On the Ist of May next, THE ILLUMINATED MAGAZINE will be issued as a Bound Volume, without extra charge. The issuing of a Magazine in bound volumes monthly will remove the great objection to periodical publications when sent out in paper covers. They are always unsightly, are frequently lost by being scat tered about, and give an appearance of carelessness and neglect to the drawing-room or library table, where neatness and elegance of arrangement are so desirable. The plan on which the New Series of the ILLUMINATED MAGA ZINE will be issued will obviate these objections ; it will furnish every month, to the book-case or library, A HANDSOME BOUND VOLUME, (Price One Shilling and Sixpence) in small Svo., which will be enriched with the best Artistic and Li terary talent of the day. Volume IV. of the Old Series, containing the last Six Months' Parts, is now ready, handsomely bound in cloth, gilt, price I Is.

We ask, who would have done even a tithe of this for nothing ? None. But al though the ingredients of the medicine are concealed— and we have seen , that their concealment is essential to the final triumph of the Hygeian cause—that system re veals what qualities any substance must possess in order to its being medicinal, viz , a vegetable purgative, and thus enables all who acquaint themselves with its prin ciples, to know what is hurtful and not curative. Who ever therefore puts himself to the trouble to examine the vocabulary of the old school, will see that the prin cipal things denominated medicines there, are possessed or qualities at irreconcilable war with the health and the life of man.

MAX WELL, ESQ., AUTHOR OF " THE LIFE OF WELLINGTON," &c.--Mr. Maxwell here ushers before the public a work which is likely to attain as great a popularity as his " Stories of Waterloo." The arduous struggle in the Peninsula, from the opening action of Race, to the crowning victory at Toulouse, may be found, in most of its important occurrences, faithfully described in these volumes ; which consist of narratives descriptive of the glorious and protracted contest for the most part from the pens of the gallant actors who took a prominent part in the war, and who have pourtrayed the stirring events that successively took place under their own immediate observation. Such records of British valour and daring, although sometimes as it were constituting the episodes of the war, and therefore not detailed in any history of the period, must prove cordially welcome to every one who rejoices in the name of Englishman. MAIDS OF HONOUR. A TALE OF THE COURT OF GEORGE I.—Everybody (says the Court Journal) will talk about this work--everybody must read it. It is a succession of amusing scenes, introductory of the extraordinary characters, male and female, that figured at the Cou r t s an d i n the councils of George the First and of his hopeful son and heir. The wits, the profli gates, the intriguers, the creatures of both sexes, famous and infamotts, including the pair of what his Royal Highness used to call the " dam antiderluvian grocko dies, der Schulenberg and der Kielmansegge," are brought upon the stage in a lively manner, and made to play off their vices, their follies, their eccentricities, and their amours, to the infinite amusement of the reader. " The beautiful Molly Lepel" is the principal heroine of these tableaux, and her abductions, her flirtations, her hair-breadth 'stapes before she finds a refuge in the arms of " Hervey the Handsome," are sufficient to sa tisfy any appetite for amorous adventure. SINGULAR OCCURRENCE.—A few days ago six lambs belonging to a gentleman in the neighbourhood of Notting. ham had their eyes picked out by crows.—Doncaster Chronicle. DISGRACEFUL HOAX.—Yesterday morning, be tween two and three o'clock, the following disgraceful hoax was played off on a lady of the name of Mitchelson, residing in .'Nutford-place, Bryanston-square. At the above-men tioned hour several medical gentlemen arrrived in cabs, and others on foot, at the residence of Mrs. M. , for the pur pose of tendering their aid to her, having been requested by two young gentlemen, who had a short tim e previously called on them, to come immediately to the residence of Miss M., who, they stated, had attempted suicide by swal lowing a quantity of laudanum. On t he first edical gen tleman aniving, he was assured that he must be labouring ruder a mistake, as no such occurrence had taken place, and he quitted. In less than five minutes afterwards no less than four others arrived, and from the commencement to the end upwards of a dozen, who had been dragged from their beds, to their great inconvenience, and also annoyance of Mrs. M. The conduct ofthe parties connected with the hoax is so highly reprehensible that they merit the severest pe nalty of the law. INQUEST ON Mu. GRlEVE.