fribirlY Etittion SUN OFFICE, Seven o'Cloch. PRICES OF SHARES IN CANALS, RAILWAYS, BANKS, ASSURANCE AND OTHER COMPANIES' STOCK. LONDON, FRIDAY, AUG. 23. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM TUE EVENING PAPERS OY THIS DAY. GLOBE.—We presume our readers have not for gotten Lord Lyndhurst's triumph over Lord Campbell in the House of Lords, on the occasion of the latter Nobleman's proposing a measure for shortening con veyances of land. On Lord Campbell's exhibiting a form of conveyance on the palm of his hand, to show what he could do under his Act, Lord Lyndhurst im mediately thrust forward another specimen, to show what he could do without any Act at all ! To be sure, by Lord Lyndhurst's plan the purchaser was to be eon tent to take his land without the usual accompani ments of light and right of way, and such little conveni ences which are—mistakenly, of course, but still com monly—supposed to help somewhat towards the com fortable enjoyment of the property ; while by Lord Campbell's draft, all these, with no greater length, were carefully, and even strictly, preserved. And if we remember rightly, there was one other difference • so trifling as, perhaps, to be scarcely worth recalling; namely, that under Lord Campbell's plan, if the purchaser did chance to find himself in a hobble, he was not under the neces sity of lodging the property in Chancery, with the hope that in about half a dozen years' time it might, perhaps, be restored to him. Under Lord Camp bell's plan this was not necessary. The purchaser was to have a complete chain of covenants for title secured to him by Act of Parliament ; and if any of them were infringed, he had a cheap and speedy remedy by the old common law of the realm. But Lord Lyndhurst interposed ; and the House of Peers threw out Lord Campbell's mea sure. The public had been taught latterly to expect something in the way of cheap ana concise convey ancing; and we grumbled a little at being disap pointed, without any apparent cause. But still the thing seemed inevitable ; and we resigned our selves to it, with the best good temper we could summon up at so short a notice. But just as we had fairly given up all hopes of seeing our title-deeds reduced to a reasonable length, such as we might con over of an evening for an hour's amusement, Lord Lyndhurst hurls an Act at us, without note or comment; and tells us we may go and simplify our conveyances and make the best of it ! The boon was unexpected; and, as we were half asleep when it came, we were almost inclined to grutn ble at its arrival. But still, there it was. So we deter mined to do as we were bid, and make the most of it. It is not exactly what Lord Campbell proposed. Those long " general words," and the long covenants for title, are just as necessary as ever. But we are bound in common honesty to admit that it confers benefits which we really believe Lord Campbell did not think of. In the first place—we love to begin at the beginning. Most of our readers, we hope, are the owners of title-deeds; and most of them, we dare say, have had occasion, at one time or other, to look at their contents. They most probably observed the waving boundary line, which the professors of our jurisprudence — keenly alive, no doubt, to the deliciw of Hogarth's line of beauty, which it so closely resembles ; and ever solicitous, it must be admitted, to blend the utile cum dulci—have placed at the head of most of our parchments. Perhaps they wondered what it was for. Perhaps they did not think at all about it. At all events, they have Lord Lyndhurst's free per mission to snip it away, at once and for ever. We now proceed to unfold higher mysteries • which none but the initiated, we fear, will be Ale fully to understand. Such of our readers, however, as have attained to years of discretion may remember that, in what Cleopatra calls their " salad days," they were sorely puzzled to know why two deeds should be necessary to convey one property. They were, perhaps, told that, owing to certain technical reasons, which they could not understand at all, the purchaser was obliged to take a lease of the land for one year before he could ac quire it out and out. He was further informed, probably, that the method was invented by a great lawyer, and not in other respects unknown to fame— by no less a man, to wit, than Sir Orlando Bridge man. And, what is more probable than all the rest is, that when he was told all this, he knew nearly as much