THE AUTOBIC.;GRAPHY and CORRESPON DENCE of Sir SIMONDS D'EIVES, Bait. _ _ daring the Reigns of Janes 1. and Cita: les 1. 2 Trots, These volumes contain a great deal of gossip about the D'Ewes fairdly, of little or no interest to the _general reader ; but this is interspersed with occasional narratives of the public events of the day, including the foolish visit of " Baby Charles and Steente" to the Court ,if Spain, the death of the modern Solomon, the acces sion of his son, and one of the first of his great arbi trary ordinances, the levying of ship-money. Speaking of that illegal impost, Sir D'Ewes, who was strongly op ed to the Established Church on account of its lean ing towards Popery, and at the same time favourable to the reigning dynasty, says—" At home the liberty of the subjects of England received the most deadly and fatal blow it had been sensible of in five hundred years last past; for writs were isaied the summer foregoing to all the sheriffs of England to levy great sums of money in all the counties of the same kingdom and Wales, under pretext and colour to provide ships for the defence of the kingdom, although we were now in peace with all the world, and the royal fleet was never stronger or in better case. In all my life I never saw so many sad faces in England as this new taxation, called ship-money, occasioned." The author, however, did not live to see the end of that rising against the Crown, of which this was one of the great causes. The following is the account of the murder of Villiers. Most of our readers are aware that the Duke had gone clown to Portsmouth to superintend the fleet which was collected at that place for the relief and victualling of Rochelle:— " Some of his friends had advised him, how generally he was hated in England, and how needful it would be for his greater safety to wear some coat of mail or some other secret armour : which the Duke slighting, said, ' It needs not; there are no Roman spirits left.' August 231, being Satur day, the Duke having eaten his breakfast between eight and nine o'clock in the morning, in one Mr. Mason's house in Portsmouth, was then Misting away to the King, who lay at Reswick, some five miles distant, to have some speedy conference with him. Being come to the further part of the entry leading out of the parlour into the fully for years—worked early and late—half clad and half fed his family, and almost ruined his own health — in the hope that something would turn up. But he had given it up. He us: d to got 2s. 6d. a pair for making ladies' gaiter-boots, and said this was the usual price paid for good second•rate work. Ho lived in a sort of shed, in the rear of a wooden-house, and paid for his room four dollars a month. He could make from eight to ten pArs of gaiters in a week, if he had steady em ployment—but this he seldom had. In winter, when work is slaCk and expenses much increased, the em ploy ors come and offer even lower prices—and they are compelled to accept them. Oh, he said he was glad to think he was already so far from that "hard-hearted city." There are often several hundred journeymen in New York who have no regular situations, and of those who have work, a great number do not receive, on the aver age, over three and a half and four dollars per week. How they live we have attempted to show. _ _ _ Brut, cif course, there are afew very skilful and taste ful workmen who get more. They are employed on the choicest work, and receive for the first quality of ladies' gaiters four or five shillings per pair. A man makes of these a pair in a day. A skin of French patent leather costs $2,50, and will cut six or seven pairs of foxings. The Satin Franclise costs eleven shillings per yard, which cuts three pairs ; the binding and closing costs fifty cents, or five shillings per pair—and the boots are sold to the customers for 3. This, of course, relates to the finest kind of custom-work. ROMANCE IN THE ALMS-HOUSES. hall of the house, he had there — some conference with Sir Thomas Frier, Ent., a colonel, and stooping down in taking his leave of him, John Felton, a gentleman, having watched his opportunity, thrust a long knife with a white haft he had secretly about him with great strength and violence into his breast, under his left pap, cutting the diaphragm and lungs, and piercing the very heart itself. The Duke, having re ceived the stroke, instantly clapping his right hand on his sword-hilt, cried out, 'God's woundsl the villain bath killed me.' Some report his last words otherwise, little differing for substance from these: and it might have been wished that his end had not been so sudden, nor his last ...words mixed with so impious an expression. He was attended by many noblemen and leaders, yet none could see or prevent the stroke. His Duchess and the Countess of Anglesey, the Rife of Christopher Villiers, Earl of Anglesey, his younger brother, being in an upper room, and hearing the noise in the hall, into which they had carried the Duke, ran presently to a gallery that looked down into it, and there beholding the Duke's blood gush out abundantly from his breast, nose, and mouth (with which his speech after those his first words had been immediately stopped), they broke out into pitiful out cries, and raised, great lamentation. He pulled out the knife . _ hitt4elf, and being carried by his servants unto the table that stood in the same hall, hating struggled with death near upon a quarter of an hour, at length he gave up the ghost about ten of the clock ie same forenoon, and lay a long time after he was dead upon the hall table there. Mr. Felton, that gave him the deadly wound, was a gentleman of a very ancient family of gentry in Suffolk, very valorous; and of a stout spirit." The depraved state of the Church, which may be re garded as another cause of the excitement against the Government, is well described in the subjoined para graph. It is true to the letter, and it is pairful to add that the description would answer very well for the present day. The followers of Laud and the Puseyites are of the same stamp:— " I can honour and esteem a virtuous or learnei Papist, who, being educated in that religion, supposeth it to be the truth. But for men to call themselves Protestants, as Bishop Laud, Bishop Wren, and their wicked adherents, to swallow up the preferments of our Church, to inveigh against Popery in word only, and in the main to project and plot the ruin of the truth and Gospel, to maintain and publish the most gross and Actilent errors of the Romish synagogue, to cause God's :lay to be profaned, his public service to be poisoned by idolatry and superstition, his faithful and painful ministers to be censured, suspended, deprived, and exiled, and to threaten a speedy ruin to the power of godliness,—this my soul abhors as the highest step of wickedness and of prevarication against God and his honour. I cannot but account the Pope, the Cardinals, and Jesuits themselves saints, in comparison of these men. For as a few traitors within a besieged city are of a greater danger for the ruin of it than a whole army without, so doubtless what Theodore Beza saith of the Pseudo-Lutherans of Germany is true of these men, that they do no less impudently and furiously weaken and under mine the Gospel of truth, than if they were hired by the Pope himself at great rates."

