TWO 111 EN, TWO WOMEN, and a BABY, of the BOSJESMAN or BUSH TRIBE, from the interior of South Africa, a race that, from their wild habits, could never before be lnduced to visit a place o f civilization.

From the Liverpool Journal : —" Bosjesmans, or Bush People, from Southern Africa —Interesting specimens of a most extraordinary race of human beings have been landed in our port; they are the Bosjes mans, or Bush People from the interior of South Africa, of which so mach has been written by the missionaries, and tke few who have travelled to that far distant region. They are natives of the country bordering the Great Orange River, 1,200 or 1,400 miles from Cape Town. They exhibit almost as striking an absence of the intellectual or higher faculties as is observable in the skull of that mockery of humanity, the Baboon, while the preponderance of the animal is al most equally as'great. In every respect they are calculated to excite the greatest astonishment, and to confirm to the full those " Tales of Travellers" which we have certainly been inclined to look upon with suspicion. We could scarcely have credited that such a race could be in existence on the earth. That they are genuine no one can doubt ; in proof of which we give the following extract from a Cape Town Paper of the 24th December, which we have just re• ceived :—" We understand the brig Fanny, Captain Wheeler, which recently left Table Bay for Liverpool, had on board an unusual kind of exportation, viz., two males and two females of the genuine Bush man species; they are in charge of a Mr. J. G. It. Bishop, who has been at considerable trouble and expense in procuring them from the interior. They are authentic specimens of this diminutive and ra pidly decreasing tribe of Aborigines, found only in Southern Africa. For particulars of the habits and disposition of the Bosjesmans, see Professor Leichtenstein's, Barchell's, Campbell's, Backhouse's, Methune's, and Moffatt's Travels in South Africa.

James M Cann, — ;,loti;;;;;an tailor, working in Fleet-lane, was charged with assaulting Maria Partridge, a married woman, about 35 years of age. The complainant stated that her husband carried on a small business as a cook, supplying chops and steaks, tea and coffee, to the men working at the printing-offices in the neighbourhood. The prisoner was an acquaintance and an occasional customer. Yesterday he came in, and had a beef-steak in their parlour, in Fleet-lane. At one o'clock her husband went out with some chops to a printing-office in Bishop's-court, Old Bailey, and while he was gone the prisoner asked her to give him a kiss. She said she would do nothing of the sort, and he pro ceeded to try to get one by force. She struggled with him and foiled him, but ho threw her down upon the floor, and kneeling down, attempted to raise her clothes. This also she prevented, and compelled him to desist by screaming murder, which brought a neighbour to her assistance. Mrs. Waters, the neighbour, said she heard Mrs. Partridge scream " murder" twice. She paid no atten tion to the first call, but when she heard the cry re peated in the course of three minutes, she thought she had better see what was the matter. As she entered the room the prisoner retired to the further end, sat down upon a bed, and hastily adjusted a portion of his dress. Mrs. Partridge was much excited, and had a child in her arms, and she complained that the prisoner had thrown ' lake liberties with RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, MAY 31.

