THE MAGAZINES. BLACKWOOD. • A second book of "My Novel ; or Varieties in Ermlish Life," being commenced in the present num ber of Blackwood, Pisi6tratus avails himself of the opportunity to preface the new iestalinent with an initial chapter introducing us agsin into the very midst of his renowned "Family Pletnee." For, in asmuch as this kind of episode promises to bring us again into communion with the Caxtone, we are re joiced ; otherwise we cannot help thinking in some manner with the Anachronism that it is a somewhat irksome and puzzling interruption. In the instance before - us the initial chapter consists of a gmsipping argument as to the propriety of any such proceeding, an argument in which the conversation is charac teristically maintained by Roland, Augustine, and .Piaistratus. By a witty arrangement, arieing out of a hint (taken from a humorous quatrain, said to have been penned by the great Conde, and cent by him to Madame de Montansier), it is decided that the pa rentage of the " Novel" shall be traced in a three fold manner to the above• mentioned disputente— " 7cl enfant en a jump' a trois Resuming the thread of the narrative, the novelist tells us in his own incomparable way the manner after which Master Frank and Signor Riceabocca held converse with each other. The alarm experienced by the latter at the prospect of drinking some of the sour wine manufactured by the Italian and his familiar Jackeyrno is capital. After delivering his message and the letter of invitation to Riceabocce, Frank pro ceeds to the miserable village and Hall of Rood, for the purpose of visiting his brother Etonian, Randal Leslie. The whole family of the Leslies is Lit off to a nicety, the father, the mother, the brother, the sister, and best of all, Randal Leslie himself. The last-mentioned is pencilled in strong colours, and gives promise of figuring most conspicuosly in:the fiction. His patron, Audley Egerton, is yet more admirably delineated. So minutely and cha racteristically are all his personal traits defined by the writer, that we cannot divest ourselves of an impres sion that it is drawn from the life, even to the very lineaments. A dialogue held between the Right Hon. Audley Egerton, in his ministerial chambers in Downing-street, and a certain mayor of a provincial town, who turns out to be one Dick Avenel—is written with a great and nervous energy. The inci dent of this quarrel is destined very evidently to have a strange effect upon the fortunes of the chief persons in the narrative. We are half expectant that Randal Leslie may turn traitor to his benefactor, and in this manner somehow realise the threat of Richard Ave nel. An article on " The Rise, Power, and Politics of Prussia . ' conveys a very dismal impression of the social, moral, political and intellectual condition of Germany. In what manner Mega speaks of the Germans may he guessed from this one disparaging paragraph :—" Germany is irreligious ; its Protestant population is infidel, its Popish is sunk in the depths of superstition." As affording a rapid view of the elevation of Prussia from a petty duchy to a great and flourishing kingdom, the paper is eminently deserving of a perusal. " Flours in Spain" will be found a very agreeable contribution, containing a fund of literary gossip as to the land of Cervantes and Calderon. A second criticism on "Modern State Trials," the last and not the least valuable work of the late Recorder of Macclesfield, carries us back to the period when some of the darker crimes in the annals of iniquity weer perpetrated, and presents to us, among others; . •the , ghastly phantoms of Courvoisier. Some passages are powerfullyend patheticallywritten, bearing token,in one or two instances, we are fain to think, of the mas ter-hand of Mr. Warren. A condensed translation of a popular German romance, called after the heroine, "Anna Hammer," comes next in the contents of the number for November. Penned in an animated strain, it will be perused with interest and satisfac tion. Old Mansie Wench, tailor, of Dalkeith, one of the veteran contributors to Blackwood, comes down with sledgehammer violence upon the head of the luckless " Alton Locke," the tailor, poet, and Char tist, who has recently startled the world of critics with his eccentric autobiography. After this labour of destruction, the number is wound up with an ar gument on the "Renewal of the Income-tax," a paper singularly attractive, coming as it does, in anticipation of next year's Parliamentary session. Among these sterling prose articles of Maga, we miss the poetical fragments to which that periodical has accustomed us as coming from the hands of such lyrists as Delta or B. Simmons. Barring these, however, the current number of Blackwood is excellent. "To Brighton and Back for Three and Sixpence ;"1 and Nicholas Michell progresses with his serial story of " Hester Somerset." Another continuation in the New illoahly will be found not only interesting but instructive—WO mean the one relating to the "Junc tion between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans," from the pen