THE THORNHILL PARK ESTATE, within a short drive of Southampton, with a PARK and DEMESNE EXTENDING to 220 ACRES, the farms and building-ground connected, alto gether 580 acres. G . EORG . E R ons f O h B e il,N.Sesist the h av l o t ured by the e JAMES BARLOW HOY, Esq., to OFFER to PUBLIC COMPETITION, on the PREMISES, on MONDAY, the sth of May, and Five following Days, at Twelve o'Clock, punctually (when THE ELEGANT PROPERTY THROUGHOUT THE MANSION is to be sold by public competition,) ONE OF THE MOST ELIGIBLE ESTATES IN THE BEAUTEOUS ENVIRONS OF SOUTHAMPTON. The abode is distinguibhed from all its contemporaries in public estimation, and may now, from its close approximation to the CHOSEN SEAT OF ROYALTY, claim to be one OF THE MOST IMPORTANT FEATURES IN HER MAJESTY'S DOMINIONS. It was the favourite abode of JAMES BARLOW HOY, ESQ., who fora lengthened period was THE M.P. FOR SOUTHAMPTON; and it is a fact not to be impeached, that it the new purchaser partakes of his hospitality, and of SOUND POLITICAL CREED, HE WILL WALK OVER THE COURSE WHENEVER THE NEXT ELECT lON ARRIVES." The MANSION is the commanding feature of the vicinity. The late lamented proprietor, in its completion, spared no expense, and unequivocal taste is marked throughout, and it will soon be perceived that luxury and splendour are mixed up with a degree of tact, rarely, if ever, approached. The architectural form is very chaste; the front adorned by six lofty pillars, with a paved gallery, leads to the terrace walk, the shrubberies and the plantations. The entree is by a covered approach. Within the Mansion its ad vantages and capability may be summed up in one short sentence— " NOTHING WHATEVER IS LEFT TO BE DESIRED OR IMAGINED." An East Indian seeking for an appropriate residence in which to prolong his days in the enjoyment of his vast acquisitions, with in creasing health, yet with oriental magnificence; or to a member of " THE ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON," who seeks to unite propinquity to the rendezvous and the comforts of a luxurious home, a residence is here offered combining advantages rarely to be equalled, and certainly nowhere to be surpassed. THE PARK AND THE DOMAIN AROUND IT IS 220 ACRES. to which are to be added the pleasure farms and building-ground connected, forming an aggregate of FIVE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY ACRES. Portions of the estate may be let oft on building leases, at rents producing is. 6d. and 2s. per foot frontage, nod it must be ob served it is quite away from the possibility of interfering with the mansion or its extensive scenery. About 45 acres of the most luxuriant Or and larch plantations, and an equal quantity of valu able land, forming a small farm, are still available for this im portant purpose; and there are 32 acres comprising every variety of hill and dale, with views extending to the Isle of Wight, while the SOUTHAMPTON WATERS AND THE NEW FOREST - - appear close at hand. An experienced landscape gardener of Lc knowledge(' taste represents this to be the most beautiful situation in the southern part cf Hampshire. It is intended to be a positive sale, to which capitalists are invited to become competitors. The estate can be seen only by tickets, to be had of Messrs. H. and R. B. Sewell, solicitors, Newport; of Mr. Robins, at his offices, Covent.garden ; at the Auction Mart; and at the Dolph*, Southampton. THORNIIILL PARK, near SOUTHAMPTON.

