We notice these facts, as it is of the most essential importance that the strictest faith should be reposed in those connected with new projects. But should assumed titles be given to parties which are not warranted, it requires but little foresight to assert that confidence in the projects,though good in the main, will fail m obtaining public support. By the selection of good parties, locally connected, and of wealthy individuals who really can pay, and by excluding L stag Provisional Committee-men, the best interests of rail way extension will be forwarded. A contrary course will ' hereafter lead but to disappointment_ It would be a useful ' manual to the public, for any one to select the names of Pro visional Committee-men, and annex good or bad to them. There are not any late Colonial arrivals announced in the City to-day. There have been some considerable sales of Money Stock • to-day, and prices were lower by % per cent. early in the day, but the market has since in some degree recovered. In Bank Stock a fall of 214 per cent. occurred on yesterday's closing prices. A sudden rise took place from 205 to 207, and the present price is 206 1 4. Exchequer bills reached from 49 to 51.

Under these circumstances. a stand is about to be made for an advance of price; the pre sent rate of remuneration of sixpence per sheet for common law, thirty-six lines, and eightpence for Chancery, of forty two, not being deemed sufficient. The subject is one that has created considerable interest in the neighbourhood of Series. place and Chancery-lane, and a meeting is about to be con vened to settle the matter before the commencement term. THE SIT N, LONDON PRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 17, 1845 ROYAL MAIL STEAM-PACKET COMPANY. The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors and share holders of this Company took place yesterday, at the Lon don Tavern. puty ANDREW CoLvitx, Esq., de 7 chairman, presided, and upon taking the chair regretted being compelled to do so in consequence of the indisposition of their worthy chairman, J. Irving, Esq.. M.P. The Secretary (E. CHAPPEL, Esq.) having read the adver tisement calling the meeting, The CHAIRMAN said that he supposed every gentleman had read the statement that had been sent round to all the proprietors; that statement was not one of the accounts that would be laid before the proprietors at the annual meet ing in March, it was merely a comparative statement of the working of the ships up to the 30th of June last, giving on the one side the sums paid by the Government, and the earning of the vessels, and on the other the whole of the expense that had been caused by the operations of the Company. Gentlemen would see from that that there was an increased surplus of the receipts beyond the expenses, and that it was so far satisfactory, that it showed that the prosperity of the Company was on the increase, fur the re :eipts fir the last half-year were considerably more than the former. He would now call upon the Secretary to read the report, which he felt no doubt would meet with the approval of all present. The SECRETARY then read the following report of the Di rectors of the Royal Mail Steam-packet Company : " The present meeting is convened to exhibit the working account for the first six months r f the current year, by whicu it will appear that the Company's affairs are proceeding in a steady and satisfactory manner. " As contrasted with the corresponding half of the last year, there is an increase of expenditure of 3541. 19s. 2d.; but deducting the proportion applicable to the half-year of the 2,000/. per annum, voted by the last general meeting as remuneration to the Directors, there is, in the actual working of the concern, a saving upon expenditure of 645/. Os. 10d. " Upon the receipts of the same period there is an increase of 9,754/. Os. 9d., showing therefore a clear augmentation of surplus of 9,3991. Is. 7d. " For the first half of the present year the surplus is shown to be 75,556/. 16s. 4d., which is applicable to repairs, to re placement of capital, to insurance, or to payment of dividend; and it is satisfactory to add that, up to this period, there has been no charge upon the insurance fund for the current year. " Upon a general review, therefore, of the Company's operations, the Directors feel warranted in proposing a divi dend, payable on and after the 23d inst., for the first half of this year, of one pound ten shillings per share, free of in come-tax, being equivalent to five per cent. per annum on the paid-up capital. " The scheme of packet service, as arranged by the se cretary, and which came into operation two years and a half ago, continues to work with perfect regularity; giving, to all appearance, entire satisfactiou to the various colonies and countries embraced within the limits of its operations, as well as to the public at large, and the different depart ments of her Majesty's Government. The effects of the plan in question, and of the economical measures adopted by the Board of Management, to improve the condition of the Company's affairs, may be briefly stated as follows For thehalfyear, ended in June, 1843, when the last altera- tion in the routes was made : Receipts £158,048 14 7 Expenditure Surplus For the half-year ended in June, 1545 : Receipts 184,681 17 5 Expenditure Surplus Increase £41,215 0 9 " That this increase has not been the result of any sudden or fortuitous circumstances, is proved by the fact that it has been steadily advancing every half•year, and it will be seen by the working account now presented, that (with one trifling exception) the augmentation is upon each head of freight and passage money, outward, homeward, and inter colonial. " With a view to promote economy and insure regularity in the conduct of the Company's affairs abroad, in the month of November last the Directors dispatched their colonial superintendent to inspect the whole of the Colonial depots, and other fixed establishments; as well as to observe and report upon the manner in which the service afloat was con ducted. " After an absence of nearly ten months, and the able ful filment of all the objects contained in his instructions, this gentleman has returned to England, and, according to his report, good order prevails in every department; the steam ships of the Company are well conducted, arriving at and departing from the several places with the utmost punctuality. ' "As stated at the last general meeting, six of the Com pany's steam-ships were docked, caulked, and re-coppered in 1844, being one more than was stipulated for in Mr. Pitcher's contract for their repair. " During the present year four more have had a similar complete refit,' and the eleventh and last is now in dock at Blackwall for the same purpose. " While, therefore, the utmost attention has been paid to augment the receipts, and to diminish the expenditure of the Company, the condition of its ships has not only been effi ciently upheld, but in many respects decidedly and materially improved. " Finally, the Directors have to state, that they have just arranged with the Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury the terms of an amended contract, confirming the modifications which bad been made (provisionally only) by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty; and whereby the affairs of the Company are placed for the future upon a more secure and satisfactory basis." On the proposition that the report be received and adopted, Mr. POYNDER said that he could not but express his gra tification atlhearing the report. He had:attended the meetings of the Company amid storms and tempests, and he had always prophesied, and that prophecy had turned out to be true, that their seaworthy vessel would right herself.