of Dr. Hamilton, of Plymouth. " Soapy Sponge's SportingTour"is also pursued with indefatigable anima tion. Two poetical ccutribu!ions are moreover contained in the New Monthly for November, one " A Song of the Mouth," by J. E. Carpenter, and another " A Canzonet," by W. Charles Kent. Besides the fore going, should likewise he mentioned a paper relating to " The Track of John Franklin," a learned article on the " Progress of Discovery in Southern Africa," and a postscript of miscellaneous criticisms. Altogether the New Monthly for this last month but one in old 1850 displays as brilliantly as ever its versatility, its ability, and its capacities for affording intellectual entertainment. COURT CIRCULAR. OSBORI\.TE, Nov. L The Queen and Prince Albert . , accompanied by their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, Prince Alfred, the Princess Alice, the Princess Helene, the Princess Louise, and Prince Arthur, and attended by the Countess of Mount EdAecumbe, the Hon. Caroline Dawson, Miss ILld yard, Colonel the Hon. Charles Grey, Lord Alfred Paget, Lieutenant-Colonel Francis Hugh Seymour, and Mr. Birch, left Oiborne, Isle of Wight, at twenty minutes past ten o'clock yesterday morning, crossed in the Fairy royal steam-yacht to Gosport, and from thence travelled by the South-Western and Great Western Railway, by route of Basingtokejand Reading, to Windsor. The august party entered several of the royal car riages at the Windsor station and proceeded to the Castle, where her Majesty and the Prince arrived at five minutes before two o'clock, and were received by Lord Byron, the Master of the Household, Lieut.- Colonel the lion. Robert Boyle, Colonel Buckley, and Colonel Bouverie. The Queen and Prince Albert walked in the Park in the afternoon. Lord Alfred Paget left the Castle this afternoon. Colonel Buckley has relieved his Lordship in his dutes as equerry in waiting to her Majesty. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent and their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess Augustus of Saxe Cobourg Gotha, are expected to dine with her Majesty this evening. The Oxford University Commission met yesterday at the official residence of the First Lord of the Treasury, in Downing-street. The Commissioners present were :—The Bishop of Norwich, the Dean of Carlisle, the Master of Pembroke, and the Rev. H. G. Liddell. The Rev. A. P. Stanley (secretary to the Commis sion) was present. Dispatches were received yesterday at the Colonial Office, from the Governors of Ceylon and Malta, and also from the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands. Dispatches. were sent off last evening from the Colonial-office, for the Governors of the North American Provinces, and also for the Governors of the West India Colonies. THE FRENCH FLEET IN TORBAY. TORQUAY, Nov. I.—The French fleet returned to the bay again on Wednesday afternoon, and took up a position somewhat nearer in shore, where they are still lying. The ships are anchored in divisions this time, and not in so irregular a manner as when last here. Yesterday, the weather being very moderate, a great many people from Dartmouth, Brixham, Tor quay, Teignmouth, Dawlish, and Sidmouth visited the fleet, and met with great ccurtesy from all the officers on board. The Friedland was the favourite, and was much crowded with visitors all day—probably on account of her being the senior officer's ship. The Admiral entertained a large and distinguished party of ladies and gentlemen from this place at luncheon, and kindly allowed the, baud to be constantly playing for the gratification of all the visitors. The Friedland is in excellent order inside, parti cularly so on her main-deck, where everything is arranged with the greatest economy of space, giving very ample room for fighting her guns, &c. Her upper deck is rather crowded. The orlop-deck is very neat, and also the lower-deck, where there is a great deal of room. All the fittings between decks and on the upper-deck are very handsome and in good order. I cannot compliment her on her appearance aloft ; everything is clumsy, heavy, and very old-fashioned. There appears to be a want of good practical seaman ship in all the vessels. The crew of the Friedland are mostly young men, and I could see but few thorough-looking tars among them. The officers were most attentive to all classes of visitors, and I heard them several times inquire if they could show them anything more. The French officers and crews will leave this an chorage with an excellent character for their kindness and politeness, but no one will he able to call them sailors in the true meaning of the word. The English officers who reported upon these ships at Cherbourg saw them in holiday attire, and to the best ad• vantage in harbour. A few months' cruising and exercising would be beneficial to all.