efotrbf Mbitton SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock, -is 41 13 4 31 —6( leo 7) 0 100 0 0 FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. GLOBE.—The session of Parliament was formally closed yesterday. The Joint-Stock Cabinet produc tion—designated, by courtesy, " the Royal Speech"— was on this occasion read by the Lord Chancellor. This circumstance is a source of satisfaction. That so wretched a composition—in which the object and interest of its concoctors was manifestly to say nothing, and thus to cast a veil over their own incompetency for conducting the business of the nation with advantage—should have been placed in the hands, and passed from the lips, of our beloved Sovereign, would have excited regret. It is bad enough that the country should be cursed with so wretched a set of Ministers; it would increase the mortification, for it would enhance the incessant mischiefs they inflict, were the Queen to be exhibited on the throne, as their puppet, to speak a string of words of no meaning, such as the Speech of yesterday was constructed of. The session is described in the Speech as "laborious and protracted." If it were " laborious," its labours were un pr o d uc ti v e of good— if protracted, the time it occupied in its sittings was unmarked by a single measure of national utility. The session of 1843-4 will be chronicled as devoid of interest. It would be well if the most prominent of the incidents which have occurred during its proceedings ) could be obliterated from the records of Parliament. 13i Circumstances have occurred in the course of the ' debates that have tended to lower the House of Com mons in the estimation of the country. 'Weakness of purpose, shown by truckling to the dictation of the Minister, have brought its character as an independent branch of the Constitution, into discredit, if they do not brand it with disgrace. The divisions on the ten hours' clause of the Factory Bill, and upon the sugar ', duties resolution, will remain—a proverb of reproach to the assembly in which the inconsistencies occurred. The Speech states, with more of swagger than is jus tified by the paucity of information it deigns to supply, " that, by the justice and moderation of the two Go ) vernments, the events which seemed likely to inter rupt ) the good understanding and friendly relations between this country and France have been p averted." In the House of Commons Sir Robert Peel and Lord Aberdeen designated the conduct of the 7 French authorities at Otaheite " a gross outrage," for 2 which " ample satisfaction" had been " promptly de ; e manded," and " must be obtained." There is reason to believe that these "brave words" were all of bravery that the British Government displayed ; or that if they were used in the discussion between the two govern ments, their tone was soon lowered to a standard more consistent with the craven courage which distin guishes the presiding genius of the Foreign-office. The " gross outrage" to British honour has been atoned for ; and the indignation it called forth from the Pre -34 mier and his Foreign Secretary has been propitiated, by the mere removal from the scene of outrage of 11. D'Aubigny, the functionary who perpetrated the foul indignity on the British Consul, and the insult to the British flag. His dismissal from the French service, if required by the British Government, wa s % refused. Mr. Pritchard, who suffered personally and Is officially from the violence of the French autho rities, is no longer to be entrusted with the func tions of a Consul. Without a single imputation upon his conduct, he is sacrificed by his Government at the 3 1 altar of French sensitiveness. He was the victim of 5 34 French violence at Otaheite. He is the victim of 7 British injustice at home. This, in the language of 5% the Speech, is "justice and moderation." Every where else it is spoken of as a paltry concession t o o French arrogance—a pusillanimous abandonment of o rightful claims—a criminal indifference to the honour t3s. and interests of the British name and nation. Peace would not have been perilled by firm a ness—it would have been preserved. Future causes 5 34 of difference between the two countries would have 8 been prevented, if in the discus s i ons on th e O ta h e i tan 7 5 % question between the two Governments, a tone and s% bearing had been adopted more consistent with the y 5. 1 ,4 i position of the British nation, and with the nature of 5,1 the "outrage' upon our flag and representative, of which we complained. The British Government affected to feel, as it ought, when [speaking on the subject; but 1 i 34 this feeling has apparently evaporated in sound. 