SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1851 We trust that Lord Jou& RUSSELL will, in his forthcoming Reform Bill, take the opportunity of re medying a grevious injustice. Whilst the Uni versities of Oxford and Cambridge return each two Members to Parliament, whilst the single College of Dublin also returns its two Members (an additional Parliamentary representative having been accorded to it by the Reform Act), the Scotch Universities of Edinburgh, of Glasgow, of Aberdeen, and of St. Andrew's, are totally unrepresented. Surely, those universities which number among their alumni, such men as Lord BROUGHAM, Lord JOHN RUSSELL, and Lord Caeirneeer e are as worthy of being repre sented in Parliament as are Oxford, or Cambridge, or Trinity College, Dublin ; and it would be greatly to the advantage of Parliament itself were the Scotch Uuiversities to be enabled to speak authoritatively, through their representatives, in the same manner as are the English Universities and Trinity College, Dublin. If during the course of the debates on the late unfortunate differences in the Scotch Church the Scotch Universities had been properly represented in Parliament the unfortunate schism at presented existing might, perhaps, have been prevented. But putting aside all mere theolo gical considerations, we contend that, as seats of learnings, as chartered universities authorised to grant degrees, the Scotch Universities are as fully entitled to hive representatives as are the Universities of Oxford and of Cambridge. As regards education, there can be no doubt but that the education afforded to the students of the Universities of Edinburgh and of Glasgow is in every respect better calculated to fit men for the proper exercise of the franchise than is afforded by the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. We may search in vain among the professors of Oxford and Cambridge for a DUGALD STUART or a Peleraea, whilst the Scotch Universities have never disgr ace d th emse l ves by endeavouring to turn aside th e a t tent i on o f t h e i r gra d ua t es f rom th e acquisition of useful and sound learning to the study of the colour of a robe, the pattern of church upholstery, or the location of nosegays, candles Surely, th ere f ore, if th e un il and candlesticks. versities which inculcate the importance of such tr ifl es are entitled to representati ves , mu c h mo re are the universities which, like those of Scotland, impart useful learning to the alumni, enti tled to be so represented. It was said that Lord JOHN RUSSELL was at first inclined to entertain favourably the proposition of enfranchising what our continental neighbours term the capabilities—that isto say, men of literature and science and the members of the learned professions—but that the difficulties in the way of carrying out the scheme were so great that he was reluctantly compelled to give it up. W e regret ex cee di ng ly thi s d e termination of his Lo rdshi p , and must confess that, to our thinking, there are no difficulties in the way of carrying out such a scheme which may not be easily overcome ; at all events, a scheme for the general enfranchisement of all uni versities would go a great way towar d s rea lly en franchising the capabilities ; and we, therefore, submit for consideration the following proposition as a first step towards securing for, at all events, the majority of educated men, the right of their franchise, to which their education now especially en ti t l es them. We would, for the purposes of the franchise, unite the University cf Aberdeen to that of Edinburgh, and the University of St. Andrew's to that of Glasgow, and to each of these united universities we would give one Member. We cannot imagine that to this proposition any opposition would be made. As re gards the University of Edinburgh, the fact that the Pte` eland, the CHIEF JUSTICE of • • Z.N• •__ .. 1.7 . 210v5t Law Reformer of his sata age— 't t ii:! ,?ti\atapan, the philosopher par i 4, k W 1041 - 1 4 40 their education at that OV. :. _ -, " ; • I i -....,,.... ~ r~.,~.:1 y.- - r ~ K S THE SU university, should be alone sufficient to silence all objections; and we cannot but hope that my Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S love of Alma Mater will induce him zealously to promote the proposition for the enfranchisement of the Uni versity of Edinburgh. With regard to the Univer sity of Glasgow, seeing that all our great statesmen are most ambitious of the honour of being elected Lords Rectors of that university, and thus pay a homage, a deserved homage, to the discernment and talents of its graduates, we cannot for a moment imagine but that they will all without a single Ciis sentient join in bestowing the franchise on those whose approbation and whose votes they are one and all so anxious to secure. *But we would fain extend our educational franchise still further. The London University, including as it does not only University College and King's College, but the Colleges of Lam peter and Durham, the Roman Catholic Colleges of Oscott and Stoney burst, and all the colleges of the various holies of Protestant Dissenters, is surely as entitled to be represented in Parliament as are the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. The graduates of the University of London are, as a body, much more learned than are the graduates of Oxford or Cambridge. We know all three of these universities, and we have no hesi tation in declaring that the majority of the gentlemen who, at Oxford and Cambridge, have taken the B.A. degree, could, not pass the examination re quired for a similar degree in the University of London ; therefore we contend that the University of London is entitled to one Member at least. We would also wish to see the right of returning one Member to Parliament conferred upon the