NOW FIRST PUBLISHED, FROM THE ORIGINAL MSS. Now ready, in Two Vols. Bvo , with Portraits. THE DIAL{ Y of Sir SIMONDS D'EWE S, Bart., During the Reigns of King James I. and King Charles I. Edited with Notes and Illustrated By J. ORCHARD HALLIWELL, Esq., F.R.S., &c. Richard Bentley, New Burlington-street, (Publisher in Ordinary to her Majesty. one pound each per week, and contrast that measure of relief with this useless destruction of such a mass of it. May we not be permitted to doubt whether the case is not stronger for Mr. EWART'S motion to repeal the duties whose mischievous operation is thus to contribute to revenue a precarious, though, indeed, an extensive contribution, at the cost of these wholesale sacrifices, occasionally, of a chief article of our subsistence ? Here is another signal evidence of the partial, oppres sive, cruel operation of our fiscal system on the hard working poor. Because, the wages of their labour are necessarily scanty, you unnecessarily increase the cost of those indispensable articles of food which they must purchase for the support of themselves and their families. There can be no doubt in the mind of any reasonable man that the principle on which Mr. EWART'S motion proceeded was based on the broadest and most simple foundations. It was right in theory ; because the theory of taxation spares necessaries, in order to fasten on superfluities and luxuries. By an obvious analogy the sound policy which withholds an impost on the food of the subject, should withhold it also from the raw ma terial of a home manufacture. Mr. Ewanr's motion was justified, practically, by the irrefragable fact we have just noticed of the destruction of 20,000 cwt. of a commodity which, pending a state of the market that would have enabled the importers to sell, after paying the duty. at a profit, it had, from its perishable nature, become necessary to destroy. If one could separate the consideration of the dis tressing consequences to the poorer classes of our swarming, and, we fear, underfed population, that result from the self-convicted absurdity of such imposts, there would be something absolutely ludicrous in the official solemnity of Mr. Gotruninst and the pompous compla cency of Sir R. PEEL, exhibited in their respective re plies to Mr. EwAn.es speech. The former gentleman, as Cliaticellor:of the Exchequer, resisted the motion for going into Committee, on high and enlightened axioms of sound policy, indeed ! He could not allow such a reduc tion of the revenue as the affirmation of the motion would lead to " at this late season of the year," for " to do so would involve the country in considerable diffi culty." Why there was nothing in Mr. EWART'S pro position to prevent the Right Hon Chancellor from ex acting a pledge, if it was thought necessary, that any recommendation of the Committee should be subject to an instruction that it was not to take effect until after a specific date to be named. And as to the possible "diffi culty" in which it might involve the country (that is, the Treasury Chambers, No. 10, Downing-street), does the Right Hon. Gentleman allow nothing on the other side of the account for the millions of his fellow-subjects who are already, and have long been, involved in almost hope less and absolute difficulties by these and other such grinding imposts on articles of indispensable consump tion ? " When he considered that, in one year, the duty, amounted to 347,300/, he could not accede, to the propo sition of the Hon. Gentleman." But if he will extend this process of consideration to the fact that this annual amount of 347,0001. is levied on the poor, the very poor, at the rate of 20 per cent. on their butter, and 50 per cent on their cheese, can be satisfy his own mind as a finan cier, or his own feelings as a Christian, that he is justi fied in keeping up a duty so unfair, so onerous, and (as we have seen) so destructive of property ? The Right Hon. Gentleman may depend upon it that to re place the present rate by one of a very light nature, would, in the first year of the experiment, pour into his exchequer a larger revenue than any he now draws under the existing duty, seeing that the pressure of this latter compels the litter sacrifice of 20,000 cwt. of the commo dity taxed in a single year. We adhere, however, to Mr. EWART'S as the better and wiser course, namely, the absolute repeal of all duty on this important article. It was with. reason that Mr. GinsoN complained, when offering himself to discuss the question as one of taxa tion simply, that the Government invariably argued it as a fiscal one. This is strictly true. You cannot get the members of a Government, whose first, and last, and universal principle of action is identified with their tena city of office, to take up these subjects on large and corn prehensive views. The present CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE QUER is a person who cannot imagine revenue realised through other channels, or otherwise directed, than accord ing to a scheme previously sanctioned by the Cabinet. He is, withal, deeply imbued with the common-place love of revenue for its own sake, irrespective of all considera tions attaching to the sources or the mode of its collec tion. He is the sort of Minister who, if Parliament had determined to purchase the Holy Land with a view to some great religious purpose, would mar the solemnity of the transaction by ostentatiously parading the five per cent. discount