MISFORTUNES OF A MISER.—Much gossip has been indulged in for some days past in this city, arising out of a serious loss that has befallen an old woman named Anne Woodward, an inmate of St. Bartholomew's Hospital. This individual has been a recipient of the benefits of the above cha ritable institution for a period of about thirteen years, and at the time of her election some of her disap pointed competitors stated to she Committee of Trustees that she was possessed of wealth. This, however, she so lemnly denied, and on being elected into this most com fortable and benevolentasylum, she fell on her knees, and implored the blessing of the Almighty upon the trustees for having saved her from perishing of starvation. It now appears that the old creature acted the part of a shameless hypocrite and a fradulent impostor on a most praise worthy institution ; fur it has just transpired that at the time of her election, when she affected to be in a state of abject misery, she possessed a fortune sufficient to maintain her in decency and comfort to the end of her days. Her wealth has, however, now taken to itself wings, for by the default and embarrassments of a gentleman in whom she placed trust, she has sustained the loss of her se cret hoard, to the extent, it is stated, of considerably more than a thousand pounds. The history of the old woman, as it has been told to us, is a somewhat curious one. She is now about 80 years of age. Several years ago she bestowed her affections upon a man named Wood ward, who accepted them rather reluctantly, she being, we believe, considerably his senior; but as she was very urgent in her courtship, and had, moreover, the reputa tion of possessing a well-stocked purse, Woodward surrendered himself to the impetuosity of her wooing, and married her at Newent. After the marriage she de clared she had not a shilling in the world; and in proof of this she practised such a system of rigid economy in her household arrangements, that she very nearly starved her husband to death. They entered upon a lodging-house in Cheltenham, but her husband, not relishing the idea of being attenuated to a walking skeleton, determined to seek his fortune elsewhere alone, and by mutual agree ment a separation took place, the husband wending his way to London, in the hope of enjoying once more the luxury of a full meal, and his wife remaining behind as lodging-house-keeper at Cheltenham. She, however, soon followed his ex ample, sold off her goods, and departed also, no one knew whither, and for a number of years nothing more was seen or heard of her. In process of time her hus band was gathered to his fat-hers, and then, as if she had dropped from the clouds, his widow again made her appearance on the scene, and succeeded in persuading the dispensers of charity in Gloucester that she was a fit and proper object for admission into the hospital of St. Bartholomew. Here she became a recipient of five shillings and sixpence per week, with house-rent free, and other perquisites; but her parsi monious disposition accompanied her into this retreat, and it is supposed that she contrived to save and hoard up at least the one-halt of her weekly allowance. It has now transpired that at the time of her admission into the hospital, she had a large sum of money invested in Government securities, but in a fictitious name; a step which she is supposed to have resorted to, in order to pre vent her husband's heirs from laying claim to any part of it. Lately, the state of her affairs was communicated in con fidence to a gentleman held in much esteem in this city and neighbourhood, but whose pecuniary embarrass ments unfortunately caused him in this instance to fall a victim to temptation. It was felt by some of the old woman's nearest relatives, who expected to be benefited by her will, and who well knew how her money was deposited, that after her death some difficulty might be experienced in obtaining payment of Government Stock standing in a fictitious name ; and the gentleman above alluded to, it is stated, advised that the Stock should be sold out and re-invested. The selling-out was accom plished by him on her behalf, but the re-invest ment was postponed, and finally, the affairs of the gentleman have become so involved that he has left the country, and the old woman's long-cherished secret store (of some 1,2001. it is said) has vanished. Still, notwithstanding the magnitude of her loss, she receives, and probably deserves, but little sympathy ; for, with ample means to exist in independence, she has for thir teen years been eating the bread of charity, and by so doing has for the whole of that period been perpetrating a gross fraud, and has stood in the way of really de serving objects being benefited by benevolence which was intended for the unfortunate and destitute.—Glou ceste7 Journal. NEW ZEALAND STATISTICS. The following extracts are from a lately published work on " New Zealand," by a Mr. Brown, and inserted in the New Zealand Journal:— "To the speculator and man of large capital, New Zealand presents at this moment the most tempting pros pects, almost too much so for his prudence to withstand. "Already two copper mines in the neighbourhood of Auckland have been opened, and the results are in the highest degree satisfactory, ore being obtainable of the best quality, and at so trifling an expense, that there are no accounts of mines in any other part of the word in this respect to be com pared with them. In fact, the operation can not be termed mining at all—it is only quarry. ing and blasting, the ore being almost at the very sur face. Sortie idea of the facility of procuring the ore may be formed from the fact, that miners are at present work ing one of the mines referred to, and have undertaken to produce the ore, properly