—Yesterday Mr. Carter held an inquest on the body of Mr. John Henderson Grieve, of Maizentoie-square,. Peckham, artist, father of Messrs. Grieve, the scene-painters, who was found lying in the street, and taken to the Lambeth police-station, who, it was supposed, had been intoxicated; but it turned out that he was in an apoplectic fit, and he died in a short time. It was shown that the deceased was a remarkable abstemious man, and the jury returned a verdict accordingly. THE SCOTCH BANKS. At a meeting of Scotch Peers, Peers connected with Scot.- land, and representatives of Scotland, held at the Clarendon Hotel on Saturday, the 12th of April, the Duke of Hamilton in the chair— Present--The Duke of Hamilton, - the Duke of Montrose, the Marquis of Breadalbane, the Earl of Eglintoun, the Earl of Rosebery, the Ea r l o f M ora y, th e E ar l o f Mansfield, Vis count Strathallan, Lord Gray, Lord Colville, Lord Cranstoun, Lord Belhaven, Lord Rolle, Lord Kinnaird, Lord Polwarth, Lord Rossmore, Lord Campbell, Lord Dalmeny (M.P. for Stirling, &c. ), the Right Hon.

Morrison (M.P. for Inverness, &c.), Mr.'E. El lice, jun. (MY. for St. Andrews, &c.) — It was moved by the Earl of Eglintoun, seconded by Mr. Fox Maule, and unanimously resolved— " 1. That this meeting consider that experience has proved that the present system of banking in Scotland is eminently suited to the wants, and has adapted itself to the habits and a iil re t:m oy al ete aff p a e i n r d. s, of everyclass of the people of that country ";_ that the rapid increase of th e i r wea lth and prosperity is mainly attributable t o it, an d th a t on i ts continuance they , "2. That this meeting view with anxiety and alarm every proposal to disturb a system of banking which, during the long period of its existence, has been productive of the most beneficial effects, and against which no well-founded com plaint has been made; and they solemnly protest against and earnestly deprecate any change which may affect its prin ciple or injure its operation. "3. That a deputation, consisting of the Duke of Hamil ton, the Duke of Montrose, the Marquis of Breadalbane, the Earl of Eglintoun, the Earl of Rosebery, the Earl of Mans field, the Right Hon. Fox Maule, Sir Hugh Campbell, Bart.; Mr. Home Drummond, Mr. Oswald, Mr. David Dundas, and Mr. Lockhart, be appointed to convey in person these reso lutions to Sir R. Peel." To the above resolutions the following representatives of Scotland in the House of Commons have adhered :—Lord J. F. Halyburton (M,P. for Forflushire), Mr. H. Bantle (M.P. for Inverness-shire), the Hon. E. Bouverie (M.P. for Kilmarnock, &c,), Mr. G. Traill (M.P. for Caithness-shire), Sir T. B. Hepburn (M.P. for Haddingtonshire), Mr. T. Mac kenzie (M.P. for Ross and Cromartie). Yesterday morning, between twelve and one o'clock, a fire was discovered raging in one of the upper apartments of Lane's Hotel, St. Alban's-place, Regent street, which is chiefly occupied by single gentlemen. For tunately, the timely discovery made by one of the gentle men lodging in the establishment saved the premises, which are very extensive, from total destruction. The County Fire-office engine, under the direction of Mr. Garwood, was promptly on the spot, and succeeded in confining the flames to one room, the greater part of the furniture in which was destroyed. The cause of the fire cannot be satisfactorily ascertained. We believe Mr. Lane is insured. THE PRISONER MOCKER.