The undertaking embraces several objects of great public utility, Whether viewed separately or in connexion with each other. In the first place, the establishment of a railway by the most di rect route, from the city of Glasgow to the wealthy, populous, and rapidly increasing community in the districts adjoining to Hamil ton, Bothwell, Motherwell, Wishawtown, and the various coal and Iron works in that part of the country ; In the second place, a direct and uninterrupted railway commu. rucation between the city of Glasgow and the inexhaustible fields °f coal and other minerals, lying in the lower valley of the Clyde, as well as those traversed by the Wishaw and Coltness Railway, the Wilsonton Railway, and other communicating lines. The Provisional Committee have taken great pains to ascertain, With accuracy, the returns which may be expected from the traffic on the proposed railway; and after allowing for every contingency, and deducting from the gross receipts 40 per cent. for working ex- Pauses, the results show a net profit on the capital of nearly 9 per cent. per annum, exclusive of the great additional traffic which may oa anticipated from the Caledonian line. The Committee have also ascertained that the works may be Completed within eighteen months after the Act of Parliament *mil have been obtained. The Shares will be 501. each, and it will be a provision of the Act of Incorporation that no subscriber shall be liable for more than the amount of his subscription. A deposit of 10 per cent., or 5/. Per Share, to be paid at the time of allotment ; and Subscribers ahll have to execute the Parliamentary deed on receiving their Scrip. Of the proposed capital, upwards of 3,000 Shares have already L eon taken up by parties locally interested.

Mr. J. B. Asbury, of Enfield, was at eight o'cloek .; called to the chair, and was supported by Mr. Wakley, M.P., Dr. Carpue, Dr. Lamb, Dr. Thompson, Dr. John son, Dr. Lynch, and a large number of medical practi- tioners of considerable eminence. The CHAIRMAN having explained the object of the meeting, r. _ Dr. LYNCH proposed the first resolution, to the effect— " That the refusal of the Council of the College of-. surgeons of England to receive a deputation with as - address most respectfully worded, and signed by up wards of 1,000 members of that College, was a delibe rate insult offered to those members by the Council, L which stands without a parallel in the history of medi cine in this country." The Doctor proceeded at great l y length to denounce the arbitrary power possessed by the r Council of the College of Surgeons under the new char- -* ter recently granted them by Government, by which they were enabled to elect Fellows indiscriminately, , without reference to merit or high and distingui4hed at tainments in physiology and anatomy, but solely through private influence, self-interest, and wealth being exercised , in lieu thereof. At this stage of the proceedings the room became so densely crowded that an adjournment to one of the larger rooms of the hall was put and carried, and took place ac- • .> cordingly. Dr. LYNCH again resumed, and called upon the meet ing in the language of the Times newspaper, to which journal the profession were deeply indebted for it, able advocacy--(Loud cheers)—" to fight the bank them selves and they would be sure to win."—(Cheers.) Mr. Marl. seconded the resolution which, after some few observation s f rom M r. Greville Jones, was put and carried unanimously. Mr. llormEs moved the next resolution— " That the meeting considered, that inasmuch as the authority of the Council was exercised under the pro visions of charters which had been granted by the Crown the commonalty of the College publicly demanded that the names of those members of the Council who deter mined that the deputation should not be received should _ be published for the information of the members of the College, and the medical profession generally." - • Mr. HuTcnisrsoN, of Farringdon-street, seconded the resolution, which was also put and carried nem. con. Several other resolutions passed, admonishing the Council of the College of Surgeons that the power of creating fellows, and thereby conferring the elective franchise on the members, must permanently expire on the 14th instant, and that the members of the College, would hold the Council to be responsible for an illiberal or an invidious exercise of that authority. Dr. Carpue, Mr. Cooper, and other gentlemen having addressed the meeting, Mr. WAKLEY M.P., in answer to loud and repeated calls, came forward, and was received with great ap plause. He said that not only the Council of the College of Surgeons, but Parliament were watching with anxiety the movements of the profession, and he was delighted at the spirit which had manifested itself that evening.-- (Cheers.) Eighteen years ago he had attended one of the largest medical meetings ever held in London, to pe tion that the elective franchise should be granted to the members of the College. Petitions poured in time after time, and at last the Executive Government had thought proper to take a most unusual step by granting to the Council, which had been denounced for the last twenty years, the privilege of exercising that very power whi c h had been refused to the general body. 'the power to grant that franchise was now vested in the Council, but on Saturday next it would cease:`' - trp the present time they had refused to give men equal in talent and ability to themselves, the power to exercise that which was their undoubted right.