The DIRECTORS hereby give notice to Members whose Premiums fall due on the sth of April next, that the same must be paid within thirty days from that date. The Premiums are payable yearly, half-yearly, or quarterly, on the sth of January, sth of April, sth of July, and sth of October, either of which several days constitutes the commencement of the year to Members. Persons, therefore, desirous of entering the Society, us Members, on the sth of April next, should appear, or lodge their pro posals, at the Office, on or before that day. So various are the plans now before the public for the Assurance of Life, that it may seem difficult to make choice between them. As, however, all prudent offices make a considerably higher charge in the annual premium than experience has hitherto shown to be necessary, ' but differ in the mode of disposing of the surplus or profit, the fol lowing classification may be made :- Ist. Proprietary Offices, whe:e all the surplus from premiums and other profits is divided, exclusively, amongst the Share or Stockholders. 2d. Offices where the same is divided in various proportions be. tween Share and Stockholders and the Assured. 3d. Offices of a strictly mutual character, where the whole of the profit is equitably distributed amongst the Assured only. The METROPOLITAN, which is of the last class, was established in 1835, and although no paid agents for town or country have at any time been employed, nor any expensive system of advertising resorted to, yet its advantages have been so well appreciated by the public, that the annual premiums already exceed 50,0001. In consequence of the prosperous state of the Society's affairs, the Annual Premiums of Members of Five Years' standing have been re duced Forty-two and a-Half per cent. A plan of the Society, with Tables of Rates, may be obtained, on application, at the Office. RICHARD HEATIIFIELD, Superintendent. Princes-street, Bank, March 19, 1845. SILVER TEA SERVICES.

WATSON, 41 and 42, Barbican, and 16, Norton Folgate, aided by a person of Science in the amalgamation of Metals, has succeeded in bringing to Public Notice the most beautiful Article ever yet offered ; possessing all the richness of Silver in appearance, with all its dura bility and hardness—with its perfect sweetness in use, undergoing, as it does, a Chemical Process, by which, all that is nauseous in mixed Metals is entirely extracted —resisting all Acids—may be cleaned as silver, and is manufactured into every Article for the Table and Sideboard:— Fiddle.

PATENT PARAGON CAMPHIYE LAMPS. The perfection of these Lamps over the Vesta has been happily attained by the invention of two parallel flat rings—a larger and a smaller forming a cone round the margin of the wick, which cause a rapid reverberation of air against the flame—thus coadensing every particle of volatilized vapour, it is free from smoke or smell, having perfect combustion, and in full action, emits a light equal to 16 wax candles. C. Watson's Warehouses, 41 and 42, Barbican, and 16, Norton Folgate, will contain, throughout the season, all the most elegant recherchè and new patterns, comprising Or-molu, China, Glass, and Opal.

No doubt, gentle reader, you've lately heard tell Of the size and the weight of the " York Minster Bell". This bell, which was cast by the famed Messrs. Mears, Is upwards of twelve tons in weight it appears ; And eighteen strong horses are needed to draw The " Monster," whose equal your eye never saw. When we think of this Bell and its number of tons, We cannot help wishing 'twere MOSES and SONS'. For 'tis certainly suited remarkably well To ring for that house which has long " borne the Bell." Its sound, which is doubtless a powerful one, Is just the right thing for E. MOSES and SON. How loud could it speak with its ponderous clapper Of a beautiful " Frock," or a " Vest," or a " Wrapper," With the rest of that choice summer dress, which discloses The taste and the elegant fashion of MOSES. Another fit use might be made of this Bell, By letting it toll competition's sad " knell." For all competition must quickly " expire" Since MOSES and SON have provided attire. No tradesman in Europe can ever excel E. MOSES and SON, who have long " borne the Bell." A new work, entitled " THE LEVIATHAN OF TRADE," with full directions for Self-Measurement, may be had on application, or forwarded post-free. SURANCE COMPANY, lAM-STREET, CITY.

