Reader, remember, this letter was put into the paper by the la4y herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Herbal'', High gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months, and the whole of her hair is much stronger and mere luxuriant than I ever was before the baldness appeared. "Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an 1 I s. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume it is far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above fact.-3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, a few drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and - n - event it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the :nest aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing )dour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion o the toilet. In cases of nevotts headache, pour ten or twelve drops it the crown of the heal ; if v -ry bad, repeat it every quarter of an our. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces air oil children's heads in a few appplications. If used on infants' cads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.---Seo pamphlet of testimonials. All letters addressed to William Grimstone Heibary, Highgate. 52, Fleet-street. A NEW DISCOVERY IN TEETH. R. HOWARD, Surgeon Dentist, 52, Fleet street, has introduced an ENTIRELY NEW DESCRIP TION of A ItTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the originals by the closest observer; they wia never change col ur or Cecay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painflil operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication; and, that Mr. Howard's improvement may be within reach of the most economical, he has fixed his charges at the lowest s , ;ale possible. Decayed teeth rendered sound and usefUl in niastica tion.-52, Fleet-street. At Home from Ten till Five.

S pooner ' s friends took place to-day (Saturday), when it was arranged tha t his general committee sh ou ld h o ld i ts first sitting on Tues day next. In the meanti me a ll t h e neces sary machinery has been prepared, and i n t h e course o f a few days an active canvass will be eortmenced. Mr. Muntz remains resolutely determined not tor coalesce with Mr. &hole field ; so that the battle will be single-handed between the latter gentleman and Mr. Spooner. It appears to be a prevailing opinion that Mr. Scholefield has in the present instance somewhat too prematurely offered him self to the constituency. In all probability, in conse quence of increasing yerrs, the next will be the last election at which Mr. Spooner will tender his services in Parliament ; and on this account, a 3 well as in con sideration of his assiduous attention to the local business and interests of the borough, a large portion even of the Liberal electors are unwilling to disturb him in the pos session of his seat. The contest may, however, be severe; but the probability is that the present Members will be again returned. BEWDLEY AND STOURPORT. The representation of these boroughs has b een for many years confided to a mem b er o f the Winnington family, whose family se a t s are nea r at hand, and who possess large property and cons id era ble influence in the district. Sir Thomas E. Winnington is the present Member for these boroughs, and is a Whig of the old school. It is not expeettO that there will be any oppo sition to his re-election. CAMBRIDGE. A meeting called by the Committee of the Conser vative Association was Wed last night at the Black Bear Inn, the avowed purpose of which was to pass a resolution declavatory . of ae.oiteetion of the aseowiw don to any compromise between the two parties in the town as to the candidates at the nex; election. By an oversight, the committee bad summoned ► meeting of "the electors" instead of " the members of the association, " and through this, a large number of the Whig party and that section of religionists who hold the most extreme opinions as to the Msynooth grant obtruded themselves into the room, and resolutions condemnatory of the political conduct of Mr. Manners Sutton and Sir Fitzroy Kelly were passed, in addition to the one recognized by the committee.

Captain Stephenson the Conservative candidate at the last election, only lost by about 80 votes. DROITWICH. For this ancient borough Sir John Pakington, the present member, will again be a candidate, and there seems little doubt that he will again be returned without opposition. ESSEX (NORTH). The bustle of the coming contest continues, particu ,arly in the. Northern Division, in which since our last, one new candidate has passed across the stage and re tired, and another has already come on. A meeting was held at Colchester on Saturday, when Mr. Sava' Onley was introduced as the opponent of Mr. Rebow, but in consequence of being attacked with sudden illness during the proceeding he withdrew on Monday. At Braintree on Wednesday, Major Beresford, one of the present members for Harwich, was announced as his successor in the field. In the Southern Division Mr. Bramston has acceded to the requisition soliciting him to offer him self again; that gentleman and Mr. Bowyer Smyth are the only candidates yet in the field. A requisition to Mr. Thomas Barrett Lennard to become a candidate for this division of the county at the ensuing election, is we learn in the course of signature.