— (Cheers.) Mr. RIDGWAY felt anxious to make a few observations on the repoit before it was adopted by the meeting. There was no mention in that document with respect to the manner in which the comforts of the passengers had been considered by the Directors. He had heard several complaints from passen gers, and those, too, veryrecently. Great complaints were made of them being transferred three or four times during the passage from one part to another. He deprecated the course that was pursued of putting the Proprietors in possession of the contents of the report at the twelfth hour. He con sidered that the Proprietors ought to have the report at least three days before the meeting took place, as they would be enabled thereby to come there prepared to make such statements with respect to it as they thought it called for. It might by some be considered a favour to the Shareholders to adopt such a course, but he, for one, thought the Proprietors had a right to have it done. There was a large sum put down for provisions. Now he should like to know how they were provided, as he had heard great complaints made on that head. Complaints had also been made of the scarcity of necessary accommodation on board the vessel. This, in his opinion, ought to be well looked to by the Directors. Then as to the stations, something ought to be done, because, looking at what was going on in the railroad world, it was impossible to suppose that Southampton could long be considered as the most eligible station ; indeed, at present, he considered it a great waste of time to come to Southampton, and when certain proposed railways were in operation, it would soon be seen whether Southampton was a proper station or not. At Milford Haven there was to be a railway, and he con sidered that that place would be a most eligible one. He was glad to see so large a meeting of the Proprietors, be cause it showed that great interest was taken in the affairs of the West Indies.—(Hear.) The regularity of the arrival of the mails was beyond all praise. Captain Wmsn could not sit silent after what had been stated by the Hon. Proprietor who had just sat down. He had had letters from the West Indies, in all of which the accommodation of every description on board the packets was highly praised.—(Hear, hear.) He was surpnsed to see the Hon. Proprietor continuing at every half-yearly meeting to cry down a Company in which he had so great an in terest.—(Cries'of "No, no," from Mr. Ridgway.) The Ho nourable Proprietor denied that he did so, but notwith standing that, be must consider that it might most happily be said after this it was an ill bird that fouled its own nest.— (A laugh). The CMAIRIVIAN said, that all had been done by the Directors for the comfort of the passengers that could be thought of. Where complaints had been made, they had been enquired into. and if well founded, their cause removed. The report was then received, and adopted unanimously. Mr. RIDGWAY said that he should never be deterred from performing what he considered to be his duty, by being told that he was a bird that fouled his own nest.—(Hear, hear, and laughter.) He should now move, that the report be printed and circulated among the Proprietors, and in doing so, he would put it to any person present to say whether lie had not always interested himself strenuously on behalf of the Company ?—(Hear, hear.) • The CRAIRMAN thought it quite unnecessary, considering that the press had always kindly given publicity to their re ports, to print the present one. Mr. RIDGWAY felt it to be his duty towards the Proprietors to persist in his motion. Captain WARREN seconded the motion, which, upon a show of hands, was declared to be lost. The meeting then broke up. THE STAR STEAM-BOAT COM- PANY. The general annual meeting of the Shareholders in the Star Steam-boat Company was held onWednesday, at the Lite rary Institution, Gravesend, and was numerously attended, the fair sex forming a large portion. The CHAIRMAN ( Cruden, Esq.) said, in meeting the proprietary he was happy to congratulate them on the fa vourable position of the Company. They had combatted with a variety of difficulties, and it was some considerable consolation to hitn to find that they had overcome them, and that their property was in a promising condition. Their old debt they had greatly diminished, and the Directors had de termined, after mature deliberation, now that it was so much defrayed, to give the Shareholders some portion of the re ceipts for the capital they had invested in the Company.— (Hear.) He bad heard it stated that no dividend should be paid until their liabilities were entirely disposed of; but the Directors thought that that would be accomplished, and a dividend declared also. In adopting that step, however, the Directors had taken all responsibility—the Shareholders had paid up all their calls, and further demands could not be made upon them. The Secretary, Mr. NBSON, then read the audit ors' re port, when a dividend of 2s. 6d. a share on the half-year's account was proposed to be declared. Mr. Buns, one of the Directors, said he must be per mitted to offer his protest to the proposition. He certainly should be glad to receive the half-crown upon his ~hares, but when he found, by so doing, the liabilities to the Company would be considerably increased, it was his bounden duty to oppose such a course, and he trusted the proprietors would see the propriety of refusing the dividend, not only for the purpose of liquidating the demands of the Company, but also to protect their officers. Mr. PALLISTER wanted to know by what hocus-pocus style of business the Directors could free the proprietary of the liabilities spoken of. Mr. MATTHEW, the Solicitor to the Company, said, that in the deed that constitutes the Company, there was an in demnity, or covenant, which protected shareholders, after calls bad been paid up. Mr. PALLIsTER observed that he had heard much of the opposition the Diamond Steam-boat Company was said to have evinced to that of the shareholders, but lie really thought such was not the case. Here was a company next to being insolvent from a lengthened contention with a rival company, when in point of fact it ought not to be mixed up in it at all. The question in dispute was really not between the Star and Diamond Steam-boat Companies, but the latter and the Blackwell Railway Company. To prolong the differ ence would promote the non-success of their property, and he really thought the meeting should express an opinion on the subject. He hoped every means would be adopted to avoid the misunderstanding acting to their prejudice. The CHAIRMAN said he understood the Hon. Shareholder had also an interest in the Diamond Company, and he was g tb l he a. ei d nge to on h t e e a t, r ti s , u , :h conciliatory measures broached by a. pro prietor in this L com , :any. When it was said, however, of existing between the Star and Diamond caused by the Railway Company, let them both act in concert—put their u together.—and they would soon' find that every arrang• ment would be made by the railway.