M. Pierre Laureau, historiographer to Charles X. and De puty in the Legislative 'Assembly, has just died at St. An dre, in the 97th year of his age. The price of bread at Paris for the first fortnight of the present month is fixed at 30 centimes the kilogramme. The Mayors of Boulogne, Neuille, Passy, and Auteuil, have just issued notices forbidding all persons to smoke amongst the trees of the Bois de Boulogne. A case of almost unheard-of barbarity was brought before the last Court of Assizes for the Ardeche. A woman was tried and convicted of having murdered four new -born infants entrusted to her at different times to carry to the Foundling Hospital ; for each of which she received 15 f. to remunerate her loss of time and expenses. She was condemned to hard labour for life. The latest excavations made at Pompeii, by M. Vilain XIV., the Belgian Chargé d'Affaires, has been exceedingly interesting. A house was laid open in the quarter of the people. Twenty workmen were employed at the task, and the entrance- room furnished about twenty-five articles, vases, cups, altars, and bronze paterfe. Another room, from which a narrow passage led to the kitchen, contained some large earthernjars. In the kitchen, the tinning of the saucepans was still bright. A large boiler, two jars with handles, light and transparent, objects exceedingly rare in collections, were also found there. The next excavations were to be made in the workshops of sculpture of the town. A letter from Vienna states that the breaking up of the ice on the Danube took place on March 21, without causing much damage. The pieces of ice carried away an arch of a bridge of .the Northern railroad. The waters of the river, which had suddenly risen several feet, had again fallen, re• moving all fear of inundation. mislay AND POLICY?. At Oxford Lord Chief Baron Pollock sentenced John Pring, Edward Gibbon, and John Coles, for violating Catha rine Jones, at St. Weollos, on the 18th December, to trans portation for life. An action for false imprisonment, brought by a journeyman cabinet-maker, named Sanderson, against a master, named Macdonnell, was tried at Liverpool. It appeared that seve ral of the men had struck for wages, and afterwards entered the defendant's workshops, where others were at work, for the purpose, as they stated, of searching for tools. A row ensued, and several of them were given into custody, and brought up before a:magistrate ; among these was the plain tiff. A heavy fine was inflicted on the others, but there was no charge made against the plaintiff. The jury found a ver dict for him, with one farthing damages. At Chester, Mr. Justice Cresswell, sentenced Winterbottom, the Stockport attorney, who had been convicted of forgery at the last assizes, to transportation for life. The notorious Captain Henry Pratt was remanded from the Mansion-house, by the Lord Mayor, on several charges of obtaining money under false pretences. At Guildhall, John Matham, a porter, was finally exa mined, charged with stealing six pieces of merino and other goods, saved from the fire at the premises of Mr. Newton, in Gutter-lane. Mary Ann Chapel, and James Dolan, a tailor, lodging at 22, Old Bailey, in whose premises the goods were temporarily lodged, were charged with receiving the goods, knowing their to be stolen, and were fully committed for trial. Alexander and Charles M'Coy, in the service of Mr. A. Rumsey, wine-merchant, of No. 37, Old Bond-street, were charged with having robbed their employer, and fully com mitted for trial from Marlborough-street. COURT—FASHIONABLE. The French Ambassador entertained Lord Dufferin, Lady Dufferin, and a small party at dinner, on Tuesday evening, at Manchester House. The Duke de Broglie on Wednesday visited the model prison at Pentonville. Dr. Lushington entertained at dinner, on Tuesday evening, in Great George -street, several distinguished French naval officers, come over on business connected with the right of search question. The Duke and Duchess of Sutherland and the Ladies Leveson Gower have arrived at Stafford House from Trent ham, the Noble Duke's seat in Staffordshire. The Duke of Devonshire has returned to town from his villa at Chiswick, where his Grace has been passing the Easter recess. Sir Charles and Lady Wetherell have arrived in town for the season. Viscount and Viscountess Beresford have been entertaining a small family circle at Bedgebury Park during the holidays. Mr. Henry Thomas Hope, her Ladyship's eldest son, is shortly expected to return in the Zephyretta schooner yacht, accom pained by the Hon Captain Cecil Forester, from a cruise in the Mediterranean and the Levant. MISCELLANEOUS. We understand that a requisition is in course of signature to Viscount Holmesdale, to allow himself to be put in nominati n as a candidate for West Kent, to supply the vacancy caused by the elevation of Lord Marsham to the peerage, by the lamented death of the Earl of Romney. An important arrangement has just been completed by the Post- office authorities, with reference to the transmission of letters and newspapers to and from the Channel Islands. The mails are to be despatched thence via Southampton, in stead of as at present by way of Weymouth, and in