He is constantly attended by two turnkeys. ; Upon being first conducted to the condemned cell he was moat care fully and minutely searched, and even his watch-key was taken from him. With regard to the commission of the awful crime of which he has been found guilty, he main tains the most obstinate silence, neither admitting nor denying his guilt. His principal source of uneasiness ap pears to arise from the disgrace which he has brought upon his unhappy family, and from the state of grid into which he feels they must necessarily be thrown. On Friday night he alluded to this, exclaiming, as he sat in his cell between the two turnkeys, "Oh, what a dread ful thing for a man like me, who has got a family, and who wqs in such comfortable circumstances, to be placed in such a position as this."

PA TRICK'S EVE; or, Three Eras in the Life of an Irish Peasant. • The general feeling in the town of Aylesbury is de cidedly against him. The jury are not inhabitants of the town, they resided in the immediate neighbourhood; but every one who expresses an opinion on the subject seems to be strongly impressed with the conviction that from the evidence they (the jury) could not pos , ibly have returned any other verdict. Many seem to think that the bungling story which he himself told to the police man, with respect to the woman poisoning herself, has been the principal means of causing his conviction. As to the fact of his guilt, however, a doubt does not exist in the minds of any party. All speak of him with feel ings of the greatest possible execration—all, in fact, re-echo the words of Baron Parke in his address, when he denounced the murder as a most " cowardly one," and added, that from the evi dence (" which satisfied him ") he could almost imagine that be actually saw him (the prisoner) mixing up the poison for the unfortunate woman. Very different, in deed, appear to have been the prisoner's own anticipa tions as to the result of the trial. It is positively stated in the town of Aylesbury that he made arrangements to have left the town in a triumphant manner on Thursday evening (when he expected the trial would have ter minated.) It appears, however, that, after the judge's charge on Friday, his confidence as to his acquittal was considerably shaken. Immediately after the charge he addressed a gentleman, and asked him, " What he thought of it ?" adding, at the same time, " the case, I now fear, looks decidedly black against me." The greatest possible sympathy is entertained towards his unfortunate wife. She, ever since his first apprehen sion, has acted towards him with the greatest kindness and affection. She appeared to have been impressed with a thorough conviction of his innocence of the murder. As to the connexion which existed between him and the unfortunate deceased, she did not believe that that had been continued beyond his marriage with her to any extent beyond that of his allowing her a certain sum for her support. It does not appear that she knew anything of this connexion before the pub licity that has recently been given to it; but she evi dently appeared to be quite satisfied that it bad not—at least in a criminal point of view—been kept up since his marriage. _ _ By CHARLES LEVER.

WM. MARCHANT, 253, Regent-circus, Oxford-street. It his been already stated in the daily papers that Tawell's son, by the deceased Sarah Hart, a fine boy of about five years old, was in Aylesbury during the trial. We have talked with the hostess of the inn at which he remained, and she speaks of him in the kindest possible manner. He used frequently to say that Mr. Tawell "poisoned his mother." This, however, he must, of course, have heard from others. At the time that the verdict was made known through the town, the boy was standing in the bar parlour, and upon hearing it, he immediately burst into tears, evidently showing that, though of such tender years, he knew what the result must be, and that he also had some affection for his un fortunate father. He has been since taken by his grand mother to Gravesend, where she resides, being as we have learned in tolerably comfortable circumstances. There are not many Quakers in Aylesbury, not even so many as to form a congregation, but those that are there do not appear to recognise the unhappy man as one of their body. Mrs. Tawell, the prisoner's wife, has not visited Ayles bury since Sunday week, on which day she dined at the White Hart, from which house the prisoner's dinners were daily provided. So strong, it seems, was Mrs. Tawell's belief that her husband wou ld b e honcurably acquitted, that she remarked, in sending his dinner to the gaol on that day, "that it would be the last dinner her John would have at that place." The result of the trial was communicated to the un happy Mrs. Tawell in the presence of the prisoner's brother and Miss Cutforth. On