PURE SUPPLY OF WATER TO THE METROPOLIS. THE SOUTH METROPOLITAN PURE WATER COMPANY. On Thursday evening a meeting of the inhabitants of the neighbourhood took place at the Nelson's Arms Inn, Merton, for the purpose of taking into conside ration the plan proposed by the above Company for taking the water of the river Wandle to supply the southern portion of the metropolis. Major Colebrooke took the chair. It may be necessary to explain that os two or three occasions attempts have been made to obtain a supply of water from the river Wandle, which flows from Croydon, through I3eddington, Carshalton, Mitcham, and Merton, running into the Thames at Wandsworth, and which bears a character of being peculiarly salubrious. The first proposition was to take the water from the neighbourhood of Hack bridge, but as there was a number of mills employed in different manufactories working upon the stream, the owners took the alarm, and from their op position the Company were induced to abandon their project. The next scheme was to take the water at Wandsworth, thus offering no inter ruption whatever to the mill power, and to erect a line of sewers from the source of the river to the Thames, and thus carry off its impurities; but this plan was also abandoned, and the present scheme is to take the water, as originally proposed, at Wandsworth, and to erect, in various places along the line of the river, " catch-ponds," or " cesspools," for the pur pose of draining off the filth. This proposition has been met by the most strenuous opposition on the part of the inhabitants, and meetings have been held in various parts of the district, at which resolutions against the scheme have been unanimously agreed to. The present meeting of the inhabitants of Merton, in which parish the Company propose to have three of these " cesspools," was for the purpose of enabling them to express their opinion upon the subject. The CHAIRMAN briefly addressed the meeting, and said that the subject upon which they had assembled was one of the very deepest interest to them all. It appeared to be the intention of the Company to have large cesspools or ponds for the receptacle of filth of all descriptions, and the effect must inevitably be to cause houses to be unoccupied, to raise the rates, and to entail very great evils upon the whole district. Several gentlemen having addressed the meeting, and expressed their opinion that the proposed "catch ponds,' or " cesspools," would be highly injurious to the health of the neighbourhood, and that they would tend to depreciate the value of the property in it, Mr. CAMPBELL, a mill-owner, said that although he was not favourable to the present proposition of the Company, yet he thought the evils of the catch ponds had been very much exaggerated; and he ob served that if they opposed every plan for taking the Wandle waters for the supply of the metropolis, with out due consideration of its merits, they might ulti mately, when the wants of the metropolis became more urgent, which would, no doubt, eventually be the case, have the Government, or some strong com pany, step in and take the water at the source, and tl us stop all the mills and throw hundreds of people out of employment, and inflict almost incalculable mischief upon the whole district ; besides which, in stead of having, as now proposed, isolated cesspools in different places along the banks of the river, its whole course. would be one stagnant ditch and mass of impurity. Ile at the same time wished to be un derstood that he was not at all favourable to the pre sent plan for taking the water; and with regard to the cesspool which the Company proposed to have near their works, he was satisfied that it would not contain half the matter that would flow into it, and it would continually be overflowed. Mr. ASHBY remarked that the effect of this would be that all the houses in the neighbourhood would be filled with the filth from the cesspools. Messrs. Reynolds and Chapman, medical gentlemen of the neighbourhood, expressed their opinion that the establishment of these cesspools was calculated to render the neighbourhood unhealthy, and even to create, at particular periods, a pestilential atmosphere. Resolutions embodying the sense of the meeting against the proposed scheme were carried unani mously, and it was also resolved that they should be published in the whole of the morning papers, and,. after a vote of thanks to the Chairman, the meeting , adjourned. THE LIBRARY or TIE LATE DUKE OF SUSSEX.— on Friday the catalogue of the fourth portion of the ex tensive and valuable library of the late Duke of Sussex was issued by Messrs.