cleaned and sorted, fit for shipment, at the rates of 4L per ton for the third quality, 61. for the second, and St fur the finest ; and at these rates there is every appearance of their realising a small fortune for themselves in the course of two years, for which period it is understood their contract extends. They would realise enormous wages at the lowest rate of 41. for all qualities, if the ore continues to be procured as easily as hitherto. About ten or twelve men, in the course of six weeks, actually quarried out sixty tons, thirty f which were shipped to Sydney, and thirty tons to England. Nor is the ore of an ordinary quality ; the analysis of some samples from the mine referre to shows upwards of 50 per cent. of pure copper. " Manganese is equally abundant, and is found within 15 miles of Auckland. Considerable quantities have already been shipped to England, some of which has re alised 71. per ton. The expense of quarrying this has , beer. 10s. per ton. " Many places on the coast, both northward to the Bay of Islands, and southward towards the East Cape, afford indications both of copper and manganese ; and it may easily be supposed that the utmost eagerness is manifested to become the fortunate purchaser of these mines. While the obstructions to the free purchase of lands continued, no one even thought of taking the trouble to look for these treasures ; but now that the natives are permitted to dispose of their lands, there scarcely passes a week without a party setting off in some direction, on a voyage of discovery, " The very natives have become infected with the mania, and are nearly as expert judges of copper or man• ganese as the settlers, and may be seen going about with fragments of stone and bottles of nitric acid, for the pur pose of testing its composition, They serve to keep the settlers in a perpetual excitement, by pretending to have discovered copper or manganese upon their lands, and no little money is spent in fruitless expeditions to prove the fact. In some cases, the eagerness of the settlers outruns their prudence, and they are induced, by the solicitations of the natives, to purchase land before seeing it, fearing some more reckless speculator may otherwise secure the prise ; but it is needless to say that they are almost sure of losing their money, as the specimen of the ore shown to them has, in all probability, been taken from the mines at the Great Barrier, or from the island of Kawau. The natives seem to discover, with singular acuteness, the weak points in the character of the person they are deal ing with, and never fail to work upon them with great dexterity. Where knowledge is equal on both sides, the settlers are no match for the natives in buying and selling, as the latter concentrate, in the smallest affair, their whole soul, and never lose sight of their own inte rest for a moment. " Besides copper and manganese, tin, lead, and nickel are reported to have been discovered. Coal abounds in various places on the Middle Island; it has also been seen near Manakao, and indications of it are to be met with near the Bay of Islands, but no mine has yet been opened on the North Island. A shaft was sunk at Mauharangi, (near the Kawau copper mine), but having been under taken by a person without means, the work was aban doned, after sinking about eighty feet. Rock salt has been discovered in the neighbourhood of Mercury Bay ; and alum and nitre near the medicinal springs a t th e R o t uma lakes. Sulphur is found in vast quantities, about the East Cape, and has already been shipped to England, though it did not, it is believed, realise a good pri ce ; b u t sulphur, of a very superior description, has lately been discovered, in purity nearly equal to the rolled sulphur of commerce. Specimens of this article have been sent to England in the Bolina. Various other minerals have been found, but are less worthy of notice, as they do not appear to be available at present as exports." THE FISHERIES. ST. IVES.—No pilchards have been seen from the hills during the week. Mackarel are very plentiful on the coast, but the weather has prevented the boats from driving. Two boats went out on Tuesday night, and caught about 2,000 each, which were sold at 12s. per 120. FOWEY.—Very few fish have been taken here this week.-- West Briton, A prosecution for forgery and fraud, ending in ba.nk ruptcy, connected with an incident which occurred a shs irt time ago in London, when a Frenchman named Best et was arrested on a warrant i.esied by the Lord Mayor, en compliance with the late conre:ltion between France end England for the reciprocal extradition of certain classes of criminals, but who was afterwards released by a . judge's le armee, on the ground that fraudulent bank ruptcy was a crime unknown to the English law, ens on Monday last brought on before the Court of Assizes. The parties now brought to the bar are—Josleh Osear de Sazy, aged 32, merchant, born at Naples ; Joseph -.aegis , Germain, aged 39, merchant, of Romans (Drome).; and Victor Baudon, aged 38, of Valence (Drome), on ginally a watchmaker, afterwards an accountant or book :Keeper, and latterly clerk to the two first-named parties.. Two other parties were included in the indictment, but neither of whom has been arrested, and therefore they were tried by default. Their names are—Francois Caruel, alias Delarmarcotelle, alias Pricener, aged 50, a a native of Normandy, who has lived successively in Paris, Jersey, New York, and Lordon, and is believed to be at this time at Baltimore, in the United States, and has been condemned to hard labour for 10 years, by default, for fraudulent bankruptcy; and Jacques Besset, aged 48, formerly a shawl manufacturer at Lyons, but lately resident at London. The indictment is of extreme length, and we shall confine