—Chelmcford Chronicle. EVESHAM AND OTHER BOROUGHS. In Evesham we are informed that Mr. John Rudge, of the Manor-house, will be proposed by the Conservative party. Lord Marcus Hill will again come forward on the Liberal side ; as to Mr. Borthwick we are as yet entirely ignorant in regard to his intentions. In Kid derminster we bear that Mr. Godson will be again op posed by Mr. Sampson Ricardo, on the Liberal interest, who ran him hard in 1841, only losing by 12 votes. Droitwich will retain its present valuable member, Sir John Pukington. They talk of a Liberal opposition to Mr. Benbow, in Dudley ; and the Bewdley Conserva tives expect that Mr. Monteith will again try a fall with Sir Thomas Winnington ; but these are but rumours, and after all there may be no contest in Kidderminster. or Bewdley, or Dudley.— Worcester Herald. HUDDERSFIELD. The canvass of the Huddersfield constituency on behalf of Mr. George Wilson, chairman of the Anti-Corn-law League, resulted in about 440 signatures being attached to the requisition, besides as many absolute promises of support as brings the number up to 532 voters. With such a result, and as not more than 1,000 electors (at the utmost) are likely to poll in the event of a contest, Mr. Wilson's return may be regarded as secure against any candidate of any party. HULL. Since our last the only rr .3* ennent - made it., thla town with reference to the approaching election has been on the part of the " Liberal" supporters of Mr. Clay. Nothing definite transpired with reference to a second candidate inihe Liberal interest, but a young man, a brother of our former representative, Mr. Butt, now M.P. for Gateshead, was, we learn, spoken of. Mr. Joseph Sykes was, we understand, asked to stand, but refused.—bull Packet. LEEDS. The reception given to Mr. Sturge by a public meet ing of the inhabitants of Leeds, consisting of about 10,000 persons, in the Cloth. hall yard, on Monday eve ning, corresponded with that given by the Liberal elec tors on the previous Thursday in the Music-hall. A vote was passed in his favour, so nearly unanimous that only three or four hands were seen to be held up on the negative side - in that great assembly. The section of Liberals who support Mr. Aldam have communicated with that gentleman, but no decision whatever has been come to. We apprehend it would be perfectly vain and hopeless to bring forward the hon. gentleman under pre sent circumstances.—L ce d s Mercury. LICHFIELD. Mr. Mostyn has announced himself as a candidate for Flintshire ; so that there can be little doubt now that the vacancy in this city will be supplied by Lord Anson, the private secretary to Lord Palmerston. At present the friends of Captain Dyott have taken no steps with respect to the election. Should the gallant officer come forward in the Conservative interest the seat of Lord Alfred Paget would be in danger. AIALDON. Mr. Waddington visitedMaldon again on Monday last for the purpose of calling upon some of the electors ; he will shortly make a general canvass. We are informed that his return with Mr. Dick at the next election is con sidered Tertain.—Essex Standard. MARYLEBONE. The following is a copy of the opinion in Mr. Salo mons' case•: — We have considered the very peculiar circumstances of this case, and are of opinion that Mr. Salomons cannot decline to act as returning-officer'for the borough of Marylebone during the current year; that the sheriffs have no power to accept his resignation, or to appoint any other person to that office; and that he is not eligible to serve in Parliament for that borough so long . as he holds the office. " T. N. TALFOURD. " FRANCIS NEWMAN ROGERS. " B. PEACOCK. " June e." BETFORD AND BASSETLAW. It is generally believed that both Captain Duncombe and Mr. 'Vernon intend to offer themselves again. Of the return of the former there scarcely appears any difference of -opinion, but the latter having, from the instability and , time-serving course which he has pur sued, regardless of the expressed opinions of his con stituents, completely alienated the good opinion of all parties, we are well assured he will be strenuously, and without a doubt most successfully, opposed by one whose consideration for the opinion of his constituents will be more in accordance with the feelings of the electors; but who is to be the man, is Derhaps too much to say. It is currently rumoured, however, that a son' of a resident nobleman will offer himself; and it is also said by others it is to be the worthy baronet command ing" the Sherwood Rangers. A third report adds, that the free traders of Manchester are also to have their man sent here.--Notts Guardian. SANDWICH.