—(Hear, hear.) It was the non-compliance, or the unwillingness of the Diamond Company that had led to the difference. Mr. Mnaniorr, a Director, begged to say a few words in answer to Mr. Palliater's assertion of that Company being in an insolvent state. He had made a careful investigation into their funds, and he found the bona fide property of the Company amounted to between 13,0001. and 14,000/. ; its liabilities did not exceed 9,0001., and he would put it to the meeting whether a Company having a surplus of property to the extent of near 5,000/ could be said to be in an insolvent state ? After some further discussion, a dividend of 2s. 6d. was de cided upon ; and on the Directors being re-elected, they undertook to reduce the amount allowed for their services to one-half, as also the balance required to be in hand. After a vote of thanks to the Chairman and Board of Di rectors, the meeting broke up. -LITERATURE. A BOOK FOR A RAIIVY DAY ; or, Recollections of the last Sixty-six Years. By John 7 oras Smith. Mr. John Thomas Smith is assuredly the in: st in quisitive of mortals, and therefore the most talkative. He seems to have been "everybody's" Boswell, and fortu nate is it for us of the present day, that the "- Notabili ties" of the last three-quarters of a century did not act on the old adage— " Percontatorem fugito nam garrulus ides n est." Had they done so, we should have been deprived of this most amusing specimen of auto-biography. Mr. Smith was born, and bred, and lived in L. didon. He is a Cockney intus et in cute, and his reminiscences of old London, of the Marylebone tea-gardens for instance, and " the Field of the Brothers' Steps," and of Milbank, when it was the country, in the days when the arrival in London of some great personage from Chelsea was thought a thing worthy to be chronicled, are exceedingly amusing. The follouing entry occurs under the date 1774 : " I well remember when, in my eighth year, my father's playfellow, Mr. Joseph Nollekens, leading me by the hand to toe end of John-street to see the notorious terror of the king's highways, John Rann, commonly called Sixteen string-Jack,' on his way to execution at Tyburn, for robbing Dr. Bell, chaplain to the Princess Amelia, in Gunnesbury lane. Rann was a smart fellow, a great favourite with a certain description of ladies, and had been coachman to Lord Sandwich. The malefactor's coat was a bright pea green : he had an immense nosegay, which he had received from the hand of one of the frail sisterhood, whose practice it was in those days to present flowers to their favourites from the steps of St. Sepulchre's Church, as the last token of what they called their attachment to the condemned, whose worldly accounts were generally brought to a close at Tyburn, in consequence of their associating with abandoned characters. On our return home Mr. Nollekens, stooping close to my ear, assured me that had his father-in-law, Mr. Justice Welch, been high-constable, we could have walked all the way to Tyburn by the side of ? the cart." What would be thought at the present day of a Royal Academician who should take a boy, eight years of age, the nephew of an admiral, to see an execution, by way of a treat ? Nous arsons change tout cela, and most as suredly the change has been for the better. Mr. Smith, when drawing in Nollekens' studio, had frequent op portunities of seeing Dr. Johnson : "He was tall, and must have been, when young, a power ful man : he stooped, with his head inclined to the right shoulder: heavy brows, sleepy eyes, nose very narrow be tween the eyebrows, but broad at the bottom ; lips en ormously thick; chin, wide and double. He wore a stock and wristbands; his wig was what is called a Busby,' but often wanted powder. His hat, a three-cornered one; coats, one a dark mulberry, the other brown, inclining to the colour of Scotch snuff; large brass, or gilt buttons, black waistcoat, and small-clothes sometimes the latter were corduroy; black stockings, large easy shoes, with buckles; latterly he used a hooked walking stick: his gait was wide and awkwardly sprawling. " I once saw him follow a sturdy thief, who had stolen his handkerchief in Grosvenor-square, seize him by the collar with both hands, and shake him violently, after which he quickly let him loose, and then, with his open hand, gave him so powerful a smack on the face, that sent. him off the pavement staggering." This concluding anecdote is very characteristic. This book contains sundry odd bits of information which we should look in vain for elsewhere;—for instance, we learn incidentally that Voltaire, during his stay in Lon don, lived in Maiden-lane—that Vandervelde painted the sea distances in the portraits Of the Hampton-court Admirals, at present located in the Painted Hall, Greenwich—that Hugh Honison, the late keeper of York-terrace, was the original Strap of “Roderick Random"—that Charles I. was not so liberal a patron of Vandyke as has been commonly sup posed, but that he was in the constant habit of cutting down Vandyke's charges for pictures frequently to one-half, and that at Vandyke's death Charles owed him large sums, which his heirs could never recover. All these little bits of information are communicated inci dentally ; but as there is neither index nor table of con tents to the work, the reader will have " to search all the day ere he find them." Whether, " when found, they are worth the search," it is for him to determine. Seri ously speaking, an index would add greatly to the value of this book, and we trust, that when it reaches a se cond edition, which no doubt it will, ere long, this hint will not be forgotten. The following, anecdote of the marriage of Angelica Kauflinann will probably be new to many of our readers:— " Angelica Kauffmann was a great coquette, and pre tended to be in love with several gentlemen at the same time. Once she professed to be enamoured of Nathaniel Dance; to the next visitor she would divulge the great secret that she was dying for Sir Joshua Reynolds. How-. ever, she was at last rightly served for her duplicity by marrying a very handsome fellow personating Count Horn. With this alliance she was so pleased, that she made her happy conquest known to her Majesty Queen Charlotte, who was much astonished that the Count should have been so long in England without coming to Court. However, the real Count's arrival was sometime afterwards announced at Dover; and Angelica Kauffinann's husband turned out to be no other than his valet de chambre. He was prevailed upon subsequently to accept a separate maintenance. After this man's death she married Zucci, and settled in Rome." In 1803, Mr. Smith saw Belzoni, afterwards so cele brated as the Egyptian traveller, exhibiting in Bartho lomew fair as " the Young Hercules, or the Patagonian Sampson." Various stories have been current as to the early career of Belzoni. Mr. Smith gives tne following account of him, and, as he was personally acquainted with that extraordinary man, there is every reason to believe it is authentic : "He was a native of Padua, and educated in order to be come a profound monk ; but during the frenzy of war, being noticed by the French army, in consequence of his command ing figure, to be admirably well calculated for a fugleman, prudently avoided seizure for so deadly a service by getting together what few things time would permit him, and so left Rome. I should have stated to the reader that, upon his arrival in London, in the year 1808, he walked into Smith field (luring Bartholomew-fair time, when he was seen by the master of a show, who, it is said, thus questioned his Merry Andrew Do you see that tall-looking fellow in the midst of the crowd? he is looking about him over the people as if he walked upon stilts; go and see if he's worth our money, and ask him if he wants a job.' Away scrambled Mr. Merryman down the monkey's post, and, 'as quick as lightning,' conducted the stranger to his master, who, being satisfied of his personal attractions, immediately engaged, plumed, painted, and put him up. The reader will readily conceive that a man like Belzoni, seriously edtfcated for the duties of the Church, and accustomed to associate with people of good manners, could with no little reluctance en dure the vulgar society his pecuniary circumstances alone compelled him to associate with. However, after