He was told that they had eaten a quantity of rhubarb pudding, and w i s shown the remainder of it, which was lying on the table. From the symptoms which showed themselves he was positive that it was not the fruit in the pudding, but some violent poison that was acting on their consti tution ; and from the metallic taste they described as having in their throat he felt convinced that they had partaken of arsenic. He make known his suspicions to the sufferers, when Mrs. Hickman's sister exclaimed, " It must be that white composition which I found in a bag in the cupboard, and which I mixed with the pudding." Hickman, on hearing that, exclaimed, " My good God, why that is the white arsenic I have years o permit e r age, m i o d of, e d but from o without the had in the house so many years. " M r . Abercrom bie immediately on h ear i ng this a d m i n i s t ere d th e usual antidotes, and did a ll that the nature o f th e case would , beneficial e a ffcts n e y at six o'clock, J ames Hi ckman, a fine youth on l y n i ne 3a of th the p r o e i s s u o l and n t ln the course of an hour and a half afterwards another of the children, named John, three years of age, also ex pired. A third child, aged eighteen months, named Henry, next died. Mary Ann, aged four and a half also died at half-past ten. Seeing that there was little hopes of saving any of the sufferers, Dr. Barnes, of Notting-hill, and Dr. Browne, of Kensal-green, were also called in, but in spite of their utmost exertions they were unable to effect much good, and at eleven o'clock on Sunday night the fifth child, named Harriet Eliza beth, aged six years, expired. Mr. Abercrombie con tinued in attendance throughout the whole of Sunday night and yesterday morning, but in spite of all his efforts the father of the above u nfortunate children died at half-past twelve yesterday. He was only thirty-four years of age, and up to the time of his death he exhi bited the greatest anxiety for the fate of his wife and offspring. Mrs. Hickman, her sister, and her son Thomas, ag e d t w elve years, were at six o'clock last evening all three alive, but it was the opinion of the surgeons that, al though there were strong hopes of the sister and son',, recovery, from the fact of Mrs. Hickman being enceinte, she could not possibly survive many hours. Mr. Aber crombie has taken possession of the remainder of the pudding, and what they had thrown off their stomachs. Tho latter he has analysed and found that it contained a considerable quantity of arsenic, and on questioning Caroline Bonerny, he learned from her that the bag contained at least halt a pound of that poison. The statement made by the husband prior to death, and which was confirmed by his wife, was, that a quan tity of arsenic had been kept in a bottle; but some time since, by mishap, the bottle was knoced down and broken, and the contents were afterwards placed in an old flour bag and deposited in ono corner of the cup board, where it remained until removed by his sister-in law. For what object the poison was in the first in stance obtained, or why it should have been placed in the cupboard, will be fully investigated at the coroner's inquest. The whole of the six bodies were lying last evening in the washhouse adjacent to the cottage, and the imme diate neighbourhood was visited during the day by many thousand persons. The police very properly refused the admission of strangers, who were incessant in their ap plicaticns to view the bodies. DEATH OF THE RIGHT HON. SIR JOHN BECKETT, BART. We have to announce the demise of the Right Hon. Sir John Beckett, Bart., who expired at six a.m., yes terday, at Brighton, the Right Hon. Baronet having re paired to that watering place with the view of regaining his health.

Not upon the principle of "contraries" alluded to by Rory O'More, but because of the extraord nary importance of the subject at this period of scarcity in nutritious articles of consumption, we take the last article in the present number (ccclxxx) of Black wood, the first into consideration. The subject is not just now " the rage" from having tickled the passions of the population. It is neither a ruffianly diatribe upon the dead Liberator, nor an idolatrous panegyric upon Jenny Lind, nor a squib upon the poses plastique, nor a sneering criticism upon " Tan cred,' nor a zoological dissertation upon Bosjesmans. No; the theme is the homeliest conceivable, and for that very reason we have selected it. The heading runs thus- 4 On the Nutritive Qualities of the Bread now in Use ;" and it is written " by Professor Johnston." The paper is really a little master-piece in its way—a pearl from that casket of nature which was first opened, and the treasures of which were first tolerably well rifled by Justus Liebig. We would gladly see this article copied from the pages of Blackwood, and distributed throughout every household in England, Ireland, Scotland, and Berwick-upon-Tweed. We would see it lying on the tables of the palace and the cottage, in the libraries of the nobility and the kitchens of the crofters. Professor Johnston has been actuated by the most benevolent motives in