On Thursday evening a meeting of the rate-payers of Wandsworth was held in the vestry room of the parish church, to dispm - ,e of various perochial matters, hut more es pecially to receive communications from the Croydon and Epsom Railway Company, in reference to the amount - offered to be paid to the parish for the purchase of a parcel of land requited by them belonging to the Carskilton estate. • The land in question forms -; poriieei of an estate pur chased long since by the parish, out ef money left by an individual known as " Beggar Smith." This eccentric cha racter begged his way to London through the county of Surrey, and in most towns, including Wandsworth, he was relieved. In Croydon and Kingston he was whipped out. He ultimately became an alderman of the City of London, and, to perpetually Mark his sense of the favours he had re ceived in the early part of his life, he left, at his decease, in 1627, a sum of money, to be applied in various ways, to those parishes that had relieved him, mid an anAual present of a whip tolhe overseers or churchwardens for the time being of Croydon and Kingston. The minutes of the last vestry having been read and con , firmed, in which it was stated that the Richmond Railway Company had undertaken to giv;t the parish 200/. for their interest in a tract of osier-ground across which this railway i peso, Mr. R. W. BauenanD, the senior warden and chairman, stated that the churchwardens and overseers had lately re ceived a notice from the Croydon and Epsom Railway Com pany to the effect that they required a piece of ground at Carshalton which belonged to the parish, and were wiLing to give 2 01. for the same. He and several of the parish-officers had made it their business to inspect the land alluded to. which was the corner of a common field in the occupation of Mr. Bates; and as it consisted of only twenty perches they considered that by accepting 20/.,'which was selling it at the rate of 1601. per acre, they were obtaining a very fair price for their property, but there was an obstacle in the way. which N yould be explained by the vestry clerk reading the letter he had received from the Company. Mr. Upcher, the vestry cleek, then read the fillowing communication : "47, Parliament-street, Oct. 19, 1815. "'rho Croydon and Epsom, and the overseers of the parish of Wandsworth.—Referring to the notice from the secretary of the Croydon and Epsom . Railway Company, served upon you as vestry - clerk of the parish of Wandsworth, to treat for the purchase of twenty perches of arable common land, situated in the parish of. Carshalton, in the occupation of Mr. W. Bates, and to which notice the Company have re ceived no reply, we beg, on behalf of the Company, to offer you the sum of 201—for the said piece of land, such sum to ilclude the tenant's interest, if any. We shall be glad to hear from you at your earliest convenience. " We are, Sir, your obedient servants, "BURCHELD, GILGOUR, and PARSONS. "Mr. Upcher, Vestry-clerk, Wandsworth." The 05'ERsEEtt said that, in answer to the letter, they (the churchwarkleus) had directed their clerk to state that there was no objection to accepting the 201. for the land, but they would not undortake to satisfy the lessee's claims. To this communication they had received no reply. It was now for the meeting to determine what steps should be adopted in the matter, or whether the rate-payers, as a body, would dele gate the power of arranging the matters to the parochial officers. Mr. Pmeurs thought there could be no objection to sell the land at 20/., and the company must settle with the tenant, but it would be necessary that the parish should watch the company, for railway companies were in the habit of diverg ing, and they might occupy more land than originally con templated. In that case he trusted so small a sum as 20/. would not be considered an equivalent. The CHAIRMAN - observed that his brother warden, Mr. Nicholson, and himself, would see that the parish were no Pray, Sir, have the goodness to observe how the Artful Dodger's Sugar Duties' measure has worked. You and most of your readers will remember that at the time this-question was under discussion in the House of Commons, so plausibly did the Premier enact his part, they were led to believe that he was actually. levelling a deadly blow at the West Indian monopoly—that he was positively taking a step in the right direction to extinguish a baneful system, which had, for ages past, robbed the sugar consumers of many millions of money. Not a bit of it; for whatever the community might then think, he (the schemer) know his game too well to injure a single hair of the head of that horrid monster—monopoly ; he felt that some kind of change was necessary, because the heavy amount of duty on sugar limited the consumptiorsof it, that the public, by abstaining from the use of sugar, on account of the extravagance of the duty-paid price, rendered the amount of revenue collected upon it both uncertain and limited. In this dilemma, thinks he to himself, I must con thine a plan which shall have the appearance of an approach to free trade, in order to lull the vigilance of the Liberals, but which in effect shall yield a revenue, whether the sugar be consumed or not, and which shall enrich my pets, the West Indians, into the bargain. With these ends in view he organises the income-tax, and by the aid of its operations thrusts his hand into our pockets, and obtains our cash, leaving us to eat the sugar or not, as best suits us; he next reduces the duty on British sugars eleven shillings per cwt., making at the same time a hocus pocus fuss about discriminating duties, trusting, in the confusion, to slip, unobserved, a differential duty on East India sugar, upon the plea that that class of sugar was superior in whiteness to Wrest India muscovado, and that, on a hint to subservient customs' officers, they would