STOKE - UPON-TRENT. At a meeting of a section of the Whig-Radical party, held within these few days, it was determined to again support Mr. Ricardo, and to invite a second candidate to become his colleague, to the ejection of Mr. Alderman Copeland. This course is, however, strongly condemned by many of the leading gentlemen in the Liberal interest. Alderman Copeland's connexion with the trade of the district, the moderation of his political opinions, and his great services with regard to the obtainment and forma tion of railway communication throughout the Potteries, render his ro-election pretty certain. WORCESTERSHIRE (EAST). Captain Rushout, in consequence of ill health, will not offer himself for re-election ; and, in all probability, the lion. W. Ward, the brother of Lord Ward, will be in vited to take the place of the Gallant Officer. Mr. James Arthur Taylor, it is understoDd, will retire, and, accord, leg to the terms of the Droitwich agreement, Mr. Hodgetts :Foley will be allowed to walk over the course as his successor without opposition. Such is the present aspect of affairs in this division of Worcestershire. WORCESTERSHIRE (WEST). No opposition is likely to be offered to the return of General Lygon and Mr. Knight. `WORCESTER (CITY). The citizens of Worcester, or at least some active persons on their behalf, have already named a host of candidates to represent them in next Parliament. First, there is Sir Denis Le Merchant ; all persons are agreed that he is a &I and proper person to represent a com- JUNE 15, 1847. munity engaged to a certain extent in commercial pur suits, and anxious to do a good deal more business. As far as we can cast the waters of the land," we should say that if the two great parties could agree as to Sir Denis's colleague, there would be no contest. We need hardly remind our readers that Mr. Bailey, at present Sir Denis's colleague, retires from his political connexion with Worcester at this election, when it is under stood he will be returned fur the county of Brecon. Sergeant Glover was the first regularly proposed new candidate on the Conservative interest ; we know nothing of that learned gentleman, except that we have observed him among the barristers attending the assizes here. Mr. Rufford, the next in order of time, was ac eered as fit and proper, last Monday evening, by a large and respectable meeting of electors. As chairman of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway, Mr. RufFord has been necessarily much connected, during the last three years with a numerous body of respectable citizens, and it is understood that his business habits, and aptitude for commercial negotia tion have rendered him acceptable to many electors, even among the party opposed to his political principles, which are moderate Conservatism. Mr. Robinson, our former representative, stands No. 4 in the roll ; we need not say ono word as to his eminent qualifications, or acceptability to his constituency. The latter, indeed, have never been reconciled to the manner of his relinquishing their re presentation in 1837. A meeting of the electors taken place this evening for the purpose of consider. ing the expediency of sending a requisition to Mr. Robinson to stand for Worcester. It is understood that the main section of the Liberal party here-- - - . --who, we need hardly say, support Sir Denis Le Marchant—have a second candidate, making an entirety of five. Who the gentleman is has not been revealed, but it is asserted that he is one every way worthy of the coveted honour. Since the foregoing was in type, we have been in formed that Mr. Robert Hardy has this day declared that nothing shall prevent him from standing for Wor cester at the approaching election.— Worcester Herald. PRICE SD. of justice have not the power to try offences committed out of their bailiwick, nor authority to order a mutual surrender of refugee criminals, it is high time that mea sures were adopted to redress the grievance. We would recommend that a royal charter be granted to the Courts of Jersey and Guernsey, so as to extend the cognisance of those tribunals to all crimes and misdemeanours com mitted on the seas, harbours, and such maritime places in the Channel as may not he within the jurisdiction of the Admiralty of England—that competent judges, and an efficient police be appointed, who should be paid !or their services, so that the latter ratty pursue criminals when necessary, and such other remedies as would put an end to the system which allows criminals to escape punishment and prevent the adoption of Lynch law among us. We hope that General Napier, for the people of Guernsey, and General Itaynett, for the people of Jersey, will make a representation to Government on the sub;ect.