he would have taken care to realise on the transaction from the SULTAUN, and the Pacha of SYRIA. This item of 347,000/. is in his " Ways and Means," no doubt, for next year ; and a deputation of the Nine Muses, with the ghost of ADAM SMNII at their head, would vainly essay all the powers of elo quence and persuasion, harmony and political economy, on the intractable Member for Cambridge University, to withdraw this glittering item from his next financial statement. Sir R. PEEL, we perceive, put a question to Mr. E%VART which we are impelled to repeat. "How could Mr. EWART expect that her MAJESTY'S Govern ment could possibly accede to his proposition ?" How, indeed ! He had already had experience of the strength and constancy of their prejudices ; their inflexibility—in error. For the rest Sir ROBERT'S speech was the most dull and prosing imaginable. For the " one hundred and fiftieth night this season" (as the play bills have it), he went through the tedious story of what he calls his surplus of 3,000,000/. (as usual, sinking all allusion to the Property-tax, which produces it), and schooled Mr. EWART on the standing subjects of "lateness of the session," "derangement of the revenue," and " inconsistency." As to the first, what choice had the Ministers left Mr. EWART as to the timing of his motion 2 Between their reckless sacrifices of the public time and business in the dogged defence of their petulant colleague, Lord STANLEY, and Sir JAMES GRAHAM'S abortive perseverance in attempting to force Bills through the House of Commons which had been previously repu diated by the voice and feeling of the whole nation, they had left no other open period for the raising of this question. Mr. EWART considered the wants of a vast section of the people quite as important to be looked to as the Ministerial convenience ; and so the matter was brought under the notice of the House. Then as to the "de rangement of the revenue," the Premier appears perfectly oblivious of the many and grave objections that have been taken to his appropriation of the surplus ever since the introduction of his last Budget. It is no just ground of complaint, therefore, against Mr. EWART, who stre nuously objected to that scheme, that his proposition of last night, if affirmed and carried out into execution, would derange its details. Of course it would. But, had they not been open to the objectioit of not including the repeal or modification he calls for of the duty on but.. ter, &c., he would not have proposed now to derange them. The last charge of inconsistency, strange to say, does come with a good grace from Sir R. PEEL. This paradox is readily explained. He might charge any Hon. Member with inconsistency who is himself so devoted a slave to consistency, that having for years past enor mously taxed the " bread" of the people, he stoutly per. sists in taxing their bu tter also. 60 days, and the Debt without Interest 29th inst. The Heraldo ascribes the fall existing with regard to the journey of northern provinces. We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday. All the political notabilities had quitted, or were quitting, Paris for the provinces. Marshal SOULT left for his estate in the south of France on Tuesday, and in a few days M. GLIZOT was to leave for Normandy. M. SAUZET had already set out for Lyons, in which city Don CAELOS and the Princess of BETRA had arrived on the 22d. The ilfoniteur gives a long account of the splendid reception of the Duc DE MONT PENSIER by MEHEMET Au. It would appear, from the fol lowing extract from the Debats, that AnD•EL-KADER is again in the field : " Letters from Algiers of the 16th state, in a positive manner, that Abd-el- Kader has returned into Morocco. He has not re. joined his deira, which is still encamped on the banks of the Mel. lonia, but is at Lika, in the Sahara, on the southern part of the, territory of the Hallafs, to the south of ouchda. It may be re remembered that Tasa Is the principal town of this important tribe, and that towards the end of last year Muley Abderrhaman sent positive orders to the Hallafs, forbidding them to hold any communication with Abd.el-Kader. It is thought that the Emir has with him at Lika about from 500 to 600 horsemen. Scarcely had our indefatigable enemy re-entered the Moorish territory than he recommenced his intrigues to keep the minds of the Arabs in a state of agitation and uneasi ness. He sent letters to all the tribes in the south, announcing that in twenty days he should make a movement towards the east, to return into Algeria. He declares that he has with him about 3,000 cavalry, and slon expects considerable reinforcements. The greater number of the Marabouts, who were the instigators and leaders in the recent insurrections in the Dahra and the Ouaren. senis, having with great difficulty escaped the resentment of the people who wished to place themselves under French authority, have taken refuge in Morocco, and rejoined the Emir. These ac. counts have, doubtless, been much exaggerated by the Arab couriers; but, making due allowance for this, it will be necessary to watch with attention the part of the country bordering on Mo rocco. Abel. el.Kader appears to have chosen Djebel Amour for the centre of his fresh attempts against Algeria. This range of mountains is situated under the meridian of the Miliana, at about fifty leagues to the south, and is not less than fifteen leagues in length, and between ten and eleven in breadth."