Queen's Colleges in Ireland—or that, at all events, for Parliamentary purposes, the Queen's Colleges should be incorporated with Trinity College, and should exercise the franchise in conjunction with the graduates of that college, so that the two Members for Trinity College should represent what we may be permitted to call the University of Ireland, in stead of being merely the representatives of Trinity College, Dublin. On a subject of this sort it „is hopeless to look for any great amount of popular support ; but we appeal to the justice of those in authority, to the calm judgment of all educated men, and we trust that her MAJESTY'S Ministers will see the propriety of, at the earliest opportunity, pro posing to the Parliament the enfranchisement of those who by their education are of all other men in the world the most fitted to be entrusted with the franchise, because they will exercise it not only con scientiously and independently, but also advisedly. It has been our painful duty on many occasions to speak in by no means laudatory terms of the Minis terial proceedings and policy. Although anxious io render a fair and honest support to a nominally Liberal Government, there were unfortunately but too many instances in which we could not con scientiously do so. The fiscal and financial policy especially excited our strongest indignation, and we have never endeavoured to suppress the animadver sions which the unaccountable conduct of Sir CHARLES WOOD naturally provoked. There is one department, however, and that perhaps the most arduous of any, of which we have never had reason to complain, the management whereof has obtained the approbation of every disinterested person anxious to perpetuate the union between the sister kingdoms. Ireland had long been the difficulty of successive Administrations. It had been the rock ahead that blanched the cheeks of Whig as well as Tory Premiers. No matter how just the intentions of the Lord-Lieutenant for the time being, on entering into office, he was speedily taught that he could only rule through, and as a natural consequence for, a party. He could not act impartially—that would have been regarded as little better than an act of treason to the banner under which he had arrayed himself. Every object should be regarded either through green or orange spectacles. Lord NORMANDY en deavoured to change the system, but unfortunately even his powers were unequal to the Herculean task. His generous exertions were alighted and contemned, for " Civil dissension with its vip'rous tooth, That gnaws the bowels of the Commonweal," prevailed throughout the length and breadth of the land. But what NORMANDY attempted CLARENDON has accomplished. We speak it not in depreciation of the former highminded and talented nobleman, who did all that man could do at the period when he filled the Viceroyalty of Ireland. He it was that sowed the good seed that subsequently came to maturity. Had there not been a " NORMANDY" the efforts of a " CLARENDON" might not have been so beneficial, or succeeded in obtaining the cordial and heartfelt ap probation of persons of every creed, class, and grade in society, representing conflicting interests, and differing toto ccelo in political opinions. The former prepared the way fur the latter, and we are now reap ing the fruits of his unrequited labours. At present, while the voice even of faction is mute, while the Earl of CLARENDON is recognized as the best Lord-Lieutenant that ever presided over the destinies of Ireland, when almost the very highest praise is to be found in the absence of reproach, we find a body of noblemen coming forward to pay a compliment which is almost equally honourable to the donors and the distinguished recipient A number of members of the Royal Society for. the Promotion and Improvement of the Growth of Flax in Ireland associated themselves together for the purpose of p resenting a suitable testimonial to the nobleman who had so strenuously endeavoured to promote the development of the industrial resources of their native land, by encouraging to the utmost ex tent the production of its principal staple commodity. The gifts were appropriately selected—a magni ficent silver vase, a set of damask table linen, and a case of cambric handkerchiefs, were tendered for the acceptance of his EXCELLENCY —the former as " a permanent record . of the causes which led to its presentation," the latter as repre senting " the great and flourishing textile manuface tare," whose twofold connexion with the agriculture and commerce of the country had been often ad verted to by his EXCELLENCY, and whose future progress he had strenuously endeavoured to aid, by encouraging a more careful and extended home pro duction of its raw material, and by giving his in• fluence, both as a member of the Government and as a private individual, to the freer admission of its products among foreign consumers." Men of all parties—the Marquis of DOWNSHIRE, the Earl of ERNE, the Very Rev. the Dean of Ross, Mr. W. SHARMAN CRAWFORD, M.P , Messrs. S. K. MUL HOLLAND, W. DARGAN, W. COATES, J. CHARTERS, J. HERDMAN, J. GRIMSHAW, jun., J. CAMPBELL, J. liPMASTER, J. HANCOCK, R. MiKIBBIN, M.D., and J. MACADAM, jun., and others, representing the highest aristocracy, the best landlords, and the most enterprising commercial men in the province of Ulster were present to do justice to the illustrious representative of their SOVEREIGN, whose acts had so truly merited their approbation. For once all parties in Ireland were represented in harmonious union, co-operating together " to render honour where honour was justly due." Although a Tory and Protectionist, the Marquis of DOWNSIIIRE headed the deputation ; while Perhaps the very best landlord in the sister kingdom, the Earl of ERNE, a man revered and re spected b y his numerous tenantry, supported