OPENING OF THE PORTS LORD RUSSELL, and Co., It appears, have resolved To amend the dilemma in which we're involved, And the ports of the realm, which so long have been shut, Will, doubtless, be open'd withoat " if " or " but." You perhaps may suppose, from the way we commence, We shall write in a strictly political sense ; But no, worthy reader, E. MOSES and SON In political matters would meddle with none. The ports being open'd to let in the grain Will he treated in rathar a different strain. E. MOSES and SON have their own open ports, For matchless habiliments—dress of all sorts. By MOSES and SON was the first effort made To open the ports in the tailoring trade. They exposed the high prices which governed the d ay, And threw down the harrier that lay in the way ; And Quickly Ecenomy's flag was unfurl e d To all in the widely-inhabited world. E. MOSES and SON have created a stir Throughout the vast realm by the good they confer ; Acid none can be found in the kingdom dispos'd For the ports of E. MOSES and SON to be clos'd. LIST OF PRICES.

Each of the blocks weighs about seven ounces, and they are to be used by the pencil-makers for such different qualities of pencils 1111 are known by the centre letters stamped on the blocks. These blocks being already tempered for inch degrees of hardness and colour as the letters indicate, cannot be made harder, or treated In any way to make them harder, without injury to their quality. The blockitere thus ready for inunecilate use, of all degrees of colour and hardness, and possess great advantages, in the uniform quality in the letter, and in the size of the block, which. being twe inches and a quarter square, and about one inch thick, enables the maker to have but one joint in each pencil.

My dear Sir—l ha ve tried your blacklead pencils, and find the drawings made With them are of a beautiful colour, de not smudge, by conunon friction, bnt are entirely removed by Indian rudder ; they also work smoothly and without fear of the lines drawn with them being checked by grit, or breaking. In every way I consider them most satisfactory and very superior to any pencils I have ever used, and shall take every opportunity of making their qualities known to my friends and brother Artists, that the same advantages of your valuable production may be enjoyed by others, as by. my dear Sir, yours very truly, To W.

My dear Brockedon,—L lave much pleasure in subscribing to the fact that you have perfected a material which will obtain the grateful acknowledgment's of every artist. Indeed, Ido not hesi tate to pronounce the pencils made with your Patent Pare Plumbago perfect. They are remarkably even in Vat free from grit, or dust, firm in texture, and possess every degree of colour, from the archi tect's outline to the broad and deepest shadows of a finished pencil drawing. • The following Is the result of my having tested them separately, 111111 and RH are degrees of a clear tint, each suetaining the firmest pressure.

My dear Brockedon,---I am so delighted with the blacklead pencils which yon sent to me for trial, that I shall feel obliged by your let ting me know, without delay, where I can get a few more of them, particularly the to go on with. Having tried them on some of the architectural subjects of my forthcoming work on Egypt and Nubia, and findiag them so superior to everything of the kind I have hitherto been in the habit of using, I ant convinced that whoever gives them a trial will immediately adept them in preference to all others. The best. wish I can offer to you is, that the inventor may come in for a fair share of the profit which must arise from their becoming universal. With my sincere thanks for this discovery, and best wishes for the success it so justly merits, believe me, FaltbAuly and truly yours. W. BroCkedon, Esq. DAVID ROBERTS. From Richard Westmaeott, Edq., F.R.S., A.R.A. Wilton-place, December 22, 1845. My dear Brockedon,—l am desirous to oiler you my sincere ac knowledgments, in addition to the numerous compliments and thanks you doubtless have received, for the service you have done artists in producing such a perfect quality of lead pencil as is shown in the specimens you were so kind as to give me. My practice is . confined, and, therefore, I have little occasion in any drawing for the extreme " herds," or for the double or treble B. But I most grate fully acknowledge an excellence In H, HE, and F, which work freely without grit or scratching, are of good colour, and rub out clean. Tours, very sincerely, RICHARD WESTMACOTT, Jun. From G. Wellwri Shepherd, Req. 34, Great James-street, December 23, 1845. Dear Sir,—l am very sorry that I have lost the opportunity, from being oat when you called, of congratulating you in viva yore on the pencils you so kindly sent to me. I have carefully tried them, and in truth, they are excellent; for they arc perfectly free from grit, and will resist pressure. I am deeply in crested in the EftIOCEIS of your valuable discovery.—Believe me, dear sir, truly 3 ours, W. Brockedon, 14sq. G. WELLWYN SHEPHERD. From J. B. I'apworth, Esq, Vice-President Institute of British Architects. 10, Caroline-street, Bedford-square, January 6, 1840. My Dear Sir, Many thank. for the case of pencils, which possess exactly those qualities which have been so long required for archi tectural and engineering purposes, and by every artist. Their easy working without grit from their pure tied equable lead, and unifor mity of colour in long use, render them so desirable that I beg to suggest that thinner pencils should be made of HUH and MI for the supply of compasses. —I am my deer. sir, yours ever, W.

