In referee _ie to the recent debate in the House of Commons on the withdrawal of the Edinburgh and Glasgow and Caie ,dOnian Railway Amalgamation Bill, the Caledonian Directors feel a duty to state that they are in no wise responsible f>r its details. X hey would have approved of the principle of amalgamation, if on t i cinallterms, am? knowing the absolute necusity of reducing the tount of guarantee- . . they desire the power to obtain Yarliamcn rY sanction during this sestiion, in case all parties should concur. , he terms of modification ought to In.ve been heft blank, in order mbe filled up by arrangement. The Caledonian Beard never would have sanctioned the measure suggested in the Mill against their pre ference shares, as evinced by their recent election of Mr. Wheeler as a director, who holds a large amount of that stock.

".I.'hn case t xcited intense interest, and when the hours of heating (two o'clock) came, a rush was made for ad mittance through all the avenues cf the court, as it was expec , ,ed that some curious: r , velations would take place. Mr. Ballantine said the charge against the defendant was that he had illegally connected a pipe with the pipes bdcngitig to the company, and had used it on seventy six occasions, For tt:is offence the 18th section of the comi any's Act imposed a penalty of 51. for so connect ing the pipe, and 40s. for every occasion on which it was thed. The object in tampering with the pipes was to convey the gas into the defendaht's premises without its pas,ing through the meter, and thus avoiding an index to the quantity consumed. Mr. Clarkson having consulted with Mr. Sydney, and e,riterred with Mr. Ballantine, said that though he had an answer as to the extent to which the gas had been uiet', yet as he could not deny the charge relating to the pipe, he thought, under the circumstances, the best thing his client could do would be tor make the company all the reparation in his power. .As far as his client's means would go he. was ready to make full compensation, and he therefore tendered a sum of 501., by acceptance of which on the part of the company their Act would be vindicated, and his client much obliged. Mr. Ballantine considered that his Learned Friend had acted judiciously in adopting that course. The obje:!t of the company was to show that proceedings would be adopted, and heavy penalties would be conse quent on a violation of the Act; but when contrition was thus pablicly expressed and compensation offered, they Felt that it would appear vindictive to attempt to crush a man bythe, enforcement of tae full penalty. They would, therefore, accept the offer, and &low a fortnight for the l'ayment, calling upon the defendant to give sureties for his appearance at that time, should the amount not be paid in the interim, himself in 50/. and two sureties in 501. each. After some further conversation, it was agreed, on the part cf the company, to accept the defendant's cheque for 501, Mr. Clarkson observing, that it was to be understood that all other proceedings against his client should be abandoned. Mr. Phillips then drew and handed over a cheque for 501., which ho said he would pay immediately if pre sented at his house; and the parties left with that un .terstanding, proc,edings being re spited for a fortnight. THE SWELL MOB in YORKSHIRE WALKING THE HOTELS. Two cf this fraternity, having the appearance of oreigners, visited Leeds on Tuesday last, and made several bold experiments upon commercial travellers and other gentlemen staying at our principal hotels; in one instance they were successful in obtaining a small booty, including an article, the possession of which has turned cut to be an awkward circumstance for them. On Tuesday night Colonel H. R. Addison, of Brompton, London, and provincial director of the Metropolitan Counties Asset aeee Company, slept at Searbro's hotel, and, on dressing next morning, ho found that his purse, conttining four sovereigns and some silver, had been taken out of his trousers pocket. The circumstance was men tioned to Mr. Fleischmann, the proprietor, who, on in quiry, learnt that a stranger had been seen in some of tae bed-rooms as early as six o'clock that morning, and that he hal opened the door cf the bar-maid's room hilst she was dressing. Information of the robbery was given to the police, and from the information given by Francis Buddy, an omnibus-driver, whose conduct is entitled to the highest praise, the two tree alluded to were arrested the same day, with a large quantity of stolen valuables. Boddy first saw the parties alluded to a little after six o'clock