the composition of these few pages ; and the best of it is his benevolence is not comprised in rhetorical flourishes, it is a prac tical evidence of his philanthropy. But to come to the point at once, threader may ask, " what is the purpose of this remaAable contribution?" It is this. Professor Johnston maintains that white bread (mis called the best bread) is immeasurably inferior in the way of nourishment tobrown,or even black bread, (mis called the worst bread). He not merely asserts this : he proves it, first by analytical calculations and secondly by the facts accumulated from actual expe riments. He insists that the whole wheat, the wheat not separated from the bran, or, in other words, the grain mingled with its husks, affords much more nourishment than when it is carefully sifted down to pnre flour, for the gratification of a fastidious taste. 'We will give the very simple and explicit demonstra tion of this, in the words of Professor Johnston him self. He proceeds thus : " The solid parts of the human body consist, prin3i pally of three several portions : the fat, the muscle, and the bone. These three substances are liable to constant waste in the living body, and therefore must be con stantly renewed from the food that we eat. The vege table food we consume contains these three substances almost ready formed. The plant is the brickmaker. The animal voluntarily introduces these bricks iato its stomach, and then involuntarily—through the operation of the mysterious machinery within—picks out these bricks, transports them to the different parts of the body, and builds them into their appropriate places. As the miller at his mill throws into the hopper the un ground grain, and forthwith, by the involuntary move ments of the machinery, receives in his several sacks fine flour, the seconds, the middlings, the pollards, and the bran ; so in the human body, by a still more re itfiohnceea d r s tuy e w a u r lh a ae t rr i m o e n a , i tt t t ehcrea there,nfnato ca nno t oa e nn x l dy t r t a hb c ee t ed bonya n storeddm autpte, depositedrbi un t awt h hh e ei r rr e de , its presence is actually at the moment necessary. " Again, the fluid parts of the body contain the same, substances in a liquid form, on their way to or from the several parts of the body in which they are required. They include alse a portion of salt or saline matter which is dissolved in them, as wo dissolve common salts in our soup, or Epsom salts in the pleasant draughts with which our doctors delight to vex us. This saline matter is also obtained from the food. " Now, it is evident that that food must be the most nourishing which supplies all these ingredients of the body most abundantly on 'the whole, or in proportions most suited to the actual wants of the individual animal to which it is given. " How stands the question, then, in regard to this point and th bet wee e brown le n w t h h o e m eal of d ea V the white—the fine flour " The grain of wheat consists of two parts, with which the miller is familiar—the inner grain and the skin that covers it. The inner grain gives the pure wheat flour; the skin, when separated, forms the bran. The miller cannot entirely peel off the skin from his grain, and thus some of it is unavoidably ground up with his flour. By sifting, he separates it more or less completely; his se conds, middlings, &c. owing their colour to the propor tion of brown bran that has passed through the sieve along with the flour. The whole meal, as it is called, of which the so-named brown household bread is made con sists of the entire grain ground up together—used as it comes from the mill-stones unsiftc-d, and therefore con taining all the bran. The first white flour, therefore, may be said to contain no bran, while the whole meal contains all that grew na turally upon the grain. " What is the composition of these two portions of the seed ? How much do they respectively contain - of the several constituents of the animal body ? How much of each is contained also in the whole grain ? " 1. The fat. Of this ingredient a thousand pounds of the Whole grain contain 2Blbs. Fine Flour 2O Bran So that the bran is much richer in fat than the interior part of the grain, and the whole ground together (whole meal) richer than the finer part of the flour in the pro portion of nearly one-half. "2. The muscular matter. I have bad no opportunity as yet of ascertaining the relative proportions of this ingredient in the bran and fine flour of the same sample of grain. numerous experiments, however, have been made in my laboratory, to determine these propor tions in the fine flour and whole seed of several varieties of grain. The general result of these is, that the whole grain uniformly contains a larger quantity, weight for weight, than the fine flour extracted from it does. The particular results in the case of wheat and Indian corn were as follows :—A thousand pounds of the whole r gr s a p in ec a ti n v d el o y, fLhe fine flour contained of muscular matter e Wheat grain. Fine flour. Wheat .1561b5. 