ourselves to abstracting only such parts as are- sufficient to show the main features of the case, and the share taken by era h of the accused parties in the acts incriminated. In August and September, 1842, Camel, then lately arrived from America, Sazy, and Regis-Germain met in London to establish a commercial commission warehouse, under the name of Pricener and Co. The name of Pricener did not legitimately belong to them, but Caruel assumed it, pretending that it was the maiden name of his wife, and also the name of an uncle in America, who had authorised him to use it, and who was to be a sleeping partner in the business. This firm of Pricener and Co. established itself at No. 38., Fen church-street, London, and had also a corresponding house in Paris, at No. 61, Rue do Provence, under the name of Regis-Germain. Sazy acted as travelling part ner both in France and abroad, to keep up the credit of both houses, and negotiate their bills for such goods as were purchased in their names. Baudon was first only a 'clerk at 1,200 E, and afterwards 1,500 f. a year. In thie manner their proceedings went on till June, 1844, when the bubble burst, and Pricener decamped from London and went to America. Regis-Germain, on the 25th of the same month, disappeared from Paris, and went to Brussels with his mistress, but was afterwards overtaken at Rotterdam, by a creditor. An application was made to the Tribunal ee Com merce, and Regis-Germain was declared bankrupt. On investigating his affairs it was found that the debts amounted to 400,000 E and the assets to literally nothing, for even his furniture was absorbed by arrears of rent. Baudon was therefore arrested in Paris, and Sazy, who was still carrying on trade, was taken at Grandville, in virtue of a telegraphic dispatch. Besset acted in Eng land much in the same capacity as Sazy in France, where also Besset occasionally came, and by the auda city of his proceedings alarmed both Caruel and Regis- Germain, and in fine cheated them both by converting considerable purchases, made in their names and with their bills, to his own use. In fact, it was sufficiently shown that this man was, beyond all comparison, the greatest rogue of the set, and by his appropriations had hastened the termination of their schemes, and made the catastrophe tenfold more glaring and despe rate. From the interrogation of Sazy by the President, it appeared that he had previously to the establishment of this precious concern, been in correspondence with Camel, who therein used the name of Delamarco telle, while he, Sazy, signed that of Saint Clair, and from which correspondence he must have known that Cseuel was not worth a sou, and yet he represented it to Laborde, the banker, that he began business with a capital of 100,000 E, and that his partners brought in 50,0001. more. Regis-Germain, in answer to the ques tions put to him, stated that being lame he was at first destined for the priesthood, but, at the age of fif teen, he changed his mind and became clerk to a notary, and afterwards traveller to a commercial hour e till about 1841; when falling into bad health, his mother induced him to gi . ve up slat employ ment. He first made acqueintance, in Ins, with Dela marcotelle, at Jersey, being recommended to him by the master of an hotel at Grauville, and Delamarcotelle re commended him to Sazy. Regis-Germain- deeded that when he entered into connexion with,Caruel and Sazy, in 1842, he knew that he was without money, for Besset, who was known to be rich, said that lie shoald enter the house and support it. He also understood that there was to be a sleeping partner, eho would advance 50,000 f. In fine, he protested that until the bills upon the house of Pricener were returned in 1844 unpaid, he believed that all was right. • He then wished to withdraw from the concern, but was ridiculed for his fears and over persuaded by Besset, who affirmed that he had his whole fortune, amounting to 500,000 francs, embarked in the business. Regis-Germain further declared that he went to Brussels and Rotterdam only in pursuit of Besset, and to endeavour to get back a quantity of goods which that person had taken with him, in order that there might be something for the creditors. Baudon throughout his examination maintained that he had done nothing but what was the duty of a clerk in a solvent house, although at times there might be a want of money to meet the demands upon it, never receiving any further remuneration for his services than his stipulated salary. On proceeding to the evidence, many letters and other written documents were read and verified. Numerous merchants and tradesmen were examined, and most, if not all, of them stated that, at the beginning, all the bills given for the merchandise they supplied to the house of Regis-Germain were paid, though in the end they were left creditors, and some to a very large amount, M. Dubois, a dealer in leather, who was one of them, and who, after the bankruptcy, became provisional syndic, or assignee, represented that, having sold a quantity of leather to the house of Pricener through Regis• Germain for ready money, he went to London, and called upon Pricener and Co. for payment. Sazy was present, and the pretended Pricener rebuked him roundly for dealing for ready money, and Sazy said nothing, but stood like a scolded school-boy before his master. That aocount, however, and a second one on bills, were duly paid. The money for the third, however, still remained due, the leather sold having been delivered only on the strong but false representations of Besset. He stated that he believed Regis-Germain to have acted honestly at the beginning, but thought he must have known before the close the real state of affairs, and ought not to have gone on. M. Dubois could last call Regis- Germain