declare it liable to the higher rate of duty ; by these means he would have upset, if he could, a formal decision of the House of Commons, namely, that the rate of duty on East and West India sugar should be assimilated. In this cunning attempt he was, however, foiled by Mr. Hogg, who perceived the drift of the wily Premier's scheine, and threatened to oppose the inquity and expose the trick ; but his anger was appeased by such a wording of the clause enacting the discriminating duty, as would render its operation, as far as East India sugar was concerned, null and void. In the course of the debate on these sugar duties, the curious fact came out upon undeniable documentary evi dence, that sugar had been, and would be, produced in the West Indies, by free labour, at something less than 9s. per cwt.., and that a prize had actually been conferred upon the producer for his skill ; and yet Sir Robert Peel, in the face of this evidence, determined to protect these sugars by a dif ferential duty of 10s. per cwt.—tantamount to making this nation pay for the cultivation of the 'cane and the labour of converting its juice into sugar, and then permitting the colonists to sell it in a close market to those who had already paid for the manufacture of it. Oh, but, argued the Premier, by so doing we shall throw over the colonial monopoly, for we will permit foreign sugar to compete with British colo nial in our home markets ; therefore, upon a duty of 235. 4d. per cwt. on muscovado, and 28s. per cwt. on qualities supe rior to muscovado (the two duties conjointly forming a pro tection of 10s. per cwt.) free labour foreign sugar shall be ad mitted into this kingdom. For fear thisresolution'should open he door too widely, it was determined—first, that this foreign sugar should be certificated by properly authorised persons as the result of free labour, and which persons had to be appointed here, and sent to their respective destinations; and, secondly, the clause enacting a discriminating duty was artfully contrived to apply to these sorts of sugar. It can, therefore, be no matter of surprise to Sir Robert Peel that the British sugar markets should be in the state they are. The Gazette average price of sugar, given on the 21st of November, 1845, compared against that given in the cor responding week of 1844, will abundantly testify whether the consumers or the producers reap the benefit of the reduc tion in the duty on sugar :—The Gazette of 21st of Novem ber, 1845, quotes the average price of British muscovado sugars to be 38s. ld. per cwt., and for the corresponding week of 1844, 31s. 0-id. per cwt. This sugar duties' question displays the bias the Right Hon. Gentleman has for monopoly. It is no wonder. conse quently, that he does not at the present moment interfere with the corn-laws, by opening the ports for the admission of all kinds of grain; we ought to feel no disappointment at his conduct—it is just what might have been expected of him.

It was then unanimously agreed that the mat ,er should be left in the hands of the afore-mentioned gentlemen, lout in no case would the parish undertake to include in that settlement the satisfying the tenant. PROGRESS OF THE NEW RAILWAYS. We have received the following particulars relative to the progress and construction of several new lines of railway (the Acts for the formation of which received, the royal assent during the late Parliamentary sessions) from the en gineering officials of the different companies : EASTERN UNION RAILWAY. —The progress of this line has been extended with such rapidity, that there is little doubt but the whole will be completed for public traffic early in the ensuing spring. It commences in a line with th e Colchester Extension and Eastern Counties Railway, at Ardleigh, and proceeding thence towards Ipswich , p asses over table land at Manningtree-valley, Dedham, Lawford, over the river Stour, which divided the counties of Essex and Sussex ; it then extends through the parishes of Bran sham, Bentley, Belstead, Wherstead, Ipswich, onwards to the terminus and junction with the Bury St. Edmunds and Norwich line. The engineer, in his late report to the Di rectors, gave a summary of the work completed as follows : " The total quantity of earthwork removed exceeded seven hundred thousand cubic yards, being two-thirds of the whole quantiv.required to complete a double road, or seven-eighths of the quantity which would have been required to complete the single raad (as was the original intention of the Com pany). Thirty culverts and bridges have been built, six miles of permacent road have been laid out, and thirty miles of double fencing set up." Since that was made a greater part of the latter-mentioned mileage had been actually formed. The long timber viadacts over the tidal waters of the Stour River are almost completed—the foundations have proved satisfactory. There are several heavy cuttings and embank ments, but most of them have been mastered. The largest of both are through the parish of Bransham, the others are near Ardleigh, Manningtree Denhant, Lawford, and Bourn brook-marshes. Upwards Of 1,000 men and 200 horses are employed on the works. Mr. Locke's Parliamentary estimates for the single line (as originally intended), including stations and sidings, but exclusive of land, was under 9,000/. per mile. The line is now being completed as a double line for something less than 12,0001. per mile. The Company's capi tal was 300,000/. The Colchester Extension Railway, which will unite the Eastern Counties with the Eastern Union, is also in a forward state of completion. PRESTON AND WYRE BRANCH RAILWAYS.