the expi ration of nine years, in the course of which time he had married and saved money, he and his wife were enabled to visit Portugal, Spain, and Malta, from which place they embarked for Egypt. Fortunately for Belzoni, the wife he bad chosen more than equally shared his numerous dangers, by spiritedly joining m all his enterprises, which some of my r e a ders will recollect are most delightfully described by her self, in what she styles 'A Trifling Account,' printed at the end of her husband's ' Travels in Egypt, Nubia,' " &c. We must now take our leave of Mr. Smith, assuring him that we consider his very amusing gossip an excel lent " book for a rainy day." MEMOIR of JOHN AUBREY, F.R.S., embracing his Auto biographical Sketches, and an Account of his Works. By John B7ittrn , F.S.A. four • rs About yea since several noblemen and gentle men of Wiltshire established the Wiltshire Topographi cal Society. The object of this Society is to illustrate the history of the county of Wilts, by publishing his torical and descriptive accounts of places and things in the county, and biographical memoirs of celebrated men natives of Wiltshire. To the institution of this Society we are indebted for the publication of the very inte resting memoir now before us, which rescues from the obloquy which has been mast undeservedly thrown upon it the memory of a man who was an honour to his coun try, and who was far in advance of the age in which he flourished (from 1626 to 1697). Unfortunatel;', how ever, for Aubrey's fame, he became acquainted with Anthony a Wood, whom he permitted to have access to his manuscripts. Anthony a Wood having in the most barefaced manner plundered Aubrey, having cut out 44 pages bodily from Aubrey's lives of eminent men, and appropriated them as his own, turned round upon his benefactor, and actually had the impudence to brand him whom he had plundered as " a pretender to antiqui ties, a shiftless .person, roving and magpttie-headed, and sometimes little better than crazed. The only pub lished work at this time of Aubrey's was his miscella nies, in which he had been at pains to collect all sorts of ghost stories and tales of witchcraft, and in which he avowed his belief iu judicial astrology—a belief which he held in common with Dryden, Clarendon, the witty Duke of Buckingham, King Charles 1., and other eminent men, his contemporaries. As Aubrey, in con sequence of this publication, has become the classical authority on this matter, and as all subsequent authors, when treating on the subject, have quoted from him, his name has become inseparably connected with the follies of that pseudo-science, and posterity treated him as the crazed and " maggottie-headed," being that Anthony a Wood maliciously represents him to have been, solely because he believed in that which was the prevailing faith of his time, without taking the pains to inquire into the real character of the man as developed in his manu scripts still existing in the Ashmolean Museum, and which prove him, on many points, to have been far in advance of his age. " He may be regarded," says Mr. Britton, " essentially an archeologist, and the first person in this country who fairly deserved that name. Historians, chroniclers, and topo graphers there had been before his time, but he was the first who devoted his studies and abilities to archeology in its play, numismatics, heraldry, &c. No one before him investi gatedvarious ramifications of architecture , genealogy, paleogra phy, or understood any thing of the vast Celtic temple at Avebury, and other monuments of the same class; and cer tainly no person had preceded him in attempting to distin guish the successive changes in style and decoration of ancient ecclesiastical edifices, or to ascertain, by observing architectural features and details; to what era any particular building belonged." His great work on this subject is his " Monurnenta Britannica," abridgments of which are in the Bodleian Library, at Stourhead in Wilts, and in Mr. Britton's collection. The original, however, although known to have been in existence as late as 1819, in four folio vo lumes, of 100 pages each, is now nowhere to be found. It was then in the library of W. Churchill, Esq., of Henbury. To Aubrey also is due the honour of having first demonstrated that Stonehenge was a Druidical mo nument, in opposition to the opieion of Inigo Jones, by whom it was considered as a Roman stork. In early life Aubrey was a member of Harrington's celebrated Rota Club. He was one of the origi nal memb ers of the Royal So c iety, an d th e intimate friend and as,ociate ot Hobbes of Malmesbury (of whom he wrote a most interesting biographical memoir), Hooke, and Sir W. Petty, and Evelyn. It is not probable that these men would have admitted into thtir intimacy " a maggottie-headed man nearly crazed." But Aubrey had offended the clergy of the University of Oxford by a manuscript treatise, e ntitled " Idea of Education of Young Gentl em en from Nine to Eighteen," which is still in existence in the Ashmolean Museum, in which he not only utterly condemns the beastly practice of flogging, but proposes that " the education of young gelid, men should be better conducted and more inde pendently of the priesthood than in any academy or college -then extaht." - * Are we not justified in saying that -Aubrey was in advance of his age. Here is the very scheme of priestless education so recently proposed by the Government. But Aubrey foresaw that the bigots would be too strong for him, for he thus concludes his es ay But now, methinks, I see a black squadron, led up by a crosier staff, (Dr. John Fell, Bishop of Oxford), marching from Oxford to discomfite this pretty little flock, and so this my pleasing dream is at an end — Soli Deo Gloria." The scheme itself is excellent —there is one point of it, however, which may create a smile. He recommends the study of astrology "as the best guide to direct us to what professions or callings children are by nature most fit or most inclined to ;" but if the reader will have the goodness to substitute for astrology, phrenology,or any other ology which may be most in fashion, as teaching what astrology then professed to teach, he may perhaps feel inclined to be merciful to poor Aubrey. The follies of one age bear a marvellous resemblance to those of its predecesso:s—the names alone are changed. The " black squadron" of that day, however, were wiser in their generation than the black squadrons of the pre sent. They contented themselves with attacking the author as a crazy," maggottie-headed" man, without ven turing to attract attention to his plan by raising against it the cry of a " godless scheme of education." Had Aubrey lived in our day he would have been honoured and reverenced, and his name would have appeared as director of some score of joint-stock companies. He was a most ingenious projector. Here are two of his schemes—l. " To get a patent to open the passage for to make it wider for shippes to come to Bristowe, also to blow up the little island in the key at Bristol." A cen tury afterwards this was carried into effect, and the Bristol docks were formed. 