hearing the shocking news, so opposite to what she anxiously looked forward to, she fainted away, and it was found necessary to call in medical assistance to her aid. Her sufferings throughout the day were most intense ; but on Saturday she ap peared more calm, and was a little belt r. WON A CORRESPONDENT.) The execution of John Tawell, for the murder of Sarah Hurt, is expected to take place in front of the County-hall, at Aylesbury, on the morning of Tuesday, the 25th instant. The whole of the property possessed by the prisoner was assigned over to trustees, for the benefit of his wife, for some time previous to the trial ; but, we understand, without any provision having been made for the two children (a boy and a girl), borne him by the murdered woman, and who are now of the ages of four and five years. The expenses of the prosecution amounted to nearly 4001. The number of witnesses sum moned to attend on the part of the Crown were thirty three ; the whole of whom had to travel between thirty and forty miles (and many a much greater distance), and to be kept at Aylesbury for four days, from Tuesday morning, when they went before the grand jury, until the conclusion of the trial on Friday. It will be remembered that the parochial authorities of Farnham (the parish in which the murder was com mitted), were bound over by the coroner, at the conclu sion of the inquest, at Salt-hill, to prosecute. As a great portion of the expenses (the whole of which were strictly necessary and legal) which have been incurred in bring ing the delinquent to trial and punishment will not be allowed to be paid by the county, a question is expected to arise whether the difference will have to be paid by the parish or from out of the pockets of the parties who were bound over to prosecute. If the difference to which we allude were to be paid out of the money raised fur the relief of the poor of the . parish of Farnham, it is stated by a high legal authority tqat the Poor-law Commis sioners would not be legally justified in suffering such an item to be passed in their accounts. The expenses incurred by the prisoner for his defence, including his outlay from the period of his apprehension, on the 2d of January, are stated to amount to upwards of 700/ Name.. • • • • ..

BRIGHTON AND CHICHESTER.-(PORTSMOUTH EXTENSION.) The Committee sat from twelve o'clock on Saturday until half-past four o'clock, and were occupied again with the con siderntion of cases of erroneous descriptions in the book of reference, precisely similar to those adduced the previous dam DARTMOUTH ELECTION COM- MITTEE. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of Saturday.) Mr. COLBORNE contended that there was no such case be fore the Committee as that upon which the Learned Counsel who had just sat down had been arguing for nearly two lung and weary hours. He (Mr. Colborne) contended that the point at issue was, whether Mr. Somes had not been legally and with perfect bona fides, released from this contract; and he was in a position to prove that. The facts were these, Mr. Somes having attained the meredian of life, was anxious to crown a long course of .useful and honourable enterprise by becoming a Member of Parlia ment, and with this object of honourithlet- ambi tion in view, and having realised a large fortune, he knew he should give up his position as a Government contractor, and, therefore, he proceeded to do so; and the sacrifice, though large, wGuld not be great for one possessed of so much wealth as he was. But he had not time to put his property in the market, for delay would attend such a course, and he, there fore, resolved to dispose of it to his nephews, who had been brought up under his own care since their father had ceased to live, and one of whom had been for some time in business as a ship-owner. To whom, then, could Mr. Somes be more likely to make this sacrifice than to those nephews, he having no sons of his own ? The Learned Coursel then produced a copy of Mr. Somes' soli citor's letter to the Lords of the Admiralty, praying their Lordships to consent to Mr. Somes transferring his ships, &c., to his nephew, as he wished to be qualified as a candidate for the representation of Dartmouth; and also the reply of their Lordships, granting the permission. l lie Learned Counsel then' went on to comment at great length on the speech of Sergeant Kinglake, and contended that it did not apply to the case at all, it being guiteclear that Mr. Somes had conveyed away his pro perty in those (hips, and resigned his position as a contrac3, tor; and, at the Admiralty had the power . to release Mr, ' SOrnes or any other contractor, from a contract , if they should think fit to do so. It had been contended that this transfer, even if it did Like place, 'was a colourable one, particularly if no money was paid by the nephews . to Mr. Some's.