—(Hear, hear.) Tho con- duct of the Council had placed the profession in a most degrading position before Parliament, for they had re fused, having the power to grant the franchise, to intrust it to the profession. He would ask if they still refused to ineet them as equals in the College of Surgeons, would they degrade themselves by meeting those men elsewhere ?—(Cries of " No, no.") This charter was, in fact, a bill of pains and penalties against the members of the College, for they could never become members of the Council, because they were not fellows, unless they were made such before the 14th of the present month. Mr. Wakley, at much length, and in a most huino rous manner, described the effect of the new Bill intro duced by Sir,James Graham, whom he designated as the " Medicine, or Great Mystery Man," like a similar me dical gentleman brought over here by the loway Indians, to advance quackery, and concluded by proposing a vote of thanks to the Chairman. 1)r. CARPUE seconded the motion, which was car ried with loud acclamations, and the meeting separated at a late hour. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE, AND MIRACULOUS ESCAPE OF THE INMATES,—This morning, between the hours of twelve and one o'clock, an alarming fire broke out in the private dwelling-house belonging to Mrs. Jones, situate No. 11, Bride-terrace, Liverpool-road, Islington. Two gentlemen in passing along the terrace were the first to make the unwelcome discovery, by perceiving smoke issuing out of the parlour windows. An instant alarm was raised, and the inmates were apprised of the great. danger that awaited them. At that time there were for tunately only three persons in the building, consisting of two female domestics and an infant. After considerablo difficulty they were all got out, but not before the flames had gained a great head. By half-past one o'clock, owing to the indefatigable exertions of the firemen, the flames were entirely extinguished. The whsle of the furniture as well as the building itself was consumed. The origin of the outbreak is not known. Mrs. Jones is fortunately partially insured in the Globe Fire-office. The premises, which are the property of Mr. Kaley, of Upper-street, Islington, are also insured. The furniture. in the two adjoining houses is much damaged by water and hasty removal. INUNDATIONS.—Under the heading, "Bois-le-D ue " we have extracted some particulars t ouc hi ng the awful condition of that district of country, Owing to these de structive visitations. From the Constitutionne/of Friday' last we take the following singular details of a similar calamity in another part of Europe :—" Russia has al.m, its share of those inundations which for some weeks past' , have been the cause of so many disasters in different, localities. They write from St. Petersburgh, that in.tba . morning of the 4th of August, by reason of a - violene wind and a pelting shower (une pluie i>attante), the Velika and the Pskova experienced a considerable increase in the volume of their waters ; and the bridges over these two rivers were broken and carried away by the irresistible violencelof the current. The bridge of v e e s r t s p ts os f s r i o b m le the Velika was rapidly forc e d i n a di rect i on towards the lake of Pskoff, and the people hadthoeut fire greatest difficulty in stopping it at a point Knout the city. From thence it is contemplation to tow it up the stream to her former position, by means of a steam-boat belonging to Dorpat, which had arrived ta, few days previously. The Revue de Paris informs us that " the commer-, vial relations of France with Morocco began tmderLouis XIV. Colbert was the first Minister who encouraged French traders established on the coast of Africa, around and at the foot of that barrier which has been called the) bastion of France, to penetrate into the empire of Mo rocco. Their first transactions were mansged by waY of barter. The M oors exc h anged their hide's, ostrich feathers, cattle, &c., against arms, rbwder, and shot. At a later period this commerce toga a more regular course, and continued in it .rao):;,. than a century, with ou t any serious difficulty a ' ;;i nn between the two States. Un der the reir_ ,- , 7,* of Louis XVI., the Emperor, having al lIIMSeIf. f . unwarrantably to confiscat e th e cargo o f a. 7 • rench vessel at Mogadore, M. Cheviers, Consul-Gene ral of France for the Levant, and resident at Constanti nople, received orders to repair in person to the Empe ror, and to make to him the most energetic protesta tions against such an outrage. That gentlenaan's mis sion not having had any sort of success, and the event§ which had supervened in France having withdrawn the o o n f tthhiongosoocaosniotinnuoefdthuentoixl p a e p d e it r i i o o n d l to on E g g s y u p b 4 seouen t, when, attention of the Government f rom the affair, this state amicable re lations were re-established between the two countries. From that time, until 1830, these relations continued al ' ways co r di a l. I n the course of this protracted interval, the several agents for France always remained. each for several. years at his post. This will be evident from the following li s t o f F renc h C on suls-General d'Orn ano continued in this c a pacity from the earliest d a y s o f the fromto to 1829;the present liEmpire down to the year 18 14 ; M.