Now ready, in ave.., with Portrait, Ss. bound, THE FOURTH VOLUME of M. TRIERS' HISTORY of the CONSULATE and EMPIRE, A Sequel to his " History of the French Revolution." Translated by D. FORBES CAMPBELL, Esq. With the sanction and approval of the Author. The present volume comprises, among other important and inter esting topics, the Rupture of the Peace of Amiens—The Camp of Boulogne and Threatened Invasion of England—The Conspiracy of Georges, Sec., Soc. " In Turkish Croatia, as in several other Ottoman provinces the people are in arms against the Government. On the 9th of July they violated the Austrian territory, and suddenly assailed the military cordon guarding the frontiers. The Austrians, whose numbers were very inferior, lost three officers and three hundred soldiers. The insurgents had thus wished to avenge themselves on the Austrians, who had too generously afforded a refuge to the ex pelled Turkish authorities. The Austrian Government has lost no time in demanding satisfaction, and adopting energetic measures to prevent the recurrence of such aggressions." The Phare des Pyrenees of the 20th has the following : " We learn that the Bey of Tripoli has declared war against the Bey of Tunis. A letter from the latter place, dated the evening of the 9th inst., announces that the Bey had Just received both the declaration of war and the news of hostilities having already com menced on the frontiers of the two states." The Executive Council of Zurich has decided on suffering Dr. STEIGER and the three gendarmes who assisted him in his escape to enjoy the rights of hospitality, and on treating them as political refugees.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—Mr. Nugent, of the Box-office of her Majesty's Theatre, has just published a little bijou of a volume which may be very aptly denominated A Guide to the Opera, although Mr. Nugent modestly entitles it " A List of Subscribers to her Majesty's Theatre." It contains a complete list of the member's of corps operatigue and of the orchestra, and also a list of the subscribers, showing the boxes they occupy, and as there is a plan of the interior of the theatre, pointing out the numbeß and the positien of each box, given at the commencement of thieguide, a stranger, with this little volume in his possession, will, be all probability, on his first visit, know more about the subscAlfars to the opera than the oldest habitue there whe is not in possesalies of such a guide.

Besides the flowers above-mentioned, there were many other fine specimens ; also a number of vegetables of a very superior quality, grown by Mr. Randall, of Loughborough Grounds, Brixton, with the patent manure of Charles Bird, Boast, and Co., which has lately, in many instances, proved highly efficacious. There were also several cucumbers of prodigious size, grown by Mr. Wardell, the pro prietor of the Swan Inn, the excellent flavour of which was well tested at the dinner table, after the flower show was concluded. PROPOSED NEW RAILWAY TO MAIDSTONE.—A numerous meeting of the principal inhabitants of Maidstone was held on Saturday last, to consider the best means of obtaining a di. rect railway communication between London and the coast, through Maidstone. It appeared from a communication made to the meet ing that the Croydon Company, having their hands full with the projects for which they have succeeded this session in obtaining Bills, were no longer disposed to entertain their Ashford, Maidstone, and Tunbridge project. It is, therefore, proposed that an indepen dent company should be formed, for the purpose of going to Par. !lament next session for a Bill to construct a railway from the Croydon line at Sydenham, through the centre of the coutsty, direct to Maidstone, and thence to Ashford, there to join the South- Eastern line to the coast. Considerable discussion took place respecting the project, which, with one exception, was unanimously considered to be one offering the most important advantages to Canterbury, as well as affording a very fair promise of profitable investment. A Committee was formed to carry out the project.— Kentish Observer. TEE REPEALED DUTIES.