—Times. COLBURN'S NEW MONTHLY. Foremost bath in position and importance among the contributions to the New Monthly for November, is an official paper describing the intrigues of a Russo- Anattian alliance in the Danubian Principalities. From this remarkable and most perspicuous contri bution, entitled " Foreign Influence on the B3nks of the Danube," the reader may obtain an instant and vivid appreciation of the difficulties of late years clus tering more and more thickly over the city of Bucha rest., and generally speaking also over the whole of the provinces of Wallachia and Moldavia. Previously to explaining the real position of affairs in those unfortunate principalities, the writer—evi dently master of his subject—dissipates all the false impressions abroad as to the nature of the dis turbances recently taking place in Bulgaria. All those disturbances he attributes to the despicable in trigues of the Viennese and the St. Petersburgh Go vernments, intrigues tending perpetually, if possible, to embroil the Christian peasantry with their rulers, the Muasulrnen ; and most justly attributes this ferocious policy in the instance of the Kaiser to a spiteful thirst for vengeance on the Sultan Caliph, for the hospitalities shown by him last year to the fugi tive Hungarians, and in the instance of the Czar to the lust of realising that ambition so long cherished by the imperial lords of the Muscovites. Rather should we have said in reference to Russia, that the author of this masterly paper on the Danubian Pro vinces laughs to scorn the notion of the Czar ever ex tending his rule to the waters of the Golden Horn, insist ing that Nicholas is too sagacious to dream of ever occu pying with his legions the palaces and harems of Con stantinople, and that consequently all his military efforts and diplomatic intrigues against the Ottoman Porte arise solely out of his anxiety to preserve the confines of his dominions as much as possible from the contaminating touch of liberal institutions, or from the yet more subtle infection of liberal ideas and principles. As well, thinks the writer in the New Monthly, might the Brother of the Moon dream of eating with his chop-sticks in the Elysee or in Buck ingham Palace, as the Czar indulge in visions of nailing as a conqueror through the channel of the Dar dandies. He recogniFea too much vigour in the councils of the Sultan, too much vitality in the Turkish Government, too much enterprise and en lightenment in the views of the Osmanli states men to imagine for an instant the prac , ticability of the Cossacks ever affixing the banner of the double eagle to the minarets of Byzantium. In the generous, but still impartial esti mate, thus formed of the Administration at Constan tinople, we cordially and entirely coincide, as those might readily conjecture who have watched our arguments for some years past, in the leading columns of this journal, in regard to the infamous and unjusti fiable occupation of Wallachia and Moldavia by the barbarian soldiers of the Autocrat. Against this oc cupation the intelligent correspondent of the New Monthly inveighs with just and earnest indignation, depicting it as diametrically opposed in its character to the stipulations of the treaty of Adrianople, a treaty which, as far back as 1460, proclaimed the Sultan the sovereign lord paramount of those principalities, and constituting the Autocrat as the potentate, simply • guaranteeing the carrying out of the views of that famous compact. We are rejoiced to observe the tempered but emphatic words 'of com mendation passed by the writer on Prince Stirbeg, in whose talents we would fain recognise some assurance of the ultimate redemption of the provinces from :Russian domination. The boyards alone are spoken of as men having some interest in maintaining the authority of the Czar at Bucharest, and even in their regard we cannot but imagine that the fancied advantage is purely supposititious, and that in the restoration to its due predominance of the influence of Turkey, the boyards, as well as the prince and the peasantry, would ultimately recognise the best assurances of happiness. Respecting the so.. called Bulgarian insurrection, it is said that mediately Austrian and Russian intriguers were to blame, and that immediately the culprits were Marouf Aga and Sherif Effendi. While passing judgment thus ad versely upon those officers, a tribute of respect and admiration is offered, on the other hand, to Yasuf Bey and to Ahmed Vefyk Effendi. We are gratified to observe, from. the heading of this important political statement in the New Monthly, that the subject will be resumed. The argument is already too lucid and valuable not to render the reader :lolicitous to witness its continuation. Among the lighter contributions to the magazine are many deserving this month of es pecial praise, imparting, as they cannot fail to do in perusal, some sort of animation to the suicidal month of November. " London Locomotion, or the Cab Stand," is a capital essay upon that haunt of public conveyances, penned partly in the style of Pierce Egan, nod partly in that of Charles Dickens. "My Cambridge Coach," to the uninitiated might sound as upon a kindred subject, though there are thousands who will not need to be told that the coach is not a vehicular contrivaece but a moan, in this instance one Mr. Staunton.