TO CAPITALISTS inclined to INVEST in the PURCHASE of a TERRITORIAL ESTATE in FRANCE, producing a RENTAL of 1,2001. PER ANNUM, and secured until the Year 1860, when it will be very considerably augmented. MR. GEORGE ROBINS is favoured with In structions to negctiate the SALE by PRIVATE TREATY of A LANDED INVESTMENT IN FRANCE, I 1 which, from its many and peculiar advantages, both of position, soil, tenure, occupation, and increasing improvement, offers strong temptations to the English capitalist, at the present high price of the funds, to invest with the certainty of 3 per cent, until the year 1860, from which period a very important augmentation may be relied upon THE DOMAIN OF LA BRICHE, IS SITUATED IN TOURAINE, ruly deemed the most luxuriant part of France, where many Eng sish families have taken up their abode, and where numbers of the French nobility possess magnificent chateaux. It is distant about three miles only from the post town of Chateau Lavaliere, twenty seven miles from Tours, twenty-two miles from Saumur, fifty-five miles from Angers, on the right bank of the Loire, being in the department d'lndre et Loire, in the midst of the vine country, IN THE MOST LOVELY PART OF FRANCE, and not far distant frem the railway from Paris to Nantes. The Estate comprises 603 HECTARES, OR 1,483 ENGLISH ARES, of rich cultivated land, divided into gardens, meadow, artificial meadow, arable underwood, and streams ; A MANOR.HOUSE OF SOME PRETENSIONS, with court -yard, numerous f rm.buildings for the improvement of the lands, which with the gardens overspread a surface of more than twenty acres. The Property is let upon lease to a most re sponsib!e farmer, THE PRESENT LOW RENT BEING 1,200/. A-YEAR in consideration of various Outlays for Manuring and Draining, and Security for the due performance of his covenacta and pay. went of the Rent; at the expiration of the Lease AN INCREASE OF MORE THAN ONE-THIRD MAY BE RELIED UPON, not only from the improvement of the soil, but from the unusual growth of the Timber and Underwood. In addition to the advantages of superior roads and avenues con nected with the property, it possesses within itself the attraction of (which, to an Englishman fond of field spor►s, will not be lost sight of), EXCELLENT HUNTING, SHOOTING, and FISH. ING ; and whenever the Proprietor with his Family desires to re side in the Manor House, the Tenant is bound to supply Furniture, Linen, PlateyFruit, and Vegetables. The facilities now afforded for travelling, and which will shortly reach an equally important character in France, renders this property equally eligible with any, the most favoured, in this country for the purpose of investment, especially when the attraction of situation will, as ' a matter of pleasure and profit, tempt an annual visit, Mr. Robins will be most happy to render every information re. specting this fine property upon application to him in Covent. harden. FIVE MILES. THE PARK-LIKE GROUNDS PRETTILY TIMBERED, and beautifully wooded, are scattered around in pleasing negligence, and the Mansion is seated under the fostering wings of the ancient church, its close ally. There are prolific gardens, lawn, and plea. sure grounds, which will not be the worse for a tact in restor ing them to their pristine state. Mr. Robit.s, in pursuing his undeviating course of candour, desires it to be understood that, although a considerable outlay has taken place, much remains to be done, and a lady gifted with tact and juJgment would agreeably employ a little of her leisure in decorating the interior. The situation is really very picturesque, and quite beautiful, to which may be appended THE MANORS OF GREAT EXTENT AND PROFIT, MANORIAL RIGHTS, PRIVILEGES, AND lIIMUNI. TIES, THE ROYALTIES, AND ALL ITS CONSEQUENTIAL ADVANTAGES; independently of which, a court is held annually to receive a con siderable income from the FINES AND QUIT-RENTS, WHICH ARE ARBITRARY. THE VALUABLE FREEHOLD DOMAIN EXTENDS TO SIX HUNDRED AND FIFTY-TWO ACRES of first-rate pasture, meadow, corn, and turnip lands, lying in a complete ring.flince, divided into SIX SNUG AND VERY COMPACT LITTLE FARMS, with suitable buildings and good tenants, who will all bebut too happy to continue at the present low rental. The portion milet with the Manor House, is 77 acres, including the park and pleasure_ grounds, woods, and plantations. The annual produce and value will approach FIFTEEN HUNDRED POUNDS A YEAR. The appearance of the estate should be seen to be properly appre ciated ; nothing throughout the country can look better, or prove more authoritatively the superiority of the soil. And THE WOODLAND SCENERY " " ' is so very beautifuT;itat.nOthing in the vicinity can be assimilated to it. The distance from London, although 80 miles, is reduced to a three or four hours' ride by the Eastern Counties Rail road. The markets are everywhere excellent. Lots of Wick earth, with a kiln on the property well secluded, indeed the property is so full of advantages, that although Mr. Robins has taxed his in genuity, it has really been in vain to find an opportunity to teduct the slight colouring he has given to the landscape, and he concludes by confidently recommending it as one of the safest investments in the county.

