Many persons, no doubt, are surprised we've not written Concerning our Monarch on board the Great Britain ; And, perhaps, they have thought that we meant to let slip, The honour thu, paid to the giant-like ship. But no, we an humble endeavour have made, To suggest a few hints in the way of our trade. When the Queen walk'd the deck of the wonderful barque, And waited its mighty proportions to mark, She was just as much struck with the progress of art, As if she Mel visited MOSES'S Mart. The Great Britain ship, as It lay in the water, Was an object of wonder to Brunswick's fair daughter, And the gaze of the Queen would be equally won, By the mighty Columbus of MOSES and SON. The Great Britain ship, and the Great British Mart, May justly be teraid the Twin Wonders of Art. And while the Great Britain is King of the Sea, MOSES' Warehouse shall boast of an equal degree. Yes—its commerce shall happily rise and expand, While thousands proclaim it The King of the Land. A new work, entitled " THE LEVIATHAN OF TRADE." with full directions for Self-Measurement, may be had on application, or forwarded post-free. LIST OF PRICES. MEAD!' MADE. X g. d.

It was once a proverb of approved truth that " ex amples teach where precepts fail." This proverb has outlived its reputation among us. Every day furnishes fresh and signal evidences of the fruitless influence of examples—in all their elements of the most impressive E SUN, LONDON, MONDAY MORNING, MAY 5, 1845. character—to read any lesson of wisdom to the preju- I dices of bigotry. But the case briefly put by Mr. RUTHERFORD, on Thursday night, in his wise, tempe rate, and philosophical speech, on moving for leave to bring in a " Bill to regulate the admission to lay cr secular chairs in the Universities of Scotland," deve l.pes this perverse insensibility to experience in a way that one should fain hope must prove irresistible from its truthfulness. It is really wonderful to note the timidity of modern statesmen about putting themselves at the head of, and thereby guiding arid controlling, great movements of public opinion, instead of vainly attempting to erect dams against them, constructed with the crumbling masonry of obsolete prejudices; or apa thetically looking on, inactive spectators of the for midable current which sets right in upon their imaginary seat of refuge, and, if not diverted by timely and active I exertions to divert its course into some new channel, must sweep them in its headlong impulse to destruction. The very Ministers who in their own persons have to often encountered this peril, end have seen their less for tunate predecessors in office actually overwhelmtd through their want of alacrity in meeting it, seem already to have forgotten both the magnitude of the hazard and the miracle of their former escapes from it. They deferred the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts till the just indignation of the Di ,- senting body of all denominations throughout the United Kingdom con vulsed the Established Church to its very foundations; and they postponed the relief of the Roman Catholic disa• bilities until that delay of justice had almost produced a severance of the empire. In the same manner they seem inclined to treat the general feeling of Scotland upon that system of subscription tests which it has been actually attempted to enforce against one of the pro foundest professors of natural philosophy whom our age has produced, [to the extent of expelling him from the chair he fills in that capacity. To the de- mands of such a feeling, so reasonable, so just, in itself, there can be little doubt but that ultimately the present Government, strong though it be, must suc cumb. The mischief is that they will probably refuse to comply with it, until compliance will have lost not only the grace, but the pretence of favour; and the most serious mischiefs of disunion and decay shall have, in consequence, overtaken those time-honoured and admi rable institutions, the universities of Scotland. Mr. RSTTHERFCRD showed that, by the Acts of 1619 and 1707, it was declared that no parties should be capable of filling any office in the universities of Scot land, without having first taken the oath of allegiance, subscribed the "Declaration or Confession of Faith," and signed a formula submitting themselves to the dis cipline of the Presbytery. The Right Hon. and Learned Gentleman had good reason to say that these Acts had never been enforced in all the universities, nor, in their universal bearing, at any one of them. Let us pause, for a moment, to reflect how irreparable a loss the world of science and discovery would have sustained had the revelations and researches of such minds as HurroN's and PLAYFAIR'S depended on their implicit acceptance of formalised dogmas as old as the " Solemn League and Covenant." As inconsistency in practice is always the concomitant of an attempt to establish the uniformity of arbitrary rules, the requirements of these Acts ha‘e followed that law of moral compensation. In some of the Universities of Scotland they are enforced only as to the Professors ; in others only to the office-bearers. Could there be devised a more logical proof of their combined impropriety and inefficiency, than this fact? In what respect can the air of Edinburgh modify the necessity which exists in the Marischal College at Aber deen for an office-bearer to sign the formula and sub scribe that declaration? If it be necessary for a Pro fessor at Glasgow to submit himself to the discipline of the Presbytery, and attest, by his