The line from Worcester, with a branch to the Severn, is in tended to pass near the towns of Pershore, Evesham, Stratford.on- Avon, Banbury, Bicester, and Aylesbury, and to join the London and Birmingham Railway in the vicinity of Tring, which has been found, on the whole, to be a more desirable point of junction for public; accommodation than Weedon. The line from Rugby to Oxford is intended to pass also by way of Banbury, and will form, for about twenty miles, a portion of the main line from Worcester to Tring. Whilst Worcester by these means will be brought within a distance of 119 miles of the terminus of the London and Birming. ham Railway at Euston.square, the intermediate country will be connected by the proposed line to Rugby with the eastern side of the kingdom. On the other hand, Birmingham and the midland and northern counties will be thus directly connected with Oxford and the south ; and, as a necessary result, the London and Bir.. mingham Railway Company will effect a junction of their existing Warwick and Leamington branch with the proposed lines. Accurate surveys of the country have been made under the di. rection and personal superintendence of Mr. Robert Stephenson, who reports that it is free from any considerable engineering dif. flculties. Estimates of the traffic has been prepared, showing a return upon the expenditure sufficient to induce the Directors of the London and Birmingham Company to lease the line In perpetuity, which they have agreed to do, with a guarantee of 4 per cent. per annum to the Proprietors upon the outlay, and half the surplus profits. A moiety of the shares is reserved for the Proprietors of the London and Birmingham Company ; and the remainder will be alloted to parties having local interests, and other applicants. Interest, at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, will be paid half yearly on the Deposits and Calls, from the time of payment. Applications for shares may be made to the solicitors, or to the following sharebrokers :—Messrs. Foster and Braithwaite, Old Broad.street, Mr. Robert William Moore, Threadneedle-street, London ; Mr. Samuel Woods, jun., Liverpool; or Mr. James Pearson, Birmingham. FORM OF APPLICATION. I request you will allot me Shares in the Worcester and London, and Rugby and Oxford Railway, on the conditions of the Prospectus, and I agree to take such Shares, and to pay the De posit, and sign the Subscribers' Agreement, and Parliamentary Contract when required. _ _ Dated. -1844.

Western Corn. pany, upon terms highly advantageous to the interests of this Corn. pany. The South-Western Company have guaranteed their friendly co-operation and support to this Company, both in obtain. ing the Parliamentary sanction to this undertaking, and in carrying into execution the plans proposed for securing to this Company the best terminus it is possible to obtain in the metropolis. The amount of capital already subscribed is amply sufficient to meet all the expenses that have to be incurred according to the most liberal estimate; and the Subscribers' Contracts, with other necessary deeds, have been extensively signed by the holders of the Scrip, both in London and the country. The following are the resolutions passed at a General Meeting of the Provisional Committee, held at the office, on the :13d of October instant, relative to the negotiations which have been for some time carried on with the South-Western Company : It was resolved—" That the proposals now made by the South. Western Company are, in the opinion of this meeting, equitable and advantageous to the interests of this Company, and that the same be approved and adopted by this Committee." Sir W. CLAY having left the Chair, It was resolved unanimously—" That the thanks of this meet ing be given to Sir W. Clay for Isis kind services in the chair at the meetings of this Committee." W. CHADWICK, Esq., having been called to the Chair, The following resolutions were unanimously agreed to:— " That it be referred to the Sub. Committee to carry into effect the present agreement with the South-Western Company as soon as possible." " That the best thanks of this Committee arc due to W. Chad wick, Esq., for his unremitted exertions in bringing the negotia tions with the South-Western Company to a prosperous conclusion, which circumstance is not only the surest mode of securing to this Company success in Parliament, but, in the opinion of this Com mittee, will ensure a more certaint amount of profit."