—The works for the formation of these branch lines, namely, the Lytham and the Blackpool Railways, the former four miles and six furlongs in length, and.the other somewhat less, are all but completed. The Lytham line is finished. There is no work of any magnitude on it, excepting in the construction of the bridges, five in number—three constructed of wood, one of stone, and the other of bricks. The quantity rif earth ex cavated was about 100,000 cubic yards. Mr. Bidder is the engineer. STRATFORD AND THAMES JUNCTION RAILWAY.—This line, which will be opened in the course of a short time, will form an important communication between Blackwall and the Eastern Counties Railways to Cambridge and Colchester, as well as other distant parts, Ely, Norwich, and Yarmouth, and also Ipswich, Bury St. Edmunds, and Harwich. It verges off the Eastern Counties Colchester line, near the station at Stratford, where it passes through several' meadows to the edge of Bow-creek, which has been damned in along the banks to a considerable length, to prevent the water breaking in on to the line. Its course after leaving that point is down an incline through high-street, Stratford, between the Bell Inn and the turnpike-gate. The line passes under the main road at a depth of about twenty feet, and an iron bridge of a novel construction is in the course of erection over it. It is a corrugated bridge, supported in the centre by nine iron columns, and was manufactured by Messrs. Grissell and Co. The crown is divided into sixty-four plates, each of which has been tested to support an enormous weight. The entire length is between sixty and seventy feet, and its width is about thirty feet. Already one-half of the bridge is built, and labourers are now employed covering it over with concrete, preparatory to its being thrown open. The railway front the bridge shapes a course to the south of Strafford, passing over a number of meadows adjacent to Messrs. Tucker's printing factory, and in a direct line through West Ham, across the main road onwards to Plaistow marshes. At West Ham it passes through a portion of the Adam and Eve tea-gardens, and also over the spot where formerly stood West Ham Abbey. Portions of the old walls, the only remains of the abbey, have been pulled down to make way for the line, and in the excavations for that pur pose several relicts of interest were dug up, and have been preserved. From West Ham over Plaistow-marshes an em bankment of a few feet has been raised, and on approaching the Barking-road, it is the intention of the engineer, Mr. Phelps, of the Eastern Counties, to carry a bridge up, similar to the one at Stratford, to admit the line running under it, The line then takes a circuitous route along the banks of Bow-creek, to the river side, adjacent to the Trinity Hbuse, where it terminates. Here the company are driving piles along the river side for some 200 yards, where it is the inten tion of making a spacious wharf; so that vessels can come alongside and unload their cargoes into the luggage trains for Hertfordshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, and Essex. With the ex ception of the bridges, and that portion between Barking road and the river, one line of rails are complete, and ballast waggons are running to and fro. The other line of rails are progressing fast. LANCASTER AND CARLISLE RAILWAY. --All immense num ber of workmen are employed on the works connected with this undertaking. The embankments and cuttings are very heavy,' and the process of blasting large quantities of stone that obstruct various parts of the line still continue with per fct safety. The lengthened embankment near Carlisle is completed, and the viaducts at Gatthie are nearly formed. The capital for the formation of the line is 800,000/. BRIGHTON . AND CHICHESTER RAILWAY.—This line, which is upwards of twenty-two miles in length (now amalgamated with the London and Brighton), is in such a state of forward ness that the portion from Shoreham to Worthing (a dis tance of five miles) will be opened for the conveyance of passengers on Monday next. It has been inspected by Ma jor Pasley, the Government inspector of railways, and ap proved of. The Company's capital is 320,000/. OXFORD AND RUGBY RAILWAY.—About a quarter of this line, which, when completed, will be fifty miles and a half in length, has been staked out, and excavators are at work thereon. The Lancaster Deviation, the Ashton Branch lines, the Sheffield and Manchester, and several others, are advanced considerably. York and North Midland, Whitby and Pickering Ex tension.

THE QUEEN OF DENMARK (SISTER OF GEORGE III.), AN HISTORICAL NOVEL, EDITED BY Mits. GORE.— Considerable interest has been excited by the announcement of the above tale of royal life, edited by the most popular of our female novelists. 'We understand that the work pos sesses startling claims to public attention, not only as a well told and interesting story, but as a most curious and cre dible narrative of historical events of the highest interest, and a faithful picture of the manners of the Court of Chris. tian VII. So truthful are said to be the style and senti ments, that instead of feeling ourselves to be perusing a novel, or even a romantic series of historical memoirs, we could fancy "The Queen of Denmark" to be the very jour nal of some observant courtier—circumstantial as Dangeau, and artless as Pepys. Mr. Terrail, the well-known alto singer, died on Thursday morning, aged sixty-one. Mr. Terrail was en gaged for many years at the Ancient Concerts. He be longed to the Catch Club, the Glee Club, and the Melodists, and was highly esteemed by his professional brethren. Of late years he had grown remarkably stout, so much so. that the conductors of the omnibuses, when they saw him hailing them, would cry out to the driver " All right." Mr. Ter rail was a clerk in the Excise-office for upwards of thirty years. We regret to learn that accounts have been received in town, announcing the . serious indi s p os iti on o f L a dy Ra vensworth, whose state is such as to preclude all hope of re covery. Her Ladyship's health has been gradually im paired by age, but on Saturday last a decided change for the worse became apparent, and since then she has been gradu ally sinking under the accumulated weight of years and bodily infirmities. CATCHING A THIEF WITH A RAT-TRAP.