1301bs. Indian corn 140 110 Of the material out of which the animal muscles is to be formed, the whole meal or grain of wheat contains one-fifth more than the finest flour does. For maintain ing muscular strength, therefore, it must be more va luable in an equal proportion. " 2. Bone material and Saline matter.—Of these mi neral constituents, as they may be called, of the animal body, a thousand pounds of bran, whole meal and fine flour, contain respectively— Bran Whole meal , l7O „ Fine flour " So that in regard to this inportant part of our food, necessary to all living animals, but especially to the young who are growing, and to the mother who is giv ing milk—the whole meal is three times more nourish ing than the fine flour. " Our case is now made out. Weight for weight, the whole grain or meal is more rich in all those thre , essential elements of a nutritive food, than the fine flour of wheat. By those whose only desire is to sustain their health and strength by the food they eat, ought not the whole meal to be preferred ? To children who are rapidly growing, the browner the bread they eat, the more abundant the supply of the material. from which their increasing bones and muscles are to be produced. To the milk-giving mother, the same food, and for a similar reason, is the most appropriate. " A glance at their mutual relations in regard to the three substances, presented in one view, will show this more clearly. A thousand pounds of each contain of the three several ingredients the following proportions : Whole meal. Fine flour. Muscular matter ls6lbs. 1301bs. Bone material l7olbs. 601bs. Fat Total in each " Taking the three ingredient s, therefore, togetber, the whole meal is one-half more valuable for fulfilling all the purposes of nutrition than the fine flour—and especially it is so in regard to the feeding of t e b odily the pregnant, and those who undergo much bodily fatigue.' - In the arguments derivable from chemical analysis, we think the foregoing is conclusive enough in all conscience. But Professor Johnston has more to say in explanation of his views, and emphatically observes, that his " theoretical considerations come in only to confirm the results of previous experiments." " Thus, from the experiments of Majendie and others it was known that animals which in a few weeks died if fed only upon fine flour, lived long upon whole meal bread. The reason appears from our analytical investi gations. The whole meal contains in large quantity the three forms of matter by which the several parts of the body are sustained, or successively renewed. We may feed a man long upon bread and water only, but unless we wish to kill him also, we must have the app arent cruelty to restrict him to the coarser kin ds of b read. The charity which should supply white loaves with fin e lingering starvation." instead, would in effect kil l him by a starvation." Having expounded so far, Professor Johnston calcu lates the extraordinary g that must arise from the employment of the whole w heat, or brown bread, or mixture of flour and bran, just as God himself has mingled the two ingredients for our consumption. " First The a mount of husk separated by the miller f rom the wheat which he grinds, and which is not sold for human use, varies very much. I think we do not over-estimate it, when we consider it as formi n g one eighth of the whole. On this supposition, eight pounds of wheat yield seven of flour consumed by man, and one of pollard and bran which are given to animals--chiefly to poultry and pigs. If the whole meal be used, how ever, eight pounds of flour will be obtained, or eight people will be fed by the same weight of grain which i only fed seven before. " Again, we have seen that the whole meal is more nutritious—so that this coarser flour will go farther than an equal weight of the fine. The numbers at which we arrived, from the result of analysis, show that, taking, all the three sustaining elements of food into considera tion, the coarse is one half more nutritive than the fine. Leaving a wide margin for the influence of cir cumstances, let us suppofe it only one-eigth more nutri tive, and we shall have now nine people nourished equally by the same weight of grain, which, when eaten as fine flour, would support only seven. The wheat of the country, in otuer words, would in this form go one fourth farther than at present." Those are surely considerations that should console the multitude under the ravages of the potato murrain. Earnestly do we commend the matter, not merely to the reflection of the public, hut to the domestic ex periment of individuals. By testing the assertions of Professor Johnston, the people will enhance the fat and the osseous and muscular portions of their bodies, and materially decrease the drain upon their purses. To bound from one extreme to the other, we will transcribe the best out of four graceful sonnets by Elizabeth Barrett Browning ; it is entitled " Moun taineer and Poet" : " MOUNTAIKEER AND POET. " The simple goatherd,who treads places high, Beholding there his shadow (it is wist) Dilated to a giant's on the mist Esteems not his own stature larger by The apparent image; but more patiently Strikes his staff down beneatn:his clenching fi 