subscription, a Decla ration of Faith, how comes that obligation to cease when you are within reach of the breeze that blows off the Frith of Forth? Or, take the converse of these liabili ties ;—place Edinburgh in the room of Aberdeen, or Glasgow in that of Edinburgh—is the discrepancy one whit the less ridiculous? But here is the fatal fact: the absurdity is not only recognised, but consecrated by the usage; and not only is the usage consecrated, but it is exacted under penalties no less severe than the lia bility to forfeiture and expulsion, in case of refusal to comply with such exaction. We learn from Mr. RUTHERFORD that in the University of Edinburgh, which has certainly produced the most distinguished men, this notable law has long been in abeyance, and never enforced at all against any lay professor. His object, therefore, was to do away, by his Bill, with the necessity, for the future, of any lay professor's signing either the Confession of Faith, or the formula of sub mission to the Presbytery, not touching merely the theological chairs, but applying this provision and pro tection to those only devoted to literature and science. Whilst he felt it might be very necessary that those youths who were being brought up to the Established Church should be instructed in divinity, according to the doctrine and rule of that Church, by teachers who were bound by that rule and doctrine, he did not see the ne cessity for a similar restriction as to those other teachers who had nothing to do with divinity. Assuredly not. But how grave a case did the Hon. Member suggest for his Bill, in alluding to the great number of his country men who had lately seceded from the Established Church of Scotland, and now held her in dislike. It is honour able to the Scottish professors that a large majority of them at all the Universities had expressed their con current wish that the requirements in question should be done away with. But the enormous increase of seces sion—the growth of the Free Church in Scotland esta blishes an invincible, overruling necessity, on all ground , of expediency and policy, for this Bill. If it be not, as Mr. RUTHERFORD argued, carried, the Universities must break up as fearfully as the Church is breaking. Ex clusive tests will work over again their old results in the destruction of the tyranny and folly which exact them; the tyranny and the folly which, a year ago, were not ashamed to do their utmost to oust Sir DAVID BREWSTER from St. Andrews, "as if (as it was well said) he had not distinguished the college ten times as much as the college could have distinguished him." We close with the most pithy anecdote we have met with for some time, for the digestion of your unyielding, uncompromising, unreasoning advocates of the exclusive beauty and bene ficence of Church Establishments, and who denounce as timidity and folly all concessions to—all conciliation of Dissent. The Episcopalian sections of the Scottish people comprise, professedly, the wealthiest landowners and proprietors in Scotland. Some years ago they were eager to istablish an Episcopalian College, but up to this time hive not been able, with all their exertions, to collect -.nom than 18,0001. in all that time for such a pur pose. What have those done who have separated from the Estifblished Church ? They were anxious to found a College for their body. They asked, were there not enough among them who could subscribe 1,000/. each ? In less than three weeks 22,000/ were subscribed by twenty-two individuals, who were principals in this sepa ration. We add no comment on the fact. Does it need any ? Yes ; just this, that Sir ROBERT PEEL and Sir GEORGE CLERK, in the course of a debate last year, told the House there was a re-action in favour of the Estab lished Church in Scotland. Strange illustration this magnificent subscription, of the decline of dissent and se paration. We have received numerous letters on the Maynooth Grant, chiefly from the provinces, which are of a very gratifying character, as . they show a spirit of Christian charity, and a wish to sink that bitter re ligious animosity which has caused such dire calamities in Europe. In Ireland particularly, this humane spirit pervades the great body of Protestants. The Presbyterians of the North have taken no part in the agitation against the Catholic reli gion; the Established Church of that country has exhi bited the same forbearing disposition; and, indeed, from all classes professing the Reformed faith in Ireland, we hear of no opposition, but very generally a cordial acquiescence in this measure of justice and mercy. The principal landowners of the county of Galway, without distinction of creed or party, have put forth a declaration, in which they ex press much satisfaction at the proposal of her MAJsarrir's Government. Their words are remarkable:—" We feel that measures thus tending to improve the social posi tiun of the Roman Catholic priesthood will accelerate the growth of that mutual forbearance, and of that charity in politics, which hare been of late springing up amongst all parties in Ireland." We have given also, in another part of the paper, an excellent letter from an Irish Protestant clergyman to the same effect. New these numerous testimonies in favour of this much calumniated scheme ought to be allowed great weight in deciding the question. Ignorance and want of intercourse among different nations, it is allowed on all hands, are the fruitful sources of wars and national antipathies. How much has the long-continued peace in Europe been promoted