My dear Brockenden,—lt affords me great pleasure to give my unqualified approbation of your new compressed lead pencils.

My Dear Ni',—! feel extremely obliged for the specimen of black lead pencils you have sent me, of which the lead is manufactured by your patent process. I have tried them, and I have no hesitation In saying that they are the best pencils I ever used. They have all the degrees of hard ness. and every variety and shade of colour, that can be required •by an artist. The lead is perfectly tree from grit ; and I can point these pencils much more easily, and when pointed they do not break, as other pencils generally do. I am so entirely satisfied with these pencils, that I have pur chased si supply of them for my own use; and I cannot but think them a valuable acquisition not only to artists, but to every one re quiring the use of pencils, With many thanks for them, I remain, my dear Sir, youts faithlully, Rllliam Breckedon, Esq„ & c . WILLIAM WTON. From T. L. Donaldson, Esq., Istitute o( British Architects, Professor of Architecture to University College, London, &c.

My dear Sir,—Pray forgive me for net having acknowledged your letter earlier. I have delayed writing from time to time that I might give myself the opportunity of trying fairly your preparation of plumbago. This I have now done, and can report with confi dence upon the penells ; nor do I think there is anything wanting to their excellence. The chief beauty of them lies in the evenness of quality in the lead and absence of gritty particles. They are, in deed, most pleasant to draw with, and yield freely to that little accent in touch which the artist delights in. I have tried them in simple line on wood-block, and I have tried them in landscape and foliage, on several sorts of paper, and each trial has proved them satisfactorily.—Believe me, dear Sir, yours ever truly, W.

My dear Sir,—l am quite ashamed that I have only in the last few days had an opportunity of trying as I wished the pencils you were good enough to send me. I think them by far the best I have ever used, they are especially suited for drawing upon wood, the compact ness and quality of the lead making a clearer and more distinct line than any pencils I have before used.—Believe me, my dear Sir, ever truly yours, THOMAS CHESWICK, W.

" Kew Observatory, Monday. • My dear Sir,—l beg your pardon for yaving se long delayed to express my opinion of your Patent load in pencils ; but I do not regret very , much the omission, because it has given me time to test the specimens fairly whilst making my drawings for the report con earning this Observatory to the British Assnejation. I may consciennonsly say Butt I never used a poucile*l speak of the Hit at this moment—with more satisfaction. It was smooth; equally hard throughout, and possessed a quality which the harder sort of pencils hitherto used are deficient In, viz., blackneso. Before I had tried them all, Baron de Walterhausen and Professor Kriel, of Prague, came here, and were so enamoured of them that they not only took them per force, but almost abused me for not being able to give them a nearer address than Cheapside or the City road, for procuring a stock to take home. I will thank you to put me in the way of giving better direotions in future. Yours very sincerely, FRANCIS ItONALIAL Brockedon. Esq. From Major-General Colby, ajt.