RAGGED SCHOOLS.—On Friday a public meeting of the Ragged School Union for poor children was held at. the Portland-rooms, Foley- street, Marylebone. R. C. L. Bevan, Esq., took the chair, and was supported by several of the district clergy and other gentlemen. From the statements of the respective speakers it appeared that there is a school for the children of the poor (" ragged" children) in West-street, Smithfield, and it was proposed that an extension should take place, Sulocriptions for pat purpose were entered into, S. d 12 3 9 9 16 4 7 11 9 RANELAGII, In consequence of this note I had two interviews with Lord Aberdeen, the result of which will be found in the letters following : LORD RANELAGII TO LORD ♦BERDEEN. May 26, 1844. My Lord,—On the 17th of March last I had the honour of submitting to your Lordship, on the part of Don Carlos, certain propositions with which I had been intrusted by that Prince. Your Lordship admitted the importance of the pro posals, and I had the satisfaction of being assured that they should be referred to Madrid, whence an answer might be expected in ten or twelve days. On the 17th of April following I had received no communication from your Lordship, and I again solicited an interview. I had the honour of attending your appointment accord ingly on the 19th, when you postponed your decision until the arrival of a messenger from Madrid, expected on the Wednesday or Thursday following. On the Ist of May, being still without your Lord ship's commands, I informed you by my note of that date that I was under engagements to leave London for Bourges in two days, and begged a few minutes' inter view before starting. To that note I received no reply. On the evening of the 2d I called at the Foreign-office, where I learned from your message that your Lordship was engaged, but that you might possibly see me on your return from the House of Lords. I replied that, being myself engaged, I could not return on that possi bility ; and, having deferred my departure as long as possible, I started the next evening (the 3d inst.) for Bourges, without any communication whatever from your Lordship. I have ventured to recal these circumstances. I now take the liberty of asking you for a positive answer. I have the honour, &c. RANELAG IL LORD ABERDEEN TO LORD RANELAGM Foreign-office, May 27, 1844. My Lord,—Your Lordship delivered to me in the month of March a letter from Don Carlos. . . . I informed your Lordship at the time, and without hesitation, that I would give no encouragement to these propositions, and that in my opinion, as far as I under stood them, they were entirely impracticable. Never theless, as we had no desire to pronounce any authorita tive judgment upon this question, and as the decision re specting the Queen's marriage belonged to Spain alone, I promised to bring under the consideration of the Spa nish Government the overture of Don Carlos, and to inform you of the result. I wrote accordingly to Mr. dulwer without delay ; and I also communicated what bad taken place to the French Government. The next time I had the pleasure of seeing you, al though I was enabled to state to you that the opinion of the French Government was entirely in conformity with my own, I was not in possession of any intelligence from Madrid upon the subject; indeed, up to this moment I have received no communication from the Spanish Go vernment. I have not thought it necessary to isstruct her Ma jesty's Minister to press for any precise or definite answer from the Spanish Government. In truth, none such could, perhaps, have been expected. The proposi tions of Don Carlos were so vague as not to be very in telligible; and, indeed, I do not now fully comprehend whether his Royal Highness intended to abandon his own pretensions, and those of the Prince his son, to the crown of Spain, or whether this concession was limited to his own person. At all events, the propositions, ex plained verbally by your Lordship, could only be con sidered as informal and unofficial Under these circumstances, your Lordship will per ceive that I am not in a condition to give you the positive answer you require in the letter which I hays had the honour of receiving from you this day. ABERDEEN. LORD RANELAOH TO LORD ABERDEtN. May 28, 1844. My Lord,—l deeply regret that your Lordship did not, by granting the interview which I solicited previ ously to my departure for Bourges, render it unnecessary for me to seek, by my last letter, the answer which I might then clearly have obtained, and to offer the re joinder which it now becomes my duty to make. The object of Don Carlos was to obtain, by the friendly mediation of your Lordship, the adoption of measures calculated to insure the pacification of Spain. Such measures could not, in the opinion of his Royal High ness, be effectual, nor command the assent of all parties, unless they involved a comprom i se b etween t h e