by the knowledge which foreigners have acquired here of our customs and manners, and by the reciprocal knowledge which obstinate and conceited Englishmen, vain of their country, have received from their visits to the continent, and especially to a nation which ignorant malevolence has pronounced to be our natural enemy? There are no natural enemies, except those which the wickedness:of mankind, and, above all, their blind jealousy and unmeaning antipathies create for one another. If the Protestants and Catholics of Ireland believe that they can live at peace in the same community—if they wish to associate together, to bear with mutual faults and mutual errors in faith—if they marry and are given in marriage, and wit at each others houses, displaying the blessings of Christian charity, obeying the second of the two great commands inculcated by:ourSAYlptre. "To love thy neighbour as thyself," what atrocious wickedness it is to rake up the embers of religious discoro and throw a firebrand among men who live together in unity ! But the good sense of Englishmen,theirlove of justice, and their compassion also for the wrongs and the sufferings of' a people so long united with tin m, will not suffer this iniquity to prevaiL The 'still small vcice of wisdom begins already to be heard, and the firm determination of the Legislature — the admirable speeches made by every statesman in the Commons' House of Parliament, and the wise re solution of the clergy of the Established Church to give the experiment a fair trial—leave no doubt now as to the ultimate success of the measure. The great re gret is that the opposition has diminished to a great extent the benefits which it was calcu lated to produce, and has excited a feeling of bitter anger on the part of the Catholics against a nu merous class of Protestants hitherto regarded as their friends. But that in time will disappear and the peace makers will yet reap the fruits of their labours. We cordially concur in the following sentiments expressed by the reverend divine whose letter appears in another part of this journal : " I humbly conceive that brother Protestants' are bound to co-operate in furthering the great attempt that 'righte ousness and peace may kiss each other,' and realising the in. junction to promote ' p eace on earth, g ood-will towards men,' enlarge the circle, too long contracted, of Christian charity, and diffuse that more liberal education which o'erleaps the narrow mind, softens asperities, and prostrates persecution." Madrid journals of the 25th u l t. have been race:red, but they bring no news. Madrid Bourse on the 21th.—Three per Cents. for Account, 35 11-16 ; Five per Cents. for Account, 25i. The French Chamber of Deputies have voted withou opposition the sum of 44,000 f. as a compensation to English merchants for losses caused them by the French blockade of the Gambia. When that affair had beer. disposed of, the grant of 440,000 f. for Oceania—the French settlements in the Pacific—was next proposed, and gave rise to some warm discussion. M. DE MALLE VILLE demanded some explanations on a statement in the journals, to the effect that Admiral HamEmii had not been able to communicate with Queen PoxAaE, who, under the protection of an English frigate, had retired to a small island, where she refused to receive the French officets. It was also said that the Government intended recalling Captain D'Auniartv, who was to obtain leave of absence for the benefit of his health. Admire* MAcKau, the Minister of Marine, said, "Admiral HAMELIN arrived at Otaheite on the 22d of Dee., 1844. He had sent home a dispatch, dated Jan. 2, 1845. It stated that he had found the island perfectly tranquil, and that since June 30, the period of the last combat. no trouble or disturbance had taken place. It added that the natives occupied camps at some distance from each other, but that the communications were re-esta blished with Papeiti, and that everything tended to lead to the supposition that the restoration of friendly rela tions were on the point of taking place. It had been agreed that Admiral HAMELIN should endeavour to open a communication with Queen PoMARE to induce her to return to the French establishments. She was at that period in a little island,and two officers were dispatched to her to deliver the letter to herself alone, a letter which he had written to her for that purpose. These officers did not succeed in seeing her, and they had returned with the letter. The Chamber would perceive that, ac cording to the instructions addressed to M. BRUAT, which he had just had the honour to lay before the House, in case the' intercourse should not be renewed, the course to be pursued was to call the chiefs together and choose three amongst them to administer the affairs of the country." M. ODILLON BAItROT said it appeared now that it was the French who were reduced to supplication. It was the officers of France who were compelled to run after the QUEEN to beset ch her to resume her sovereignty. Such conduct was a dis grace to France. M. DE MALLEVILLE said that as the subject would again be alluded to on the discussion on the budget, he should now confine himself to the expres sion of his regret that the Government had not been better prepared to contradict the sad accounts which had come to their knowledge, and amidst considerable ex citement in the Chamber the matter dropped. The Bill for converting the Four per Cent. Stock has been laid before a Committee of the Peers, and meets with decided opposition from a large majority of Members.