T. WILLMORE. To . W. Brockedon, Esq From Hi. Edward Duncan. 2, Ifornington-place, May 11, 1846. My dear Sir,—l have great pleasure in adding mine to the many favourable testimonials you have received of the great superiority of the black lead manufactured by your patent process. I have tried the spe linens of pencils you were so kind as to send me, and I have IID hesitation in stating that, in .12y opinion, they possess every quality, in a superior degree, that the artist can require. Believe me, my dear sir, yours very truly, To William Brockedon, Esq., F.R.B. E. DUNCAN. Extract from "Elf tents of Art," by J. D. Harding, Esq., p. 94, Third Edition. " Recently the quality of lead pencils, both for purpesee of art and for general use, has been greatly improvea,in consequence of the dis covery, made by my friend Mr. Brockedon, of the mode of preparing pure plumbago. For years no fresh lead has been obtained from the Cumberland mines, and the last having been exhausted long ago, lead pencils were getting every day worse, and insufferable from grit. To remedy this, composition pencils have been manufactured ; but these possess no lustre or depth of colour, and it Is difficult, some times impossible, to efface their markings. Br Mr. Brockedon's Invention we obtain the pdre black lead in all its lustre and depth of colour, without a particle of grit, and of any degree of hardness or softness ; and the markings *am are all easily effaced. So great is the tmprovementin all respects. even over the pure plumbago in its native state, that t may truly be said that until now a perfect lead pencil has been unknown. Lead penal from Mr. Brockedon's Pure Plumbago are now manufactured by Messrs. Morden and Co , and by Messrs. Winsor and Newton." Extract from an Address delivered at the Anniversary Meeting of the Geological Society of London, 1846, by Leonard Horner, V.P.R.S., President of the Society. " Every year has disclosed new facts In confirmation of the theory, that accumulations of detrital matter were transformed into their pre sent condition mainly by the action of heat, accompanied by other che mical actions, and the powerful agency of steam and elastic forces under enormous pressure. A very Ingenious process, invented by Mr. Brokedon, described in a short paper real before us last year, by which he converts, under very powerful pressure, the powder of graphite into a solid mass having a concholdal fracture, and undistin guishable from the most compact native black lead, shows that pres sure alone may convert tine detrital matter into solid stone.

Sir,—l cannot help exptessing my astonishment in the effect I have experienced in taking your Pills far the Poi ‘ it. I washakesi on Thurs day night so severely with it at to be w:tu difficulty able tO get on. of my bed, and atter I arose I had severe pains, followed on with In flammation of the foot increasing. I took three of your rills, and within two hours I found the pain to entirely cease. I afterwards took two Pills at a dose twice in the day, and I am, thank God, this ' morning able to walk without the slightest inconvenience. I found In a previous very severe attack very great relief; I had the pains In my knees and thighs so very severe at that time, I thought I must have died. and that it must have gone into my stomach. At that time I had resort to your Pills, and they relieved me—within two hours I was quite easy. The use of these Pills ought, really, to be known all over the world. I have a brother, a young man, that suffers horribly with it, and his greatest relief and preventive has , been your Pills. Make what use you please of my report. rely and respectfully, .

We ate glad to find that iti t clp . ngsrry, pi id Ward has b een attentive - to the wants of the people--ml 2 -his—liighland estate ever,since dearth or scarcity of prbstigibnes - vas feared. By a •letter from his Lordship's factor, Mr. Scott, to a pentleman in town, we learn teat not only has his Lordship prOvided ample work for all the labourers, women, and boys, on his estate, who - are capable of working, and that at very ample rates of wages, but that he also supplied from fifteen to twenty bolls of meal weekly to the very poor and infirm, gratis ; to the less poor at half or two-thirds of the prime cost ; and to the able-bodied labourers at the prime cost of meal in October last. Besi les this, his Lordship has an nually expended. in improvements in Glengarry the whole rents of the estate, less only public burdens and expense of management; and farther, his Lordship'pays all his tenants' shares of poor-rates and income-tax. From Arisaig, January 19 :—" As the potatoes have always been the staple food of the people of this country, their ,state of destitution for the last half-year may easily be imagined, and but for the aid