—FOr some time past Mr. Smitherson, residing in Cannon-street, has been missing bottles of wine from his cellar, the whole being taken from the bin nearest the door. Upon examining clOsely he found that some of the bricks in the wall had been loosened, anti upon being taken out an aperture sufficiently large to admit a hand and arm was apparent. Mr. Smither son, accordingly, set a rat-trap on the inside of the hole on Wednesday evening. Upon going yesterday morning he found the bricks had been removed, and - the trap sprung, in. the teeth of which he found some human skin, and a por tion of a finger nail, the stealer of the wine suffering that , agony rather than detection. OMB rou DRUNEINNESS.—On Wednesday night a man and his wife, in the last stage of drnukenners, were proceeding along Gower-street, when the former fell into the opening made in repairing the sewerage, which is at least forty feet deep. The general opinion was that the unfortu nate man was killed, a fate he could not have escaped, had he fallen across the wooden struts, but upon assistance being procured, he was found at the bottom, uninjured, and crying out, " All's right." On being brought to the bank he was quite sober. His wife was so terrified by her husband's perilous situation, while he was in the sewer, that it was with the greatest difficulty she was prevented from throwing her self in after him. MAPPING THE RAILWAY LINES.—We beg to remind solicitors and engineers, that according to the standing orders, the whole of each proposed line must be laid down on a published map of not less than half an inch to a mile, and deposited with the Board of Trade, with the Books of Re ference, &c., by the 30th of November. How this will operate in Scotland and the North of England, remains to be seen. The Ordnance maps are on a scale of one inch to the mile. In Ireland, the maps of which are nearly complete, the scale is six inches to the mile. A portion of the Ordnance map is now being executed (though not yet engraved) for the North of England, on this extensive scale. Yorkshire is not yet engraved. The rest of the Ordnance survey, south of Lancashire and Yorkshire, is completed, but on a scale of an inch to the mile. Cary's map, which is oulhalf-an-inch to the mile, and which includes the whole of England and Wales, and that part of Scotland inclusive, and south of Edinburgh and Glasgow, is on the exact scale required. But for the whole of Scotland north of these two cities, there is not any general published map of the country larger than five miles to the inch (Arrowsmith's), and that is not sufficiently exact for the required purpose.—ltailway ,Express. ALLEGED PIRACY. The following is an interesting extract of a letter from Lieutenant W. A. J. Heath (son of the Governor of the Bank of England), her Majesty's steamer Hyacinth, dated St. John's, Newfoundland, Nov. 9, 1845 : " We sailed from the Humber immediately for St. George Bed-, where we arrived at the beginning of October—Our at tention was suddenly called by a merchant brig, apparently a wreck, with her masts cut away, and aground close to the beach. Captain Scott having an appointment as magis trate, made an inquiry as to her being there in that state, and two men took an oath before him that they had been bribed to run the vessel on shore—of course with a view to defraud the underwriters. We then held 'a survey on the vessel, and found a hole bored right through her bottom ; and there was not the slightest doubt but that it was done purposely. Captain Scott immediately sent me with a party of armed men to arrest the bodies of the captain and mate of the vessel, a merchant who had offered the bribe, and two other men who were connected with them. I found them all in a few minutes, and ,brought them off. You may imagine their astonishment when they were told they were prisoners, under a charge ,of felony, to be conveyed to St. John's for trial. The next job was to put the brig to rights. We hauled her off shore, and got her alongside of us, jury. rigged her with our own spars, and put her cargo into her, consisting of nine hundred barrels of flour, and nearly a hundred of pearlash ; besides which she had a great quantity of wheat in bulk. I was then put in charge of her, with a mid, master's assistant, and six men ; but she was such a beast in the way of sailing, that we were about ten days waiting for a fair wind to take us out of the Bay of St. George, which is about fifty-six miles. We did, at a third attempt, get out at 1 A.M. October 21, with a slashing N.E. wind, and about six inches of snow on the deck. We continued our way, with a nice breeze and fine weather, till October 28, when it fell calm, until a light breeze sprung up from the N.E., which increased in a short time to one of the most famous gales I ever witnessed. I bad very luckily taken the sail off her in time, and laid her under a close-reefed main-trysail, in which way we remained until about 11 P.M., when a sea struck us fore and aft, carrying away the caboose and coppers, washed the long-boat and booms to leeward, and tore away the stern-boat and davits. We laid till daylight under bare poles, when it moderated a little. I then made sail again, and the next morning was most glad to sight Cape Race, about thirty miles from St. John's, which place we were off the same night, and got into the inner harbour the next day, to the great delight of every one, but particularly Captain Scott, who had great fears of our being lost. The people on shore said that they had not bad such a violent gale for some years. After losing our coppers, we had no means of cooking, and had,. consequently, to live on raw salt perk