'Mille the snow-mountains lift their amethyst, And sapphire crowns of splendour, '6..z and ni MU, the air around him. Learn from hence Meek mortals, all ye poets that pursue Your way still onward up to eminence ! Ye are not great, because creation drew Large revelations round your earliest sense, Nor bright, because God's glory shines for you." ' Of geographical variety there is abundance in the - present number. One contributor carries us in ima gination with Sir George Simpson in his oveirland i, journey round the world, through "North Anierica,. Siberia, and Russia :" another pictures to us the pre sent condition of "Constantinople and the declining,, state of the Ottoman Empire;" another portrays characteristics of " A Turkish Watering-place ,"1, and a fourth in a pleasant chattering review of Otnoo and Typee, by Herman Melville, gives an agreeable -, summary of " Pacific Rovings." Three seriaJs are continued; namely, the third chapter of "How to Build a House and Live in it ; " an additional' Letter to Eusebius in pursuance of the "Horie tullianw" and the sixth miserable " Letter on the; Truths contained in Popular Su_perstitiong." A clever paraphrase of "The Hymn of King Olaf the Saint;" and a capital critical chapter on the literary labours of " Prosper Merimee," comprise the remainder of the June number. For its pleasant, and instructive contents, Blackwood still continues conspicuous and seasonable. DOMBEY AND SON. No. IX. By Charles Dickens.. Plain Joe, Sir Joey B.—Josh Bagstock—Joseph —rough and tough old J., Sir, will certainly go off one of these days in a, frightful fit of apoplexy. The manner in which ;he is described, namely, as " greatly swollen as to his face," as " puffy," as excessively blue in com plexion, and so forth, affords the reader a sympa thetic determination of blood to the head. At one time,.indeed, Major,Bagstock is said to have " swelled and swelled, and rolled his purple face about, and winked his lobster - eye, until he fell into a fit of wheezing which obliged him to take a turn or two about the room." At another he is depicted as being so painfully influenced by mental excitement and talking iii . wheezy whispers that he "sat gurgling in the throat" - and Watering'at the eyes until dinner was ready."' . A. very " phenomenon of an apoplectic Major is this Major Bagstock, and " Joe B. is sly, sir, de-iilish sly." In the present chapters Carker goes down to Leamington, finds Dombey entrapped by the charms of Edith Granger, and takes an ex cursion with the affianced, the Major, and Mrs. Skewton over Warwick Castle. The haracter of the venerable but blooming Mrs. Skewton, who is always apostrophising Nature and Heart is cleverly sustained. The following sentence contains a bitter moral most bitterly expressed. Mrs. Skewton's maid appears late in the evening, according to custom, to prepare her gradually for night. " At night, she should have been a skeleton, with dart and hour-glass, rather than a woman, this attendant ; for her towl was as the touch of Death. The painted object shrivelled underneath her hand; the -firm col lapsed, the hair dropped off, the arched dark eye-brows changed to scanty tufts of grey ; the pale lips shrunk, the skin became cadaverous and loose ; an old, worn, yellow nodding woman, with red eyes, alone remained in Cleopatra's place, huddled up, like a slovenly bundle, in a greasy flanael gown." Florence completes her visit at Sir Barnet Skettl es', and returns home. Previously, however, to her de parture she is attended by the delicate attentions of one visitor : " This was Mr. Toots, who after renewing, some weeks ago, the acousintance he had had the happiness of forming with Skettles, Junior, on the night when he burst the )3limberian bonds and soared into freedom with his ring on, called regularly every other day, and left a perfect pack of cards at the hall-door ;so many indeed, that the ceremony was quite a deal on the part of Mr. Toots, and a hand at whist on the part of the servant." The introduction of Florence to the lady, who is to be Mrs. Dombey the second, is a beautiful piece of natural and pathetic description. EXETER HALL.—Handei ' s Alexander's Feast and Mendelssohn's Walpurgis Night were performed here yester day evening by the members of Mr. Hullah's upper schools, consisting of a force of 500 voices, besides the principals; supported by Mr. Willy's concert band, strengthened largely for the occasion. The execution of those two fine works was, upon the whole, extremely creditable, the obedience of the troops to the governing baton of Mr. Hullah, who conducted, being prompt and accurate—=demonstrating the efficiency of the system under which such satisfactory results are elicited. The choruses in the Walpurgis Night are far from being light and trivial duties, even with professionals, their chro matic texture and structural intricacy demanding the best experiences in the art of part singing; but these " upper schools" faced them boldly and brought out all their pic turesque points with felicitous crispness and facility. Al to gether, the choral portion of the programme was executed with remarkable skill, a