about the matter as he did before. Three years ago, however, a learned conveyancer, anxious to simplify the transfer of property to common under standing—he could have no other possible motive for what he did—drew an Act, and after some little trouble passed it through both Houses of Parliament, to make one deed sufficient for all time to come for one property. To conciliate the " Stamps and Taxes," he enacted that the one deed should pay duty for two; and, to gratify a very pardonable vanity, con sidering the consideration he had evinced for the wishes and feelings of the public, he enacted that a clause should be inserted in future conveyances, stat ing that they were made in pursuance of Stewart's Act! This clause, gentle reader, has Lord Lyndhurst— c.'ntriving, we fear, and unlawfully, wickedly, and malieit;:3slY intending to injure and prejudice the skid J. S., and i",;" deprive him of his good name, fame, credit, and reputtition— enacted shall be used no more. We come to the end. If any of our readers ever happened to read through to the end of one of their deeds, they noticed a clause of tv;7) lines and a half (neither more nor less), providing that the trustees should have power to give valid discharges for such moneys as might come to their hands. This clause will henceforth have to be expunged. Of course, we can have no manner of doubt that Lord Lyndhurst's Act will do just as good service as that clause; but we must own we are surprised that the three estates of the realm—who, to be sure, make Acts of Parliament now-a-days, like Mr. Wakley's poetry, by the mile — should have given their solemn sanction to an Act which, by way of simplifying the transfer of pro perty, cuts off a crooked line from the top of a deed, three more straight lines out of the middle, and two and a half at the end ! HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO IRELAND.—We learn from a quarter on which we place reliance—without, however, undertaking to vouch for the fact—that the long-looked-for visit of her Majesty to Ireland will cer tainly take place during the present autumn. Our inform ant states that the first week in October is actually named for this gratifying excursion. We are also assured that, in the event of the judgment against O'Connell and the other State prisoners being affirmed by the House of Lords, an act of Royal grace in their favour is contem plated, and that the remaining term of their imprison ment will be remitted, Such an act would be as ap propriate to the occasion as it would be conciliatory in its influence upon the Irish people, and would cer tainly conduce to the public tranquillity. We under stand that, should the weather prove favourable, her Majesty is desirous of taking a short aquatic excursion in the early part of September. The arrival of the King of the French is expected about the 17th, and will extend to a week or ten days ; during which every means of welcoming and entertaining his Majesty, on a scale suited to his dignity, and the magnificence and state of our beloved Sovereign, will be employed. On the departure of the French King, the preparations for the royal visit to Ireland will commence. The royal yacht has been ordered to be in immediate readiness. E vening Paper. We understand that the Judges are expected to assemble on Monday to consider their opinions in the case of the Queen v. O'Connell and others. The judg ment, as has already been announced, will be delivered on the Monday following, September 2. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of Aug. 23.) SUGAR.—The market has presented a firmer appear ance for all descriptions of Sugar subject to the 24s duty and 5 per cent. this week. To-day there was no public sale of Colonial Sugar of any sort. For Westlndia pre vious rates were sustained, and a fair demand existed ; bright yellow sorts are still the most in request. Th. total purchases for the week are 1,750 hhds and trcs, the market closing with a firm appearance. REFINED.—There has been a much better demand for refined goods for home consumption this week, the re finers are not so eager to sell, and large parcels have been disposed of, but at no improvement in prices. Brown Lumps have been selling at 72s Gd to 735, Standard Lumps 73s 6d to 745, Tittlers 73s to 80s, Ham burgh Loaves 73s 6d to 81s, double ditto 82s to 925, and wet Lumps 70s to 73s per cwt. To-day several parcels of refined goods were taken by the home trade; brown Lumps at 73s to 73s Gd, and standard 74s to 74s 6d per cwt. For crushed Sugar made under bond there continues to be a good demand, and it is difficult to purchase first sort under 27s 6d per cwt. Of Loaves large parcels have been disposed of at rather higher rates. FORElGN.