—Since Monday the pri soner has been busily engaged in writino, though the nature of the subject has not transpired. N o change has taken place in his manner, if we except a restless desii e to learn the opinion of the public as to his defence. Since Monday numerous applications have been made to the officials for per mission to see the prisoner, amongst which might be men tioned the names of several persons of distinction. In every instance they have been refused. All sorts of means have been adopted by the applicants, and the turnkeys posi tively state they-do not remember so many inquiries since the trial of Oxford. The prisoner, upon being visited upon the last occasion by his friends, exhibited a greater degree of reserve than he has ever done since his imprisonment, and there was anything but that cordiality which has hitherto marked his conduct towards them. In the course of yesterday he was visited by the Rev. Mr. Davis, of whose kindness he speaks very strongly to the persons appointed to watch him. MARINE SOClETY.—Yesterday, according to an nual custom, the boys belonging to this institution, 72 in number, including their boatswain and mates were regaled with a good substantial dinner, at the Society's office, in Bishopsgate-street ; after which they proceeded on their usual perambulation, accompanied by the officers of the establishment, displaying their banners, and the drummers and fifers of the school enlivening them with merry tunes. After visiting the India House, Royal Exchange, Somerset House, Buckingham Palace, and the Admiralty, at each of which they gave three hearty cheers, they returned to the Society's office, when they were again furnished with a sub stantial repast. THE DEAL BOATMEN.—Another dreadful wreck on the Goodwin Sands, which, but for the meritorious and intre pid conduct of the Deal boatmen, must have been attended with loss of life, occurred on Sunday last. About noon on that day, while blowing a strong gale from south-west, with thick weather and rain, a schooner was observed to strike upon the outer part of the sand. The Deal men immediately launched to her assistance, and succeeded, after great exertion and re gardless of their own risk, in getting alongside. She proved to be the Facility, of Salcombe, Richard Way master, from Shields, laden with coals, and with a crew of six hands. The vessel was then striking heavily, the sea breaking over her, anil it was doubtful if she could hold together long; they however, boarded her, and tried every means that courage and experience could suggest to get her off,but at this moment the chain parted, the water being up to the cabin floor, and they, seeing that the lives of all were in imminent danger, at great risk again suc ceeded in getting their boat alongside, and providentially saving the crew, for in less than five minutes after they had left the vessel she capsized and went down. The crew were brought on shore, and by the kindness of Mr. Hammond, the agent for shipping, were supplied with necessaries, and for warded to their homes; but the Deal men, who, at the risk of their lives, saved those of their poor fellow-creatures, re ceive no other recompense than what the consciousness of having done a humane and meritorious action naturally im parts; for, unfortunately, there exists no fund out of whi c h they can be compensated; and it often happens, as in this case, that they who have perilled their own lives to save others, go altogether unrewarded, unless the benevolence of the. humane and affluent is appealed to in their behalf. DARING BURGLARY AND EXTENSIVE ROBBERY AT COSSINGTON, NEAR LEICESTER.—Between four and five o'clock on Wednesday morning last information was received at the County Police-office, Leicester, that the house of the Rev. J. Babington, of Cossington, about a mile and a half from the Sileby station of the Midland Counties Railway, had been broken open a few hours previously, and property exceeding the value of 1,200/. had been stolen. It appears that Tuesday, the day preceding the robbery, was the usual day for Mr. Babington to receive his rents, and also those of some property for which he is trustee ; and that Mr. Wool ley, his steward, had been transacting business with the tenants during the day, and had retired to bed at the same time as Mr. Babington and his family, taking the cash-box containing the money he had received with him to his bed-room. A little before two o'clock on Wednesday morning Mrs. Babington was alarmed by hearing a noise, as if an attempt was being made to break open the house. door, and in a few minutes afterwards the whole