The rising sun dispels the hazy fog, The rigid hoarfrost melts upon the ground ; And, hung on every spray, on every blade, The myriad dewdrops sparkle all around I In presenting before my distinguished patrons my arrangements and extensive preparations for the present season, I consider it first a paramount duty, combined with a positive pleasure, to return my sincere thanks for the continued success which has for many years enabled me to produce such novelties as have been entirely unprecedented, and which have given to my numerous establish. ments, both in England and Scotland, a character hitherto un paralleled in the annals of clothing. Immense patronage dentands the most decisive proofs of grati tude and respect ; and to those who so nobly supported me through out a long career of mercantile enterprise, I beg leave most respect fully to tender my grateful acknowledgments. My arrangements (or the present season ale now approaching to a completion, and combine Vesting of exquisite beauty and shade, In countless profusion are tastefully Jaid ; The richest designs which the loom can supply Delight every fancy, and please every eye! . . In the tour which I have recently made throughot the English, Scottish, and Continental markets, I have selected upwards of 6,000 of the most magnificent designs in Vestings, which cannot be obtained by any other house in the kingdom. The " principal styles'.' are entirely my own property, and can only be seen at my establishments; and although I have adopted this novel method of securing the most recherche designs, yet economy will be found blended with their extreme beauty and durability. The materials which I have selected for Trouserings combine every novelty yet introduced into this country; the Stock being truly immense, and the patterns so much diversified, it ensures to every one the cer. tainty of being pleased. Again, the magnificent display of Materials for Over Coat., For every age and station, Are such as must excite in all The meed of approbation! In the above useful garments I have introduced a variety of new and beautiful features, and amongst the many novelties may be enumerated the Glenlyon Driving Coat, the Parisian Envelope, the Albert Riding and the Waterford Walking Coats. Now these arc entirely new, and different to any style yet introduced, and will be found to possess the gentlemanly appearance so much admired amongst the haut ton. Combining, as my establishments do, the most recherche designs, the greatest novelties, the most scientific cutters and experienced workmen, and yet, from my immense purchases, being enabled to sell forty per cent. under the usual prices, I venture to hope for the kind continuance of the favours of my distinguished patrons ; whilst no future efforts of mine shall he wanting to merit their generous support.-1 have the hon ur to be the public's obliged servant, L. lIYAM.

THE hard substance obtained by pressure from the Crude Cocoa-Nut Oil, is an essential ingredient in the PA TENT COMPOSITE CANDLES; and, as EDWARD PRICE and CO., hold the Patents for this process, and grant no licenses under them, it follows, either, that the imitation Composite Candles are entirely different from the Patent otter, or, that the imitators are infringing the Patents : the first is generally the case, but to protect themselves against the possibility of the other, EDWARD PRICE and CO. hereby engages to pay a reward of Fifty Pounds to any workman or other person, who may give such information respecting parties pressing Cocoa-Nut Oil, as shall lead to their conviction. The name of the informant will be kept strictly secret, and he need not take a prominent part in the proceedings, as all that E. P. and Co. require is the first clue to the discovery of the infringers, which they will then follow up for themselves. This advertisement is being pub lished in every newspaper of any circulation in the United Kingdom. The Candles are Now so wellknown to the Public, that it is hardly necessary to state here that they burn more brilliantly than the best wax, and give so large an amount of light, as to be cheaper, taking this into account, than the commonest Tallow Candles. They may b e h a d of most of the re.spectable Tallow Chandlers throughout the kingdom; but purchasers must insist on being supplied with " PRICE'S PATENT CANDLES," otherwise they arc liable to be deceived with some of the imitations, all called, like the real ones, " Composite." Those parties, really in the trade, who do not yet keep them for sale, arc informed that they can purchase, of the Pa tentees, or of Palmer and Co., Sutton-street, Clerkenwell, any quan tity, t r h i e t 7 , , 11 t o o l t p , s a a r l t e i e p s r t ic a e k and u w n a t n o c r e s 5 o tt r l e rtlliOtao3ll,lthe . e , l l nr s g o 'el / n . o , ri o n r scm:l 2001., r at a time; and a very large allowance indeed to parties taking so large a quantity as to enable them to become whole sale agents for an entire district.

" The Authors of ' The Silent Friend,' seem to be thoroughly conversant with the treatment of a class of complaints which are, we fear, too prevalent in the present day.

