The foot race was nearly the whole theme of conversation. Both old and young, male and female, seemed to be interested in it. All flock(d to the scene of action, all were afraid lest they should be too late. Foot-racing is not a common oc cutanrrence in thi s part of the country, yet, notwith sding, a great many have some pretensions to running. Though a rural district, somewhat densely populated, neith er pedestrian nor gymnastic exercises are much practised. We have said that foot-racing is uncommon in this part of the country ; in this in stance it was extremely so. No one ever imagined that a lord, who had been reared in the mid.t of rfilaence, would le en competing withwith a handloan we aver, who had been brotwht up in the midst 0 p ,v el t j ... No one believed that such would be the fact. nose 'swim went to the ycet.e Of action went in doubt, and %k ere afraid they would be male fool s of; those who stayed away were afraid they would miss the sport. however, one o'clock in the afternoon i f the ab ove - xnentioned day con vinced these who had mustered courage enough to go to the domains of the Right Hoe. G. R. Dawson that they h a d not gone fur n ot hing. Th e Dew si ni were gallopping up and down seemingly all in life. Other gentlemen of no less note were doing the same, and seemed equally interested. Shortly afterwards the two pedestrians cater out in full uniform. His Lordship is about five feet ten inches in height, slender-limbed, lightly made, and about nineteen years of age. His countenacce is very frank, and upon the whole a very likely.. looking person to take such a thing in hand. James Keenan (for such is the name of the weaver) is about five feet five inches in height, propor tionately built, about 40 years of age, and has a wife and six children. The length of the race was eight miler, and the stakes 5/. each side. His Lord ship backed himse'f, and the Dawsons backed Keenan. His Lordship had on a pair of wel!--made white pan taloons, wash-leather pumps, and a yellow jacket. Keenan ran in a pair of white drawers, barefooted, and te' ; blue jacket. B e f ore they commenced, his` Lordship asked Keenan if he would run first and he would run after, each of them running against time. To this Keenan replied, " Since your Honour has engaged to run against me, I would rather that we ran together." "Well, I'll run with you," was his Lordship's rep'y, "you can commence first, I'll give you the start." So Keenan commenced, and, after he had got a start of about six yard', his Lord ship followed, and ran in a scientific; manner, keep ing his arms well up and his elbows close to his side. It is evident that his Lordship is better acquainted with the theory than he is with the practice of running ; he ran gracefully, but did not get over the ground quickly ; he seemed to have a notion that there is as much in the look of a runner as there is in his speed. This was, 83 Franklin has it, " one cf the errors of his life." Keenan, on the other hand, seemed to be better acquainted with the practice than be was with the theory. He ran with his arms hanging down and quite loose, but he was well acquainted with the art of getting over the ground. When he had run two miles (which he did in 121 minutes) he was about a quarter of a mile before his noble compe titor; so he (Lord Lurgan), thinking it of no use continuing the contest longer, gave up when he had run about two miles and a quarter. Keenan, how ever, ran on, making the second two miles in 13i minutes; the third two he ran in 14 minutes; and the last two in 131 minutes ; running the eight miles in 53i minutes, amidst the vociferous cheering of his friends and acquaintances.—Carlisle Patriot. T P- [PRICE SD« DRAINAGE OF LONDON. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—The plans or "suggestions" of Mr. Thomas plac-d before the public so prominently on the 17th instant, require careful exarninatior, because s,ane opinion may arise, from that circumstacce, pre judicial to the interests of all the inhabitants of L neloa. Notwithstan ling the pußic "zabsolute prohibition, ,, that any oee should, on any account whets )ever, be tempted even to propose. the Thames as the " recap tachl• of the foul mattes" from the se.vers, Me. Thomas Cubitt tells us our "river appears to be the only means for carrying it away ;" and, " though the sub ject has been constantly before him during the last ten years" he R ill " se no other way of effecting the object desired !" He would have " a large reservoir a little lower than the water at high tide at Barking Level," which, I believe, is some three or more feet below Trinity high- water mark. II- would also have " a large tunnel sewer, twenty feet diameter, and forty fret below his reservoir—(i. e., about twenty feet below low-water mark)—and fourteen miles long beyond Paddington westward." He would, moreover, " lower