SOLICITOR—John Bethell, Esq., 78, King William-street, City _ _ SECRETARY (pro tem:)—EoberCSteel, Esq. The necessity of a City Terminus for the large railways on the north side of London (which bring the traffic to the metropolis from the greatest part of England, and from all Wales, Ireland, and Scot land) has been long felt, and has been particularly noticed and re ported upon by the Board of Trade. This railway removes that defect, as by it two City Termini will be provided —one close to the bottom of Moorgate-street, and the other in Farringdon-street—for the Great Western, the London and Birmingham, and the Northern and Eastern; and it will also con nect all these railways with each other. It will commence at the terminus of the Great Western Railway, at lladdington, and proceed across the Edgeware-road, along the bask of Lord's Cricket-ground, across the Avenue-road, under Prim rose-hill, to the London and Birmingham Railway (which it will cress on a level or a viaduct, as may be preferred) ; thence across the Hampstead-road, the Kentish Town-road, through the fields, across Maiden-lane, across the Holloway-road, up to a point near Islington Church, thence curyingionucl. to the Regent's Canal. near to Frog-lifne anit --- Bie - Citrtiodirnerose the canal there, along tho back of Macclesfield-street, crossing the City-road, and pass , ng close by Messrs. Pickford and Co.'s warehouse, thence proceeding to and across Old-street and Chiswell-street, to a spot near to the corner of Fore-street and Little Moorfields, near the bottom of Moorgate-street, where will be ono City Terminus, from which a Branch is proposed to be made, to join the Eastern Counties' Railway Terminus at Shoreditch. From the Regent's Canal, at the City Lock, another Branch of this Line will proceed down the Tottenham Extension Railway to Farringdon-street (the Act for which is now before Parliament), which will be the other City Terminus. All the 'louse Property required to be taken is of comparatively little value, being chiefly small or fourth-rate houses. Very careful surveys have been made of this line. The cost of the present Metropolitan railways will form no criterion in judging of the expense of this, as it differs most materially from them in this circumstance, ♦iz., that instead of the whole length being on arches, there will only be 1 M miles of it on arches or a viaduct, and the rest will be ordinary earth work, cuttings, embankments, bridges, &c. ; and, therefore, it must be admitted by all experienced persons, that the above capital is amply sufficient. It is hardly possible to estimate the enormous traffic, in passengers and goods, that will pass over this railway, for not only will it take the passengers to and from the above-named railways, but also all the local passengers from the neighbourhood of Bayswater, Hyde Park gardens, Oxford-terrace, Edgeware-road, Maida-hill, St. John's-wood, Regent's-park, Camden-town, Hampstead, Kentish-town, Holloway, Highgate, Islington, &c., will be carried by it to Moorgate-stre e t or Farringdon-street ; and, the purpose of collecting such passengers, it is proposed that carriages in connexion with the railway shall ply constantly from the stations to points not exceeding one mile and a half distant, which distance will include all the places above named. The lowest estimate of the traffic shows that a clear profit of 12 per cent. will be realised on the capital; but there is every reason to believe that such estimate is far below what will be the actual receipt. In addition to the traffic, a large revenr.e will be obtained from the ground rents for the lands let off for building sites, which will be un usually large on this line, from its situation, and from the arrange ment of the railway, whereby all the land at the City end will be available for new houses, and will be formed into a new street, from the City-road to Fore-street. The time for conveying passengers to Moorgate-street, from the Great Western Railway, will be Nine Minutes; the London and Bir mingham, Six Minutes ; and other places i t the same proportion. All the goods now removed from the above great railways by carts and waggons, will also be conveyed by this railway to the City, and to Messrs.