2. "To put somebody upon the marrying the Thames and Avon, and to get a share in it." This has also since been done by the cutting of the Kennet and Avon Canal. We see it is the intention of the Topographical Society of Wiltshire to publish his Natural History of that county ; we shall look forward with great interest to the appearance of this very curious work. Mr. Britton hal executed his labour of love—for it has evidently been a labour of love with him—in a style which makes this a model for future biographers of literary men. His research has been unwearied, and he has been enabled to enrich his memoir with several interesting literary anecdotes ; for instance, when speaking of Aubrey's MS., entitled, " Memoirs of Naturall Remarques in Wilts," he says— "ln chapter 17, which illustrates the grandeur of the Pembroke family, and describes their splendid seat at Wilton in the following passage, which is here quoted as a matter of curiosity, throwing a doubt (as it does) upon the authorship of one of the most celebrated verses of the seventeenth century : "' Underneath this sable hearse Lies the subject of all verse, Sidney's sister—Pembroke's mother. Death, ere thou kill'st such another, Fair and wise, and leaned as she, Time will throw a dart at thee.' " These verses were writ by Sir William Browne, who wrote the Pastoralls,' and they are inserted there. "The above lines are almost universally attributed to Ben Jonson ; it is, therefore, essential to observe that Aubrey is not alone in stating them to be by Browne, the author of the 'Pastoralls; ' for, in his note upon the subject, he left a blank for the latter's Christian name, ' William, which was filled up by Evelyn, when he perused his manuscript. Indeed, Evelyn not only filled up such blank, but added, as a further note—' William, Governor to ye now Earl of Oxford.'" We are now reluctantly compelled to draw this notice to a close, but we cannot do so without offering our hearty coneratulations to Mr. Britton on the triumphant manner in which he has vindi,•ated the fume of one of Wiltshire's most worthy sons, and at the same 'line expressing a hope that other ceuoties will follow tto example of Wiltshire, by instituting Topographical Societies for the illustration and preservation of those historical monuments which have been delivered to us by our forefathers in trust for posterity. We had al most omitted, to mention that the memoir is illustrated by a portrait of Aubrey and a view of Easten Piers, the place of his birth. HOP, CHEESE, AND HORSE FAIR. WEYHILL (NEAR ANDOVER), OCTOBER 13.—The beautiful morning brought a vast c9ncouri.e of people, on pleaswe as well as llusiness, to this vast annual fair and carnival. The roads were literally crowded with people of both sexes ; and the coache,2, carts, and vehicles of every description, would lead a Londoner to believe the concourse of people were the outpourings of London, rather than at a fair 66 miles from the great metropolis. HOPS.—FARNITAM Row.—Though on Friday, at twelve o'clock, not more than 300 pockets had been brought in, yet, by twelve o'clock this day (Monday), nearly 4,000 have been placed for sale in that part alone. Twelve guineas per cwt. is the price demanded for the best Farnham ; but few buyers at that price, A reduction must be submitted to, or many will remain unsold. _ LONDON Row.—This is principally occupied by the Lon don merchants—T. D. Evans, Gibbons. and Co., Calloway, and others, principally having Hops consigned to them for sale. COUNTRY Row.—This i 9 occupied by partly country growers and London hop dealers. At least 5,000 pockets and bags were there for sale. The prices demanded were from 81. to 91. 10s. per cwt., but not many buyers at those prices, they holding back till to-morrow. A. reduction must be sub mitted to. ------- CHEESE FAIR.—Not more than 150 tons pitched for sale; very small quantity—one-third less than last year. Prices as follow :—Somerset best Chedder as high as 70s. per cwt., for two or three prime lots; common Somerset Chedder, from 565. to 635. per cwt. ; ditto, good cheese, up to 565.; best double Gloucester ditto, from 545. to 58s. per cwt.; ditto single ditto, 525. to 545. per cwt.; common ditto, 40s.— from 2s. to 4s. per cwt. cheaper than at Reading large Cheese Fair. --- HORSE FAlR.—Though this is the third day fair for the sale of horses, a crinsiderable quantity are still for sale ; from three to four hundred of the cart kind, one hundred coach and nag horses, sixty cobs and ponies. It is with much pleasure we hear that not one act of rioting, disorderly conduct, or any other offence has been committed up to this time at the fair, so as to call for the in terference of the police. THE STATE OF TRADE, PAISLEY.—We are sorry to have to state, that during the present week our trade has been rather duller than it has been for some months past—an occurrence which is generally looked for at the close of the season, and which, it is to be hoped, will be of short duration. —Renfrewshire Advertiser. THE GROWLER STEAMER.—We regret to announce, on the authority of a Correspondent, that two seamen be longing to this vessel, which recently arrived at Woolwich from the coast of Africa, have died since they were taken ashore. The cause of death has not been ascertained, .iid some alarm has been created, from fear that the disease has been the fever, which has so fearfully raged in the Eclair. Although no certainty exi is for this fear, the authorities, we are informed, are taking due precautions to allay the alarm. The Growler is to be fumigated, and every exertion made to prevent the possibility of contagion. The festivity at the opening of Lincoln's Inn Hall, on the 30th, is to be a morning collation, not a dinner or ban quet, as originally proposed; and we understand that the guests will consist exclusively of her Majesty's Ministers and immediate attendants. The reason for thus limiting the invitation is the very large Lumber of members of the Inn claiming to be present as of right. The Benchers will receive her Maje-ty in full professional costume. Lords Brougham and Campbell (both Benchers) are expected to be present, and walk hand in hand on the occasion. HOSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTION AND DISEASES OF THE CHEST, BnomProx.—lt is the intention of the commit tee of management to hold a second bazaar in the spring of next year, on the occasion of the opening of the west wing of the new hospital of Brampton. It is stated that the bazaar held last year at Chelsea, in honour of his Royal Highness Prince Albert laying the foundation-stone, was one of the most successful efforts of the kind ever attempted. Two thousand pounds were raised by its mem s, which, added to the building fund, enabled the building committ , e to proceed with so much vigour and rapidity, that arrange ments have been entered into for the completion, by next June, of the west wing and part of the centre, including the principal entrance. The western wing of this beautiful struc ture will be ready for the reception of patients about the middle of the ensuing spring, and under arrangements of the committee of management everything has been made con ducive to the restoration of health of the patients, and also to promote the efforts of the medical gentlemen who grapple with this most fearful malady. When fully completed, the institution will afford accommodation to upwards of 200 in patients. THE LATE FATAL STEAM-BOAT ACCIDENT OFf BATTERSEA.—Yesterday morning, about five, the body o Mr. W. Power, landlord of the Grenadier public-house, ere& f cent-mews, Grosvenor.place, who it will be recollected was drowned on the evening of last Sunday week, off the Be! House, Battersea, in consequence of the boat in which h. , was crossing the water being run down by the Citizen ( steamer, was found by a dredgerman, named Austin, at the bottom of the river, off the White House, Chelsea, within 200 yards of the spot where the collision took place. Mi. Bedford, the Coroner, will hold an inquest upon the body to morrow forenoon. CUSTOMS REVENUE OF LIVERPOOL.