FREE-TRADE BAZAAR. Within the last five weeks Covent-garden Theatre has undergone a complete metamorphosis, for the purpose of preparing it for the proposed Free-trade Bazaar, to be held there on the 12th instant. On Saturday evening we were admitted to a private view of the theatre, which was lighted up for the occasion, and presented a very splendid appearance. The entire audience part of the house, the stage, and the scene• room beyond, have been converted into a vast Gothic hall, two hundred feet in length. Standing at the entrance in the centre of the dress boxes, the eye is struck by the magnificent effect of the old wooden roof, very similar to that of 'Westminster Hall, or King John's Palace, at Eltham. The grand hall is terminated by a screen, and a lofty ar c h w ay, in the Tudor styl" , through which is seen a richly stained glass window, that lights a smaller hall b e y o nd. The general form of the hall is not unlike that of a cathedral. Gothic arches, supported by clustering pillars, run round the hall, and give it a very light and picturesque effect. The stage portion of the theatre forms what may be termed the transepts of the edifice, in which are several alcoves, corresponding in style with the other parts of the building, and each lighted by a stained glass window. Two tables extend the entire length of the hall, for the display of the various articles to he exhibited in the bazaar. A. number of transparent lamps give a cheerful appearance to the same. But the most ingenious and novel feature in this fairy palace is the mode in which the light is equally diffused through th e roo f, w hi c h is formed of transparent painted cloth. All the shields and scrolls in the decorations bear the device and cognizance of the League—a wheatsh e af, w ith the mottos " Free Corn," and ~ Free Trade." The whole arrangements do infinite credit to the taste and ingenuity of Mr. Grieve, from whose designs, and under whose superintendence, it has been executed. JONATHAN SHARP ; OR, THE ADVENTURES OF A KENTUCKIAN, W RITTEN BY HIMSELF.—After Colonel Crocket and Sam Sl ick, we sadl y wanted a new s p ecimen of an American liter ar y hero, and Jonathan Shar p has done wisely in p r esenting himself as an adventurer of a different type to those with which we are already fami liar. Our Kentuckian has gone through a series of ad ventures of the most exciting character, in Cuba, in Mexico, in Texas, among various tribes of Indians in the neighbourhood of the States, as well as some of a less startling nature in Europe, and has written his history partly with the object of displaying to his countrymen the deplorable state in which society exists among them, and partly to make the European reader acquainted with the true state of affairs in Texas, &e. His narrative is worthy of De Foe. It is full of romance from beginning to end. There is scarcely a chapter in the work that would not have made the fortune of a modern novel list, for whether the author be exploring the haunts of the Bu. cancers of the Havannah, wearing among the trackless prairies of Texas, dwelling with the hospi table planters in Mexico, or making the acquaintance of Mormons, Indians, or Yankee bravoes of the true bowie knife school, he renders his narrative so singularly inte resting, that the reader finds it impossible to lay it down till he has gone through to the last page- MEMOIRS OF PRINCE CHARLES STUART.—We are requested to state, that Mr. Colburn, of Great Marl borough-street, has this day published " Memoirs of Prince Charles Stuart, commonly called the Young Pre tender, with Notices of the Rebellion in 1745," by Charles Louis Klose, Esq., in 2 vols., Bvo., with portrait. 245. bound, which can now be had of all booksellers. Mr. Colburn has also just published-2. Adventures in Georgia, C:r cassia, and Russia, by Lieut.-Col. G. Poulett Cameron, C. 8., &c., 2 vols., 21s. bound. 3. Peninsular Sketches, edited by W. 11. Maxwell, Esq., author of " Stories of Waterloo," &c., 2 vols., 21s. bound. 4. A second edition of The Crescent and the Cross, by Eliot Warburton, Esq., 2 vols., with illustrations, 21s. bound. 5.