—Jersey and Guernsey News. REST. (From the Dispatch.) Rest, sweet Rest, mellifluous Rest, The tree of Life's soft cushat's nest ! Word that fulls on mortal grief As night dew on the parching leaf; — They who fain would hive thee near, Let Wisdom whisper in their ear. Grasp not with a greedy haffd At useful gold or fertile land ; Seek "enough," but mind thy touch Shuns the cancer of " too much." Fortune's fruit is blissful fare, While we ask a modest share ; But when we have gathered in All we can, with selfish sin, We shall find some oozing gall From, " Discord's apple " tainting all. Spi ead what serveth for our food, And the ripe store keepeth good ; But luscious pulp and bloomy scent, Undlily piled, will soon ferment. Few Hesperian boughs are caught Whose fruit is flavoured as we thought, And wise Content must rule the breast Where Earth's riches bring us "Rest." Love not as the thoughtless love! Affection is the emblem dove, Whose sacred wings are ever spread In glory o'er the Maker's head. Passion burn:—but such wild light Marks not Truth's sure beacon height, Pride may vow and offer up The soul-pledge in a poisoned cup ; The lips may learn to lie with grace, And shrinking heart show eager lace ; But Love, God's love, that guides and cheers Through dazzling joys and blinding tears, The Love that will not sell itself For gaudy rank or shining pelf— This, this Love, only is the guest In angel form that bringeth "Rest." Ye who murmur and repine While ye dwell mid "rose and wine;" Ye who cast a languid eye On a "velvet canopy ;" Ye who find a downy heap Bring no sound, unbroken sleep— Leave the chariot and chair, Cushioned seats and perfumed air Up ! go forth into the day, Climb the rugged mountain way ; Task your sinew—brace your limb, Dig or dance, or leap or swim, Let the sickle or the plough Raise the sweat-drop on your brow, For venomed Luxury soon breaks The calm of sloth with spawning snakes: Labour only is the blest And blessing price that buyeth "Rest." Dwell not as the many do On Life's hemlock, thorns, and rue ; Pain and trouble may arise, As shade comes over summer skies. Happiness is not the lot Of this chequered trial spot ! Duty formeth here our task, Else why would the Spirit ask A "Future " in its hopeful prayer, And dream of realms for ever fair? Take the poppy with the wheat, It bees have stings their hive is sweet And bells that give the churchyard knell, Rang the wedding peal as well. Weigh the things that make us glad Against our moments lone and sad, Nurse not all the ugly forms Conjured up from "dust and worms;" The broadest stars of light may set, But the darkness must be met; And if anguish vex thy soul, Stem the rough wavei as they roll! Dope and courage shed repose Eren while the tempest blows; Ar.d bosoms that e'er make the best Ot human ids, find most of " Rest." Turn not with a doubting face From the kindly of thy race! We may gn! et th.. , fslse and foul— Reptiles lurk, and wolves will prowl! Many a heart we may have seen Prove bitter, faithless, cold and Mean; But God sentient nobler things, And Nature's harp has finer strings. There are beings frank and just, Worthy of all human trust; There are souls that bear below The rarest blossoms that can grow In a soil where they recoil From warfare that must crush and spoil. There are beautiful, high hearts, Free and staunch as barb that starts, And, like that barb, will die and drop In Friendship's race before they stop. Be ye sure the world holds those Who claim our homage—even as foes; But when we find such twining round Our spirits—fondly, closely bound, Then Friendship is no " hollow jest," But sheddeth balmy, hallowed " Rest," Rest, sweet Rest, mellifluous Rest, The tree of Life's soft cushat's nest! Word whose dearest tones belong To the mother's cradle song; Word whose tchoes ever float 'Mid strife winds the Eolian note; Word that cannot be erased Where by Honesty 'tis traced On a Conscience firmly pure— The only tablet to endure. Thou'rt the word of promise still, Be " worn and wearied" as we will; The word that's printed in the heaven When no chariot cloud is driven; Written on the stirless deep, When the sea flower falls to sleep, And spelt with daisies on the sod, IVhen we lie down with Peace and God. ELIZA COOK. THE DISPENSARY FOR DISEASES OF THE EAR. The 31st anniversary festival in commemoration of the estab lishment of the Dispensary for Diseases of the Ear, in Dean street, Soho, was celebrated yesterday at the Thatched-house Tavern, St. James's-street. The chair was taken at half past six o'clock by Lord Ashley, supported by the Lord Mayor, Dr. Tattersall, the Rev. h. Montgomery, and about 40 other clergymen and gentlemen. The vocal arrangements were under the direction of Mr. G. Taylor, assisted by Messrs. Kenny, Binge, and Frost. The healths of her Majesty and the Royal Family having been drank with the honours, and followed by appropriate songs and glees, the toast " The Archbishop of Canterbury and the Established Church" was given, to which compliment the Rev. Mr. Montgomery replied in a speech of considerable eloquence, setting forth the claims of the dispensary for support, and the I readiness of the clergy to afford their aid towards it. The Noble Lord who presided then proposed the toast, " Success to the Dispensary," which was received with great applause. His Lordship took the opportunity of advocating in strong terms the claims of the institution on the public, both as affording relief to the industrious poor and alleviating most distressing calamity, and also as offering to persona in the middle ranks of life opportunities for the skilful treatment of diseases which, if such an institution did not exist, it would be out of their power to procure, unless at considerable cost. His Lordship regretted the financial affairs of the dispensary were not so flourishing as they deserved to be, but he trusted that so excellent an institution would not be suffered to fall into decay by any want of contributions and support from the public, and from the gentlemen he saw around him ; it would be a calamity and a disgrace if means were not afforded to it to carry its objects into full development. His Lordship having concluded, the toast was drank with great .enthu siastn ; and in the course of the evening the secretary an nounced subscriptions to the amount of upwards of 100 I_ The health of the chairman was then proposed by Mr. T. Hawkins, and drank with the honours; and his Lordship_ having returned thanks, proposed the heal th of the Lord Mayor, who acknowledged the compliment i n a neat s p eech. Dr. Tattersall and Mr. W. Harvey returned thanks for the healths of the medical officers, after which some other appro priate toasts were drank, and the company broke up. EXETER HALL.