afforded them, their condition would have been deplorable. The noble proprietor, besides -the supply regularly given to the poor who receive parochial aid, ordered meal to be given to the old and infirm who cannot work ; and in December last gave two bolls of oat nieal each to. thirty-three families, tenants. This month his Lordship-hai given them work at draining, trenching, and im pf6vine; land, for which they receive meal in payment. The Free Church have a store here, i and a weekly supply is 'fven from it to - such as are not n either of these classes. he ensuing half-year will press more heavily on the poor, as the little that some of them had has been exhausted. Many also who have land wilt' not have seed: - This- is an important matter; and we hope it will be a subject of serious considerattori." A Skyecorrespondent writes as follows, under the date of the 14th inst.:—"The been remarkably fine for this time of the year. It is mild and dry, 'Without frost ; and, were it not for the low eleva tion attained by the sun, even at mid-day, and the shortness of his circuit, one would suppose we bad April or October in place of dreary winter. By the aid affore ,, d by proprietors and poor's boards in the western part of Skye, the people are upon the whole as well supplied as the circumstances of the case can well admit of. We are in daily expectation of hear ing as to what is doing in reference to our condition in the south, and that we shall have assistance soon from that quarter, which is certainly required. There was a meeting of the poor board of Durinish at Dunvegan yesterday when the supplies so timeously and humanely given out by direction of the chairman, Macleod, of Macleod, were sustained by the other heritors. A discretionary power was still continued to the inspector, to supply occasional aid. Petty thefts of tur-: nips, fowls, parcels of corn, &c., sometimes take place among us, but the wonder is that they are not of morafrequent oc currence, and of greater extent." Another correspondent mentions that Macleod of Macleod is making preparations for commencing a brick and tile work on the farm of Bay. A person has been lately on the spot (engaged from Northamptonshire) to conduct the preparatory operations, and the locality is said to be highly favourable for a brick manufactory. We understand that there is now a Government steamer in South List, from which barley-meal is sold at prime cost. The people are gladly availing themselvesof this opportunity to purchase food, and will spend all their little supplies 'in laying in provisions. The consideration now is to provide for the future, as in a short time both money and meal will be exhausted.—lnverness Courier. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PorrrsmouTsr, Jnv. 29.—Her Majesty's brig Mutine has been directed to 'land her packages, and send her super numeraries for South America and the Brazils to the Vincent. She is ordered to Lisbon with dispatches for Vice- Admiral Sir William Parker, and then proceeds to the Medi terranean. The Medea steamer, after depositing the - remains of the late Commander Hamond at Yarmouth, in the Isle of Wight, is to be paid wages, and also proceed to the Tagus. She will take all the supernumeraries collected here for the squadron, and then go on to the East Indies, calling at the Cake of Good Hope to'coal and water. • HER MAJESTY'S STEADIER SPHYNX—The reports this morning from the officers state that the gala of the 27th inst. had been felt in Brook Bay, that the rollers had come in with great force, causing the sea to reach the Sphynx, and after high water it was found that she had been dis lodged from her former position, and lifted higher on the beach, nearly . her own breadth. This is a ierious hindrance to the operations. centemplated. The camels, &c.,' are all prepared, and it the Echo's engine s are re p a i re d in time, they start in the morning; The Crocodile has been prevented from going to Cork by bad weather and foul 'winds.' ;She is now ordered to take a party of stokers 'for Admiral Sir Hugh Pigot, to distribute among the steam-vessels now employed on the coast of Ireland. The Belleisle, troop-ship, is reported ready by to-morrow for any service the Admiralty may require. A detachment of Royal Marine Artillery are fitting Lieutenant Robert's mortar in the Curlew brig, under his directions, and in' the course of next week she will be towed to St. Helen's for the experimental firing of the shells. The Porcupine steamer went to Yarmouth this afternoon with a party of seamen and riggers, and a great supply of stores of every description requisite to assist in moving the Sphynx. The Pelican brig has been lent by the Admiralty to the Customa department for the use of the coast guard. ENROLMENT OF THE DOCKYARD ARTIFICERS.