The Loan MAYOR, in a crimson velvet robe and collar of S S, on horseback, and bearing the City sward of state, attended by three footmen in liveries. His Lord Ship will immediately precede HER MAJESTY. The joint Committee of the Corporation and of the Mercers' Company, attended by Mr. Tite, the architect of the new Royal Exchange, were en gage d at Mercers'- hall to a late hour on Wednesday, in arranging the ne cessary preliminaries for tire reception of her Majesty. It is understood, however, that considerable difference of opinion existed among them with respect to several im portant details connected with that event, and the bal lotting glasses were on several points called into requisi tion. The tesselated pavement in the centre of the grand quadrangle was on Wednesday completed. All ob structions necessary to the completion of the works were entirely removed from the portico and the vicinity of the grand western entrance of the Exchange, and already workmen have commenced the arrangement of the tables and chairs for the dejeuner, and which continued to arrive in ran loads throughout the da). The order issued is for the accommodation of 1,500 persons. The pavement on the northern side of the Exchange, facing Bartholomew-lane, is now completed, and Cornhill, which has been for some time blocked up for the pur pose of laying down the wood paving, has now been thrown open to the public. Now that the whole of the scaffolding and other obstructions are cleared away, the splendid encaustic painting of the Merchants'-walk ap pears to great advantage, and gives to the entire build ing a light and very pleasing •effect. The great gallery erected on the summit of the, Bank of England, for the accommodation of the Directors and their friends to witness the reception of her Majesty on her arrival, is now covered in with a thick roofing of tarpauling, and is fast approaching completion. It is understood that it will be fitted up with drapery, and will present a very pleasinc , appearance. The galleries around St. Paul's Churchyard, and all the other places along the line of route, are also rapidly progressing, and great pre parations are now manifesting themselves for an illumi nation in honour of the event. It is now arranged that the horses on which the Aldermen and the members of the Gresham Committee are to ride in the procession will be supplied from the Royal Artillery. The Subscription-room of Lloyd's, in which, as wo have previously stated, the royal entertainment is to take place, is in a very forward state, most of the tem porary decorations having been finished. It is now in tended to have four tables, instead of three, as was at first contemplated, in addition to that at which the Queen and Prince Albert are to partake of the dejeuner. The south end of the banquetting-room has been hung with crimson draperies, festooned at the top in gracend folds. There is an enormous mirror, and the royal arms sur mount it, denoting the place at which her Majesty is to preside at the festive table. On each side of the large looking-glass it is proposed to have the British standard and ensigns. The royal table at 'the south of4d of the room is to be on a raised flooring, so that her Majesty, and the distinguished personages selected for the honour of meeting the Sovereign at luncheon, shall be so situated as to command an uninterrupted view or the room when the whole of the company have assembled, for it is determined there is not to be a throne or canopy in that room, but merely two gilt state chairs for the Quern and her Royal Consort. The doffs, the o r r o r o e nl i raised to r flooring, is to be covered with rich carp eting, be covered generally by a le ss costly material. ate_rial. The library, or reading-room, is to be appropriated as an au dience chamber or throne-room, in which her Majesty is to receive the City address. The arrangement is at length completed between M. Laurent and Jullien for the opening of the prome nade ooncerts at Covent Garden. They will commence on the 15th of November, and positively close a n th o 15th of December. After that period dramatlo perform ances will be attempted. Wo believe a foreign company is already engaged. DIABOLICAL ATTEMPT TO BURN THE BARQUE HERINIES,- OF LIVERPOOL. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY. — Considerable sensation was excited in Liverpool yesterday morning by a ru mour, for which, unfortunately, there was but too much foundation, that an attempt had been made by one of the crew, named Henry Brown, without any conceivable reason, to burn the barque Hermes, Capt. Donough, about nine miles off Holyhead. This fine first-class vessel, 241 tons, the owners of which are Messrs. Tayleur and - Co., general merchants, of this town, sailed from Liverpool on Friday last for Buenos Ayres ; and, when the dreadful attempt to destroy her had been made, about six o'clock on the morning of Sunday, she was put about and brought back to Liverpool, where she arrived on Monday afternoon. Brown, who is a native of Sweden, and an athl e ti c fellow, of middl e age an d ordinary height, was imme diately given into custody, and brought before Mr. Rushton yesterday for examination. He was dressed in a blue pilot cloth coat, spoke English tolerably well, and was undefended. The first witness examined was a sailor on board the Hermes, of the nam e o f P arry, w h o sa i d : About half-past six o'clock on Sunday morning last, I saw the prisoner rummaging about the forecastle. He took a box of matches out of one of the chests, and tore a leaf out of a book. He took the leaf out of a book belonging to a seaman named Lamas; and he also took a leaf out of a book belonging to me. He then went and took the scuttle out, rolled the sheet of paper up, struck a snatch, and lit it. Im mediately after, he went down into the forefoot, came up again, stood on the edge of the scuttle, and said, " By—, he would either sink her or burn her." He put the scuttle on carefully, and placed the bar over it. About half-past nine o'clock, three hours after, the men went up to reef the topsails, and when they came down there was a smoke in the forecastle. After the ship was put about on the other tack, .the smoke came up out of the scuttle. One of the sea men, James Cowan, gave the alarm, and the captain, mate, and second mate went down into the forecastle, where they discovered a fire. The chief reason I did not tell the captain before of what was said and done was because I was unwell in my hammock. The prisoner, in reply to Mr. Rushton, here said that he was not an Englishman, that he was a Swede, but that he understood the purport of the evidence. Witness, in continuation, observed that he was an apprentice on board, and that no one saw the prisoner take the match and strike the light but himself. He had had no quarrel with the prisoner, nor had the latter any dispute with anybody on board the ship. The prisoner —Why should I go to your box for matches when I had plenty of my own ? Witness—l don't know. You struck the light against the side of the forecastle and put the box of matches into the chest, from which you had taken them when you got one of them out. James Cowan examined—l am a seaman on board this vessel. The prisoner asked me where was Isaac (another seaman). I belonged to the prisoner's watch, so also did the last witness, who had pains in his legs nearly all the time. About five minutes after I had been in bed in the forecastle I heard the pri soner knocking about. What he was doing I know not. It was about a quarter past six o'clock at the time. I did not hear him say anything except to ask for Isaac. The last witness did not tell me anything, when I awoke. I found the. prisoner lying down when I awoke. He was lying either on a chest or in his hammock, but it was so dark that I was unable to see distinctly. The chests are all placed round the forecastle, on their sides. Lamas's chest was on the larboard side of the vessel, right aft, next the bulk head. The last witness lay in a hammock from the top of the forecastle. The prisoner's hammock was slung on the larboard side. The first time I heard of this was about nine o'clock, after we had put the ship about. I had been on deck about an hour at that time. The prisoner was on deck at that time also. The first witness (Parry) was the only person left in the forecastle. I smelt the fire when I went below at nine o'clock. I was the first man down. I smelt it before anybody told me of it, and I gave the alarm, and brought the captain, mates, and carpenter, to the forecastle. All this time we were looking about the forecastle for the fire. Parry was still in bed. I heard Parry calling the mate once or twice. Parry knew nothing of the fire till I gave the alarm. I said some cotton must be burning, but Parry said it was not cotton. He did not tell me what was burning, nor where it was. He said nothing more. The scuttle was taken off, and a greardeal of smoke came out. I looked down to see the blaze, and myself and one or two snore went on deck, got some water down, and extinguished it. At breakfast I said it was a strange thing how fire could have got down, to which the prisoner replied that sticks or anything would strike a light by rubbing against each other. While he and I were talking together, the captain came forward and accused him. This was about half-past nine o'clock. The prisoner said he knew nothing about it, spoke saucily, and asked why the captain should accuse him more than any other man on board. Nicholas Donough examined—l am master of the