He would bring up the nephews themselves, and prove this fact by their evidence; and then, indeed, this question would assume a very serious aspect, if it was to be said that these young men would add perjury to fraud, merely because they were under the influ nce of their uncle. --....... ........ ......„ .....,..... ....., When the Learned Counsel concluded his speech, the Com mittee adjourned till eleven o'clock this day.

They were started by Mr. Searle, and were at next piers to each other, the Cambridge having won the chance, but there was but a slight difference or advan tage. They took the start at the same moment, but the Oxonians wera„er than the Cantabs in this respect, and dashed off the first half dozen strokes an advance of about a quarter of a cutter's length, but they were unable to hold it, although they did not lose the "pride of place" without a desperate struggle. Both laid down to the work from the moment after starting, but they had not gone further than the Duke's Head (about two hundred yards) when the Cantabs, by dint of superior power and pluck, were abreast of them, and in a moment afterwards passed them. From this moment until the time of coming in there was no chance. The Oxonians, it is true, endeavoured by all that pluck could do to mend their condition, but it was met by a cor responding effort on the part of the others. The Cantabs went through Hammersmith- bridge about two lengths and a half a head, maintained their position in the most gallant style, and won by two lengths. PATENT PARAGON CAMPHINE LAMPS.

THE BISHOP OF EXETER AGAIN 1-It appears that as soon as his Lordship learnt that the curate of Falmouth had relinquished the popish forms and ceremonies which had been so long performed at the church, he wrote both to Mr. Symonds and to the churchwardens, stating, that while he readily consented, for the sake of peace, to the discontinuance of any practices not ordered by . the Church (such as r hantings, &c.) he could not permit, in any of the churches of the diocese, the discontinuance of any part of the Liturgy (as ordered by the Rubric) which was used there at the date of his last letter to the clergy, the Bth of January of the present year. Ile must, therefore, require that the reading of a sentence at the Offertory, and of the prayer for the Church Militant after the morning sermon, be continued at Falmouth as before.— West Briton.

A FE TV OBSER NATIONS on, and a few Fact 3 illm , tratire of, the Etils attending the Syaem cf DETAINING SINGLE LUNATICS in PRI VATE DWELLINGS, without Responsible Su pervision. Dr. Barry, of Richmond, the author of this pamphlet, takes, as his text, the following passage from the speech delivered by Sir James Graham, in the House of Commons, on the 23d of July, last : " Notwithstanding the detention of single lunatics by their friends in private dwellings is open to abuse, yet it does not appear that such prevails." —Sir James Graham's Speech in the house of Commons, July 23,1844. And he asserts that the system is not only open to abuse, but that abuses of. the most horrible cha racter do actually prevail. Public asylums, and pri vate madhouses—that is, houses containing a plurality of insane patients, are under the surveillance of the commissioners of lunacy, but single lunatics, or alleged lunatics, detained in private dwellings, are under no surveillance whatever, and there is but too much reason to fear, that not only are the ac tually insane under such circumstances wilfully treated in a manner calculated to aggravate, and not to cure their malady, but that many sane persons are subjected to a system of slow torture, sufficient to drive them mad. According to Dr. Barry's account, atrocities the most inhuman, and immoralities the most atrocious, are perpetrated in these private dwellings for single lunatics. The doctor is evi dently an enthusiast, and may possibly have been in some instances misled into the making of exag gerated statements, but the very fact that under the existing system the perpetration of the atrocities which he has denounced is possible, ought to lead to its immediate reform; and if ge can substantiate one-half of what he alleges, Parliament will incur a heavy responsibility if it suffers the present session to end, without passing some legislative enactment for the remedy of so crying an evil. 7HE FRENCH LANGUAGE ACQUIRED IN FOUR MONTHS; an Entiicly Original System of Teaching the Language. By M. MARIO?' DE BEAVVOISIiV. M. Mariot de Beauvoisin is scarcely correct in calling his an entirely original system of teaching language. It is an improvement upon the system of Hamilton, as the system of Hamilton is an improve ment upon that of Locke; but. to John Locke is due the credit of having suggested the system of teaching languages by