Clement, Esq, At the last quinquennial meeting there was added a bonus to the Life Policies equal to 25 per cent. on the sums paid, and a bonus of 5 per 'cent. to the Shares, in addition to the payment of the annual interest. For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a specific sum, without a prospective bonus, a new table at lower rates has been calculated, on which, as well as on the participating scale, one-half the premium may remain on interest at 5 per cent. for five years, thus enabling a person to insure his life for 1,0001. on the immediate payment of the premium for 500/. only. The following are the annual Premiums for the Assurance of 1001. for the whole Life, one-half of which may remain for five years by merely paying the interest annually at five per cent.; and should the Policy become a claim in the Interim, the amount due will then be deducted.

Insurances may be effected for any periol of time ; if for seven years, the Premium and Duty will only be charged for six. March 20, 1845. JOHN BIGG, Secretary.

T HE MONSTER BELL FOR YORK MINSTER CASHEDRAL. No doubt, gentle reader, you've lately heard tell Of the size and t e weight of the " York Minster Bell". This bell, which was cast by the famed Messrs. Mears, Is upwards of twelve tons in weight it appears ; And eighteen strong horses are needed to draw The " Monster," whose equal your eye never saw. When we think of this Bell and its number of tone, We cannot help wishing 'twere MOSES and SONS'. For 'tis certainly stilted remarkably well To ring for that house which has long " borne the Bell." Its sound, which is doubtless a powerful one, Is just the right thing for E. MOSES and SON. How loud could it speak with its ponderous clapper Of a beautiful " Frock," or a " Vest," Or a " Wrapper," With the rest of that choice summer dress, which discloses The taste and the elegant fashion of MOSES. Another fit use might be made of this Bell, By letting it toll competition's sad " knell." For all competition must quickly " expire" Since MOSES and SON have provided attire. No tradesman in Europe can ever excel E. MOSES and SON, who have long " borne the Bell."

This Railway will establish a most desirable line of communication between London, Dover, Salisbury, Yeovil, and the West of England, traversing In its course many wealthy, populous pd Important districts. It will commence at the Reigate-station on the Dover and Brighton Railways, and pass by Dorking and Guildford to Basingstoke. From thence it will proceed by Whitchurch, Andover, and Salisbury, to Yeova. By whichmeans the connexion between the East and West Coasts of England will he complete. • A further and most important feature of the undertaking is, that by using the line of the South Western Railway from London to Basingstoke, it will bring Salisbury and Yeovil into an entirely direct line of communication with the Metropolis. The distaim from London to Salisbury will be about 50 miles, an to Yeovil 120 miles. It will also unite four of the principal Railways in the kingdom ; viz., the Dover, Brighton, South-Western, and Great Western, and at the same time will most materially aid communication between, the ports of Dover, Shoreham, Portsmouth, Southampton and Bristol, a most desirable object in a - national point of view. A reference to the accompanying map will manifestly prove that few Railways in the kingdom will form a medium of communication with a greater aggregate of wealthy, populous, and important places. Ily it, Salisbury, Saerborne, Yeovil, Bath and Bristol, Bradford, Trowbridge, Frome, Guildford, Farnham, Basingstoke, :Whitchurch, Andover, Weyhill with its extensive fair, Shaftesbury, Milborne Port, S tal bridge, and Ilchester, with the numerous smaller towns and villages iu their vicinity, will be brought into immediate connexion with each other, rendering the undertaking eminently calculated to promote the convenience of the public, and certain to yield a large return to its proprietors. The country to be traversed will, as has been ascertained from ac tual surveys, admit of the construction of the Railway at a moderate cost. The portions yet to be formed will comprise the country be tween Reigate and Salisbury, about 76 miles (less about 11 miles proposed to be used of the South Western Railway), and that between Salisbury and Yeovil about 40 miles, making the entire length of the line yet to be constructed no more than 105 miles.