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 Service, recommends to the Public his Family Pills. The great benefits resulting from an efficacious household medicine must be manifest to all. This medicine is not put forward as a ewe for every complaint, but in those cases of sudden and temporary ill ness so frequently occurring in families, it will be found of singular service, as its operation is extremely mild, as well as effectual. The large and steadily increasing sale of these Pills, princi pally from the recommendations of those who have expe rienced their salutary qualities, is the best proof of their ex cellence. A few doses will convince those suffering from Indi gestion, from whatever cause arising, that their effects are perma nent. They remove obstructions of the bowels ; act upon the kid neys, stimulating the absorbents to carry off those fluids which might otherwise terminate in Dropsy. They hsve been found of infinite service, both in England and during Dr. Harvey's practice in the East Indies, in preventing and caring the Jaundice ; in passing off Gall Stones and restoring a healthy action to the Liver. Ladies will find them particularly beneficial both before and after their confinement. . _ These truly excellent Pills are to be procured genuine of Edwards, 67, St. Paul's Church-yard, whose name will be engraved on the Go vernment Stamp. Price ls. lid. per box. Sold also by Sanger, lse. oxford-street ; White, 24, Cornhill ; and by most respectable Chemisti. BILLIARDS.

BRITISH AND FOREIGN INSTITUTE. RESOLUTIONS, founded on the REPORT and BALANCEe SHEET read at the General Meeting of the Members of th. BRITISH and FOREIGN INSTITUTE, on Saturday, the 31st of May, and carried unanimously. Right Hon. the EARL of DEVON, in the Chair. Proposed by JAMES SIMPSON, Esq. ; Seconded by Captain MACONOCUIE, R.N. " 1. That the Report and Balance-sheet now read be adopted, and printed for general circulation among the Members; and that the suggestions and recommendations of the Committee, contained in the Report, be approved and carried into execution." Proposed by Lord JAMES STUART, 3f.P. ; seconded by Z. A. JESSELL, Esq. " 2. That the position attained by the Institute, at the close of this, the second year of its existence only, is highly satisfactory, as show ing, that notwithstanding all the difficulties, opposition, and pre judices with which it has had to contend, its present income has been made to cover its actual expenditure : and that the value of its as sets greatly exceeds its liabilities." Proposed by E. W. PENDARVES, Esq.., M.P.; seconded by the Rev. JAMES ST. -..IO:IETN. " 3. That though the Annual Subscriptions to the Institute were originally fixed at too low a scale for the varied advantages and plea sures which it offers to the Members, it is thought best to continue them for the present, without any change, the Council relying on the efforts of the Members generally (now that all doubt of success and stability is removed) to exert themselves in their respective circles, by correcting misapprehensions, and making the real merits and attractions of the Establishment more generally and more accu rately known, so that by constantly increasing numbers, the income may be proportionately improved, without any addition to the exist ing rates, and the funds be thus made adequate to accomplish all the improvements contemplated and desired." Proposed by Sir GEORGE STAUNTON, Bart.; seconded by GEORGE WILBRAHAM, ESQ. " 4. That one of the most effective modes of making extensively known the nature and character of the Literary Proceedings of the Institute, will be to give the widest possible circulation to the First Volume of its transactions, in which these proceedings will be fully and faithfully recorded:—and that as this will be well calculated to convey accurate information into circles where much misapprehension may prevail, it is strongly recommended to the Members generally to promote its circulation accordingly." Proposed by WYNN Exam, Esq., M.P. ; seconded by Brig.-Gen. Sir NORTHERN LUNATIC ASYLUM. London, Colonade Hotel, Charles-street, St. James's-square, sth June, 1845. At a Meeting held on the 20th ultimo, of the Committee appointed by the County of Inverness, for promoting the erection at Inverness of a Lunatic Asylum, for Pauper and other Lunatics of the Northern Counties of Scotland ; We, the undersigned, William 11. Colquhoun, Advocate, Sheriff- Substitute of Inverness-shire, and John Mackenzie, banker in In verness, were appointed a Deputation to solicit Subscriptions in Lon don, in aid of the proposed Asylum. And being now arrived here, in pursuance of our mission, we beg leave to send you some particulars regarding the proposed establish ment, in the hope that you will be pleased to give it the benefit of your support by contribution or otherwise, 'Under that impression, we will do ourselves the honour of waiting on you, in a day or two, to learn your determination ; but should we be so