Hermes. About half-past nine o'clock on Monday morning the mate gave me the alarm of fire, and I went down in the forecastle. On going down I saw the smoke coming up. There was a small scuttle made for the water there, and, on going down, I saw a tar barrel with the bung out, and flame coming out of the bunghole. About six feet further off it there was a bundle of oakum all on fire, which set fire to the forecastle deck. The tar barrel was bunged and quite safe before we left Liverpool. I then called the first witness, and said, that if any one know of the fire he must be the man, as he was in the forecastle all night. Parry then said, that he saw the prisoner go down the forepeak, take a box of matches out of Lamas's chest, and a sheet of paper out of another, and light the paper and go down into the forepeak. I asked him why he did not tell me about it at once ? to which he replied, that he had no idea that the prisoner was going to set fire to anything, and that that was the reason he neglected to tell me before. Ile said, he thought the prisoner must have lost something, and that he wanted the light for the purpose of finding it. It WaS about ten o'clock when I questioned Parry. John Lamas examined—My chest was about mid, ship in the forecastle. I left it open on Saturday night, with the key in it. There were some books in it, five or six. The books are at present on board the ship. There were six boxes of matches in the bottom of the chest. and one box at the top. After the fire the latter box was brought aft to the captain, and I immediately identified it as mine. The captain recalled—l never had any quarrel with the prisoner, and received a good recommendation with him. The prisoner, in reply to the charge, made a long statement, in the course of which he said that Cowan took a leaf out to light his pipe with, and that after the fire a question was asked whether the cook or anybody else had been down with a light. Cowan here observed, that the part of this state ment relative to thq cook was true. The question was asked as to whether he had been down with a light. Constable Greaves said that, in his opinion, five pounds of oakum had been consumed ; and The captain said a couple of gallons of tar had been burnt. Greaves added, that a match which had not ignited was found on the tar barrel, and also a bit of wood burnt at both ends. The prisoner, at this stage of the proceedings, was ordered to be remanded until the next day.; CORONER'S INQUEST AT THE ETON UNION. WEDNESDAY, OCT. 23.—This aft ernoon an i nquest was held in the board-room of the Eton Union house, at Slough, before Mr. John Charsley, one of the coroners for the county of Bucks, an the body of an illegitimate male child, who died in the workhouse on Friday last, within '24 hours after its birth. The mother, a single woman named Martha Hitch, lived as cook in the servic e o f a ge n tleman at Slough of the name of Rigby, and was removed from that gentle man's house in an extraordinary manner, at the time, as iti s stated, she was enduring the pains of labour, o de i n at a late hour on Wednesday night , the 16 th inst. a Sh st o a r t t e ly me a n ft t e t r o h t e i r m a i r i r ia iri r a o l n a , t w t h h i e ch wo w r a k s ta hou k s e e n sh d e w m n h writing at the time, and of which the following Is an exact copy : " Martha Hitch states, that she was dragged out of bed by three or four men, at a late hour of the night (shout 9 o'clock), and forced by her master, Mr. liighy, to become an inmate of the Eton Union Worlzhouse, she having at the time wages due to amounting to between 3/. an d 41 ., a 0110, 7 :ter's salary, and bills paid on her m i s t ress ' a account, still (he. s N e v n o d ru h lo e t r wo l , ll in e7 st ead of tthoe r o i - , zl):x o d u o se f , lon le, or to a q4is statement h was not complied with." In conseluence her wish befotT thca bo4r4 of guardians . their weekly metet .av having been laid meet ing, held in the hoard-room of the day, and of further inquiries which they o c u au se se Y d e t s o e i r ): made into the treatment of the mother of the de ceased infant at so critical a period, the board re solved that a full investigation of all the eirturna stances should take place, and due notice of the death was forwarded to Mr. Charsley, at Beaconsfield, who caused a jury to be summoned at three o'clock in the afternoon. The first witness examined was Mrs. Caroline Aitken, the matron of the Eton Union, who deposed as fol lows :—Martha . Hitch, the mother of the deceased child, was brought to the workhouse in a fly, between nine and ten o'clock on 'Wednesday night, the 16th inst. She was accompanied by Mr. Brya n , a medical gentleman, the brother o f D r . B ryan, of Slough. ' A woman named Cripps rode in the fly with