in the afternoon. The first witness examined was Mrs. Caroline Aitken, the matron of the Eton Union, who deposed as fol lows :—Martha Hitch, the mother of the deceased child, was brought to the workhouse in a fly, between nine and ten o'clock on Wednesday night, the 16th inst. She was accompanied by Mr. Bryan, a medical gentleman, the brother of Dr. Bryan, of Slough. A woman named Cripps rode in the fly with the mother. When she arrived she was in labour. She told me that she was taken with the pains of labour on that morning. She was carried up stairs into the lying-in ward by the man who drove the fly. Mr. Bryan said she was in labour. She appeared very ill and was vomiting. I remained with her in the ward during the greater part of that night and until she WPS delivered, which was between six and seven o'clock the following evening. The child was found dead in the bed about two o'clock the next afternoon. Cn being told the child was dead, I went into the ward, and found it under the clothes. The body was then getting cold. I had no suspicion that the mother hrd behaved ill to the child. She said she came from Mr. Rigby's, at Slough, and that she was dragged out of her bed in that gentleman's house by three or four men, and brought to the workhouse. dr. Aitken, the master of the union, examined— At about a quarter past nine o'clock on Wednesday evening, the 16th instant, a gentleman named Bryan came to me, and said a woman was going to be brought here in a fly, who was in labour, and asked me if I would receive her without an order ? I replied that I could receive any person without an order, who was brought to the house in that condi tion. He then went away. In about a quarter of an hour afterwards the fly arrived with the mother of the deceased and Mrs. Cripps, who accompanied her. Mr. Bryan also came at the same time. The woman was carried up stairs into the lying-in ward by the fly man. I have not seen her since. Mr. Bryan told me that evening, in the hall, that she was Mr. Rig hy's servant. Susan Akerman, one of the inmates of the work house, who acts in the capacity of nurse, deposed as follows :—Martha Hitch was brought up stairs to the lying-in ward in the arms of a young man, named William Menton, on Wednesday night. She was very sick, and I thought she was then in labour. She was put into bed directly. Mr. Bryan came with her. Mr. Hammond (the medical officer of the union) ar rived within about an hour afterwards, when Mr. Bryan left. Mr. Bryan, when he came with her, said she must be taken care of, as she was in labour. Mr. Hammond remained with her until she was de- livered, which was not until between six and seven o'clock the following evening. The child did not appear healthy ; the first night I did not think it would live. It took the breast from a woman who had been recently confined in the union, at noon the next day, when it appeared better. Rebecca Moody, another inmate of the workhouse, examined—l was in bed when Martha Hitch was brought into the ward. I immediately got up, in order that she might get into my bed, which was warm. She was vomiting when she was brought up into the room by William Henton. She was de livered about seven o'clock the next evening. The child died at about three o'clock the following after noon. It appeared to be a nice healthy child when born. I gave the child the breast the next day, about eleven o'clock, by desire of the matron. It then ap peared healthy ; I put it into bed by the side of its mother. I laid it down so that I could see its face, and that it could breathe. At three o'clock that afternoon, when the mother asked me to turn her over in bed, I saw that the child (which was lying on its mother's arm, with its face uppermost, so that it could breathe) was dead. It was a little warm. I saw nothing to induce me to suppose that the mother had injured the infant. The child then looked very black. _ _ Mr. Hammond, the surgeon to the union, informed the Coroner and jury that he had just returned from viewing the body of the deceased. A juryman asked if he observed a black mark on the neck of the child ? Mr. Hammond replied, that he observed a slight discolouration on the neck, but that might have been caused by a variety of circumstances. Some of the jury having suggested that a post mortem examination should be made, Mr. Hammond said, in that case he should prefer making it by daylight; but he would suggest that the evidence of Mr. Bryan and Mr. Norblad's as sistant (both of whom had seen the mother before her removal from her master's, Mr. Rigby's) should be taken by the Coroner previously to his own. A juryman stated that when Mr. Norblad's as sistant saw the mother at Mr. Righy's on the morn ing of the day