the inland ends of the great sewers," suffi ciently " to make them discharge into the new trunk sewer." The level of Farringdon-street, the Horse Guarcb, Whitehall, Parliament -street, Westtninster bbey, the Houses of Parliament, and Buckingham Palace, is only about 3f feet above high-water mark; and many other important parts of Westminster are even less elevated! The sewer made lately, by Mr. T. C. I believe, in front of Buckingham Palace, is eleven feet below the above -mentioned level, and, con sequently, 7i feet below high- water mark ! The sewer at the angle of Parliament and Bridge-streets, drains Parliament -street, the Houses of Parliament, the Abbey, &c. &c., and being nineteen feet deep, is 15 to 1G feet below high-water mark, or only 25 to 30 feet above the bed of Mr. T. C.'s sewer at Barking, fourteen miles distant; consequently, the declination can average only about 2 inches per 100 feet length ; therefore, Mr. T. C.'s "large tunnel" will be the largest cess-pool that mortal man has ever devised for accumulating deadly filth in London. But, as a drain for sewage (with a fall of only 2 instead of 15 inches per 100 feet) it will be quite useless! And that "it will be very costly" to the People, Mr. T. C. plainly admits. Query—How many more millions of rates and taxes will he not require to lower the "inland ends" (i. e., to give a declination north instead of south), and reconstruct the one or two thousands of miles of great sewers and house drains in London ?

Because every man had one kilt (killed) b. fore the battle begun." The silver cup was accordingly presented to Mr. J. Mackay, 14, Princes-street, Edinburgh. The jury also gave it as their opinion that the author of the following conundrum was entitled to the twelfth cake:— " Why is a poor vorkhouso boy' at Christmas like the Emperor of Russia at present ?

George Earl of Cadogan, C.B , is now among the rumoured as likely to succeed to the East India and China command, but being a Rear-Admiral of the Red, and within fourteen of promotion, which (without taking the late year's mortality among the flag officers as a criterion) he may reasonably expect in a year or so, we do not attach much faith to the report. It is also rumoured, and with much more appear ance of probability, that the office of Director of Engineering Works at the Admiralty will be con ferred upon Captain James, R.E., director of works in this dockyard. The Terrible steam.frigate, Captain Hope, was re moved from the steam-basin yesterday to the harbour to replenish fuel, prior to prosecuting her voyage, which she will do this week. The Penelope steam-frigate was re-docked yester day, after the 'Terrible was taken out, to complete her repairs. Wind, E., fresh breez-s and hazy weather. APPOINTMENT. WooLwlcir, JAN. 12.—Surgeon Charles T. S. Kevern (1846) to the Gladiator steam-frigate, at Devonport The Enterprise and Investigator left their moorings at Greenhithe at 830 A.M. to-day, the former towed by the African and the latter by the Monkey steam vessels. The Enterprise only had her compasses ad justed by Captain Johnson, which process occupied from 7 30 AM. to 1 45 P.M., and although the vessel had been nearly two years away on her northern voyage, the arrangements of her ironwork when re fitting had been so judiciously made, that the devia tion was found, on again setting her compasses yes terday, only to have amounted to a few minutes. A copy of the slight deviation was furnished to the Investigator, and would be a sufficient guide to her, as both were to sail in company. A great number of persons went to Greenhithe to visit the vessels previous to their departure, and were much gratified by their inspection. SUPPOSED MURDER OF THREE MEN AT LYNN.— Fur some time Fait the greatest excitement has pre vailed in the town of Lynn, in consequence of the sudden and mysterious disappearance of two male persons, and from the inquiries made by the magistrates and police, no doubt is entertained of the missing persons having been murdered. A reward of 2201. has been offered by the Government for the apprehension of the murderers, and a pardon to any accomplice, not being the actual perpetrator of the murder, in either cave, who shall give such evidence as will lead to the same result. One of the missing persons is named John Bell, eighty-one years of age, five feet seven inches high, missing since the 13th of November last ; the second, John Kirk, was fifty years ( f age, five fset six inches high, missing since the 12th of October la , t, when he had a silver watch and 151. in his possession. Within the last few days another man, about twenty years old, has been missing. It seems that ho took a lodging for a night at an inn at Purfleet-bridge, Lyne, and after taking off his boots and putting on a pair of slippers, he went out into the strect, and has not since been heard of.