foretaste of which, however, vas given in the recent historical concerts, and tempted the public to expect the excellence it now met with. The solos were assigned to Mr. Manvers, Miss Birch, Mr. H. Phillips, and Miss Duval—all of whom acquitted themselves with their customary ability. The hall was crowded. ROYAL GARDENS, VAUXHALL. The galedens opened for the season last night, and the weather was; most auspicious for the occasion. If variety of entertainments ground a claim for public favour, the proprietors have as suredly established that claim. The orchestra is admirably decorated, or rather re-painted. The ballet of Robert and Bertrand was well got up, and the - artistes, Miss Wright, Mr. Milano, Sac., acquitted themselves admirably.e._. boxes in the amphitheatre were enormously A rwl hopelessthe wonerfu t l o pceorf.ovremyananyces be idofe.atheTtedeovuenn.inwasb.esnitte•wrtaouinh-1 merits were enlivened and varied by a capital brass . band, and a genu-ine band from the Hartz Mountains under the direction of Herr Kettler. The gardens still retain some cf the old attractions, in the shape of the Hermit, Neptune in the Marine Car, &c. In the Waterloo Ground, the "Piece de Resistance consisted of a magnificent structure, modelled with every regard to architectural correctnsss after the Grand Square of St. Mark, Venice, the Palace of 1 the Doge, and Cathedral and Tower of St. Mark. _ It is a most transcendentally beautiful and successful work - of art ; it forms the greatest attraction in the royal property." When this scene was illuminated by the pyrotechnic d'isplay the effect was everything which could be wished. Great credit is due to Mr. Darby, the pyrotechnist, for we. never beheld a more brilliant display. Il Diavolo made his usual descent from the top of the tower on a wire, amidst the fire works. A number of views were shown, which tare well executed, and represent the following places :—Tivoli, near R o me—Heidelburg, on the Rhine—Platt Town, on. ditto— Durham, winter and summer—Valley of Chamouni, Savoy— Salt Plains, Tunis—Tin Mine, Cornwall—Peak Cavern, Derbyshire—Wells Cathedral, moonlight—Ehrenbreihtstein —Fountain Abbey. Every attention was paid to the visitors under the auspices of Mr. Lewis and Mr. Ryan, and we hope the spirited exertions of the proprietors will be net by a liberal encouragement on the part of the public.

A new ballad opera, the libretto written by Mr. E. Fitzball, and the music composed by Mr. J. H. Tully, The conductor of the music at this theatre, was produced here last evening with complete success. It is entitled the Forest Maiden and the Moorish Page, and the scene is laid in England, in the reign of Mary Tudor, better known by the name of " Bloody Queen Mary." Mary, (Mrs. H. Vining,) the cruel and blood-thirsty bigot, is married to Philip of Spain,: - (Mr. Leffler), the licentious bigot. Among the Maids of Honour of the Queen, is Alice Copley, (Miss Rainforth), the daughter of Sir Edward Copley, (Mr. Mc Mahon), a proscribed noble proscribed because he is a heretic, and has dared to think for himself. As his mother, however, has been a good Catholic, Mary takes Alice into her service, and she attracts the attention of the licentious Philip, who makes love to her. His suit is, however, indignantly • rejected, and undeterred by the penalties to which all relapsed heretics are subject, she meets her father in Windsor Park, and is by him affianced to Francis Huntley (Mr. W. Harrison),:the secretary of Philip. Her proceedings are watched by Leon (Miss R. Isaacs), the Moorish page of Philip, who is the spy of the Queen, and who picks up a letter, which Alice has let fall, and gives it to the Queen. This letter is from her father, and Mary immediately orders her to be arrested as a lapsed heretic, giving, at the same time, the letter to Philip. Philip, thinking the accusation of heresy m a y fore and his views, orders Alice in strict custody to the Tower, appointing his secretary, Huntley, governor of the fortress. He goes to the Tower seeking an interview with Alice, and finds that Huntley, acting strictly upon his orders, refuses him admission to her cell, as by the warrant of her commitment no one is to be illowed access to her, but by the especial orders of the Queen herself. In the meanwhile Leon who has discovered that Alice has rejected the suit of Philip, determines to save her, and meeting with the Queen in the tower, tells her that Alice is innocent, and that if she will release Alice the really guilty shall be lelivered into her hands. The Queen consents, and gives Leon her royal signet. Alice is released, and then Leon declares that instead of Leon Leonora de Castro, the former mistress of Philip, , who has followed him from Spain, stands 0 :54 . before her—that through jealousy she has denounced - Alice—and as she .makes the avowal dies, having swal lowed poison. Philip is exposed, Sir Edward Copley pardoned. and Alice and Francis made happy. As far as music is concerned, this, perhaps, is, one of the most unevenly composed operas that ever was presented to the public. Until the finale of the first act all is noisy common place.