Independently of these Consular agents, Colonel Delarne and M. de Mornay have discharged, since 1830, the functions of Envoys Extraordinary, ac credited to the Court of Morocco with the object of urg ing their remonstrances to the reigning Emperor on the *widget he had pursued towards France." DEATH OF SIP. PATRICK MAXWELL, BART., OF SPISINGKELL._It is with feelings of the most painful re gret that we record the sudden and melancholy death of Sir Patrick Maxwell, Bart., of Springkell, which took place on Tuesday morning, about nine o'clock. On Monday night Sir Patrick was returning from Spring kell to Knockhill, where he was residing, when, on the road between Kirtlebride and Ecclefechan, either his horse had fallen with him (which we are informed it had done a few days previous), or some other cause not ascer tained, he was thrown on the road, and received a severe injury, which rendered him insensible. He was shortly after found, and carried to the farm-house of Caldwell knowe, when medical aid was procured, and every avail able means had recourse to in order to effect his recovery, but all to no avail, as he gradually sank till next morn - - ing, when he expired.—Dumfries Standard. Several ladies have applied to us for our opinion us to the probability of a war, the reports in the town, from the number of couriers that pass, spreading terror among them for their own safety and that of their children. We beg to assure them that, so soon as we perceive the least indication of even the probability of war, wo shall pub lish a Supplement detailing the grounds upon which our opinion is formed, and cautio n i ng them for the future; but, at present, there is not the slightest appearance o€ the harmony between the two Governments being die tubed.

The present portion of Mr. Hood's domestic novel, entitled " Our Family," opened with a humorous scene of an altercation between two servants respect ing the proper mode of treating their master's infant children. The one is all for the soothing system, the other for compelling the helpless innocents in question to rough it through their nursery career. The quar rel between the two servants is carried on with a dis regard to the proprieties of grammar and com mon-sense exquisitely extravagant and original.

Yesterday the first general meeting of this Railway Company, which has been just established, was held at the London-bridge terminus, at which Marwood Kelly, Esq., took the chair. The Secretary read the report of the Board of Directors, which stated the steps that had been adopted for the formation of the Society, and obtaining the required Parliamentary powers, by which it appeared that the chief delay and obstruction which had been caused in the progress of the formation of the line was owing to the number of shares required by the Act of Parliament not being yet taken up. The Chairman then said, in reference to the present state and prospects of the Company, that - they were unable to proceed with the formation of the line as yet, owing to the length of time occupied by the negotiations with the Duke of Norfolk with respect to the right of crossing the river close by the Shoreham terminus. His Grace had erected a chain-bridge near that spot, and by a clause in the Act he was entitled to charge a toll upon all persons crossing the river within a mile on either aide of his bridge. The Company was consequently compelled to enter into an agreement with his Grace to pay the sum of 42,0001. for the right of running this line direct to the Shoreham station. Mr. James Scott thought this to be a most exorbitant and extravagant sum to demand for the privilege, and afforded another strong proof of the grasping avarice of the aristocracy. The Chair man admitted that the demand was large, but they were compelled by necessity. to accede to it. Mr. Henderson, one of the Directors of the London and Brighton Railway Company, contended that, consi dering the large sum expended by the Noble Duke in the erection of the chain-bridge, the sum demanded was an equitable one. After a lengthened discussion the report was adopted, and the Chairman moved a resolution, to carry into effect a proposition, on the part of the Brighton Company, to take up the unap propriated shares, having at the same time an option to take a lease of the line at 4f per cent. ; which was opposed by Mr. Scott, who moved, as an amendment, "That the consideration of the subject should be post poned for a fortnight." Ultimately, however, he consented to withdraw his amendment, and the original motion was carried unanimously. A resolu tion was next passed, by which the Directors were empowered to adopt such steps as would be most be neficial for the extension of the railway from Chi chester to Portsmouth ; after which a vote of thanks was proposed, and adopted unanimously, to the Direc tors for their exertions in passing the Bill through Parliament, and the meeting separated.