—Previous rates have been fully supported for yellow Havannah Sugar, the demand has been good, and the private purchases are 1,300 chests good quality for refining under bond here at 21s, and 600 chests for exportation at 19s to 22s for middling to fine. Brown Brazil is much wanted, and prices remain firm ; the private transactions are 200 chests Bahia at 18s 3d to 18s 6d per cwt—in white rather more business trans acted. MAIIRITIUS.—Importers are less inclined to realise, and have supplied the market sparingly this week ; more inclination has been shown to purchase, and privately several parcels have been disposed of—the better .quali ties are the most wanted, but of such the supply is still small. This afternoon there was no public sale, but pri vately some parcels were sold at very full rates ; the quantity remaining in first hands is greatly reduced. EAST INDlA.—There has been no public sale of Foreign East India Sugar this week. Holders still manifest firmness, and nothing is pressing for sale privately. The currency has been only for small parcels, at the previous ; there are, however, purchasers of Dlanilla and Java to a large extent at a slight reduction in prices. To-day at public sale 290 baskets of Java Sugar were sold at the full value, middling foxey yellow at 17s 6d eg to wr grey, s , 109 1o fs low Id, i e tt l oe l o 2a w on 7 sa s turd t o o ngg l o 7 oy s de 1 6 wl do white Bengalsahed 6 t 2 s l s6ud s g a 6d , d tor r2s2es several e u pr n earl privatelyod business s a i t n f e u s l s l r h a a t s e s. parcels MOLASSES.—Awer were sold go been transacted in West India, but at low rates. The purchases amount to 300 puns St. Vincent at 225, Antigua, 24s 6d, St Kitt's 20s to 22s per cwt. The demand is still principally for the outports. East India Molasses could only be dis posed of but upon low terms. COCOA. —Foreign is held with firmness, and the de inwad is on the increase ; some parcels have been dis posed of privately at full rates, none has again been offered at auction ; West India has met with increased attention, at stiffer rates. Grenada sold at 44s to 44s 6d for fine red, 43s to 43s 6d for good, 42s Gd for middling rather dark and 31s to 43s 6d per cwt for sea damaged ; Trinidad fetched 46s 6d for good bold red 45s to 45s 6d for good middling gray 36s to 38s for old wormy, and 28s to 34s for very inferior ditto. RICE-Bengal has met with less attention this week ; Importers are more inclined to realise, and have sub mitted to a reduction on previous rates of 3d per cwt ; by private contract, the operations are upon a small scale, middling white at lOs 6d to 1 ls, good middling bold Ils to lls 6d, good lls 6d, sea-damaged 5s to 11 s, and Indigo damaged lls. The market has become viet for Foreign East India Rice, and at a public sale Madras declined 3d to Gd per cwt ; low to good yellow sellow selling at 8s to Gs Gd, and small pile of middling white lOs 6d per cwt. Carolina at 21s to 265, and Patna at 14s to 18s per cwt. COCIIINFAL has brought full rates, and a fair busi ness has been transacted by private contract. None has been offered at auction, but 40 serons Honduras are declared for Tuesday. COFFEE.-With West India Coffee the market has been better supplied this week, still the trade have pur chased sparingly, and the limited business transacted has been at a reduction on former rates of 2s per cwt. This afternoon Rio partly sold at 30s for ord rather mixed, and 28s for sea damaged, being the full value ; Savanilla fetched 28s, and triage 20s 6d ; Ceylon mid coloury B.Y. went at 81s to 85s 6d, low mid 71s to 73s 6d, fine ord 62s 6d, pea berry 73s to 92s 6d, triage 42s to 52s ; Mocha was nearly all withdrawn ; Havannah privately, 37s 6d to 40s per cwt. TEA.