5 The paragraph in which " the result of the session " is summed up, is of the style usually designated "slap-dash." It was evidently contributed by Lord Lyndhurst, as his portion toward the Cabinet com • position :—" The result of the session has been a completion of many measures calculated to im prove the administration of the law, and to pro ;s4 mote the public welfare." The only measure which is specifically mentioned, as justifyi n g thi s y % high-sounding claim to legislative wisdom and utility, is the Bank Restriction Issue Bill —a measure ' certainly not connected with the " administration of 5 34 the law ; ' while the extent to which it will operate 7 ,, u to " promote the public welfare," is more easily a% affirmed than demonstrated. We gave it the aid of our , 9 , general approval at the time it was brought forward. '1 We still think it calculated to place the monetary transactions of the country on a sounder basis. But 2 who ever expected to see it paraded in th e Sp eec h, a t the close of the session, as the ground of a claim 4 on the part of the Government to a nation's praise ? How miserably deficient must the session have shown 3 itself, when looking back upon their doings, the Cabi -75% net, while concocting the Speech with which to close its " laborious and protracted " proceedings, could • 3 find nothing more important among them than this o mediocre "production, to mention by name ! The omission of all allusion to Ireland must strike every o one. There is more eloquence in this silence than any words that could have been em s ployed. 'We re a d i n it th e d eep mor tifi ca - D% tion inflicted by defeat—the distracting diffi e4 s culties with which Ministers feel themselves sur s rounded. They are not only at a loss what to do— they are actually at a loss what to say. Speech fails g them—confusion covers them. What ! not one word about Ireland ? Has not the dignity of the law been 6 vindicated ? Has not the public peace been preserved 7 and the advantages of social order secured, by the ti s prosecution and condign punishment of those who et a tempted to subvert them ? What has become of that part of the Speech in which the policy of Ministers 7 in the government of Ireland was lauded by I% themselves, as demonstrative of their wisd om an d 4 ( energy ? Where is now that well-poised paragraph ? The reversal of the judgment pronounced upon Mr. r O'Connell has converted their wisdom into foolish ness, and rendered them the objects at which a nation s points its finger in d er i s i on. Th ey w i ll b e laughed , 34 to scorn by the Irish people ; instead of being, as sN they otherwise w ou ld h ave b een, the theme of their ; 1 1 undying antipathy. Sir Robert Peel will learn during the recess, that which he ought long since to I have known and acted upon—that he cannot govern IN Ireland. The party with which he is associated, and which endures him as its head, will not allow him to 9 5 11 5 act upon a generous policy towards a sensitive peo -53( ple ; and that pe o pl e w ill no t su b m it t o b e nom i nally f i l e , freemen, while the Ministers seek to govern them as though they were slaves. 4 STANDARD.—The Times has this day an ill -3 • eu natured article upon the Royal Speech. The tone of D s Z the article, which makes a commen t ary upon the sg Speech a vehicle for a personal attack upon the Pre mier, will surprise no one who has had experience , of the general " fault- finding" disposition of our ,% morning contemporary, and has paid any attention 36 to its recent conduct towards her Majesty's Govern ment. The Times commences by an allusion to the announcement of " the re-establishment of perfect " amity with France." This must be a bitter dose to a journal which had laboured with so much assiduity ; to prove the improbability of such a " re-establish t went of perfect amity," and, indeed, had done its part ri to render it improbable, if not impossible • the dose i;4 being thus bitter, it is swallowed with all dispatch. ) 5 The commentator then proceeds to commend th e s t y l e and structure of the Royal Address, somewhat equivo cally, as " something more than an average specimen of the ordinar = y featherbed style of composition, and the 7 U ordinary milk-and-water pieces of information which a ot6 such documents display." This contemptuous t one a may be employed in speaking of any State paper, whatever its merits, provided only that it has merits; 2 such documents, if they are easy and clear in style, 434 and communicate information, which is at once true and gratifying, satisfy, we presume, all 9 su, requirements. "Doubtless if the Times had to write ; ;6 a Royal Speech, it would season it with a few 4); sneers to please those who hate to hear any one, or anything, commended without qualification, or with a few anecdotes furnished, perhaps, by its "naval offi -7 cer " correspondents. The paucity of " definite state. 5 5 ments" is, however, fixed upon as the great defect of the Speech. What would our Contemporary have ? The 1% Speech announces peace abroad and at home, improved activity in manufactures and commerce, a greatly Rug i34mented revenue, and the prospect of an abundant har vest. Was the Speech to enter into particulars—to give the statistical proofs in support of all these general P te ' statements ? In that case we should compassionate q 4 all obliged to listen to it. Let nobody imagine that " ) ) 4 because these gratifying statements are necessarily general, they are thiugs of course. The experience of 11 years of Whig-Radical Government has taught us that they are not. They announce the enjoyment of those benefit s an d blessings for the absence of which the Royal addresses from 1830 to 1841 had pretty generally to apologise or to express regret. This