" The author, we are convinced, is young, otherwise we could hardly see displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be half or his heroes and heroines.

We gather this trom the glowing lan guage in which be expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions on the subjects just mentioned. 'There are several chapters, in 'which links of the story arc dropped, containing most eloquer.t essays on matters that are the prima mobilia of the actions which cha racterise nature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he has market per se peculiarities, to the school of the Disraelis, Man aerscs, and Smythes."—Observer. • Silwood' is no ordinary work ; it contains passages if exceed ing beauty, and is written in pure and forcible language, with great goal taste and power.

If the men of the past generation, to whom a j ()limey from London to Edinburgh was a pilgrimage, and the receipt or dispatch of a letter an event—and not always a welcome one in those days of heavy postage,—if these men cou'l return again to the land of the living, it is easy to imagine the consternation with which they would regard things that are to us mere matters of every-day occurrence. As fami liarity is said to breed contempt, so constant use ren ders marvels no longer marvellous. To us it has ceased to be a matter of astonishment that " the sun has become our portrait painter, and the lightning our hearer of messages." It has even excited interest rather than surprise, that almost incredible con trivance whereby a coeversation can be kept up be tween London and Paris at the interval of only a few minutes between asking a question and obtaining an answer Now America is within a ten days' voyage of England 7 the citizen of London can reach Brighton in an hour, and more wonderful yet, he can take a trip there and back for the cost of 3s. 6.i. ! Ima gine the amazement of one of the slow travellers above alluded to as these and other similarly strange matters were expounded to him I To us, accustomed as we are to their occurrence, they ap pear on reflection hardly so astonishing on philoso phical as they are satisractory on philanthropic grounds. Science is now proving herself one of the tutelary deities of humanity. No beneficent genius of fairy tales ever wrought more marvellous and more blessed transformations in behalf of suffering mortals. Si universal and so efficacious is her ministering agency in the present day, that she appears expressly fitted at the same time to supply the wants and to remedy the ill effects of the rapid march of civilitae tion. It would be premature as yet to enumerate the good effects in a commercial, in a mental, and in * moral point of view, which muat necessarily result from the facile and frequent intercourse of men of all nations. When we are told that the electric wire unites kingdoms whose inhabitants have been looked uron as hereditary feemen, we exult not so much at the new triumph of scientific skill as at the new confirmation of the fact, that by the ministration of that skill . . _ " Man now is knit to man in closer brotherhood.' As a practical evidence of the humane agency of science in the present day, let any one repair on a Sunday morning to t he railwa y stations at the depar ture of the excursion trains. It is a sight not easily to be forgotten, and one fraught with pleasure to Use true philanthropist. Hard-working men doomed to toil on in the narrow streets of a crowded metropolis* whi'e those who require it far less exchange their airy town mansions for the country seat, are now enabled, for one day at least, to breathe the pure air and enjoy the refreshing brw zes. Crowds of children, ay, and of old men too, now go with anxious delight to gags for the first time on " the sea "—the sea which, now thanks to the inventions of science and the public spirit of individuals, is brought within a short distance of the metropolis, and within reach of the limited re sources of the poor man's purse. As a matter of business, of course, these " excursion trains" must prove remunerative to their projectors; but, regarding them on higher grounds, we are disposed to consider them as one of the greatest 000ns recently conferred upon the community. Rightly to estimate the ad vantages, any one disposed to call them in question must consider the circumstances of the majority of those to whom they are available. To the wealthy and privileged few, to whom travelling is now a matter of course, because a matter of fashion, a visit to Paris, or to Rome, or even a trip to Constan tinople, is hardly so much " an event" as to some poor . prisoners of London is a glimpse of that (wan of Which all Englishmen hear so much ! True, steam-boats, and omnibuses, and the recent love of locomotion, which happily, most happily, has ex- tended to the lowest ranks,, have of late of a Sunday thinned the public-houses, and crowded the parks and fie'ds in the neighbourhood of London. Now, however, the beneficial agency has advanced another and a most important step, and we may confidently anticipate from the change a corresponding and beneficial alter ation in the health of the metropolis. Every summer the hot weather sends myriads to the sea-side fur change of air, yet the very class that necessarily remains behind is the very class that most requires the change. To this class it is that these cheap excursions are a very