—The general quarterly abstract of revenue for the United Kingdom shows a decrease, under the head "Customs," of 1,154,4921., attri butable to the reduction of various important duties; and it may be interesting to learn how much of this amount belongs to this port. From the best information within cur reach, and which we believe to be accurate, we learn that the gross receipts at our Custom-house for the quarter just past were 897,9984 against 1,324,906/. for the corresponding period of last year, showing a decrease of 426,9061. Considering that the Customs revenue of Liverpool is, on the average of late years, _one-fifth of that of the entire kingdom, it may be thought that the above statement shows somewhat like a falling off in the trade of our port. It must be borne in mind, however, that we have this year lost the cotton duty,amount ing to 640,000/. per annum, nearly all collected in Liverpool ; and that the recent reduction in the sugar duties, computed at 1,700,000/. for the year, has fallen peculiarly upon this port. Taking these duties into consideration, we have rather improved our position than otherwise.—Liverpool Standard. THE NAPOLEON MUSEUM.—We are glad to find that the new purchaser of the Napoleon Museum has yielded to the request of those who were desirous that the very in teresting illustrations which it contains of the eventful career of " the foremost man of all this world," should be per mitted to remain among us a short time longer. The Mu seum, to which man} interesting relics and curiosities have been added, is at present exhibiting at the Egyptian Hall, Piccadilly, previon-:::, e regret to add, to its being removed by its proprietor to his residence abroad. We had hoped that there had been public spirit enough among us not to have suffered the museum to quit this country. NEW DEVICE BY RAILWAY STAGS.—ThP broken down stags, finding their former practices unavailing. have now resorted to a new practice of raising the wind, though in a small way. They now make a prrctice of ghing round to the different railways, and obtaining sever:il prospectuses, under the plea of coming from some respectable party whom they name; having obtained a sufficient. number, they then adjourn to the precincts of Capel-court, where they turn prospectus venders, and sell them at the t ate of 2d. each to those railway speculators who cannot lose time by writing for them. GRAND TRUNK RAILWAY.—The shares in this line came out yesterday, and in spite of the bustle of settling, it seems commanded favourable attention. The directors, it is de clared, have allotted More than three-fourths to parties locally interested in Leicestershire, Derbyshire, and Staffordshire, where the demand extended to nearly half a million of shares, though only 50,000 were to be issued. One favour able circumstance is mentioned, namely, the progres! , which the surveyors have made, so as to give good chance of the plans and sections being timely prtpared for Parliament.— Advertiser. IMPORTANT A PPLICATION BLACK WALL RAILWAY EXTh SION - ACT. At the Thames Police-court ()lINVedSWSday, Mr. Tycrman, a solicitor, accompanied by Mr. Wightman, i;e superii.ti.mient of the London: and Blackwall Railway Cempa v, and John Stock, Esq., a comity magistrate, came before M - r. Ballantine for the purpose of obtaining the magistrate's signature to a declaration that the whole if the isapital of the Blackwall Extenshn Railway Company had been paid up previous to the commencement of the fermation of tbe new line. The SOlicitor, who was provided with sundry forms and Acts of Parliament, stated that he ..ppeared as the represen tative of the Blackwall Railway Extension Company. The Bth of Victoria,'cap. 18, which was called "An Act for C4.,n -solidating in one Act certain provisions usually inserted in Acts, authorising the taking of lands for undertakings of a public nature," provided among other things that the certifi cate of two justices of the peace, certifying that the whole of the capital that had been subscribed should be obtained be fore any new line of railway should be commenced. He had now come prepared with the necessary proofs, and requested the magistrate to take evidence on the subject. Mr. Ballantine— What do you intend to do when you ob tain the certificate? Mr. Tyerman replied, to commence the new line of rail way from Stepney to Old Ford. The Act authorising the making of the railway was pai.sed last session; and had re ceived the royal assent. The company was registered under the 7th and Bth Victoria, the capital all paid up, and every thing was in readiness to commence operations. The Pclice Act gave any one magistrate of the police-courts the same power as any other two justices of the peace. Mr. Ballantine asked the solicitor how he was prepared to prove the capital was paid up? Mr. Tyerman said he could do so by his own evidence. Mr. Ballantine-4n what capacity do you stand? Mr. Tverman—As the authorised solicitor of the company. Mr. Ifallantine supposed the company was an incorporated one, and power was given to them to site and be sued in their corporate capacity. It struck him that the secretary, or some other recognised officer of the society, shoUld have made this application to him. Mr. Tyerman said the company was incorporated. The capital was 600,000/., three-fourths of which was required to be paid up before the Act received the royal assent, and one fourth afterwards. He had the Parliamentary contract with him ; it was signed by several parties, and everything was prepared in a regular and formal manner. Mr. Ballantine—But you are not incorporated in the Act. Mr. Tyerman said he was not, but he submitted that. his evidence could be taken. He would read the 16th and 17th clauses of the Land Clauses Consolidation Act. They enacted " that where the undertaking is to be carried into effect by means of a capital to be subscribed by the promoters of the undertaking the whole of the capital or estimated sum for defraying the expenses of the undertaking shall be sub scribed under contract, binding the parties thereto, their heirs, executors, and administrators, for the payment of the several sums by them respectively subscribed, before it shall be lawful to put in force any of the powers of this or the special Act, or any Act incorpotat,d therewith hi relation to the compulsory taking of land for the purposes of the undertaking. A certificate under the hands of two justices, certifyieg that the whole of the prescribed sum has been subscribed, shall be sufficient evideece thereof, and on the application of the promoters of the undertaking, and on the production.of such evidence as such justices think proper and sufficient, such justices shall grant such certificate ac cordingly." These clauses applied to the purchase and taking of land otherwise than by agreement. ' Mr. Ballantine looked over several Acts of Parliament and the one quoted by the solicitor, and said he thought he ought to have the secretary to prove the capital was paid up, and he did not like to affix his signature to the certificate as a mere matter of form. By so doing, he should confer on the company very extensive powers; and if he did wrong, might put those persons through whose property the railway was to pass to great inconwnience. Mr. Tyerman, in reply to the objections of the worthy mkastrate, said he had frequentl% done this before. Here was the Parliamentary contract, evidence in itself that three fourths of the capital wt...s p ,id. Mr. Ballantine—l am to be satisfied it is all subscribed and paid up. Mr. Tyerman—l can do that, sir. I produce the c eed, which is in itself evidence, and I can prove its authenticity. Mr. Ballantine—You can't prove you saw the money paid. ' Mr. Tyerman said if such evidence as that was required, every directiar and every shareholder must be produced. He knew of his own knowledge the whole of the capital was subscribed and paid up. The company could not have ob tained the Act of Parliament