on Wedeesday morning, when one of them walked into the Royal Hotel, just as he was bringing his omnibus out. A short time after this Boddy called at the White Horse, in Boar-lane, to take up passengers, when he was surprised at seeing one of the two men coming down stairs; ten minutes afterwards he saw him coming out f the Griffin Inn, in Boar-lane, join his companion, who was waiting in the street for him, and the two then walked into Batty's wood yard, at the rear of Mrs. fleggon's eating-house in Wellington-street. All this ,xcited the suspicion cf the omnibus-driver, aho about helf past seven o'clock saw the same men leave the house of Mrs. Huggon by the front door, and walk into the Midland Railway-station opposite, the men having with them carpet bags, wrappers, coats, &c., as if just going off by the train. On seeing all this, Buddy fol lowed them, informed the booking clerk of his suspi 6011e, saw them take tickets for London, and seat them• selves in a first class carriage. The clerk also took the pre-caution to keep a memorandum of the numbers of the tickets which he gave to the two auspicious-looking fu reignerF, so as to fa,..:ilitate their apprehension if needful fir wards. On the police receiving information of these circumstances, a messar; e was telegraphed to the several stations on the route to London, for the apprehension of these partieF, and when the ti ain arrived at Rugby, about half-past one o'clock, the st...tion-master there sought out and gave them into the custody of Mr. Wm. Chamber lain, inspector of the police at that place, who brought them to Leeds the same afternoon. On Thursday and yesterday they were brought up at the Leeds Court house, before John Wilkinson, C. G. Macke), and Ralph Mstkiautt, Esqs., for examination. The evidence taken disclosed a series of syst-matic robberies in the leading hotels in different towns of Yorkshire. Inspector Cham berlain produced the property he found in possession cf the prisonere. On kauritz he found 22 sovereigns, nearly 41. in silver, gold tooth-pick, pencil-case, and an eye-glass; on Allbrecht he found a gold watch, 91. in gold, need 41. Bs. el in silver; and from the carpet bag, which he owned, was taken twelve table and five des sert spoons, silver; two valuable gold watches in a silk purse, including two pairs of light pumps, two satin stocks with long fronts, each of them with gold pins stuck in them, and other articles; one of the stocks had three separate gold pins in it, with a gold chain attached. Amongst the silver found upon Allbrecht was an old Irish firepenny silver token, a coin nut in circula tion now, and which Colonel Addison was able to spe a k e), it having been paid him instead of sixpence, a few days before in Manchester. The pumps found in the carpet bag appeared to be nearly new, being only a little dirtied on the soles, and had r.o doubt been used to enable the prisoners to Fees lightly and unobservel in and out of the various lodging rooms they wished to plunder. At the examination yesterday, wituesses were present from Hull and She Feld. Mr. Glover, of the London Hotel, at Hull, identified all the seven teen silver spoons and one of the gold watches, which he said had been stolen out of his house about two o'cloek on Monday afternoon ; the spoons having been taken out of a drawer in the coffee-room, and the watch from his daughter's lodging room. He also spoke to meeting the prisoner Mauritz on the landing up denrs on that day, when he seemed a good deal agitated, but as he said he was seeking for the water-closet no suspicion was excited. Mr. Glover's waiter also spoke to seeing the prisoner in the house, just before the plate was missed, and to serving him with a glass of port wine, when he generously ri fused to accept of sixpence in change, telling the waiter to keep it for himself. Mr. Scott, a commercial traveller, who was in attendance, identified another. of the gold watches and also the purse in which it was found, He said that he slept at the Angel lun on Monday night, and when ho got up, about eight o'clock next morning, he found that his gold watch had been taken from the dressing-table, and a purse, containing 36/. or 38/. in notes, gold, and silver. The gold watch had a brown-coloured guard, with a gold snip attached, and on the snap wasnengraved Mr. Scott's initials. Geo. Lee, a man employed as boots at Shef deld, stated that on the same night as the robbery at the Angel Inn, a gentleman named Adams, had 151. in notes and three sovereigns, and 41. to Si. in silver stolen from his bed-room at the Royal Hotel, and amongst the sovereigns