his bro ther Peer. WILLIA M SHARMAN CRAWFORD, the un flinching and indefatigable advocate of tenant-right, with Messrs. MuLHOLLAND, DARGAN, GRIMSHAW, and many others, vibe, EXCELLENCYh'Is were truly st e ob served, rightly understood,as and a po t o promote the best interests of Ireland, were also pre sen`. Nothing, in fact, was w anted to render the ovation as perfect as it could be. His EXCELLENCY, happy at all times in his replies t o addresses, was peculiarly felicitous on the occasion. We can easily conceive the em o ti on with w hich he responded to the gratify in g coerpliment the enthusiasm with which he declared that " the vase should from that day be come an heirloom in his family," while he spoke of the " surprise and regret " with which he held " the vast annual importations from abroad iof a raw material, for the production of which the soil and climate of Ireland were emi nently suited." 'We trust that the peop le of i reland may pro fi t b y th e valuable lessons offered by his EXCELLENCY, and that they may direct their attention to the cultivation of the crop, which will prove alike beneficial to their own personal profits and the best interests of their native land. THE FRENCH! REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. Beyond the repetition by the Debats of the ru moured refusal of Xl. CORBIN to accept a seat in the new Cabinet, there is nothing in the papers of more than ordinary interest. The Debuts still adheres to the law of the 31st of May, of which it would, how ever, allow some alterations ; but declares itself friendly to a revision of the Constitution. The PRESIDENT of the Republic returned to the Ely see on Thursday, to resume his residence at that palace. The Debats says :—" Our letters from Rome of the 24th state that the Ministerial crisis iu Francefengages public attention in a very distressing manner, and causes no less anxiety at Rome than in Paris ; such a state of things more and more injures our position with regard to the Pontifical Government, and on the other band revives the hopes of the Mazzinian party. M. DE BOUrENIEFF, the Russian Minister, who has long been absent from Rome, has returned with his family, and resides at the Embassy. Count DE zzow, formerly Austrian Ambassador, and who was compelled to leave Rome after the events of 1848, has returned, but without any mission. General DE L'ETANG has left, after having completed the inspection of the 11th Dragoons. The General has addressed to this fine regiment an order of the day, complimenting it on its dicipline. The sanitary state of the French army continues favourable, and as the fever season is over, one of the two military hospitals has been temporarily abut up." KOSSUTH'S speeches at Southampton and Win chester attract great attention. Indeed there is a general feeling of regret at the mistake into which the late Ministry had allowed itself to be led with respect to this extraordinary and truly great man. There was a slight rise in the price of public securities at the Bourse. The Five per Cents. opened at 89f. 95c., and closed at 90f. 10c. for the end of the month; the Three per Cents. closed at 55f. 70c.; Orleans Railroad Shares, 8551.; Rouen, 557 f. 50c.; Havre, 203 f. 75c.; Vierzon, 421 f. 25c.; Paris and Strasburgh, 348 f. 75c.; Tours and Nantes, 2521. 50c. BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yeitezday were es timated at from 7,000 to 8 ,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were taken for export. The market closed firmly.—The Share Market was flat and heavy, and closed at lower priers. The main influence of the dividend and quarterly payments at the Bank of England is now over, and the weekly return to the 25th ultimo is accordingly more after the ordinary course. The Public Deposits were further diminished, but not to the extent they would have been if payments to the revenue account did not continue. The private lodgments benefitted by the in creased sums put in circulation by the dividends, and these latter occasioned the payment of a further portion of the loans obtained while the transfer books were closed. The note circulation underwent scarcely any alteration. The bullion was added to rather materially. Compared with the previous week, the changes are as folio ws— Notes Issued ... Increase ...

The exports of bullion last week from London were 139 ounces in gold to France, and 49,200 ounces in silver, mostly to Holland and Belgium. Some of the letters from Calcutta by the overland mail are more gloomy in tone than any we have of late seen, and unfortunately they hold out no hope of present improvements. The market was becoming more than ever glutted with piece goods, and large quantities were still on the way. Penditrg the slack demand, there would be such an accumulation as must seri ously affect prices and entail heavy loss upon all concerned. Confidence among the native dealers was quite impaired by the numerous failures, and the firms in England which, disregarding all pre vious warning, have continued to inundate the Indian markets, will have to bear the next brunt. From Manchester we are advised by Messrs. M'Nair, Greenhow, and Irving, as follows: " As faithful exponents, according to what we really believe the actual condition of this market from time to time to be, a due regard to our intentions, though now obliging us to report the existence of a dull, drooping, and declining state of things, yet justifies us in assert ing that a large amount of business has again been transacted during the month. The details which we supply, furnished with every regard to accuracy, will best support this latter position; and with regard to the former one, a reference to our last Monthly Circular, for certain causes and influences therein stated, will in some measure account for it. "The difficulty of reconciling