—Last night Haydn's oratorio of The Creation was performed for the benefit of the " inha bitants of Scotland who are suffering front famine." The Hall was crowded to suffocation, and it is expected that nearly 1,0001. will be handed over to the funds devoted to the object in aid of which the performance took place. The principal vocalists were Madame Caradori Allan, Miss Birch, Herr Staudigl and Pi - schelf, Mr. Lockey, and Master Banister. The oratorio was excellently performed, and went off with great eclat. The chorus of the Sacred Harmonic Society was never in better trim, and their efforts merited the approval they obtained. Mr. Surman conducted. Among the company present we observed the Grand Duke Constantine and suite, the Duke of Newcastle, Earl Powis, &c. Her Ma;esty the Queen patronised the performance, but being engaged at the christening of the Duke of Welling ton's grandson, was unable to be present.

THE CHANNEL ISLANDS. DEFECTIVE STATE OF THE LAW IN THE CHANNEL ISLANDS—NO PUNISHMENTS FOR CRIMES COMMITTED ON THE SEAS BETWEEN JERSEY AND GUERNSEY. A curious case occurred last week, which illustrates the shocking state of the criminal law in Guernsey, and we may add in Jersey also. On Monday, the first of June instant, Mary Smith was seized and com mitted to the Guernsey prison, charged with having, whilst on board the cutter Mary and Jinne, Captain Le Gouteur—the vessel by which she bad just arrived from Jersey—stolen ton five franc pieces of French money, belonging to the said Captain. On the fol lowing day, Mary Smith was taken before the Royal Court of Guernsey, but it having been proved in evi• dence, that she had committed the robbery whilst in Jersey harbour, the Bailly and Jurats considered, that they had no jurisdiction, and dismissed the charge This decision is supposed to be justified by various pre cedents, among which is the one of Captain 011ivier, for merly master of the schooner Sarnia, who in 1837 was charged with having committed a rape on the person of a young woman on board the said vessel, whilst in Jersey harbour, upon which the Guernsey Court refused to take cognizance of the complaint, because the offence had been committed out of that island. Now we beg to observe that on the last-mentioned occasion, Mr. Badly Brock reminded the prisoner, that had the Sarnia arrived in Guernsey immediately after the crime had been committed (in like manner as the Mary and Anne had) or had it been committed during the voyage from Jersey to Guernsey; in fact, had not the vessel returned to Jersey and broken the voyage, the Guernsey Court would have felt it its duty to try him for the crime with which he stood charged. This appears to us to be sound law, but how different is the decision of the case before us. On the pre sent occasion, the vessel belonged to Guernsey; she hailed from that port, and was therefore clothed (if we may use the term) or invested with the protection of the law of that island: she was cleared outwards from the Jersey customs for Guernsey: the money was found on the woman's person, after the vessel had left Jersey, and was pursuing her voyage to Guernsey. The crime was therefore committee, in like manner as all civil acts were performed on that voyage, with the view, if any dispute arose, of their being controlled by the law and adjudicated upon by the Court of Guernsey. The Captain, crew, and passengers were all destined for that port; the voyage had com menced, and therefore every act and circumstance which transpired, was clearly within the cognizance of the Court of that Island. But mark ! The woman was apprehended immediately after she landed, and yet the Bailly and Jurats discharged her from custody, on the ground that they had no jurisdiction ! Now, from whence does the Court derive its jurisdic tion? Is it from the ancient customs of Normandy or from the reputed Constitutions of King John? We say reputed, because we are thoroughly convinced, that Guernsey and Jersey cannot establish any title to a charter from that monarch. It is all moonshine. Mr. La Croix tells us that •" the pretended constitions of King John are nn un digested memorandum of an inquiry instituted in Guern sey in the beginning of the reign of Henry 111., when the two-Wallas h&citha mane governor." Now history informs us that in those days the Governor was also Bailiff, from tis hene6'it follows, that the Channel Islands then formed only one Bailiwick, and therefore the Governor or Bai liff had jurisdiction criminal, civil, and maritime, over all matters arising in both islands ; and it is not very clear to us that this power was