THE PAPAL AGGRESSION - DEPUTATION TO THE BISHOP OF LONDON. Yesterday morning a deputation from the clergy of the city of London waited upon the Bishop of London, at London House, St. James's, for the purpose of pre senting to his Lordship a memorial from the clergy of the Arehdeaconry of London on the subject of the re cent Papal aggression. The Rev. H. R. Roxby read to his Lordship the fol lowing memorial: — My Lord,—We approach your Lordship with senti ments of sincere respect and affection. Having heard with indignation and concern of the recent aggression of the Bishop of Rome, in appointing by assumed authority a Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster, and in assign ing, under a papal bull, certain districts of the country to the spiritual jurisdiction of clergy entitled Bishops of the Roruish Church, sae feel it oar duty to declare our resolution, with God's help and blessing, to co ' operate us far as we are able in guarding the rites and privileges of our native Church from the assaults of foreign and usurped dominion. The y call to mind the fact ;hat the faith of Christ, in its purity of doctrine and worship, had boon planted and established in the realm of Britain some centuries before the mission from the Romirli Sec, in the time of Pope Gregory, had let foot upon our shores. We know when the Church of Rome had, by its unscriptural decre7s arid idolatrous practices, cor rupted the primitive faith, with :shut joy the call to re formation was received in this land, and at how great price our religious freedom was vindicated and recovered by our Protestant fore fathers; and wo believe and tru,t that there exists, in the laity as well as the clergy of our communion, such a hearty u'!rh for the main tenance of the Christian' truth in all its integrity and verity, as elLcinally to resist this nova and pre sumi tuous me event; which appears to us to be nothing lass than an affront to the Queen's T.dsjytty, and the lawful prelates, clergy, and people of this Protestant kingdom, and a bold attempt to undermine, and even tually to destroy, our constitution in church and state. " That your Lordship will be pleased, under the blessing, and guidance of the head of the Church, to offer your powerful counsel in our present conjuncture. " We cannot conclude this memorial without request ing to offer to your Lordship our best and warmest thanks for the dignified and uncompromising Christian tone of your reply to our Rev. Brethren at Westminster, and we ever pray, &e." The Bishop of LONDON Sad that, having read the memorial presented to him by the clergy of the city of London, ho wished to express his entir e concurrence in its principles. It was so important, however, that ho would rather abstain at present from making any formal reply. The Rev. IL R. ROXBY, on the part of the London clergy, thanked his Lordship for the courtesy which on this, and every other occasion, his Lordship had exhi bited towards his rev. brethren. — The deputation then withdrew. LIZIEHOUSR —Yesterday, a meeting of the laity of this parish was held at the Town-hall, Limehouso—the Rev. George Roberts in the chair. The speakers unani mously condemned the recent Papa l aggression, and re solutions to that effcct were agreed to. An address to the Bishop of the diocese was also passed. THE PROTESTANT FEELING OF THE COUNTRY.— We join in the hope, and look forward to the issue of, the struggle with confidence, because we know that the vast ma jority of the people of England are as firmly opposed to the incursions of Rome as were their martyred forefathers. The Protestant feeling of the country will soon be roused, and we had a striking proof in our town on Tuesday night that is by no means dormant at present. Mrs. Fanny Kemble was reading the fine historical play of King John, and when she came to the reply of the monarch to the Romish car dinal— " Thou can'st not, cardinal, devise a name So slight, unworthy, and ridiculous, To charge me to an anse er, as the Popo. Tell him this tale, and from the mouth of England Add this much more That no Italiun priest Shall Tythe or toll in toy dominions." The last line drew forth a kng and spontaneous cheer, which amply proved two things—that the language ee sbaks_ pore is fitted for all ages, and that resistance to the tyranny of Rome exists, as an innate principle, in the minds of Eng lishmen.—Cheltenham Journal. CooL !—The following notice is placed upon the door of the French Catholic Chapel, George-street, Portman square, and one to the same effect in Fsolem n rench : Te " On em Sun day, November 8 , after vespers, a De of thanksgiving for the restoration of the Catholic hierarchy in England."