the outward appearance of the market with its actual working, still continues. Both goods and yarns have undergone, in most in stances during the month, a material decline in value, as you will perceive; yet spinners and manufacturers, acting wisely for their own interests, were found willing sellers, and accepted rates corres pondent with the prevailing tendency—a course of pro ceeding which, though buyers were purchasers only for immediate and pressing wants, tended to keep the market bare of any increase of stock up to the last ten days—if 40-inch Skirtings, Jacconets, and Yarns, adapted for India, be excepted, and which had, until then, from the absence of demand, increased, in all qualities and descriptions, very considerably. Since then, some considerable purchases, consequent upon the low and irregular rates ruling, in both Cloth and Twist, have not only been effected, but many producers placed again under contract. As regards these, a greater steadiness in prices now prevails; and a rather improved tone im parted to, and a demand experienced for other descrip tione of Yarns and Cloth, which has produced again a comparative general scarcity. To many of our friends, this result may appear doubtful." This being a holiday in the Stock Exchange, as usual on the Ist November, there is nothing to report of Stocks and Shares, nor do we hear of bargains out of the house that would give a reliable quotation.

The o❑ly traneaction reported to-day .Wll3—Toura and Nantes, 53g. SPAIN. Our accounts of Madrid are of the 25th inst. The Heraldo announces the proximate arrival in the capital of the Marquis of VILLAFRANCA, the only Spanish grandee who remained faithful to the cause of Don CARLOS. He lately made his submission to the QUEEN, and returns to Spain with his son, the Duke of FERNANDINA. General RONCALT, Count of Alcoy, addressed to several journals a long manifesto, in reply to the letter of M. IsrualTz on the events of Cuba. The General answers in particular a paragraph which he consi dered to contain a critical allusion to the clemency he had shown the American pirates captured last year at Cardenas. The Military Gazette mentions that 100 Paishans guns are to be sent to Havannah, for the armament of the forts along the coast of Cuba. The Nacion quotes a letter from Melilla, stating that the Moors had captured an English brig laden with Indian corn, which was obliged by stress of weather to seek refuge in the Bay of Betoya, near Alhucemas. The Clamor Publico, which also re ceived a letter from Melilla, mentioning the same fact, adds, that a few hours afterwards two English steamers and a brig of war sailed from Gibraltar, can nonaded several points of the coast, burnt all the small vessels they met with, and inflicted other injury on the pirates. Melilla suffered greatly from want of provisions. The inhabitants were reduced to live on vegetables and dry fish of a bad quality. Meat was distributed by ration, and only for the sick. The Moors continued to attack the place, and the inhabi tants loudly demanded its abandonment, if the Govern ment could not remedy the evils they endured. The steamer Castilla had landed at Melilla a battalion of the regiment of the Infanta, sent to relieve a battalion of the Regiment of Borbon. It being Sunday, the Bourse remained closed. GERMAN Y. The police of Leipsic a few days ago seized at the publishers the last work of General KLAPHA on the war in Hungary. Whilst the police were still in the shop (says a local journal) an order for several copies of the work was brought in from Field-Marshal RADETZKI. A letter from Hanover of the 26th states that the KING has recovered from his indisposition. A letter from Zurich states that the King of SAXONY has granted a full pardon to the celebrated composer, M. RICHARD WAGERER, who was con demned by default to a long imprisonment, for taking part in the insurrection of Dresden in 1849, and who has since resided as a refugee in Switzerland. On the proposition of M. LISZT, the Grand Duke of Saxe Weimar has just charged M. WAGERER to set to music a grand new opera in five acts, called Le Jeune Sigefroid, the subject of which is borrowed from the S.:andinavian Sagas. A number of Jesuits have gone into Baden as missionaries, and are preaching three times a-day to the people. They attract large crowds. A letter from Temesvar, in Hungary, of the 20th, states that the windows of the British Consul's house at Belgrade had been broken, in consequence of his not having illuminated on the occasion of the anni versary of the birthday of the Prince of SERVEA. The Consol had struck his flig, and made a complaint to the Ottoman Government. SWEDEN. A banquet was hold at Stockholm on the 22d, at whiob 140 persons were present, to celebrate the libe• ration of KOSSUTH. ,11 GREECE. Two bands of brigands have appeared on the west coast of Greece, opposite the lonian Islands, the one at Patras, the other at Missolonghi. Some travellers have also been robbed in the province of Maina, in the south of the Monis, some say at the instigation of MAVROMICHAELI, the presumed assassin of the late Mi nister CORFIOTA ILI, who was shot a year ago. OMAN EFFENDI, the Turkish Charge d'Affaires, has just died in Athens. He is the first Mussulman who has been buried in Athens since that town has been free, and the Greek Government rendered him all the civil honours due to his rank. TAXES.