one which had been clipped and could be identified. Inspector Chamberlain said one of the sove reign: which he found upon the prisoner Mauritz, was marked as described. Miss Huggins, of the eating-house at Leeds, stated that the two prisoners came in about ten o'clock on Tuesday morning, engaged a bed room had some refreshment, and then went out stating they would have a late dinner. Iu the course of the af ternoon they returned, sat a short time, spoke of having dinner at six o'clock, and again left the house, to which they came back at ten o'clock. A little before six o'clock, and before any of the family were up, they let thtiaiselves out by the back door, returned to the house about seven, and after paying their bill, left for the rail vi ay station. Their proceedings were of that character that she called them " the mysterious strangers." Mr. Granger appeared for Mauritz, snd Mr. Ferns for All bt but they illicited nothing material from the wit nesses in cross-exanination. In anseer to the usual questions from the Bench, as to whether they wished to say any thing in defence to the charge of stealing the money of Colonel Addison, Mauritz replied, "I am guilty of the whole," but Allbrect said he was innocent; that he had met with the other prisoner in Leeds, who had by permission put the articles found in his posses sion into his carpet bag, in consequence of their going to London in company. The Justices committal both the prisoners to York Castle for trial at the next as sizes, but directed them to be first taken to Hull and Sheffield, in order to their being examined by the ma gistratt s there, for the robberies committed in those towns.

The occurrences of every day de monstrate the accumulating necessity for an opposition to the spirit of ecclesiastical domination upon false pretences. The Sunday tyranny, the Baptism tyranny, and the Marriage tyranny, are all scions of the same root, in which the essence of the enjoyment to the executors is, that the pleas are logically and scripturally false. The following petitior, signed by a baroneted vicar and 215 of his neighbours, and pre sented with approbation by Sir John Tyrol), M.P. for North Essex, ought to lead the way to more ex pressions of opinion on the subject. If it does not, we are in a fair way of being made as ridiculous in the eyes of Protestant Europe as the Spaniards and Portuguese with their five saints'•days a-week. " The humble petition of the undersigned personi using the post-office at Witham, in the county of Essex, " Sheweth, "T 1 at your petitioners believe the dispatch of Post-office business and transmission cf letters on the Sunday (as at present arranged) to Le absolutely ne cessary. " That your petitioners do not consider Post-office labour on the Sunday, under the recent regulations, in jurious to the interests of society, oppressive to the public servants, or to form any serious obstacle to the enjoyment of the physical, moral, and spiritual ad vantages which attend freedom from labour one day in seven. "That under the present arrangements the post masters and others connected with the Post-office have every opportunity of keeping Sunday as a day of rest and enjoyment in the proper sense of the word, and have ample opportunity of attending divine worship as often as any other class of her Majesty's subjects. " Your petitioners yield to no one in a sincere de sire that Sunday should be kept holy, and have seen with great satisfaction the efforts on the part of the Government to abridge as much as possib!e Sunday labour; but your petitioners view with disapprobation the proceedings of a few individuals, meeting in the me tropolis as a board or society, in sending into the country petitions praying your Honourable House to cause all Post•office business to be suspended on the Sunday throughout the coua try, as calculated to deceive your Honour able I.IOIHO into a belief that such petitions originate spontaneously in the country, instead of with the indi viduals alluded to. " That your petitioners consider the entire cessation in the delivery and receipt of letters on the Sunday would be attended with great inconvenience, seriously compro mise the commercial interests of the kingdom, and in stead of diminishing have a tendency to increase Sunday labour. " Your petitioners therefore humbly pray your Ho nourable House not to pass any law by which all Post office business would be suspended on the Sunday throughout the country. "And your petitioners will ever pray, &c. " HENRY DIXON. " JOHN PAGE WOOD, Bart., Vicar of Crossing. " EDWARD W. BANKS." &C. &C. &C. [PRICE SD.