The murderer is a journeyman ironmonger named Lloyd, in the employ of Messrs. Welch and Sons. The deceased and pri soner had been drinking at several public-houses, and had quarrelled. When they were going home, at the time above -• stated, and Lloyd,was at his door, he aimed a blow at Phill r-otts with a clasp-knife,. severing tha windpipe. - Mr. Brad- - ley, surgeon, was immediately in attendance, but life was extinct. Inspector Peters was immediately on the spot, and apprehended the prisoner, who is now in custody at the police-station in the town. An inquest will be held to-mor row or Tuesday. ALARMING FIRE. —'WILTON, MAY 30. About half-past ten o'clock last night the inhabitants of this quiet little borough were greatly alarmed at hearing the cry of fire, and on seeing the passing clouds tinged with rising flame. As soon as possible the engines were at the scene of devastation, and a large assemblage of sturdy labourers there, ready to assist in putting a stop to the awfully spreading destroyer. Unhappily their efforts were of but little effect until the engines from Salisbury were brought at a rapid rate, accompanied by the fire brigade from that city, arriving there by about twelve o'clock at night. On approaching the spot where the destruction was spreading, we kund a row of dwellings called Burton's Ball fearfully burning, two already destroyed, one occupied by a tailor named Young, the other by a plumber named Clark ; a third house being partly destroyed. By this time the flames were got under, and the danger materially lessened. By three o'clock, A.M., the re cently burning pile had sunk into a heap of smouldering ruins, and by four o'clock no further danger was to be ap prehended. The property destroyed has not as yet been accurately ascertained. __ TRINITY MONDAY.—Yesterday, according to an nual custom , _ his Grace the Duke of Wellington, as the Mas ter of the Trinity House, accompanied by the elder and junior brethren, assembled in the Grand Hall of the Trinity House, and after partaking of a slight dejeuner, proceeded to the Tower and embarked in their state barges, attended by the officials of the Trinity House, the Master and Wardens of the Watermen's Company, and Captain Fisher, the harbour master, and a strong muster of the Thames police. His Grace was loudly cheered by a large body of spectators on his embarking, as also by the numerous vessels and steamers as they passed down the river. On the arrival of the party at Deptford, his Grace landed, the procession then moved en towards St. Nicholas Church, the children belonging to the Seamen's Orphan School being drawn up in line. The sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. Melvill, chaplain of the Tower and to his Grace. The church was crowded in every part. At the conclusion of Divine service, the Duke of Wellington returned to town in an open carriage and pair, the Brethren of the Trinity returning in the usual manner to Trinity House. HuNGERFORD MARKET COMPANY.—The half yearly general meeting of the proprietors of this company was held yesterday at the company's offices, Villiers-street, Strand.

The of the Bill for the erection of a new bridge at steecrtehtaerywirtheaddrawthael.dibryeettohrs; iert,sr: Commissionershieh, ofaWoods .referringana Forests,vc7•Btmoister, stated that every effort having failed in en deavouring to obtain the right of way reserved by the Linngerford Market Company for steam-boat passengers over the bridge, to and from the pier, toll free, the directors had instituted a suit in Chancery to compel the bridge directors to carry out their agreement in this respect, and the Lord Chancellor had given his opinion that the Market Company were not (as contended by the Bridge Company) bound to distinguish steam-boat passengers who were to have free access and right of passage to the north pier, and to the float pier, whence they were to embark in the vessel; and it was quite clear that permission had been refused by the Bridge Company, and that the Market Company were thereby deprived of their right. In consequence of this, the Bridge Company had railed off, and set apart a six feet right of way over the bridge for steam-boat passengers, which had proved efficient and satisfactory for the pur pose. The report then stated that the revenue of the company continued to improve, which gave great satis faction. The report was unanimously adopted. A vote of thanks was passed to the chairman, board of directors, and clerk, for the efficient and satisfactory m a n ner separated. -T NE• —The following THE FOREIGN MAILS FOR sET • a dinthwehmicheetthinegy had conducted the affairs of the Colonies in :—" Madeira, mon 1, was issued yesterday at made up during the Present notice, giving the dates in twhichth the foreign mails will be St. lo the W t I • es made u p on the morning of the 2d (to-morrow) British and Foreign lathes (except Honduras, Bermuda, and Havannab) and Venezuela will be Mexico, Honduras, and the 17th; to be forwarded via Southampton, the General Post-rfficeco, and Havannah, on the morning of the 2d only.
