PHUT of the--PUBLIC JOURNALS. PROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. C; LOBE.—Syniptonis indicative of increasing discon ts et among the supporter's, of Mildsters are exhibited at the Agricultural Protection meetings. The near ap proach of the Parliar:actuary Session scorns to have been se:ected for these manifestations of landed dissatis faction with the policy of Government —possibly with the hope of awing Sir Robert Peel into obedience. We scarcely know which is mcst the object of pity to lookers on—a Minister whose policy is watched w;th jealousy, and whose measures are the subjects of incessant upbraiding and complaint by the party which pieced him in power as the protector of their interests, o r the piKty "the agricultural interests," said the Doke a Richmond in the House of Lords, " placed tie Minister where he is, and it can deprive hint of este power it conferred, if he betrays the in- Wrests to which he owes his elevation." Though uttered by a Duke, the head of the Pretec tion-to-Agriculture party, they were vain words. From • the day they were spoken, down to the present day, • the agriculturists have filled the country with their com plaints of the sad consequences of Sir Robert Peel's " tliding-scale " and tariff, followed, as they were, by his Canada Curn Bill and other measures of minor influence, but having the same tendency. Yet Sir R. Peel con 'limes to preside over the councils of the country. In different alike to the supplications and objurgations of the agriculturists and the other protected inter( sts, whom he deceived by his cajolings when leader of Opposition, he continues to alarm their apprehensi )ns. They meet, it - ! - ; they have often met, to upbraid Sir Robert Peel with his perfidy ; to deprecate any further inroads upon their interests ; and to threaten rice with their vengeance if he venture to proceed ono tier stop in the course of free trade, of which he has op my eepres-ed his admiration and approval "in the ab stract." Which, we repeat, is most to be pitied—the b.trayer, or the betrayed ; the Minister who acqu'red power by deceptioir ; or the interests which trusted to his smiles, and put a desired interpretation on his ambiguous phrases ? The agriculturists now confess that they find themselves in a worse position than they would have occupied had the Government they dis placed been allowed to pass the measure which excited their alarms, and provoked the combined opposition by which it was defeated. They are now'the prey of dis content and anxiety. Perplexity as to the future in creases the burden - of their dissatisfaction. They toil without recompense, and have no hope of a beneficial change. Such is the staple of the lugubrious speeches which have been delivered at several Agricultural Protec t-on meetings recently held in different parts of the country. We have the proceedings - of three of these meetings hat within the present week. At Glom ster, the at tt ndance at the anniversary meeting of the Farmers' Club was extremely meagre ; and those who were pre sent were there rather to give utterance to complaints against the Government and their landlords, than to communicate anything satisfactory as to their present or prospective condition. The report, though evi dently drawn up with caution, stated that "On the subject of the tenure of land, it had been a point tl at had excited much doubt, whether it ought properly to bo introduced for discussion in a society whose more immediate object was to promote iractical improvements in agriculture. It was, however, old, that no very great advancement could be made in firming unless some security was felt in the tenure by which the farmer held his land, so as to secure him a re turn for capital expended, and therefore the Committee had sanctioned the introduction of the subject, which Ns mild form ono of the early questions for discussion." '1 his question gave rise to considerable disagreement. Whether the landlord should not make the out!ay, and charge a per tentage upon the rent, instead of requiring the tenant to supply the means of improved cultivation out of his diminished resources, was warmly debated. In the end, however,- " a Committee was ap pointed to draw up a form of agreement between land lord and tenant, suitable to the wants of the Vale of G:oucester." One tenant-farmer (a Mr. Watts) declared, that the cause of the very thin attendance at the meet ing was " the disinclination of landlords to help their tenants in these times of difficulty and distress." Another d• dared, " these were not times for farmers to lay out the it money in improvement , .." The health of Earl Dscie being given from the chair, was the signal for cot siderable