Three Years in Constantinople; or, Domestic Manners of the Turks, by Charles White, Esq., 3 vols., with 34 illus'eations, 31s. 6d. bound. Is is rumoured that a key to the characters in the new novel of " Self," by the author of " Cecil," is pre paring for publication. The number of individuals al luded to, obviously portraits of living or lately deceased persons, certainly entitles the work to that distin g uished honour, though it w ill cu t s hort the pleasur e now bein g enjoyed by various portraits ex hibit e d i n its pages — the b ri g htest of so many of finding nut the ori g inals of the which, however, according t o the Athenerunz, are its humorous ones. " When all is said and done," says the same acute critic, " the reading world would be truly ink, promised in the motto, blind to its own interests were it to refuse to welcome one of this worldly, clever, and entertaining family of novels. Long live Cecil, then! and may the gall in his hold bitterly out."

The first will take place on Friday next, and the second on Friday, the 16th instant. The Countess de St. Aulaire gave a magnificent ball On Friday at Manchester Hou-e, in honour of the birth-day of the King of the French. Among the company were the I)uchess of Cam bridge, Prince George of Cambridge, nearly all the Foreign Minis. tens, and a large number of the English nobility and gentry. Many of the ladies were dressed in the costumes worn by them at her Majesty's Drawing-room, and the ball-room thro•rghout the even ._ . ing presented a scene of splendid magnificence. The Duke of Cam. bridge, owing to the debate in the 11,use of Lords, was unavoid. ably prevented from paying his respects to the Countess de St. Aulaire on this occasion. On Thursday evening his Grace the Archbishop of Cant'rbury gave the annual entertainment, at Lambeth Palace, to the Bishops and other Church dignitaries. The dinner, which was replete with every delicacy of the season, was served in the ancient guard.chamber of the Palace.

Prelate on the occasion of her Majesty's marriage.

IVIISCEZZAWBOITS. - 17% On Friday the annual general meeting of the members of the Town Missionary Society was held at the Freemasons' Tavern, Great Queen.street ; John Dean Paul. Esq., in the chair. From the report read by the secretary, it appeared that the object of the society was to employ agents to read the Scriptures to the poorer classes in the towns and villages throughout the country. The society had been the means of originating 52 missions, employing 120 missionaries ; but some of them, owing to a want of sufficient support, had been discontinued. Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Bristol, Norwich, and Chelmsford, were amongst the towns visited by the missionaries, and where a great many successful as well as unsuccessful attempts had been made to improve the spiritual con. dition of the people. The society maintained 15 agents; and the income during the year amounted to 8011., while the expenditure was 1,0871.; and in addition to which there were outstanding debts to the amount of 601. The report having been adopted. and seve ral resolutions pa.sed, the meeting separated. The anniversary meeting of the Sydenham Society was held on Friday, in the rooms of the society, in Frith.street, Dr. Ayrton Paris, President of the Royal College of Physicians, in the chair. The report announced that the number of members was nearly 1,800, and that the proceedings of the society in the republication and distribution of old and valuable medical works amongst the profession were highly satisfactory. The operations of the society had been greatly facilitated by the exertions of the numerou local secretaries appointed in most parts of the country. The anniversary meeting of the members of the Horticultur Society was held on Thursday at their rooms, Regent-street, R. H. Adly, Esq., in the chair; and amongst the members present were Sir Charles Lemon, Bart., Sir Robert Price, Bart., M.P., and Sir W. Middleton, Bart. The report of the auditors stated that the income during the year amounted to 7,3521., the payments to 7,1021., and that the outstanding debts had been reduced to 9,557/. From the report of the Council it appeared that great alterations and improvements had been made in the gardens at Chiswick, the great conservatory alone having cost 2,0001. Con siderable expense has been incurred in obtaining foreign Irnporta. I lions, and in sending out expeditions to collect all that was calcu lated to advance the science of horticulture. A Club for chemical investigation had been formed in connexion with the Society, and from the researches of which great hopes are entertai,ed. After the adoption of the report, the Duke of Devonshire was elected Pre. sident, and the members of the Council having been appointed, the meeting adjourned. Oss Friday there was issued, by order of the House of Lords, a reprint of an account (first issued in 1835) of the ecclesiastical revenues of all dignities and benefices of the sees of St. Asaph and Bangor, on an average of three years, ending 1831. It thence appears that the total amount of the average gross yearly