ma l e an d female lines in the blood royal. The propositions which I had the honour of submit ting to your Lordship rested upon this principle. But your Lordship remarks that the " propositions of Don Carlos are so vague as not to be very intelligible," and you assign this as a reason why you deem it unneces sary to press for Madrid. ' "any express or definite answer from The suggestions of Don Carlos were, it is true, capable of modifications, a ccor di ng to the circumstances of th e case, but these m o difi cat i ons lay, all of them within limits, which, howe ver ample, were very clear l y d e fi ne d, and the entire plan was based upon a foundation no less simple and intelligible th an t h e marriage of the present Queen of Spain to the Prince of the Asturias. • • If details were left open, it was that the path to a settlement so important should be unembarrassed and free; and Don Ca r l os was willing, on the principles which I have here set forth, and within the limits which I had the honour clearly and fully to describe to your Lordship, to abide by the decision of the English Government. RANELAGH. LORD ABERDEEN To LORD RANELACIL Your Lordship appe ars to b e surprised that I should have described the prop os i t i ons o f D on C a rlos as being Foreign-office, June 3, 1844 . " vague and not very intelligible;" butl cantruly say that I thought I bad formerly made this opinion sufficiently obvious to your Lordship, and had expressed it accord ingly. Indeed, I feel this to be so much the case, that I am, even now, entirely at a loss to understand them with any degree of precision. I am aware that the propositions involve some personal concessions on the part of Don Carlos and the marriage of his son with the Queen of Spain. But what may be the extent of the concessions which he is disposed to make, and whether the renunciation of his pretensions to the Crown of Spain be absolute, or only conditional upon the marriage of his son, I have no knowledge whatever ; neither do I know on what footing the mar riage itself was proposed, and in what character the young Prince was to be regarded. If the pretensions of Don Carlos were merely to be transferred to his son, so far from such a marriage tending to the " pacification of Spain," in my opinion it would be much more likely to bring civil war into the palace, as well as to spread it throughout the country. The propositions, as verbally explained by your Lord ship, and so far as I understand them, were not mate rially different from those which at various times hare been made to her Majesty's Government from other quarters, although not with the same direct authority of Don Carlos himself. To all these suggestions, but without interfering in any degree with th e f r ee d ec i s i on c of the S aa pa d n en is i h ded G ly ov a e d r y n e m rs e e nt ; sealways expressed Ibeha because, it appears to me that, instead of leading to the union of different parties in the State, they would practically recognise and esta blish the existence of hostile principles in Spain, and o th p e in S io p a a s nish Gov ernment the I feel it to b e m y d would bring into direct collision the two systems of de spotic and constitutional government in that country. Notwithstand ing duty to m overture of Don Carlos , so far as I could collect it s im port from your Lordship's statements, but without o ff er - ak e known offer ing any advice or recommendation, and leaving that Go vernment to deal with it as they might think proper. ABERDEEN. LORD RANELAOII TO LORD ADERDREN. Nov. 22, 1844. My Lord,—On the 17th of March last, and again on the 20th of April following, I had the honour of refer ringmyself ; an d I exp l a i ned that those your Lordship to special instructio ns w hi c h L or d Palmerston had conveyed to some of her M a j es ty' s Mi nisters Courts where they resided. Inasm uc h as I h ave instructionsabroad, respecting specti prohibited n my pr esentat i on at t h e re spectivesince had the honour of being presented, by the command of the Sovereigns, at some of the most important of those Courts, I do not know that any practical inconvenience can occur to me from Lord Pilmerston's inhibition ; but, as I observed to your Lordship, I - Was, and am, most de sirous that orders, in themselves so unjust, and (should their cause be forgotten) so liable to misconstruction. should be countermanded. I trust, therefore, I am not now premature in hoping that I no longer remain under an apparent stigma, cast upon me only on account of my firm attachment to prin ciples so long and so ably maintained by your Lordship , and the leading Members of her Majesty's present Ad ministration. ItANELAGII. LORD ADERDEEN TO LORD RANELAGH. Foreign - office, Dec. 4, 1844. • My Lord,—l have had the