Oh ! sweet are the flowers of early Spring When her budding wreath she weaves ; And bright are the glowing tints that cling To the last of Autumn leaves. And dear to m© was the spring-time once, And bright was the harvest moon ; But mine eye now turns with a kinder glance To the cloudless skies of June. For we met beneath those skies at eve, As the sun in splendour set ; But our souls were dark as the eastern wave, Which the evening rays forget. For Fortune sever'd my love from me, And we wept to part so soon ; But the token she gave for memory Was a blooming rose of June. For that was all of its worshipp'd wealth That the world had given us then ; But, oh ! for the wasted hope and health Of those vanish'd years again And, oh ! for the love so freely given, For life hath no such boon To offer now, as was promised then, By that lovely Rose of June. Long, long was the treasured blossom worn, When its leaves were dead and sere, And far was the frail memorial borne, • Through the storms of many a year. For dear to the depths of memory, As the wanderer's household tune, When heard on his far and weary way, Was that wither'd Rose of June. My task was done, and my hopes were crown'd, And I sought my native shore ; • And my home and my kindred's hearts I found As I left their land of yore. I came in the strength of hope and love— In the pride of manhood's noon ; But I came to plant on her early grave The first bright Rose of June. Oh ! many a spring, with its blossoms bright, O'er my lonely path hath swept, But joyless all, as the morning's light To the eyes that have not slept. Yet the flower in my first affection shrined, Though its beauty perished soon, Still it blooms in the wastes of memory, twined With the lovely Rose of June ! .„.. ..,.. ..

The embellishments to this Magazine are, as usual, excellent ; among them i s a pi c t uresque sylvan scene representing a venerable forest oak stretching its huge branches across a stream, whose waters it throws into deep shadow. There is infinite spirit shown in the execution of this plate. There is some lively dialogue in the "Adventures of a Scamp," but the article is too much spun out. It is amusingly illus trated by Leech, who is no unworthy successor of George Cruikshank. We quote the following sketch of an English fisrmer from a descriptive article en titled " A Seasonable Gossip :" " Let us now glance for a moment at the farmer, the genuine unsophisticated yeoman of the old school—the broad-backed, strong-limbed, and brawny-handed scion of the ancient stock—what a transformation the autumn works in him ! Much as we respect the many traits of excellence peculiar to his character, we must confess, that he is, in general, a dull and ponderous animal, a slow-spoken, heavy-witted saunterer, patiently watchful of the progress of his crops, and punctually attentive to the periodical satisfaction of his appetites; but at hay sell and at harvest, how marvellous the change ! It is a strife between the laverock and himself, which shall be first abroad; and as with him so with his household. The earliest glance shot by the rising sun, through the sparkling casement of his ample kitchen, shines upon every member of the family, old and young, circling a breakfast-table laden with abundance most profuse. Brief space, not idly spent, is thus consumed. Without, a sleek and silken-coated cob, saddled and bridled, awaits the burden of his master's bulk, and, mounting this, the anxious yeoman hastens to the fields. The swarthy reapers own the influence of their master's eye, and sickles glance like lightning-flashes through the yielding corn. Sometimes, alighting from his nag, he wields that implement himself, and with a lower, broader sweep, enjoins a greater thrift of straw, dwell ing exultingly the while (how mournful is the yearly retrocession of the world !) upon the superior mode of reaping and of binding sheaves, which generally ob tained when he was young ; while elder men, who were his rustic tutors in the labours of the field, bury their brown faces in the wheat, and with difficulty suppress a smothered laugh. Presently he is among the busiest of the carters in a neighbouring field, pitching the sheaves, or driving team, or portioning out supplies