By MARY ELIZABETH WORMIIIEY. Tn Three Volumes. " This fiction displays ability of its kind. Miss Wormeley has knowledge of society and much skill in depicting its persons and salient features, with the penetration to pierce below the surface. The characters are wel , conceived and sustained; many parts pos sess considerable and rapid interest, and the composition is buoyant an animated."—" Spectat "This story embodies fourgreat phases of a woman's life, of which love is the active element. It is remarkable for the intensity of the sentiment it embodies, fiir vigorous and polished diction, great range of scene and character, and the originality and mei gy.ot the princi pal p t*sens ; who are drawn by a master hand."—" Weekly Dia patch." . An exceedingly interesting story, related in a style at once sim ple, polished, and eloquent. To enforce the moral that love, not the passion but the principle, infused into our duties, works its own re ward, is the purpose of this pathetic and deeply affecting tale, and that moral is beautifully exemplified throughout the chequered career of the heroine."—" Globe." London: Smith, Elder, and Co., 65, Cornhill. Q IGNS of the TIMES—not the "Daily Times" ►.i or the "Sunday Times," but the black and white ram and snow sort of " times," provoking the skater's wrath by broken sheets of ice, freezing for every one to contemplate, unless they are hahited in warm, firm, and comfortable attire, which, for these " times," should also be waterproof. Their being at this season many counterfeits, it is no way improper to describe the !estates of the genuine article. It should be made of first •rate materials, combining firmness, strength, and superior finish—it should be cut on principles which secure a correct fit, which cause the garments to fall In a graceful manner from the person of the wearer—it should display workmanship which cannot fail, and such as only a thoroughly artistic establishment can exhibit. The Dress to measure or ready made, presented by E. MOSES and SON, possesses all these qualities on the most command ing aspects, and is charged considerably lower prices than at any other house. Its variety affords the amplest choice for Gentlemen or Mechanics, for Sportsmen or Juveniles, on the same terms. Hats and Caps, Hosiery, Boots and Shoes,. &c., of the best, most fashion able, and serviceable character, may be had at E. MOSES and SON'S Establishment or its Branches, for very small outlays. EMIGRATION. Many impositions being practised by persons professing to befriend Emigrants, it becomes imperative that all parties intending to emi grate should purchase all goods required at the well-known and long tried Establishment of E. MOSES and SON. Every article required may be inspected previous to being bought, and being marked in plain figures, at a very low price, affords every opportunity of making a suitable and ec'>nomical selection. A distinct department is kept for Outfitting and Ship sailing information, with full lists of Outfits for ladies and gentlemen, may be had on application, or post free, to any part of the kingdom. CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the untradesman-like falsehood of "Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have No CONNEXION WITH ♦NT OTHER. HOMO IN OA OUT OP LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : London City Establishment, 154, 155, 156, and 157, Mlnories,. 83, 34,85, and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all communicating. London West-end Branch, 506, 507, 508, New Oxford-street, 1,2, 3, Hart-street, all communicating. Bradford (Yorkshire) Branch, 19 and 20, Bridge-street. Sheffield Branch, 86, Fargate. Merchant Tailors, Clothiers, Hatters, Hosiers, Furriers, Boot and Shoe Makers, and General Outfitters for Ladies and Gentlemen. IMPORTANT.—ShouId any article not give satisfaction, it will be exchanged if desired, or, if preferred, the money will be returned without hesitation. All goods are marked in plain figures, the lowest price, from which n• abatement can be made. The Establishments are closed from sunset Friday to sunset on Saturdays, when business is resumed till 12 o'clock. A new Book, entitled " The World's Pharos," containing the Emigrant's Assistant, full list of prices, and directions for self-mea surement, may be had on application, or post-free, to any part of the kingdom.

MEDICAL ADVICE OUTH ON THE U SECRR ITY.ETINFIRMITIES OF Y AND MATIN DR. SAMUEL LA'MERT, 87, BEDFORD-SQUIRE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, and Matricilated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Ilan, London, &0., &c. MAY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile Irregu , strities and excesses, which have pro duced more misery in youth, degradittion in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of life. titan perhaps any other class of dis eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that'there are in exist ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanit y , Unhappy awl Unfruitful Marri ages, .Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, hoW the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its con-equences may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the time l y aid of science cannot apply a cure. DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged In an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and is the only legally qualified rhysician who, regardless has had of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society Is tree. Imselecting till , department of practice, he has been amply rev' arded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which arc too generally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions.