ever taken away from him. Be that, however, as it may, if dividing the islands into two bailiwicks has limited the original urisdiction, it is quite certain that it has rendered the law very imperfect for the administration of justice. It is a sad reflection on the authorities of these islands to have allowed such a state of things to come to pass. When we consider the great intercourse which now exists between Guernsey and Jersey, by steam and sail ing vessels, what a splendid harvest the light-fingered gentry of England could reap. If the dictum of the Guernsey Court be correct, thieves and others may plunder and commit crimes on the high seas between Jersey and Guernsey with impunity. There is no -law- to punish them, for the Guernsey and Jersey Courts deny that the Admiralty of England have any jurisdiction, and they refuse to take any cognisance of the crimes themselves. In the present case, it would have been useless for the Jersey authorities to have sent a constable to Guernsey with the view to bring Mary Smith back to Jersey, to be tried here, because in the case of Wren and others, who in 1836, were charged with robbery, broke prison in Jersey, pursued to Guernsey and apprehended there, the court of that island liberated the arrest, on the ground that the capture and detection of the prisoners Guernsey was illegal for a matter that originated out of that Bailiwick. This case was brought under the notice of the Royal Commissioners when they were in Jersey, who examined the bail►ff upon the law for the appre hension of fugitives from justice, or runaway criminals from Jersey._ Sir John De Veulle is reported to have said, that ." If a prisoner escaped to Guernsey, his re covery was impossible by any means whatever." This is grand! splendid! and very comforting withal. How ever disgraceful it might be to the authorities of Guernsey to permit such horrid abuses to creep upon them, the authorities of Jersey deserve equal blame, as we shall now proceed to show. In the case of Mat thews and Prowden, charged with the commission of various robberies in Guernsey, who escaped to Jersey, and were apprehended here, the Court of this island held also, that inasmuch as the crimes were committed out of the Bailiwick, they had no jurisdiction, and liberated the prisoners 1 Here is a pretty state of things. If a person commits a crime in one island and escapes to the other, he evades punishment, and if he commits it on the high seas he avoids it also. Hear this all ye thieves, rogues, and vagabonds, who would run a muck for plunder. What a wide field is open to your horrid pursuits, through the apathy, negligence, or incompe tence of the local authorities of Jersey and Guernsey to make laws to punish you, when you commit your wicked deeds in these parts. Now what must be the end of this shameful position in which we are placed, if the Commissioners do not devise a remedy ? What why Lynch Law will be established among us—that wretched system which prevails in America, - and in all other new countries, where Lir and Justice fail to meet the wants of the community. Take the follow ing case for example, which is reported in the Cleve land Plain Dealer, a journal published in the western world : "A LYNCH COURT ON LAKE ERIE.—A gentlemanly blackleg, took passage from Buffalo on board the Supe rior, Captain Wilkinson, on her last trip up. He took a deck passage, so as to give him a chance to berth with whom he pleased in the steerage. He soon selected his victim, an unsuspecting old man, who had been so imprudent as to show considerable of a purse of money, in making change for his fare. The fellow managed to get into the same berth with the old man, but appeared very restless till sometime about midnight, when he dis appeared. The old man missed a suspender button pocket, and his purse, with ninety dollars of money in it, when he awoke in the morning. He made complaints to the captain, pointing out his fellow lodger, whereupon a search was instituted, but nothing found. All were satisfied of the fellow's guilt, and a lynch court was im mediately organised to make the robber divulge. Com. Wilkinson presided vs judge, claiming maritime juris diction in all such cases. The fellow was arraigned, the prosecuting witnesses sworn, the jury looked dag gers at the villain, and he caved. He said the money would be found in one of the water closets, which was so, and the same was restored to the old man. The judment of the court was then that the culprit should have " ropes end" three times and repeat. Two stalwart men took him by each hand and extended his arms, while Jack executed the sentence. This took place about 15 miles off this port on Sunday morning last. The fellow was put ashore here, and the way he mizzled was a cau tion to the craft." Now only but think of the commanders of our steam-boats and sailing crafts forming a court on board their vessels for the trial of delinquencies com mitted there. Only reflect on the summary mode of punishment inflicted. How would it do to see Com modore Goodridge or Commodore Babot preside at a court of this description, and sentence a thief to re ceive a dozen lashes for his malpractices? It would be shocking ; but still such things will come to pass it something be not &Ile to romedy the oil. If our courts R 0 YAL FRE GUAVA E His Grace the Dnkc or flu JOHN MASTERMAN, Tho NINETEENTH.