Hinde, coroner for West Kent, touching the death of Ellen Bright, a young girl, aged 17, who was killed on the previous evening by a tiger in the establishment of Mr. George Wombwell, which had arrived in that town for exhibition on the preceding day. The deceased, who was denominated " the Lion Queen," had the honour of performing before her Majesty some time since, and, as will be seen from the evidence, was going through the usual evolutions with a lion and tiger at the time she met with her melancholy death. Stephen King, the first witness examined, said he had been in the employ of Mr. Wombwell, as keeper, for the List six years. The deeeased was a niece of Mr. Wombwell'e, and a daughter of John Bright, a bugle player in the band. It was the business of the deceased to go into the dens and perform with the beasts, which she had been in the habit of doing several times daily for the last twelve months. On Friday evening, shortly after nine o'clock, she went into the den in which a lion and tiger were kept, for the purpose of performing, as usual, the tricks played by her being principally with the former animal. She had only been in two or three minutes, but had gone through the main part of the performance, excepting that of making the lion sit down in a particular part of the cage, when the tiger being in her way, .the deceased struck it slightly with a small whip which she carried in her hand. The beast growled, as if in anger, and crouching close to the bottom of the den, stretched out its paw as if at her leg or dress, causing the deceased to fall sideways against the cage, the animal at the same metueukoringing at her; and seizing her ferociously by the neck, inserting the teeth of the upper jaw in her chin, and in closing his mouth inflicting fright ful injury in the throat by his fangs. He then ap peared to change his position, making a second gripe across the throat of his victim. A keeper, who was standing on the step of the den, armed with a whip, immediately rushed to her assistance, but the animal did not loose its hold until struck over the nose vio lently with an iron bar, and whilst King held the animal, the unfortunate woman was removed from the cage, bleeding profusely, and all but lifeless. She was taken into one of the caravans, where' she was immediately attended by two medical gentlemen, who happened to be present at the time of the occurrence. Bf the Jury—The animal had never exhibited symptoms of animosity before. All the animals ap peared very fond of deceased, and she of them. Witness had frequently heard Mr. Wombell say he wished there was no "Lion Queen." 'Witness thought if she bad kept the whip from the animal it would not have attacked her. Deceased had never exhibited any spmptoms of fear, and had frequently gone into the den to the animals when there had been no company present for practice and pastime. It had been said that perhaps it happened because the beasts had not been . fed, and it was a few minutes past their time. In answer to that, witness could only say he had frequently seen her go amongst the animals on Mondays, when they had not been fed on the previous day. Richard Cooper Todd, surgeon attached to the Royal Artillery stationed in Brompton Barracks, said he was witnessing the exhibition at the time of the occurrence, and was standing quite close to the rope in front of the den. He saw the deceased enter, and on going in the tiger did not appear to be very friendly with her ; she struck him on going in, and he lay down. She then proceeded to her per formances with the lion, and afterwards turned round and again struck the tiger. He appeared angry, and immediately seemed to turn upon the deceased, rearing up on his bind legs, and seizing her by the neck, she fell on her back, the tiger crouching over her. He saw no more of her until removed from the den, when he hastened to her assistance. She was perfectly in• sensible, and had lost a great deal of blood, and her face and lips were very pale. She was still alive ; the heart was beating, but she was perfectly uncon scious. Witness placed his hand on the wound in the neck, to stop the bleeding, and administered some brandy to deceased ; but she was unable to swallow it, and in a very few minutes her heart ceased to beat. There were four wounds on the left side of the neck, a slight wound on the right leg, and another on the chin, caused by the teeth of the tiger; the under-jaw o f the animal having caused a very large wound under the chin, which, aided by the shock her system had sustained, produced death. area.