—The Government, by their lateness in getting the assessed taxes and property and income taxes passed last session, as a matter of course, threw the business of the surveyors, clerks to commissioners, assessors, and col lec[ors—one and all—into the background, and, as might be expected, into great confusion and inconvenience. But mind, for all that, the periods for receiving the money have been fixed just as if all this inconvenience to the various public officers had not been occasioned I Well, indeed, may they (as they naturally do) complain. Surely it would have been nothing but reasonable and proper to have fixed the receipts later than usual, if even a month. But Government will have the money. THE GREAT BRITAIN STEAM-SHIP. This gigantic vessel was yesterday removed from the Sandon graving -dock, where she has been undergoing repairs since April last, and brought into the Wellington-dock, where her engines will be placed in her. She is to have six boilers, three on each aide, and two funnels, abreast of each other. The machinery, which has been made in London, is now on board, and on its way to Liverpool. The alterations in the ship have added materially to her appearance, and they have also increased her capacity. By means of the new deck house, the ship will be able to carry coals for the voyage out and home, about COO passengers, and 3,000 tons of measure ment goods, whilst her engines, which are nominally of the same power as before, but really more efficient, will give her a higher speed. The new screw is now fixed in its place. Its diameter is 15 feet 6 inches, and its pitch 19 feet. The rudder of the ship is deserving of attention, inasmueh as it differs, we believe, from all other rudders. The rudder post may be termed a bar of iron, firmly secured to the keel behind the propeller, and rising to the iron work above the upper end of the rudder-post, inclining back wards. The rudder-post is turned at different diameters, tapering downwards, so that the rudder cannot get fast by working down. The action of the rudder is partly upon the steel pin and partly around the rudder-post, which it is made to encircle ; and vibration is prevented by a portion of the rudder being made to project forward of the rudder-post. The Great Britain is said new to be a stronger vessel than she was before.—Liverpool Mercury. LAMENTABLE CASE OF DROWNING.—The Derby shire Chronicle contains the report of an inquest upon the body of an old man seventy-one years of age, named Samuel Simpson, who, on Wednesday, unfortunately lost his life in attempting to save that of a child, named George Twelle, who had fallen into the River Derwent, but whom he did not succeed is rescuing. The child was playing on the Siddals-bridge, and had run down the bridge to the bank of the river but was unable to stop itself in time, and so rolled into the water. The deceased was at the -rest-end of the Siddals, and on being informed of the circumstance, immediately ran towards the spot, and pulling off his coat jumped into the water. He was seen by a youth named Sutton to lay hold of the child. This youth, who had a baby in his arms, went for assistance. A man named Mans field, who was unloading some deals close by, and another named Faulkner, went to the place of the accident; they saw the top of Simpson's head in the water, and both jumped in. Mansfield put his arm round the deceased, and suc ceeded in getting him to the piles, but there became fast. Faulkner, who had been locking for the child, but could not see anything of it, then went and extricated Mansfield and the deceased from the obstruction. They got Simpson out on the bank, but he died there before medical assistance could be obtained. CHANCERY SITTINGS.—It was notified yesterday that the causes belonging to Sir J. L. Knight Bruce's paper will be taken i n th e ensu i ng term by Vice-Chancellor Sir Jrmes Parker; and that the causes set down for heating in Lord Cranworen's court will be heard by Vice-Chancellor Sir R. T. Kindersley. Although the Act of last session pro fesses to have been passed for the purpose of "improving" the equity practice, it has rarely, if ever, happened, that the profession has been left in uncertainty as to the days ap pointed for particular business, and as to the a ll o t men t o f the causes to the several courts, until the day before term, Herald.

OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice MAULE and Mr. Justice CRESSWELL ) MANSLAUGHTER.— Charles &main, aged 16, described as a labourer, pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with feloniously killing and slaying one Henry Plampen. The prisoner and the deceased had been em ployed in a stable together, and on the occasion of the assault which ultimately led to the death, the deceased pushed the prisoner under a horse, and otherwise pro voked him, and in the passion of the moment he stabbed the deceased with a pitchfork. The COURT sentenced the prisoner to three months, imprisonment, with hard labour. THE SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY ROBBERY.—A re spectably attired man, named George Senior, aged 48' described as a perfumer, was indicted for feloniously receiving goods value 2751., the property of the London and South-Western Railway Company, well knowing the same to have been stolen. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. Mr. Ballantine, with whom was Mr. Huddlestone, ap peared for the prosecution, and Mr. Parry defended the prisoner. Mr. BALLANTINE opened the case to the jury, which he represented to be ono of a somewhat extraordinary character. It appeared that in February last Messrs. Candy and Co., the warehousemen of Watling-street, ordered a large package of merino goods of a house in Paris, which were duly forwarded and shipped for Southampton at the French port of Havre. Strange to say, however, that the goods never reached their proper destination, though beyond all doubt they were safely placed upon the London and South-Western Railway, and ultimately the railway company had to make good the value of the missing property. Nothing was heard after wards of the property until some few weeks ago, when a man named Pamplin was convicted in this court of having been concerned in a large gold dust robbery en the South-Western