lieu of two departures and two arrivals weekly, there are to be three of both. The new regulations will come into operation on Saturday, the 26th inst. On Tuesday, at one o'clock, r.m., the mortal remains of the late Right Rev. Bishop Allen were deposited in a vault in the choir of Ely Cathedral, and in front of the altar. On Monday afternoon, at live o'clock, the minor canons, the pri vate friends of the late Bishop, and his Lordship's tradesmen, with their families, were admitted to the chapel, where tlia body lay in state. The coffin was covered with rich purple velvet. The furniture of the coffin was gilt, the mitre form ing a prominent ornament. On the lid of the coffin was a gilt plate, whereon was engraved the name, title, and age of his Lordship ; a little above that was another plate, on which were engraved the arms of the deceased Prelate, and those of the see of Ely. The room was hung with black and lighted with tapers. The ceremonial was imposing and affecting. The clergy of Devizes are at war with their parishioners on the subject of the innovations introduced into the Church service. A meeting was held, a few days since, on the sub ject. It was resolved that, in the event of the rector's de clining to accede to the wishes of the parishioners, an appeal should be made to the Lord Bishop of Salisbury. On Friday last the Lord Mayor gave a splendid entertain ment to the trustees, directors, and other officers of the Lon don Life Association, of which his Lordship has been for many years an active and highly-respected member. The Philharmonic Society of Liverpool gave a concert on Monday night, which attracted an audience of about 1,500 persons. Vieuxtemps, the eminent violinist, was rapturously received ; and the singing of Miss Dolby, Miss E. Birch, Mr. J. Calkin, and Mr. John Parry, elicited the greatest ap plause and several encores. The Dutch steam-ship Batavier arrived at the St. Katha rine's steam-wharf on Wednesday morning, for the first time this season, having been detained in the port of Rotterdam since November last, on account of the Scheldt being frozen over and impassable. She had several head of Dutch horned cattle on board, which were landed immediately, and cleared for the London market. The arrival of the Batavier an nounces the dispersion of the ice on the Continent, and the opening of the German rivers for mercantile traffic, which will be fully appreciated by those to whom the stoppage has been productive of great inconvenience. On Wednesday evening the annual meeting of the South wark Auxiliary to the London City Mission, was held at the Surrey Chapel, Blackfriars- road, the Rev. James Sherman in the chair. The Secretary having read the pro ceedings, the substance of which has been already made pub lic, addresses were delivered by the Rev. Drs. Cumming and Morrison, the Rev. J. Robinson, &c., and the meeting separated. The first of the Ancient Concertrior the present season took place on Wednesday, being under the direction o f the Duke of Cambridge. The concert was conducted by Sir 11. Bishop. The concert was of a very high order, and worthy the illustrious dilletante under whose direction it was given. A new agricultural association has been formed at Good hurst, Kent. of which A. J. B. Hope , Esq., has been appointed president. A meeting of the association took place last week, which was numerously attended. HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO IRELAND. — We have great satisfaction in announcing that the anticipated visit of her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert to the sister island is definitively fixed to take place during the en suing summer. Her Majesty's anxiety to visit this portion of her dominions has for some time past been very generally understood ; and circumstances, to which it is unnecessary more pointedly to refer, appear to render it advisable that the gracious intention should be carried into effect forthwith. The precise day for the departure of the Court for Ireland has been mentioned to us, but, at the present time, it will pro bably be sufficient to announce that her Majesty is expected to leave England, for the Irish capital, early in July. We have further to state, that, in order to allow the attendance of the various Cabinet Ministers upon her Majesty, the business of Parliament will (if at all practicable) be brought to a close this session at a much earlier period than usual.—Post. INCENDIARISAI IN NOTTINGHANI. — Yesterday a Go vernment proclamation was issued throughout the metropolis, offering a reward for tile discovery of the persons Fm , set n wh e o aro N t e to the valuable est ate known as Whigsy Farm, tingharn. The occupier of the property, Mr. Riley, of P a p_ plewick, who is much respected, has himself offered a reward of 1051. MONSTER GUN.—The Liverpool Courier states that a monster gun has just been manufactured by Messrs. Fawcett and Preston, of that town, which is intended to replace the one that burst on board the Princeton American war-steamer, a short time ago, killing the Secretary of State, and wounding several other official personages. - I made of malleable iron, is 12 feet long, and weighs I 1 is 1 tons 3cwt. 2qrs. 111 b.