% The jury returned a vierdiet to the effect that de ceased was killed by a male tiger whilst exhibiting in its den, and expressed a strong opinion against the practice of allowing persons to perform in a den with animals. '.one occurrence excited very painful interest, and a great number of persons were present during the inquiry. THE WEATHER AND THE PARKS. On Saturday night the temperature at the Royal Humane Society's receiving -house, Hyde-park, was 29 deg., or three degrees of frost, and throughout yesterday the mercury attained no greater elevation than 30 deg., descending to 27 deg. at 8 o'clock last night, when the previous cloudy atmosphere had brightened and the stars were shining brilliantly with every indication of another severe night. The barometer stood at 29 deg. 85 min. in the morning, about 11 o'clock (the period of the new moon) a slight fall of snow took place, the wind, which blew most piercingly during the day, being due east, with occa sional variations to the south and even to the westward, but last night it bore E.N.E. The ice on the orna mental waters in the Royal Parks and Kensington gardens, had attained a thickness, generally, of nearly six inches. The rides and drives were thronged with the equiplges of the nobility and gentry. REGENT'S-PARK.—This place presented a scene of extraordiniry gaiety. The ice, although six inches thick, was from its roughness not in the best condi tion for skating, but from its strength no accident from immersion occurred. Several lads, however, received severe contusions by falling on the ice, and had medical and other attention at the Humane So ciety's marquee; and a young gentleman, named Francis Greenwood, received a fracture of the left arm, which rendered it necessary to convey him to University College Hospital. Sr. JAMES'S-PANIC—The ice on the ornamental waters in the enclosure was covered with skaters and sliders. The various approaches to the park were completely lined with pedestrians. About noon all attempts at either skating or sliding were rendered impracticable, the crowd being so great that those who had skates on were pushed to and fro, and were forced down. In less than fifteen minutes afrer the medical gentlemen attended not fewer than eighteen persons were carried by the Royal Humane Society's men into the marquee. Amongst the number was Mr. John Newhouse, of 42, Hill street, Lambeth, who was pushed down. The inju ries he received were of such a character that it was found necessary to remove him to the hospital. A lad named Robert Goldfinch, of the Grapes Tavern, Shepherd's-market, was knocked down and much injured. Whilst a vast crowd were walking about near the centre of the ice a portion broke in, and Mr. E. Kelham, of No. 9, Pancras-street, Tottenham court-road, fell into ten feet of water. Iceman Martin (No. 5), as well as the crowd would allow him, proceeded to the scene, and fortunately suc ceeded in getting him out in a very exhausted state. He was forthwith removed to the marquee, where he was placed in a hot bath, and, with the aid of stimu lants, he recovered. Notwithstanding that the many thousand persons were continually warned of the great danger they were exposing themselves to, they made no attempt to get off, until suddenly a loud re port was heard proceeding from the ice, indicating that the pressure upon it was too great. In an in stant a general rush to the banks took place. KENSINGTON GARDENS.--THE LONG WATER.-- The ice in this place was 41 inches in thickness, and returned as being dangerous in places. The number of skaters and sliders was about 12,000, including many noblemen and gentlemen of the Skating Club. The only accident of any importance during the day happened to one of the gentlemen belonging to the Skating Club, who fell and broke his arm. THE ROUND POND.—About 3,000 skaters and sliders ventured on the ice here, but no accident hap pened worth recording. THE SERPENTINE.—The only accident by immer sion occurred to Dr. Woolley, who, while hastening to the Royal Humane Society's receiving house, to give medical aid to some of the persons who were wounded by falls on the ice, broke through, near the bank, into three feet water, and fortunately was otherwise uninjured. Among those injured from falls (many of whom were severely cut on the head) was George Benbow, of South-street, Pentonville, who received a severe concussio n of the brain, and a woman (name unknown), who had one of her thighs broken; both were conveyed to St. George's Hospital. We understand that a number of noblemen and gentlemen of influence held a preliminary meeting 'in the metropolis ye,terd.ay (Saturday) for the purpose of devising a sy4tertatie plaq for developing and working the Irish fisheries.— Weekly Chron i cle. ANOTLIIER SERIOUS DEFALCA . TON IN A SAVINGS' ibItAIJD AT ST. HELEN'S. (Abridged f Nam the Manchester Courier of Saturday.) `the general inquiry into .the affairs of savings' banks, which the painful revelations at Rochdale caused to be instituted, and the lengthened period which has etapsed without any otter wrong dealings being math- pt blic, induced us.to hope that the cast which had directed so much of public attention to the management of these institutions was the only one of the kind that could come to light, and was, in fact, the only one exiting. We deeply regret, however, to say that another very serious case of fraudulent appropriation of public money has-been ) discovered within the last few days, the large sum of at least 10,0001. having been abstracted by the actuary of the s'.