a rogue, but thought he was very weak. Baudon, he said, never gave any orders, and h e knew nothing to induce him to believe lie was an accomplice in the frauds. Of Besset, M. Dubois said that he did not think there was a man at the hulks snore criminal. M. Dubois, who went to London to procure the extra dition of Besset, gave a very lively description of his in solence when he was released from his arrest by the judge's warrant, but we have not space for it. He con cluded by expressing a hope that he should still be able to lay hold of him. That Regis-Germain, when he went to Brussels and Rotterdam, had no intention of abscond. ing from his creditors, but went, as he statedi n his ex amination, with the hope of overtaking Besset, and re covering some of the money from him, was shown by the evidence of M. Paris, a creditor, who followed him to Rotterdam, and there found him in great distress of mind, complaining of having been cruelly deceived, with so little in his purse that h e h a d been obliged to pawn his watch. M. Paris gav e hi m a supply, and Regis , Germain readily came back with him to Paris. These are the principal circumstances of the case. The trial lasted till yesterday (Thursday) at three in the afternoon, when the jury retired to consider their verdict. At six they returned, declaring all the three prisoners guilty, but finding extenuating circumstances in favour of Baudon. The prisoners, on hearing the verdict read to them, were completely overcome. On being asked by the President whether they had anything to say why judgment should not be passed cn thems Germain burst tempted were choked in his throat. Bandon remained silent. The Gentlemen,tospe speak, have but p h i i t s y w u o p r o d n s m i n y t O p t o e o a r r s m a o i t i h d e r e l y lai Sazyme a d t , counsel for Germain intimated an intention to appeal to the Court of Cessation, on the grounds of irregularity in the indictment and proceedings so far as regarded him. The President then delivered the judgment of the court, condemning Sazy to hard labour at the hulks for ten years, 100 f. fine, and exposure on the pillory ; Re gis-Germain to close confinement with hard labour for seven years, a fine of 1001., and exposure on the pillory ; and Baudon to simple imprisonment for five years.— Galignani.

HOP INTELLIGENCE.—CANTERBURY. -- The past weak has been most disastrous to the hops—the high winds and cold weather have swept away from 30,000/. to 50,0001. of the duty.

THE SUGARS OF CUBA AND PORTO RICO.—Li- VERPOOL, THURSDAY.—We have had two importations of these sugars offered for sale by broker's auction this week, one from Cuba, and the other from Porto Rico. That from Cuba was offered yesterday. It consisted of only forty-four boxes ; and although there was &considerable attendance, a sale could not be effected owing to the heavy duty, and the whole was withdrawn at 275. and 265. per cwt. The highest prices offered were 255. and 225. 6d. To-day, a rather large impor tation from Porto Rico was offered. The sugar was of ex cellent quality, and a very large number of merchants and dealers were attracted by it. The entire cargo consisted of 162 hogsheads, 44 tierces, and 244 barrels. About one-half was sold at various prices from 235. 9d. to 255. 3d. For the best qualities the highest offers were 245. 6d. and 255. 3d., and they were withdrawn at 265. and 28s. The refiners were the principal purchasers. THE WESTMINSTER IMPROVEMENTS.-011 Friday notices, signed by Mr. Downes and Mr. Taylor, two of the Commissioners of the Westminster Improvements, were served on those persons who have any interest in the line of the new street, which is to be called Buckingham-road, to the effect that the Commissioners are ready to treat for the purchase of their property; but if they do not send in a claim to their office within twenty-one days from the 23d of September, the Commissioners will proceed to a valuation of it, according to the terms of their Act of Parliament. It is said that Mr. Elliott, the brewer, has received 22,000/. for the meadow in front of his brewery, or at the rate of about 4,0001. an acre, and that he had himself laid it out for building on, but the road passing through it be was obliged to make a sale to the Commissioners. The inhabitants who have received these notices are quite lively at the golden prospect they have in view, but many, no doubt, will be doomed to disappointment. FUNERAL OF PETER GREENALL, ESQ M.P.— The funeral of Mr. Greenall, Esq., M.P. for Wigan, took place on Wednesday morning last, in the family vault of the Old ' Church St. Helen's. Although it was understood to be a Every respectable there was present a vast number of spectators. respectable shop in the town has had its shutters half closed since Thursday last, and the inmates of private houses, almost without exception, have displayed their sympathy by also lowering their blinds, and exhibiting those other indi cations of mourning which are usually observed on tbese oc casions ; but the day of interment appeared to be reserved for a more full demonstration of public feeling, when all parties —Churchman and Dissenter, rich and poor, Conservative and Liberal, as if by common consent, without the slightest ar rangement, suspended all business, that they might pay the tribute of their deep feelings of sorrow over the tomb of their late respected townsman; every shop was fully closed, and continued so during the day. It is proper to state, that in consequence of the sudden decease of the lamented gentle man, which occurring whilst in apparent health, an inquest was held on Saturday last at Mr. Glover's, the White Hart Inn, before John Heyes, Esq , coroner, and a respectable jury, when a verdict was recorded of "Died by the Visitation of God."—Liverpool Mercury.