is a j change in the style of the sessional addresses which will be appreciated by that rational portion of man /! kind who remember that the business of a Govern ment is in the first place to govern, not to change —to administer the powers confided to it for the promotion lof peace, industry, and national prosp er it y , w hi c h i f it does effectually, it unquestionably fulfils its highest function. If we could imagine on earth a perfect constitution of government, and a social state calling fCie no improvement, the country enjoying this constitution and this social state could be addressed in no other terms of congratulation than those upon which the Times affects to pour contempt. It is a great step towards this BANKRUPTS. JOHN QUY, cattle dealer, Mark's-hall, Essex, to surrender Sept. 12, at one, and Oct, .18, at half-past eleven, at the Court of Bankruptcy.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. happy condition, that these happy topics can honestly and with truth be put forward in a royal address. It is not, however, pretended that our social state admits of no improvement ; many improvements in that state are called for, but they must be gradually adopted, that they may not let in greater evils than they can cure. And, not withstanding the slighting way in which the Times speaks of the work of the session, we contend that more has been done in the last session to promote the prosperity of the country, than in any ten sessions before Sir Robert Peel's coming into office. We are not now going to enumerate all these measures ; and it is quite unnecessary, for the achievements of legislation are to be measured, not by tale, but by weight, and one good measure may preponderate over one hundred of inferior importance and value.

We have heard that the infant Prince will receive the Christian names of " Alfred Frederick," but nothing positive has been publicly an nounced. All paid DIRECT RAILWAY FROM LON DON TO YORK. A great sensation was yesterday produced in the railway world, by the announcement that the Direc tors of the Wakefield, Lincoln. and Boston Rail way have united with the promoters of the pro posed London and York Direct Railway, and that the latter line, as surveyed by Mr. Locke, will be brought before Parliament in the ensuing session, supported by a majority of the Hoose of Com mons and favoured by the Government. A union ' with the Wakefield, Lincoln, and Boston Railway will, in fact, be a union with the powerful and wealthy Manchester, Leeds, and Hull line; and it appears that the condition on which the Wake field directors have consented to transfer their subscriptions and coalesce with the London and York is, that the entire scheme o f th e Wakefield, Lincoln, and Boston Railway, both as to its connexion with the town of Wake field and occupation of the Foss and Witham Banks to Boston, form a part of the undertaking; and that the line joins the Hull and Selby line at the latter town, and from thence direct to York, which, they confidently state, will make the most extended and complete railway communication presented to the public, at once bringing the great manufac turing and agricultural portions of the kingdom into railway communication with each other, as well as with the metropolis, reducing the distance of th e principal to wns i n Yorkshire and the north from 10 to 35 miles with London, while the natural facilities for its formation are such as to insure its completion, at a cost of little more than one-third the amount ex pended on existing railways connecting Yorkshire and the north of England and Scotland with London. The entire line from London to York wil not have a greater deviation from a dead level than 1 in 800 ; it will contain neither a tunnel nor a bank, or cut ting exceeding 13 feet ; and it is estimated that in its construction, and in providing the working stock, the advantage of being guided by the experience and warned by the errors of others will be equivalent to a saving of nearly 2,000,0001. The united Companies are determined to bring into operation upon the new line all the latest improvements in railway locomotion ; the car riages, waggons, and engines are all to be of the most approved construction ; and this, combined with the favourable gradients, will, it is added, secure a ra t e of speed that may b e fairly averaged at thirty-five miles per hour. These are large promises, and in the case of parties unknown to the public they might be looked upon with suspicion ; but the character achieved fur themselves by the leading individuals in the new alliance, the directors of the Wak e fi e ld, Li nco l n , and Boston Railway, seems to set all doubt at rest. These gentlemen, as we have already stated, are also the directors of the Manchester, Leeds, and Hull Railway, which for cheapness of rates, and general attention to accommodation of all classes, not except ing the most humble of the population, stands second to no similar undertaking in the country. It first set the example of low fares, and it has carried the plan out with undeviating constancy, until all the great lines have been obliged to follow in its wake. The direct York line will have its terminus at King's-cross. COURSE OF EXCH.