Anti, strange enough to say, it appears that the system of fraud now brought to light had cotn menced certa.inly in the year 1833, if not before, and most likely has been carried on for twenty years without being discovered The St. Helen's Savings' Bank was established at the close of the war, about the year 1818, in the town of St. Helen's, near Liverpool, to receive the cash deposits of persons residing within a district of five miles round the town. The business has been carried on from the commencement to the present in a building in Markw-street, the day of attendance being Monday in each Wr . esit, from twelve o'clock to two. The manag-; eot wr4eated at the time in six trustees-seleistaitsf tht 4iNgiskracyior the leading families of the town and neighbourhood, and by fifty managers, selected from the most responsible and respectable tradesmen in the town, who allowed their names to be used for the benefit of the bank, and agreed to attend in rotation to superintend the busi ness and to affix their initials in the depositors' pass books to the amounts received. At the same time I Mr. John Johnson, then about thirty years of age, was appointed actuary, and has continued so up to the period when the disclosures just made showed he was no longer wor thy of holdi ng so i mportant an office. His remuneration was by comm i ss i on upon th e rece i pts, and might be a b out • 50 1 . per annum, for which latterly attendance was given for little more than an hour per week. About 1833 he introduced William, his younger brother, then about 26 years of age, as sub-actuary, from the desire, as is alleged by some, to increase William's means of living, his, own income being good, or, ac cording to others, because his own business avoca tions were great, and demanded so much time that attendance at the bank was inconvenient, for he was then what he is at present, the managing partner in the firm of Johnson, Worthington, and Co., the pro prietors of several collieries in the neighbourhood of St. Helen's, and especially of a very valuable one, known as the Sankey Brook Colliery. The annual meeting of the trustees and managers, usually held in December, took place either last week or the week before, and Mr. Johnson, as actuary, laid before them a financial statement. The Rochdale defalcation led them to examine this account more closely than usual, and they were much surprised to find that though the population of the district and the trade of the town had so vastly increased during late years as to demand additional railway accommoda tion, and that the operatives were well employed, still the - business of the bank was decreasing. So strange an aspect of affairs, so ominously like to the Rochdale matter, attracted attention. M eet i ngs were held, and M r . Johnson was called before them, and asked to account for it. He•did no more than simply state that such was the fact. The trustees and ma nagers then determined to make a searching investi gation. At the latter end of last week, on Friday, we believe, Mr. William Johnson, the sub-actuary, called upon th e trustees, and said they might prepare themselves for finding a defalcation. This news, coming Irons auch a source, led two of the trustees to proceed directly in search of Mr. John Johnson, and finding him at his office, they told him what they bad heard. He admitted that the accounts were not correct, that he had appropriated a sum of money to his own usP, but Fe denied that the affair was so alarming as his brother had represented ; the whole amount was less than 1,5001., which he had taken so far back as 1833. On Monday last, in consequence of notice, many of the depositors took il - thel4. hpolcf 4 ,N(o3tlydegs and an aecountant thipplincrexamine them ; and before the close of the adeficiency of 1,0001., occurring in 1849, was made out. The managers sat yesterday, and will sit again on Monday, on which day they hope to complete their examination. It is only by complying promptly with the request of the trustees, that the total extent of the mischief can be ascertained, and fully dealt with, and that no depo sitor can have any security