The followin observations, inculcating the necessity of exercising ju dicious discrimination in the choice of boots and shoes, strike us as well worthy an attentive perusal. . . . . . " The lower extremities with us are destined to be confined in leathern cases, sometimes from the knees to the toes ; these are made without much regard to the different struc ture of individuals; all that the most intelligent of the shoe makers of the day think of is the length and breadth of the foot; some of them, it is true, make a last, not from the foot, but from the boot, instead of modelling the foot, and from thence making the shoe. To this idea we are so much ac customed that we often buy what we require in the most in discriminate manner; we go into the first shoe-shop that presents itself to our view, and purchase a ready-made pair of shoes, quite satisfied if they are long enough and do not pinch at the sides; the flexibility of the material is little thought of, and still less is any attention paid to the natural form of each foot, fur what fits one is supposed to be equally well adapted to all. This is, however, a fearful mistake, for which a thoughtless person has often to undergo great incon venience, painful annoyance, and even temporary lameness. The great desideratum is to leave the foot to its natural action, to incumber it as little as possible, and not to place it in immediate contact with hard unyielding materials; and, shouid there be any defects, to have them carefully remedied, or the best means taken to obviate them." The book, which is published in 4t0., is got up in a most luxurious manner, with wide margin, gilt edges, and embossed covers. It presents quite an aristocratical appearance. THE REAL PROPERTY STATUTES of the 8 and 9 Victoria, w th Introduction, Notes, Forms, and Index. By George S. Al[null Esq., Barrister;at-Law. Important innovations in the law affecting real pro perty have been made by the Legislature during the past session. Whether the good intended will be pro duced or not remains to be proved; but, after theexample of the Act of the previous session, we are by no means sanguine as to the beneficial results of the new statutes. Mr. Allnutt has done much service to the profession by collecting and editing these statutes, and the work appears to have been got up with great care and ability. The notes will furnish a useful practical guide to solicitors in deciding upon the cases in which they may with safety adopt the benefits which have beep offered by the Legislature. In the introduction, Mr. Allnutt states an objection to the use cf the forms provided by the " Act for facilitating the granting of certain Leases," which we do not remember to have met with elsewhere. He says:—" Hitherto in most cases leases could be read and understood by the parties themselves without re sorting to their legal advisers, but, as it is not to be pre sumed that the Act will be in their possession, they must., where a lease has been drawn under the Act, seek assistance for the purpose of understanding words which are to have an effect far beyond their natural meaning." In this remark we entirely concur, and we fear that this is not the only case in which the lawyers will benefit by these attempted improvements in favour of their clients. DISTRESSED CONDITION OF THE SHOEMAKERS OF NEW YORK. (From the New York Tribune.) There is no class of mechanics who average so great an amount of work for so little money as the journey • men shoemakers. The number of journeymen out of employment is also large, and out of all just proportion. There are hundreds of them in the city constantly wan dering from shop to shop in search of work, while many of them have families in a state of absolute want. One by one the articles of their furniture have been sold to supply bread which the disheartened workman could not earn, and at last the family are turned out of their miserable garret or cellar because they cannot pay their rent. Even those who work fare badly enough ; and many of them live in such a way as to deprive life of everything save the mere privilege of breath. But for those entirely cut of situations the case is still worse. We have been in more than fifty cellars, in different parts of the city, each inhabited by a shoemaker and his family. The floor is made of rough plank laid loosely down, and the ceiling is not quite so high as a tall man. The walls are dark and damp, and a wide, deso late fire-place yawns in the centre to the right of the en trance. There is no outlet back, and ofcourse no yard privi leges of any kind. The miserable room is lighted only by a shallow sash partly projecting above the surface of the ground, and by the little light that struggles down the steep and rotting stairs. In this apartment often live the man with his work-bench, his wife and five or six children of all ages ; and per haps a palsied grandfather or grandmother, and often both. In one corner is a squalid bed, and the room elsewhere is occupied by the work bench, a cradle made from a dry-goods box, two or three broken and seatless chairs, a stewpan, and a kettle. Here is the whole of that thing so noble in the abstract, so lofty in the destiny intended for it, so full of every source of joy and gladness —a family of human beings. Here they work—here they cook, they eat, they sleep, they pray—if to pray they have not forgotten. They procure a little something to eat by the chance jobs of gentlemen's or children's mending brought in by the rich people above ground in the neighbourhood, who are not celebrated for paying a poor cobbler high prices. Now this picture is faithfully drawn —not over-coloured in any one particular. We have written nothing that we have not seen over and over again with our own eyes. We permitted our correspondent to state his case in a former number, in his own language. It is doubt less well as far as it goes ; but it does not touch the dark shades in the condition of the shoemakers in this city. They are the worst paid, and live the least like life of all men who have spent years in learning trades that they might know how to live. We met recently, going up the Hudson, a journeyman shoemaker, pale and haggard with unremitting toil. He had his wife and BANKRUPTS.