altercation ; some refusing to drink the tot st because of his Lordship's speech at a meet ine of the Anti-Corn-law League in Covent-garden TLeatre, in which he declared an opinion fa vourable to the abolition of the corn-laws ; others calling upon the objectors to confute his Lordship's arguments before they refused to drink his health on account of them. Is not this a pretty state of things at a Farmers' Protection dinner ? Verily the straw is moving—and in the right direction too. At the North ampton Agricultural Protection meeting, on Wed nesday, the symptoms of dissatisfaction with the measures of Ministers were yet more unequivocal. Sir Charles Knightley, one of the county Members, spoke out his mind in terms which would be worthy of attention. were they likely to be fol lowed up in Parliament- by any movement indicative of a settled purpose. As it is, they are mere empty com plaints ; expressive, however, of the deep regrets of the party for having sold themselves to Peel, who leads them captive at his will. The Hon. Baronet, -how ever, did his bet to convince his auditory that he felt and deplored the helpless condition in which they had placed themselves. He begun at the beginning ; enu merated each of the measures relating to agriculture which Sir Robert 1). el has introduced, and showed the evil effects of those measures on the interests of agriculture. At the Sussex Agricultural Protection Society meeting, held yesterday, the Duke of Richmond in the chair, there Wig much of compliment to the Noble Duke who presided—much of earnest exhortation to union of opinion and action, in order to effectually stem the torrent which was setting in against " protection ;" and a manifest wish on the part of the Duke to modify and subdue the restlessness and discent,nt which existed on account of the policy which her Majesty's Ministers hove adopted with respect to agricultural produce. The Duke has had the mortifying ond nauseous task imposed on him of eating his own leek. His threat of expelling Peel has failed. Tie agricultural Members in the House of Commons have shown that they lack the pluck for which his Grace of Richmond gave them credit, when he lifted up his warning voice in Parliament, and threatened the Minister with venge ance. They have broken faith with their constituents, as Sir Robert Peel has done with the agriculturists, and other class interests. Their votes in the House of Com mons are in direct antagonism with their speeches at the hustings. Sir Robert Peel knew of what kind of stuff his majority was composed, and lie acted accordingly. Like the Duke of Newcastle, the Right Hen. Baronet knew and still knows, he " can do what he will with his own." He has tried, and proved them as subservient to his purpose as ha could wish. His future policy will he shaped in accordance with the past. NDARD. —We insert elsewhere the opinion given by the Queen's Advocate and Mr. Bethell against the several measures proposed to be offered to the Ox ford Convocation on the 13th proximo. We own that tl,is Opinion surprises us, not only because it seems, upon Kinciple, very unduly to limit the power of the Uni versity, but also because we have reason to believe that tl e board had not taken the course that it adopted without the very best legal advice. However, if the matter is to go off it is much better that it should go off upon a legal quibble than in any other way. The board has honourably vindicated itself before the country by seriously attempting to do what is right—and the country will " take the will for the deed," whatever the event. This is the position in which we are placed by the real tyrant of this. nation—the grim despot who paralyses every legitimate authority — " Law - C osts." 'Lo proceed by legal process against Mr. Ward would prol,ahly cost the Unieersity ten thousand pounds, and every attempt to enforce the proposed statute, if adopt. d, would probably cost as much. The bishops in the same wey are p.ecluded from clearing the Church of un rthy or disgraceful ministers—" Viral lex," as Rngsle rnekes his " Ignoramus ". exclaim, and an " Ignoramus" e must be, who can patiently contemplate the con tinuance of such a state of the law. - MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

At the public sales held yesterday merchants displayed firmness and bought in and withdrew large parcels at full prices ; of the total quantity offered, amounting to 21,179 packages, 5,000 were disposed of, 1,500 of which consisted of Pouchong, which went at an advance on last sale's rates of 1d to 2d, and on fine scented Orange Pekee the rise was• 2(1 per lb ; all other sorts of Tea brought the former value, but the biddings for such were languid.