-There has been more activity in the market this week, and importers have shown firmness. The rates previously established are fully sustained for Congou, and the demand has been good for all descrip tions: 10 id to lid paid for large parcels of common sound, I lid to is Oid for good common, is id to Is 6d for middling and good blackish leaf, and is bid to 2s 4d for fine and Pekoe descriptions. Pouchong has met with increased attention at 5d to 9d, and for superior sorts 10d to Is per lb have been paid-this is still the cheapest description of Tea. Souchong, however, is not much wanted, and the supply exceeds the demand. Scented Orange Pekoe is greatly wanted, and prices rule high, owing to the smallness of the supply; sales made at 3s Id to 3s sd. Plain Orange Pekoe at is 7d to 2s 4d ; Twankey at is 2d to is 3d per lb ; the better kinds is 4d to is 8d ; and superior Hyson kind Is 9d to 2s sd. Imperial and Gunpowder are in good request. Hyson common at 2s 4d to 2s Gd per lb. For Caper there has been a much better demand. In Flowery Pekoe and young Hyson the operations are upon a more extended scale, and prices rule firm. To-day the mar ket was firm, and a fair business was done in most de scriptions, common and good common Congou cash fetched lid to is old per lb. SPICES.-Holders of Black Pepper have shown firm ness this week, and none has been offered at auction. To-day Cassia Lignea met with more attention at public sale, but a decline on former rates of is to 2s per cwt, good middling l lb bundles went at 58s 6d to 61s, mid 56s 6d to 58s, good ord 50s 6d to 51s, half bundles 51s to 545, mouldy 48s 6d to 53s 6d, cockroach damaged 49s 6d to 54s 6d, sea damaged 445, broken 47s 6d to 48s 6d per cwt.

Cloves were not much in request, and 41 chests Penang at public sale sold Id to 2d per lb cheaper, and went at 2s 5d to 2s 7d for fine bold bright Penang, and 2s to 2s 3d for good. Pepper was little inquired for. SACO has been inquired for, 112 bags at auction wore bought in at 14s per cwt fur middling small brown Pearl. Sago Flour at 18s to 20s per cwt. Holders remain firm and supply the market sparingly.

Spanis h is wanted, and the tendency of prices is upwards ; the market is sparingly supplied.

MANSION-HOUSE. • A man named William Harden, was charged be fore the Lord Mayor under the following circum stances : William Murton, a person in the employment of Messrs. Nathaniel Fenn and Co., of Botolph-lane, Aldersgate-street, stated that on Tuesday last a person called to look at some sugars, which witness showed to him, and he chose three bags, containing between five and six hundred weight, and value from 161. to 201. lle then ordered that the sugar should be sent to the Nag's llead, Bow, addressed 0. M., in the name of Joseph Morris, of Kingston. Witness forwarded the bags accordingly. The prisoner upn being asked, said that his name was Joseph Morris, and witness told him it was the usual practice of the firm to have cash for the first purchase, and a refe rence for any future purchases, and he told the witness to send the invoice to Sir Charles Prices, and to mention in — & invoice the - day he would call with the discount taken off. Witness, therefore, considered it to be completely a ready-money transaction. The prisoner referred him to Messrs. Lowell and Nash, and Thompson, Ross, and Co., and the former house, to which witness applied, gave him a very high character of Mr. Morris. In order that there might be no mistake, witness asked the prisoner a second time his name, and the prisoner gave him a card, with the name of Joseph Morris, tea dealer and cheesemonger, Collaton-bridge, Kingston. Witness afterwards saw the sugars in the possession of Mr. Russell, and identified them. Mr. Joseph Morris, of Collaton-bridge, grocer, stated that the prisoner called upon him on Monday last, with samples of sugar, and, after receiving an order from him for two bags, asked him where he dealt in London. He replied, at Sewell and Nash s, and Thompson and Ross's, and was then asked by the prisoner for his card, which he accordingly handed to him. Witness asked him what house he repre sented, and he said he represented Messrs. Hands and Co., of Mincing-lane, brokers. Witness had not given the prisoner any authority to apply to Messrs. Fenn and Co. for any goods in his name. William Bashford, a man in the employment of the proprietor of the Nag's Head Inn, Bow, stated that whilst he was at work in the yard on Tuesday, a man entered and produced an order for three bags of sugar. The goods were given to the man, and witness as sisted in loading the cart, but in consequence of in formation which he received, he followed the cart to the Swan on the Dover-road. The cart then re- turned to Mr. Russell in High-street, Borough, where witness, seeing the prisoner help to unload it, gave him at once into custody. Mr. Thomas Russell, of No. 72, High-street, Bo rough, stated that on Tuesday the prisoner came