honour of receiving your Lordship's letter, in which you advert to the fact of special instructions having been addressed to several of her Majesty's Ministers abroad, prohibiting them from presenting your Lordship at the Courts to which they were accredited ; and you express a desire to be relieved from the apparent stigma cast upon you, as you declare, only on account of your attachment to principles which had long been maintained by myself and by the leading Members of her Majesty's present Administration. On referring to the records of this office I find that the instructions in question were not called for by any principles or opin;ons entertained by your Lordship, but were issued because, after having joined the army of Don Carlos, you " had actually taken part in operations in the course of which the Carlists were engaged with a portion of the British co-operating force, in the neigh bourhood of Bilboa." For this cause, also, your Lordship was forbidden to appear at the Court of his late Majesty. I know not what are the principles to which your Lordship alludes, as haring been maintained by me and by other members of her Majesty's Administration ; but if they have any relation to the supposed right of Don Carlos to the Crown of Spain, I think it proper to in form you that I have never, on any occasion, expressed an opinion favourable to the claims of his Royal High ness. I had the honour of stating this recently to him self, in consequence of his Royal Highness having been greatly misinformed on the subject. ABERDEEN, LORD RANELAGII TO LORD ABERDEEN. Dec. 7, 1844. My Lord,—l have had the honour to receive your Lordship's letter of the 4th inst., and I observe, with more regret than surprise, that it contains no answer to the very simple inquiry to which it purports to be a reply, In the year 1837, when I first heard of Lord Palmer ston's instructions, I received a letter, from which the following is an extract. It was written by one, and sanc tioned by two others, of your Lordship's colleagues : " What you have done is calculated to make you stand well with the country generally. The petty spite of Palmeston you may well afford to despise. These people cannot always be in power, and you have gained a re putation that you have no reason to regret, however it may vex Lord Palmerston. I think that being quoted as you were by the Duke of Wellington, in the House of Lords, is full of compensation for what Lord Palmerston may say or do against you. Upon the whole, therefore, I would advise you to remain quiet for the present, and not suffer yourself to be annoyed by things which the petty malice of temporary authority may attempt against you." With these words before me, I did not think I could be extravagant in expecting justice from your Lordship. For this injustice Lord Palmerston might plead, first, the insensible bias of party, and next, perhaps, an erroneous report, which, had he been in office, he would probably not have refused to correct. But what grounds has your Lordship even to palliate, much less to justify, this proceeding? I can imagine none, unless, indeed, I am to understand by your concluding paragraph that I have had the misfortune to offend your Lordship by the mention of public principle. My Lord, of the rights of Don Carlos to the throne of Spain it is neither for your Lordship nor myself to de termine. It is a question for the Spanish nation. I have a right to remind your Lordship that by main taining other and opposite doctrines, by advancing to places of trust and authority, as your Lordship has done, and is continuing to do, men whose chief distinction is their advocacy of Radical opinions, you bring a reproach infinitely more humiliating than honest failure upon your cause, and upon those who have the misfortune to trust in, or be associated with, your Lordship in office. RANELAGH. LORD ♦BERDEEN TO LORD RANELAGS. Foreign-office, Dec. 10, 1844. My Lord,—Having explained the true cause, as as signed, of the prohibition referred to, I thought it right entirely to disavow participation in principles which your Lordship seemed disposed to impute to me, so far, at least, as th e y re l ate d to t h e c l a i ms of Don arlos to the throne of Spain. Ide not presume to question the perfect liberty of your Lordship to form your own opi nions upon this or any other subject ; at all events, I have been equally consistent with your Lordship, for I have never ceased, during the last ten years, to regard Don Carlos as an usurper, against whose anarchical and rebellious attempts my best wishes have been invariably expressed for the cause of " legal order and constitu tional right." But I readily adopt the 'criterion referred to by your Lordship, and leave the pretensions of Don Carlos to be