Railway, and after his conviction be gave such information to the officers of justice which led to the discovery of an extensive and organized system of plunder, which was going on under the supervision of one of the railway companies' servants. This person took a leading part in the management of the goods' de partment of the railway, and the position which he thus held enabled him to ascertain the value of the small puckagu goods that passed over the line. It was his practice when he wished to become possessed of any property, to be in the way of the Waterloo goods' station when they arrived from Southampton or any other place, and then to alter the waybill and direction of the packages, so that they should be delivered in the due course of business at some rendezvous which he and his confederates might have previously agreed upon. Now in this way it was alleged that tho merino goods consigned to Messrs. Candy and Co., from Paris, came into his possession, and were then directed to a felonious channel. The goods, instead of going to Watling-street, wero de livered in Earl-street, Finsbury-Square, at a house then cccupied by the convicted man Pamplin, and according to the evidence of Pamplin himself, which was confirmed by Winter, the railway servant. and another accomplice, named Witcher, that a portion of the contents of the packages afterwards found their way to the bands of the prisoner, who at the time was the landlord of the Black Dog public-house, in Crain street, Finsbury. The goods were sold, through the instrumentality of the prisoner, to a man named Seaward for Bd. and 9d. a yard; and the total amount came to 565. 9s. 4d. Pamplin, Witcher, and Winter (the rail way servant), have since been tried and convicted of the robbery, and sentenced to various terms of transporta tion and imprisonment; while the man Seaward has been convicted and sentenced as a receiver. The prisoner accepted some pieces of the merino as a slight remune ration for the part he had taken in the transaction; but the prosecutors believed he was concerned with Seaward, and therefore they thought the ends of justice required that he should be prosecuted also. Several witnesses, including two of the convicted thieves, and Seaward, the other receiver, were called to give evidence in support of the case, and afterwards a deposition was put in to show that at a former trial the prisoner, who was then examined as a witness, positively swore that the sale of the goods to Seaward was nut ne gotiated at his house. The only evidence, however, which connected the prisoner with the sale was that of the convicts, which at the close of the case tor the pro secution the Court pronounced to be unconfirmed by any independent witness or circumstance. _ _ _ Mr. PentrY therefore confined his address on behalf' of the prisoner to that particular point, and he told the jury that the law wisely required that in cases like this the evidence of the accomplices must be confirmed by some respectable and independent testimony before it could be allowed to implicate a third party. Mr. Justice MAIILE, in summing up, concurred in that opinion of the law, but, nevertheless, left it to the jury to say whether or no there was any confirmation of the evidence of the convicts, or in the absence of such confirmation, whether under all the circumstances of the case the evidence of the accomplices was worthy of belief. The jury retired from the box to consider their verdict, and after an absence of about half an hour, re turned into court with a verdict of Guilty. The Court sentenced the prisoner to seven years' transportation. E IV COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner GURNEY.) Alexander Goods, a convict, was indicted for felo niou6ly committing an assault on Thomas Hopper, with intent to do him some grevious bodily harm. The prosecution had been instituted at the instance of the Government. It appeared from the evidence of Captain O'Brien, one of the directors of convict prisons, and Mr. Thomas Hopper, chief warder of Millbank Penitentiary, and ce her witnesses, that she prisoner was an inmate of the Penitentiary, and bad been reported on the 9th of September last for ha v i ng b ro k en fif tee n squares of glass in his cell, and destroyed a portion of his furniture. On that day the prisoner was brought before Captain O'Brien, in order that the charge might be investigated, and after hearing the evidence tee sentenced him to 28 days' solitary confinement in a dark cell. When the officers were about to remove the prisoner he asked Captain O'Brien if he might be allowed to say a few words. Captain O'Brien replied in the affirmative, and the prisoner said, " Why was I sent here again from the hulks? You recollect that I aaid before I would either kill my se lf, o r so mebody e l se ,. and now I will do it." Ile then took a knife out of his breast and gave Hopper a v i o l ent bl ow w i t h it on t h e c h es t. The knife penetrated through the wadding of the uni form, but was providenti a ll y arreste d i n i ts progress by coming in contact with a metal button. The prisoner was immediately seized, and on the way to his cell he told Hopper he was sorry the knife had not entered his heart. The knife was the same as those used by con victs at Millbank, and must have been secreted on his person after dinner ; but the point, instead of being round, had been sharpened, no doubt for the purpose of more easily effecting his purpose. Captain O'Brien stated that the prisoner had made several complaints with regard to his being sent back from the hulks, and had also applied to be sent out to Norfolk Island ; and he believed he told him that his jurisdiction had only reference to the treat ment o f prisoners in the Peni tentiary. On being called on for his defence, the prisoner read a rather ably comp ose d d ocumen t, in which he detailed at some length a s er i es o f un j us t and cruel punishments, which he said he had received since July, .1847, and which he declared bad led him to sink deeper into crime and misery. He particularly complained of not being sent to the colonies, while other convicts, of worse cha racter and conduct than himself, had been sent, and he added he was at lust brought to such a state of despera tion that he committed the above offence in order that he might be brou g ht before a court of justice, and be enabled to show the public how badly ho had been treated. The Learned JUDGE having summed up the case, The jury found a verdict of Guilty. The Learned JUDGE said he should respite the priso ner's sentence until next seesion. WORSHIP-STREET.