(YESTERDAY.) M.4NSION-1100SE. POTSONOUS CAN,pLES. — Mr. Robert Black more, so licitor, yesterday applied to the Lord Mayor, under circumstances which he considered much interested the public. A long statement had appeared in a London newspaper of the Bth instant, relative to the use of arsenic in the manufacture of composite can dles, and that statement had been copied into the pro vincial papers and otherwise extensively circulated, so as to produce an unfavourable impression upon the public mind against all other manufacturers of can dles called " composite candles," except the parties to whom the matter particularly referred. The LORD AL.YOR—I do not think that I can en tertain any application upon such a subject, as I can not see how it can come under the jurisdiction of a magistrate. Mr. Blackmore said he apprehended that he could show how the Lord Mayor. -could grant the ap plication he had to make. He represented the firm of Francis Tucker and Co., of Kensington and South Moiton-street, Grosvenor-square, wax and tallow chandlers, by special appointment, to her Majesty, and these gentlemen considered that, after the public state ment that had been circulated, they might be thought guilty of mixing arsenic in the composite candles made by them, and, therefore, felt bound, under the sanction and approval of the chief magistrate, to make a solemn declaration that neither arsenic nor any other poison or poisonous ingredient was, or ever had been, used in the making of any composite or other candles manufactured or sold by them. The prin cipal partners of the firm were present. The LORD MAYOR—The declaration they are de sirous of making is a voluntary one, and upon what ground am I to consider that it is ex pedient for me to permit it to be made ? Here his Lordship read the 13th section of chapter 62 of the sth and 6th of William IV., viz., "It shall not be lawful for any justice of the peace, or others, to administer any oath, affidavit, or solemn affirmation, touching any matter or thing whereof he bath not jurisdiction or cognisance by some statute in force at the time being, provided that nothing herein shall be construed to extend to . any oath, &c., on any matter or thing touching the preservation of the peace, or the trial, or punishment of offences, or touching any proceeding before either House of Par liament, or any Committee thereof, respectively ; nor to any oath, affidavit, or affirmation, which may be required by the law of any foreign country to give validity to instruments in writing designed to be used in such foreign countries respectively." "Now, I do not see," added his Lordship, "how the excep tion applies at all to your case. It appears to me that I should be subject to a penalty if I allowed the de claration to be made." Mr. Blackmore requested to be permitted to direct the Lord Mayor's attention to that part of the same Act, which stated as follows :—" But as it may be necessary and proper, in many cases not herein spe cified, to require confirmation of written instruments or allegations of proof of debts, or of the execution of deeds, or other matters, he it therefore enacted, that it shall, and may be lawful for any justice of the peace, or other officer, &c., to take and receive the declara tion." In his opinion, the subject upon Which his application was grounded, came fairly under the head of " other matters." It was, he urged, particularly desirable to get his Lordship's sanction to a declara tion which would have the effect of removing an in jurious impression which had been made. The Loan MAYOR—Have you made the declara tion in the form of an affidavit ? Mr. Blackmore— No, my Lord ; the declaration is in strict conformity with the schedule in the Act. The LORD MAYOR—I shall to-morrow let you know whether I can permit the declaration in such matter to be made, but my impression at present is, that it does not refer to the exceptions in the Act of Parliament. His Lordship's opinion will be given this day. An eld woman named Mary Kirby, who had been for some years in the employment of Messrs. Moses, in Aldgate, was fully committed for trial upon the charge of having robbed her employers of galoons and buttons. FLANDERS MAIL. BRUSSELS, JAN. 21.—The Chamber of Represen. tatives discussed and adopted to-day the project of law on the importation of cattle. It then proceeded to the project of law relative to contagious diseases among cattle. Articles 1,2, and 3 were agreed to. The King of Bavaria has just adopted an important measure respecting the navigation of the Rhine; he has decided that goods embarked in one of the ports of RheniSh Bavaria shall enjoy the restitution of all tolls coming to Bavaria ; in the whole portion of the river through which they have passed. This_measure, which has been long since adoted by France and Holland, must necessar il y be adopted by the other States on the banks of that river, if they will not see their ports deserted for those of Bavaria. It will lead sooner or later to the complete abolition of the Rhine toll, which is absolutely necessary, if the navigation of the river is to support the competi tion with the railways. The King will not set out for Ardenne until to morrow. His Majesty will he accompanied in this excursion by Mr. Conway. His Majesty will pro bably go also to St. Hubert, and will return by the end of the month. CONSTANTINOPLE, DEC. 31.—1 t is well known that about four years ago the French Ambassador prott.ised the protection of hi; Government to the charitable society for the relief of poor Franks (Sccieta Com merciale Artigiana), which led to unpleasant discus sions with some representatives of Roman Catholic Powers whose subjects would not have the protection of a for, ign Power forced upon them. The condUct of the French Legation was considered to be wise, as a new attempt to appear as the first protecting power of the Catholic interests in the East, which must seem the more strange in the present case, as the question related to a temporal, purely eharitalde 'nstitution, in which all nations took part. An arrangement has been made by which the Societ Artigiana is to be successively, for one year, under the protection of the Catholic Powers which have tepreszmtatives here, in alphabetical order.