God-send, and, calling this to mind, we repeat that science is become a tutelary divinity to the hard-worked and closely confined multitude, who form the great majority and are the strength and sinew of " the People." Consi dered under this aspect, every new invention is no longer only a matter of individual interest to a few, or gratifying only to the intellectual vanity of man. Experience teaches us that the good of one and the good of all are identical—a lesson repeatedly enforced by the loving precepts of Revelation—a lesson which every incident of history has continually corrobo rated, yet a lesson shish mankind has been very slow to learn. At the present day its truth is more than ever evident, and that truth is at once a consolation and a stimulus. In addition to the other grave mistakes committed by the authors of the Act of 1844, to which we have already directed public attention, there is another alluded to in the report of the Lords' Committee, to which some of the witnesses attributed the pressure on the Bank resources, and the subsequent panic in 1847, viz., the publication of the Bank accounts, in cluding the reserve of the notes in the banking de partment. The Governor of the Bank spoke strongly on this point. He had felt its practical incon veniences ; he bad seen the effect it had on the public mind, and the alarm thereby occasioned when the unemployed notes sunk below the usual amount of 4,000,0001., and it became manifest that there was a deficiency to be drawn in from the public, for which " the screw" will probably be applied. The old pro. verb bath it, " that a little learning is a dangerous thing." Although we do not altogether acknowledge the accuracy of that venerable apophthegm, it is un questionably correct in this instance. The directors know perfectly well that there are certain seasons of the year in which the reserve falls to the lowest, and when by a regular law the tide is turned, and begins to flew into the coffers of the establishment. Being aware that the beneficial stream had set " backward," they are perfectly easy in their minds. But the public, those who watch the state of the reserve, as affording the best index to the actual con dition of the Bank, know nothing of the improved prospects. They see—they look to nothing but the amount of notes unemployed ; and when that is un usually low considerable alarm is excited, which speedily degenerates into wild panic., and a run upon the Bank's resources, at the time when they should be assisted as far as practicable. The Governor at tributed the danger which arose in 1847 to this cause, an opinion in which Mr. Tooke, whose admirable work on prices attracted so much attention, fully participated. Indeed, when it it is considered that the avowed object of the Act was to place the banking department on the same footing as that of a private establishment, that in that respect it was to be " untouched and unin terfered with," to manage its affairs according to its own discretion, like any other banking concern, it is difficult to understand why it should be bound to publish its private affairs, and the amount of its bank ing reserve, any more than the other bankers with whom it was placed in competition. The Governor, who desires tha c the Act should be maintained with as little alteration as possible, proposed that the whole of the accounts should be published, with the exception of the reserve ; but this was most properly objected to by the Committee, who clearly pointed out the objections to such a course, which they considered " wholly inadmissible" —for " such accounts must practically furnish the ele ments or data from which the amount of reserve may, with a greater or less degree of accuracy, be deduced or inferred. If the amount of reserve could thus be accurately calculated, the proposed remedy would be no corrective of the system complained of. If the amount of reserve were to be inferred inaccurately, such a proceeding would be an aggravation of the inconvenience, rather than a safe or effectual re medy." It is impossible not to coincide with this reasoning, or to dissent from the conclskion arrived at by the Committee, " that it would appear more in accordance with legislative wisdom to reconsider the rule itself, against which there can hardly be stronger presumptive evidence than the suggested necessity of concealing the consequences to which it leads." Having thus clearly pointed out the total failure of the Act in attaining the objects contemplated by its framers—having shown the injurious consequences o many of its provisions, and their fa►al effect on the national prosperity, it might be supposed that the Committee would strongly recommend its total and unqualified repeal. In this respect, however, they exhibit a strange delicacy in dealing with this part of the subject. They state that "an attempt to enforce by law, under all circumstances, one fixed and inflexible rule for the management of a bank of issue, seems inconsistent with the best written authorities. with the general principles of economical science, as well as with the testimony of many witnesses of practical knowledge and experience ;" and add, "it can hardly fail to be productive of most serious evils, more especially when a continuation of issues, indis pensable in a state of adverse foreign exchanges, is rendered imperative, as it is by the Act of 1844, under circumstances which may be wholly opposite." They show the impolicy of letving " cases which may arise once in five or six years, or even at periods more remote," to be dealt with by " the irregular exercise of the mere authority of the Crown and its advisers." In place, however, of the total repeal of this most mischievous Act, they pro pose the introduction of "a discretionary relaxing power, to be exercised only during the existence of a favourable foreign exchange." As to the modes in which " this relaxing power;" which our readers will recollect was urged so strongly by the metropolitan bankers previous to the passing of the Act, may be ex ercised, three plans are suggested by which the object might be attained, viz.