until we arrived. I could not do it myself, but managed to support nature on biscuit and rum, but from anxiety, want of rest, and being con stantly wet, I was in such a nervous state when we arrived that I was obliged to take a room on shore with a big feather bed and a fire, which brought me round in a very few days. I calculated since, that after leaving St: George's Bay to our arrival at St. John's, I had not slept fifteen hours in all, which was eight days. The brig was called the Rosanna, of Newcastle, 145 tons. The prisoners have had several exami nations. and have been committed for trial on a charge of felony. The master and myself were ordered up to the court-house yesterday, and had to sign recognizances of forty pounds each to appear as evidence at the trial, which will not come on until the middle of next month ; so if Captain Scott cannot get us off, we shall have to be left behind, as the ship must sail in a few days for Halifax and the West Indies." A NEW OREGON CLAIMANT.—It appears that the Emperor of Russia is in the field as a claimant for the dis puted Oregon territory. He maintains that his possessions descend to 54 degrees 40 minutes. We cannot learn the ground of his Imperial Majesty's claim, but the following official document has been issued:—" Department of State, Washington, September 26.—The Russian Minister at Wash ington has informed the Secretary of State that the Imperial Government, desirous of afferding efficient protection of the Russian teratories in North America against the infractions of foreign vessels, has authorised cruisers to be established for this purpose along the coast by the Russian American Com pany. It is therefore recommended to American vessels to be careful not to frequent the interior seas, gulfs, harbours, and oreeks upon that coast at any point north of the latitude of 64 degrees 40 minutes."—Toronto (lie. The mortal remains of the late Right Hon. William Dandle, Lord Clerk Register of Scotland, were in terred yesterday in. a vault at the upper burial-ground, St. Leonard's-on-Sea. ADJUDICATIONS ON FRENCH RAILWAYS —Three important adjudications will speedily take place. That on the Tours and Nantes Railway, on the 25th cost."; and those on the Lyons line, and the Creil and St. Quentin line on the 20th of next month. ' The delay has been considerable. No good reason has been mentioned why these lines should not have been adjudicated long ago. The French system is very different from our want of system. There, the Government fixes the course of the line, and allows that Company to make it which tenders an offer to surrender it to the Governmeat at the earliest period. As in this country, a certain amount of capital must be paid up before any Company can be ad mitted to compete for the lease. Whenever the adjudication is made, the unsuccessful competitors are bound to return to subscribers or shareholders the full amount (sometimes with a very small deduction for expenses) which they have respectively advanced. It is this which, at the present crisis, is of very considerable importance. A vast amount of the capital subscribed for railways in France is English capital. The withdrawal from our circulation has contri buted, no doubt, to that " tightness in the market" (in other words ' scarcity of money) which is now very seriously felt. The adjudications which we announce to-day will release and return a good portion of the money so locked un, and must thus contribute to restore "the elasticity of the market." From the first, we have been averse to the employment and investment of British capital in foreign railways. Home projects, we think, will afford as ample returns, with the ad vantage of greater security. Let a war arise, and what security will the British capitalist possess? We firmly believe that, if a war broke out, all English capital in French lines would be confiscated. These are points which must be looked at and into. Fact is fact, and the security of British investments in France appears to us very doubtful.—Railway Express. The Brussels journals of Saturday state, that al though the markets in Belgium have, in general, been well supplied during the last week, the prices of provisions of every kind are on the increase. DISCOVERY OF AN ILLICIT STILL AT BRIGHTON.— On Wednesday an elderly man, named George Bignall, was examined before Major Willard, the sitting magistrate of the day, on a charge of being concerned in illicit distillation. The charge was preferred by Lieut. Pratt, of the coast-guard, and Mr. Newton, the supervisor of excise. According to the evidence, Lieut. Pratt and several of the coast guardsmen proceeded on Tuesday to a house in Gorringe's• court, North • lane, where they found a still of about 40 gallons at work, the prisoner attending it. A bucket was placed beneath the worm to receive the droppings of the still, which on being tasted proved to be a weak kind of spirit. A nine-gallon cask stood near, containing four or five gallons of the same kind of liquid. On the premises were found four large casks, one sunk in the ground, and all full of wash, some in a state of fermentation, the quantity being nearly 300 gallons. The liquid found in the bucket and small cask was handed over to the supervisor, who, on testing it, found it to be a spirit, 70.6 under proof, which was called, in the technical language of the Excise, " low wines." It was explained to be the pro duct of the first distillation, and which was liable to duty, but not chargeable till the completion of the distillation. The windows of the house were boarded up, and a screen was placed inside the door, so that nothing was visible outside. The statement of the prisoner was, that the liquid was used only in the process of "bone bleaching ;" and an attempt was made to show this in defence, Mr. Bennett, solicitor, being engaged for this purpose. After a lengthened investigation, however, Major Willard considered the case to be proved under the 7th and Bth George IV., c. 53, s. 33, which inflicts a penalty of 30/. on any person found in a private or unen tered room, manufacturing articles liable to excise duty. The prisoner was consequently fined in that amount; and not being able to pay, was committed to the House of Correction to hard labour for three months The Oregon is the name given to a steam-boat re cently launched at New York, which is ten feet longer than the Great Britain. She is about to be placed on the New York and Providence station. MORE SECESSIONS.