The following testimonia, is another proof of the great efficacy of this medicine : " Winchmore Hill, Middlesex, April 16, 1851. " Sir,—ln consideration of the great benefit I have derived from taking Frampton's Pill of Health, I feel it a duty that I owe to you and the public to send you the following statement. For upwards of nine years I have experienced the efficacy of this excellent medicine. I had long previously been afflicted with headache and indigestion, but a friend having induced me to make a trial of Frampton's Pills, now inform you that a few doses gave me great relief; and during this long period of time I have taken them in preference to any other medicine ; and I have the happiness of saying that I never had a better state of health, which I attribute to Frampton's Pills.

The general haif-yearly meeting of shareholders in the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway was held at the Pa latine-Hotel, Manchester, yesterday afternoon. There was not a very numerous attendance. Mr. T. Barnes, Y.P. for Bolton, presided. The report of the director, and the statement of the accounts, which had been pre viously issued, were taken as read. The CHAIRMAN observed that there was an item in the accounts which might call for a remark. The amount of outstanding accounts due to the company appeared very large, being 397,000/., and the proprietors might b inclined to ask were all these good debts The auditor assured him th4t there was no reason to doubt any of them. More than 250,0001. of that sum was owing to them by other railway companies, including the balance owing from the East Lancashire, the Great Northern, the Leeds Central, and some others. .The remainder of the 370,000/. were what might be called current ac counts, respecting the validity of which the directors had no manner of doubt. There was another item, which the directors bad purposely placed in a prominent posi tion in order that some explanation might be given. It was the extra fortnight's expeuses for wages and stores up to July Ist. This had been the accumulation of the last ten years. The revenue bad alwars been debited with the amount paid each half-year for working thirteen fortnights ; but as there was one day and six hones additional in each year, and two days in leap year, it must of course happen that in some half-year fourteen fortnights would have to be paid for. Had he (the chairman) been aware at the last half -yearly meetin g that they wer e withi n o ne d ay o f an extra fortnight's expenses, which would sweep away nearly the whole of their balance, he should have deemed it his duty to inform the shareholders of the fact. The auditors had received instructions to make provisions against thb recurrence of such a circumstance. The next item in the report •was the loans. The directors had availed themselves of opportunities, as they had been presented, of reducing the amount of interest, and the average rats had been reduced, during the past half-year, from 41. Bs. llid. to 41. ss. 6d. Being spread over so large an area as three millions of course the reduction of the average rate of interest could not be Ter) , rapid ; but considerable amount would fall in dunng the current half-year, and they would have no difficulty in getting money at the rate they had been doing lately, 3i per cent., and in some cases very probably at 34- per cent. The receipts of the line had been going on steadily increasing during the whole year, and were still doing se ; and he had no doubt whatever that the vitality there was in the line' would cause a gradual and constant increase of the receipts. They were, to some extent, checked by the limited amount of their accommodation, and the directors had under their con sideration the subject of increasing it. The disburse ments on the line were heavy in appearance, but, if measured by the number of miles run, and by the amount which had been expended on the working stock, they would not be found to be unduly large. During the year 1852, 14,820/. more had been expended than during the previous year, on railway carriages, e ng i nes , an d tenders ; •and in the half-year, ending Dec. 31st, 1852, they had expended 8,7001. more than in the correspond ing half of 1851. The report explained the nature of the renewals and repairs, and this expenditure was, in the judgment of the directors, well and wisely made, and - the money had been employ e d mu c h ' more benefi cially for the proprietors than if it had remained, in the hands of the bankers as balance. They held that it was tree economy for railway companies to maintain their work ing stock in the highest possible state of efficiency. The work had been done cheaply and effectively, and they had been increasing the capacity, power, and dump bility of the stock which had been replaced. The half year just closed had had to bear more than its due pro portion of the repairs, as 24 out of the 33 carriages re placed had been broken up in former half-years. They also had to make good the damages sustained in the un fortunate accidents during last year. In the inquiry , into the circumstances of the Burnley accident, the coro ner and jury had made some remarks about the carriages not being made of a height, and