The Average Price of Brown or Muscovado Sugar, for the week ending Sept. 3, 1844, is 30s. 101 d. per cwt., exclusive of the Duties of Customs paid or payable thereon on the im portation thereof into Great Britain. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of Sept. 6.) SUGAR.-The market has presented a firmer appear ance this week fur all descriptions of raw Sugar admissi ble for home consumption, and merchants have offered only a limited quantity at public sale. There has been a large amount of business transacted in all descriptions of West India Muscovado, grocers and refiners having been free purchasers at prices equal to those of Friday last. To-day West India Sugar was in excellent request for all purposes ; importers manifested firmness and ob tained rather higher rates, making the advance for the week 6d, and in some c ises is per cwt ; the rise is more apparent on the low and middling yellow sorts. The total purchases for the week amount to 2,500 hhds and trcs. REFINED.-Prices have advanced for Refined goods this week, and a brik demand has prevailed for all de scriptions from the home trade ; the quantity of Sugar remaining undisposed of is small, in consequence of the immense quantity taken by the trade during the last two weeks.

She said she had been robbed in a tavern in High-street, Glasgow, of all her property, consisting of 2501. in cash, a fine silk plaid, and other articles, which accounted for the rather shabby shawl she then wore. The money, the plaid, and the thieves, she slid, had been discovered—the thieves in prison, and the plaid and money kept as evidence against them. She further said she was niece to a highly respectable gen tleman in Hurlet. With the exception of her shawl she was otherwise genteelly dressed in a fine brown silk gown and Tuscan bonnet. The people on whom she called acted the part of good Samaritans. Some of the family about four o'clock in the morning discovered she had been able to resume her journey, carrying with her 5/ Bs., which her kind entertainers had scraped toge ther. The woman has not since been heard of.—Glas gew Courier. FOREBODINGS or WINTER.—On Sunday evening, a large flock of wild geese passed over Chesterfield, on their way, it is supposed, to the fens of Lincolnshire. Such a circumstance, at this early period of the season, was hardly ever known, and it is considered to forebode an early and severe winter.—Nottingham Review. EXPORTATION OF MACHINERY. —The exportation o ;lace machinery to France is again in operation. The exporters allege that it is done to evade the patent laws, and that the National Institute of Paris levies a duty of 50 per cert., but if the machinery is upon a new prin ciple not known in France, the duty is only 15 per cent., as heretofore.—Nottingham Review. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARYLEBONE. Yesterday a young woman, named Em'na Tierbuck, in the service o f B en j am i n B a d ger, E sq., a b arr i ster, re siding at No. 22, Cambridge-street, Edgware-road, was brought up in custody and placed at the bar before Mr. Rawlinson, charged with having stolen articles of jewel lery and other property of much value. Prosecutor deposed that the prisoner had been about six months in his family as cook. On the same morning (yesterday) he missed a silver thistle, and suspecting that she (prisoner) was the thief, he, accompanied by Mrs. Badger, went to her and desired that her boxes might be searched, but she objected to that being done unless in the presence of a policeman. A constable was accordingly sent for, and on his arrival the said boxes were opened, when a great quantity of property belong ing to prosecutor and a young lady, the governess, was found there and in other parts of her (prisoner's) room. When her guilt was detected she begged for forgiveness, and promised that in the event of her offence being looked over she would be a " good girl" all the days of her life. Sergeant Walker, 5 D, produced a gold seal, ring, brooch, and the silver thistle before alluded to, together with a number of tableforks, and a quantity of tea, sugar, soap, and other things, many of which were dis covered secreted under the prisoner's bed. On witness telling her (prisoner) that she was in charge for the robbery, and must go to the station-house, she exclaimed, " Oh, what a foolish girl I am, and I wish I may die before I get there." She fell upon her knees, crying, and several times kissed a letter which she had recently received from her mother. Mr. Badger identified a great portion of the property brought forward as being his, and the prisoner, who