—(THIS DAY). William Johnson was charged before Mr, Hammill with the following assault and attempt at robbery on the person of Mr. George Amor. Prosecutor stated that last night, between eleven and twelve o'clock, while passing down Kingsland-road, on his way home from the City, he was accosted by a re spectable-looking female, aho requested his assistance in finding out Dunstor-street. On reaching the spot he was suddenly felled to the ground by some person behind him, and the next instant a hand was pieced over his mouth and his watch-chain seized. Succeeding in forcing the hand from his face, he called " Police!" on which prisoner exclaimed, " Step it, Emma;" but the female, who had not left the spot, refused, and, kneeling on him, endeavoured to force the watch from his pocket. On seeing an officer running down the street she ran off, leaving her visite in his hands. Ho could swear to the prisoner. Carpenter, 474 N, deposed to finding the prosecutor, quite sober, lying on the ground, and also to apprehend ing the prisoner a abort distance from the spot. The woman escaped. The prisoner was fully committed for trial. MAGAZINE-DAY. BLACK WOOD. Pisistratus gives us an instalment of his " Novel," somewhat darkened this month by the pressure of that evil genius of the narrative, Randal Leslie. His character is altogether so detestable of its kind, that we cannot acknowledge to any very profound interest in the prospect of his success in regard to the renova tion of Rood Hall. The account of its dilapidated condition, and of the miserable and slovenly abase ment of his family,is amusing enough as a delineation of a class unhappily too numerous. Oliver, degraded into the butt of tAs boorish playmates, Juliet, dege nerating into a most slatternly reader of novels, with her hair about her ears, the mother rating everyone around her with a querulous and intermiable series of complaints, and the poor weak-minded, do-nothing father, maundering among his pigs and chickens with only energy enough left to express a wish for better fortunes,—are all of them life-like portraitures, so life-like as to be even painfully depres sing. Frank Hazledean seems to be on the fair road to what Mr. Mantellini called "the demnition bow wows." Of Leonard we hear nothing; neither have we a glimpse of Helen, or of her patron and our espe cial favourite Harley rEstrange. Besides which, Audley Egerton appears no longer on the stage, and the Squire, and his Harry, and Parson Dale, and Richard Avenel, and Burley, and the tinker, and his donkey, are all of them left for the time, tin sporting phrase, nowhere. Riecabocca only speaks a sentence at the close of the few chapters lying before us, but the circumstances under which we again listen to his voice are such as invest even those few words with a peculiar interest. A threatening cloud seems to have suddenly passed over the sunshine of his secluded life, and danger impends also over the head of Violante, his daughter. Randal is of course the immediate cause of this danger—instigated to a plot against the peace of the poor exile by information conveyed to him in directly through Giulio Franzini, Count di Peschiera, the brother of Beatrice, the beautiful and rather unfortunate than reprehensible Marchesa di Negra. The preliminary chapter, in which our gifted author analyses his present composition, is perhaps the most interesting portion of the present instalment of these " Varieties of English Life." The plot of the whole story has by this time become so strangely entangled that we look with curiosity for its unravelment. We arerejoiced to see in the first contribution to Ebony for November a most eulogistic, and deservedly eulogistic criticism on " The Dramas of Henry Taylor." Speaking of Philip Van Artevelde, the reviewer says decisively, " there have been greater poems, but in modern times we do not think there has appeared any dramatic composi tion which can be pronounced superior to the masterpiece of Henry Taylor." In uttering this opi nion, the writer of course does not mean to gainsay the genius displayed in Lord Byron's Sardanapalus, in Coleridge's Remorse, or in Shelley's wonderful tragedy of The Cenci—but he yields the preference to Philip Van Artevelde, by reason of its being "a more complete dramatic work." As magazine stories, we have here in Blackwood, " A Legend of Gibraltar," and a Norse tale, entitled the " Master Thief," both of which will be read with satisfaction. A masterly paper is also furnished on " The Submarine Tele graph," with some very agreeable and gossipping "German Letters from Paris," in which the antecedents of the President are, we conceive, rather shamefully and unfairly underrated. Besides these are articles headed " Autumn Politics," throughout which Maga rings the changes again and again on the old lac quered sophisms of Protection. The writer, while endeavouring, doubtless, to render his onslaught upon free trade worthy itself of the title, unluckily makes himself liable by these means to be assailed as—a Po litical Smasher. 