that his account has not been tampered with, until the fact has been proved otherwise by the trustees. All books will be safe in their hands, and may be handed to them in perfect confidence. The total amount of' defalcation, speaking from data which have been collected, is about 10,0001., or rather, we should say, th a t sum will clear i t, and it is believed Mr. Johnson and his brother have suffi c i en t property to cover it. Th e amount of the bank liabilities has bean represented as 13,0001., it is supposed they should be 2 3,0001. Though the trus tees have not got them, th ere can be no doubt that the and Mr. Johnson appea rs to have regularly entered a fr n a d u d paid wasio interest, from r o o n m by means of dupli ca t e b oo k s, s 0 me source or other, upon the amounts abstracted to the accounts from which they whweren e t he aken f , and also to have ma d e an account straight found the parties in whose name it stood we e se a . but it , and th ere was danger of an xp , he eff ecte d b y merely taking sufficient from some other account, or, in comm o n eooThi to s , althow e r ver phraseology, " robbing Peter to pay Paul." Of course the sub-actuary, his brother, who kept the books, was cognisant of all this, as he admits, and actually effected the transfer ; but he denies that he got any pecuniary benefit. It is but justice to state that both brothers made over the whole of their property on Saturday, by a legal instrument, to the t rustees, to b e appl i ed in liquidation of the claim upon them; and it is thought 10,000/. or 12,000/., th ere will be sufficient'assets. that, if the sum a c t ua ll 9 made out be not more than THE ROCHDALE SAVINGS'BANK. All the books in the bank have been examined and gone through by the official accountant, but as yet his inquiry has not been brought to a close, the interest upon the balances for the last year not having yet been calculated. It is thought, however, that in a very few days the i nqu i ry willbe terminated. Al ready, however, th e f u ll amount of the claims upon the bank have b een ascertained to be 97,609/., exclu sive of the inte res t f ur the past year, viz., from No vember, 1848, to November 1845. To meet this claim, there are in th e h an d s of the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt a sum of 28,6791. 6s. 5d., a life insurance for 3,0001., debts due to the late Mr. Haworth, estimated to amount to 3,0001., various legacies and other moneys expected to be recovered, amounting to 5001., making a total of 35,1791. 6s. si. In addition to this, it is expected that the mill, ma chinery, and other propsrty of the deceased will rea lise a sum somewhere about 15,0001. The total num ber of accounts open with the bank is 3,000, and all the books of the depositors with the exception of about 90, many of whom have probably left the neighbourhood, have been sent into the bank. During the week, committees from the depositors and from the friendly societies have had an interview with the trustees and managers of the bank, and th e l atter expressed a d es i re t h at a ll parties who had invested money in the bank, whether in compliance with strict rules of law or otherwise, should equally have a par ticipation in the assets of the establishm en t. W e believe th a t suc h a feeling prevails in the neighbour hood, but we cannot see why that should ren d er un necessary a sear c hi ng i n ve s tigation by Mr. Tidd Pratt into the whole transactions connected with these extraordinary defalcations. We have heard on autho rity in which the utmost reliance may be placed, that the Government have sent down a peremptory communication to the trustees, the nature of which will no doubt induce them to lay before the authori ties in London a full statement of the aff a i rs o f t h e bank, with th e var i ous b a l ances , with the least pos sible delay. The following is a copy of a letter from M r . Tidd Pratt in reply t o one ( a copy o f which appeared in our last) addressed to that gentleman. by Mr. F. L. Johnson, s ecre t ary o f th e friendly societies at Rochdale : " 5, Bolton-street, Piccadilly, London, Jan. 1850.