unless three-tourths of the esti matt d capital was paid up. The Act requires the remaining fourth bef re the company could put the compulsory clauses of their Act into effect. ' Mr. Ballantine said he did not think the solicitor was the party who ought to have come before him. He might be wrong; indeed, he hoped he was wrong. At present he had a difficulty; without intending to give offence to the solicitor, his opinion was, that Mr. Tyerman was not the proper representative of the company under the circum stances. Mr. Tyerman contended, at some length, that it was a matter entirely of evidence, and that no one could be better acquainted with the facts than himself. The secretary of the co npany allotted the Parliamentary grant, and verified certain acts, but he believed he was not so well acquainted with the financial affairs of tl e company as he (Mr. Tyer man) was. Mr. Ballantine said, he must be quite satisfied that all the necessary forms had been complied with before be received the evidence of the solicitor. He would consider of the sub ject, and Mr. Tyerman could repeat his application in a few days. Tyerman—lt is a matter which presses. We want to commence operations and the new line immediately. Mr. Ballantine—l am sorry to disappoint you. Come in a day or two. Mr. Tverman then took up his papers, and intimated that he should, if possible, make an application to two of the county magistrates. He then retired, apparently much dis appointed at the result of his application. He had previously applied at the Sessions House on Clerkenwell-green, but could not find a county magistrate to act with Mr. Stock, who, by-the-by, attended for the purpose of acting in concert with Mr. Ballantine, the forms being made out for " two justices of the peace," and was informed that the Police Act did not recognise him as a magistrate in any of the Police courts.

WIGAN, WEDNESDAY.—The nomination of candidates for the election of a Member to represent this borough, in the place of the late Peter Greenall, Esq., took place to-day at the Moot Hall. The candidates were the Hon. Captain James Lindsay, second son of the Earl of Balcarres, on the Tory in terest; and R. .A. Thicknesse, Esq., son of the late Ralph Thicknesse, Esq., of Beech-bill, near Wigan, formerly M.P. for the borough, on the side of the Free-traders. After the usual preliminary proceedings, JOSEPH ACTON, Esq., proposed Mr. Thicknesse as a candi date for the representation of the borough. REECE BEVAN, Esq., seconded the nomination. JOHN THOMPSON, Esq , proposed the Hon. Captain Lindsay._ Jonii LORD, Esq., seconded the nomination. Mr. TRICKNESSE and Captain LINDSAY severally addressed the electors. The MAyon called for. a show of hands, which was clearly in favo r of the captain. A poll was demanded on behalf of Mr. Thicknesse, which will commence at eight in the morning. Both parties appear confident of success. EXPEIIIMENTS IN WOOLWICH MARSHES. Wooewicif, Oce. 15.—Colonel Cockburn, Lieutenant- Colonel Dansey, C. 8., Lieutenant-Colonel Dundas, C. 8., Lieutenant-Colonel Chalmer s Assistant Director-General of Artillery; Lieutenant Colonel Hardinge, K.H., Lieutenant- Colonel Belson, Captain and Adjutant 'fireman, Captain and Adjutant Benn,42aptain Hennas, Lieutenant Gardiner, and Lieutenant Macpherson, with a number of officers of the Royal Artillery, and naval officers, assembled in the Marshes at one o'clock, fem.. to witness experiments with rockets, the invention of Mr. Hal, and cor•cuseion fusees for ex ploding shells, invented by Sergeant-Major Freeburn, of the Royal Artillery. The rockets submitted to the members of the Select Committee on this occasion were 12-pounders, and the practice commenced by firing them from Lieutenant Boxer's tube, at 1,200 yards' range. The first rocket fired went over the mound et the extreme end of the range, and at an apparently considerable elevation, nearly in a line with the target. The tube was then lowered, and the second rocket fired fell about twenty yards westward of the bulk head or target. The third rocket, without any apparent change in the elevation, went over the mound at nearly an equal apparent elevation in its flight to the first. The fourth rocket fell considerably short, the inventor himself admitting- that it struck the ground about 400 yards short of the 1,200 yards' range ; it then rebounded, and went nearly the entire distance. The fifth rocket fell at an apparent dis tance of about 30 yards short, and the sixth rocket on emer ging from the tube proceeded at a considerable angle to the westward, going over the tops of a belt of trees adjoining the lock. gates of the entrance from the Marshes, and striking the ground at 152 paces from the lockgate. In consequence of the dan ger to b e apprehended from the flight of tnerockets, should any of the others proceed in a similar disetation, several persons being employed at work on the arsenal side of the lock-gates, Colonel Cockburn, the senior officer of the selectcommittee present, would not permit any more to be fired. Mr. Hale was very anxious that he should have been allowed to fire more of his rockets, having come to the Marshes prepared with 24, but Colonel Cockburn was decisive in opposing any further experiments with them, and the other officers of the select committee present con curred, as they would not hold themselves responsible for the danger. The rocket practice was therefore discontinued, and preparations made for trying experiments with Sergeant-Major Freeburres fusees. A detachment of the Royal Artillery, under the charge of Lieutenant Vernon. had charge of the range, and the two 32-pounders and one 68-pounder guns were under the dirt ction of Lieutenant-Colonel Chalmer. The first shell from No. 1 gun grazed the ground a short distance before it reached the entire length of the range, 800 yards, and did not explode. The second a GB-pounder shell, struck the target and exploded with excel lent effect. The third, a 32-pounder shell, struck the target or bulk. head, and scattered the splinters on exploding be twixt the timbers in all directions. The fourth, fifth, and sixth shells fired were all good, bursting instantaneously on striking with tremendous effect. The seventh, eighth, and ninth were excellent, and equally effective as the three pre vious, and the ninth striking near the top of the bulk-head, raised the upper piece of massive timber nearly a foot out of its original position, tearing the solid timber and bolts into fragments. The tenth, eleventh, and twelfth were good, especially the' tenth and eleventh, the twelfth appearing to burn out its powder without bursting the shell. The thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth shells burst better than any we have ever witnessed, the fourteenth, a 68- pounder, actually setting the timber of the bulk-head on fire The sixteenth shell did not strike the bulk-head, having passed about two feet to the eastward of it, and entered the mound. The seventeenth and eighteenth burst on striking the bulkhead with powerful effect. Out of the eighteen shells fired, fifteen burst in as perfecta manner as could have been wished.

ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INS TITUTION.—On Tuesday Don Jose de Ciebra introduced, at the Royal Polytechni c Institution, alecture on the music of Spain, illustrated by him. self on the guitar. The guitar is an instrument not ge nerally understood, and consequently not properly appre ciated, but the enthusia,tie manner in which the lecture was received proves that there is much to be done with that in strument in such hands as Senor Ciebra's. His lecture was read by Senor Luigi, whose entertainment, some time since, delighted the audience at the Scientific Institution in Ed ward-street, Portman-square. The subject was the history of Spanish music from the earliest period to the present time. This course of lectures will, no doubt, prove attractive to the public, and at the same time diffuse a taste for this elegant instrument. In conclusion, we mention those airs which appeared to please most :—" Los toros del Puerto," "El cone tea bandista," a duet from Robert le Diable, by Don Jos de Ciebra and Don R. de Ciebra, and a solo by Don Jose et.i Ciebra, from the English air of " We have lived and loved to• gether," was received by the numerous audience by thunders of applause. THE GLASS _DUTIES. It was decided some time since, on an application of an ex tensive importer of lunette and of her glasses used by the watch trade for covering the faces of watches, by the Cus•• toms' authorities, that these glasses were not be deemed flint cut glass, according to the express terms of the Act of last session, containing the repeal of some, and alteration and reduction of others, of the Customs' duties, and therefore liable to the duty of Bd. per lb., but were to be admitted under the head of" wine glasses, tumblers, and all other white flint glass goods, not cut, engraved, or otherwise ornamented," at the lower rate of 4d. per lb On a subsequent application of some other parties for the Act to be similarly construed in re spect to glasses or discs imported for the purpose of being used as glass. s for telescopes, opera-glasses, and various otlisr optical instruments, on the ground that they were of a similar character to the watch glasses alluded to, and were therefore fully and justly entitled to be admitted at the same rate of duty, viz., 4d. per lb., it was decided after a considerable amount of deliberation on the natter, and after the opinion ofan eminent metropolitan manufacturer of glass ware bad been requested and received on the subject, that they must be considered " flint cut glass " within the meaning of the Act, and must therefore be in fiiture charged with the higher rate of Bd. per lb. Since this decision on the latter description of glasses, considerable difference of opinion, it appears, has existed, even among the revenue officers themselves, as to whether it was intended by this latter order that watch-glasses should be charged with the higher rate, in contradiction to the pre vious order made in their regard, or whether they were to pay the lower rate, in contrattistinction to the glasses for telescopes and optical instruments generally, the intention of the Board being differently construed by the officers—some leaning to the former, and others to the latter opinion. In this state of uncertainty a quantity of watch-glasses, recently imported, were a few days ego detained by some of the revenue officers for the higher rate, not so much for the pur pose of messing that rate of duty, as that the question might be sat.sfactorily settled, in order to guide both the importers and the officers in respect to future importations of the article. The misty has since made a representation to the Board on the matter, setting forth the facts of the case, a , d urging that these watch-glasses are not cut within the meaning of the Act, which implies that glass, to he liable to the high rate of Bd., must be cut, as the term is understood by the glass-trade generally, that is, cut for ornament, in various shapes or forms, which greatly enhances its value, and not, as in the case of these articles, when it is simply moulded and cut round the edges, with a machine or otherwise; in order to make it actually fit for its intended purpose; and it has been decided, after a full consideration of the matter, that these watch-glasses are equally liable v ith the other description of glasses used for. optical instruments, and are to be charged in future also with the higher rate. The Act directs that all flint cut glass, flint coloured glass, and fancy ornamental glass rTwhatever kind, shall be chargeable with the duty of Bd. per lb. It is considered, therefi re, that it &es not follow that glass must he flint cdoured, or fancy ornamental glass, to be chargeable with that duty so long as it be flint and cut glass, each distinctive article being equally chargeable, and that, therefore, watch-glasses, being flint cut glass, are sub ject to that rate of duty, and further, that this duty of Bd. per lb. cannot be legally considered to be confined to glass cut for ornament only, but that the proper construction of the law is, that cut glass, whether for ornament or otherwise, is liable to the high duty, and that glass simply blown, only, is admissible at the low duty. This decision is of much im portance to the glass trade; and watch-glasses will, from the present time, equally with optical glasses generally, be charged on importation with the rated duty, as flint cut glass, of Bd. per lb. - - CHARGE of INCENDIARISM.—At Chelmsford Petty Sessions on Tuesday, Charles Murrells, labourer, was brought up for final examination, on the charge of having wilfully caused the tire which occurred on the 13th ult. at Old Park Farm, Great Witham, in the occupation of Mr. Isaac Livermore. The evidence in this case was extremely volu minous, but the facts may be gathered from the following abstract :—The fire occurred a few minutes after one o'clock, A.M., and was first discovered by Edward Lake, the bailiff, who lodged in the house. On the firs' alarm being given, Mr. Livermore mounted a horse and proceeded to Duemow for the engine belonging to that parish. On his return, nearly the whole of the farm premises, with a large quantity of grain, hod been reduced to ashes. He saw the prisoner near the pond, and, observing him to be in a state of per spiration, remarked that he appeared very hot, to which the prisoner rejoined that he had been running. Mr. Liver more's reasons for suspecting the prisoner arose' from a threat which he used when discharged from his service for some misconduct. The prisoner upon that occasion re• marked, that it was all very well, but it should not end there, and that he would make him remember it. The pri soner, it was stated, lived at North End, about a mile from the farm, through the yard of which there is a thorough fare from Pleshey to North End. Police-constable Peck, who was at the premises a shoat time after the fire broke out, stated that the prisoner came into the yard in about an hour after. Witness had not seen him there before. About two months previously witness was sent fir to turn the prisoner off Mr. Livermore's premises. when he said, "Never mind; I'm —if I don't tix you. This shan't end here. I'll cer tainly make you remember this." Another threat made use of by the prisoner was proved by V illiam Bell, who stated that in a conversation with the prisoner during the harvest the latter said that he might have gone back to Mr. Livet more's again, but that there would hello work there iu the winter, because the corn would soon be out. John Witney stated that he saw the pris tier at the Butchers' Arms beer shop about ten days after the fire, •He asked ithesi is by the people suspected him, when witness told him the easo , . was because he had threatened Mr. Livermore; on is hich prisoner ',replied that he had threatened to burn him up, but did not mean it. Other witnesses were examined to show that the prisoner left Pleshy about a quarter to 12 o'clock en the night of the fire. He was then about three miles distant from his house. The prisoner's defence was merely the general denial of the charg.. The Bench decided upon com mitting him for trial at the next assizes. Lord Brougham ha , arrived in (7/ rafton- street from Brougham Hall, where his Lords Lip has been entertaining a succession of visitors.