11 , E IV MONTHLY. Does any magazine reader y earn for some tale of exciting interest ? Let him turn to " A Dark Deed of Days Gone By" in the November number of the CUS Monthly. Is he yet unsatisfied ? Let him devour the dream entitled "The Curse of Gold." Added to these are many other papers of genuine attractiveness in the same magazine—such as Dudley Costello's " Golden Ingots," or as Nicholas Michell's " Hester Somerset." An eighth chapter of " Young Tom Hall's Heartaches and Horses," carries us on yet another stage in his merry, lively, and exhilarating adventures. Although guided to the discovery merely by the initials W. ➢l. T. and the selection of the subject, we fancy we detect in a few very indiffe rent lines of verse headed " Dirge for the Exhibi tion of 1851," another tribute to the Crystal Palace by Mr. Thackeray. Already we have noticed two papers in reference to gold in the present number. NVe must observe, in addition to these, a third— namely, the one relating to " Gold in Australia." Other contributions somewhat readable of their kind are also to be found in the New Monthly, as, for ex ample, the German Soldier's " Picture of Barrack Lite," as the agreeable review of certain " French Almanacs," or as theicontinuation of " The Griffins in Switzerland." AINSWORTH. In Ainsworth for the current month its readers are recommerded at the very outset " Never to Marry for Money." Further on, there is in its pages a not less interesting paper affecting the fair sex, we mean the one upon the great subject of " The Disfranchisement of Women "—a subject which has not failed to find a multitude of agitators from the days of Mary Wolstoncraft. Mr. Thornbury has some negligent verses called " The Moldavian Reaper's Song," though why it should he the Moldavian reaper's in particular and not any other reaper's in the wide world, we cannot for the life of us conjecture. We are glad, however, to recognise the name of this young writer among the list of ma gazine contributors, having had occasion ourselves very recently to commend the very considerable abili ties he has recently displayed in his" Lays . and Le gends." Nevertheless Ainsworth possesses in the cur rent number a poetic contribution of a very exquisite character. 'We allude to the " Ode on the Blackbird —by E. E. M. K.," which we shall transfer to our own columns at the earliest opportunity, and which we are satisfied will call to the mind of many of those whoread it, the famous odes addressed by Keats and Shelley, the latter to the " Sky Lark," and the former: to the " Nightingale." E. E. M. K. has in these verybeautiful stanzas revealed a power :which if duly dev eloped, cannot fail to secure popularity. Beyond the contributions already particularised, there are in the contents of the number further portions of " Florence Hamilton," and of the well-known " Lan cashire Witches," by Mr. Ainsworth !himself, who we are rejoiced to see .by advertisement once more redivivus. THE ART JOURAAL. Despoiled of its brilliant supplement illustrative of the wonders of the Crystal Palace, by reason of the closing of the Exhibition, the Art Journal, neverthe less, continues to furnish us with a variety of most attractive embellishments. The Vernon Gallery still continues to suggest subjects for its engravers. Be fore us, for example, we have here lying Cousen's ad mirable plate from Stanfield's wonderful painting of " The Battle of Trafalgar," and Prior's meritorious transcript from the "Wood-cutting in Windsor Fo rest" of Linnet'. " The Bavaria "—being the cele brated statue in Munich, by Schwantheler—is the other principal embellishment. As woodcuts, we find in the Art Journal sketches from some of the po pular works of " Ostade," preceded by a character istic picture of the artist himself, and scattered through a very agreeable biography. " Costumes of various Epochs," we would especially commend to public attention in these times, when men are rising into a hatred for their old chimney-pot hats, and females are agitating the fantastic project of Bloomerism. Every future Macbeth should dress in the costume pourtrayed at page 281, representing a Scottish warrior of the eighth or ninth century. It is at once grand, national, and picturesque in its aspect, and in the decoration of the helmet truly magnificent. PUNCH'S POCKET-BOOK FOR 1852. Pictorially this comical little brochure from the house of Mr. Punch is glorious, thanks to the artistic humour of John Leech and John Tenniel, its illustrators. In a literary respect the "Pocket Book" is—we must avow it at once—utterly indifferent. If the pen fails in fascetiousness, how ever, the pencil, as we have intimated, proves more than ever successful. Witness this, Mr. Tenniers extravagantly funny woodcut prefixed to the list of foreign ambassadors, where Punch is bow ing with such an air of sublime condescension, or the one where our good Queen is seated cosily on the British lion—docile to her fair hand, but ter rible to all other sovereigns—or the one where Grog and Magog in the box of a tavern are lapping up plentiful supplies of callipee and calipash, or another where Punch is riding, a la Hernandez, on five horses—besides many other equally, and some still more, provocative of laughter. The very elaborate sketch prefixed to the list of public amusements is almost worthy of Doyle in its iogenaity and animation. Mr. Leech's cuts in the " Pocket Book" are somewhat more pre tentious of their kind, and will no doubt prove favourites. The "Recognized Tenor of her Msjesty's Theatre at the Sea Side," looks really like a sketch from the life, and is delicious as a pictorial sarcasm. " Mr. Lothbury's Nightmare," too, is capital—espe cially in regard to the expression of Mr. Lothbury's own face in his slumbers just at the moment when the apex of his proboscis is being tickled by the feelers of the lobster.