Passing over the powerful romance, " Re velations of London," by the Editor, we come to an article, entitled " Horace for the Million," which might have passed upon us for an effusion of our lamented friend Maginn, if there were not elsewhere in the volume too much to remind us, that that fund of wit and learning has been exhausted. The following travestie of the grand ode " Integer vi'm," is worthy of Maginn, except for its profane familiarity with the almost divine lyric. That the reader may be as much disposed to pull the wag's ears as we are, let us give his doggrel as it is : The man whose heart and purse are light, Whom adverse fortune can't affright, Needs no police to watch at night llis goods and chattels. Whether he rambles through St. Giles', Or wanders by the two Turnstiles, Ms time away he calmly wiles, And fears no battles. For instance, 'twas but t'other day, When, wavering 'twixt the grave and gay, Thinking of Grisi and the play, I met a beggar. Sturdy he was, as Russian bear, A face that would a judge outswear, And such a varmint head of hair, And bullying swagger. I did but raise my weather eye, Without the echo of a cry— My wig ! to see the fellow fly, In Irish fashion.* You would have laughed, for ten police — Men, warranted to keep the peace, Could not have won me much release, With all their dash on. Then what care I for street or alley, Through all the lanes I fearless sally, And scatheless still, without a pal, I Securely tottle. In Piccadilly, or the Park, I take my morn or ev'ning lark ; And when I'm tired, or it grows dark, I tap my bottle. The " Nelson Dispatches" is a clear and interesting review of the hero's life and thoughts. It is worthy of the subject. But the most novel, and, therefore, to us, the most interesting, paper in the number is Mr. F. Ainsworth's sketch of Zenobia's retreat on the Euphrates. The volume concludes with some grace ful verses to the memory of " Laman Blanchard," which testify that fiction is not even a necessary ele ment even in poetic eulogy. In page 354 will be found a real curiosity of literature—a Greek fable by Kenealy—Englished, enriched, and illustrated by Maginn. These are the verses : On a couch of sweet roses reclining, Fair Venus in slumber was laid, And a robe, of the brightest star-shining, Was thrown, her fair form to o'ershade ; From her neck, as a swan's whitely glowing, To her knee did the mantle extend ; Laugh'd the zephyrs, as over her blowing, They felt the sweet incense ascend. Pan, his haunt in the woods ever keeping, Was wandering, perchance, through the grove, And as Venus alone there lay sleeping, Stepp'd soft to the goddess of love, And he kiss'd her sweet lips, soft and taking ; But what more he'd have ventured to try, We can't tell ; for sweet Venus awaking Put all notions of love-making by. * One leg before the other. BENTLEY'S MISCELLANY. The " Literary Retrospect of the Departed Great" is by far the best article in this number. It is written by one who evidently was well acquainted with the best painters and sculptors of the day, and though, perhaps, a little overcharged and somewhat romantic, gives a real picture of Wilkie, and Lawrence, and Northcote ; and possibly also does justice to Chantrey, but certainly it does not tend to raise him in public estimation. The article, however, chiefly relates to Wilkie, and some of the anecdotes and particulars of his life are so graphic and correct that they cannot fail to be of use to some future biographer. The history of the " Blind Fiddler" is interesting : it is told by the widowed mother of the artist, in her Doric dialect, while she was residing with her son at Kensington, and bears all the marks of truth. In answer to the question whether Sir David had early displayed much talent in drawing : " Aweel,' said she, I mind that he was aye scrawl ing, and scratching, I did na ken what, and he had an idle fashion o' making likenesses and caricat•.)ores like of all the folk as came. And there was an auld blind mon, Willie, the fiddler, just an idle sort of a beggar-mon, that used to come wi' his noise, and set all the women ser vants a jigging wi' his scratching and scraping ; and Davie was ae taking o' this puir bodie into the hoose, and gieing him a drap o' toddy ; and I used to cry shame on the lad for encouraging suc lazy vagabonds about the 'loose. Weel,' pursued the old lady, but ye mann ken he was an ill-favoured, daft sort of a creatur, that puir blind bodie, weel eno' in his way, but not the sort o' folk to be along wi' Davie ; yet the lad was always a-saying to me, " Thither, gie's a bawbie for puir blind Willie." This,' she added with a sigh, Sir, was when we lived at the Manse.' "‘ A-weel, Sir, they told me—it was mony years after the puir blind body was gane hame, Sir—that Davie had painted a grand pictur ; and he wrote me to go to Edin burgh to see it ; and I went, and sure eno' there was puir Old Willie, the very like o' him, his fiddle and a'. I was wud wi' surprise : and there was Davie standing a