—In furtherance of the arrangements ordered by the Admiralty circular for this purpose, Commander Ravrt .Jenaer, recently' promoted, is appointed to superintend the drilling of the battalion in the ship-gun exercise. The number of volun teers from this dockyard amounts to 2,000. The enrolment into different companies and battalions will take place imme diately. The drill is to commence on the Ist of April. WOOLWICH, JAN. 29.—The Medea staam-vessel, Com mander Mason, son of fear-Admiral Sir Francis Mason, K.C.8., left Woolwich yesterday for Portsmouth, and was to convey the remains of her late Commander, Graham E. W. Hamond, to Yarmouth. in the Isle of Wight. The Centaur steam-fri;ate went down the river yesterday, and had upwards of 400 tons of meal and rice on board for conveyance to the Hebrides. The Odin steam-frigate, designed by Mr. Fincham, and similar in tonnage to the Sidon steam-frigate, proceeded on Tuesday on her experimental trip as far as the Mouse Light, and attained a speed of nearly eleven knots per hour, al though not sufficiently immersed to test her full speed. The engines were made - and fitted by Fairbairn and Co., and worked very well, and from the result of the trial she is ex pected to be one of the fastest large steam-vessels in the royal navy. Mr. Atherton, assistant to the chief engineer, attended on board to report her capabilities. The Rosamond steam-vessel was taken out of the basin to-day. The Tartarus steam-vessel has her steam up, and will leave to-day for Portsmouth and Ireland. CHATHAM, JAN. 29.—The Birkenhead steam-frigate, Com mander A. H. Ingram, arrived here on Saturday afternoon, the 23d inst., and dropped alongside the Fortitude coal depot, and she completed shipping her coals on Tuesday last, amounting to nearly 400 tons. A case or two of small-pox broke out on board, and the individuals were immediately removed to Melville ,Hospital; and those on board who had not had that eruptive distemper, or been hitherto vaccinated, had to undergo the operation. A few small repairs to the ship having been completed, she will to-morrow be removed to Gillingham-reach, and the reserve battalion of the 56th Regiment will embark on board next Monday to proceed to Gibraltar. The strength' of the battalion consists of 28 ser geants, 10 drummers, and 536 rank and file, with the regular complement of women and children, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel P. S. Norman, with the following officers : —Brevet-Major C. O'Connor Higgins, Captain W. A. Con ran, Captain A. W. Byles, Captain G. W. Patey, Captain R. W. Lacy, Captain R. Anderson, Lieutenant A. Mac donald, Lieutenant H. C. Lauauze, Ensign H. J. Tolcher, Ensign F. W. Fellows. Ensign W. Clutterbuek, Ensign G. Thorne, Ensign J. H. Humphrey, Ensign S.W. F. Cheetham, Lieutenant and Adjutant F. Ramsay, Quarter-master J. Swains, Assistant-Surgson S. W. Deeble, and Assistant-Sur geon May. The reserve battalion leaves at this garrison a depot of about 60 men, in charge of Brevet-Major J. Wigg. with Lieutenant J. S. Saunders, and Lieutenant G. S. Hanson. A detachment of this regiment, consisting of two sergeants, two corporals, and 26 privates, in command of Lieutenant J. S. H. Farrar, proceeds on Saturday _morning for Sheerness, there to embark on board the vessel Carus to proceed to Gib raltar with convicts. The Daphne, 18 guns, Captain Onslow, was paid off into ordinary on the 26th instant. The marines, consisting of two sergeants, one drummer, and 23 privates in charge of Lieutenant R. Farmar, join their head-quarters at this division. Colonel J. Irving, late of the Royal Artillery, and recently appointed director of engineering and architectural works, in room of Captain 13randretb, and Mr. Owen; chairman of the committee on metals, paid an official visit to this yard on the 26th, and on the following day proceeded to Sheerness yard, and returned to this yard the time day. Captain Mould, Royal Engineers, director of works, attended the above two gentleman in their inspection. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE IN A COURT OF JUSTICE.— At the Chester sessions, last. week, three prisoners, Philip Dixon, H. Conley, and Eliza Dixon, were indicted for bur glary. Dixon pleaded guilty; the other two prisoners not guilty. The Recorder—You are charged, Dixon, with hav ing committed this offence after having been previously con victed of felony. I caution you that pleading guilty will not make any difference in the sentence that may be awarded to you. Dixon—lt's no use. sir, telling a lie about it; I am guilty. While this conversation took place between the Re corder and the prisoner, Dixon stood up, resting on his elbow on the front of the dock, and apparently adjusting his necker chief. He then laid his head on the partition, and in the course of a moment