Church Farm, Barton Stacey, near Andover Railway Station, Hants, October 26, 1844. Sir,—l cannot help expressing my astonishment in the effect I have experienced in taking your Pills for the Gout. I was taken on Thurs day night so severely with it as to be with difficulty able to get out of my bed, and alter I arose I h ad severe pains, followed on with in flammation of the foot increasing . I took thre e of your P ills, and within two hours I found the pain to entirely cease. I afterwards took two Pills at a dose twice in the da y , and I am, thank God, this morning able to walk without the sli g htest inconv enience. I found in a previous very severe attack very great relief ; I had the pains list my knees and thighs so very severe at that time, I thought I inust have died, and that it must have gone into my stomach. At that time I had resort to your Pills, and they relieved me—within two hours I was quite easy. The use of these Pills ought, really, to be known all over the world. I have a brother, a young man, that suffers horribly with it, and his greatest relief and preventive has been your Pills. Make what use you please of my report.-1 ours truly and respectfully, WILLIAM COURTNEY. Amung the many discoveries that characterise the present age, none have contributed so much to the comfort and ease of the community, nor conferred such a boon upon suffering humanity, as the iinpor taut discovery of BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS, ho efficacy of which has been tested by the approval and recom mendation of many of the greatest men of our day.

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT TO THE REV. ROBERT MONTGOMERY.—The congregation of Percy chapel have recently pyesented to their beloved minister a purse of 2001. as a mark, not only of their affec tionate respect, but as an expression of their wish that his means should be more nary related to his talents and real, than the income afforded to him by the occupa• tion of sittings in Percy Chapel, ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. I\ ORTHERN CIRCUIT. —Liverpool, March 27. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice COLTMAN.) Charles Ihinerworfh was indicted for bigamy. Mr. Greene conducted the case for the prosecution. . The prisoner, who was, it appeared, an old soldier, had been married in the year 1810. He subsequently entered the army, and was in service for a number of years. Afterwards he returned to Middleton, and then, in 1839, was married to a person of the name of Betty Creer. It was proved that at the time he was aware of his former wife being alive, and residing with her father. To one of her relatives he stated, that though he would not again live with her, he would not allow her to lice quietly whae she then was. Betty Creer, the second wife, in her examination. stated that she was aware that the prisoner was a mar ried man, but that he had told her " his servitude being so long, and his wife not sending, would clear him." When called on fur his defence he said " My Lord, I beg for mercy; twenty .five years in the army, all but a month or two, is the occasion of it." His Lonnsnie, in summing up, said that the prisoner had been under a misapprehension in point of law. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, recommending him to mercy, on the ground of the second wife being aware of the former marrriage. Sentence—to be imprisoned for one month. Thomas Ellis was indicted for having, at Manchester, committed a rape on Mary Ann Wade, his step-daughter, an interesting young female, only a little above 15 years of age. Mr. Brandt appeared for the prosecutien ; and Mr. Wilkins defended the prisoner. The details of this case are not tit for publication. Mr. WILK/NS addressed the jury for the prisoner in an energetic speech. He relied strongly on the circum stance that there were no signs manifest of the girl having suffered violence, and that this case presented none of those evidences of force having been used, without which it would be unjust to convict the prisoner. He made no doubt that the girl had, in fact, complained to her mother only because she was aware of her brother being awake, and expected that he would tell her mother of what had taken place. The prisoner was found Guilty, and sentenced to be transported for life. WESTERN CIRCUIT.—Bodmin, March 27. - Owing to the press of business at Exeter, Mr. Justice Erie did not arrive here till Tuesday evening, and ➢ir. Justice Coleridge did not come into the town till Wed nesday evening. The Commission wa,s opened by Mr. Justice Erle, who charged the grand jury, and sat in the ,riininal Court on Wednesday. There is very little to be done in the Crown Court, there being only 25 prisoners for trial. This is accounted for from the fact that the magistrates held their quar ter sessions in this place but a very short time since. There are nine causes to be tried, of which ono is a special jury. Mr. Justice Coleridge presides in the Crown Court, and Mr. Justice Erle on the Civil side. NORFOLK ClRCUlT.