family were startled by a tremendous crash, the thieves being unable, it seems, to force the door, having procured a ladder from an adjoining out-house, and dashed in the first window of the staircase, breaking several large tree -pots, which stood in the window, with the ladder. Mr. Babington, on hearing the crash, ran down stairs, armed with a bludgeon, and on arriving at the top of the first flight of stairs, found five men, disguised, with their faces blackened, and who had just entered by the window. Believing that, from their numbers, resistance would be useless, Mr. Babington went into his study, and locked himself in. The robbers then entered Mrs. Babiagton's bed-room, and asked for the keys, saying they had come for the rent." Mrs. Babington told them she had not got it, upon which, after taking a gold watch from under her pillow, they proceeded to the study, and burst open the door, shattering the door and door-posts to pieces. Being again disappointed of obtaining the money, they went to Mr. Woolley's bed-room, where they found the cash-box, and after locking the doors, and fastening Mr. Babington and his servant together in one room, they proceeded to ransack the house, breaking open the drawers and cupboards in every room, including even those of the servants. No injury was done to any of the family, with the exception of Mr Babington, who was struck on the arm by one of the robbers, whilst en deavouring to prevent his opening a drawer in the study. The following is the:property already ascertained to be stolen, namely, 856/. in cash and notes, as follow :—One Bank of England note for 100/., another for 501., both of which were drawn from one of the Leicester banks on Saturday, by I‘_lT; Astill, of Cossington, no doubt for the purpose of paying rent; twelve country bask notes for 10/. each; one and two Si. country bank notes; 57/. in gold,andls/. 15s. 6d. in silver; a small ;gold Geneva watch , a• crown, with a gold guard chain, ntdhe size agoldofhaif a chain, with Geneva seal and key, and a gold suspending as usp w ending vis l i i t o ig o o k, the property of the young lady wh at Mr. Babington's; another. gold watch, with ' name, th g m ol e d , guard and briquet chain ; a silver watch, A . Jackson, Liverpool ;" and a number of cheques, to the amount of (as is at present ascertained) about 350/. The burglars fortunately overlooked several sums of money and a valuable gold watch, the latter of which was under the bolster of Mrs. Babington bed at the time they took another gold watch from beneath pillow. o. They broke open a writing- desk, in which was a heque f or 4001. • this, how ever, after turning over, they left in the desk. On ' the police going into Mr. B. s study they found a pocket-book on the floor that had been torn open, and which, it could be plainly seen, as it lay on the floor, contained two 5L notes. A worsted purse, containing a Si. note, was also found on the floor, and had probably been dropped by the burglars in their retreat. —Abridged from the Leicestershire Mercury. A DOLPHIN.—One of these very singular fish was exhibited yesterdiy at Mr. Grove's fish-warehouse, in New Bond-street, and attracted a vast number of people to wit ness it. The one in question was the elelphinus phoecenu, not the vari-coloured dolphin which is peculiar to the tro pical seas. It was captured off Yarmouth, in Norfolk, and measured in length eight feet six inches, and was four feet four inches in circumference. It is a very rare specimen of the kind on the coasts of Britain, and is the first that has been seen in the London market by any of the metropolitan fishmongers. FIRE AT DRURY-LANE THEATRE.— Considerable alarm was created yesterday morning, about half past eight o'clock, in consequence of a report being spread that a por tion of this theatre was on fire, followed shortly after by the appearance of several engines. Upon inq u i r y we ascertained that some of the persons connected with the establishment observing a dense smoke issuing from the property-room, proceeded there, and discovered a portion of the apartment on fire. There being, however, a good supply of water, and plenty of assistance, the fire was confined to where it originated. Warehouse, 107, Strand, corner of Savoy Steps, London. JELLY and BLANC MANGE.