The Superintendent dis patched Watson and Tomlinson, in plain clothes, who, being on the 19ok-out, before twelve o'clock the same night, saw George Nevitt, the suspected party, and two women, loading a cart with rags and bones. Nevitt drove the horse and cart out of Brentwood, towards London, when the officers followed, and after they had got a short distance stopped the horse, and examined the contents of the cart, in which they found a quantity of lead answering the description of that Mr. Yard had lost. The men were taken to the station, where the lead was identified by Mr. Ward. Search was next made for a man named Fewell, who was likewise apprehended. On compari ng th e shoes of the prisoners with marks in sand upon the floor in Mr. Ward's shop, they wero proved to correspond. They wera then taken before the Rev, J. Pearson, by whom they were committed for trial at the next sessions. The cart and horse being hired, they were delivered to the owner.—ChelevArd Chronicle Mr, John Wood, Chairman of the Excise, had an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer yes terday, at his official residence in Downing -street. BOW-STREET. THE LEICESTER — BANK ROBBERY. - Yesterday, Richard Elliot, who stands charged with being con cerned in stealing the sum of 1,071/. 16i. 10d., during the transfer by railway to London, the property of Messrs. Pares and Co., Leicestershire Joint-stock Banking Company, was brought before Mr. Jardine for final examination. _ Mr. William Bradley, 41, Stafford-street, Birming ham, gun maker, said that in the month of September last he received the letter produced by post, enclosing the sinister halves of t,wo 51. Bank of England notes,, and an order for a double-barrelled gun, two single barrelled guns, and six pair of pistols, amounting to 121. The ..numbers were 49,760 and 92,011, and having completed the order he sent the goods to Mr. Moore, care of Mr. Draper, Globe Tavern, Hatton garden, but he never received the corresponding half notes. . Mr. James Ball, clerk in the service of Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Co., bankers, stated that on the 14th of September he received from Messrs. Pares and Co., of Leicester, the corresponding half notes spoken to by the last witness. Mrs. Jane Jones stated that in September last she was housekeeper in the service of Mr. Draper, at the Globe Tavern, and recollected a person coming to request that a letter addressed to Mr. John Moore might be received there. She afterwards took the letter and a box directed to that person, but as the man wore a fustian coat and a different dress from the prisoner, she' could not positively swear that he was the person. Mr. JARDINE ordered the prisoner to be committed for trial. CIIARGR OF BURGLARY.—A young man named Thomas Coffee, described as a painter and glazier, was placed at the bar, charged with stealing from the Feathers public-house, in Great Wild-street, Lin coln's Inn-fields, the sum of 901. in gold, 81. in silver, a quantity of copper money, silk handkerchiefs, silver spoons, and a silver watch, the property of George Mason, the landlord. The prosecutor's wife stated that the prisoner had been her lodger for a week, having rest led in the house previously to her husband taking the premises. About eight o'clock, on the night of the 26th of De cember, she wanted to go to her bedroom, but found, after repeated attempts, that the staircase door was fastened, which she concluded was done by her hus band, who was not in the house at the time. About twelve o clock her husband opened it, and having gone into the room he found that the box had been broken open, and all the property it contained taken away. The same evening the prisoner borrowed ss. from her husband, and then went away, leaving three suits of clothes behind him. The prisoner had heard a conversation between her and her husband about going to the distillery with the money that had been stolen, and she never saw him again till he was in custody. The prisoner denied haling overheard any such conversation. - Constable Thompson, F division, said he traced the ,prisoner to No. 2, Vine-court, Clerkenwell, where he apprehended him in. a back room. Three keys were found upon him, one of which opened the box from which the property was stolen, together with 53 pawnbrokers' duplicates. He knew the prisoner to he a returned transport. Mr. JARDINE ordered him to 'be remanded for a week. MARLBOTIOUGH-STREET. DARING STREET ROBBERIES.—Sarah Smith was charged with having robbed a barrister named Hethe rington of his purse, containing three sovereigns and some silver. Inspector Plume told Mr. Hardwick, the sitting Magistrate, that the prisoner had been brought into the station-house by a police-constable, and that the complainant had made the following charge against her :—He said as he was passing down Regent street the previous evening, he was accosted by the prisoner, who persisted in walking by his side, although he desired her not •to annoy him by her company. When near Glasshouse-street, two or three men, whom he had evcory reason to believe were in league with the prisoner, came up to him, and crossed him in such a manner that he was obliged to remonstrate, upon which he was suddenly knocked down by one of the party. He was much injured on the knee by the fall, but he succeeded in giving the prisoner into custody, as she was not able to get away so ,expeditiously as her presumed confederates. The complainant made his charge in the usual way, and promised to attend in -the morning at this Court, but he hal failed to make his appearance. A German got into the witness-box, and said the prisoner had robbed him of 191. a few months ago under similar circumstances. Mr. HARDWICK said this was a class of offences that appeared to be very much on the increase. Persons of respectability were accosted by women of loose character, and then, at the first convenient - opportunity, they were set upon and robbed by men JOINT—STOCK BANKS.