unfortunate as not to have an oprortunity of seeing you personally, we hope you will be kind enough to favour us with your views, to the above address, on or before 12th instant. The primary abject of the projected Institution is the accommoda tion of pauper Idiaties, and of other lunatics In poor circumstances, in the northern counties of Scotland, which comprise an extent of surface equal to one-third of all Scotland, and have a population of about 250,000. Yet, with the exception of a very few cells attached to the infirmary at Inverness, there is not any provision made in all this wide district for the secure confinement or medical treatment of the insane, the poorer classes of whom, amounting in number to up wards of 700, are left in a state of wretched destitution, either burden some to their poor relatives and paralysing their industry, or roam ing about the country in search of a precarious subsistence—pitiable on account of their calamity, often alarming and dangerous to the community from their furious conduct, at once the disgrace, the In jury, and the terror of the country. To abate this crying evil, this heart-sickening and frightful neglect and destitution, it is proposed to erect at Inverness, as the most central and convenient point, an Asylum for pauper lunatics, and for other lunatics in poor circumstances belonging to the northern coun ties. As a subsidiary and ulterior measure, provision will be made for the addition afterwards of apartments for richer classes of patients. The funds for this purpose can only be obtained by the voluntary contributions of such benevolent persons as are interested in the wel fare of the wide district of country referred to, or in the mitigation of human suffering generally. It is estimated that at least 8,0001. will be required to erect the necessary buildings, and to form a fund for the permanent endowment of the Institution. Already considerable progress has been made, principally in the North of Scotland, in pro curing subscriptions ; and hopes are confidently entertained that with Metropolitan, and perhaps Colonial aid, the necessary funds will be obtained to secure this invaluable boon for the poor, and re move one of the worst blots on the humanity of our countrymen. The rules for the government of the Institution will be of course de termined at a general meeting of the Subscribers, and will be sub mitted to them on principles fitted to secure a liberal and efficient system of management, comprehending the chief official funtionaries of the district, but giving to the Subscribers due and ample powers of control and recommendation. We are, respectfully, Your very obedient servants, (Signed) W. H. COLQUHOUN. JOHN MACKENZIE.

The Mineral Waters of Homburg take their rise at the foot of the To the original springs, the reputation of whic h is so pe r fectly estab lished in Germany, that there have lately been j oined fre sh sources, which from the intensity of their mineralisation and the energy of their action in certain morbid cases, have elevate d them to th e first rank among the mineral waters of Germany. an T al h y e sed spr l i ) n y g t s he of ce il le o b m ra b te n d fe rg P a r r o efi ss v o e r inLiebig number. They hav e b een . Notwithstanding th e chfferences which exist between them , th e y may be considered as the same medicament diversely modified. Their mineral principles re main the same, with no other difference thax their quantities and proportions. This affords to the physicians the highly valuable ad vantage of applying to each individual case the peculiar water hest adapted to it, and of modifying the treatment according to the course and progress of the complaint. The internal use of these waters is of constant efficacy, above all when drunk at their source, for then the vivifying air of the moun tains, the diversion of mind by the moving scene, and the abstrac tion from the cares of the world, concur in assisting the action of the medicinal beverage. The waters of Homburg are stimulant, tonic, alterative, and aperient. They are suited to all cases requiring an amelioration of the disordered state of the stomach and other intestines, by giving a peculiar stimulus to these organs when necessary to excite the abdo minal circulation, to assist the secretory processes, and to regularise nutrition and assimilation. Their great success has been recognised in enlargements of the liver, in affections of the spleen, in hypo chondria, jaundice, the hemorrhoids, and obstinate constipation. In gout and all affections produced by derangement of the digestive functions, most happy results are derived from them. During the four years which have elapsed since these springs first obtained their merited celebrity, the city o f H om b urgh has greatly improyed. A new towh h as g rown u p by the side of the old, and new hotels and private houses afford to visitors all the comforts re quired by invalids, and luxuries to be found in the most favourite watering places.