dealt with by the Spanish people, who, indeed, I ima gine had long since pronounced their decision. I have no wish to discuss the correctness of your Lordship's convictions, or of my own—it is sufficient for me to esta blish the fact of this total divergency; and this difference is not less with respect to the sentiments of my three un known col'eagues, which your Lordship has quoted in your letter. _ _ I know nothing of the letters of Lord John Hay and Mr. Charles Wood ; nor is it at all necessary that I should do so. The word of an English gentleman, under such circumstances, is quite sufficient for me ; and, if I have interpreted your letter correctly, I shall, without hesitation, and with pleasure, submit to her Majesty the propriety of cancelling Lord Palmerston's dispatch of January 31, 1837. ABERDEEN. LOAD RANELAGH TO LORD ♦BHRDBEI. Dec. 12, 1844. My Lord,—l have had the honour to receive your Lordship's letter of yesterday, and I sincerely regret that I was not, by an earlier intimation of your purpose, spared the pain of my last communication. I will here own that the neglect with which your Lordship was pleased to meet even my request for as in terview previous to my departure for Bourges (when, in addition to this, a question was to be discussed of in finitely higher importance), tended very considerably to increase the regret which I felt on receiving your letter of the 4th instant. Upon this point, therefore, I have only to add that your Lordship has correctly interpreted my meaning. I never, directly or indirectly, come into hostile collision with the troops of my Sovereign, and with this declara tion I leave the case in your Lordship's hands. RANELAGH. LORD ♦BERDEEN TO LORD RANELAGN. Foreign-office, Dec. 19, 1844. My Lord,—Lfaving received from your Lordship the declaration that you never, either directly or indirectly, were engaged in hostile collision with the British force in the nur;h of Spain, I have submitted to the Queen the propriety of recalling the instructions which had been addressed to her Majesty's Ministers abroad in the year 1837, prohibiting them from presenting your Lordship at the different Courts to which they were accredited; and I have the honour to inform you that her Majesty has been graciously pleased to accede to this request. ABERDEEN. LORD RANELAGR TO LORD ABERDEEN. Dec. 20, 1844. My Lord,—On reviewing the subjects upon which I have recently had the honour of being in correspond ence with your Lordship, I consider that they are of such deep and general interest, and the opinions which you have been pleased to express are so important, that I cannot help feeling that they ought to be communi• sated to the public. Your Lordship is reported to have expressed your self as entertaining no personal objection to the produc tion of the letters in return to an order of the House of Lords ; but from what you held to be the non-official character of the correspondence, you aro said to have advised the House to abstain from establishing an incon venient Parliamentary precedent. I might consider this as a sufficient assurance that your Lordship would not now object to the publication of the entire series ; but I think it just, before taking such a step, to ascertain whether you have any personal wish upon that point. RANELAGH. LORD ABERDEEN TO LORD RANELAGH. Foreign-office, Dec. 21, 1644. I should naturally feel much disposed to object to the publication of letters, which, by me at least, had never been written with any such view or expectation ; but as my request might be liable t. misconstruction, and as I conjecture that the suppression of the correspondence would be more painful to your Lordship than its publi • cation would be disagreeable to me, I leave you to do as you think proper. Should your Lordship finally decide on giving this correspondence to the public, I have only to express a hope that no part of it may be suppressed. ABERDEEN. CHILD STICALING.—OH Friday last a man was brought before the magistrates of Wakefield on a charge of stealing, a day or two before, a little boy, four years old, at Thornes. The child is the son of a working man nailed Cannon, residing at Thornes. The prisoner was seen to take the boy in his arms, and walk with him on the canal side leading to Horbury, and was pursued and overtaken, when he bad got about a mile from Thornes. It is thought be intended to disable the boy in order to send him begging. The fellow was sent as a rogue and vagabond to the House of Correction for two months.