it was supposed that might have had some influence on that lamentable acci dent. During the past half-year considerable alterations had been made in the carriages in order to remedy this. Although there would not be the same extent of repairs during the current half-year, yet the increased rate of wages and cost of materials would prevent any great re duction of expense on this head. The committee which had been appointed by the directors, as he stated at the last meeting, to inquire into the working expenses, was still sitting, and when their investigation was finished, prudent and effectual means would be taken to reduce the working expenses where it was possible to do se. He believed it was possible to reduce the locomotive mileage, and if they could succeed in that, they would be able to reduce the expenses in that department. He was happy to state that this company was on the most peaceable and friendly terms, and working most cordially with very other railway company. He hoped that the day of fighting and contests had gone past, and that all railway boards would be advised it was for their interest to work amicably and cordially together. The allowance of 20,000/. for the renewal of the permanent way had been exceeded by 4071. during the past half-year, but the re laying had gone on to such an extent that less than half that sum would probably suffice for the next two or three years. Nearly the whole of - the Leeds double line had been re-laid with heavy rails. The East Lancashire Company had projected a duplicate line from Clifton to to Salford, but he was in hopes that this useless ex penditure would be avoided, by some mutual arrange ment being come to between it and this company. Speaking of an individual proprietor on the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, he was quite advised that the day would come when there wou!ci be, to tire an expres sion of Mr. Dugdale, the chairman of the fast Lanca shire Company, •‘ sensible men at both boards," who would resolve that there should he an amalgamation be tween the two companies. That portion of the South port line between Wigan and Southport had been let oa very satisfactory terms, and was expected to be com pleted by next spring. The other part, between Wigan and Manchester, had been re-surveyed by the engineer, and the Southport board had resolved to apply to Parliament for power to deviate from the original line, whereby there would be a saving of several miles in length, and of a considerable amount of the cost, whilst the line would accommodate the district it was intended to pass through quite as well as the original line. The directors recommend a dividend of 3 per cent., and although not so much as they would have liked it was a clear dividend, and obtained after fetching up the arrears of wages and stores, and the heavy extra charges, and after doing more work to the stock than had been done in any previous half-year. He concluded by mov ing the adoption of the report and the accounts. Mr. STEWART (director) seconded the motion, which, after some conversation, was carried. The CHAIRMAN then moved a dividend of 1/. 10s. per share on the 1001. stock, and so in proportion on such of the Manchester and Leeds 100/., 501., 251., and 121. shares, on the Wakefield, Pontefract, and Goole 50/. and 251. shares, and on the Liverpool and Bury and • Huddersfield and Sheffield 501. shares, as have not yet been paid up and converted into stock ; of 4s. 3fd. per share on the 19/. 10s. shares; of 2s. 80. per share on the 161. F Ext e n s i on s h ares; and of 3s. 4id. per share on the West Riding 141. shares, deducting income tax, such dividends to be payable on the 15th inst. i which r.RILEY the meetingseconde dt s h e e pa m ra o t t e i d. on , and it was adopted, after Times.) There is, it has (From been the remarked by an ancient philosopher,, a certain power of long life dependent neither en strength nor health. As in the physical, so in the moral world, there are abuses which seem to draw fresh strength from weakness, fresh vitality from corruption, and fresh longevity from imminent annihilation. Evils far less gross and crying are eradicated by their side—things which flourished when they were already rotten and decayed are swept away, but they continue and endure condemned by every one, yet stricken by no one, with the mark of Cain on their forehead, but also with Cain's impuniv. This has been the fate, the singular destiny, of our Ecclesiastical Courts. They were emphati cally-condemned by grave and learned commissions at a time when common law was regarded as the perfection of reason, equity as a refinement of enlightened justice, and the feudal law of real prod' perty as the noblest monument of the wisdom of our ancestors. Yet these have all had in their turn to bow to the amending hand. Common law pleading is but the shadow of what it was, and the rules of evidence themselves are no longer always construeted for the purpose of shutting out the truth. Equity herself has lost some of her terrors ; suits do not abate with the precision and frecpiency of the glorious days of old; a n d accoun t s are t a k en pan principles more . nearly approximating-to common sense, and less vividly - repugnant