On the 8,11 " - July, 1824, at th e sea p or t t own o f Gosport, in H mpshire, in' th e h ouse o f a respecta bl e, hard-working tlilor, a little girl was born, w h o i s de cidedly one f t h e cleverest And most yeisatile actresses of the p resen t ifigke—thir child wt7arah J4ne Woolgar. Whet"' - Woolgar was a b ou t t en t t years of age, t/er father, relinquishing the trade.of a tailor, assumed the occupation of an actor. In May, 1836, she road.; her first appearance on any stage on the boards of the Plymouth Theatre, at the time when h( r father was also performing there. She appeared as Leolyn, in the Wood Demon ;:and, being successful, was entrusted with the performance of many other juvenile characters. All the impersonations of this lit:le girl of eleven displayed a pleasing precocity of talent, and were rifa with a beauty and power that won for her "golden opinions from all sorts of men." Her success, and the fact that a child pregnant with great talent, even with genius, displaying imaginative powers of no mean extent, and possessed of both personal and mental qualifications for her profession, was soon bruited abroad, and we next hear of Miss Woolgar perform ing at Halifax, and after that at York, and in that latter city creating a sensation in 1838. Her name was " starred " in the bills, and though she was only fourteen, it was a distinction to which she was enti tled on account of ber merit. From York she. went to Nottingham, where she doubtless cap',ivattkt/1* hearts Of many a Country squire by her pleasing and effective singing to the operatic parts she sustained, amongst ethers, that of Diana Vernon. While playing at other provincial theatres, and previous to her engagement at Birmingham, she cultivated music with unremitting industry and study, and the continued attention she paid to this science met with its due re ward. At Birmingham she played Adalgisa in the Eng lish version ofi Norma with such success that for five consecutive nights she was called before the curtain at the close of the performance of the opera, to receive the enthusiastic plaudits of admiring audiences. The musical reputation that she now seemed desirous of acquiring she increased during her visit to Edin burgh in the summer of 1842. It was on Monday, the 9th of October, 1843, when Miss Woolgar made her first curtsey to a London audience, at the Ae.elphi, as Cleopatra, in the burlesque of Antony and Cleopatra. Ever since that day she has been an im mense favourite with the . public in this popular place of amusement, and in her particular line, has retained unrivalled possession of that stage. With the ex ception of an engagement at the Lyceum in the spring and summer of 1844, she has confined her per formances to the Adelphi, where she has personated an immense variety of original characters in the dif ferent 'new farces and dramas which have been brought out at this house. On every occasion she has been rewarded by the approbation of delighted and not unfrequently surprised auditors, and by the most complimentary notices from the entire body of the press.—London Journal. GUNS WITH STEEL BARRELS. We have received a letter from Messrs. George and John Deane, in answer to the charges brought against them by the Company of Gunmakers and oth,rs, with reference to the bursting of a gun, ma nuLctured by them, in the hands of Sir Claude Scott. Their defence is too long for insertion in our columns, and we therefore summarize the different points relied upon by them. They explain the accident by stating that the cartridge in the defective barrel must have shifted from the concussion of the shot previously fired with the right barrel, and they allege, in sup port of this view, that the fracture extends f inches from the joint:where the breech screws:into the barrel, the metal having broken straight across in the upper ,and thickest part. They point out that the wires of cartridges are made two or three sizes smaller than the bores for which they are used, and that there being a considerable space between the car tridge and the inner surface of the tube, the charge is only kept in its place by a thin wad attached to the upper end of the cartridge. As to the charge of obli teretieg the proof-gauge number, the fact that it is obliterated is admitted, hut that it has been done in ten;ionally and with care is denied. To support this deni d it is stated that the way in which proo.