means of literal translations ; and to Jahn Clarke, author of " The Introduction to the Making of Latin," that of Laving practically carried `' o«r , //- 714// it out. Clarke laboured for years in the cause ofd teaching by means of literal translation; and althcnigh the labourer himself is forgotten, kit labours are now producing their fruit. John Clarke lived a century too soon. With regard to the work now before us, we have already stated that it is an improvement upon the system of Hamilton. There is an inter. linear translation, but the translation is printed separately on a transparent leaf, through the interstices between the lines of which the French is seen when the leaf is turned down.... when the leaf is turned over the French alone appears. This transparent leaf is certainly calculated to facilitate the progress of the pupil. Then after each reading lesson come questions for examination, and also a parsing lesson, and these are so arranged that at the end of the course the pupil finds that he has not only acquired an immense number of words, but that he has also obtained a perfect knowledge of French grammar. M. Mariot de Beauvoisin's system of teaching the genders of nouns is the most simple and, at the same time, the most complete that has ever been attempted. It is a carrying out of the Hamiltonian princip!e in a perfectly novel manner, and consists in invariably prefixing the article to the noun. This is the only method in which the gender of French nouns can be learned with an3.thing like accuracy, for, as M. de B.:auvoisin justly observes— " There is no rule by which a foreigner can determine whether a substantive is masculine or feminine." THE ABBOTSFORD EDITION Or TIM WAVERLY NOVELS. 'Vol. 7. The present volume of this =garment edition of the works of the " .Ariosto of the North," contains " The Fortunes of Nigel," and " Peveril of the Peak." Both novels are profusely illustrated in a similar superb style to the former volumes. The work, when completed, will be a perfect triumph of British art. The typography, too, is beautiful. \ T-1, HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. Her Majesty honoured the Italian Opera with her pre sence on Saturday evening. The performances were the opera of Ernani and the new ballet of Eoline, both of which increase in popularity on every representation. The qu;ntette in the second act of Ernani was rap turously encored, as was the terzetto at the conclusion of the opera. Her Majesty, who arrived at the commence ment of the second act of the opera, remained until nearly the conclusion of the ballet. The house was crowded by a fashionable audience from the very com mencement of the performances. As we imagined would be the case, the merits of Verdi are becoming daily better understood and appreciated in this coun try. His works suit the atmosphere for which they have been composed; . and as their melodies become- familiar to the opera vis itant, so will they increase in favour. gn The principal airs in Ernani are benning-to resound in the drawing-room, and when this is the case, the pros pects of a new composer are golden indeed. In a word, Verdi has touched the fancy of fashionable England, and he has nothing to do now but to swim, as long as he can, with the tide. The reputation of the day is all that con cerns him, and that he is likely to achieve. The appearance of her Majesty's Theatre on Saturday night was as brilliant as we ever remember to have seen it, and as unlike what it used to be in the slovenly times before Easter as it is possible to conceive. The Queen, attended by the Prince, and a large party of ladies (who co doubt are duly chronicled by the industrious Court newsman) was present, and there was a magnificent dis play of aristccracy and fashion. Her Majesty stayed the whole of the opera, and also during a portion of the ballet, which had the desirable effect of preventing delays and consequently of avoiding unseemly encroachments upon the Sabbath. With the opera the Royal party appeared to be much pleased: and it could not well be otherwise, for it was capitally sung—with all those advantages re sulting from an improved mechanical knowledge, and on the part of the prima donna, Madame Rita Borio, with an accession of effect necessarily coming from mended confidence and increased self-reliance. This lady has fulfilled all the prognostics which were entertained in her favour on her first appearance. Considerably less em barrassed, she now sings with great brilliancy and power, and with but few failures—even when her vocal flights (as in her first cavatina) are bold and hazardous. She always executes in a musician-See style, as if her eda. cational exercises had been conducted upon sound disciplinarian principles; and if she is not destined to shine in