—The Rev. Frederick William Faber, M.A., late Fellow of University College, and Rector of Elton, Huntingdonshire, joined the Roman communion, together with eight others (names unknown), at Northamp ton, on Thursday se'nnight. Mr. Faber, who is the author of poems dedicated to Lord John Manners, was presented to Elton in 1843, at which time his Romanising views were matter of notoriety. It is stated that he is about to resign Elton, and to be confirmed as a member of the Romish Church shortly. Mr. Faber obtained a second class at Oxford in 1836, in which same year he also obtained the Newdigate prize poem on " The Knights of St. John," in the following year was elected Johnson theological scholar, the Rev. J. H. Newman being, we believe, one, of his examiners. We have excellent reason for knowing that the Romanists consider the secession of Mr. Faber from the Church of England as next in importance to that of Mr. Newman. Of Messrs. Oakeley and W and they make very light account; as well they may. Both the conduct and writings of the latter gentlemen have materially lowered them in the estimation of their Popish friends. It is a Miltonian-Satanic maxim, that it is better "to rule in hell than serve in Heavea"—such, we are told, was the guiding sentiment of the prince of apostates. Some of his followers, however, instead of exchanging humble usefulness for bad eminence, find themselves as having abandoned a righteous service for a cruel slavery; and, of course, without enjoying either the sympathy of their victims or their tyrants. However this may be, the secessions continue, and it is freely rumoured that, in addition to those already known, many members of Colleges have gone over, whose names it is not thought proper to communicate yet to the public.— Church and State Gazette. OxroßD TO ROME, DIRECT.—We have heard a strange story from Qxford, to the effect that the Rev. R. Coffin, vicar of St. Mary Magdalene, in that city, whose in tention to resign his preferments was announced in last week's Church and State Gazette, was, previously to his quitting the University, in constant attendance on a poor fe male, named England, the wife - of a printer there; and that the Rev. Mr. Newsham, the Romish priest, at whose chapel hfr. Newman is a communicant, has become her spiri tual adviser. This case, we are inform ed, has c r e a tedo a general mistrust of the Tractarian clergy;vewh vet sho - uld remain among the inhabitants of Oxford. be agreeably surprised if the report we h ave above noticed were to prove unfounded. But we entertain strong fea rs, on the contrary, that it is not" only well-foun ed but that it might be matched by other cases, similar in spirit and in detail. If, hoWever, but one such case can it a b n e .d sub stantiated,the surely the autho r ities in the University Church will be aroused to the conviction that it is time to interfere, and check the evil, by punishing tbe evil doers. When we contemplate the apathy which exists in quarters where the most jealous enthusiasm ought to prevail —and when we behold treachery daily practised without the slightest censure being levelled at the traitors—we are in diced to imagine that they whose designation in the Church intimates that they are "overseers," fancy that they are en joined, by their official appellation, not to hOld high watch for the interests of that Church, but to overlook all that is done in the way of injuring her efficiency.—Church and State Gazette. QUESTION OF RESPONSIBILITY.—Dr. Forbes Wins low in his " Plea of Insanity in Criminal Cases," relates the following interesting case :—Bernard Schedmazig suddenly awoke at midnight ; at the moment he saw a frightful phantom, or what his imagination had repreaented as a fear ful spectre. He twice ca ll e d ou t " Wh o i s th a t ?" and re ceiving no answer, and imagining that the phantom was advancing upon him, and having altogether lost his self-pos session, he raised a hatchet which was beside - him, and at tacked the spectre. Immediately afterwards it was found that he had murdered his wife: POPERY IN TUE METROPOLITAN SEE.—We an nounce with the greatest regret, and upon authority which, though we cannot name, we consider indisputable, that one of the chaplains of the Bishop of London is on the point of being admitted into the .Romish Church I Surely such an event as this will make our too indulgent diocesan at length ' exclaim—" Non omnibus dormio I"—Church and State Gazette.