Proposed by CHARLES COCHRANE, ESQ. ; seconded by HENRY TUDOR, ESQ . " 6. That the annual subscription for ladies, when elected members of the Institute, and entitled to all its privileges, shall bo only the half of that paid by gentlemen of each class : and that families of four individaals shall be admitted to all the advantages of member ship at the rate of two single members only."

Proposed by the Rev. SEPTIMUS RAMSAT, 31. A. ; seconded by DR. CAMPS. "9. That the thanks of this meeting are also especially due to Mr. Buckingham, for the zeal, perseverance, and courtesy, with which he has devoted himself, during the past year, to the superintendence and direction of the affairs of the Institute, and to the efficiency and economy with which its funds have been administered, as well as for the liberality with which he has expended his own private means to increase its attractions. And they entertain a firm hope that the present absence of all remuneration to him for these services of the past year, will be amply compensated in future ones, by the in creased number of Friends which each Member will feel it his duty as far as practicable, to add to the Institute • so as by this, the best and most unexceptionable of all means, to increase the stability and popularity of the Establishment, and thus promote and consolidate the interests of all who are concerned in its permanent welfare."

That it would be unjust, unreasonable, and injurious to the best interests of the Institute, to permit the Resident Director's ser vices for the past year to go wholly unrequited ; and as no surplus exists out of the Annual Subscription Fund, to stand in lieu of salary, it is resolved that the Members be invited to contribute a Guinea each for the purpose of providing such compensation, as a just testi monial of their satisfaction with his management, and that the fol lowing gentlemen do form a Committee, with power to add to their numbers, for the purpose of carrying this resolution into effect ; and that the Committee be at the same time instructed to inquire whe ther any reductions can be made in the expenditure, WI hout impair ing the efficiency of the Establishment."

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

You cann2t plead ignorance London, June 6, 1845 A lITGEIST, COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. Covent garden Theatre was opened last evening for dramatic, or rather for operatic performances, under the direction of Monsieur Laurent. It appears that tha Grand Opera House at Brussels is undergoing repairs, and during the time that it is closed, the whole. operatic company, orchestra, chorus singers, corps de ballet, and all have been engaged to give twenty representations of the most popular French operas at Covent-garden. Messrs. Charles Hanssens and Van Caneghem are the managers of the company, Mr. Charles Hanssens offi ciating also as leader of the orchestra. The opera chosen for the opening was Rossini's Guillaume Tell, and the following was the cast:— Guillaume Tell Mons. Laurent Quilleveri. Arnold Gesler Rodolph Walter Furst Ruodi Mons. Descambon. Melcthal Lent hold G emmy (Tell's Sou) Made. Guichard. Mathilde „ Made. Laborde. Ld wrige In noticing the fact, some days since, that this theatre was about to be opened by a Belgian operatic c,mpany, we ventured to express a hope that, as the Germans had given us Staudigl, s r the Br igians might introduce to u; some accomplished a•ti 41.3, with whose merits we had not been previously acquainted. Our hopes have beta more than realised—that a. titre is M. Laborde, a tenor in whose presence Duprcz may tremble for his supre macy. It In as als Id a:tempt, on the part of M. La borde, to appear in the part of Arnold, while the recol lection of Duprez was fresh in the minds of all lovers of opera ; the attempt, however, was as successful as it was bold, and if we are not greatly mistaken, the ap plause of last night is but a small foretaste of the harvest of fame which M. Laborde is destined to reap in this country. His voice is a tenore di forza— clear, rich, flexible—of