so distinctive a manner as she does at present when Grisi is by her side, she will prove an adjunct immeasurably superior to any of the second-rate attittes who have in recent years had prominent introductions. She will turn out on excellent reserve —a substitute of useful efficiency when the manager is in a strait—when ill-temper is playing inconve nient tricks, and when ominous-looking certificates are handed in from Dr. Wardrop. Signor Botelli is she thriving in estimation. He is not unimpeachable as to intonation, which sometimes fails him when he strains his voice in " high places ;" but ho is, altogether, a bar ritone singer capable of good serviee, and his presence, like that of Madame Rita Borio, will no doubt often be considered a useful fact as the season advances. Mo riani and Fornasari sang with their usual skill and good address ; but although the fine tenor voice of the former is heard in Ernani in all its ringing fulness, and is endued by the singer with wondrous passion and in tensity, the character is on the whole ineffective, from causes incident to itself. The vehemence of this artist is both impressive and imposing, but his voice will evi dently bear but little emphatic stress :it is - apt to sis flat in passages of great exertion, a tendency which tints and labour will not mend. There were several encores (luring the evening, and every disposition to encouraea the singers and to show favour to the opera. The con certed pieces improve upon acquaintance, many felicitous points, from which the overtaxed attention was diverted on the first night, being observable. The ballet of Enline is an admirable vehicle for the performances of Mdlle. Lucille Grahn, whoSe elegance of manner, ease, and feminine gracefulness, are seen in it to perfection. It may be doubtful whether any pds cle caractere was ever more effective than the " Mazourka d'Extase." In this, Lucille Grahn comes out as a great pantomimic artist, manifesting an intelligence and apti tude, as well as a poetical feeling, likely to win the highest kind of repute. The composition of the pas is ingenious and characteristic. The fiend tempts 'the un willing Dryad to dance. She is animated by an unna lural energy, which relaxes at each successive touch of the malicious Gnome, who catches her in his arms as she whirls ipsily before him ; she recoils convulsively as his evil fingers press and collapse her heart, until, be wildered and pa'ralysed by his insidious power, she sinks down motionless at his feet. All this is described with consummate skill. Perrot's personation of the Gnome is a finished bit of demonianism : the glance of his eye is fiendish, and the poor Dryad, all lightheartedness and innocence, seems to be benumbed as she comes under its withering influence. The dancing of Mademoiselle Gralin is remarkable for its firmness : it is not wonderful—there are none of the vigorous bounds of Cerito, nor the twinkling impossibi lities of Fanny Elssler, but there is the neatness of the latter and the general impulse of the foamier. The new . clunscuse, Mdlle. Weis, is a painstaking person, and flies across the stage in a suit of blue muslin, with a strength and a determination not often seen in a roryphee. She is an athletic of no mean power ; but h.!r vigcur is not very bewitching . If the evolutio ns o f the four young ladies who assist her in the pas de einq were abbreviated, or expunged altogether, it would be a boon for which most people would express gratitude. Let us again write a word in praise of the scesiery, and the effects peculiar to it, which reflect no little credit upon Mr. Marshall and his co-operators. The forest scene with its shadowy tenantry of sprites and Dryads is a masterpiece of its kind, and is worth con templating as the embodyment of a pretty and poetical,' fancy. The spot seems a veritable haunt of ft: fries ; and when the troop of Dryads emerge from the hollow trunks where they have been hidden, and gambol play fully under the leafy canopy which shelters them, the effect is delicate and enchanting. On Saturday nt,;•ht a casualty hapkened which sadly perplexed the poetry of the scene. Several huge trees were torn sip violently by the re ots, disclosing certain ungainly pieces of car penter's work evidently not intended fin. the eye of her Majesty or her lieges. Windlasses were head to groan, and hot interjections from the lips of infuriated stage managers flew from side to side. The little Dryads peeped pitifully from their sanctuaries in the foliage overhead, and wondered how the disruption of their pa ternal oaks would end ; but the rebellious canvas, which was curiously cobbled up in mid air, suddenly swung heavily down, and the trees took to their roots *On— to the intense satisfaction of everybody both on and off the stag e.