IMium Eusdon, aged 25, a retipectable-looking map, was indicted for maliciously setting fire to several stacks of corn and farming premises of Mr. Elliott Smith, at Girton, on Thursday the Bth day of January last. Mr. Palmer appeared for the prosteutiun; Mr. Nay lor defended the prisoner. The evidence con,isted principally of the testimony of a min who, according to his own statement, had been at leas a participator in, if not the originator of the crime, and who was contradicted by a third party, as consi- dered by the jury insufficient to justify a conviction, and they returre I a verdict of Not Guilty. WESTERN CI 11C U IT—Exeter, March 21. CROWN COURT.--(Before Mr. Justice TALFOURD.) Samuel Sheere and John Gordon were indicted for ma liciously setting file to a house, some persons being therm'', with intent tc defraud the the West of England Insurance Company. Mr. Kerslake was counsel for the prosecution; and Mr. Collier and Mr. Challoner Smith defended the prisoners. The evidence produeel for the prosecution showed that the house in question was one of several houses in a row at Dolton, near Torrington. It was occupied by a person of the name of Lyne ; the wile of Lyre hal at up aster her husband, who had gone to bed early on the evening of the 20. h of February. The wife was going to bed abut twelve o'clock at night ; sho smelt fire, and upon an examination she saw fire under the thatched rout. She gave an alarm, and the neighbours put the fire out. Next door but one was a house, occupied by a person named llssetr, and under the thatch of that house a quaht:tvof barley straw was found. This made it pretty evident that it had been the act of an incendiary. Then came the question as to who had committed the act, and with the view of ascertaining this the shoe-marks around and near the houses ware traced a considerable distance, nearly three miles, and the trackers, from some other su,pieion, w ent to the house of Sheere early the next morning. They found him is bed, his shoes e ere wet and drying at the lire. They also found his clothes wet and dirty. Luis shoes were taken, and they corresponded with the shoerna!ks found near the houses. The shies of the other prisoner also correspondei with some cf these marks. It was also shown that both the prisoners had gone out from their homes about 11 o'clock that night, and did not return till one in the morning. When the prisoners were apprehended, they accounted for their absence from their homes by stating that they had been out poaching. The shoemaiks were further traced to a barley-mow; and it was discovers d that some of the barley-straw had been drawn out of the tick, and that corresponded with t he burnt barley-straw f o und under the thatch ef . s sett's house. &care had some kind of interest in this uouse, and had insured it for 1001 , but it was shown that, had the hou.e been burnt down, he would have been a loser. Mr. COLLIER addressed the jury on behalf of the pri soners; and The Learned JUDGE having summed up, The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The Court did not rise till shortly before eleven o'clock at night. NORTHERN eniG . Wll—Liverpeol, March 22. The Judges finished their labours at Yolk yesterday. Ir. Baron Rolle lett York early to open the commission at Liverpool. Mr. Baron Alderson having disposed of two causes which remained, lett York by the twelve o'clock train, and arrived in Liverpool last night. Their Lordships having ait Aided divine service this morning at St. George's Chapel, Mr. Baron Alderson sat fir the trial of prisoners in the Crown Court. The calendar is nut considered heavy fur this division uf the county. There are in it 48 cases, and the names of 74 prisoners. Of these six are charged wita man slaughter, five with stabbing, one with assault with in tent to rub, fourteen with robbery, five with felony, eighteen with burglary, three with bigamy, six with stealing from a dwelling-house, one with rape, four with coining and passing base coin, seven with forgery, two with enabizz'ement, and two wil' concealment of birth. The two Johnson;, charged with embezzling money, the property of the trustees of the St. Helen's Savings Bank, will be tried at these assizes. Several charges of coining and uttering base coin were tried ; Mr. Knowles, Q.C., as Attorney-Ge_eral for the County Palatine, and Mr. Cobtett, prosecuting. In the civil court scveral undefended actions and cities of no intrreet were disposed cf, and at three o'ciccic Mr. Baron Rolfe tried some prisoners, the coun sel in the causes in order not being prepared. The cause list, so far as is known, is not heavy. It is said to contain au entry cf 108 causes. The list is not, however, yeL printed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBORO GH- S TEE ET. BAIL IN THE CHARGE OF FRAUD ON THE DUKE OF W F.LLINGTON.