—" a legalised authority vested in the Government—in the Government and in the Bank conjointly, or in the Bank of England alone. The Committee greatly prefer the latter al ternative. They show the danger of leaving the power exclusively in the Government, which is " liable to be influenced by political rather than eco nomical considerations ;" and add, " it is to be appree headed that the exercise of an undefined and extra ordinary power would depend too much on the per sonal character or position of the Minister for the time being." They had manifestly an eye to the Exchequer when penning this passage. What possible use could there be in leaving such a power in the hands of Sir CHARLES WOOD, who, up to the 20th of October, 1847, could not dis cover that there was any pressure whatsoever on the commercial interests, or any difficulty in obtaining cash advances on suitable securities ? It would be but a further mockery to place the remedy in the hands of such a man, who would not administer it until the patient had expired. Considering, there fore, " with how little wisdom the world is governed," and the incompetent and mulish blockheads who oc casionally wriggle themselves into high and respon sible situations, there cannot be much doubt but that the Committee were justified in recommending that the relaxing power should not be placed in the hands of the Government. On the second point they were equally correct in wishing it not to be placed in the Government and Bank conjointly. There would be the divided re sponsibility, which, according to the Committee, "frequently becomes no responsibility at all." " The Government might cast the responsibility on the Bank, the Bank on the Government, and, in the conflict, the interest of the public would be forgotten or defeated." There is quite sufficient force in this objection to induce us to coincide with the Committee to pass on to the next mode, which, however, we cannot regard with much greater favour than either of its predecessors. If the relax ing power is to be vested in the Bank authorities, to be exercised at their mere will and pleasure, what, we ask, is the use of the restriction that can thus easily be dispensed with ? Why should it be retained if it can be set aside with impunity on the first unfavour- THE SUN, able breeze ? The knowledge of the fact that the Bank had, for its own security, found it necessary, or even expedient, to avail themselves of this power, would excite an alarm and a panic more for midable than those of 1847, and which could not perhaps so easily be alleviated. On the whole, we think that there are few indeed who have gone with us in our remarks CM this report, of which, notwith standing its rather lame conclusion, we must still ex press our admiration, who will not agree with us in saying that the Act of 1844 must ba erased from the national statute-book, of which it is a stain and blot. Delenda est Carthago. In this respect no interme diate course, no compromise is practicable. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Republican and Legitimatist journals con sider the speech of the PRESIDENT ut Cherbourg as a " bid" for the empire, and comment upon it accord ingly. The Opinion Publique and the AeselnAlsie Nationale call upon al the friends of order to rally round the National Assembly should the Plum. DENT attempt to interfere with its privileges. As the Assemblie Nationale is supposed to represent the sentiments of General CIIANGARNIEB, the article in that journal has more than ordinary significance. The Republican journals, in commenting on this speech, speak more in sorrow than in anger. The Siicle, in alluding to the expression of the PRESI DENT "If there is a town in France which ought to be Napoleonienne it is Cherbourg," and to his hints that the public works at Cherbourg could not be finished " unless by their giving him the means to accomplish them,' says " We wish we could suppress the painful impression made upon us by these expressions, which imprudently suggest dangerous and subversive theories from the mouth of the chief magistrate of the Republic. We must speak frankly. M. Louis Bonaparte, in provoking political changes, that is to say revolutions, has forgotten the high mission with which the people have invested him, and which, above and beyond all is a mission of order and of peace; be has forgotten the loyal words pronounced by himself upon the day of his advent to power. It is certainly afflicting to see compromising friends push their seal and ignorance of what is passing so far as to propose in their newspapers, or in the meet- ings of a secret society the overthrow of the Republic and the erection of