On Thursday she called at the shop of Mr. Kerry, a draper, in Bishopsgate-street, stating herself to be " Mrs. Captain Warren," and recom mended by Dr. Conquest, of Finsbury-square, and ordered a quantity of goods to be sent to the Captain's residence, but some flannel and other articles she took with her. The goods being sent as ordered, it was found that she had given a fictitious address. In the same way she ordered goods to be sent from Messrs. Carter and Co.'s, of Finsbury-place, to be sent to" Captain Fawcett."in Fins bury square, and carried off with her part of the pro perty ; and from Mr. Ford, a silk mercer, in Holborn, she obtained a black silk mantle, giving an order for other goods to be sent to " Captain Warner," at 47, Hatton garden. She is described as a young woman of respect able appearance, about five feet high, with dark hair, and when she called at Mr. Kerry's wore a half mourn ing dress, with black straw bonnet and veil, and carried a black parasol. On the other occasions she wore the half mourning dress, with variations in the other por- tions of her costume. Mn. GALE'S BALLOON ASCENT.—This intrepid gentleman, whose aerostatic exhibitions have novelty to re commend them, and apparent though not real danger to excite the most apathetic, made an ascent last evening from the Rosherville-gardens at Gravesend, accompanied by two other aeronauts, in the presence of a vast number of spec tators collected within the grounds. Previously to the ascent, the ceremony of naming the balloon, somewhat in the manner of naming a ship at the time of launching her, took place amidst the cheers of the multitude. When at a very great elevation the lower car was let down from the upper one, to the distance of thirty feet, and Mr. Gale descended from the one to the other, and ascended again to his original place, having discharged a battery of shells from the lower car. The gardens, which are now in admirable order, were, not withstanding the unfavourable state of the weather in the early part of the day, visited by some thousands of persons, the balloon having been inflated since Saturday, in crder to afford a perfect view of the novelty of its construction. At two o'clock the weather cleared up, and at the time of the ascent was most propitious. LAURENCEKIRK. ABERDEEN RAILWAY. The railway operations in this immediate neighbourhood are now advancing rapidly towards their completion. We understand, that both Mr. Munro and Mr. Brebner expect to have their contracts finished, that is, altogether , ready for the permanent rails, by October next. The number of men at preseot employed on Mr. Monro's contract is nearly 300, and on Mr. Brebner's above 100. Both these are only stab-contracts from the company, but they, however, are very heavy cuts.

That fa cinating actress, Mrs. Nisbett, last night com menced a new engagement at this agreeable theatre, which may now, par excellence, be termed the house of the British drama. The Love Chase, by Sheridan Knowles, was judiously selected for the occasion, Mrs Nisbett appearing in her original part of Constance, which she has made peculiarly her own. There is per haps no part in the varied range of characters filled by that lady, in which she appears to greater advantage. or embodies so .perfectly the conceptions of the author. Her frank and j o y ous manner, the pure simpl i c i ty, t h e feeling she exhibits in the contest between her wilful, ungovernable spirit and her fervent love. were rendered most eflectiyely and naturally. That it is her favourite performance may be judged from the fact that she chose it for her re-appearance on the stage, which it was supposed she had abandoned for ever. The plot is so familiar to every play goer t h at i t would be a work of supererogation, to mention anything respecting it. Suffice it to say that she was n ever on any former ec-asion mare perfectly at home, or received with a more cordial wele me. Many of her puints elicited the most rapturous applause, a tribute . that was rep eate dl y ac corded to her during the performance. It, is needless to say that the other parts were well and t•tfectr,ely I t i s due to the management to say that . nothr t . g o f a mediocre description is ever permitted this establish • ment.