the mother. When she arrived she was in labour. She told me that she was taken with the pains of labour on that morning. She was carried up stairs into the lying-in ward by the man who drove the fly. Mr. Bryan said she was in labour. She appeared very ill and well vomiting. I remained with her in the ward during the greater part of that night, and until she was delivered, which was between six and seven o'cloc k the following evening. The child was found dead in the bed about two o clock the next afternoon. On being told the child was dead, I went into the ward, and found it under the clothes. Th e b o d y was then getting cold. I had no suspicion that the mother had behaved ill to the child. She said she came from Mr. Righy's, at Slough, and that she was dragged out of her bed in that gentleman's house by three or four men, and brought to the workho use . 11.1 r. Aitken, the master of the union, examined— At about a quarter past nine o'clock on Wednesday evening, the 16th instant, a gentleman named Bryan came to me, and said a woman was going to be brought here in a fly, who was in labour, and asked me if I would receive her without an order ? I replied that I could receive any person without an order, who was brought to the house in that condi tion. Ile then went away. In about a quarter of an hour afterwards the fly arrived with the mother of the deceased and Mrs. Cripps, who accompanied her. Mr. Bryan also came at the same time. The woman was carried up stairs into the lying-in ward by the fly man. I have not seen her since. Mr. Bryan told me that evening, in the hall, that she was Mr. liig hy's servant. , 10wi ew Susan AVOW*, one of th e inmateso of the work house, who acts in the capacity of nurse, deposed as follows :—Martha Hitch was brought up stairs to the lying-in ward in the arms of a young man, named William Renton, on Wednesday night. 'She was very sick, and I thought she was then in labour. She was put into bed directly. Mr. Bryan Caine 1% ith her. Mr. Ilanunond (the medical officer of the union) ar rived within about an hour afterwards, when Air. Bryan left. Mr. Bryan, when he came with her, said she must be taken care of, as she was in labour. Mr. Hammond remained with her until she was de livered, which was not until between six and seven o'clock the following evening. The child did not appear healthy ; the first night I did not think it would live. It took the breast from a woman who had been recently confined in the union, at noon the next day, when it appeared better. Rebecca Moody, another inmate of the workhouse, examined—l was in bed when Martha Hitch was brought into the ward. I immediately got up, in order that she might get into my bed, which was warm. She was vomiting when she was brought up into the room by William Henton. She was de livered about seven o'clock the next evening. The child died at about three o'clock the following after noon. It appeared to be a nice healthy child when born. I gave the child the breast the next day, about eleven o'clock, by desire of the matron. It then ap peared healthy; I put it into bed by the side of its mother. I laid it down so that I could see its face, • and that it could br ea th e . A t three o ' clock that afternoon, when the mother asked me to turn her over in bed, I saw that the child (which was lying on its mother's arm, with its face uppermost, so that it could breathe) was dead. It was a little warm. I saw nothing to induce me to suppose that the mother had injured the infant, The child then looked very black. Mr. Hammond, the surgeon to the union, informed the Coroner and jury that he had just returned from viewing the body of the deceased. A juryman asked if he observed a black mark on the neck of the child ? Mr. Hammond replied, that he observed a slight discolouration on the neck, but that might have been caused by a variety of circnenstances. Some of the jury having suggested that a post mortem examination should be made, Mr. Hammond said, in that case he should prefer making it by daylight; but he would suggest that the evidence of Mr. Bryan and M r . N or bl ad ' s as sistant (both o f whom had seen the mother before her removal from her master's, Mr. Righy's) should be taken by the Coroner previously to his own. A juryman stated that when Mr. Norblad's as sistant saw the mother at Mr. Righy's on the morn ing of the day she was brought to the workhouse, she denied that she was in the family way. The Corm:NEIL having intimated that he would d journ the inquiry until Friday, in order that Mr. Bryan, William Henton (who drove the fly), Mr. Norblad's assistant, and the mother of the deceased, might be examined, Mr. Hammond said the mother would not be in a fit state, after her recant confinement, to be examined at so early a period. The CORONER observed, that the evidence of the mother would be necessary as regar!ed the treatment she experienced before her delivery. The inquest was then adjourned to Friday next (this day) for the examination of the witnesses we have named, and others, with the understandin g that, if necessary, it should be then further adjourned, in order that the evidence of Martha Hitch might he taken. . MISERY — AMONG the FLOWERS. (From Punch.) Esther Pierce, another pallid victim of the needle, was charged at Worship-street, with illegal pawning. Yes—famine took her to the prwnbroker with the goodsof a Mr. John Halden, 01 . 