to his shop and said he was a traveller, and asked him if he was a buyer of sugar. The prisoner stated that he represented the house of Hands and Co., Mincing lane, that he was selling on commission; and he exhi bited a sample, which he said was a remnant of three or four bags from off a large parcel which they had, and asked 60s. per hundred weight for it. Witness offered him 595., and the prisoner observed, that as it was to clear a remnant, he would take it. Yesterday the sugar was brought to the door, and the prisoner presented the invoice produced, made out in the name of Dent, who he said was a commission-agent. Witness hesi tated, and the prisoner wanted to take the sugar away, but witness said, " No, if it's all right I'll keep them, ,s I bought them; if not, you have no business with them ;" and then the last witness came in, and asked whether witness knew the prisoner, and where the sugars came from, and witness sent to the Nag's Head to ascertain who had booked them, and found that they came from Fenn and Co.'s. The prisoner was then given into custody. The LORD MAYOR said the prisoner had adopted a most ingenious and systematic plan of robbery, and committed him for trial. GREENWICH. Yesterday Mary Ann Kendall, a fine-looking young woman, aged 22, was brought before Mr. Jeremy, charged with attempting self-destruction by throwing herself into the Grand Surrey Canal, at Black Horse-bridge, Deptford. William Arthur deposed that he was going to his daily labour, and when near Black Horse-bridge he heard a scream repeated three times loudly. He saw the prisoner jump into the water. Supposed she was trying to save her sister, who had previously jumped in and sunk. She resisted witness very much, and sail she was determined to go in again. He got her out of the canal with the assistance of the police and other persons. W. Padgam, 278 M, deposed that he conveyed the prisoner to the station-house. On the way she de clared that she would go into the water again. She would go with her sister, but assigned no reason for so doing. Prisoner said she did not know her sister Eliza was going to drown herself. Her sister dipped her hand kerchief in the canal, and wiped her face. Witness turned round. and in an instant she heard a splash in the water. On again turning she saw deceased sink ing. Don't recollect saying I would follow her. Jane Kendall deposed that she and her sister went out to get from the sight of their father; they left home early in the morning, at five o'clock; there are five in family, her father, self, and three sisters; they all work at shirtmaking, for a slop- house at Ber mondsey ; the person they work for is a Mr. Nor man ; deceased and her sister had pledged some shirts; witness lent them ss. to redeem them; it was money given her by her father to pay the rent with. They could earn by working very hard indeed, early and late, 3s. 6d. or 4s. per week. They received from Is. 6d. to 3s. per dozen for making them. Mr. JEREMY—That's from lid. to 3d. each. It was not mentioned to her father that the money had been misapplied, to their knowledge; but they much feared his knowledge of the fact ; ss. was all that her father had to pay his rent with. Mr. JEREMY said she had much better have told the truth, that the money had been applied to redeem shirts. The father of the prisoners stated that he got his living by working along shore among the shipping. He had made no complaint of her pledging the work, or redeeming it with his money. Mr. JEREMY said the present case was one of those exhibiting the effects of the grinding system in pay ing for labour. Here was a scene of distress and misery; two young girls going out deliberately in the morning for the purpose of destroying them- Selves, and one of them at that moment lying a corpse. After reading to the prisoner a most feeling admo nition, Mr. Jeremy ordered her to be delivered over to her father, who promised to sooth and keep a watchful eye upon her for the present. The unhappy parent and his daughters then left the Court, absorbed in grief. THAMES POLICE. Yesterday John Jackson, a waterman, belonging to the Lower Custom-house-stairs was brought before Mr. Ballantine, on a charge Of smuggling 41bs. of foreign manufactured tobacco. The case was a somewhat remarkable one. The prisoner was seen by a river inspector, named Joshua Judge, leaving the Earl of Liverpool steamer, off Pickle herring wharf, Horselydown, and, suspecting he had smuggled