she was brought to the workhouse, she denied that she was in the family way. The CORONER having intimated that he should ad journ the inquiry until Friday, in order that Mr. Bryan, 'William Benton (who drove the fly), Mr. Norblad's assistant, and the mother of the deceased, might be examined, Mr. Hammond said the mother would not be in a fit state, after her recent confinement, to be examined at so early a period. The CORONER observed, that the evidence of the mother would be necessary as regarded the treatment she experienced before her delivery. The inquest was then adjourned to Friday next (to-morrow) for the examination of the witnesses we have named, and others, with the understanding that, if necessary, it should be then further adjourned, in order that the evidence of Martha Hitch might be taken. MISERY AMONG the FLOWERS. (From Punch.) Esther Pierce, another pallid victim of the needle, was charged at Worship-street, with illegal pawning. Yes—famine took her to the prwnbroker with the goodsof a Mr. John ridden, of 62, Bread-street, Cheap. side. Esther Pierce was employed to embroider a silk shawl with flowers—with no less than eighty silken blossoms—for the sum of 6d. ! Well, this was a hard day's work ; bringing something less than a halfpenny an hour. The young woman had neither food nor drink ; and so, with misery and famine at her heart —in the very despair of biting hunger—the took Mr. John Ilalden's property to the pawnbroker. She is urged, tempted—sorely tempted beyond the power of suffering nature to withstand—to commit crime, to make herself a felon, by the miserable wages awarded her by the tradesman of Bread-street, Cheap side. Bread-street!—There is a cruel irony even in the address. There is a society—all honoured be its object—for the relief and conversion of miserable young women, cast like weeds upon the world—for the wretched Magdalen, despised, outraged, degraded. This society calls with a voice of comfort to the defiled creature, and teaches her, in goodly season, modesty, self-re spect. She is snatched from daily, hourly perdition, and restored to the decencies of life. She is no longer an animal, cursed with a soul. All praise be to the institution that works this goodness. Yet, surely we think, the Principle of Wickedness must grin and hug itself at the gatherings of this so ciety—must chuckle, as the devil only chuckles — when the secretary, with grave face and self-compla cent tone, reads the number of victims saved—of brands snatched from the fire—and turned to worthy uses. We say, this same Wickedness must laugh at the small retail humanity of such an institution, when, as in mockery of it, there are thousands and thousands of young women tortured by the injustice of the world, by its mercenary, heartless tasking, into a life of infamy. A feeble philanthropy saves indeed a few wretches; but then there is a Giant Injustice— iron-hearted son of avarice and trade—that drives his crowds into the street ; that makes them in a wild despair of heart—for bread, horrid bread indeed so purchased—bind themselves to agony and shame! How many fall—how many, with heroic serenity of soul, their wounds bleeding inwardly, pine from day to day, and at length wither from the earth, no more accounted of than autumn flies ! And now and then some haggard, white-lipped creature—some famishing Esau r Pierce f or the sake of a meal dares Newgate and the doom of a felon. And so it will :be, until throughout all society it shall be preached—not meekly mouthed, but preached with a terrible, soul smiting energy, that there are holier things than pounds and shillings ; that human souls are in very truth of more account than bank paper. Esther Pierce—our readers wilt escaped prison, the b en evolent pawnbroker up the shawl have liked to chronicle his name) giving rrejoice ( ic w e ' e a s h t o i u t 1.1 without payment—the a passion.

We should like to know the particular eighty flowers worked fur 6d. by Esther Pierce for John Halden. Is it possible that fur such a tradesman any of them could be heart's-ease ? Mr. Malden, in a letter to the Times, says, that " he gives considerably more than sixpence " for such work ; but then, with the diffidence of genuine libe rality, he does not specify how much more. Mr. Haider' also observes, that the wretched story of Esther Pierce is " calculated to do him serious in jury." We do not think it unlikely. In conclusion, however, we would say to all whole- I sale dealers in embroidered shawls, give something more to female toil than sixpence for eighty flowers. Something more, considerate masters! So that whilst your wretched slaves are working flowers, your owu consciences may not—for the after time—be working nettles, Q, -C,