-gau e numia , ara - - - ara , airaeir-igr4ruetvrtimarin• Yt smoothing the Messrs. Dwane have - ef , en seen them obliterated. It is further asserted that on the majo rity of London-made guns the initials of the gunmaker are found in the place where the i_roof-gauge number should be, but is not. On the charge of fitting a pair of 12-bore barrels into a stock originally intended for 14, the defence is that Sir Charles Scott fre quently required to make use of the stock while the Messrs. Deane were preparing the barrels, and that they fitted a wood model into the stock, break. off, &c. ; after doing which they found the diameter of the breech-ends large enough to admit of al2 bore. With reference to the statement that the barrels were reduced too much where they form a junction with the breech•ends, the defence is that in that state they stood proof, the charge of which is five times more than any gentleman would shoot from the shoulder. They deny that there has been any re duction inside or out, and state that the barrels theznselves show that this charge is not true, as, by gauging the exterior diameter of the breech-ends, they were found rather stouter than the standard sub staz,ce of a 12-bore barrel. With reference to the charge that the barrels were manufactured of inferior metal, the Messrs. Deane rely for a refutation of it on the fact that they were made by one of the best gun barrel makers in England, of the finest description of metal, and that not the slightest particle of the metal has broken off, so that the ruptured part might be folded back again and replaced with the utmost ex actness. Their adoption of the metal used by them in gun-making, and which they designate steel, the Messrs. Deane defend as founded on a long series of experiments which satisfied them of its excellence and power of resisting compression. They conclude their exculpation by an invitation to the public to inspect their factory and stock of guns, and by expressing their desire to see the safety of sportsmen secured by some legislative enactment on the subject. TUE BONAPARTE FAMILY.—We find the follow ing in the Siècle :—" If we are well-informed, family affalial occupy a considerable degree of attention at the Elysea at tuffs moment. The Minister of Justice is said to have been charged to examine a question which he had himself submitted to the consideration e f a commis sion composed of eminent lawyer?, such as M. Dupin, sec., M. Portalis, M. Barthe, M. Troplong, &c. It is—The treaty of Fontainebleau, corroborated by the will of the Emperor, secured to the Bonaparte family claims on the public treasury for considerable sums, which, with inteeest, would now amount to more than 20 millions. The Restoration, considering the treaty of Fontainebleau abolished both by right and by the events of the war, paid no attention t) the claim. At the time of the revolution of July claims were sent in to the new Government by the members of the Bonaparte family, who were then in exile; the Council of State were called on to examine these demands, and presentel a favour able report. But the Government of Louis Philippe did not think it its duty to attend to these claims, which are now again renewed. The commission to which M. Rouher has submitted the question is, it is said, inclined to regard the question in the same light as the Council of State rf 1831, and it is on the opinion of this special commission that the Government will pie ent a Bill tending to effect t'te re-imbursement of the sums which may be due by France to the heirs of the Emperor, artar it has Len subjected to the examination of the Council of State."=-Gulignane's Messenger. SUDDEN DEATH OF A CLERGYMAN.—On Saturday morning an awful instance of sudden death occurred in North-street, Finsbury. At the period mentioned is gentleman who but a few minutes previously had been seen walking rapidly in the direction of the New-re a lovas observed to stagger and fall to the ground. Several persons ran to bis assistance, and the unfortunate man was immediately conveyed into the house of a respect • able tralesman near at hand, while medical assistance vs as sent for. Mr. Coulton, a surgeov, resident in Clif ton-street, promptly attended, but life was extinct before his arrival. On searching the deceased a gold %well and appendages, and Other valuable property, 'sere found upon him, as well et , a card case, containing cards bear ing the name of th.., " Rec. Spencer Thornton, Wen dover Vicarage." From a letter in ono of the deceased's pock( t 4 it wls also surmised that he was son-in-law cf James Dupe, Esq., of Portland-place and Stone D e an park, near Beaconsfield, father of Mr.i Caledon George Dup. 6, M.P. for Buereinghanashire. An officer having been dial ached to Portland-place, very soon la turned with Mr. Dupre's coachman, who instantly identified the deceased as the reverend gentleman abovenamed. The unfortunate gentleman Ea 4 , it appeard, only just arrived in town by the Eastern Counties Railway from a visit to his uncle, Mr. Abel Smith, M.P., cf Weodhall park, Herts, and it is conjectured that he was proceed ing to the residence of his father-in-law, in Portland place, when his death occurred. The deceased, who is not more than 40 years of age, has left a widow and eight children t o deplore his losr. He has been incum bent e f Wendover since 1837, and was greatly beloved by his parishioners. The vicarage of Wendover is in the gift of the Lord Chancellor. The sale of the valuable furniture and effects of Marlborough-home, belonging to her Majesty the lase Queen Dowager, is expected to take place in the first week of next month (February).