SuGAn.--There has been agood business done in British Plantation, about 1,800 hhds having been sold at rather higher prices, arulthe market is generally firm. Only 500 bags Bengal, and 364 barrels 29 casks Foreign Muscovada, have been brought to auction, which found buyers at '..ather lower prices for both descriptions, but being only small parcels, they afford little guide to the market; low to good white Benares Bengal brought 53s to 565, and low to good yellow Porto Rico, 23s to 24s 6d. The quantity of British Plantation landed last week at the East and West India Docks was 6,102 hhds, 662 tierces, 1,235 barrels ; and there were taken for home consumption, 1,880 hhds; 154 tierces, 356 barrels. The stock in the same places is 15,504 hhds, 1,770 tierces, 2,709 barrels. Russ.—The quantity landed last week at the East and West India Docks was 1,068 puns 21 hhds. There were taken for home consumption 140 puns 9 hhds, and exported 125 puns 29 hhds. The stock in the same places is 10,609 puns 1,047 hhds. TALLOW.—P.Y.C. is 41s 3d to 41s 6d per cwt. on the spot, and town 43s Gd. TEA.—The market is steady without any particular activity. (From the London New Price Current of Sept. 30.) Suaan.—To-day, an increased desire was shown to pur chase West India Sugar, the demand was extensive, and a larger quantity was taken for the outports. The private purchases amounted to the immense quantity of 1660 hhds and tierces, and the rates obtained were fully equal to those of Friday, indeed in some cases strong working and the lower sorts of yellow brought 6d advance. REFINED.—To-day prices ruled firm for fined Sugar, and the demand was good from the home trade; brown grocery lumps at 65s to 665, and Standard lumps 66s 6d to 67s per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar further declined in value, 39s to 40s having been taken for first quality. MAIIRMUS.—This afternoon several inquiries existed pri vately for Mauritius Sugar, but at present the quantity in the market is small, and the rates paid were rather above those previously quoted. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon white Bengal was much sought after, and as the rates paid were rather above those before quoted, the supply has become inadequate for the de mand. Brown sorts were purchased with increased freedom at 38s to 42s for low and middling; of grainy yellow some parcels were sold at very full rates. Of Madras 1511 bags, a superior parcel, were submitted to public competition, and sold at high rates. MOLASSES.—The demand has been brisk for West India, and rather higher rates were paid; the sales reached 600 puncheons nearly all new Antigua, very fine at 24s to 24s 6d, and fine at 23s 6d per cwt. Hors.—ln the value little variation has taken place, but the amount of business transacted has been small. At the Worcester market new Hops were sold at 61. l e s r s tle er lL w g t but the quality was not first rate.

It appears that that the housekeeper on going in as usual to prepare the rooms, perceived a strong smell of gas, and called a lad, who came into the room with a lighted candle. Immediately a loud report took place, and the mom and furniture were quickly on fire. The Farringdon-street engine was speedily on the spot, and the firemen succeeded in confining the flames to the room in which the explosion oc curred. We regret to add, that the unfortunate woman was severely burnt, while her clothes were destroyed. She now lies in a very dangerous state. The poor boy was also in jured by the fire, but not so severely. The escape of gas which caused the accident is supposed to have arisen from its not having been turned off at the main. DISTRICT ASYLUM, ST. GEORGE'S, SOUTHWARK. — On Monday a meeting of the rate-payers of St. George's, South was held in the vestry- room , f or t h e purpose of tak i ng into consideration an order of the P oor -l aw C omm i ss i oners to combine with other parties to erect an asylum for the temporary relief of the poor and destitute, and for supplying them with work. The Rev. Mr. Horton, the rector, pre sided.:Mr.Matthews moved a resolution to the effect—" that the parishioners contemplated with alarm the junction of that parish with others in the forming of a union which only tended to carry out the system of centralisation, and deprived the rate-payers of control over their own officers—that it would entail vast additional expense, and strongly recom mended that every resistance should be offered to it both by the guardians nominated over it and the parish generally," The motion having been seconded, Mr. Boxer observed, that Mr. Hall, the Poor-law Commissioner, had shown more humanity at the meeting than most of the supporters of the poor-law, for he expressed his regret that the only relief that could be afforded would be food and a night's lodging. If the asylum were established it would be a sign-post for the dissolute and idle who would flock to it. St. George's could not afford it, for independent of 10,0001. for building the asylum, it would require 2,000/. a-year for the working of this most objectionable proposal. The resolution was carried unanimously, and after the usual vote of thanks to the Rev. Chairman, the meeting broke up. SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—On Monday afteenoon, about three o'clock, as Ellen Brooks, parlour-maid to Samwell, Esq., of Canterbury-street, Lambeth, was running down the kitchen stairs, she slipped and fell, when a carving knife she had in her hand at the time entered her right thigh, and in flicted a frightful wound; she also broke four of her ribs by the fall. Medical assistance was obtained, but it was some time before the flow of blood was stopped, the wound in the thigh having divided an artery. SUICIDE IN A WATER-BUTT.---On Monday, Mr. Bedford held an inquest at the Rose and Crown, Rose-street, Soho, on the body of Ann Foxwell, aged fifty-eight. The deceased, a widow, carried on the business of a turner and stand-maker, at No. 24, Crown-street. She bad been very unsettled, and at times depressed in spirits since the death of her husband, eleven months since, and would frequently ex claim, " That there was no one in the world she cared for," and "that there was nothing worth living for." On Satur day morning last, at twenty minutes past seven o'clock, her sister left her in bed, and a quarter of an hour after she was found by her foreman in the water-butt in the back kitchen, her feet upwards. On being taken out she was quite dead. The top of the water-butt being within a foot of the ceiling, she must have had some trouble in effecting her object. Ver dict " Temporary insanity." MILITANT MOVEMENTS AT PORTSMOUTH. It has been decided to enlarge the Cambridge Barracks, and for thig purpose the Theatre Royal and the houses at the upper part of the High-street, Portsmouth, together with those facing the ramparts on the south of the High-street, will be taken down as soon as the Government can obtain possession of them. The space thus obtained will provide one of the finest sites in the town for this object, and as the property is not occupied by persons in b us i ness , no i nconven i ence is likely to result from the procedure. The building now occupied as the Portsmouth workhouse, which will be vacated in a few weeks, the inmates being about to be removed to the new union house, will be purchased by the Government f or theh purpose of enlarging the Colewort Barracks, ,e the wis h f authorities r i e e n s , beingbebesides for the contain accommodation stated, that upon officers of such a large number.