The object of the proposed line (for which application will be made to Parliament in the ensuing session) is to supply an important link in a communication connecting the town of Great Yarmouth and the Eastern Coast of the kingdom with the Western, Midland, and Northern districts, accommodating in its progress the city of Nor wich, the town of King's Lynn, Sutton Bridge, and the towns of Long Sutton, Holbeach, Spalding, Boston, Spilsby, by Louth, and Grimsby. Commencing at the proposed terminus of the Lynn, Dereham, and Norwich Railway at Lynn, the line will proceed by Sutton Bridge and the towns of Long Sutton and Holbeach to Boston, there con necting itself with the Boston Branch of the Cambridge an Lincoln line, which that Company have, in pnrsuance of a pledge given to the Board of Trade, agreed to carry into effect : thence it will pro ceed through Boston, Spilsby, and Louth to Grimsby. The Board of Trade having reported in favour of the Newark and Sheffield line, that Company have announced their intention to ex tend their project from Newark to a junction at Sleaford with the Cambridge and Lincoln line. It is also intended to extend the proposed line of railway from Hol beach to Spalding, there to form a junction with the Spalding and Stamford Branch of the Cambridge and Lincoln line, which that Company have also pledged themselves to the Board of Trade to carry into effect. It cannot fall to be observed that the projected lines will together form the most direct, complete, and continuous communication between the eastern, western, midland, and northern districts of the kingdom, will bring the important markets of Norwich and Man chester nearer to each other by fifty miles than by any other line of railway ; and besides giving communication to the ports of Grimsby, Boston, King's Lynn, Spalding, and Sutton Bridge, with the interior of the country, and with each other, will afford the greatest amount of local accommodation to the intermediate districts ; in addition to which, these towns and districts will be placed on a through line to the metropolis, by their connexion with the Lynn and Ely and the Northern and Eastern Railways. From a survey recently made by Mr. Fulton of that portion of the line from Lynn to Boston, it appears there is no tunnelling, cutting, or embanking, of any importance necessary, and that the line will be practically a dead level. Under these circumstances, and from the investigation that has been made of the other portion of the line, it is confidently estimated that the proposed capital will be amply sufficient for the construction of the necessary works and every con sequent expense, and the income derivable from the great traffic which must necessarily arise, not only from the transit of passengers, but from the transport of fish, as well as of corn, cattle, and other pro duce of the great agricultural district through which the lines pass to the principal food-consuming districts, and of coals, lime, and staple commodities for the inland districts, will afford an ample return for the proposed outlay of capital. It is proposed to apply for the usual power to allow interest at the rate of 4/. per cent. per annum upon the paid-up capital from the date of each payment until the completion of the railway. A large proportion of the capital being already secured, it has been determlltell to limit the period for receiving applications for the remaining Shares to the 21st instant, until which date applications will be received by the Solicitors and Parliamentary Agents, or by the undermentioned Brokers :—Messrs.

This undertaking will, in connection with existing and projected lines of railway, bring into immediate communication with Birming ham, and the whole midland and Northern Districts of England, tire great mineral fields of Monmouthshire, as well as those adjoining Car diff and Merthyr Tydvil ; at the same time it will furnish to the im portant agricultural counties of Hereford, Worcester, Brecon, and M onmouth, a ready channel for the transmission of their produce to the dense population inhabiting the mineral districts of South Wales. The object of this company will be very materially aided, first, by the existing line from Cardiff to Merthyr: and, secondly, by the lines intended to be formed by the Welsh Midland Railway Company. The line will commence at Newport, and will thence proceed northward by Pontypool and Abergavenny to Hereford, where (in that direction) it will terminate. From Abergavenny a branch will extend eastward to Monmouth, and another westward to Brecon. From Brecon an extension will be made to Merthyr, to join the Taaff Vale Railway, ending at Cardiff. Thus will be established, in addition to a free intercourse with more distant localities, a complete chain of railway communication amongst the important towns and districts just enumerated, and which are now wholly unprovided in that respect. The portion of the line extending westward from Monmouth will also promote the most direct passenger route that can be adopted from Monmouth to Carmarthen, and the South of Ireland. _ In addition to the main line and extensions above indicated, the Directors propose to place themselves in immediate communication with the proprietors of the most important works in the several dis tricts traversed, in order to fix the situation and the course of the minor branches, which will be necessary to complete the comprehen sive scheme of communication intended ; and to this object regard has been had in fixing the capital of the Company. The investigations which have been made on the subject of the traffic fully justify the conclusion that the undertaking is eminently ealculated for the advantage and convenience of the public, and that it will prove a most profitable investment of capital. In conclusion, it may suffice to observe that it is well known that the scheme of a comprehensive system of inland communication in the districts in question has already engaged the serious attention of the tribunal appointed by the Legislature for the initiatory examina tion of railway projects ; and the Board of Trade has, in its report on the Tring and Oxford schemes, fully recognised the great im portance and necessity of the chain of communication of which the present undertaking will form a material link in the following man ner :—" The accommodation of Herefordshire, Worcestershire, South Wales, and the important districts lying to the west of the present lines of railway will evidently, at no distant period, require not only a wide gauge railway along the southern coast, to place them in com munication with London, but also a narrow guess railway, to place them in direct and unbroken communication, through Birmingham, with the manufacturing districts and the groat railway system of the rest of the kingdom." The engineering capabilities of the course of the line and exten sions have been ascertained to be excellent, and the capital proposed will be ample for the construction of the 125 miles of railway intended to be formed.