had nothing to say, was fully committed to Newgate for trial. UNION-HALL. _ _ Yesterday, Sarah Drew, a woman advanced in years, was brought before Mr. Cottingham, charged with ad ministering poison to Richard Drew, her husband, with intent to deprive him of life. The complainant, who is also advanced in life, and very sharp, stated that he keeps a circulating library at 3, Castle-street, Kent-street, and that the prisoner occu pied a room up stairs, but did not take her meals with him ; that she was in the habit of quarrelling with him, being of a very violent temper, and that was the reason , they did not live together in the house, she occupying a room up stairs, and he allowed her a weekly sum of money to support herself. On the preceding day, he sold a small chest of drawers, that he did not require, to his son, and this gave great offence to the prisoner, who came down from her own room, and began to abuse him, and while he was afterwards assisting his son to take away the drawers, the prisoner, from an up-stairs room, intentionally dropped a heavy piece of wood on his head from the window. The same afternoon, she (prisoner) came down into the parlour, where he was preparing his tea, and began to abuse him for selling the drawers, during which a customer came into the shop. He took the teapot off the table, and placed it on the grate by the fire side, while he went into the shop to attend upon the customers, and on his return into the room the prisoner was still there, and he took the teapot and poured out a cup of tea, and when he had taken two draughts he experienced a burning sensation in his mouth and throat, and immediately began to vomit. He complained to the prisoner of his sensations, saying he was certain there was something wrong, but, instead of procur ing anything for him to abate the sickness, the prisoner seemed rejoiced at his sufferings, and ejaculated that she hoped he would throw up his heart, and used other language of a similar description. She then left the room and went up stairs, when soon after her departure he perceived a piece of paper on the spot where the prisoner had pre viously stood, and on opening it he found it to contain a lump of white stuff resembling chalk in its appearance, and on pouring the remains of the tea out of the cup into a saucer, he discovered a quantity of white sedi ment at the bottom of the cup. This convinced him that poison had been thrown into the teapot while he was ab sent in the shop, and as there was no other person in the room but his wife, he concluded that she had put it there. As he still continued very ill, retching violently, he and his son proceeded, without loss of time, to Mr. Maize, chemist, of 274, Kent-street, and having exhi bited the sediment left in the cup, and also the paper containing the lump of white stuff, they were pronounced to be arsenic. He was still suffering from the effects of what he had drunk, and an antidote having been admi nistered, he recovered sufficiently to be enabled to attend the court that day, although he was still far from being well. In reply to Mr. COTTINGIIA.SI the complainant said that ;here was no person but his wife in the parlour when he went to attend on the customer; that he made the tea himself, and was confident the teapot was quite clean at the time; that he recollected now that his wife said on his entering the room from the shop, taking up the teacup, "This will be the signal for your whores, youl old serpent." She made no remark when he was pouring out the tea, but was usin g a b us i ve l anguage when heb commenced drinking it, and, amongst other things, said that she hoped it might bring up his heart, when he be gan to get sick and retch; that while he was sick she came down stairs with a stuffed bird, which he kept in a case in one of the rooms, and threw it at his heal, and again repeated her abusive language, but did not attempt to give him anything to assuage the burning sensation and sickness which he felt. Mr. Col-mai:tam—Was she sober ?