OF COLONEL EIFRSTEMAN.—We regret to announce the sudden death of the above-named gentleman, while on a visit to Mrs. Bingham, his mother-in law, at Southend. The circumstances under which the me lancholy event took place were thus detailed at the inquest, held on Wednesday, at the Royal Hotel, before W. Codd, Esq., coroner for the county :—Richard White, servant to Mrs. Bingham, residing on the Terrace, at Southend, de posed—The deceased, Jeremiah Kersteman, was a magistrate of the county, residing at Canewdon, and was between sixty and seventy years of age. He came on a vhit to Mrs. Bingham, his mother-in-law, about three weeks since, and appeared in the enjoyment of good health and spirits. The last time I saw him alive was about twenty minutes berme eight o'clock last eight. He was then going up stairs. About ten minutes after Mrs. Kersteman came down stairs and said that she thought Colonel Kersteman (the deceased) was either dying or dead. 1 went up stairs immediately, when I founit him lying across the bed in the dressing-room, quite motionless. I unfastened his collar and took his stock oft; and held him in a sitting position until the arrival of Mr. Warwick, the surgeon, who had been sent for, and be came immediately, but the deceased appeared to he quite dead. —Mr. Warwick, surgeon, had no reasonable doubt whatever that the death of the deceased was to be attributed to an attack of apoplexy.

Steadman and Sells, surgeons, of Guildford, having been found dead at his lodgings at a late hour on Wednesday night, a jury were empannelled by Mr. J. Rand, coroner for the borough, on the following morning. F rom the evidence adduced, there could be no doubt that the de ceased's death had been caused by poison, but whether taken intentionally did not appear. It came out that the deceased had been lately summoned to the County Court for a trifling debt, and that the circumstance had occasioned him considerable annoyance. The unfortunate man had attended the performance of an oratorio at the public hall on the evening o f his death , and bade his friends " Good bye" on returning home. The jury having consulted together, found the following verdict :—" That the deceased died from the effects (,f poison, but whether taken medicinally, or with an intention to eornmit suicide, there was no evidence to show."

CAPTURE OF TWO BURGLARS. Yesterday at half-past twelve o'clock the banking house of Messrs. Mangles, at Epsom, Surrey, was broken into, and an immense quantity of silver, cheques, notes, and gold, besides other property, was stolen therefrom. Two men, since recognised as London thieves, were stopped outside the town by a mounted patrol of the V division, who suspected them from the heavy burdens they were carr)ing, and drew his cutlass, with which ho threatened to cut them down if they movel. The constable took them to the Epsom station-house, when Sergeant Kennedy, the acting inspector for that district, had them strictly searched, and a largo quantity of money, principally silver, was taken from them, as well as other valuable booty; they were then locked up• and the property se cured. The acting inspector communicated by express with Mr. Bicknell, the superintendent, who resith-s at Wandsworth, end he immediately forwarded inf,rma tion to the Police Commissions LATEST PARTICULARS. ErsoM, Nov. I.—The inhabitants of this little town were alarmed this morning by the discovery that a burglary, attended with circumstances of great d iring, had been perpetrated during the precedirg night on the premises of the West Surrey Bank, nearly opposite the Clock-house and in the centre of the High-street of Epsom. The olurm occasioned by the announcement was in some degree allayed when it became known that the thieves, or at least some of them, had been cap tured, with all the booty they obtained in their pos ses-ion, and that Sergeant K,:nnedy, the active police superintendent of this district, had the scoundrels safe in his custody. The facts connected with the burglary may be briefly told as follows :—The West Surrey Bank, which belongs to Messrs. Mangles, brothers, and has its head office at Guildford, has a branch in this town. The office consists of two rooms on the ground floor of a house occupied by Mr. R. Moore, carrying on business as a fellmonger. The house is detached on one side, Mr. Moore's yard, in closed by lofty gates, running between his own residence and that of Mr. Holland, who lives next door. The apartments occupied as the bank are a front office and one small room behind, which latter is lighted by a window looking into Mr. Moore's yard. This window was fixed upon by the burglars as their point of entrance, in effecting which they adopted very similar means to the Frimley robbers. The window alluded to was an ordinary sash, strengthened inside by three iron bars. The burglars first cut away and removed the sash, which they deposited very carefully in an outhouse in Mr. Moore's yard, and then loosening the fastenings in one of the bars, they forced it inwards, and bending it up obtained rafncient room to admit a man's holy. Having thus secured an entrance they struck a light and commenced ransacking the place. While the thieves were thus engaged Mr. Holland (Mr. Moore'e next door neighbour), who sleeps in a room overlook ing the yard, had occasion to get out of bed. On going to the