goods about him, called upon him to stop, which he refused to do, and rowed away as hard as he was able. Judge directed his men to give way, and they pulled after him. The prisoner, however, ha.l .. .,..y 1:& oLoz-b boat, awl sob ulscuAl a the police galley; but happening to get athwart hawse of a mooring -chain, brought him up all standing. The police galley bore down upon him, and he got away again, and " dodged" the river police among the tiers of vessels for some time, when he suddenly left off rowing, and put his hand inside his bosom for the purpose of removing some tobacco concealed there. Judge called out to him that it would be the worse for him if he threw anything overboard, and away he rowed again. The police galley continued the chase, came up with his boat, and Judge boarded him, and found seven papers of compressed tobacco secreted about his person. The prisoner's defence was, that some man he did not know gave him the tobacco to carry ashore, to some place he could not name. M. BALLANTINE fined the prisoner 505., and in default of payment sentenced him to 14 days' im prisonment. THE STATUE or GOETHE.—The Journal des De buts announces that the colossal statue of Goethe, which was east in bronze at the royal foundry of Munich, according to the model of Schwanthaler, has been com pleted and exhibited to numerous visitors. This statue is intended to ornament one of the squares of Frankfort-on the-Maine, his native place. Goethe is represented clad in a mantle, but having his hands free. He wears the simple costume of the present period. His right arm is resting on the trunk of an oak tree, and in his left he holds a laurel crown. His eyes aro turned towards Heaven. The subjects of the bas reliefs on the pedestals are borrowed from the works of Goethe. In the front, three female figures represent the natural sciences, and dramatic and lyric poetry. On the oppo site side is seen, at the right, Gcets of Belichingen, Eg mont, Tasso, and a fawn. On the left the Bride of Corinth, Prometheus, and the King of the Aulmes. One of the lateral surfaces represents Iphigenia, Orestes, Thoas, Faust, and Mephistophiles ; and the other, Mignon, Wilhelm Meister, the Harpist, Hermann, and Dorothea. CONSCIENCE.—The following is a verbatim copy of a letter in our possession, addressed to Mr. William Thompson, of Settrington Wold, near Melton :—" Mr. Thompson, I have sent you the enclosed sixpence, thinking it was my duty, having got from your house three or four eggs between 20 and 30 years since. That was the only thing upon my mind that made me un happp now, I'm happy. 'Go thou and d o th ou like wise. -- , A Methodist."—Yorkshire Gazette. DEATH OF A REMARKABLE CHARACTER. On Saturday morning, a remarkable character, well known to all classes of our citizens by the name of " Dr. Syntax," but whose proper patronymic was John Shirreff, died in the Royal Infirmary. He had been missing from the streets for the last six or seven weeks, indisposition having seized him, the result of a severe cold, which, to some extent, had also confined him to his house during a portion of last winter. This strange and eccentric individual, for twenty-five years, had managed to cut a strange figure in the metropolis, and although his peculiarities displayed much of the monomaniac, there was a harmlessness and innocence about him which made him a general favourite. In early life he had been a clerk in the City Cess-office, and it was while in this situation that his mental aberration first manifested itself. For the last quarter of a century he devoted his time to frequenting all public places, more particu larly the University and City Churches. In the College, by the favour of the Professors, he had a free right of access to all the lecture-rooms, and it was his boast he had attended more than a hundred courses of lectures. Like all half-witted persons, he had his tale to tell of persecution and oppression, endured at the hands of mysterious enemies, and the same notion in duced the feeling that, notwithstanding his knowledge of the medical science, these same enemies had con spired to deprive him of his license as an M.D., long a favourite object of his ambition. A desire to show them that they had not altogether crushed him, seemed to be a ruling motive for his celebrated Sun day exhibitions. Dressed with the most scrupulous care and cleanliness, in an antiquated costume of a semi-military character, with Hessian boots, he was to be seen