—Perfectly so. Mr. COTTINGIIAM—Has she ever threatened you be fore? Complainant--Yes. She has sworn that she would get hanged for me before long. Not a week ago she made use of that threat. After some further evidence, Mr. COTTINGHAM, addressing the prisoner, said that the charge against her was one that affected her life, and that at the present stage of the inquiry he would recom mend her not to say anything in answer to it ; and that having given her that caution, she h owever might uze her own discretion, but that she was to remember that whatever she did say would be taken down, and probably used hereafter as evidence against her. The prisoner said—l put myself in the hands of the Lord. All I have to say at present is, that I am inno cent of the charge. Mr. COTTINGUAM said that he should remand the pri soner until next Wednesday, and in the meantime he directed that every exertion should be used by the police to trace out where the arsenic was purchased. WANDS WORTH. Hannah Hogan, the young woman who was charged at Wandsworth Police -court with creating a disturbance at the ho use o f h er late master, Mr. Gray, No. 7, Dorset terrace, Clapham-road, and who was afterwards charged with attempting to drown herself, was yesterdayi emoved to Peckham Lunatic Asylum a confirmed mani ac . LAMBE NIS TRE E T. James Smith, a labouring man, residing at No. 2, James-street, Commercial-road was charged with com mitting a most dreadful assault on James Deans, in the Commercial -road, by stabbing him in the thigh with a knife, by which means he inflicted a serious wound, and the prosecutor lost a large quantity of blood. The prosecutor, who appeared to labo ur un d er the serious effects of iis un-English mode of attacking an adversary, stated that on Wednesday evening, about seven o'clock, he was proceeding along the Commercial road with a truck, on which was placed some timber. The prisoner, who knew the prosecutor, was passing at the time, and called after him, " Captain," which the prisoner well knew would be a source of annoyance—the prisoner called after him Captain several times, and which lie was continually in the habit of doing, for the purpose of annoying him. The prisoner still persisting in the annoyance, he turned round and struck hire. when the prisoner, who had a clasped knife in his hand, aimed a blow at his stomach, and swore " he would rip his guts open." The prisoner missed his aim, but at the same time stabbed him in the right knee, by which means he inflicted a most severe wound, and the prosecutor fainted from loss of blood ; the prisoner then coolly wiped his knife, and said if he dared to strike him again, " he would rip him well up." The prisoner was then re moved. 26s per cwt for Carolina. SALTPETRE.—This afternoon, Rough met with less attention, 360 bags ntion,an were disposedbagsdofls2Bof of at C 25a adr middlingatfopublic sale, only dingy dry grey, 5/- per cent. refraction, and unrefracted 245, being rather under former rates ; the remainder was all taken in at 26s 6d to 27s for fine strong grey, 41 to 31 per cent, refraction. COCHINEAL.—There has been an increased demand, and the rates previously established are fully supported : Honduras at auction went at 4s 5d to 5s Id for very ordi nary damp to very fine bold silvers, and 8 bags black at 5s 4d to 5s 9d per lb for middling to good. INDIGO.—A favourable opinion is still entertained to wards East Indigo; for good and fine descriptions of Bengal the demand is brisk for exportation, and the rates paid are fully equal to those of the last qutrterly sale, and in some cases rather above. For picked lots buyers are compelled to pay an advance of 2d to 4d per lb. Madras, Oudes, and Kurpah are wanted, but of such the supply is scanty. The quantity of Indigo sold d , ring the past month was large, amounting to 1400 j *PAS, and was taken chiefly by exporters. OLGO.---There has been little business transacted in any description of common Fish Oils this week; some raporters are inclined to realise, and have accepted LLOYD'S SHIPPING. THE PALMYRA—LONDON TO CHINA. As fears are entertained in private circles that some accident has occurred to the Palmyra, Captain Campbell, which sailed from London on the Bth of November last, for China, it will be satisfactory to those interested in her safety, and who have relations on board, to know that there is no apprehension entertained at Lloyd's, or in commercial circles, as to her having received damage, or otherwise. It will be no less satisfactory to such per sons to learn, that accounts of her having arrived at Hong-Kong are looked for by the Overland Mail, now hourly expected. The Palmyra had, besides other cargo, a quantity of Government stores, and amongst her pas sengers several officers, newly appointed to certain official stations at the lately-acquired English posses sion in China. NOTICE TO MARINERS. ALTERATION IN THE LIGHT OF FAKKEB JERG, ISLAND OF LANGELAND. Admiralty, Sept. 2, 1844. Sir,--I am commanded by my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to acquaint you, for the information of the Committee for managing the affairs of Lloyd's, that the light of Fakkebjerg, on the south point cf the is land of Langeland, Denmark, has been strengthened by additional lamps, by order of the Danish Government, by which means it will be rendered visible at the distance at which it was originally intended.