—Cambridge, - March 25. (Before Mr. Justice PATTESON.) John Harris, aged 13, W^S indicted fur 'feloniously killing William Clarke Manchet, at Upwell. Mr. Couch prosecuted, and Mr. Tozer defended the prisoner. It appeared from the evidence of a little girl of seven years of age, who gave her testimony with singular clear ness, that she, the prisoner, and the deceased, a boy of nine years of age, were riding in a cart ; that the pri soner coaxed the deceased to the edge of a brook, and then pushed him in, but that they had not been quar relling. There was some evidence that the boys were playing together, and that the falling into the water was accidental. Mr. TozEa submitted that the deceased, who was an illegitimate child, whose father's name was Clarke, and whose mother's name was Manchet, was improperly de scribed as William Clarke Manchet, the evidence show ing that he was sometimes called Clarke, and sometimes Manchet. Ilis LORDSHIP, however,lintimated that there was a scin tilla of evidence, that the name in the indictment had been acquired by reputation, and requested tha jury to say on what ground they acquitted, if they should acquit. The jury acquitted on the merits. March 26. ARSON.—lsaac Arnold, aged 18, and Frederick Bahrch aged 18, were charged with hiving set fire to a stack of straw, the property of Mr. Bland, of Fordham. Mr. Prendergast prosecuted ; Mr. Gurdon defended the prisoners. The stack had apparently been set on fire by means of lighted turf carried to it in an old coffee-pot. The chief evidence against the prisoner Bantiek consisted of statements he had made at various times respecting the fire ; but, strange to say, that although he had nearly admitted his guilt to several persons, they did not make known what he had said until a month or two had elapsed, when he was in custody. The evidence against Bantick was much weaker than against the other pi t- oner. It appeared in evidence that Bantick had been seen in company with Arnold and some young women at a public-house on the night of the fire, and that the pri soners went away together. They were subsequently seen together by a Mrs. Banyard near her house, which house had been attempted to be fired, and also by another person; and before the constable had told Ban tick what the charge was against him, he had said to him, " I think I can guess what for ; that man Arnold will hang half the town." He had also said to the con stable, while they were going to the magistrates, " Ar nold, he understood, had been saying that the fire was in consequence of some spite he (Bantick) had against Bland." Against Arnold the evidence was his saying, on the evening of the fire, "lie would have a good flare up, and make all Fordham smoke before morning." Arnold had also said, a fortnight before his arrest, that he was " unsettled;" and on being asked what for, he replied, " About the fire." In another casual con versation he said, "You want to transport me about Bland's fire ; but I don't care a about it." There was also some evidence to show that Bantick had once been guilty of an assault on another labourer, and that the prosecutor had ordered a prosecution to be com menced against him. There was also a detailed account by Arnold to one of the witnesses that he and Bantick went out with turf ashes in a coffee-pot, and set fire to the stack ; first of all attempting to fire the thatch of the house of Mrs. Banyard. Mr. GURDON addressed the jury for the prisoners. The Learned JUDGE, in summing up the case to the jury, stated that the admissions made by Arnold must be shut out from their minds as it respected Bantick, and that they must consider whether both or either of the prisoners were guilty. The jury found Arnold Guilty, and Acquitted Bantick. Mr. Justice PATTESON sub :equently sentenced Arnold and the other prisoners found guilty of arson. In doing so, he stated there was no palliation for the crime of arson. The hungry man might have a show of excuse in committing a crime that would furnish him the means of satisfying the cravings of nature ; but to commit this crime there must be a malicious evil-disposed mind, for it would not bring bread to:a hungry man, but in its consequences must necessarily throw numbers out of employment, and prevent their gaining an honest liveli hood, thus directly injuring the labourer, besides spread ing terror and dismay around. There must have been