or two fell backwards into the dock. It was at first supposed that he had fainted, but his wife and other females who were is the dock uttering a frightful scream, it was immediately ascertained that the prisoner had drawn a razor across his throat, and attempted to commit suicide. An alarm was given, and the court, which was crowded with spectators, was in a great state of excitement. A surgeon was called for, and the Mayor (Dr. P. Jones), who happened to be in the adjoining court, immediately came forward to render assistance. After binding up the wound, the Mayor intimated to the Recorder that it was not of a serious nature, or such as was at all likely to endanger life. It was a flesh wound, just over the larynx, which fortu• nately it had not penetrated, or fatal consequences would most probably have ensued. The prisoner was then removed from the dock. He expressed his sorrow that he had not succeeded in destroying himself, but intimated his determi nation to take the - first opportunity of putting a period to his existence. The prisoners were placed at the bar ou the following day, when the case being clearly proved, the female prisoner was acquitted, Dixon and Conley being found guilty. The former was sentenced to fifteen and the latt er to ten. years' transportation. VENTILATION or GAS.—There is an amendment in the use of gas, by the way, of very general requirement, of which may here be noted down whil e we think it. In deed, we have already done so in more instances than one, but the importance and general want of such an amendment induces us here to repeat the very obvioust suggestion that h means for the proper ventilation ofinjurious p ro d uc t s generated in the burning o f gas with e i e n doors ought to be th insisted on, and provided, e i t h er by force of public en lightenment on the subj ec t , or of legislative enactment itself in course of the proposed amendments. Gas burners con sume the vital air no less than human lungs. and we are at this moment in as lamentably defective and aboriginal a state of progress with respect to the ventilation of the dele terious products of gas burning as our aboriginal progeni tors were with respect to the ventilation of their domestic hearths while chimneys were unknown.—The Builder.

James Jen kins) at the Llanfoist Rectory, he was seized with a fit and .fell from his pony; he was immediately conveyed to the nearest house, and medical attendance instantly procured, but we much regret to say that life was extinct.—Monmouth Beacon. A NATURAL QUERY. —A countryman called at the Observatory on the Calton-hill, Edinburgh, and desired to be shown the moon through a telescope. The waggish attendant directed the instrument towards Kirkaldy, and the man was delighted to see streets, houses, and signboards, just such as we have in this world; but he was struck with astonishment when he observed on one of the houses, " Alloa ale sold here." " Alloa yill," said he, "How in a' the world do they get it up." W AK EFIELD CORN MARKET, FRIDAY.—We have a large supply of wheat and moderate of other articles. There is a general disinclination evinced to purchase wheat, though offered at is. to 2s. decline. Oats and beans are both glow sale at last week's rates.

A novel and interesting rehearsal of. an intended "eib:l-1 bition of the art offensive and defensive took place on Thurs-' day, evening, at .Temperance's, in Long-acre, under-the management of Alec Reid, intended as an exemplification 'of - the different styles of self-defence and personal encoanteLon this and the other side of La Manche. They were illustrated 'by professors of both nations, and gave a lively representa tion of the modes of combat prevailing in each country. The opening display between Alec Reid and Rowe (the con ' qneror of Cullen, and twice the antagonist of Harry Broome) was a clever exposition of English sparring. This was fol lowed by the appear a n ce o f Mons. J. P. Lamy (surnamed L'Anguille, or " The Eel"), for seven years the acknowledied champion•of Paris in the aerate, or foot and hand play, pecu. liar to Faenchmen ; his opponent. Mons. Josef, though much inferior in stature, contended manfully. To describe the pe cnliar activity and singular adroitness of hand and foot in this peculiarly national'and regulated contest, would require much space. The conibatanti approach each aother with arms ex tended and open, each striving to strike the other outwards by an inward blow of-the foot, which is either parried by the leg, or caught in the hand, as may seem best adapted to foil the intent of the aggressor. Lamy several times passed his foot 'clear over the head of his an:agonist . which in light play (resembling our glove-fighting) is supposed . to be " a hit,". inasmuch as the party so served might have been " struck," or