He should remand the prisoner until Thursday next, in order to procure the attendance of the party who had been plundered. Thursday, a gentleman, whose name did not trans pire, but whose appearance indicated great respecta bility, applied to Mr. Hardwick for advice, under these singular circumstances : He had got into an omnibus at the west end of the town a short time back, but, as the vehicle was in conveniently crowded, he alighted after proceeding a short distance only. To his surprise, he was suddenly ' seized by a lady, who was also a passenger in the omnibus, and accused of having, in company with another person, robbed a frieni of hers in an omnibus on the previous day. In vain he assured her that she had made a mistake ; she persisted in the charge, and eventually gave him into the custody of a police constable, who took him to the station-house. Here, however, the lady's positiveness deserted her, and she admitted that she had possibly been mistaken, refusing therefore to proceed further in her charge. Ile was released, and naturally feeling annoyed at what had occurred, he had determined to make application at this Court for an assault summons against the lady, who had laid hand on him in older to detain him. Mr. HARDWICK said the occurrence was one, no doubt, of_a very unpleasant character, the case being clearly one of mistaken identity, but he did not think he was warranted in granting a summons for assault, The remedy of the applicant was by action. The applicant said he did not wish to take that course, and retired. MARYLEBONE. MYSTERIOUS ROBBERY OF PLATE.—Yesterday , John Simms, driver of the cab N 0.1,190, was charged with having stolen a considerable quantity of silver plate, the property of Captain T. Cullen, who, a short time ago, arrived at Liverpool, in his vessel, from Calcutta. Robert Mayner, the captain's steward, deposed, that on the previous night, about twelve o'clock, he got into the prisoner's cab, at the Spread Eagle, Gracechurch-street, and was driven to the terminus of the London and Birmingham Railway, Euston square, where he alighted, and soon afterwards missed a bundle, containing a great number of silver spoons, forks, ladles, fish slices, &c., all of which he was about to take down with him to Liverpool by the first train in the morning, in order to deliver it to Capt. Cullen, the owner. Soon after daybreak he met the prisoner, and asked him if ho knew anything respecting the bundle, to which he replied that he did not. He was then given in charge. Henry Pierard stated that he saw the cab draw up to the railway gate, and on prosecutor alighting wit nets asked him if he was looking for a lodging, and witness walked with him to Lamb's Hotel, Drum mond-street, taking with him a box, which had been handed to him from the top of the vehicle to carry. There was a dispute respecting the fare, and prisoner followed the prosecutor to the hotel, leaving the cab door open. He (prisoner) had previously put his head into the cab to see if there was any more lug gage, and said there was not, to which prosecutor made no observation whatever. The prisoner denied the robbery, and said that if any parcel had been left inside the cab, which he did not believe, it must have been taken away by some one during the time he was absent while endeavour ing to get from the prosecutor his proper fare. The prisoner was given to understand that he would not be committed to prison if he could procure good bail for his being forthcoming on Thursday next. FREE TRADE MEETING AT HACKNEY. • A numerously attended and most respectably corn posed district meeting was held last night, in the Assembly Room of the Mermaid Tavern, Hackney, for the purpose of advocating the principles of frt e trade, and aiding the National Anti-Corn-law League in carrying out those principles. There were many ladies present. George Offer, Esq., was unanimously called to the chair, in which he was supported on the one side by the Rev. Dr. Carlisle, and on the other by Dr. Oxley, &c. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the business of the meeting, expressed himself Warmly in favour of the great object for which it was convened, and congra tulated the country on the progress which free trade principles were daily making in the public mind. Ile then passed a high eulogium on the talents and elo quence of Mr. George Thompson, and concluded by introducing that gentleman to the meeting. Mr. G. THOMPSON addressed the meeting at some length, in his, usually effective manner; and at the conclusion of his speech received enthusiastic and long-continued applause. The Rev. Dr. CARLISLE, before moving the first re solution, proceeded to read a letter which he had re ceived from the Rev. and venerable Dr. John Pye Smith, in which the Rev. Doctor, after an expression of regret at his inability to attend, owing to deafness, proceeded to remark—" In particular I ardently wish that all religious and faithful persons would pay serious attention to the abundant demonstration of not merely the impolicy and mischief of the corn-laws and their alliances (and whatever is impolitic and in jurious must he sinful), but that those laws which are framed to enhance the price of provisions, and to dimi nish the means of obtaining them, are wicked and im pious in a very high degree." The Rev. Gentleman then moved the following re solution .