to the intention of the parties. Uses are not 'hat they were, nor contingent remainders either, and even the con struction of will s h as no t b een saved from arbi trary innovation. But amid this sudden , terrible wreck and ruin of th e e l emen t s o f our judicial sys tem—amid prostrate columns and fallen porticoes, shattered pavements and choked-up fountains--one sacred edifice still rears its head unscathed and un shaken, complete to its minutest proportions—that edifice is the jurisdiction and procedure of the Ec clesiastical Courts. While everything around them has bowed to the law of change, it may well be the boast of these venerable tribunals that they have come down to us such as the wisdom of our ances tors made them, without the correction of a single abuse or the softening of a single absurdity. Their imposing number, 372, their confined and intricate jurisdiction, their long and tedious written plead ings, their wearisome depositions, in which the examination-in-chief is carefully concealed from the cross-examiner, and the eliciting of truth is con fided to chance instead of design, all mark them out as judicial ouriosities more worthy of note to ananti quary than conceivable in an age where everything else has yielded to the desire of progress and im provement. Yet this has been the fate of the Ec clesiastical Courts. The ravages of time have had no effect on their constitution, and they stand be fore us a full and perfect specimen of the sort of thing which our ancestors were in the habit of en during under the prostituted name of "justice." They had been so long condemned that they eluded inquiry. Their defects were so manifest, that no one thought it necessary to devote himself to their exposure; and thus they have lived on, till their exis tence must seem as marvellous in the eyes of the pub lic whose indignation they have attracted, mocked, and survived. The strangest part of the matteris, that to a procedure the most absurd, and a jurisdiction the most intricate and oppressive, then courts have added sinecures enough to excite the indigna tion of the least sensitive among the advocates of corruption and negligence of the trust confided in them, such as we sho u ld see k f or i n va i n elsewhere. Mr. oore, with ten thousand a-year for doing nothing, and three clerks with eighty pounds a-year for doing everything, arranging our wills in pre mises the reverse of fire-proof, and giving us in ex change for enormous fees nothing but neglect and insecurity, form a picture at once edifying and astonishing. This is the den of monstrous abuses which the Chancellor cannot prevail upon himself to touch—the sanctum sanctoram of iniquity and injustice into which he is not bold enough to enter. Commission has succeeded commission, committee has followed on committee, speech on speech, and bill on bill, yet there stand the Ecclesiastical Courts ; unalterable, unchangeable, steadfast where all is mutability, and unimproved where all else is progress. They received, however, a rude shake on Tues day evening. Mr. Collier's speech, clear and com prehensive in its statements, and bold and sweep ' ing in its propositions of amendment, was well cal culated to show even the most dilatory teat the time for action has arrived ; and, if we rightly un derstand the remarks of the Solicitor-General, we may, perhaps, have no reason to regret that reform has not overtaken the Ecclesiastical Courts at an earlier time, when the true principles of jurispru dence were less thoroughly understood, and the habit had not yet been acquired of viewing the ad ministration of justice as .one grand and connected whole. Had the Ecclesiastical Courts been reformed twenty years ago, it is probable that their existing jurisdiction would have been preserved, and nothing altered except the glaring defects of their procedure, the enormous amount of their fees, the scandalous nuisance of their sinecures, and the negligence With which they perform their duty of custodiers of im portant and valuable documents. But all this, though good, is no longer sufficient. It cannot be endured that a man should be driven into the Eccle siastical Court to obtain probate of a will consti tuting him executor, then into a court of equity to have the will administered according to law, and then into a court of common law to obtain a deci sion as to the rights conferred by this self-same in strument over the real estate. This, we say, might have been tolerated once, but will not be submitted to now. The controversy which has arisen with regard to the union of law and equity has at any rate decided this, and no system of amendment will be accepted by the public which does not give to the tribunal before which the bill i s first brought the power of dealing fully, effectually, and com pletely with all the rights and interests arising under it. Providing this be done, it is compara tively of minor importance whether the granting of probate be handed over to any one of the existing forms of tribunal, and we trust that if we have waited long we are about to receive from the ame- WEST ConNwem.—The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors was held at the company's office at Penzance, on Monday—Mr. H. 0.