—l am, Sir, your very obedient, humble servant, (Signed) W. Dobson, Esq., Lloyd's. JOHN BARROW, DEATH OF THE GIPSY KING. A few days since, died, near Beaulieu, Joseph Lee, the acknowledged monarch of that mysterious class of people, the Gipsies. He was a native of Brocken burst, in the New Forest, and was, it is said, in his eighty-sixth year. He was the progenitor of a long line of descendants, having left behind him a large assemblage of aged children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. He is reported to have died worth a great deal of money. Indeed some years ago, when Charity Lee was married to one of the Stanleys, old Joseph Lee presented her upon the occasion with one hundred spade guineas, besides trinkets, and several pieces of plate furniture. About sixty years ago he was in the habit of travelling the country around Southampton, Ramsey, Lymington, and Ringwood, as a razor-grinder, and was well known in those neighbourhoods under the sobriquet of Gipsey Joe. It is observed that "Joe" in his day had dabbled in almost every department of the Black art, and with the exception of having upon three or four oc casions mistook his way into Winchester gaol, he had managed to play his cards with more than ordinary suc cess. He was the boon companion of the notorious Peter Warren and Billy Dear, the two greatest contraband adventurers that ever risked life and property in the pursuit of hazardous and perilous undertakings on the South-Western coasts of England. The prodigious freights of illicit spirits this gang used to work some fifty years since is incalculable. Sometimes they would be accidentally met with a caravan of one hun dred ponies and upwards, laden with tubs, passing into the forest, where they were wont to conceal the traffic until a favourable opportunity presented itself to them to remove the same with safety to some more inland mart for the sale of it. Nor were the " Wal tham Blacks " in their day more formidable for deer stealing in Waltham Chase than was Gipsy Joe and his party in the New Forest. Smuggling, deer steal ing, poaching, and occasionally selling a few ponies at the various fairs, were Joe's mottled avocations. His artifices and manoeuvres were so skilfully managed, that he successfully eluded the vigilance of the New Forest keepers, and no farm- house larder lacked a haunch of venison when Gipsy Joe was at hand. He was in the forest what Jonathan Wild waa on the town —up to every trick, and down upon every move. In his political adminis tration he was remarkable for one act which took place in his reign, viz., that of excommunicating, in person, about three years ago, a gipsey of the name of Lee, from the sybilline fraternity, for some act the latter had committed against the rules and regulations of the order. The ceremony was performed before a very large assembly of the various tribes, and though extremely novel, had a very imposing effect. EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDES IN SUFFOLK. The suicide of the Earl of Stradbroke's head game keeper was announced in T/ee Sun this week. Scarcely had the sensation caused by the act somewhat abated, than the neighbourhood of Henham-park was thrown into a renewed state of excitement by the report that axother of the Noble Earl's keepers had destroyed him self. The situation held by this second suicide was de scribed as that of superintendent of the other game keepers, including among his duties the supervision of the horses, dogs, &c., belonging to the Earl of Strad broke. His name was Cruxey ; and from the few facts that are to be gathered from the many rumours, it would appear that on Sunday afternoon (but little more than 24 hours after the frightful death of his fellow-servant) the unhappy man went into the lower apartment of his own cottage, situate in the park, and with his gun de liberately shot himself. At the time of the act one of his Lordship's grooms was lying in the room imme diately above that in which it was committed, confined to his bed from the effects of a serious accident he had met with but a short time since. Many rumours are about professing to account for the melancholy deed with respect both to Cruxey and Easey, neither of whom seem to have had any domestic incentive to the com mission of so rash an act. Cruxey had been seen but a few minutes previous to his death in excellent spirits. One report attributes the death