every Sunday stalking through the streets at a rapid pace, with his stick over his shoulder. His appearance was rendered still more grotesque by his wearing a deep green shade over his eyes with a pair of unusually large green spectacles poised near the extremity of his nose. He was sure to plant himself in the principal seat of the front gallery of one of the City Churches, where he made himself still more con spicuous by standing up, sometimes sketching the portrait of the preacher while the rest of the congre gation were composedly attending to the sermon. The High Church was his favourite resort for this purpose, and happy man was he when he could con trive to secure his position without molestation in the seat of royalty. On the Sunday following the Town Council's resolution not to attend the High Church, the Doctor coolly and consequentially took possession of the empty seat, as he himself said, "to set the ma• gistrates an example." He always stood during the singing of the psalms, and he had an idea that he, and not the precentor, led the congregation in this part of Divine worship. He kept neither the time nor the tune of the precentor; so that his discordant per formances had a painfully ludicrous character. Several years ago, on account of the marked conspi cuousness of his behaviour, he was ejected from St. George's Church, and this was an affront which he never forgave, or ceased to enlarge upon, when re lating the malicious doings of his persecutors. As a sketcher of portraits, he used also to attend the meetings of the Town Council, the Presbytery, the General Assembly, and the Parliament House. Many of these sketches possessed considerable merit. Though he never followed any occupation by which he could gain a livelihood (with the exception of an eighteen months' connexion with a London newspaper), it is satisfactory to know that his wants were pro vided for by the united liberality of a few benevolent citizens, who gave him liberty to purchase to a cer tain extent weekly. He inhabited alone a good house, but meanly furnished, attending to all his household concerns without any assistance. It was by dint of no little manceuvering that he was prevailed on to quit his own house, and he did not know that he had been taken to the Infirmary till some days after his removal. his death was hastened by his dogged re fusal to take the medicine prescribed by his attendants, under dread of poison, and after lingering ten days he expired early on Saturday morning. He was, we believe, a native of the Borders, andabout sixty-nine years of age.—Edinburgh Advertiser of Tuesday. ALARMING AFFRAY IN BALFRON (From the Glasgow Chronicle of Wednesday.) On Saturday night last an outrage of a most daring character was perpetrated in the vicinity of Balfron, which alarmed the whole country for miles round, and for a time placed the lives of two persons in imminent jeopardy. It appears that there is a road now in course of formation between Blane toll and Gartmore, at which upwards of two hundred Irish labourers are employed. These men are gene rally paid weekly ; and on Saturday afternoon last, as usual, after receiving their wages, they proceeded to occupy most of the public-houses in Balfron, where they continued drinking till an early hour on Sunday morning. Of this number, two men named M'Cormick--an uncle and a nephew—who were sub contractors on the line, both powerful athletic fellows, went into the toll-house at Kepculloch, where they remained fuddling until the night was far advanced. Latterly, the toll-keeper refused to supply them with any more liquor, and they took their departure in rather an excited state. After a short time, however (the house having been locked up and secured), the uncle and ;nephew returned, and were refused ad mittance, when they, without any ceremony, de liberately smashed in the window of the toll-house, and, having effected an entrance in this way, they at tacked the toll-keeper, and nearly killed him in the presence of the police•officer of the district and a farm servant, who were in the house, but who were afraid to attempt rendering any assistance, in case their own lives should be forfeited. The M'Cormicks having perpetrated this outrage, made their escape. An alarm, however, was quickly conveyed to Bal fron, and ultimately nine or ten special constables were collected, who at once went in search for the delinquents, and succeeded in tracing them to a farm house on Auchentroig