THE WORKING MEN'S TESTIMONIAL TO SIR ROBERT PEEL.—A deputation from the acting committee, con sisting of Mr. Hume, Mr. Wyld, Mr. Macphail, Mr. Yates, Mr. John Sharpe, and Mr. Dean, had an inter view on Tuesday last, at the Admiralty, with Sir James Graham, Sir Edward Ryan, the Right Hon.

When this interesting testimonial is completed, it is intended to present a copy, framed and glazed, to her Majesty, to the houses of Par liament, the British Museum, the corporatism of Lon don, and certain literary and scientific institutions. The object is to apply the interest of the fund subscribed, under the direction of the college in the purchase of useful literature for the working classes, which is to be presented annually to various mechanics' and literary institutions throughout the United Kingdom.

EXTRAORDINARY ELOPEMENT AND ROBBERY.—The city of Salisbury has been the scene of considerable excitement during the last few days, in consequence of a discovery that Mrs. White, wife of the landlord of the Wheatsheaf Commercial Inn, had suddenly decamped, taking with her cash belonging to her husband amount ing to no less than 5001. Mr. White for some years kept the Wheatsheaf Inn, and having lately resolved upon quitting the business, a purchaser for the same came forward in the person of Mr. Ferman, for 5001. On Saturday last the money was paid over, and Mr. and Mrs. White proceedee upstairs to place it in some safe depository. She unlocked the secret escritoire, into which she dropped the cash. Mrs. White then appa rently locked the bureau, and gave her husband the keys, desiring him to go and make merry down stairs with some of his old customers for the last time as land lord. He unsuspectingly complied, and shortiy after wards the wife left the house in her walking-dress to visit a friend or two in the city promising to return again shortly. As evening wore on, and she did not return, the husband's suspicions were aroused, and it was ascer tained that she had taken her departure for London. Subsequently search disclosed the fact that the bureau was unlocked and the esaritoire quite empty, the wife having abstracted the money, besides some pounds of her own, and some articles of wearing apparel. Some mouths ago a dashing corporal in the recruiting service was quartered at the W heatsheaf, and his extremely obliging and affable conduct to the landlady was the subject of general remark, He recently purchased his discharge, and about a fortnight ago left Salisbury for London. He was in the city that day, whence he took the train for London.

The accounts from Australia by the Overland Mail reach to the Gth December, being about 10 days later than those received on Monday via the Cape of Good Hope. It appears that the amount of gold brought down to Melbourne from the Mount Alexander mines during the last week or two had very much diminished, but this seems partly attributable to the circumstance of a number of persons having been attracted to a new and ex .ceedingly rich gold field discovered at the Pyre noes " not far from the celebrated Daisy Hill," while other large parties had left for the purpose of exploring fresh districts where there would be less competition. The newspapers also attribute the falling off to an indulgence by the miners in unsuccessful speculations, stimulated probably by the large influx of inexperienced people which was daily taking place. Mr. Latrobe, the Governor of the colony of Victoria, had started on a tour of in spection of the mines, and a dinner had been given to Mr. Hargreaves, who arrived on a visit from New South Wales, at which he stated that, "in his opinion the ' Australian gold fields will last long after the present generation," There was more facility in getting crews, owing to the sailors at the diggings having become tired. of ,the work. The question of an export duty on gold had been set aside by the Legislature, who had also rejected, but by a majority of only 15 to 13, a motion of _want of confidence in Mr. Latrobe's Government. A bill which had been passed with the view of establishing a surveillance over the escaped convicts constantly arriving from Van Diemen's Land had been met by the strongst denunciations from the convict interest in that island. Provisions of all kinds, although still very dear, had fallen conside rably. The present news was brought by sailing vessels to Ceylon and Madras, and the subjoined paragraph is from the Ceylon Examiner : "The Great Britain, with her 650 passengers, had ar rived safely. One, death only, that of a Chinaman, had occurred on the passage. The yield of gold in several districts, Ovens, Mount Alexander, and Bendigo, had fallen off considerably, and the price of a great many articles had fallen in