— Wakefield Journal MTOIPERIOUS CASE OP POISONING IN THE STREET. -:-At an early hour on Friday morning, as a police sergeant and constable were on duty near the Alfred's Head Tavern, in the London-road, their attention was directed to a respectably dressed young female, who was lying on the step of a door. She appeared at first to be asleep, but on their endeavouring to arouse her, they discovered that she was unable to move, a nd quite in sensible. With difficulty they conveyed her to the sur gery of Mr. Chaldecott, who, from her symptoms, judged she had swallowed poison. She was conveyed to Guy's Hospital. The stomach pump was speedily put in re inisition, and by its means a considerable quantity of arsenic was ejected. Upon being restored to conscious ness, she was questioned as to her motive for taking the arsenic and where she had procured it , b u t this she per tinaceoubly refused to state. She, however, after g rea t persuasion, said her name was Margaret Bennett, that she was twenty-years of age, and lived at Newington. _ - A numerously attended and most respectably com posed district meeting was held on Friday, in the Assembly Room of the Mermaid Tavern, Hackney, for the purpose of a d voca ti ng t h e principles of free 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 pro g r ess 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. CsausLis, before moping 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 ron-iii—" In particular I ardently wish that all religiow. 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 be 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. FEamcis COOPER seconded the resolution ; which was passed unanimously, and amid loud cheers, the ladies holding up their hands in favour of it. Mr. Tnoairsori acknowledged the compliment, and concluded by moving the thanks of the meeting to the Chairman, which was seconded by Mr. Dunn, 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. The Earl of Glengall has recovered from his recent indisposition. The Noble Earl is still at Dublin, where the Countess and the youthfnl Ladies Butler are also so journing. SCENE IN THE DUNLOP-STREET THEATER.—Last night, during the rerformance of the play of Julius Cersar, whilst Mr. Alexander, as Caius Cassius, and Mr. Paumier, 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 stopped 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 pause, and looked straight in the direction from which the annoyance proceeded. Mr. Alexander at this time, however, 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 nised, 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 wss 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 mach 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 the stage, and amidst the plaudits of the audience, resumed his address.—Glasgow Chronicle. ACCIDENT AT HTDE-PARE•CORNER.OI2 Friday morning, an accident occurred to one of the troop of the 2d Regiment of Life Guards, stationed at Knights 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 consequence 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; not 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, th e r es ult most undoubtedly would have been serious. The horse was shortly afterwards destroyed by the regimental farrier. FIRE AT THAME.—On Wednesday night, between eight and nine o'clock, the stable and chaise-house of Mr. Reynolds, surgeon, at Theme, Oxfordshire, was found to be in flames. The fire spread with such ra pidity, diet, with the exception of the dogs, and a trifling article or two, the building and its contents were de. stroyed. Two valuable horses perished. A carriage, a single-horse chaise, a quantity of straw and hay, and several sets of harness were destroyed. The building was thatched, and chiefly built of timber. The origin of the fire is not known. FIRE.—On Saturday an alarming fire broke out, about half past four o clock, on the premises of Mr. Webb, a broker and auctioneer, residing in Peter-street, Whitechapel. As a man named Wilmot, who resided in the same street, was passing at the time named, he per ceived smoke issuing from the grating over the kitchen window, and upon looking down through it he saw a large body of flame when he at once raised an alarm, and the inmates were with much difficulty made sensible of their perilous pssition. Fortunately the flames had not gained such an ascendancy as to have reached the first floor at the time, so that they were all enabled to make their escape through the hall ; in less than five minutes after all the lower part t f the building was one body of flame. By this time several engines from the adjacent stations were in attendance, with their usual proreptitude and alacrit3, and succeeded in confining the fire to the lower part of the premises, the greater portion of which, as well as a large quantity o f furni. ture which was stored there, was totally destr o y ed. In less than half an hour after the arrival of the engines, the firemen had so far succeeded in subduing the flames, as to banish any further apprehension with respect to the remainder of the house, or the adjacent premises, which at one time were in imminent danger. Unfortunately, Mr. Webb was not insured. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday after noon, about three o'clock, a very distressing and fatal accident took place in North Hanover -street.