great power and of great compass ; and his falsetto notes, to which he very rarely has recourse, are introduced with great taste. In the management of his falsetto, he reminded us occasionally of Rubini, although the quality of his voice approaches nearer to that of Duprez. Ills opening scene, Le mien dit il-jamais, was given with great effect, and in the duet which follows with Tell nothing could exceed the pathos which he threw into the beautitul passage, " Ali Mathilde." The aueience at once perceived at they had a true artist before them, and were rapturous in their applause. The seecaulset introduces us to Madame Laborde,__thextima - donna of the company,- - who sustained the character 4 -19231101 1. 1 . Mathilde. Her voice is a high soprano of considerable power, and is well managed. She gave the beautiful romance, " Sombre foret," with exquisite expr ess i on ; and the duet with Arnold which follows, "Oui, yeas l'arrach, z >i son nine," was delightfully given by Monsieur and Madame Laborde. The ensemble at the conclusion of the duet was a perfect gem. The trio between Arnold, Tell, and Walter Furst, towards the conclusion of this act, was very finely given by Laborde, Laurent, Quilleveri, and Zelger. The two latter gentlemen pos sess good bass voices, and are accomplished musicians, and supported Laborde admirably ; indeed we have never heard this superb trio more effectively given. Laborde's great triumph, however, was the last scene of the opera. The far-famed recitative, "Ne m' aban donnez point," and the air, " Asile hereditaire," were given with most exquisite taste and feeling. We con sider that in power, pathos, and expression, M. Laborde in this exquisite air quite equals Duprez ; while in the magnificent bravura which follows, " Amis, Arnie, secondez ma vengeance," he was much superior in power to Duprez—at least to Duprez as he is known to the English public—and quite equal to what Duprez was, some eight years back, when he drove the Parisian dilettanti mad with his famous "Ut en poitrine." The fact is, M. Laborde is the legitimate successor of Duprez, and the day is not far distant when he will be known and appreciated on every operatic stage in Europe. The chorus singers are admirable, and the concerted music throughout was given with great accuracy. There was no harsh jarring on the ear. The orchestra too is excellent. We never heard the fine overture to this opera more carefully played. Guillaume Tell was preceded by Adolphe Adams' one act opera, Le Chalet (a piece familiar to English play goers, as the Swiss Cottage, under which title it was per formed'at the Lyceum last season), in which M. Couch re as the gawky lover (Keeley's character), and Madame Guichard, as the village coquette, kept the audience in a roar, by the humorous manner in which they sus tained their respective parts. At the -conclusion of Guillaume Tell, M. Laborde was loudly called fur, and appeared, leading in Madame Laborde. They were both loudly applauded. 'ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION. The school for instruction of naval officers and others in the economy and uses of steam-engines at the above Institution is, we arc glad to find, in a flourishing condition. It is, indeed, a sign of the times, that so many of our distinguished naval men should devote their leisure moments to the study of steam navigation, and that the Admiralty should insist upon such a step prior to granting an appointment to a steamer. We find also, that the spread of railway locomotion has aroused among all classes a desire to understand the powers of the steam engine, and, therefore, not only are the private courses of instruction given by Professor Ryan numer ously attended, but also his public lectures on the steam .e , gine:are crowded by ladies and gentlemen, who anxiously listen to his popular explanatiois cf its won drous powers. It is not generally kn iwn, that Dr. Ryan's courses include practical instruction on the Croydon Railway and also on the river. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. ASCOT HEATH RACES.