an hereditary empire; yet, after all, these anarchical aspirations are only important because they are allowed to remain unnoticed by the public tri bunals. Bat that the chief of the executive power and the eandataire of the nation should proclaim, with al most puerile perseverance, the pretension to change the form of government; that he should, as it were, offer a bargain, undertaking to terminate certain public works, in exchange for a prolongation of powers, presents to our eyes, we must say, a sad spectacle; and we would willingly hope that, in the ardour of improvisation and the momentary excitement of a banquet, and perhaps also under the perfidious influence of courtiers and flat terers, M. Louis Bonaparte has allowed himself to be hurried beyond his intention." The incautious proceedings of the friends of the PRESIDENT have greatly alarmed M. TIIIER3 and the Burgraves. The Corsaire announces that— " M. Thiers is returning post haste from Germany, to prevent being attempted the rash experiment which, in a letter to a friend, he says he forese.s will be made, unless prevented by good advice." These journals give some curious particulars relat ing to the Society of the 10th Decomber. It was founded by General PLAT, and numbers 7,500 mem bers in Paris. M. ROMIEU, the ex-editor of the &a polean, and the author of a work entitled " The Era of the Caesars," in which he lauds the absolute go vernment of an emperor chosen by Praetorian Guards as the best of all possible governments, is the chief. It is divided into 300 brigades of 25 men each, who receive 15 francs a month when not on active duty, but when they attend to escort or cheer the PRESIDENT through the streets or to get up a cry of " Vire Na pollon," or "Vise 1 'Empereur,' they receive a franc and a half a day. The source from which this money is derived is unknown. The PRESIDENT attended mass on board the flag ship at Cherbourg on Sunday, after which the ships were exercised. He dined on board the Friedland, and entertained at dinner the following English naval officers :—Admiral Sir C. J. Ommanney, K.C.8., Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane, K.C.8., Rear- Admiral Sir Charles Napier, K.C.8., and Rear-Ad miral Sir Edmund Lyons, G.C.8.; Captain Chads, , Captain Michael Seymour, Captain W. H. Hall, and Captain Rodney Mundy. The PRESIDENT was presented with a gold medal, signifying his election as an honorary member of the Royal Western Yacht Club. The greater number of the English vessels left Cherbourg on Sunday night. The Moniteur publishes the following telegraphic dispatch : " CHERBOURG, SEPT. 8, " HALF-WAIT SEVEN IN THE MORNING. " Yesterday morning, at nine o'clock, the President visited the arsenal, and inquired minutely into the amount of works which still remain to be executed in order to terminate the port. " At twolva o'clock he went on board the Friedland. All the vessels were dressed out with limp; they saluted the President as he passed with all their artillery. Everywhere an immense crowd encumbered the Trays, and %sitnt ssed this magnificent spectacle. Af er having successively visited several vessels, the President went on the mole, the gigantic works of which filled him with admiration. Ho afterwards went on beard the Mintrve, where is established the gunners' school, and witnessed some ball-firing at a mark. "In the evening they offered a ball in ore of the large rooms of the arsenal, which was decorated with remarkable taste. Several thousand persons were pre sent. " Everywhere, at the arsenal, on board the fleet, on the mole, at the ball, the President was saluted with unani mous and most warm acclamations." M. DR PERSIGNY has gone to ,join the PRESIDENT at Cherbourg. M. DE LAROCHEJACCJELIN has written a letter to the editor of the Ordre, to say that it is not true that he was badly received by the CJunt DE CHAMBORD at Wiesbaden, or that he requested the Prince to blame the line of policy of the majority of the Legitimatists in the Assembly. He adds, that it was not he, but others who spoke of the necessity of the party taking a new and more independent attitude. He declares that the Legitimatists will give proof that they have resolved so to do. The Ordre says—" The most devoted servants of the Orleans family have been for souse days past in consternation. It appears that the health of the Queen of the Belgians causes great disquietude. It is said that she has had an affection of the chest, which is so grave as to require the greatest care. It is not even impossible that the ex• Queen of the FRENCH hill visit Ostend to give maternal attention to her daughter. Accounts from Toulon state that letters received from the province of Constantine announce the de cline of cholera in that place. The steam corvette Viloce left Toulon on the sth for Civita Vecchia with the mails and a number of military passengers. A detachment that had been under orders to embark on board the ViSloce for the army of occupation of Rome has been counter manded. It was thought likely that that army would be still further diminished. The steamer Eclaireur had returned from Tunis, and reports the disappearance of the cholera there. The steam-cor vette Le Roland, recently built, was launched at Toulon on the sth. The Council-General of the Seine-et-Marne has adopted a resolution expressing a wish that the re mains of Louis PHILIPPE shall be brought to France.