62, Bread-street, Cheap side. Esther Pierce was employed to embroider a silk shawl with flowers—with no less than eighty silken blossoms—for the sum of 6d.! Well, this was a hard day's work ; bringing something less than a halfpenny en hour. The young woman had neither food nor drink ; and so, with misery and famine at her heart —in the very despair of biting hunger—she took Mr. John Ilalden's property to the pawnbroker. She is urged, tempted—sorely tempted beyond the power of suffering nature to withstand—to commit crime, to make herself a felon, by the miserable wages awarded her by the tradesman of Br ea d- s t reet, Ch e - ,p, side. Bread-street . —There is a cruel irony liven is the address. There is a society—all honoured be its object-4°r the relief and conversion of miserable young women, cast like weeds up on th e world—for the wretched Magdalen, desttised, outraged, degraded. This society calls with a voice of comfort to the defiled creature, B.nd teaches her, in goodly season, modesty, self-re spect. She is snatched from daily, hourly perdition, and restored to the decencies of life. She is no longer an animal, cursed with a soul. All praise be to the institution that works this goodness. Yet, surely we think, the Principle of Wickedness must grin and hug itself at the gatherings of this so ciety —must chuckle, as the devil only chuckles— when the secretary, with grave face and self-compla cent tone, reads the number of victims saved--of brands snatched from the fire —and turned to worthy uses. 'We say, this same Wickedness must laugh at the small retail humanity of such an institution, when, as in mockery of it, there are thousands and thousands of young women tortured by the injustice (..:c the world, by its mercenary, heartless tasking, into a life of infamy. A feeble philanthropy saves indeed a few wretches; but then there is a Giant Injustice-- iron-hearted son of avarice and trade—that drives his crowds into the street; that makes them in a wild despair of heart—for bread, horrid bread indeed so purchased—bind themselves to agony and shame! How many fall—how many, with heroic serenity of soul, their wounds bleeding inwardly, pine from day to day, and at length wither from the earth, no more accounted of than autumn flies ! And now and then some haggard, white-lipped creature—some famishing Esther Pierce for the sake of meal dares Newgate and the doom of a felon. And so it will be, until throughout all society it shall be preached—n o t meekly mouthed, but preached with a terrible, soul smitin"- energy, that there are holier things than - oonds and shillings ; that human souls are in very ac count than bank paper. h r Pierce—our readers will rej o i ce at it-- escaped r, truth of more Est e prison, the benevolent pawnbroker ( we s h ou l d have liked to chronicle his name) giving up the shawl without payment—the shawl which contained the eighty flowers, worked for 6d. ! In the East they have a well-known way of arranging flowers that, like words, they may discourse a passion. Alas what a story may the eye of pity read in these eighty u il t i t ; flowers, worked for a t es t er . O n the one hand what comfort of and life s u—:Lhinat to tshould cruel, selfish, iron-hea r t e d t as ki ng ! On the other blankness w-ha of misery—whata weariness nes all that humanity ! We should like to know the t . 1 par icu ar eighty flowers worked for 6d. by Esther Pierce for John Malden. Is it possible that for such a tradesman any of them could be heart's -ease ? Mr. Malden, in a letter to the Times, says, that `c he gives considerably more than sixpence " for such Work ; but then, with the diffidence of genuine libe rality, he d oes no t spec if y h ow much more. Afe. Malden also observes, that the wretched story of Esther Pierce is " calculated to do him serious in jury." We do not think it unlikely. In conclusion, however, we would say to all whole sale dealers in embroidered shawls, give something more to female toil than sixpence for eighty flowers. Something more, considerate masters ! So that whilst your wretched slaves are working flowers, your own consciences may not—for the after time—be working not nottlpq_