of both to their anxiety and dread of meeting their master (who was expected at Henham-park on Saturday, on his return from his Irish estates, but who is not now looked for till this week), fearing his anger that such extensive depredations should have been allowed among his preserves as have lately thinned the numbers of his pheasants, &c. Another rumour states that Cruxey had robbed Easey's portion of the pre serves o f many pheasant's eggs, &c., and laid them und er t h e birds on his cover, so as to figure before the Noble Earl as the more prosperous and worthy steward ; the conse quence of these acts was the suicide of Easey f rom vexa tion, and the subsequent imitation of his rash example by Cruxey, who feared that all would transpire and his delinquencies be detected. He did not bear so good a character as the head keeper did. A third cause as signed is, that both the deceased have for some time past been carrying on a system of plunder ; robbing their master's preserves, and sending the game to market for sale. It is supposed that the inquest which was to have been held on Easey's body on Monday will have been postponed to allow of both examinations taking place on the same day, many of the witnesses in the one case be ing equally necessary to the othe r . A t hi r d suicide has just been committed in the vicinity of Halesworth. The unfortunate individual in this instance is a young lady named Burgess, who possessed co ns id era bl e personal at tractions. She is said to have, been excited to the fatal act by disappointment in love. She effected her purpose by throwing herself into the river about a mile below the town. These m e l anc h o l y occurrenees so rapidly succeeding each other have naturally caused a great and painful sensation and regret here. LOUIS PHILIPPE AND LADY ALDBOROUGIL—One of our Paris letters contains . the following instance of gallantry on the part of his Majesty the King of the French, for the truth of which the writer pledges him self :—"On Thursday or Friday last Lady Aldborough (who, if any lady ever was old, conies into that cate pry) wrote to King Louis Philippe, begging his Ma jesty would have the kindness to inform her was war imminent ? The King delayed not a moment to reply to her Ladyship, through his first aide-de-camp, that she might make her mind perfectly easy. No war be tween France and England was imminent, nor indeed likely." THE HORRORS OF A DEPARTURE.---" Your letter found 'us in what have been termed, with scarcely any exaggeration, the horrors of depart ure .' All the callings, the leave-takings, the apologies for the omission of both, and all the other external and internal variety and complication of social contrivances for manifesting civility, and wasting time, and diminishing comfort ; and, to close the whole, bill upon bill, and new claims coming forward, when you supposed all had been satis fied, while the supplies which you expected to carry away with you grow less and less, and you doubt whe ther you shall have enough to go off like an honest man." —Letter from Wilberforce to one of his Children. STATE OF TRADE.—SOUTH SHIELDS. ---Tll O ship. ping interest in South Shields, during the last two or three weeks, has undergone a complete reaction. Freights, from being a losing affair, are rising up to the average of the best times. During the last two years, they have, in the coal trade, fluctuated between five and six shillings per ton, and they have now risen to eight and nine shillings. The continental trade is in the same excellent condition.

Ladies travelling, or temporarily subjected to any deviation of equable temperature, will find in Rowland's Kalydor a renovating and refreshing auxiliary, dispel ling the cloud of langour from the complexion, and immediately affording the pleasing sensation attending restored elasticity of the akin. The distressing and unsightly varieties of cutaneous eruptions are also promptly eradicated by the Kalydor. Spots, pimples, freckles, discolourations, and sallowness, yield to its specific qualities, and are succeeded by a smoothness and transparency of the skin, giving rise to sensations of the utmost pleasure and surpr i se . Its universally great de mand excites the cupidity of unprincipled shopkeepers, who give the title of "Genuine" Kalydor to some com pounds of their own manufacture, of the most deleterious character, containing mineral astringents utterly ruinous j to the complexion, and by their repellant action endanger ing health. It is, therefore, imperative on purchasers to I see that the words " Rowland's. Kalydor" are o n t h e wrapper.