rather kicked, had his adversary so pleasid. The activity and-quickness of Lamy were much applauded. Young Keene and Scott then exhibited sparring a l'Anglaise. The exercise'of the foil was then exhibited by Mons. Leon Gillemand, one of the first fencers in the country, and M. Woollf ; this was an interesting assaut, and elicited plaudits from the admirers of the science of the small sword; After a few intervening bouts of sarate aild"Elo've;:tlie:evenifig closed with an exciting trial .of The English.mode versus the French, between . Rowe, armed with mpfliers, and M..Lamy with a light pair of slippers. the active Frenchman,.though much the taller man, had but little the.beiqf the bout, for 'Rowe, after some little awkwardneSs at commencing, became more se fait to the Gaul', manceuvre, and twice succeeded in countering his left foot kick with a right-hander on the head. This the Frenchman, who is evidently, a fine-tem pered as well as a muscular fellow, took in good part. In thejast bout Rowe succeeded in detaining -for Wifevr seconds Lamy's right foot in .his left hand, and hitting out,witla the right, till the round terminated, amid much': faughter and applause. MANAGEMENT OP MILBANIC PRISON.----On Friday the report - of two of the Comniissionbri, the Earl of Chlagestet and Lord Seymou r, _ appointeil to inquire into the.litinage ment of Milbank P rison, was printed. A third Commissioner was appointed,' Mr. T. Escott, and as a disientient he will, make a separate report. The doenment now issued bears the date of the present month, and in a communication from the Uoder-Secretary of State to the inspectors of the pnson :of the 15th instant, h e i n f orme d t h em that Sinn. Grey Ltd Thought it right to place the report in their hands without delay, in order that no time might be lost in attending to such of its suggestions as had not been already anticipated. Among, the suggestions, which will require the sanction of Parliament, the Under-Secretary noticed the separation of the governing authority of the prison from the funetions eX ercised by - the inspectors, who unite the duties in their own persons, and it was his intention to propose to Parliament an amendment in that respr ct, of the Act 6th and 7th Victoria, chap. 26, for regulating the prison at Milbank Ihe Secre tary of State required the inspectors to prepare a code of rules for. the government of the prison, and to submit the same to him .tor his approval. He requested the in 2 spectors to communicate to the governor a copy of the re. , port, as related to him, and to impress on him " the indis-• pensable necessity of exercising greater caution and self command in those particular points - which have been pointed. ' - ant - by the Cunimissiimers asexccptions to his general high character and qualifications for- his office. Sir G. Grey regrets to observe that in the opinion of the Commissioners some of the officers of the prison were liable to censure from the unsatisfactory character of their evidence and the spirit in which it was given 'As .4 considerable time has since , lapsed, and no c( mplaint has in the meantime been laid he lore Sir G. Grey with regard to them, lie trusts that their subsequent conduct may have been such as to render their continuance in their offices consistent with advantage to the public service. But I am to desire you will inform them, that the perseverance by any officer of the prison in conduct subvendve of its discipline, will be held to disqualty them from retaining their situations." The inquiry by the com missioners had reference to the petitions of a discharged warder, named Baker, presented by I.lr. T. Duncombe to the House of Commons, and that gentleman attended the inves tigation with Baker, and examined the witnesses at his dis-' cretion. The Commissioners insl&ected the establishment, arid reported generally on its management. The letter from the Under-Secretary gives the principal points in the report, which, with the appendix, extends to sixty-one folio pages. The faults which the Commissioners consider the governor to be chargeable with, relate to a too hasty method - of dealing • with his officers ; the occasional use of improper or offensive expressions ; and an inattention to the rules of the prison. The report will probably be discussed in the House of Com mons in a few *days. EXTRAORDINARY VARIATION OF TEMPERATURE.— The weather in the metropolis, during the last two weeks, has exhibited some extraordinary characteristics. and so great has been the variation of temperature that the climate has been suddenly chimp(' from that of Siberia to that of Mar seilles, as evinced by the comparison between Wednesday, the 20th instant, when the thermometer at the Royal Ha- , mane Society's receiving-house in Hyde Park, stood as low as 26 degrees, and last 'Wednesday, the 27th instant, when the mercury had attained an elevation ,f 48 degrees, or a varia tion of no less than 22 degrees. The barometer yesterday, notwithstanding the atmosphere was comparatively clear, was as low as 29.25, while on Monday, the 18th instant, it was up to 30.31. ECONOMY IN FOOD.