window, he at once observed a light in the little back office belonging to the bank, and as it was now about two o'clock he felt satisfied that all was not right. Mr. Holland spoke to his wife on the subject, and Mrs. Holland got up to hare a peep. She soon discovered what she thought were the figures of two men, and summoning Mr. Holland to make a second observation, they both clearly saw two individuals in the little back office of the bank busily engaged in ransacking the place ; one of them holding a lighted candle in his hat, and the other andtarmed w e i pen drawerst e h a w chisel,open.in de w or r e ei‘fi hr s i c s w bedroom • Holland's driver, andfirst forc inggive i impulsee en cupboards alarm, wa and with that view he threw up the sash, and called out as loud as he could, "Is that you, Mr. Moore ?" The burglars heard him call and instantly decamped, having first put out their light. Mr. Holland has tened to put on his clothes, and in a very few minutes was on his way to the police-station. Almost imme diately upon leaving his own door he encountered a man in the High-street, whom he addressed without obtaining any reply. This man walked off in ano ther direction, and Mr. Holland proceeded to give an alarm to the police. He had scarcely arrived at the station ‘a hen two prisoners were brought in by the officers of the local police, and charged on suspicion of having stolen property in their possession. Mr. Hol land having communicated to Sergeant Kennedy what he had seen, that officer ordered the prisoners to be put back while he himself proceeded to ascertain the state of affairs at the bank. On arriving there he found the house had been entered as above described, and on making an examination it was discovered that the thieves, after ransacking all the cupboards and drawers in the bank, had entered Mr. Moore's private apart ments, and regaling themselves on bread and beef and vs ine, had subsequently stolen several articles from the room. Happily the plunder obtained was altogether very small. The iron safe in the back office of the bank resisted all the efforts of the rascals to break it open, although considerably injured by the rough usage it has received. The point of a " jemmy," used in attempting to force it, was found sticking in een the doors, and the corresponding portion of the instrnment was subsequently discovered on one of the prisoners by Sergeant Kennedy. A cupboard in this room was broken open and a bottle of wine taken out, and from a desk which was also forced se veral blank cheques were abstracted. The front office was entered by cutting away the bolts of the door communicating between the rooms, and here 12s. fid. in silver money was taken out of one of the tills. Happily, all the other cash, in accordance with the usual custom, had been taken to his private residence by Mr. Everingham, the Ina - Jager of the bank, on the previous evening. The door leading from the front office of the bank to Mr. Moore's private apartments was forced, and in all the other rooms the robbers committed great havoc, breaking open drawers and strewing their contents about the floors. The only articles missing, however,, are a great coat and some silver spo ons. Mr. Kennedy having completed his search retu rned to the police station accompanied by Mr. Moore. On the prisoners being called forward Mr. M oore at once identified his coat on the back of one of the robbers, and on his pockets being searched the silver spoons stolen from Mr. Moore's kitchen were discoved. The broken " jemmy" and the blank cheques were found upon the other prisoner, and all doubt as to their participation in the robbery being removed they were at once put back into cells. One of the prisoners gave his name last a m hr i se s tu b mhr , eeo b srre u : refusesmorning, ogt, owl Bih: :—Felice-constable when neo observing nbh g sse i ett v ar t e bvhli as George Roberts, and describes himself as a gun e smith, h y g i 3 s are ot wl ad o l v d a man calls himself Charles Dowe, and says he is a The circumstances which led to their apprehension strangers them.

Both the fellows were brought up before the local magistrates this morning, and underwent a private examination. The Baron de Tessier and Mr. Henry Gosse were upon the bench, and Mr. William Everest, the clerk to the magistrates, was in attendance. The evidence of the police officers having been taken, Mrs. auspicious ssf: from Guildford. othee Moore (in the absence of her husband) was called to identify some of the articles stolen, and this baying been done most satisfactorily, both the prisoners were remanded until Monday next, when it is expected the evidence against them will be complete. Among the articles left behind by the prisoners is a razor firmly fixed into a wooden handle, raising a strong suspicion that bad they met with any resistance in the house murder would have happened. Great credit is due to Mr. Sergeant Kennedy and the force under his command for their admirable conduct in the apprehension of the prisoners. Roberts appears about thirty-two years of age, and is five feet four inches in height. He is respectably dressed, and his linen is marked "F. S." Dowe is inches in eighteen years of age, and five feet four in height. He is very swarthy, and has a mole upon his left cheek. Both prisoners were conveyed to Kingston this evening. BANK OF ENGLAND.