Fondlovc, and Mr. Stuart, Trio-worth. The house was crowded in every part. ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. - - A crowded house assembled last night to a eleome M. Boutle's re-appearanc after an absence of four years. his welcome was loud and cordial. M. Bouffe's first part was the well known one of Michel Perrin. In this his delineations were more flitishei and exquisite than ever, but perhaps too much of the artist wearer], and the actor had lost somewhat of his simplicity. To be sure that part is a difficult one for an actor who pre tends to nature—a man employed at a s..lary as an agent of the French police, without knowing it, is a character somewhat extraordinary. But in his by-play, and in the natural outburst of feeling where the piece permitted it, M. Boufft exhibited all that power which so many critics have pronounced inimitable. The vaudeville is admirably adapted to display Bouffe's powers, and he invests the role of the ancien cure with the utmost vitality. As the plot thickens, and the honest old starving rcligieux, in order to promote the marriage of his beloved niece, unconsciously accepts the situation of an espion in the secret police, the actor became quite impassioned. The blunders committed by him here, and eventually the service rendered by him to France, were all pourtrayed by M. Bouffe with the utmost naivete ; he, however, appeared to the best advantage in the latter portions of the piece ; when he discovers the base situation he has filled, his honourable feelings revolt at the idea, and the old man is overwhelmed with grief, which is, however, partly assuaged, by his being ap pointed to his old curacy in Normandy. Bouffe's recep tion was that of an old and established favourite, and of a first-rate actor, which he gratefully acknowledged. The other characters in the vaudeville were well sus tained in a very effective manner, by M. Dumery (Desaumais), M. Rhozevil (Bernard), Madlle. Vallee (Therese), &c. At the conclusion M. Boutle was loudly called before the curtain, and again received the applause of the audience. The programme concluded with the vaudeville of Les vices Peches, the character of M. Girard being allotted to M. Bouffe. The theatre was well and fashionably attended.

The once most favourite tragedy, Pizarro, has long lain among the almost totally neglected portions of our dramatic literature ; but Mr. Batty, of " Astley's," has brought it once again into public notice by making it the foundation of "a splendid Peruvian spectacle,' in which the object, it is stated, has been " to realise the beauties of the author " by the varied resources of this well-managed establishment. The idea was excellent, as the incidents introduce admirable opportunities for processions, combats, grand pageants, and all the effec tive displays that are sure to gratify the spectators at this theatre, and are equally sure to be excellently and efficiently arranged. So fur as the different require ments of the plot would allow on the present occasion, the original English text of Sheridan was followed ; and in the inure striking passages (especially the well known address of Rolla), Mr. William West (who has been expressly engaged for this drama) was spirited and energetic. The spec tacle has been produced in the most liberal and lavish style. The scenery is very good; and the cos tumes, properties, and appointments equally deserving of eulogy. The result was complete success: and we trust that a portion at least of the immense popularity that attended the original tragedy will be awarded to this spectacle, so cleverly founded thereon. Several novelties also were introduced in the " Olympic Circus," commenving with the surprising performances of "Ls petite Davison," who h described as " the youngest equestrian in the world;" Let who, however, in the novel and extraordina•y feats en a single horse, showed that, young as she may be, she hts livid long enough to be us much at her t ase on the back of a horse at full ga !hp as other people are on terra firma.

ASHBURTON.—On Saturday and Sunday, in this part of Deynn, we had fine showers of rain fall, and on Mon day it cleared oft, with a bright sunny sky. The wheat and barley fields present a most exhilirating appearance. The otato crops around this town and neighbourhood never looked more promising, and the swarthy appearance of the stalks indicate not the smallest sign of disease. A much larger breadth of land has been sown with potatoes during the last spring than in the two former years, and great at tention is being paid to the potatoes. We trust the crops will repay those persons who use their utmost energies in endeavouring to procure this useful vegetable, as in former years, before the disease presented itself.

DEATH OF SIR RICHARD PLASKET, R.C.M.G. This gentleman, whose name has for many years been fa miliar in the history of our colonial empire, died on the Ilth instant, at Hampson House, Torquay, Devon, aged 65. In early life he formed one of the staff at the Colonial-office, and subsequently held appointments in Malta, Ceylon, and at the Cape of Good Hope ; his career in such respect ex tending over a period of nearly thirty years. He usually acted as public and private secretary to the home Govern ment, and generally gave much satisfaction to all parties. In consideration of his valuable services he received th• order of St. Michael and St. George on its first institution. DR. CHALsunts's B FLAIN.-The cause of Dr. Chal mers's death was generally understood to be apoplexy, but the autopsy has shown it to have been disease of the heart, that organ having to a considerable extent been converted into fatty matter, and so becoming incapable of muscular a ction.