TRINITY TERM BANQUETS.—Trinity Term, in eC cordance with ancient usage, being that in the course of which the benchers of the inns of Court assemble in their respective halls to celebrate the long.established custom of observing their " Great Grand Day," as it is called, the different inns of Court have this week given splendid dinners, which have been attended by the equity and common law judges, and other eminent individuals con. netted with the profession. The Inner Temple meeting took place on Tuesday, Lincoln's-inn on Wednesday, and the Middle Temple yesterday. Amongst the guests at the latter there were the Lord Chief Baron, Mr. Justice Coleridge, Mr. Justice Ede, and the Rev. Dr. Robinson, the Master of the Temple. THE NEW MODEL l'ElsoN. — Aninquest was held on Monday before at the New Model Prison, in Pen leprisoner who died from natural causes, tonyil, on t during which several facts we re elicited respecting the manage. e body Mr. of Wakley,a ment of the prison. Some of the prisoners were examined in the all agreed in speaking well of almtheeirnee of thetreatment.eTheerOnse of and th them ey said he had been in the prison nearly two years, and he did not know the names of any of the persons there, nor was he aware that any one had di e d th ere lately. The silent system has been relaxed in the case s o f i nvalids. The s ystem of ventilating and warming the cells was s t a t e d to be very good, and Mr. Wakley took occasion to contrast it with that of the House of Commons, where, he said, th e temperature is kept so high, that it is sowing the seeds of bronchial disease, and the Mem. bers Lust seriously suffer from it. LONGEVITY IN THE WEST HIGHLANDS.—A few days ago Duncan M'Calman died at Dell, in the parish of Kil many, at the advanced age of 109 years. He retained all his faculties to the last, and was only ill for a few days. He walked six miles across a rough moor last summer, and could take his glass of whisky with any young man of the parish. In the village of Bowmorc, Alexander Macdonald died last March, aged 95—in the same month, Margaret M'Vicar died in the parish of Kilchoman, aged 98. Donald Orr died at Stravnish, in the parish of Kildalton, last February, at the still more extraordinary age of I 1 1 years—this old patriarch bad never been out of the Island of Islay during his long life. Three years ago, Thomas Spalding died in the village of Bowmore, at the age of 108 years; he was hale and healthy to the last hour of his life. In this same villaget here is now alive John Brown, a very handsome old man, who is i❑ his 104th year. There are many others of great age in the island, though John Brown is now believed to be the oldest li v ing—this speaks much for the salubrity of the western islands. Inverness Courier. - _ ----- BARE VERSUS MAN.—DOUBLE PUNBLIMENT.-- some months ago, John Grantham, of Gawcott, was committed to Buckingham borough gaol, for non-payment of a fine of W. 16s. inflicted on him, on the information of one of the Duke of Buckingham's keepers, for snaring a hare. After a fortnight's im prisonment the fine was paid, and the man liberated. But game. keeping JUSTICE had not done with John Grantham. He was sur charged to the amount of 81. Is. Bd. for killing game, —to wit, the same identical hare, without a license, and his goods not realizing this amount, sent back to the borough gaol, there to remain during her Majesty's pleasure,—Liverpool Mercury. ESCAPE or A. CONVICT. —On Monday morning four convicts were removed from the Lewes House of Correction in custody of two turnkeys, by way of the London and Brighton Railway. On arriving at the London-bridge terminus three of them asked permission to retire for a few minutes, in order to which, one of them was unhandcuffed from his companion and left in charge of one turnkey, while the other three were absent with the other turnkey. The convict thus left behind was named Biddle. He had, when a youth, enlisted in the 12th Lancers, from which he deserted, and on being afterwards captured and em barked for Ireland to join the regiment, when the vessel was nearly two miles from shore, he jumped overboard and swam back. 1$ months ago be was tried at Lewes, and sentenced to 12 months' hard labour, for obtaining goods under false pretences. The im. prisonment had Just expired, when he called on his mother, who was acting as monthly nurse to the lady of the Rev. Mr. Morgan, of Piecomb, and carried off four of the Rev. Gentleman's spoons ; for this offence he was tried at the East Sussex quarter sessions a fortnight ago, and sentenced to seven years' transportation. During his stay in Lewes gaol, we understand that he has feigned illness, and in consequence of this, it appears, the turnkey might have been rather less careful of him than he would otherwise have been. The turnkey and hims elf that o n again tates looking that he round d t u t r h n . ed pri h s i o s ne h r eal s b but n fe e r a second, . the He had seized the opportunity of mixing wit h cro wd, and effected his escape. The handcuffs were still on one of his wrists when he slipped off. • 2, 60 a L 4 4 ^ 4 ) 6 ° 20 ° 6u at full a° d. 00' 4 6 4 10 3 i i 1 our' Id fg g a it. s 6J; CO: , 01 13 6jj o r• od st go de- Y et eti c)11