He looked more confident about his own safety, and less anxious and thoughtful than on any former occasion. The first witness called yesterday was Francis Potter, a labourer residing at Stoke, near Guildford, who remembered on Friday evening, the 27th of September, meeting Levi Harwood on his way up Woodbridge-bill. There was some ono with him who resembled Samuel Harwood, but ha could not swear that it was he. The witness was at some length pressed to say positively whether it was Samuel Harwood, and at last said he had no doubt that he was the man. None of the prisoners asked Potter any question!. Charles Weston, assistant to a grocer at Guildford, and who recognised all the four prisoners, proved that Jones, previous to the night of the murder , c ame to the shop and asked for a pennyworth of the best gun powder. Witness told him that he could nut still the best in such small quantities, and he produced an inferior quality, whereupon Jones asked if it was good, and he replied jeculaily, that "it would blow him up." Jones then bought a pennyworth and left. At the close of this evidence the magistrates deli ber&ted for same time, and then _ _ The Chairman, addressing Samuel Harwood, said —I shall remand you again, as some evidence bas been given which brings you nearer the place where the crimes with which you stand charged were com mitted, and makes your innocence more doubtful. As to you three (addressing Junes, Smith and Levi Harwood), I shall commit you for the murder and the burglary. If you have anything to se.y we shall be ready to hear it ; but before vou make any state ment I must caution you, according to the terms cf the Act of Parliament. I don't know how many of you are represented by Mr. Neale (the solicitor, who was again in attendance), but he will give to those of you who are his clients the proper legal advice on the occasion. Mr. Neale—l represent the Harwoods and Jones, and I should advise them to reserve their defence till put upon their trial. Levi Harwood—l don't wish to say anything. Jones 2-4 leave it to Mr. Neale. Mr. Neale then asked permission, on behalf of his two clients committed, to see their relatives and friends. If they were sent to London a serious ex pense would be incurred in going these to see them. The Chairman declined deciding upon this appli cation at once, but promised to consider it. Smith, on being asked if he had anything to state in his defence, said, " I have nothing more to say than I have said." The Chairman—That is no reason fur not commit ting you to take your trial, as it is evidence against yourself. Smith (with great coolness)—Of course not, Sir. The Chairman having remanded Samuel Harwood till Wednesday next, at twelve o'clock, the prisoners wero withdrawn and the proceedings terminated. ASHFORD MECHANICS' INSTITUTION. On Thursday evening last, the " introductory lec ture" was delivered in the Assembly Rooms, before the members and friends of the .Ashford Mechanics' Institution, by the Rev. John Dufton, M.A., Rector of Warehorn. The Rev. Gentleman was greeted during his able and eloquent address with repeated marks of applause by a large and respectable audi ence. Thelecturer commenced by stating that it was with feelings of high and heartfelt satisfaction that he made his appearance thus in public upon the pre sent occasion. It had been his good fortune for some years back to act in concert with a few right-minded men, with the view of supporting an institution fraught, he trusted, with cumulative blessings to the inhabitants of Ashford. From the evening of its for mation to the present time, various observations had been made, as coming from most respectable quarters, calling in question the real utility of the establishment of a " Mechanics' Institution" in Ashford, and im plying the entertainment of doubts with regard to the needfulness, policy, and beneficial tendency of the measure. With a view of meeting all such scruples of this nature as may be entertained by any class of the community, and at the same time for allowing the public to judge how far their proceedings in this matter are the offspring of proper principles, and of sound and patriotic views, it had been deemed advise able by the committee of management, that the appro priate operations of their institution should this season commence by a public lecture, explaining the objects of its establishment. To his individual feelings, the honour of having been chosen to fulfil the wishes of the committee on this head, he need scarcely say, was altogether gra tifying. It is true that abundant proof has been afforded from the well-earned reputation of others who had delivered lectures in this institution, that the task might have been committed to far abler hands ; yet none, he felt sure, could have brought to its execu tion greater willingness to do the institution service, or more sanguine feelings with regard to the import ance, success, and advantages of its future operations. Through evil report and good report he had long en deavoured to enforce the peculiar claims of such an institution upon