Of course the quantity led each week varies, but we should take the present week to have yielded to the stack-yard to the amount in value of 10,000,0001. in grain. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, were fair and fine days with severe frost, on Monday and Tuesday nights. On Wednesday the day was favourable for harvest work, but in the night the barometer fell considerably, and on Thursday, about noon, we had a re turn of heavy showers, since which time the weather has been unsettled. The frost of Monday and Tuesday nights has checked the growth of the winter potatoes, and rendered their tops as black as ripe bean straw. We do not find that it has in any degree increased the murrain amongst the dis eased potatoes, or brought on the decay where the crops were before sound. We fear that the late crops of grain in the hilly countries, still in an unripe state, will be shrivelled by the frost, and rendered unproductive upon the threshing floor. On tho whole, we feel it to be our duty to put our readers upon an economical use of grain, and particularly of potatoes, which are sure to be scarce and dear during the en suing winter. Of turnips, the crop is generally good, and the Swedes in particular, being natives of a cold climate, have not suffered either in the bulk or in the top by the premature se verity of the weather. The unfavourable prospects in conse quence of the weather of last week, combined, perhaps, with a more perfect knowledge of the yield of the crops of grain in the present year, caused a serious advance in the London market on Monday, which has since been confirmed both in Leeds and Liverpool Leeds Mercury. 44 <-r` s. d.

SCULLING MATCH FOR 2001.—A grand sculling match for 200/. and the championship will come off about 10 o'clock this morning between Thomas Carroll, publican, of this town, and John Clasper, of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. some dispute has arisen as to where the starting point should be, whether with the tide from Eastham towards Liverpool, or from Eastham against the tide to Weston-point and back; but, however this may be decided, an excellent view of the race can be obtained from Eastham. The match has excited great interest at most of the seaport towns of the kingdom. particularly in London and Newcastle, whence large numbers of persons are expected to arrive by cheap trains, to witness the sport. In the metropolis, where Clasper has already beaten all the best scullers of the dayAhe is decidedly the favourite, the betting on him being 3 to 1. In Liverpool Carroll is "the favourite, and, singular to say, he betting upon him here is 3to 1 also. He is a young man, who has been in training for some time past, and seems quite confident of obtaining the victory. Clasper's boat is an out rigger, and weighs 421 b. Carroll's boat is also an outrigger, 311 d weighs 491 b. Should the weather be favourable, excel lent sport may be expected. A race will also take place between two river gigs, pulled by boatmen. For the infor mation cf our readers we may remark, that steamers will leave the George's-pier for Eastham several times during the day.—Liverpool Albion. VAUXHALL GARDENS.-POSES PLASTIQUES, AND Mr. 11. GREEN'S NIGHT ASCENT, WITH FIREWORKS;—Thie poprear place of entertainment was on Friday crowded to an overflow, the programme being, perhaps, the most varied and attractive of the season, including the tableaux cleans by Professor Keller, of Berlin, and his corps of male and female artistes, who have created such a sensation on the Continent, and who bring with them testimonials from most of the Courts of Europe; and likewise the last nocturnal ascent of Mr. H. Green, with fireworks. A large party of the nobility and other persons of distinction occupied private boxes in the Rotunda Theatre, including the Austrian Am bassador and suite, and who warmly expressed their admira tion of the Poses Plastiques. The company afterwards re paired to the Waterloo Ground, to witness the process of inflation, ecc., of the Coronation Balloon. The weather happily proved propitious, a slight breeze blowing from the west, and the ascent was decidedly the best of the season, the balloon being distinctly visible for some time; and the pyrotechnic display was equal, if not superior, to any of the previous eirOrts of Mr. Darby. The festivities of the gardens were kept up till a late, or rather an early hour this morning. RAILWAYS Y. UNIVERSITIES.-It has been the fashion with a certain clique, to denominate the labourers, who are employed in forming railways, "untutored savages." We understand that the Bangor police have reported to the magistrates, that eight or ten collegians, who, for som e weeks, had been located in that city, had been more riotous and disorderly, and had given them more trouble, and, to many of the respectable inhabitants, more annoyance, than all the six or seven hundred labourers employed within Bangor parish, on the Chester and Holyhead Railway. We trust that the parties referred to had only assumed the name of collegians. It would be highly discreditable to either Ox ford or Cambridge to send out students, whose conduct would not bear a favourable comparison with that of railway la bourers.—Carnarvon Herald. - :~=l-'~" 0 .1 e) ; ~ci;.;44t Cl?