The Anteiger Zeitung of the sth says—" In the conferences that took place in Ischl between the Mi nisterial President and the Russian Chancellor of State, the affairs of Italy, next to those of Germany, formed the chief subject of debate." The permanent Commission of the states of Hesse Cassel have called on the Ministry to withdraw their unconstitutional ordinance authorising the collection of taxes without the consent of the States, and have prohibited the authorities from übeyirg it. The Prussian Staats Anzirger publishes a report of the state of the railways in Prussia at the close of 1849. From this it appears that there were in Prussia on the 31st December 383,491 German miles of railway, including those of Mag deburg, Wittenberg, &c., opened in the course of that year. The total cost of those constructed was . 145,440,00 0 dolls., including the materials. The number of locomotives employed on those lines was 490 ; the carriages, 1,298 ; the goods waggons, 6,378 ; the number of travellers, not including those on the new lines, was 8,497,948; the quantity of merchandise, 33, 313 , 795 cwt.

The statements about the growing crop of Cotton were conflicting; from some sections the drought was complained of, but this was not generally the case. During the present year about 13,000,000 dollars in gold have been received at New York from California. The amount of immigration at New York was as large nearly as for some time past, 6,685 persons having arrived there in the week preceding the date of our ad vices. One ship from Liverpool had 750 persons on board. The American Government was resolved to put in force the law preventing the landing of convicts. Eight out ten of those from Bermuda were in custody at New York, awaiting the sailing of the brig Swan to Bermuda. The other two got away from the city.

A vessel arrived from St. Domingo had brought the intelligence that the Emperor Ftiustin I. was fitting up an expedition against the Windward Islands, both by sea and land. It was said the naval force would consist of two large square-rigged vessels, and a propeller; the latter was in preparation in some part of Europe, sup posed in England.

THE HAGUE, SEPT 9.—The Stoats Courant of this day publishes the programme for the opening of the States General by his Miksty the KING in person on Monday, the 16:h of September. By a decision of the deputies of the States, the scrutiny of the ballot for the provincial states for the duchy of Limbourg, is fixed for Monday, the 16th. Maestricht sends 7 deputies ; Ruremond, 4 ; Venloo, 5 ; Sittard, 6; and Heerlen, s.—Dutch Papers, Sept. 6. BELGIUM. The KING and QUEEN, with their royal children, are now at Os end, where they intend living in re tirement for a few weeks. HAYNA.II has arrived at Aix-la-Chapelle, suffering from the severe flogging he received from the Bank side draymen. He was treated while passing through Belgium with silent contempt. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. Accounts have been received from Rendsburgh to the 4th. The position of the hostile armies remains unaltered. The Swabian 31ersury says:— " IV e learn positive fy from an authentic source that the great European Powers have resolved to terminate the quarrel between Denmark and the Duchies. It is decided that the order for the succ,-ssion to the throne shall be settled, and that England, Russia, and France, shall SCA I special plenipotentiaries to Copenhagen for this purpose. The pretensions of the line of Augusta:- burg to the succession to the throne of the Duchies will also be discussed. Denmark has given formal assurance that she wi!l observe the greatest moderation in regard to the Duchies. —" It is said that Prussia will accede to the arrange ments agreed upon." A declaration from Denmark, on the ratification of the peace with Prussia, arrived at Berlin on the sth. In this note Denmark expresses her regret that Germany has not an integral Government which might ratify the treaty, and declares that under the present state of things, and in compliance with the representations of a mediating power (England), Denmark will accept the ratification of the individual German Governments. The Emperor of RUSSIA has conferred the order of St. Anne on the Danish General KROGH, the victor of Idstedt, and has