Cdedon ian Mercury. ) A -RELIEVING OFFICER CON• VICTED of PURLOINING MONEY. The Dorchester Chronicle of Friday gives the following report of a case at Sturminster Newton Petty Sessions, on the 13th instant :—An information was laid against George Tuck, a relieving officer or the Sherborne Poor-law Union, for purloining certain sums of money granted the complainant, Ann Jeanes, for the maintenance and support of her male bastard child, chargeable to the parish of Holvrell, within the said Sherborne Union. It appeared from the evidence of Ann Jeanes, the complainant, that, before her marriage, she had a male illegitimate child, born in the parish of Holwell, in the county of Somerset, and chargeable to that parish; an order for the support of which child was made by the Wincanton justices, dated 30th of April, 1832. From that time up to a year and five months ago, she received one shilling per week from Mr. George Tuck, relieving officer, the defendant ; but in June, 1843, her father told her that the defendant had declared to him that she was to receive no more money for his child, as he had earned two shillings a week, and, in consequence, she did not apply for any more relief. Since June, 1843, she had received no relief or money for the support of the said child, from the defendant or any one else. The evidence of the complainant was corroborated by her father, who deposed, on oath, that about last June twelve months, the defendant told him the shilling per week for the boy was taken off; but the defendant had regularly called on him weekly and paid him his pay (the witness being a pauper), and his pay only. It was then proved, from the evi dence of the officer of the Union, and the books, that entries of money, as paid to this illegitimate child, had been made after June, 1843, and credit for these sums given to George Tuck, the defendant, by the Sherborne board of guardians. It was elicited, in cross-examination, by Mr. Vining, attorney for the defendant, that an investigation into this case was made by the Sherborne board, on the 12th of October last, but which was not made matter of record; and that after an adjournment, and another hearing, not in'the presence of the complainant, on the 26th of October, it was decided that no minute should be made of the investigation, the members of the board present having expressed an opinion, that there was no wilful misappropriation of these moneys, the de fendant having admitted his error, and offered to ac count for the same. He admitted his error, as soon as his attention was dra wn t o it, and sa id h e did not discover the error until he was copying the names for the quarter ending Michaelmas last ; he was 111, having had a seizure about Midsummer last. The Rev. H. F. Yeatman (as chairman) gave the judgment of the Bench. After recapitulating and commenting on the evidence most minutely, he ob served that the justices, upon a careful consideration of the evidence, as a whole, were unanimously of .opinion that the charge was proved against George Tuck, the relieving officer of the Sherborne Union, and adjudged that he had purloined and wilfully mis applied certain moneys—to wit, the sum of 11. 19cl belonging to the parish of Holwell, in the Sherborne Union, contrary to the provisions of the 4th and sth William IV., cap. 76, and convicted him in the penalty of 61.; and further adjudged that he should pay the sum of 51. 175., being three times the amount of moneys purloined, together with the costs incurred in the prosecution of the case. ESCAPB or *w EtaslnunT.—On Friday evening, as Mr. Hylton, owner of the caravans of wild beasts on the Castle-meadows, at Bury St. Edmunds, was showing the elephant to the company, the beast showed signs of insubordination. He was directed to kneel and confess his submission to his keeper, but did not choose to obey, upon which the keeper applied a rather severe punish ment. At this moment Mrs. Hylton came in, and fear ing mischief, called out, " Let him go home, William." The mighty beast just then aimed a tremendous blow at the side of the booth, which at once gave way, his keeper in a moment was put hors de combat, and the giant of the forest walked off in spite of all opposition, going through the streets out at St. Stephen's-gate, on the London-road, as if literally taking the hint of Mrs. Hylton. A quantity of bread was imenedifitely put into a cart, and sever a l o f th e p e opl e f o llowed hits, but his pace was so rapid that they could not keep up wail him; and after about two miles run to Harford Bridges he sought pleasure or food among the umbrageous woods and scanty foliage of Mr. Alderman Thurtell, as if en joying his pristine liberty in his native wilds ; nor was he to be caught by those who followed him. Mr. Hylton, in spite of the serious injury he had sustained, had to go after him, and when he did so the mighty beast again submitted to his commands with the most child-like do cility, and walked back with him to his den, about one o'clock in the morning.