estate, where they were ac customed to lodge. By this time it was after mid night, and very dark. On reaching the farm-house the constables apprehended the elder M'Cormick, but the officer who accompanied the force foolishly re frained from putting handcuffs upon him, and, while others of the men proceeded to search for the nephew, the old man seized hold of the pickaxe that lay con venient to him, and with it aimed a deadly blow at M'Lane, excise-officer in Balfron, who, it seems, had joined the party, which took effect upon his forehead, and stretched him nearly lifeless on the ground. On this the force of specials took flight and ran for their lives, and on reaching Balfron alarmed the whole dis trict. A party of from forty to fifty weavers and other inhabitants then turned out and marched to the scene of action, where they found Mr. M'Lane, not dead, but severely cut on the head, and both the M'Cormicks fled. Information was next dispatched to Stirling, whence Mr. Sconce, fiscal for the county, accompanied by officers, arrived on the Sunday, and on being informed of the circumstances, that gentle man suspected that the M'Cormicks, wbo carried with them from 401. to 50/. of the men's wages, had made across the country for flelensburgh, on their way to Ireland, of which country they are natives. Mr. Sconce, on this understanding, proceeded direct to Greenock, where he was fortunate enough to ap prehend the two blackguards, with the assistance of John Blair, the efficient criminal officer of Balfron, on Monday last, just as they were stepping on board the Belfast steamer. Yesterday the M'Cormick's were safely lodged in Stirling gaol, to await their trial for the offences above mentioned. We are happy to learn that, although still in a most distressing con dition, M'Lane and the tollman are considered almost out of danger. LIVES OF THE SAINTS.—Mr. Newman is nOW publishing a number of works under this title. We turn to the biography of St. B irtholomew, one of the choicest of these saints. His history begins at page 128, and contains, in the words of his biographer, " many startling and even grotesque stories." The biographer thus warns the reader at the very beginning of his nar rative, and very properly too—" We may feel startl e d and disgusted that such a fi g ure, with an ill-smell of goat. skins, should come betwixt the wind and our nobility, but he is the genuine product of an age of faith ;" when St. Bartrenly " was born, the blessed Virgin looked upon him with a sweet countenance," and " the figure on the crucifix stretched out its arms to welcome this new soldier of the cross." We are told that "by his prayers a clear stream gushed from the hard rock." Besides a saint, no easy business in " Catholic" estimate, he was " a grazier, fisherman, labourer, and pilot." In the midst of these labours, to, " a rough shirt of hair was worn by him next his skin," and he slept "on a pallet from which the hardiest of the world's soldiers would have shrunk." The " seagulls and the cider ducks" were fond of the saint's company. One dark morn ing Satan, we are gravely told, got into his throat, and nearly choked him. " For some time he was un able to speak, but at last he shook off the impedi ment and called upon Mary. Against these attacks his only weapons were the sign of the cross and holy wa ter." The biographer of the saint closes with his burial in Fame; and it is conjectured by the writer that Grace Darling was in some way connected by succession or de scent with this monk of the olden time. gefhe spirit of these holy men who once lived in Fame seems still to dwell there. It was on Bartholomew's Island that that Christian maiden lived, who, not many years ago, ven tured her life to save tho crew of a shipwrecked vessel." The writer forgets it was not by beads and holy water and crucifixes, but by hard rowing and strong-hearted courage, that Grace Darling did service to the wrecked. Are these the productions of illustrious Oxford ? We rejoice to answer, they are not. They are printed in Derby and published in London, and drawn up by mon who have unhappily associated the name of Oxford with publications replete with the dogmas of Trent, and they are too palpable proofs, not that the Church of England has become Burnish, but that Messrs. Newman Ward, and Pusey,'shouhl be in p erson w h ere they are in R principle and predilection,. in the Chur c h o f cane.— Ilianchester Guard i an, MORTALITY in the METROPOLIS.