—Twu 'Arsons offered themselves as bail for the man and woman Stanley, remanded on a charge of having obtained money fraudulently from his Grace the Duke of Wellington. A clerk from the office of Mr. Humphries attended to examine the parties. The prisoners had also a solicitor. The first bail was George Henry Webster, of Evans street, Soho. His property consisted t f furniture and stuck, and was of more value than 1001. On cross-examination he said he did not know either of the prisoners. He had been applied to by a Mr. Smith, who kept a coffee-shop in liarylebone-street, to become bail. He had not received any guarantee, nor was he to have any remuneration. Was not aware that Smith, with a woman named De Souza, was indicted for keeping a bad house. The second bail was George Smith, of 14, Jermyn street, who said his property consisted of the furniture in the house. On cross-examination he admitted he did not know either of the prisoners; but, at the request of Smith had agreed to become bail. Wa s t o rece i ve no recompense of any kind, ec andoe ac any ac loss fromted if a friendly not d xpt to beh ep r prisoner n should not be forthcoming, b u t h e did e f r e e ( l itnht•. woman)di not know where payment in that case was to come from. - The prisoner'a solicitor contended that these questions were irregular. It was only necessary for him to prove the sufficiency of the bail. _ _ The MAGI;TRATE thought the questions quite proper. One thing aas certain. The parties who now came forward were hired bail. These persons proposed to take upon themselves the responsibility of paying 50/. each out of their property in case the party fur whom they wished to bccome bail should not be forthcoming. Under all circumstances he mu.t have further inquiry- into the character of the bail, and woulc, therefore, adjourn the matter until Saturday. _____ _ THAMES.

PRICE OF SUGAR. The average p r i ce of Brown or Muscovader Sugar, cosh. puted from the returns made in the week ending March 14 1850, is 265. 7: 4 d. per cwt. ATTEMPT TO AlunDEn.—The magistrates of St. Alb . su's have been engaged the fat few days investi. ga!ng a most diabolic a l attempt to murder a policeman in toe neighbourhood of Harpenden, a A Mr. Davies, a f armer, having l Onts i e e T w erT i l ih' f s ow di l a s tan , ha . . desired the police-officer, Richmond, stationed in the neighbourhood, to watch his premises, and on Tuesday night he heard voices whispering in an adjoining lane, and a fluttering of fowls in the farm sheds. The men in the lane, on seeing the constable, ran away, having pre viously given a signal to the persons who were MUT wards found on the farm premises. Richmond rushed into the farm, and, turning his light on, saw three men taking the fowls from their roosts. The officer drew his cutlass, and stationing himself in a door through which they would have to pass, desired them to surrender. They instantly made a fierce attack upon him, and in the struggle the prisoner Jenning and the other two got past him, and apparently fearing that he would follow them, Jenning levelled a pistol at him and fired. Pro videntially it missed him, the ball striking against the brickwork. The whole of the men returned to the place, and proceeded to maltreat the policeman in a most shocking manner by beating an d jumping on his body. They then decamped, and th e co n s t a bl e having recovered to a slight extent, he contrived to crawl to the dwelling and alarm the inmat es . Raving given his brother officers the necessary information of the affray, a man named Richard Jenning was apprehended near St. Alban's on the following day, and a cut, as if from a cutlass, two or three inches in len g th, wa s f oun d on his arm. The magistrates remanded the prisoner, so as to give the police an opportunity of catching the other ruffians. SMALL TENEMENTS.—Yoterday was printed the Bill as amended by the Commit4ee, respecting the rating of small tenements. As it now stands, 61. tenement& are to be rated to the owners in respec; of poor -rate* sad highway rates, instead of to the occupiers. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—A lamentable OMIT.. rence took place iu the family of Mr. Walter Paul i , of liighgrove, near Tetbury, on Wednesday evening. Mr. Patil gave a ball and soiree previous to his son Captain Paul, leaving home t o j o i n h is reg i ment. At about nine o'clock Miss Paul retired from the ball-room, having an attack of tic douleureux; she proceeded upstairs to her own room. It is supposed that she fainted as she pro ceeded from one room to the other, the lighted candle fell from her hand, and her dress, being composed of white lace, rapidly ignited, and the young lady was in stantly enveloped in flames. She endeavoured to ex tinguish the fire by throwing a basin of water over her self, and her screams alarmed the attendants; but we are sorry to say that before their efforts could subdue the flames she was so severely burnt as to leave but faint hopes of her recovery. We have lately received the following additional particulars from a correspondent; —About 11 o'clock on Sunday last she ceasod to live.— Standard. MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.—Yesterday morning a genrral parade of the troops took place at Mount Wise, consisting of the Royal Artillery, under the command of Captain Shuttle-worth, the 28th Regiment, under Major Adams and Major Wheeler, the Royal Marines, under Lieutenant-Colonel Wearing, and the 82d Regi ment under Major Slater. In the absence of the Major- General, the Hon. 1.1. Murray, the command of the garrison devolves at present on Colonel Holloway, R.E. The regiments formed square, o❑ the Parade, and Cor poral Francis Ryan, of the 82d Regiment, who bad been previously tried by general court-martial, for drunken ness and drawing his bayonet on a picquet, was brought forward, and the confirmed sentence of the court was read. lie was found guilty on all the charges, and sen tenced to be reduced to the rank and pay of a private soldier, and to undergo twelve months' imprisonment in the military gaol. The troops having marched past in quick time, returned to the barracks.—Plymouth Journal. A MAYOR IN TROUBLE.—The Journal de rAisne relates the following story, which, it says, will form strong argument iu favour of the new law relative to mayors:—A person in a commune in that department, who was the only grower of hemp in that district, find ing that his property was frequently stolen, stationed himself, with some of his children, in a small building near the grounds in order to detect the thieves. On the night of the 9th inst. he perceived four persons advancing towards the place. Two men immediately began to cut and tie up some of the hemp, whilst two women kept watch. The owner of the property, wishing to show the robbers that he was armed, fired a gun into the air, and then fell on the two men, at the same time uttering loud cries in order to bring assistance. The thieves turned out to he the mayor of the commune and his son, and the women, who had immediately taken to flight, were his two daughters. The men confessed that they had robbed the hemp grounds an two previous occasions. The mayor, it is said, has taken-to flight. John O'Grady, a wealthy farmer in the county of Limerick, has been convicted for the murder of his wile and maid-servant on the Ist of November, 1846, and sentenced to be executed. The murder was particularly remarkable for the total absence of all apparent provo cation. The prisoner first murdered the servant in the stable by stabbing her with a bayonet fixed on a stick, and then killed his wife by discharging two pistols at her while she was in bed. The defence was temporary aberration of mind, but this was not sustained by any evidence. Mathew and William Gavin were convicted at the same USSiZt)S for the murder of John Ryan, at Coppamore, and sentenced along with O'Grady to be executed on the 10th of next month. WuOLESALE AND RETAIL PRICERS OF FLOUR. —The Liverpool correspondent of the Manchester Gualdian says—" The Niagara steamer, which sailed on Saturday, carries out accounts of a decline of Is. 6d. per barrel on American flour, the best old Western Canal having been sold as low as 21s. per barrel of 1961b5. ; and new as low as 18s.—the highest price of our market is now about lid. per lb.; and here allo w me again to allude to the continued discrepancy between wholesale and retail prices. I believe it will be found that the retail price of flour in the bread shops of Lancashire is twopence the lb, or 6 lbs. for 6 shilling, which is equal to 325. 