—A. clergyman in Ireland has sent us the following:—" One pound of whole rice, boiled with five quarts of water, thickened with one pound of oat meal, will make eight pounds and a half of g6od food. lout the rice down first with one quart of cold water, and add the remaining four quarts of water as the rice swells: then put in the pound of oatmeal, stirring all—cost 6d. Add salt or sugar to suit the taste (if the rice was steeped for five or six hours, it were better); rice 3d., oatmeal 3d. per lb. I tried 2lbs. of rice and 2lbs. of oatmeal, and the result was 221bs. of substantial food." REPR' SI•.fT?TION or CANTERBURY.—There are rumours of an election speedily taking place in this city. In such an event we believe we may state that T. T. Hodges, Esq., will offer himself as a candidate. Mr. Hodges' claims on the Liberal constituency of Canterbury are well known and undisputable, and he will unite in his favour the suf frages of all classes of Reformers —lC(ht Herald. Mr Mi:111, who contested Southwark unsuccess fully, is to be a candidate at the general election for Edin burgh, supported by the Anti-State Church and Complete Suffrage party. JAMES BRADSRAW, Esq., M P.—We understand that this gentleman has for some time past been in a state of health which gives considerable alarm to his friends. It is doubtful whether he will be enabled to take his seat in Par liament this session.—Kent Herald. _ -- - We are authorised to state that the paragraph which has been going the rounds of the papers, stating that John Gully, Esq., of Ackworth Park, intends offering him self for the borough of Andover, at the next general elec. Lion, is without foundation. We are given to understand that had Mr. Gully any intention of going into Parliament, be would have solicited his 01! friends at Pontefract, who, we feel assured, would be glad to have the honour of sending to the House of C(mmons a gentleman so universally re- .. spected. —Doncaster Gazette. FASIIIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.—We learn through the medium of a private letter from Berlin, that his Royal Highness Prince Waldemar, of Prussia, will visit this country in the course of the approaching summer. PRICE OF BEER — . We understand that the brewers of this city (Canterbury) intend immediately to lower the price of beer to 4d. per quart, the former price. The .con sumption is said to have fallen off considerably since the rise. Kent Herald ACCIDENT ON THE MANCHESTER AND LEEDS RAIL• WAY.—On Friday an accid.nt occurred on this line which might have been attended with serious consequences. It appeared that about eight o'clock a higgage-train was on its way from Oldham to Manchester, and on nearing the junc tion at the Middleton station another luggage -train was seen by the engineer coming up from Leeds. The signals were put out, and the engineer on the engine from Oldham shut off his steam, and blew the whistle. The guard put on the break, but almost immediately the engineer threw on the steam again, which csuied the guard to be thrown from his seat.. He was much bruised, but no limbs broken. By this time the train from Yorkshire had neared the junction, and just as the Oldham trai❑ had got on the main line it was run into by the other engine. Four of the last carriages were broken to pieces, as was also the engine, and the tender was much damaged. The stoker jumped tit, but the engi neer maintained his position and escaped unhurt. THE NEW BUILDING ACT.-011 Thursday evening a public meeting of the inhabitants of Deptford and Green wich was convened at th.. Swan Inn, High-street, Deptford, for the purpose of pititioning Parliament to repeal the Me tropolitan building Act, or the oppressive clauses contained in it. The chair was taken by W. J. Evelyn, Faq., a gentle man owning an immense quantity of house property in the neighbourhood, and a memorial to the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, and a petition to the House of Commons, were unanimously adopted. EXTENSIVE BURGLARY AT BRIG HTON.—lnforma tion was last night rueived at all the metropolitan police stations, that on the night of the 27th inst., Rose-hill Villa, Brighton, the residence of Alexander 11I'Kenzie, Esq., was burglarinusly entered, and the following property stolen therefrom :-12 silver table-spoons, 2 gravy spoons, a soup lad.e, 18 dessert forks, 18 ditto sp , 'cts, 12 large forks, a silvek teapot, a milk pot, a butter basin, with st4nd and cover, and other articles of plate. a • e • Rai