sent him the diamond insignia of the order. STRAND THEATRE. Another ballet from the prolific brain of Flexmore, entitled Perequillo, or Terror in a 7'ub, was produced last night with immense success, and adds an addi tional laurel to the well-earned reputation of that un rivalled buffo. His own saltatory feats and comicali ties presented, as usual, the acme of the agile combined with the grotesque. Thrice had he, in compliance with unanimous shouts, to achieve a " Burlesque Extravaganza" with inimitable prowess. Several dances of diversified character were introduced, among others a pas Styrien, in which Miss Kate Kirby and Cormack were encored ; an Ecossaia by the former accomplished danseuse ; a Highland rant, capitally danced by Cormack, whose precision and brilliancy we have seldom, if ever, seen more advan tageously developed than in those two perform ances; a pas de deuce by Caroline Parkes and Ernile Richarde, which was rapturously ap plauded; a Swiss dance, executed with great naivet4 by Miss M'Ewen; a Medley by Miss Emma Mears, and a Cracovienae by the Misses Bolton and Hen drick; the entire being wound up:with a grand general polka by the full corps de ballet. Special mention must be accorded to aladlle. Palser, who completely captivated the enthusiastic spectators. The singularly prepossesssing appearance of this young and lovely artiste, the exquisite gracefulness, finished execution, and feathery hi s htness of her movements, amply justi fied:the unbounded admiration which her enchanting qualifications universally inspired. The house was crowded to the ceiling, as it doubtless will be during the continuance of such an attractive array of Terpsi chorean talent so harmoniously and brilliantly blended under Flexmore's masterly supervision. ASTLEY'S AMPHITHEATRE. The revival of Mazeppa has been a great bit. It has already been performed upwards of seventy consecutive ights, and still continues to attract over-flowingto axes. Mr. Batty has also engaged a most accomplished vocalist, Mias Annie Hardie, who sings Scotch ballads most effectively. We know not when we have been more pleased than we were by her rendering of the beautiful ballad, "Jessie, the Flower of Dumblane." The audience were in raptures, and Miss Annie Hardie has already become an immense favourite with the patrons of Astley's. POSTAL REGULATIONS IN SOUTH WALES.—The recent alteration in the route of the London mail, by which letters are forwarded from the metropolis and the west of England into South Wales, vid Bristol and across the river Severn at the old passage, instead of through Gloucester, has caused much dissatisfaction and inconvenience at Swansea and other towns on the rr" allcaed grievance lies in the fact that the mail ''subject to the delays and irregu/ _oat mode of transit, and that in t _ ,onveniences will be much increart" -`; t 4 London mail was delayed two ho. ed Swansea; and this too in the summer seas' .ays have arisen, and in con sequence the inhabii anticipate that when the winter really sets in, their ..espondence, instead of arriving at eig'4 A.M. at Swansea, will not reach them until eleven and twelve o'clock. To the west of Swansea a postal delay is of much consequence, as it reduces the opportunity for reply by return to a very short time -at Llanelly not more than two hours remaining; at Carmarthen the time is even still less. A serious amount of inconvenience may thus be caused, and, in order to avoid this, and procure the transmission of the mails through Gloucester as hitherto, the inhabitants are about to memorialize the proper authorities on the subject, in order to remedy the evil before the winter closes in. GLASGOW, SEPT. 7.—Cotton--The market for cotton wool has been inactive all the week; purchases are only made for immediate use by the spinners, and the prices of this day week are scarcely supported. The recent ac counts from America have had no effect on the trade. A moderate business doing in yarns and poops at stationary rates. Pig Iron - Our pig iron market has teen dull during this week, and little business has been done, the scrip ques tion having somewhat depressed prices. To day mixed numbers are offerel at 425. 6d. cash, and 435. three months open time ; buyers at 6d. less. No. 1 Gartsherrie ' 435. 3d. to 435. 