6d. the barrel of 196 lbs., and this generally for a mixed description. The present low prices can hardly be taken as * fair average, but 255. is as high as the article cau be expected to rule in years of plenty. As to the United States, prices have ruled lower there than now, as the following figures will show; but we must bear in mind there the population increases, perhaps in a greater ratio than their means of production:—Ave rage prices of wheat, 601bs. to bushel, 1840, 1 dollar; 1841, 94c. ; 1842, 1 dollar ; i 43, 75c. ; 1844, 89c. ; 1845, 86c. ; 1846, 1.04 ; 1847, 1.33 ; 1848, 1.19 dolls. The nine years give an average of 1 doll, per bushel, or 713. a bushel lower than present prices in New York, 1.15 dolls. S ee i ng, t h ere f ore, the little chancu there is of any considerable change, it is most desirable that retail prices should approximate to whole sale ones, thereby not only increasing the conNumption, but contributing most extensively to the comforts of the people." A JEWISH MIATTR.—It is our painful duty to record a case of martyrdom which but recently occurred in the empire of Morocco. We give the awful details from a private letter which we have seen, received by Mr. Abraham Sebag, a respectable Jewish merchant, re siding in Castle-street, St. Mary-axe, London, whose brother bas fallen a victim to the barbarity of the in habitants of that uncivilized country. It appears that Judah Sebag, a Jewish merchant, who resided in a town called Alig, near Mogador, was maliciously accused of having spoken blasphemy against the Mohammedan faith. The cause of this malice was the jealousy of some Mohammedan merchants. He was dragged before the governor, or, rather, the chief magistrate of the city, whose name is Lcchnsman ben Hassam. The evidence against him having been heard, the sentence of the judge was, that he either must embrace Mohammedanism, or be turned to death. Judah Sebag indignantly refused to deny his religion, and nobly chose the alternative — death. The .governor immediately ordered a large fire t) be made, into which the man was thrown, and soon devoured by the flames, lie was but twenty-four years of age. The letter concludes with the following words of consolation :—" Ile died for the glory and sanctifica tion of his faith and his God, and may his soul be bound up in the bundle of life."—Jewisk Chronicle. A JEW ELECTED AS REPRESENTATIVE FOR HAY ISCRGH IN TIIE ER7I7RT PARLIAMENT.—We are in. t:ebted to a correspondent for the following information received from llamburgh, dated the 16th inst..—The election of a representative for this city to the German parliament now assembled at Erfurt has been decided, the choice of the electors having unanimously fallen on Dr. Gabriel Riesser, the champion of Jewish emancipa tion in Germany, who has agitated this question for 20 years, and has now seen it nearly universally carried s ,a e r n i t iata the nt ; e by • out. It is a remarkable fact, that it i s scarce l y twelve months since the Ihmburgh J ews h ave acqu i red the full the native Jew German is i e i t i i r zen sh ip, and now a representative to but this election is quite in h onour o f the man and his ri i g ty ht as of th e great principles. lie was last year in the Frankfurt Parliament, as member for the dukedom of Lauenburg, and for some time its vice•president; he filled the chair during a long absence of the president in the most critical period, and was one of the delegates to Berlin to offer the imperial crown to the Kingamburg of Prussia. Dr. the Gabriel Riesser is a war d en of 1:1 h Jewish congregetion.—Jewish Chronicle. A CLEVER TRICK..—Larly one morning about a fortnight since a boat was rowed under the Hoe, when the crew hoisted out a chest, not unlike one of those 4. last mansions of mortality," yclept coffins. Some of them proceeded with it towards the town, when a by stander--and, rumour states, attired not unlike a pre ventive man —was asked, Which is the way to the burying-ground in Westwell-street ?" The bystanders, like the Quaker, answered the question by asking an other, " What have you got there ?" The reply was, " Oh, one of our shipmates is gone off, and we are going to bury him !" The road to the burying-ground was then pointed out; but by a dodge the chest was taken to the rail Way station in time for the early train, and in a few brief hours the chest was " far north." Th ose vat, laugh most at the hoax, say the chest was full of cigars, eye, real Havannahs!—Plymouth Journal. FOREIGN FISII—Some very large arrivals of fish, of foreign taking, the production of the Dutch rivers and the North Sea, of various kinds, are at the present time taking place from Rotterdam, amounting, M some ili• SWIM, to several hundred packages.