some motive actuating the prisoner?, but in no case was there more than a show of malice proved. Ia conclusion, the Learned Judge said, that he should punish the pri soners with a hope that their punishment would deter others, and should sentence each of them to twenty years' transportation. James Young, 22, and John Moore, 21, were indicted for having assaulted Alfred Morgan, one of the police force of the borough of Cambridge. Mr. Naylor prosecuted, and Mr. Leaping defended. The jury found both the prisoners Guilty. The Learned JUDGE said his duty was to protect policemen, and he should therefore sentence the pri soners to nine months' hard labour. This case terminated the assize for the county of Cam bridge, and the Learned Jukes will proceed to-morrow morning to Bury St. Edmund's, and open the Commission for the county of Suffolk. Bury Si. Edmund's, March 27. The Commission for the county of Suffolk was opened this afternoon, and the Learned Judges afterwards attended Divine service at St. Mary's Church. The Courts will be opened for the dispatch of business at an early hour to-morrow. Ttse calendar contains the names of 36 prisoners, the offences of whom may be thus classed :—Manslaughter, 1 ; arson, 13 ; sending threatening letter, 1 ; maliciously wounding, 4 ; rape, 1 ; burglary, 6 ; night poaching, 2; highway robbery, 4. The remaining cases appear at present to be of the ordinary character of charges. The cause list is expected to be lighter than usual. HOME ClRCUl7l—Kingston, March 27. CROWN COURT.—(Before Air. Baron ALDERSON.) Two men, named Richard Wood and Thomas Jones, were arraigned this morning upon an indictment charg ing them with a burg'ary in the dwelling-house of James Carpenter, and stealing some silver spoons, and other articles, his property. The case was clearly made out against both prisoners, who are notoriously bad characters, but while the evi dence was going on one of the prisoners was seen to be fumbling with his hand in his po cket, which being ob served by Maynard, the gaoler , he laid hold of his hand, and upon examining his pocket he found a large stone in it, which was of course immediately taken away from him. The other prisoner was then searched, and t wo stones were also found in his pocket. There is very little doubt, from what . subsequently took pl ace , th e pri soners meditated some serious mischief with these mis siles, if they had not been discovered in th e i r p ossess i o n. The jury having returned a verdict of Guilty, Mr. Baron ALDERSON sentenced Wood, who appeared to be the worst of the two, to be transported for life, and [the other for fifteen years. The moment the sentence was pronounced the pri soners began to abuse bis Lordship in the most gross LIABILIT Y OF THE PRESS. Our columns of yesterday furnish another proof of the enormous risk, or rather certainty, of expense en tailed by a faithful record and investigation of daily occurrences. It is our contract with the public, and one which they expect to see discharged to the letter, to state every event of any interest or consequence that the day may bring forth, and, inasmuch as mere insulated facts are mere gossip, it is part of our contract to state them in their most probable and most profitable con nexion. The moment we confined ourselves to a mere registration of calamity, the public would specdily ob serve, " There is no speculation in thine eye," and transfer their patronage to those who endeavoured to fulfil the just expectations of rational men, and who commented on disaster with a view to obviate its recur- rence. Yet many disasters arc obviously of that sort, that it is impossible to trace them and account f o r them, individuals. without criminating The moment you touch on a cause, you elicit the human deft ndant._ Somebody finds himself at the bar of the public, who may very probably find it easier to . show th a t an allegation has been made without irresistible proof, than that it is utterly without foundation.. As we are expected to be perfect, it is useless to hint at the chance of error in some hundreds of new communications every twenty-four hours. We will just mention a case or two to illustrate the unavoidable ne- cessity of implicating human agents, and interfering with . particular interests. We ha►e been absolutely - obliged to show up the abominations of the Spa-field's burial-ground. That cxpcsure has been ruinous to the lessees, who arc now adding only two or three bodies a Sunday to their mass of putrefaction, instead of 30 or 40. If we do but extract from a blue bock the account of a row of houses built in wanton disregard of the rules of decency and heakh, of course we 'injure that property; and though Parliament cannot ch