Morison was the first of human beings that exhibited medicine in the form of a science ! That based it on principles that never can be shaken. That carried them out into a practice so successful that the old law-built Esculapian mass is already shaken to its centre and totters to its fall. Who that contemplates t his mighty subject, with that was thewhoonbeforehimever thetriumphant known to recover ; and then confe rre d upon a mal treated world that which tended to change the state of others from misery to happiness, with no less certainty. He has been blamed, with a very bad grace, by those who have to cover all their sayings and doings relative to medicine under a dense veil of mystery, for not making the ingredients of his medicine known. But, not to mention his right to reap the reward of a dis covery of such universal benefit, it may be inferred with certainty, that had he at once divulged of what it con sists, and what proportions its d i fferent material s b ear to each d other, its adaptation to every ailment would never have been known. Medical men would have then been able to prepare it. And whether they did so or n o t, i s it to be thought that any person who called for it would have been refused something of the same appearance, and possessed of the same name. Can we doubt for a moment that, under such circumstances, the people would have been made to experience that Morison's dis covery was of no That many other things sold in the drug-shops were of eq u al, if not much greater, efficacy than it. And if it should be said that the people would not have trusted to doctors —that they would have made the medicine t hemselves—we deny the assertion. Not one of a .thousand who ar e now confirmed in Hygeian principles Would, under the above circumstance, have heard of su c h a t h eory. What is it, that has taught vast numbers the absurdity of common medical practice ? Is it not, because those who prepare and vend the Vegetable Universal Medi cines, by keeping it totally distinct from every other, have enabled converts to the Hygeian theory to test its truth, by the only test that can be asked or given —the virtues of the medicine. The knowledge of the system, and the virtues of the medicine, mutually confirm each other. And while men remain ignorant of the former, it will seldom h a pp en t hat a fair trial will be given to the latter. One observation more on this topic. Had the publishers of the Hygeian System of Medicine not secured to themselves the profits of that which con firmed the truth of what they proclaimed, how could it have been made known? Where is the man, or com pany of men, who would for twenty years ha TO 00A- wit-~-,-~~ FIFTH REPORT FROM THE CLASSIFICATION COMMITTEE OF RAIL WAY BILLS.