--The Commissioners of the Customs have had under notice the list of articles annexed to their minute of December 31, 1833, which were required to be deposited in warehouses, approved of as special security, or In specially and approved vaults or floors at the legal quays ; and as many of these articles are now free of duty, or subject to low duties only, the Board have considered it advisable to amend such list, and have therefore resolved that the following list of articles, to be in future warehoused at the legal quays on the banks of the river, in warehouses of special security, or in specially approved rooms, floors, or vaults only, b 2 substituted for that contained in the minute above quoted—viz., agates (set), almond paste, beads of all sorts, cambric., candles (spermaceti and wax), playing cards, carmine, china ware or porcelain, crystal (cut or manufac tured). cinnamon, clocks, cloves, coffee, corks (made), dice, enamel, essences of all sorts, extracts of all sorts, feathers (ostrich) dressed feathers (all dressed), flowers (artificial), garnets (set), gauze of all sorts, ginger (preserved), glass manufactures (all excepting bottles covered with wicker, or of green or common glass), hats and bonnets of all sorts, jewels, pearls, and precious stones (set), inkle (wrought), lace of all sorts, mace, mercury, mead, or metheglin, musical-boxes, nutmegs, opium, oil (chymical, essential, or per. fumed of all sorts), paper (all sorts, excepting brown), pepper of all sorts, plate of gold or silver, platting (of bast, cane, horsehair, and straw), powder (brass), ditto (bronze), quinine (sulphate of), Naples soap, silk manufactures, or millinery and silk, and other materials; spirits, cordials, and strong waters of all sorts, succades, and confectionary, sugar (refined), (cigars, snuff, tea, and tobacco, in places speci a ll y sanctioned by the Board for t h at purpose), t h read of all kinds, trutfles, vanillas, vellum, watches, Cologne water, and wine of all sort s ; i n addition to all goods ware h ouse d "f or exports lion only," a n d all goods subject to ad valorem duties of 15!. per cent. or upw ar d s.

A KNIFE AND FORK JURY.--Few things have pleased us more than the announcement that "so unexpected was the verdict of acquittal of Lord Viscount Dillon at the Surrey Ses. sions," in the turnpike case, that after the discharge of the jury, the " twelve gentlemen, at the instigation of his Lordship's soli citor, proceeded to a neighbouring taverii, where they were most liberally treated," W e are delighted to h ear it. The fact pr oves that there is gr a ti tude in law ; that attorneys h ave b owe l s. W e think that the example so wisely set by Lord Dillon's solicitor might be followed, to the exceeding comfort of all men summoned on juries. We would propose that, in all civil actions, the two parties should each send in to the jury-box a bill of fare, to be Seived up for dinner by the winning party. Thus, instead of the jury being compell e d to l i sten to the witnesses, an d to the shock ing Sophistication. o f counsel on both sides, they would only have to judge of tbe relative excellence of the feast promised by either party, and to return their verdict accordingly. Whereupon they might retire to a neighbouring tavern, and, like Lord Dillon's jury—drink the glorious institution of "Trial by Roast and Boiled." —Punch. TUE GENERAL POST LETTER-CARRIERS. — On Thursday night, at a late hour, a meeting, attended by nearly '2OO letter-carriers of the General Post-office, was held at the Owen Glendwr Tavern, Aldersgate-street, for the purpose of preparing a petition to the Postmaster-General, expressive of the grievances under which this body of men consider they labour, and praying his Lordship to abolish the system of payment by fees, and to esta blish a gricluated scale of permanent salary. Mr. Robert Grapes, being unanimously called to the chair, the draft of a petition, pre. viously prepaied by a committee chosen for the purpose, was, after considerable amendments, adopted, and arrangements made for ['lacing it in the hands of the inspector of letter-carriers without delay for presentation to his Lordship the Postmaster-General. The business of the meeting was not concluded before twelve o'clock, at which hour the body of letter-carriers quietly separated We have accounts from Madrid of the 17th instant. At a meeting of the editors of the various Opposition papers, both Absolutist and Progressista,:it had been agreed tq re spectfully petition the Queen to abrogate the ordinance against the press. A new daily paper, entitled the Concileador, and represent iag the Absolutist-Moderado party, which acknowledges the Marquis r VILLUMA as its leader, had appeared at Madrid on the 16th. At Tarragona, on the 14th instant, a most alarming riot took place in consequence of the quinta or conscription. The troops were attacked by a furious mob, armed with clubs and knives. The soldiers being ordered to fire, one of the rioters was killed and another wounded, a great number being made prisoners. Some of the prisoners were embarked on board the brig Cannibal. Tranquillity had been completely restored when the last accounts left. Disturbances had also broken out at Reuss on the 12th, but