of beer, or ruminating on the quality and prospective value of his well-housed oats. And so he flits from field to field, busy as the busiest, and manifesting- a volubility of speech and suppleness of limbs peculiar to the occasion, rather than the individual. Dinner supplies him with a timely respite, but the customary nap which used to follow like an epilogue, is now foregone, and afternoon, and even night (if the sky be threatening), find him lingering in the fields with the adhesive pertinacity of the worthy in the old ballad, who Oft fitted the halter, oft traversed the cart, And often took leave, but seem'd loath to depart.' Nor is it merely in the harvest-field and in the home stead that the most delightful characteristics of the sea son are observable. Orchards and garden-grounds a re rich with their abundant fruitage ; and creaking branches heavy with luscious burdens, droop to the very ground, which they so richly chequer with their restless shadows. ADVERTISEMENTS INSERTED in ALL THE THREE PAPERS, Morning Noon, and Night, thereby insuring a TOWN- and COUNTRY CIRCULATION, at ONE CHARGE. ordtheer r t a o b f i a c c a l i n t a g t u e a h g i e s , a m n o d v e a m s s e u n m t s e , d h t e h perfected e g r a fe r c b te i d n d himself in appear ancel of a Dervish, by which means he was enabled to visit in safety all parts of the country. He was employed for some time by Colonel Taylor, the resident at Baghdad, on exploratory missions, one of which was to trace the retreat ,of the ten thousand Greeks. On this occasion, a native damsel was given to him as a spouse, in return for his having cured her of ophthalmia ; but he afterwards exchanged her for a donkey, the latter being more useful in following the footsteps of the Greeks. There was great difficulty in getting him to put the re sult of his researches on paper, and he required constant superintendence—at one moment, the chair was too high; at another, the pen was bad—in fact, the irksomeness of writing was quite inconsistent with his acquired habits of desultoriness. The MS. however exists, and is, with many others, in Colonel Taylor's possession. Mr. J. Bailie Fraser was permitted access to it, with the Colonel's usual liberality ; and he says, in his work on Mesopotamia (p. 304), that, as Mr. Elliot possessed means of obtaining information which fell to the lot of few, the notes which he left are of immense value, more especially as they respect the manners and domestic habits of the people. " Mr. Elliot had, at this time, just returned from a mission, composed of the two Messrs. Lynch and Mr. Staunton, which had been sent to the Arabs, on the Euphrates. They had visited the tribes of Waldiya, Gizeh, Bu Sipahi, and others of the 'Anezeh. Their re ception was generally very favourable, but as they tidm bearers of presents to the different sheikhs, one of the Bedwin tribes, the Bu Lilchi by name, conceived the in telligent project of appropriating the whole to them selves ; and they followed the party for some days with these amiable intentions, which they carried so far, as to wound one of the servants ; but as this was explained away as a playful accident, and Captain Lynch's intimate acquaintance with the character of the people enabled him to exhibit great forbearance on the occasion, a colli sion was avoided, and the sheikh was afterwards anxious to compromise the matter by presents, which were not accepted. " Mr. Elliot still wore the Dervish dress ; and hence he always went by the same of Dervish Ali. His man ners were extremely flighty, and never, for a moment to be depended upon. At one time he was praying and dancing with the villagers, at another, he would get up a quarrel with them. Having, one day, indulged a little, lie became unwell ; upon which, although a dark night, he put a candle into a paper-lantern, which he hung by the bow of his saddle, and took himself off, across the stony and deserted mountain districts, to Aleppo. He was, however, notwithstanding his peculiarities, of great use to the expedition ; and after it broke up, was em ployed by Captain Lynch. His end was melancholy— having perished on the desert, between Damascus and Baghdad." PUBLICATIONS. LAW OF LANDLORD AND TENANT MADE EASY.