Allsop and Co., the ale. brewers, of Burton was mentioned in City circles on Tuesday,- but was not confirmed till yesterday, when it transpired that the debts and liabilities of the firm are for an amount of be tween 200,000/. and 300,000/. The general circumstances of the failure have not come out, but it is stated that recent ex periments have involved the house in difficulties. The hop factors in the Borough are said to be heavy sufferers; and should the suspension prove permanent, instead of tempo rary—the latter a state of things hoped by many creditors— there will be much mischief occasioned in other quarters. GOVERNESSES BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION.—The second anniversary festival of this benevolent establishment was celebrated yesterday evening at the London Tavern by a large party, who dined together under the presidency of Lord Sandon, supported by Lord Ingestre, M.P., Sir J. D. Paul, Mr. Mackinnon, M.P., the Hon. G. R. Trevor, M.P., Mohun Lal, &c. The dinner provided did great credit to the establishment. After the usual loyal toasts, the Chairman proposed the toast of the day, " Success to the Governesses' Benevolent Institution." He recapitulated the peculiar claims of a Blass of persons hitherto much neglected, whose condition was most deserving of benevolent attention, whose means were too frequently inadequate for the insurance of a sufficient provision against the casualties of sickness and age. On the conclusion of this earnest appeal, Mr. Hobbs sang " The Friend in Distress." After the health of the Chairman, which was proposed by Lord Ingestre, and duly . responded to, the Rev. Mr. Laing, hon. sec., read a long list of subscriptions, including the Chairman, IW. los., and 101. for the Home (a projected establishment for governesses while awaiting an engagement); Mr. Mackinnon, M.P., 10/. 10s. ; Lord Robert Grosvenor, 101. 10s ; Hon. G. R. Tr evor, M.P., 5/. 55., and 5/. ss. annually ; Mohun Lal, 5/. ; Sir J. D. Paul, 10/. 10s.; Sir J. Scott, 25/. ; Lord Ellenborough, 10/.10s; Lord Stanley, 21/. ; Mr. Vaughan Richards, 101. 10s., in addition to 20/. annually, and 50 guineas towards furnih in the Hone; Lord Willoughby, 20/., &c. The total amount, of the subscription list amounted to 1,551/. After the health of the Rev. David Laing, to whose exertions the public are mainly indebted for the success of this institution, the chair man proposed the health of Mohuu Lal, who had rendered eminent services to several of our countrymen in India. He returned thanks in a few brief words. The musical corps was under the direction of Mr. Hobbs, assisted by Mr. Chap man, Mr. Lloyd, &c. The festivities, which were graced by the presence of a party of ladies, were prolonged until a late hour. FATAL ACCIDENT. Denny, WEDNESDAY. - Scarcely six months have elapsed since a portion of the arch . then in the course of erection to cover the Mill-fleam in the Morledge, in this town, gave way, and caused the death of six persons, who were at the time under it; and now a second fall has taken place, by which two persons have lost their lives, and two others have been seriously injured. On Tuesday afternoon, .about three o'clock, the contractor for the erection of the Mill-fleam arch, Mr. James Sims, his son, Edward Sims, an apprentice of the name of Harlow, and a workman of the same name, were under the arch, about the middle part, for the purpose of striking the centres, and it appears they had been occupied in this situation nearly an hour, when in one instant, without any warning being given, a portion of the arch gave way, and the whole four were buried underneath. Au alarm was quickly spread in all directions, and a dense crowd repaired to the spot, who, under the direction of the borough magistrates, and a number of the police, rendered immediate assistance. An hour elapsed ere the mass of rub bish could be removed so as to extricate the bodies. Sims and his apprentice Harlow were taken out dead, and the other two alive, but extensively injured on their heads and faces. Three other persons under the arch at the time of the fall miraculously escaped injury. This event has excited the strongest feeling amongst the inhabitants, as on the last occasion the accident was attributed to a want of skill, and this is said to have originated in consequence of the un scientific manner in which the arch had been constructed. To-morrow (Thursday) Mr. B. Balguy, Coroner for the bo rough will hold an inquest u p on th e b o di es, w h en a most searching inquiry will be made to ascertain the cause of the disastrous calamity. Lieutenant-Col. Sir Michael Creagh, K.H., and the officers of the 11th regiment, stationed at Rochester, gave their second entertainment last week, which was attended by upwards of four hundred of the local and neigh bouring nobility and gentry. Six rooms of the men's quarters in Brompton Barracks were thrown open for the reception of the company, two of which were used for danc ing, and all were tastefully decorated with flags, swords, and emblematical devices Among the company were—Lord A. Fitzclarence, Colonel Sir T. Willshire, Sir T. Smith, Captain Sir J. Marshall, Colonel Glennie, Major Lushington, Colonel C. Menzies, Lieut.