public support, and to demonstrate the advantages ofeducation and knowledge, of wisdom, and of truth, whether considered in relation to an indi• vidual, a town, or a nation. The Rev. Lecturer then proceeded to give, in deep outline, a highly interesting and powerful sketch of the nature, design, and teaching of the institution which they had that night met to re-open, and wound up by a forcible appeal to his audieece. As we are unable to furnish our readers with a report of the lecture we must content ourselves at present with drawing their attention to the following syllabus as previously announced and adhered to : Definition of education—religious and secular—the province of reason—divine revelation—mental training —illustration knowledge and wisdom—structure and study of language—writing—arithmetic—draw ing —music—reading-room and lectures—political economy—science—mechanics—new town—its menu facture—artisans—chymistry—its nature and objects —utility—iron—stone—illustration—natural history —geology—astronomy—literature — library —histor y —biography—geography poetry Ashford Me chanics' Institution, nature, design, and teaching of— public support worthy of—conclusion. At the ter mination of the lecture, of the varied subjects of which it treated the above will convey some idea, a vote of thanks was proposed by H. Whitfeld, Esq., and seconded by Mr. Keene, of the New Town, to Mr. Dufton, for his valuable address, and carried by acclamation. The lecture occupied nearly two hours in the delivery. We have reason to think it will shortly be published. A. portrait of Mr. Whit feld was then exhibited, which had been presented by the members of the institution to that gentleman for his untiring exertions in its behalf. The likeness is faithful and striking. As a work of art it is highly creditable to the artist, Mr. Clarke (son of our towns man, Rev. T. Clarke), and gives satisfactory evidence of steady progress in pursuit of excellence. We beg to express our cordial admiration of the ability of Mr. Clarke, and our assurance that his rising fame will be extended by a production of such unquestionable merit.—Kent Herald. DEATH Or LORD RANCLIFFE.—This noble Lord, who for many years has led a retired and quiet life, expired at his seat, Bunny Hall, in the county of Nottingham, at six o'clock yesterday (Friday) morning. The deceased, the Right Hon. Augustus Henry Anne Parkins, was Baron Rancliffe, in the peerage of Ireland, and a baronet of Eng- land. Ho was born on the 10th of June, 1985, succeeded his father, Thomas Boothby, first baron, Nov. 17. 1800, and married Lady Elizabeth, eldest daughter of George, sixth Earl of Granard, on the 16th of October, 1807. His Lordship had for ma n y y ears been separated from Lady Rancliffe (who survives him), and has died without issoe— consequently the title of baron is extinct. The Englieb baronetcy, however descends to Mr. (now Sir Thomas) Parkins, of Ruddington, near Nottingham, and with it a very sm all portion of tile late Noble Lord's estate. The rest of the heirable property, between 1,0001. and 2,000/. a year, is su cceeded to by Sir Richard Levinge, Bart., of Knockdrim Castle, county Westmeath, son of his Lordship's eldest sister, married to Sir Richard Levinge, father of the present Baronet, on the 3d of December, 1810. But every pennyworth of heirable property, which is supposed to be very considerable, is willed to Mrs. Burt, who for about twenty years had been living upon intimate terms with his Lordship. Lady Ran cliffe, now, and for a very long period past, living in France, has her income of 1,0001. a year increased to 2,1001., by virtue of articles entered into at the separation. LAST SHOTS FROM TUB DER& FORESTS: Almost the last shot of the season has now been fired in the deer forests. About the middle of this month a number of beau tiful heads were added to former trophies. The finest ant lered head we have seen this year was shot by John Balfour, Esq., Strathconon. It is a royal head, perfect in all its parts, the top antlers, three on each side, from 6 to 9 inches long. The length of each horn is 31 inches, Ci inches thick, and 24 inches span. Another head with ten antlers, larger than the above in some of its dimensions (particularly in the horns, which aro the stoutest we have seen for years), was shot by Lord Ranelagh, at Ardgour, on the 16th inst. Tile length of the horns is 311, inches, 7 inches in thickness, and 28* span. Richard Arabin, Esq., had two very good heads on his last day's stalking before leaving Dundreggan. H. W. White, Esq, shot four red deer at Monar; R. S. Hol - Esq., one stag, with wide ten-antlered horns. At kb nacard2ch, E. Digby, Es:q., shot a large stag, weighing 21 stone clean, with a large and handsome royal head; and another, with a royal head of horns, 25 inches span, and 30 inches long, was shot at Glendce by M. Longficld, Esq., en the 10th inst. On the 21st inst. Felix Pryor,Esq., shot a royal stag, and two other stags the previous week. In the Kin lochewe forest, Captain Codrington killed a stag with royal antlers.—lnrerness Courier.