wrong, the press, which records its proceedings, can. An agricul tural meeting the other day reso:ved that the present murrain came in with the foreign cattle. Had we thought that opinion probable, we should have said so, and thereby done a mischief to the importers, perhaps themselves the breeders. The press has published • much information on the rot in sheep, very useful to farmers generally, but very pry judicial to the name of certain districts oflasturarr b e. The cider of certain counties Las been d e no unced for the lead it had acquired from the cisterns, and that publicity has secured a better mode of preparation. Many writers have brought various charges against the several water companies. M'Culloch, for example, says, after some body else, that none of them do as much to purity their water as they might do, and ought to do. This of course is a statement likely to tiff, et their custom and their dbl. (lends. We are occasionally obliged, in our account of the mat kets, to designate the butchers who sell unsound meat, and the fishmonwrs who offer unseasonable fish. And of course in many instances w o are obliged to be content, not with an ex pal to statement, but a state ment on one respectable authority. Now, then, to the case in question. The member of a respectable house in the City brings to our office information of the utmost im . . . portance, and which he has had the best opportunity of learning correctly. Through the medium of their mother, with whom he resides, be is in daily domestic communica tion with two gentlemen who havejust arrived from India, and who are both suffering a very serious and very re markable complaint, which, in common with the rest of their fellow-passtngers, they ascribe to some water shipped from a floating tank at St. Helena. Their pe culiar symptoms first sh.)wed themselves after touching at that island—they seemed to indicate metallic poison, and could be ascribed to no other cause. Either mis- intbrmed, or accounting for the impurity of the tank water by a hasty hypothesis of his own, lie adds that the tank was cop/wed—a circumstance which, of course, while it made the whole statement less literally true, made it also more credible. He adds other minute ex- planatory details. With the facts, the sufferers, the symptoms, the authority, all so prompt, so recent, so unexceptionable, there really was no alternative but to accept the statement, if important enough. But its importance was incalculabe. There is nothing of a material nature over which a State exer- cises .o jealous - a control as water. It is. most delicately susceptible of deleterious admixtures or infec tions, aiul then becomes death instead of life. At all our ports at home we take every possible care to provide pure water for our shipping. So, publishing, as a journal does, every wreck, every new-discovered shoal, every impediment as well as every assistance to naviga tion, we could not but insert a letter which merely re lated an unforeseen result without throwing real blame on any party. We will answer for it that no person; nct otherwise informed as fo the facts of the case, read that announcement without a startling sensation of its vast importance, and without also a feeling of gratitude to the means which had given it publicity. Immediately on the appearance of the letter, we receive a peremptory request to do what no journalist could do either wisely or honourably—what would put an end to all freedom of communication, to publicity and truth itself—to give up . the nami k of the wliter, without it ,being at first even pretende - d thattlie - had said anything for which he should be particularly answerable. We observe our own ne s cessary rules, and decline. Meanwhile our authority finds himself in error as to the ownership of the tank, and writes to correct his statement, but certainly bring ing the cause, not the blame, more expre sly home to the true owner. On the same day we are visited with a lawyer's letter, informing us now for the first time that the tank was not copper, and demanding the tame of our correspondent, aith a view to legal proceedings. Our reply is twofold, and comprehends all the sati fac tion that justice could possibly require. We offer to give the name of our correspondent, on a guarantee that we shall be thereby absolved from the responsibility of his statement ; and, at the same time, we publish an analysis of the water, which proves its entire freedom from copper in any form. Most of our readers would probably conclude, on the appearance of this document, that the original statement or surmise offered by Nauticus" had entirely fallen to the ground, and that there was no party which could feel itself any further aggrieved Far