The tariff of Sir Robert Peel is beginning to work well for the lower and middle classes. An adver tisement in our yesterday's paper announced that a public sale of hams, pork, ox tongues, smoked beef, family beef, and sausages, with Irish salmon, and undressed turtle, would take place this day, at No. 2, Monument-yard, by Messrs. Keeling and Hunt, the enterprising caterers of those generous viands with which our transatlantic brethren tempt the English appetite. We were tempted, like many of our me tropolitan brethren, to wend our way to the epicurean shades of the "vulgar East," in order to ascertain what "Heaven had in store for us." To the courtesy of "the firm," we are indebted for much informa tion ; but as a mere analysis of it would occupy a greater space than we can possibly afford to give, we must content ourselves by assuring our very good friend, " the public," that its time will not be mis used if it attends at this very important sale.

STRANGE ACCIDENT.-011 Friday last, a woman named Murray, and her two daughters, were going into a wheat field near Ely, to glean, when th e g i r l quarre lli ng about same apples, and loitering behind, the mother turned round and playfully struck one of them on the back with her bag, which . contained her knife for cutting off the ears, and the instrument entered the back of the young woman. It was feared the strings (?) of the heart were cut, and her life was despaired of, but we hoar there is a likelihood of her ultimate recovery. It was truly pitiable to see the distress of the poor woman, who declared that if her child died she would not survive her, —Norfolk Chronick. AINSWORTH'S MAGAZINE. In the present chapters of his "St. James's, or the Court of Queen Anne," the editor introduces us to that notorious French political adventurer the Mar quis de Guiscard, and describes that memorable scene in the Council Chamber—to which Swift has made such frequent allusions in his Journal to Stella— when the Marquis openly attempted the assassination of Harley. The whole scene is wrought up in Mr. Ainsworth's most careful and effective manner. The " Husband Malgre Lui" is a story which evinces descriptive talent of no ordinary character. The " Gipsey's Tragedy" is from the pen of the author of the Mountain Decameron. The scene of the nar rative is laid in South Wales, and the incidents— more particularly the denouement—are impressive, though not devoid of exaggeration, which is the be setting sin of all Mr. Downes's fictions. " Wanted a Governness" details the humiliations and annoyances to which those are subjected whose hard lot it is to earn a livelihood by undertaking the education of children. The " Lady Lucille and her Wedding Brooch" is a lively piece of versification, whose danc ing measure and ingenious rhymes will recal the Ingoldsby Legends to the reader's recollection. " Every Man has his Doctor Johnson" is an essay illustrative of a social truth that all must feel, though not all will acknowledge. There is much sagacity in this observation :—" If there be a tendency to dis parage, there is an equal tendency to admire and exalt, in the humanity that moves about us con tinually. The ordinary world is full of extraordi nary humours. The enemy of idol-worship likes to keep a little pet-god or pocket-divinity of his own. If we must have something to vent our spleen upon, we must also have something to puff and venerate. Hero-worship is everywhere. It is a vital principle in the religion of social life. There is no such thing as a consistent leveller." " John Manesty, the Liverpool Merchant," is here brought to a close. It is a clever tale, but its author, the late Dr. Maginn, does not exhibit to such advantage in it as in those worldly sketches, essays, and criticisms, which for years he was so continually in the habit of contribut ing to the monthly periodicals. " Kate Crosby's Polka Party" is a story scarce one degree removed from common-place. The " Termination of the Transport" is a narrative by Mr. F. Ainsworth, of his recent travels in Syria. lie thus speaks of a re markable character with whom he comes in contact in the neighbourhood of Antioch : " Here we found Mr. Elliot, commonly called Dervish Ali, whose services as an interpreter had been obtained since our arrival in the country, and who had provided two empty houses for our use, one of which was con verted into an hospital, and the other kept for the offi cers, Fitzjames and lien being at the time among the invalids. This Mr. Elliot was a very remarkable cha racter. He had m eceived a good education, was a tole rable classical scholar, and had been a medical student at one of the Lcndon hospitals, but having come to the East, his passion for wandering became so great, as to lead him to sacrifice everything in order to gratify it. In NEW SPORTING MAGAZINE. Among the literary articles in the present Number, the most