laughing at me, and saying, Mither, molly's the time that ye ha heard that fid , lle to the toon o' the Camp bells are coming.'" There is also a life of the Rev. Sydney Smith, with a good portrait, taken some thirty years ago, detailing the more remarkable incidents of his life, from the time he wrote his first article for the Edinburgh Review (the life of Parr), in the sixth story of a house in Buccleuch-place, till he ended his career, as Canon of St. Paul's. In the life of this admirable writer and thorough reformer, it is curious to observe how he changed his tone on church reform when the cathedrals of which he was installed a defender were _ _ attacked by Lord John Russell and the Bishop of London. He still however admitted the necessity of reform, but thought the department to which he be longed was the least liable to complaint, and that the Bishops with their princely incomes and gorgeous pageantry should have led the way by cutting down their incomes and patronage to an amount befitting the age of reform. He could not see why every suc cessor of Charles James should have a house in St. James's square, a palace at Fulham, and 10,0001. a year, nor why the domestics of Archbishop Howley should stand with swords and bag wigs round pig and turkey and venison, to defend, as it were, the orthodox gastronome from the fierce Unitarian, the fell Baptist, and all the famished children of dissent. The other articles are much in the usual style, but require no particular notice. COLBURN'S NEW MONTHLY. This is an excellent Number of this popular pe• riodical It opens with a continuation of " Passages in the Lives of Celebrated Statesmen of Europe. The subject of the present paper is Baron Bulow, with sketches of his colleagues in the great confe rences of 1831 and 1840. From these sketches we . extract the following account of C ount Pozze Borgo : " Count Pozzo di Borgo was a still more extraordinary h. man. The deadly feuds of his native . land drove him from Corsica, imbued with all the headlong feel- ings characteristic of his race. For instance, long afterwife of leaving Corsica, he was so s uperstitious . that . thr.! of one of his most hospitable entertainers and h. intimate friends, suspecting his foible, having urged him to come and see a ghost in a back parlour, and having shown on the balcony General Paoli, in the shape of her mad-cap cousin, wrapped in a sheet and bedaubed with flour, he swore she was a witch , and had a deadly aversion to her and family until the last moment of his life. The trials of those eventful times, his adventures in the many lands he traversed in the search of fortune, smoothed the out ward ruggedness of his nature, and consecrated all the fire of his c haracter on diplomacy and ambition. I-lig h e reditary feud against the Buonapartes, likewise, all concentrated on Napoleon,. was the cause of his fortune.: Through Lord . Minto he got recommended to the best diplomatic. service—that of Russia. In this service he acquired . not . only rank, but an immense fortune ; for his to t: .m t the Ll no u fi ti r hs s etxi lattervn viaisii intercession in Paris in favour of the old dynasty cif the ranee by the allies, he r ß a e s o c ' ?, e ll i e v b a e o d d n e s f a ' r .° days a alone o y f s F w o ,e ne al m lu i d l e lio t n o, o a f n fr o i h n e c r s ruling passion which had survived his youth, was de parting at last and yielding its place to the love of gold. Laboriously polite, still did th e h o t, fierce, jealous under• current of his nature, as well as his native shrewdness and experience in strategy, make him a dangerous col league to deal with in diplomacy." It was out of mere hatred to Bonaparte Di Borgo brought about the restoration of 1815. It is curious to trace the restoration, the hundred days, Waterloo, the revolution of 1830, and all its consequences — past, present, and to come—to a private feud between two obscure families in the semi-barbarous island of Corsica. Thus— " Great events from trivial causes spring." " 'What we're doing and what we're coming to" is a a nart quiz upon the existing railway-share mania. It is a lively witty article, and sparkles like a glass of champagne. It is from the pen of Angus B. „ " The Left-hand Glove" ix.-frfide of horror. The c.—Tbjtris-te.