from it. In common apprehensions, the question had ended ; in the hands of agents and lawyers, the case had only begun. The grievance is duly fostered and brought to a trial. What now does the trial add to our own immediate contradiction of our correspondent's error, contained in the result of the analysis ? Nothing. All the other facts of the case are proved, and more added. By the testimony of [all, even by the reluctant testimony of the Captain, it appears that, soon after taking in two hundred pounds' worth of water, wine, and other provisions, at St. Helena, the passengers, till then in improved health, were attacked, as the Chief Justice expresses it, "certainly in a very remarkable manner." They all conceived their symptoms to be metallic; they did not refer it to Sindc, to a stray Arab, to a few oranges, to sleeping on the deck, but to something peculiar,with them, in the ship—something in their diet—in fact, they appear to have had no doubt whatever that it was in the water. True, the water was filtered, bat what process of filter ing will avail against chemical solution? They thought of lead and of iron, and very naturally included copper in their suspicions. But why is it so unpardonable to think of copper ? Is there a moral gradation in metals ? The Lord Chief Justice adds his powerful authority to the opinion, that something remained to be accounted for beyond the reach of oranges :—" I confess, if I were to hasard a conjecture upon this point, I should say that probably the free, and perhaps the careless, use of mer cury, with the addition, probably, of drink and some de gree of imprudence, may have induced the disease with which they were attacked." We only inserted and immediately disproved a statement that a copper tank was at the bottom of this mysterious visitation ; the Lord Chief Justice ascribes it to the carelessness of the doctor and the intem perance of the passengers. For; our part, we canno see why the tank-owners' interest should be more in violable than the Doctor's, especially as it appears that the latter is in a scrape already, and will feel all the more weight of a fresh charge. For the mere difference be tween mercury and copper—mercury still persisted in, and propounded from the seat of justice —copper stated in a moment of misapprehension, and at once disowned —we are condemned to pay 5001. to redress the injured reputation of this unlucky tank ; and everybody knows the additional ,tail of expense that verdict carries. Meanwhile there is not an atom of evidence to show that our correspondent, and the whole body of passen gers, may not have been, after all, nearer the truth than the mercurial Chief Justice. Mr. Solomons' wine is not vindicated from lead, or his provisions from other possi ble ills. Perhaps time will show that his tank ought to have been charred, as water-barrels usually are in the navy. Throughout the east, and all warm climates, there is a well-founded prejudice against tanks, which are never used but from necessity. A few years may vindicate us, and show the sacred value of impartial, un flinching publicity ; but meanwhile we are martyrs.— Times. It is not geuerally known that the Bank of Eng land have recently entered into an arrangement by which all the persons on the establishment are allowed leave of absence once every year, the holyday varying in length according to the length of service. To carry out this plan, the whole number of persons is divided into four portions, and each of these four portions takes the vacation in one of the four periods of the year that follow the payment of the dividends and precede the shutting, these being the periods in which the least busine:s is done. co complete is the system, that the parties who take their holyday in the spring quarter one year, take it in the summer quarter in the year following, and so on through all the four, that one may not have an unfair advantage over the other. The shortest holyday, we understand, is about nine days, and the longest about three weeks.— Times. How TO PREDICT THE WEATHER. —Many rules for predicting the characteristics of forthcominc , seascns have from time to time been put forth. The following forthcoming we have from an intelligent farmer, who has made the weather his study for twenty years past:—" Observe the wind," says he, 4. when the sun crosses the equinoctial line, about the 30th of March and the 12th of Septem ber. If the prevailing wind be in an easterly direction s a dry season will follow ; if in the west or south west, the succeeding season will be distinguished by rain. I have remarked this for years, and by noting it have been enabled to predict the weather with an accuracy that has surprised many.—Brigiton Herald.