the same ratio. The local journals, however, appear to consider the depression attributable to unsuccessful speculations, and that there is no real cause to believe the gold is come to an end. In the meantime the gold returns by escort have decreased very much, varying from 5,000 to 6,000 ounces per diem— little enough as representing the earnings of a popula tion of 80,000 people." We extract the Gold Circular, of Messrs. Probert and Co.:— ‘' "The present unsettled state of the Victoria diggings, some of which appear to be almost exhausted, and others to be partially deserted by their former occupants, who are now scattered over the face of the country searching new fields for their labours, has caused a small panic among those who imagine that the gold fields yet ex plored are all that exist. From those observations we are able to make, we do not participate in such a de sponding view of things ; and, while each succeeding escort brings down a less quantity of gold than might be expected from the number of the floating population at the diggings, we hear that thousands are occupied in prospecting, and that vast numbers have wasted time by journeying unsuccessfully to reported new fields. "The price of gold was 31. 9s. 9d. the ounce at the latest dates. Its lowest was 2/. 15s. four months since." The following further particulars are from the Columbo Observer:— "To Captain Scowcroft, of the ship Severn, we are indebted for Melbourne papers to the 30th November. Some of the older gold-fields appear to have worked out, but others equally prolific had been discovered. The Legislature had been busy debating the gold duty ques tion, and had managed to s h e l ve th e pro j ect f or s i x months. A motion of want of confidence in Mr. La trobe's Government had been keenly debated, and was ultimately lost by 13 to 15. It is very plain that Mr. Latrobe had had a most difficult part to perform, and, as far as we can see, he has met such an emergency as never befell a colonial governor with prudence and promptitude. He has directed dignified but conciliatory replies to be returned to the comihittee of diggers ap pointed by a great meeting to represent their grievances, especially their want of protection for life and property, and the monopoly of food attempted to be set up by certain parties. Even on this latter point he promised to meet their wishes, by reserving from occupation ' under pastoral licence such, portions of pasture land as may be considered necessary for the gold fields.' His Excellency acknowledges with regret the existence of bad characters at the mines, and the numerical ineffi ciency of the police, traceable to circumstances as unfore seen as they were beyond control. He promises to apply the IheLflreumx of immediately. escaped convicts nicts from Van Diemen's Land had induced the Victoria Legislature to pass a bill called the Convicts Prevention Bill. The object seems to be to subject suspicious characters to a strict exami nation. This measure had excited the indignation of the convict interest in Van Diemen's Land. At a great and most uproarious meeting there the bill had been fiercely denounced as an unwarrantable interference with her Majesty's prerogative of mercy. At Mel bourne flour, bread, potatoes, and other great neces saries of life were selling at prices more moderate than those lately quoted. The 41b. loaf had fallen from 2s. 6d. to ls. 6d. An American paddle steamer of 1,000 tons was to be diverted from California to Australia • and the Magnolia, 700 tons, had arrived from New York with 100 first-cabin passengers, and 138 in the steerage. Many of the newly arrived military, we .bserve, had bolted.' " Among the Sydney papers just received is a copy of the Herald of the 26th October, which was missing from the last files, and was known to contain a more specific account of the Aus tralian Agricultural Company's gold deposits on the Peel river than had previously been pub lished. It confirms the statement, that, on the side of the river belonging to the Crown, the gold found thus far had been scanty, but that, on the opposite land of the company, the exist ence of a very rich and valuable gold field had been established beyond all doubt. It was supposed, also, to be very extensive, but this had not yet been accurately ascertained. The alluvial diggings on the banks of the river consist principally of a thick feruginous clay, and the gold is obtained very near the surface. "In some instances," it is added, " nuggets are found clinging to the roots of the grass." " But," the report continues— " It is supposed that the greatest wealth of this field consists in its quartz ridges, of which two had been dis covered. One of these had been traced a considerable