-&-he.w-44*-er of trusting to cir cumstantial evidence. A wife is on the point of being condemned condemned t , ) death for the mur der of her husbano the chain of circumstantial evidence is complete . against her, when at length her innocence is made manifest, and she is acquitted--the fact being that het husband had committed suicide. The tale is welt told, and the interest is kept up to the last. Mrs. Trollope continues " The Robertses on their Travels," and gives us several piquant sketches of society at Baden. " A Field Day with the Portuguese" is a lively narrative of An 11(1 7 venture at Vittoria in 1837, during the time thstit General Evans's English legion and the Portugtleie forces under Das Antas were quartered in that city. Lights and Shades in the Life of a Gentleman orp Half-pay, and the Excursion up the Oronooko are both continued in this number. " The Conversations in the National Gallery " are likewise continued. Th?, present conversation contains much valuable cri ticism on the paintings of Leonardo da Vinci, and of Raffaelle, although we think the author scarcely does justice to the merits of Leonardo. Agnes Strickland furnishes one of those delightful tales which she so well knows how to write. Her present production is entitled " Kate Wilson, or Sea-side Wooings." It is a pleasing tale, pleasantly told. The Talleyrand Papers are continued. The present number relates entirely to the reminiscences of Talleyrand, of the state of society in France before the Revolution, when, as M. I. Abbe de Perigord, he was the pet of Madame du Deffund, and the great star of the salons of the witty and accomplished Madame de Brignole. There is also an elaborate review of " Thiers' History of the Consulate and the Empire," and a short notice of the new novel, " Maids of Honour." THE ILLUMINATED MAGAZINE. The conductors of this magazine announce their intention of commencing a new series next month, when the Illuminated will appear as a handsomely bound small octavo volume. This arrangement will be a great improvement, for the present size of the Magazine is exceedingly inconvenient, and rather unsightly. The contents of the present number are of average quality. We extract the following ele gant little poem, from a paper on the coining of the Spring : Soon nature will resume her dormant powers, Immortal as in triumph over death ; The spring will soon be with us. Many flowers The earth will hallow with sweet forms and breath, And thousand bosoms with delight be rife, Those symbols welcoming again to life. They will arise o'er many a wooded hill, In lowly spots 'mid many a pleasant vale— Will gem the brink of many a gurgling rill; And who will deem their charms of slight avail, Wooing us to regard their blossoming, Telling us silent tales of our warm Spring ? • Fond hands will place them in the sick man's room, Their presence gleaming like a ray of light And beauty, peering through its saddened gloom; And with their scent will visions, calm And bright, Lulling in soft delight the sense of pain, Arouse the faintness of the sick ones brain: A flush will overspread his faded cheek, A brightness fill again the sunken eye; And friends will bow to hear him softly speak Of health and vigour, life-renewing, nigh; A blessing will be with them—that they keep Hope from relapsing into weary sleep. And shall we not love flowers, if they but raise Our thoughts a moment from the worldly din That stirs our hearts too deeply in this maze Of toil, ambition, passion, or of sin ? Oh, are they useless? Every flower we see To sight and sense betokens purity. GEORGE CRUIKSHANK'S TABLE-BOOK. George Cruikshank, this month, opens with "A Young Lady's Vision of the London Season," which may be called rather a picture-gallery than a picture. It is full of spirit, piquancy, and meaning—is exqui sitely drawn and beautifully engraved. The two . illustrations to the tale of " Separation" are admirable. The stage countryman is a glorious bit of fun, and the editor, Gilbert A'Beckett, gives the following admirable sketch of his appearance and habits:— " The coquille of the stage countryman is arranged with an eye to the picturesque rather than the practical. He frequently wears a very light sky-blue coat with a waistcoat of the gayest chintz, as if somebody had given him a window curtain, and he had been seized with the heureuse Mee of having a vest made out of it. He has dark blue stockings, which are made of silk if he is the first countryman. but are ordinarily of grey worsted if he is only one of a party of rustics getting in the harvest, or assisting at a village festival. The re mainder is made up of a red wig and a hooked stick, with a small bundle slung across it, and a pair of danc ing pumps, in which he is always prepared to walk to London, for the purpose of righting ' poor sisther Phcebe,' or telling ' the great squire' that he (the stage countryman) has got' feelins like,' and that he the (stage countryman) is as good a ' mon' as he (the squire :) ' thof he (the squire) have gotten a fine coat on his back'—a home truth which sometimes throws the squire into a state of pitiable penitence about something or other which there is no proof of his having been guilty of. " Though the dramatic rustic is vividly alive to any wrong, real or imaginary, inflicted on his own sister, he is often, as far as his own treatment of the fair sex is concerned, little better than a domestic ruffian. He is either contemptibly soft, accepting as a wife some village coquette, who has been declined on account of her flirt ing propensities, by some former lover, or he is brutally hard, refusing to fulfil the vows he has plighted to some unfortunate village girl, and setting the yard dog at her if she persists in pursuing