they had been promptly quelled M. GISPERT, the political chief of Barcelona, has been dis • missed by NARVAEZ for the weakness with which he acted during the recent emeute. The real cause of offence is said to have been M. GISPERT'S promise of pardon to those who would lay down their arms within a certain time—an act of enlightened humanity, and therefore most abhorrent to the feelings of NARVAEZ. As M. GISPERT is brother-in-law to General CONCHA, it was supposed the latter would resign, in which case, either Baron DE MEER, or General MANUEL BRETA would succeed him. General FuLGosto is to be the successor of M. GISPERT. The arrival of the Duke FERDINAND of Saxe Coburg at Lisbon bad furnished matter for gossip to the gobe•mouches of Madrid, as the Duke's son had been spoken of as one of the candidates for the QUEEN'S hand. On the subject of her MAJESTY'S marriage, the Castellano says :—" The QUEEN- MoTitER has addressed a very affectionate letter to the Infante Don FRANCISCO DE PAULA, on the occasion of the fete of his son, Don ExtfrocE. The QUEEN-MOTHER ex presses herself highly satisfied with the excellent qualities she has discovered in the young Prince during his stay at Barcelona. These, and other runionrs, formally contradict the discord which was alleged to exist in the royal family." It would appear, however, that the Presse, which is the organ of the Christina party, that all this is a mere ruse to prevent the progressistas from-starting:Don HENRY as their candi date, and that CHRISTINA is still labouring assiduously to procure for her daughter either aC ar li st or a French alliance. M. PEDRO IitaANDA and two other engineers had left Madrid to explore the country through which the projected railroad between that capital and the Basque Provinces is to pass.

This result, when compared witla what is known to have been expended in other contests, will, the Committee feel, be regarded with entire satisfaction by the Shareholders. "The complete and comprehensive scheme now brought forward will require a capital of 3,300,0004 which it is pro • posed to divide into 66,000 Shares of 501. each, and it is in - tended that the same shall be issued on a deposit of 2/. 10s. per Share, upon the conditions of the forthcoming prospectus. " In renewing their application to Parliament, your Com mittee will obviate the objections urged against their Bill in the Committee, by bringing forward the entire of the scheme originally contemplate& The undertaking now proposed will be for the formation of a direct line of railway to Dover, commencing near the Waterloo and Hungerford Bridges, and proceeding by Blackheath, Woolwich, Gravesend, Rochester, Chatham, Sittingbourne, and Canterbury, terminating at Dover, and by branch also at Deal ; with other branches to Maidstone, Sheerness, Faversham Quays, and Chilham, and also uniting, by its communications at Canterbury, with the line already authorised to Ramsgate and Margate. " With reference to the recent Parliamentary inquiry arising out of the singular petition presented by the South- Eastern Company to the House of Commons-we will only observe that, whatever might have been the views of those who originated that step, it has not left the slightest impute tion either on this Committee as a body or any individua connected with it."

LONDON, SATURDAY, JULY 26, 1845. On the motion that the House do go into Committee of Supply, Mr. P. M. STEWART called the attention of the House to the petition of the Moderator of the General Assembly of the Free Church of Scotland, complaining of the refusal of sites for the erection of Churches to the members of that Church. Sir JAMES GRAHAM deplored the events which had occurred, but did not see how it was possible to remedy the evil by legislation. Mr. HAWES had received many complaints of the conduct of some of the Scotch landholders, who seemed to forget that property had its duties as well as its rights. Mr. CARDWELL defended the landowners. After a few words from Mr. HumE, Mr. SHELL suggested the propriety of granting a regium donwn to the Scotch Free Church. Mr. PRIN3LE trusted that harmony would yet be re stored to the Church of Scotland. Mr. HINDLEY rejoiced at the separation which had taken place, and animadverted in severe terms on the conduct of the Duke of BUCCLEUCII and other land owners in Scotland. After a few words from Nfr. BORTH WICK, the subject dropped. Mr. EWART postponed until Monday his motion on the subject of education. Mr. Hume then rose pursuant to notice to draw the attention of the House to the loss sustained by the public by the circulation of light sovereigns, and suggested that an office should be appointed by the Government to re ceive