distance, and the quartz is about nine inches wide. It appeared to bear gold very largely, and where it was opened on the summit of one of the ranges 16 ounces of gold were taken out, and a number of very rich speci mens, which have been sent home to the Court of Di rectors in London. Over these ridges, on the surface, large blocks of quartz are found, and you can scarcely pick up a lump in which specks of gold may not be seen with the naked eye. There is not near so much quartz as at Louisa Creek, but it seems to bear gold much more universally, and consequently it is anticipated it will pay better for working. It is intended to keep these ridges closed until instructions are received from the Court of Directors at home." The Peel River Mining Company have just is sued a notice inviting tenders from individuals or companies who may desire to enter into arrange ments for gold mining on the Peel on terms of mutual advantage. DEPARTURE OF FEMALE FALIGRANTS FOR AUSTRALIA. —Yesterday morning a very interesting scene was wit nessed at the London station of the Blackwall Railway, a large number of young women having arrived there for the purpose of proceeding to Gravesend, there to embark on a vessel which was lying off and waiting to convey them to the Australian colonies. The young women, who formed the 30th party of emigrants sent out under the auspices of the Female Emigration Society in Trafal gar-square, of which the Right Hon. Sydney Herbert, M.P., is chairman, attended St. Peter's Church, Saffron hill, on Tuesday evening, where a sermon was preached to them by the Rev. George Mansfield, M.A. ; and it was arranged that they should meet, in company with their friends, on the following (yesterday) morning at Fenchurch-street, from which station they were conveyed to Blackwall. On reaching Gravesend they went on board the Madagascar, a fine vessel, belonging to Mr. Green, which has been fitted out in such a manner as to conduce to their comfort during their long voyage. A large number of visitors attended, including several clergymen and gentleman who take an interest in pro moting emigration upon proper principles. In the after noon the emigrants took leave of their friends, who re turned to town, and the scene was of a most affecting and touching character. Arrangements will be made fcr sending out another party nf young women under the same uspices as soon as circumstances will admit. ST. PAUL'S, COVENT-GARDEN.—Yesterday, in conse quence of the late severe and inclement weather, a very liberal supply of tickets for coals, bread, meat, and pota toes was distributed among the necessitous poor of the above parish by the rector, the Rev. Henry Hutton, and the churchwardens. A similar charitable manifestation was evidenced on St. Thomas's-day last, to the poor i nhabi tants of this parish, whose circumstances are sensibly. benefited by these considerate acts of parochial benevo lence. FRIGHTFUL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—This morning the 4 o'clock passenger-train from Tynemouth, on the York, Newcastle, and Berwick Railway, got partially off the line, after clearing the Willington viaduct, on its way to Newcastle. The engine, tender, and van were thrown over the embankment, killing the engine-man, and seri ously injuring the stoker, who has been taken to the in firmary. The guard is hurt. Fortunately the coupling chain broke, or the entire train would have been throw n several are br u i ae d , over, and many passengers killed ; This Day, Two Volumes, Post Octavo, Eighteen Shillings. JESUIT EXECUTORSHIP ; or, Passages in efi the Life of a Seceder Irom Romanism. An Autobiography. The present work professes to he an autobiography, and there is nothing in it inconsistent with its being a s:ory of real life. The perils which environ those who are exposed to Jesuit influences are vividly set forth in the narrative. The book does not directly attack any rel.gious tenets, but it exposes the mental and s cial despotism exercised by those who hold particular doctrines of the Roman Catho lic Church. Some parts of the work are very powerfully Written, and display graphic power and dramatic effect. The appendix con tains facts and documents which illustrate and establish the truth of the statements of the story. The Jesuits have, at various times been expelled even from Roman Catholic countries. A work like the present shows good reasons for the feelings entertained towards them in England, and reveals the social wrongs which are ofien done by those who wear the mask of religion. The characters are ably drawn, and the incidents of the narrative told with much skill and power.—Literary Gazette. London : John W. Parker and Son, West Strand. PATRON-H R. H. PRINCE ALBERT.