6d.; bars are dull at from 5/. ss. to 51. 7s. 6d. A MERCILESS SPORTSMAN.—Thomas Lee, of Nen thal, on Alston Moor, whilst shooting on Greenhill Moss, rose a covey cf 15 grouse, about 50 yards off. Six fell to the first barrel and four to the second, seven of which were shot dead, acd three lamed. The day before he shot 12 brace in succession.—The Witness. ST. STEPIIEN'S, WALBROOK.—The repairs are about to be commenced, we hope effectively. The pictu-e, by B. West is taken down to be placed in the north transept, and a window is to be opened over the other. It is ex pected the Grocers' Company will present one of stained glass. The carved work has been placed in the hands of Mr. If,,gers. The organlgallery will be enriched similarly to that of St. Mary-at-bill. Over the a lt ar i s t o b e pl ace d a new cornice, in with the style of the church, and enriched with carvings of fruit and flowers. The architect is Mr. Turner; the builder, Mr. Young.— The BARTHOLOMEW CLOSE.—The inhabitants of Bar tholomew-close, though situate in the heart of the city of London, have hitherto claimed exemption from Corporation services and fines as non-freemen. That right, however, is about to be disputed by the Bakers' Company, who have commenced proceedings for the recovery of penalties against some of the inhabitants, and subscriptions have been opened amongst them to defend their claim, which is made under a charter granted by Henry I. to Prior Bolton, and confirmed by Henry VIII. to Sir R. Bich. The district includes all that part of the City lying between Smithfield and Alders gate-street and Little Britain and Long-lane. BIRTH EXTRAORDINARY AT WO➢IBWELL'S ROYAL MENAGEs.m.—Another of the splendid lionesses contained within this collection gave birth to two remarkably fine cubs on Tuesday last, and, strange to say, they are pure white! Mr. Wombwell states that he has bred lions, &c., for up wards of forty years, but never knew or heard of such an occurrence previously.— Scotsman. THE GREAT BarrAlN.—The negotiations for the purchase of the Great Britain, to carry on a trade between Panama and San Francisco, have fallen through, and this noble vessel is destined, for a time at least, to remain idle in her present quarters.— Liverpool Albion. ROCHDALE SAVINGS liaaix.—The Right Hon. Yox Maule, Secretary-at-War, has given orders that all those pensioners who had deposits in the Rochdale Savings Bank shall have their dividend made up to 20s. in the pound. A RUNAWAY HORSE. On Sunday forenoon, as Mr. Thompson, the wholesale shoe-manufacturer of Church street, Spitalfields, was proceeding down Snowhill i❑ a four wheeled phaeton, accompanied by his wife, another lady, and one of his children, his horse took fright, and ran away at a furious pace. The animal was not stopped until it dashed with great violence through the shop-front of Messrs. Emery, linendrapers, at the corner of Farringdon street and Holborn-hill. The amount of damage caused by the collision was very considerable, the plate-glass windows boing shivered to atoms, and the stock and fittings much injured. Mr. Thompson received some severe bruises. The horse was badly cut, and the phaeton was dashed to pieces; but the females fortunately escaped with very trifling itiht7. DARING HIGHWAY ROBIBERY.-011 Thursday night, about ten o'clock, as Mr. Garrett, agent to the Royal Ex change Assurance Company, was returning home to his resi dence, No. 22, Carter-street, \Valworth, he was seized by one of a gang of fur men, who knocked him down, and plundered him of a valuable watch. In the meanwhile Mr. Garrett, who is a very hale stout man for his years (being upwards of 70), roared so loudly that the thieves made off without rifling his pockets, in one of which he bad no less a sum than between 400'. and st)Ot. in notes and gold. HARLOW HORSE AND CATTLE EAIE, SEPT. 9. This fair, which immediately succeeds that of Barnet, and is particularly noted for the great supply of cart colts sent from Norfolk and Suffolk, caused f buyers a very good attendance from Kent, Surrey, and Sussex, two-year-old colts selling from 18 to 25 guineas each ; three years old 30 to 40 ditto; five year old horses, suitable for London work, 50 to 65 ditto; yearlings, 10 to 15 ditto. ♦ large show of Welch poneys, making horn four to eight ditto.