light gold at its intrinsic value. This gave rise to a regular currency debate, in the course of which the House was addressed by Mr. SPOONER, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, Mr. WILLIAMS, and Sir R. PEEL, after which the House divided, and the motion was ne gatived by a majority of 30. Mr. TUFFNEL, on the motion that the Speaker should leave the Chair, called the attention of the House to the orders issued compelling the sale of lands by the officers in the civil service at Ceylon, and complained of the hardships thus inflicted on them. A short conversa tion ensued, but ultimately the House went into Com mittee pro forma, and immediately afterwards resumed. The other orders of the day were then disposed of and the House adjourned at Two o'clock. In the debate of Tuesday last, in the House of Com mons, on Mr. EWART'S motion, there were some points mooted of remarkable importance to the interests of the general body of consumers in this country and to those of the industrial community mere especially. Mr. EWART declared, on moving for the total repeal of the duties on butter and cheese, that in the course of last year only 20,000 cwt. of butter were destroyed, which might have been previously disposed of with great ad vantage to the poor, but for the duties levied upon its importation, which would not Lave allowed the im porters any adequate profit on the sale. Wo are to imagine, from what transpired in the course of the dis cussion, th at this enormous qut,ntity of one of the most indispensable articles of food was destroyed in bond. Thus, no less than 2,240,000 lbs. of this commodity were, so to sp ea k, w i lfully sacrificed, instead of being placed within the reach of the poor, and the owners, the im porters, must have sustained a loss, assuming the value at only 4d. per lb., of 37,333/. Imagine this value dis tributed among 1,000,000 poor families, for a fortnight's supply of this nutritious article at the rate of upwards of The Lords met at Five o'clock. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from J. T. RUSSELL, complaining that he had been slandered in evi dence given before one of their Lordship's Committees, and praying for redress. The Earl of HAanwicx presented a petition from a shareholder in the Dublin and Galway Railway, com• plaining of the grievous injury that would be inflicted on him if the Bill should not be allowed to proceed, and praying to be heard by counsel at the bar. After a few words from the Earl of DALuousin, The Earl of BESBOROUGH moved the postp mement of the further consideration of this Bill to that day three months. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE moved that the debate should be adjourned until the whole of the evidence should be printed, and in the hands of their Lordships. Lord BROUGHAM went into a lengthened statement of the frauds which had been committed in procuring signatures to the subscription list. Lord MONTEAGLE supported the motion for adjourn merit ; and after a few words from Lord Baouonem, the debate was adjourned till Monday. The Earl of Hariowicss then brought up the re port of the Committee on the Portsmouth Direct Rail way Bill, but was interrupted by Lord BROUGHAM on a point of order, and eventually the report was with drawn. Lard WHARNCLIFFE moved the second reading of the Pauper Lunatics Bill. Lord BEAUMONT opposed the motion, and suggested the propriety of referring the Bill to a Select Committee- On a division, the motion for the second reading was carried by a majority of 16, the numbers being, con tents, 27 ; non-contents, 11. The LORD CHANCELLOR presented the report of the Criminal Law Commissioners, which, after a few ob servations from Lord BROUGHAM and Lord CAMPBELL, was ordel-ed to lie on the table. The Waste Lands (Australia) Bill was read a third time and passed. The other Bills on the table were forwarded a stage and the House adjourned. The Commons met at Twelve, and sat for an hour, during which time they forwarded several Bills a stage. They re-assembled at Five o'clock, when the Bolton and Leigh Railway Bill was read a third time and passed, after a short discussion. In answer to Mr. SHEIL, it was stated by Sir JAMES GRAHAM that the Government intended to propose during next session the following alterations in the Irish Bequests Act-Ist, to refer any disputes respecting bequests to Roman Catholic priests to their Diocesan, instead of to the Commissioners ; 2d, to exempt mo nastic institutions altogether from the operation of the Act ; 3d, to enable tracts of land, of not more than five acres each, to be granted to Roman Catholic priests for glebes, or for the erection of chapels or houses connected with religion.