CHARGE of MURDER at LEDEUR On Friday last Thomas Davies, formerly a supervisor in the Excise, was charged before Richard Webb and James Martin, Esqs., Earl Somers and Captain Jones, four magis trates for the county of Hereford, with having feloniously killed one Elizabeth Johnson, at Liverpool, in the county of Lancaster, by striking and beating the said Elizabeth John son upon the head, back, and other parts of the body. The subject of this inquiry was the window or the late Mr. John Johnson, formerly the landlord of the Sun Inn, in the Butcher-row, in Ledbury. Mr. Johnson died in March, 1884, and his widow, nearly ever since her husband's decease, has been living with Davies, the accused. In 1844, Elizabeth Johnson was landlady of the Crown and Sceptre Inn, in New street, Ledbury, - where Davies and her three children—a girl by her husband, and two boys by Davies—were living with her. In the November of 1844, Davies and 'Mrs Johnson, with the three children, went to live in Birmingham, where they did not remain long, but removed from thence to Liverpool. In the early part of the last summer Mrs. John son died in the latter town, and Davies and the three chil dren returned to Ledbury, where Mrs. H. Meadows, a sister of deceased, kindly adopted the girl as her own, and Davies took lodgings for the boys. Davies, however, scon after wards left Ledbury in a clandestine manner, leaving the lads totally unprovided for, and they were compelled to go to the union-house. However, before they went there they made some strange disclosures about the manner in which their mother came by her death ; and their reports were con firmed by the testimony of the little girl at Malvern, adopted by Mrs. Meadows. The relatives of the deceased, however, although fully believing that she came to an untimely end, took no steps to ascertain the truth of the reports they had heard, till awakened from their lethargy by a paragraph de tailing the circumstances, which appeared in the Hereford Times of the Bth instant, headed " A case which requires investigation." On the Wednesday after this paragraph appeared, Mr. William New, strongly urged by the writer of the paragraph, applied to the-magistrates at petty sessions for advice, and the consequence was that the magistrates had the two boys from the union and examined them ; and also questioned Mrs. Caroline Russell, the youngest sister of deceased, concerning some conversation she had had with the little girl at Malvern. The magistrates determined on granting a warrant for the apprehension of Davies; and on Thursday he was captured by Superintendent Shaul; at Ross, , and brought to the lock up-house in Ledbury. On the following day, as we have before stated, he was taken before the magistrates named, when the examination of the children was publicly taken. They stated that on a Monday or Tuesday, previous to their coming from Liver pool (but they could not recollect the date of the occur rence), Davies and the deceased quarrelled, and that he beat her on thebead and back, and kicked her on the legs; they then proceeded to state that their mother slept with them that night, that on the morrow she was very sick and ill from the blows she had received, and that she continued to get worse and worse till the next Saturday, when she died. The children say , that their mother was much bruised about the breast and bead, and had two black eyes after .death, yet strange to say, though she had a medical attendant, no in quiry was instituted at Liverpool at the time of her death. The children further say, that the doctor who attended their mother sent women to lay her out, and paid for her coffin, though she had been resident in Liverpool but a few weeks. Indeed the case seems involved in mystery, which we hope will be cleared. Atter hearing the evidence of the children, the magistrates remanded the prisoner till Monday last, when he was again brought before Richard Webb, Esq., and Captain Jones ; and the former magistrate, addressing-the , risoner, told him the course the law pointed out for hem (the magistrates) to pursue, was to send him to Liverpool to be examined before the magistrates there, who would deal with the case as they thought fit. Superintendent Shead was ordered to convey the prisoner to Liverpool, and Mr. William New (a brother of deceased) was requested to take thither the three children as witnesses.— Worcester Journal. SUICIDE PROM WANT.—Yesterday forenoon, Mr. William Carter, the coroner for Surrey, held an inquest at the Royal Fort Tavern, Jamaica-level, Bermondsey, re specting the death of Thomas Pettitt, aged 84 ears, a journeyman feltmonger, lately residing at No. 1, Thomas's place, Upper Grange-road, who committed suicide under the melancholy circumstances subjoined :—Mr. John Slow, one of the relieving officers of St. Mary Magdalen, Bermondsey, deposed that he had known the deceased for several yearn. In April, 1840, deceased came under his notice as an insane person. An order was granted for his admission into the workhouse, whither he was conveyed, and remained in the lunatic ward for some time. His friends subsequently re moved him to Bethelem Hospital, in which asylum he stopped four months, when he was taken out by his relations. Deceased had been out of work for a length of time, and had been receiving out-door relief from the parish. Witness gave him relief on Monday last, at the workhouse, in Russell street. The deceased was then very dejected, and had a wife and five children dependent on him for their support. Wit ness believed that the family had been suffering great priva tion. George Pettitt, the brother of the deceased, stated ha called to see him on Monday afternoon last, between one and two o'clock. The wife opened the door, and said the deceased was very ill, and had gone to bed. Witness went to the room up stairs, and there discovered him suspended to the top of the bed-post by a strong cord. Witness cut him down, and found that his throat was cut in a frightful man ner. There was a razor lying on the floor covered with blood, which had also streamed over the bedding and floor. Witness ran for Mr. Sharpe, the surgeon, who came with promptitude, but life was extinct. Deceased had forced a packing-needle into his breast, and inflicted a frightful wound across the stomach, and he had made other incisions about various parts of his person. Witness was of opinion that deceased had inflicted the injuries with the razor after he had suspended himself. He was formerly in the service of Messrs. Cowderoy, of Long-lane, Bermondsey, but had been out of work for a long period, which seemed to prey very heavily on his mind. Other evidence having been ad duced, the Coroner remarked at considerable length on the distressing nature of the case, after which the jury returned a verdict of " Temporary insanity." After the inquiry, the jury and several gentlemen in the room raised a subscrip tion for the immediate relief of the destitute family, which was placed in the hands of Mr. John Slow, the summoning officer, who lost no time in handing the money over to the distressed widow, SPAFIELDS BURIAL-GROUND.