sensible, if not the most entertaining, are some remarks suggested by the Reports of the Com mittees on Gaming, which seems to be written by one who is thoroughly conversant with the bearings of the subject on which he expatiates. Of the two sporting embellishments, the cleverest is one entitled " September," which represents a sportsman reclining at his ease on a bank, after the fatigue of a day's shooting. UNITED SERVICE MAGAZINE. There are always, at least, one or two amusing articles in this periodical, and on those themes, too, of which the pensive public most like to read — namely, the exploits of our soldiers and sailors during the late wars with France and America. The Num ber before us, in addition to several other papers of an amusing character, contains one, headed " Some Passages in the Life of a Sailor," which is full of stirring incident. BRITISH MAGAZINE. The most generally interesting article in the pre sent Number, is that which is very fitly placed first. It is headed " Some Notices of the Early Colonial Church," and gives details, short, but animated, respecting the labours of the early missionaries in America. In addition to this article, there is a chap ter on religious antiquities, which is worth reading, together with a copious monthly register of eccle siastical information. SPORTING MAGAZINE. We have here two engravings, each, of course, illustrative of a sporting subject—the one represents two men setting out with their guns, and dogs, and ponies, on a shooting excursion to some neighbouring moors ; and the other, an angler fishing for salmon in a broad, shallow, mountain stream, just below a bridge which spans the water, and has a picturesque back-ground of wood and mountain. Both plates are skilfully executed. Among the literary contents, appears a lively article, descriptive of a visit paid by the writer to the Marquis of Waterford's and the Earl of Shannon's hounds. THE THEOLOGIAN. This periodical professes to be a chronicle of ancient and modern Divinity, and universal Christian litera ture, and contains this month a well-digested essay on the " Cabalistic 'Writers," to *ay nothing of some ingenious speculations on " The Fall." FARMER'S MAGAZINE. This is a journal, as its title imports, exclusively devoted to the consideration of subjects con nected with the agricultural interests, and in the Number before us, w•e find, inter alia, some common sense remarks on " Irrigation." EXTRAORDINARY SCENE AT IPSWICH. (Abridged from the Suffolk Chronicle.) EARLY CLOSING.—During the week the town of Ipswich, after eight o'clock in the evening, has been the scene of considerable excitement, in consequence of a large and disorderly crowd of persons assembling opposite the shop of Mr. Bloxsome, in Brook-street, upon the plea that it was kept open after the time agreed upon by the proprietor. It appears that, when the arrangement was made among the drapers, to close their establishments at eight in the summer, Mr. Bloxsome was one of those who signed a paper to adhere to that rule, and he continued to keep the terms imposed until Monday last, when, a few hours before the time of closing, he gave notice of his intention to return to the practice of later hours. This determination soon became known, and whether by instigation, or mere knowledge, a crowd of people, disgraceful in their general behaviour, con gregated outside the premises, and besides disturb ing the neighbourhood, proceeded to throw stones, by which several valuable panes of glass have been much injured. All attempts to soothe the excited feelings of those outside were of no avail, and the police were dispatched to the place to prevent further obstruction. The presence of these authorities, however, did no good beyond repressing mischievous pranks, and though the mayor, town clerk, and other official persons also presented themselves night after night, the crowd has continued to increase. Much sympathy has been evinced by the inhabitants in favour of the assistants, and although they condemn the open annoyance and disturbance, as not being the proper means of obtain ing the object sought, yet most anxiously desire that all tradesmen who had, after proper deliberation, signed the agreement to close at eight o'clock, should continue to keep it. Mr. Bloxsome says he regrets he is obliged to revert to late hours, but he finds his re ceipts fallen off so considerably by the change, that in justice to himself he could not continue filo system without entailing a loss he did not consider himself justified to bear. In the meantime, no increase of custom appears to flow to his e s t a bli s h ment, f or w hile the crowd remain outside no person w ill, of course, attempt to enter the premi ses. Yesterday a large number of special constables were sworn in to keep the peace, and the crowd was less, and less annoyance offered. a i t h P o a u s t s a es '3.