CONCERT ROOM MANNERS.—Madame Dorus Gras is warbling one of those exquisite arias from Meyerbeer's _Robert le Diable, in the execution of which we thought she was unrivalled, until we heard the more voluminous voice of the gifted Laborde in the same thrilling passages ; now your friend, although not a very frequent visitor of the concert room, nor remarkable for the accuracy of his judg ment in musical matters, is not backward at giving his opinion; when the piece is concluded, therefore, he waits till the ap plause is over, and all being quiet, he remarks to you, in a loud self-satisfied tone, that it was very well sung, but that for his own part he preferred Staudigl's rendering of that com position I A half-suppressed titter is heard around you, and again you become conscious of the eyes of your neighbours. You look about to see if there is any possibility of escape—but the company have closed you completely in, and you resign } ourself to your tormentor with the patience of a martyr. Presently, during the performance of a vocal quartet, your friend in the coloured gloves turns round to you with the inquiry, " Who are these ? Are they the Distin family ?" What is the use of a programme to such an " uncom fortable man !" he makes you at once his programme and his scapegoat, and instead of enjoying a pleasant evening, you are sensible that your friend is making himself look very much like a fool, and that you, his victim, are perhaps by this time beginning to obtain a small portion of pity from the half amused half-disgusted persons by whom you are surrounded.

The evidence given was very voluminous, but the facts are these :—A party, six in number, all working people, met together on Tuesday afternoon last, and agreed to take an excursion up the river in a sailing-boat belonging to a sawyer named Nott, one of the party. They proceeded safely as far as Deuce's timber-dock, Battersea-- marsh, and were making for shore, when John Nott, junior, climbed up the mast and commenced singing. His father called out to him, telling him he had no business there, but he took no notice of what was said, and in about half a minute afterwards David Sanders also climbed up, when the boat careened and fell with her mast towards the Middlesex shore. The four persons in the body of the boat, including the wife of the de ceased, were immersed in the water. The woman clung to a man named Chatwin for some time, but he at lrat got clear and swam to shore. Sanders and Mott, jun., who clung to the mast, were rescued by a boat, and Nott, sen., swam to shore, but the deceased and his wife sank and were drowned. The body of the deceased was recovered in about an hour afterwards, and taken to the Old. house-at-Home beer shop. It was :clearly proved that the young men who ascended the mast did so merely out of bravado, and not with the remotest intention of upsetting the boat, and the jury, satisfied that the occurrence was purely accidental, returned a ver. diet to that effect. It was stated in the inquest-room that the de ceased, who lived at No. 6, Holland.street, Westminster, had left four children wholly unprovidcd for. FALL OF TWO HOUSES IN CLEMENT'S-LANE.—YeS• terday morning, between twelve and one, the utmost alarm wa excited in the neighbourhood of Clement's-lane, Clare-market, by the fall of two houses. These tenements have been for a consider able time condemned, and for the safety of foot passengers a strong hoarding was put up in front of them. Adjoining these" con demned " buildings there still stand other buildings of considerable height, tenanted by several families, the party walls of which are ex ceedingly unsafe ; and it is extremely providential that no one was killed or suffocated, as not the slightest warning was given of the downfal of the premises. The houses, which it was stated were built in the reign of Queen Anne, and were in a state of extreme dilapi dation, tell inwards with a tremendous crash. Upon the occur rence taking place the police instantly called Mr. Cadogan, the surveyor of the parish, who, having inspected the ruins, remained for a considerable time, and at length left, declaring that no further danger of the falling of the contiguous premises need be appre hended, at two o'clock. The families were kindly taken in, in their night dresses, by Mr. Voller, of the White Hart, Clement's- lane, so that they might be saflAylodgeti far the remainder of the nigh is understood that the houses will be taken down yrith- out delay. It has long been contemplated to make a new street through these premises, and it is to be regretted that they were not taken down before, having jeopardised the lives of the inhabitants of the neighbourhood. QUICK WoßK.—Early on the morning of Tuesday last, it was discovered that Langloan Iron Works Store had been broken into, and betwixt seven and eight pounds of money carried off by some thieves. intimation of the affair having been communicated to Mr. John 111'Lachlan, sheriff officci-, Coatbridge, that active genius lost not a moment in making the necessary inquiries and arrangements, and forthwith Mr. Rankine (manager of London Works) and he were mounted and off to Glasgow, where, in the course of their wanderings, they seized upon two well-known characters, on suspicion, at the entrance to the old poor house. The seizure and search was almost instantaneous, and fortu nately the whole of the missing property, w ith the exception of a few shillings, was got on the persons of the two captives; se that in less than six hours from the commission of the rob bery the guilty parties were secured, the money recovered, and, finally, the thieves conveyed from Glasgow to Airdrie, and from Airdrie to Hamilton prison, where they now lie to await the reward of their habitual crimes...