—" That in the opinion of this meeting, the Parliamentary franchise is an element of political power which every citizen should seek, by all lawful and proper means, to possess ; that on this ground they have learned with high satisfaction, that the Council of the League has directed its attention to the extension of the franchise, by the enlargement of the county constituency of thiscountry ; a measure which in several of the northern counties has been crowned with signal success. And believing this plan of action to be in harmony with the spirit of British law, this meeting would express their determination to co-operate with the League by endeavouring to extend the constituency of the-important county of Middlesex." Dr. OXLEY seconded the resolution, which was passed unanimously. A vote of thanks was then moved to Mr. George Thompson, " for his able exposition of the principles which should regulate the commerce of this and every other nation," &c. Mr. FRANCIS COOPER seconded the resolution ; which was passed unanimously, and amid loud cheers, the ladies holding up their hands in favour of it. Mr. THOMPSON acknowledged the compliment, and concluded by moving the thanks of the meeting to the Chairman, which was seconded by Mr. DUNK, of Kingsland, and carried unanimously. The meeting was subsequently addressed by Mr. Toms, and by Mr. GREEN, of the Grove, Hackney, in advocacy of an extension of the franchise : future meetings in the district were announced, and the business of the evening terminated in an orderly and satisfactory manner. SCENE IN THE DUNLOP-STREET THEATRE.—Last night, during the r erfora ance of the play of Julius Ciesur, whilst Mr. Alexander, as Caius Cassius, and Mr. Pauwier, in the character of Marcus Brutus, were engaged in one of the most interesting acts of the piece, a scene took place between Mr. Alexander and an unmannerly fellow who had got admitted to the boxes, which, for a time, completely sttApped the play, and afterwards produced an exhibition of histrionic gallantry on the part of Mr. Pau mier which we have rarely seen equalled. It commenced with the gentleman in the boxes, who was apparently half intoxicated, laughing heartily at some part of Mr. Alex ander's performance, when the manager, conceiving him self insulted, made a full paese, and looked straight in the direction from which the annoyance proceeded. Mr. Alexander at, this time, howev, r, went on with his part, but in a few seconds afterwards, being again interrupted by the grins and laughter of the persons in the boxes, he stopped the piece, and addressing the offending culprit, who was the more readily recog nizA, as the house in that quarter was not over crowded, called upon him to pay more respect to good manners and the feelings of the audience, who could not in this way have their night's entertainment spoiled by the disgraceful conduct of a puppy. For himself, he might say he conceived that he w‘is competent to the part he was engaged in, and if the fellow in. the boxes, whom he now pointed out, continued the system of annoyance, he would feel called upon per sonally to turn him out. This address was received with cheers by the audience, and shouts of "Go on," "Never mind him," " He's not laughing at you," &c. ; indeed, it was evident that the people did not seem to feel so much annoyed with the conduct of the person in question as the manager himself. The piece was again proceeded with, but the grinning interruption from the boxes seemed to be continued as before, when Mr. Paumier, as Brutus, who had before stood indifferent to the colloquy of the manager with the gen tleman in the boxes, made a full stop, and declaring that he could not stand this any longer, rushed from the stage, mounted over the railing to the box where the giggling gentleman sat, and, amidst cheering and cla mour, assisted forcibly to turn the offender to the door. After this display of cool Roman courage and ability, the " noblest Roman of them all " returned to tho stage, Ethel amidst the plaudits of the audience, resumed his address.—Glasgow Chronicle. ACCIDENT AT HYDE-PARK-CORNER. Yesterday morning, an accident occurred to one of the troop of the 2d Regiment of Life Guards, statioeed at !Knig.hts bridge Barracks. A. detachment was proceeding from Knightsbridge for the purpose of mounting the Queen's guard, when, on proceeding through the gateway lead ing into the Green Park, two abreast, the horse of one, of the privates was upset, in consequ ence of the plug used for fastening the gate at the bottom having been negligently left open. Owing to his good horsemanship the rider escaped unhurt; nut so the poor animal, one of whose legs was broken. had any lady or gentleman, not so experienced as the Life Guardsman, ridden through the gateway under similar circumstances, the result most undoubtedly would have been serious. The horse was shortly afterwards destroyed by the regimental farrier. Sir Thomas and Lady Turton have left town for the Continent, on their way to India.