-011 Thursday even ing the second meeting under the reference made by an order of the Court of Queens Bench to Mr. Bramwell, barrister, to ascertain in what manner the burial-ground in Spafields was in future to be condncted, was held at his chambers in the Tempe. Mr. Wakeling, the vestry-clerk of St. James, Clerkenwell, at whose instance the prosecution was insti tuted for an alleged nuisance, against the several defendants. attended, as also Mr. Lewis, of the firm of Lewis and Lewis, for the other side. The first meeting was held so long ago as August last, and the Learned Gentleman, who objected to the presence of reporters, promised to ascertain by the next meeting whether they might attend, again objected, until he had made inquiry on the subject. The solicitors raised no objection, but the referee thought it incumbent on him to be advised on the matter before he granted the application. He commenced hearing evidence, in order to arrive at the ques tion submitted to his consideration. It is expected that se veral further meetings will take place. THE CONDEMNED PIRATES.—NO official intima tion of the determination of the judges on the questions argued on Saturday has yet been received. We understand. however, on good authority, that the prisoners have been further respited for a fortnight, from Monday next, the 24th instant, when the present respite will expire.— Western Lu. COMPLETION OF THE IMPROVEMENTS IN HYDE PARK.—The workmen to the number of 200, that have bees employed by the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, making the numerous improvements throughout every pats of Hyde Park for upwards of four months, have completed their undertakings. There are now thirty-two long, broad, and excellent gravel-walks made, which communicate wits every gate throughout the Park. ENLARGEMENT OF THE GREEN PARK. — Yesterday the workmen completed the removing of the iron and wooden railings which inclosed the garden belonging to Earl Coven try, in the Green Park, fronting Coventry House, Piccadilly, the whole of which is now thrown open to the public, being an addition of three acres of land to the Green Park. The alter ations of widening Piccadilly are proceeding rapidly, and will be completed in about a fortnight. EXTRAORDINARY DEMAND FOR Q's.— It is stated that the demand by the printers for this little letter q is so. great, that the type-founders are doing nothing else but casting for it. So many esquires have found their way into print, that the printers have been thrown out of their calcu lations, and the supply is not adequate to the demand. SINGULAR MATCH. Yesterday a rat'ner novel match was decided, in the presence of a good number of sporting men, near Merton, Surrey. The terms of the match were, that a horse, produced by Mr. Lenard, would cover twelve miles of ground within one hour, in the following manner :—Trot five miles, gallop five miles, and walk two miles. The stakes were ten pounds a side. The horse com menced by trotting five miles, which was done in nineteen minutes; one mile was then walked in ten minutes; the horse was then galloped, and covered the five miles in eighteen minutes and a half. The horse had twelve and a half minutes to conclude the match, by walking one mile, which was done in eleven minutes; and the twelve miles were accomplished in fifty-eight minutes and a half, and the match won. SUICIDE AT EDMONTON —Yesterday morning, at seven o'clock, a man named John Joshua B. Stevens, re siding in Fore-street, Edmonton, who was living on a pension he had been in the receipt of for many years from the East India Company, was found dead in bed by his landlady, he having nearly severed his head from his body. The deceased. who was in his sixty-seventh year, would have been married which in a few days to a respectable widow , named Flack, with whom he stated it was his intention t o have lived at.a hones in nhietuhrae,d taken . was Fo yester day vto have been conveye d there. It is said he was in Cn purpose r e - r a e d e t, the lease purchased some of which fu furniture, ex pectation of a remittance from the East Indies, and that be had appeared in a desponding way in consequence of its non iv a il. A razor, the handle of which had b een ti e d w i t h some tape, was found by his side. LICENSED BROKERS PROTECTION SOCIETY.—The first anniversary of the formation of this body was cobs. brated last night at the Crown Tavern, Clerkenwell-green s when about fifty persons sat down to an excellent supper, p provided by Mr. Hinton, the proprietor of the house. It was pleasing to observe that the company maniiested a de voted concurrence in the objects of their institution, which gives an early earnest of its growth and success. Of its utility there can be no doubt, for whilst on the one hand a body of men, taking so large a share in the business of this country as the brokers, is prompted and almost compelled to act honestly, and legally so, on the other, must the public be spared the wanton excesses of those who hitherto have disgraced the trade. SOCIETY or ARTS.— A third adjourned special meeting of the members was held on Wednesday evening, to take into consideration some proposed alterations in the re gulations of the Society. It is much regretted by its friends that, notwithstanding all the attempts that have recently been made for its resuscitation, sonic most strenuous exer tions are required to prevent its dissolution, although it has been in existence for nearly a century.