Lim. " The occupations of the stage countryman are usually of the very vaguest character. lie appears to have no thing on earth to do but to avenge his sister for some wrongs not very clearly made out, bully the landlord about ' fearther, who is a most unpunctual old man la the payment of his rent, flirt with village maidens, grow sentimental about poor old ' mither,' and ' dom' the young squire." The illustration to " Alice Brompton" is admirable. The remainder of the illustrations are all thoroughly embued with the true Cruikshankean spirit; while the literary contents of the present number are of a higher character than those of any of its predecessors COLBURA'S UNITED SERVICE MAGAZINE The article of greatest immediate interest to the general reader in the present number is the one entitled " Martin Zurbano." It is a brief but spirited sketch of the career of that celebrated chieftain, whose heredi tary hatred to the French seems to have been the cause of his ruin. Detesting his ferocity and his cruelty, it is impossible not to admire his fierce fidelity to the cause of his benefactor Espartero. His were the virtues and the vices of a semi-savage, and no one who reads the story of his life but must lament his fate. Savage as he was, he was worth a host of such mere self•seckers as Narvaez. Spain has produced many a worse man than Martin Zurbano. The article on the War of Succession in Portugal is also a very interesting article. The other contents of the magazine, although of a more professional character, are well worthy of perusal. THE RAIL WAY REGISTER and RECORD of ENGINEERING and PUBLIC ENTER PRISE, for April. We refer our readers interested in railway , compa nies to some useful and just remarks on the decisions of the Railway Department ( , f the B oard of Trade, i n refereLee to rejected lines. This is a fruitful subject for inquiry, as the rejection injures not only the sub scribers, but the populous districts through which they were intended to pass. This number contains several well executed railway maps. TROTTING MATCH AT LEWISIIAM.—`\edIIBSday morning a trotting race of two n miles in harness came off over th a t distance of road near Lewisham. The matchwas between Mr. Gray's mare a n d Mr. Tomlinson's gallow av, and the race was for 10/. a side. The start having been effected, they went away at good speed, and at the termination of half a mile the galloway had the lead of twenty yards, which he ma intained, and concluded the first mile in three minutes and twenty-five seconds, and was proceeding to the second mile when it broke out to a gallop, and was immediately but was quickly overtaken by the pulled and turned. By this time the mare came up and passed her opponent , gal loway, and when within half a mile of the goarthey were c et o v,o n .thg t w i eo n on u i nt e nh d ltiehl t eeg o s g alNi e v,,li t ,on l aw i ns er easry t i. x i l a l gmT w a - iii i lnn t b eu hun drednpineecrakne,caiot,natinderddpnslteloisc,h rk e nn home,gi natrd the timei broke,nte sa threeadoccupied wfihi ticic four seconds.

Mrs. Iloyte, who had prepared some gruel for the animal, pro ceeded to the cowhouse for the purpose of administering it, when the cow, in an infuriated manner, rushed upon her and tossed her with its horns several times in the air, and then trampled upon her. Her screams attracting the at tention of her husband, Mr. Hoyte repaired to her assist ance, when the animal made a similar attack upon him, tossed him twice, and gored him very severely, and whilst on the ground violently trampled upon, and injured him also in a dreadful manner. A labourer, who happened to be in the yard at the time, perceiving the danger to whic . h himself and Mr. and Mrs. Iloyte were exposed , took up his pitchfork and endeavoured to keep off the animal, but it rushed at him, and would have served him in a similar way, but he struck the prongs of the pitc hfork at its eyes and ears, which induced the animal to retreat until it got into a corner, and then, fixing the prongs of the fork into the animal's neck, lie kept it in that position until assist ance arrived, and it was secured by ropes, and prevented doing further mischief. Mr. and Mrs. Hoyte were then re moved to their residence in a state of p erfect insensibility Each of them had several ribs broken, and they were other wise so considerably injured as to render their condition ex ceedingly dangerous. The injuries were principally caused by the trampling of the animal. FALL IN THE PRICE OF BREAD.—Wedpesclay, the bakers in the borough of Southwark and neighbourhood lowered the price of the 41b. loaf to 4d. and W., and in some places as low as 3 id. At two shops in Blackman street_ the poor assembled. in great numbers, and literally besieged besieged the shops, to purchase i bread at the red cod f 4, their an d the bakers were compelled, n self-defence, to close s h o ps as early as five o'clock, be ock, being unable to satisfy the demand, and to giv e notice that no moreb read supplied till the =msg.