—Bury Post. ROMANTIC STOET.—A circumstance which has afforded ample material for the gossips of South wark has occurred within the last few days. A gentleman resident in the Southwark-bridge-road has been for a considerable time in the habit of attend ing a coffee-house in Cannon-street, City ; and, whether or not particular attentions were paid to the damsel in waiting, the result was that she fell despe rately in 'love with her customer. Affection ripened into positive madness, and the poor girl, intent on never losing sight of the object of her passion, followed him from day to day, and e'• i durin( the night never allowed vigilance to cease. Several times, on bis way homeward, the gentleman alluded to has en countered the fair damsel on Southwark-bridge, and threats have been held out, that unless some prosf was given that her love was reciprocated she would terminate her existence by leaping from the parapet. On one. occasion she attempted to carry her threat into execu tion, but was prevented by the gentleman. It appears that at a later hour of the night she tendered her money to the toll-keeper, with a view of passing through, but her request was refused, an intimation of her intention to commit self-destruction having been previously given. On Thursday some circumstances transpired that made it apparent that if precautionary measures were not taken the worst might be expected, and the girl was given into the custody of the police. Shortly afterwards she appeared before Mr. Alderman Challis, at Guildhall, and was sent to Giltspur-street Compter, where she will remain until her fit of lova shall have subsided, or until some security shall be af forded that s similar course of conduct shall not be re peated. CATCHING A TARTAR.—Jeinville! poor Joinville The last 'atch of dispatches to Mackay show him in a position at once painful and ludicrous. He had got possession of the island of Mogadore. He can't keep it, and is afraid to give it up and bolt without leave. So we have watched a hungry man with a potatoe— too hot to hold, too precious to drop—flinging it from hand to hand, with a face oddly divided between pain and wistfulness. Very modestly says the Prince, "At Mogadore events have taken place which appear to have modified our position ;" the English of which turns out to be, that " the occupation of the island in winter is impossible." "Please, Sir, may I give it up P' "Certainly," says the Minister, especially as you can't keep it." " In that case," replies the Prince, " we'll give it up at once; and if we want It afterwards we can retake it in the spring, and give the Moors the trouble and expense of keeping it in the mean time." This is the most ori ginal method of conquest we have yet heard of. It may be compared to the old plan of pawning your cloak before going to the theatre, and taking it out after the per formance, paying the legal interest of a halfpenny in stead of a sixpence to the boxkeeper. Well, de Joinville determines ou ceding the island. Ben Abou, Kaid of Tangiers, comes on board the Suffren, and the Prince has the impudence (we beg his pardon for the word) to tell him, that " a great nation like France can afford to be generous after victory I" And while the garrison are evacuating Mogadore, with more hurry than dignity, in a style that looks marvellous!) , like running away, the Prince gravely assures the Mi nister of Marine, " that which remains from our dis agreement is a salutary fear of our name, and of the force of French arms !" We remember a caricature (a French one, too) of a fight, in which the man who is' down, his adversary's boot on his neck, says, half-choked, "Eh bite, je to pardoner, et que relaiineisse 1 Gavarni must _a nil; n o c f h the .

DARING ROBBERY AT A TEA-DEALER'S.---A few evenings ago some thieves managed to steal a chest of tea from the shop of Mr. Parr, tea-dealer, in the Black friars-road. What makes the robbery rather surprising is, that the chest of tea was at the back part of the shop near the counter, and the thief must have crept on his hands and knees into the shop and pushed it out while the shopman was engaged on the other side of the counter.