income of the see of Bangor was 6,580/., and of St. Asaph 7,408!. That the permanent yearly payment made out of the revenues of the former see were 2,1161., leaving a net yearly income of 4,4641.; and that the permanent yearly payments out of the revenues of St. Asaph were 1,1071., leaving a net yearly income of 6,3014 On Friday was held, at the Freon s' Tavern, the annual meeting of the Camden Society (fur the publication of early hibto rical and literary remains). The. President, Lord Braybroke, took the chair, and was supported by a number of gentlemen of eminence in the literary and antiquarian world. From the state.nents made, it appeared that the funds of the society continued prosperous, and that the investment in the funds had been considerably increased during the year. Four volumes of historical or literary Interest aid value had been during that period issued to the members, in cluding an early translation of Polydore Virgil's History of the Reigns of Henry VI , Edward IV., and Richard 111. Numerous other works of great curiosity and importance were represented to be preparing for publication, or nearly ready to be distributed to the society. The expenditure had been upwards of 965/., but the receipts, exceeding 1,1771., there remained in the hands of the treasurer a balance of 2111. odd, besides numerous subscriptions that had not yet been paid. The Commissioners have decided that in future the Siring Cir. c' .tits shall commence invariably on the lit of February, and that on that day six weeks the sittings in London and Middlesex shall take place. By this arrangement it is believed the terms will not be disturbed, and the Winter Circuits may be dispensed with. 2,Q 533 1,723 253 2,264 4,420 1,23 1 7,644 4,347 17,444 1,150 3,539 915 6,140 3,254 4,883 8,623 1,319 307 1,222 5,499 4,735 2,504 ~ tv '°LT 1( 4 ,.7 3 C 8..

Copies were, through the public spirit of Mr. Murdo Young, the proprietor of The Sun, distri. buted to the Exeter banks, the reading-rooms, and several mercan. tile firms of , -he city, by whom this early intelligence wa► properly appreciated.— Western Times. THE ECLIP,E OF THE SUN, &e.—On TRE'Sday next, the 6th inst., an annular eclipse of the sun will take place, g forty-nine minutes after seven o'clock in the morning, which will be visible throughout England, and, should the atmosphere continue in its present clear and almost cloudless state, will prove most interesting. On Thursday, the Sth inst., another interesting astro nomical phenomenon, that of the transit of Mercury, will take place at nineteen minutes after four o'clock in the afternoon, which wtll also be visible in this latitude. DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—On Friday forenoon, ab , )w twelve o'clock, the vicinity of the City-road, Islington, was volved in the greatest excitement in consequence of the falling in of several houses adjacent to the Sportsman public.house, and which is likely to prove fatal in its results. It appears that some old and dilapidated houses belonging to the proprietors of the " Working Orphan School Charity," City-road, had become con demned and untenantable, and were sold with the ground on bui'ding lease to Mr. Piayst, of the City-road. For some days past labourers were employed pulling down the houses and remov ing the old timber and rubbi►h, until four of them remained to be pulled down. Yesterday forenoon the labourers re-contmenced their work, and were engaged in pulling down a party wall, which suddenly gave way, and in an instant the whole of the premises fell upon the unfortunate men and buried them in the mine. An out cry was immediately raised, and crowds of persons assembled on the spot. In about a couple of hours they succeeded in finding the body of Michael Martin in a state of insensibility and con siderably injured, and within a short distance Martin Owen and Johd Day, a labouring boy, were also found lying apparently dead. Two other men were also found much injured, but not dangerously, they being in possession of their senses, but nearly suffocated. Several medical men were speedily procured, and every humane assistance afforded the unfortunate sufferers until they were con veyed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, where Michael Martin, Martin Owen, and John Day remain without hopes of recovery, but the others were enabled to proceed to their homes, but in a weakly state, with severe bruises. SUPPOSED CHILD MURDER.—Ott Frid iv Mull in'2* as a man, named Brands, living in New-square, St:Bride's, was going down hobin Hood.stairs, Shoe-lane, about halfpast four, he observed a bundle. He took it into Shoe-lane, when, on opening it, he found the contents to consist of the body of a male child, which was covered with paper, the external wrapper consisting of an old piece of calico. There WAS nn mark upon either. The deceased was given to a City policeman, who took it to the West London Unio❑ Workhouse, West-street, Smithfield. The upper part of the body presented a livid appearai.ce, and the,e was a bruise upon the skull. The police were yesterday making inquiries to discover the unnatural parent. 3,699 894