-Colonel Stevens, Lieut.-Colonel Kelly, Lieut -Colonel W. Burns, and Major Burns (sons of the Scottish poet), &c. We understand that a clerk, of some length of ser vice at the Custom-house, who was suspended a short time since, in consequence of his absenting himself from duty, under pecuniary embarrassment, having since availed him self of the Insolvent Act, has been discharged from the ser vice. A very strict order was some time ago issued on this subject, and it is understood that the fact of it having been proved that the party in question made a false declaration as to the state of his affairs and circumstances in regard to pecuniary matters, on his entry into the service, and that lie has also contracted extensive and unnecessary debts since that period, has been the cause of his removal from the de partment. THE LONDON DISTRICT PosT-OFFlCE.—Yesterday six additional sub-sorters were appointed for the increased service of the London District Post -office. A further in crease of sorters, porters, and 11101), it is expected, will take place from the same cause in a few days. THE WINE TRADE . — The Lords Commissioners of the Treasury having had under their consideration an application from the Chairman on behalf of the Wine and Spirit Association of Liverpool, requesting an increase of the allowances for wastage on wines in bond, so far as respects hogsheads and smaller casks, than that determined on by their Lordships' recent order on the subject, Mr. Cardwell has communicated to the Board of Customs that their Lordships are pleased to sanction the following scale of allowances for waste, in lieu of that approved by the order of the 22d of January last — viz. , casks containing less than 30 gallon s , for any time trot exceeding one year, for every 100 gallon s, 2 gal.

MURDER NEAR SALISBURY. SALISBURY, TUESDAY.—An extraordinary inquiry was held on Monday and Tuesday, at Milford, near Salisbury. It appears that, on the previous Wednesday, the body of a woman, in an advanced state of decomposition, was found in the river which runs through the hamlet of Milford, about 30 yards below a bridge over which the road passes to Laver stock. The body was speedily identified by the keeper of a small inn at Salisbury, as being that of a woman wixo had been, with a man and three children, staying for some .time at his house, the man getting his living by exhibiting in On city and neighbouring villages a" learned pig." The incluse was commenced on Thursday and adjourned till Mondhy. In the interim the husband was apprehended at a village near Blandford, and was present during the remainder of the in quiry. He gave his name George Woolford, and aged 67. It appeared from the evidence that, on Palm Sunday, the woman left Newman's house abruptly, the man being then absent. An hour after this time two or three witnesses met a man and a woman, the latter being a few yards in advance, going at a quick pace down the road towards Laverstock bridge. One of them stated that, as she passed she heard the man say, I'll be - if I don't." They be lieved Woolford to be the man. Another witness deposed that he, twenty minutes afterwards, saw Woolford stinseliag on the bridge alone, looking into the water. Woolford, it appeared, returned to the inn at ten o'clock, and then seve ral times afterwards he said he believed the old woman had drowned or hung herself. He and his family remained in the city for some days afterwards, and it appeared that he had made several inquiries about his wife, stating always that he believed she had committed suicide. The medical evidence went to prove distinctly that there were no exter nal marks of violence on the body, and that the death was occasioned by drowning. The prisoner stated that he was not near the spot on the night in question, and that his wife was out of her mind, and had several times attempted suicide. This latter assertion his daughter, on being examined, denied. The inquiry terminated at midnight on Tuesday, in a verdict of " Wilful murder " against Woolford, who was thereupon committed to the county gaol for trial. He is rather a tine man, and is 67 years of age, but looks much younger. It is believed that he and his wife ware formerly members of an equestrian company. / ~ G LEA and PERRINS' WORCESTERSHIRE SAUCE is pronounced by connoisseurs to be " the only good sauce" for enriching gravies, or as a zest for fish, curries, soups, game, steaks, cold meat, &c. ; and its rapidly increasing sale har, induced the Proprietors to open a warehouse in London.
