A poor woman, named Fraser, a steerage passenger, was seized with the pangs of premature tabour, and shortly afterwards gave birth to a remarkably fine female child. There were a great number of passengers on board the Royal Adelaide, amongst whom were the Earl of We m y ss an d hi s daughter. The latter. in conjunction with several other ladies on board, paid every attention to Mrs. Fraser and the little stranger she had introduced into the world, and liberally sup : plied her with the proper nourishment. The ch;ld was very appropriately named Adelaide, after the name of the steamer. When the vessel arrived at her moorings, off St. Katharine's Wharf, a medical gentleman was sent for to attend the poor woman, and he pronounced her to be in a very favourable state. A collection was made on board in her behalf. She was about to embark in a Sydney ship for South Australia, to which colony her husband emigrated a few months ago. NOTES OF A BRIEFLESS BARRISTER.—A t the sessions in Durham a clock was produced in evidence. "Pray," said ` Mr. Counsellor Jo h nson, in cro ss - examining the prosecutor. Pray, Sir, how do you identify the clock as your property?" " I know it," he replied, "because on the face of it there's a picture of my wife's father on horseback." " Oh !" said Mr. Johnson, " is it considered a good likeness ?" Of c ou rse," said the prosecutor's counsel, Mr. Granger, "a striking likeness." In another case, a prisoner, w h o had long borne a good character, was charged with having sacrificed his good reputation to a love of bacon. The prosecutor did not satisfactorily identify as his property the bacon found in the prisoner's house; and Mr. Recorder Wilkinson, who defended the man, appealed to the Jury somewhat as follows :—" It is not credible, Gentleman, that my respectable client would peril his good name by this paltry theft. /tusk, indeed, would it have been in him to adopt such a suicidal course, and for you to take this bacon as the prosecutor property would be to adopt a raslurr." FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.—A frightful accident occurred at Devonport on Friday. As the Thunderer man-of war, 84 guns, was go i n g o ut of harbour saluti ng t h e admiral, the quarter-master was in the foremost part of the vessel, iii the chains, throwing the lead. and when the first gun was tired he moved towards the quarter-deck, and as he was going by the fourth gun, the man whose duty it is to let off the gun put the match to the powder, and blew the poor quarter-master into a thousand pieces. There was a boat immediately lowered from the vessel into the water, but they could find nothing but part of his skull, which was taken on shore, about half a mile from the vessel. Ile has left a wife and seven children to de plore his loss. His wife and family were on board at the time the catastrophe happened. CLOSING OF THE PRESENT EXHIBITION. 1911.

When Saxons, true to Heaven's command, Had cast out. every British stain, igbcrt the Great—in Union named this land. Alfred—her Guardian Angel—taught this strain ; Rule * Engle-land—England rule the waves, * Engle, or Englishmen, ne'er be, as Britons, slaves. * The Saxon or Old English words (which are still so pre served in all the other branches of the Teutonic language) for Angel-land—Angels ; not Angles ! nor Anglo-Saxons ! ! and most clearly not Britons ! !! whom our forefathers justly tooted out of the land—them and their language too ! as fully demon strated in the Angel, or English, Queen, sold by Maddon and Co., No. 8, Leadenhall-street, price one shilling. . _ By bringing forward two strictly analogous precedents-Ist, The Union of the Saxon Heptarchy, the Natives whereof have ever since been called Engle, Englishmen ; in Latin Angli ; in French, Anglais. 2d. The Union of the Three Kingdoms, England. Wales, and Scotland, the natives since generally and vauntingly mis-called Britons among themselves, but still An gli and Anglais abroad. I have already shown, and now again hope to do so, that there can be no real Union with Ireland until English, Welsh, Scotch, and Irish, are called by one name. Britons, or Great Britons it cannot be. Little Bri tons, as some pedants will have it, might be deemed an insult only next in degree to the Lyndhurst denunciation, Aliens," forsooth. The greet O'Connell himself, the Apostle of Peace and Goodwill, has endeavoured to get the name of West Bri ton adopted at a large public meeting, thereby showing his zeal for a real union—but there was no response—for why ? the name of Briton stands accurst by Holy Mother Church in her best days (see the Venerable Bede). The Scotch as well as Irish would object to " English" as a word having no meaning in their view but that of priority or tyranny. The Romans of the Eastern world, for 200 years after they had forgotten their mother tongue, upheld their Western Father-name; but was it ever heard, 0, rare infatuation ! we still holding fast ourfa thers' land, laws, language and religion—forgetting their pa triotic and appropriate Union name, glorify and magnify the name of Britons, a people extirpated by our fathers on ac count of their base treachery, and doubts exist whether a word of their language be known amongst us. Let us, then, as good men and true, once more unite in brotherhood, as was done so beneficially by our progenitors the Saxons, a thousand years ago, and take up the same honourable distinctive name, and be altogether Engle or ANGELS instead of devils one with another. ( See the Marquis of Westmeath's explanation in the House of Lords, 7th April, 1d40.) To sum up all— Away with all falsehoods--Briton, Whig, and Tory, All names of Ignorance, of Malice, and Vain-Glory, Let Angel-name and ame succeed—Hosanea! Victoria ! The Dictionary or Supplement of the French Academy, just published, the only authority of the kind in which I have seen any explanation of the word Anglo-Saxons, says, " A name " given to the Saxons who established themselves in the " country now called Angle land, because the Angles were " one of their princiral tribes ;"—a most illological deduc tion—for if any truth in the premises, they ought to have been called Saxonico-Angles or Saxon-Angles, for everybody knows that the people of this country have not once been called Angles at home ; indeed, it can al most be proved that there never were any Angles in England : it is no more our fault that the Latinists have translated the Saxon " Engle" into Angli and the French Anglaise, than that the Spanish, &c., call us Inglese, not one of them being a fair translation of the word, and the first, " Angli," a complete evasion of it. It is folly to suppose that the Saxons let the Latins change their national name to Angli, which they again translated into Engle, and so named themselves and their bravely-gotten land Engle-land : still greater folly when we , look at the difference between the Latin Anglicanus and English. The first English falsifier of Engle into Angle, I believe to be the Hon. Dairies Barrington, about 60 years ago, whence sprung up the new-fangled visionary word Anglo-Saxou. James the First, always reputed a good antiquarian, never dreamt of such a word, and still less that his subjects would ever be called by the base and barbarous name of Britons ; the natives of Brittany in France being so called in his day, but now changed into Bretons. Notwithstanding all this, it has been found that a pseudonym is a better point of union than no name at all, or than such a word as Aerees. In the Monthly Magazine for October, 1839, I have written enough to show that the word Angel is a good name and much wanted in a religious as well as political sense, and that the word Protestant should never have been used as a re ligious sectarian name, articularly by the English ; indeed, all names that are ante. 'scriptural, or not in comformity with the Scriptures, ought now to be discarded. St. Paul com plains ( I Cor. e. i.v. 10, &c.) of divisions by every one calling themselves Panlians, Apollosians, Cephasians, Christians.! Also (chap. iii. ver. 4) " While one said!, I am Paulian, &e , are ye not carnal ?" True, it is written, they were first called Christians at Antioch ; but is it not to be gathered that it was by their adversaries and by way of contempt ? ( These self-same remarks apply to to the word Protestants. St. James says, c. 2, v. 7, "Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by which ye are called." It is plain that in early times they never called themselves Chris tians, for St. Paul, when King Agrippa exclaimed, '"Fhen almost persuadest me to be a Christian, Acts 26, v. 28, with much solemnity avoids repeating the name, either because he felt that it partook of blasphemy. or that Agrippa had used it by way of contempt : indeed I do not know that the name be came favoured among men until Constantine erected the SYAI LOG, "In hoc SIGNO vincere." The word too is now more generally understood to mean civilization. What man is he, who shall rightly say lam a Christian ? Say rather with humility, " The Lord knoweth them that are his ; and let every o ne that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity."— 2 Tim., c. v. 19. See also how carefully the use of the word Christian is avoided in Acts, viii, v. 1 and 3 ; ix, v. 1 and 2 and 21: xiii., v. 43; xix., v. 23; xxii. ,y. 4; xxvi., v. 9, 11; xxviii.,v. 14, 9 2, &c. &c. &c. Whereas, now•a-days—see Penny Cyclopmdia (St. Paul)—the word is introduced on every occasion. Can the re verential Jew join a community which . ' presumes to call itself by any name of God, to whom all glory and worship are due ? Wanted some respectable men to deliver handbills of this import—not to the poor—all their attention must be directed to get them bread; but, as the time is at hand, to the rich and great, to such as apparently can read , mark, learn— Revelationsexix., v. 17—noting the rema kable discrepancy between th e heading of a. xix. , v. 17, " The fowls called to th egreat slaugh ter," and v. 17 in the text, " Come and gather yourselves toge!lier, unto the supper of the great God." ANGELUS in sole (in veritate, publice) stens, excla mans, &c. N.B.—Althpugh we must needs, perhaps, tolerate all the false and incongruous names which have crept into use amongst ourselves, as well as those by which foreigners in general call us (the Teutonic or German race the only exception), let them not entirely usurp the place of our heaven-appointed name, ordained by King and people in a more solemn and formal manner than any other national name in the Old World, our long-proved, well-deserved good name, now that it is fairly brought to light. w ,* Any proposal (pre-paid) from the large towns in the Three Kingdoms, to print and circulate this announcement of truth, of peace and good-will (ipsissimam sire qua non), will receive due attention.

In the opinion of many of the oldest frequenters of New market, so large an assemblage has not been seen since the famous match between Sir Joshua and Filho, as was attracted this afternoon to witness the race for the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes'and have a peep at Prince Albert—not the Derby outsider—but the illustrious consort of our Sovereign Lady the Queen. Some wag it seems, with a view to encourage that ill-used class the post-masters, and at the same time give New market " a turn," had announced his Royal Highness's con templated visit through the medium of a Cambridge paper, and in such confident language, that the paragraph went the round of the London and most of the provincial journals, and fully effected all that could have been required. Almost every horse, chaise, gig, and coach within fifteen miles of the place was brought into requisition ; hundreds arrived from London and Chester, and the lieges of Newmarket made a golden harvest. In our pro gress th roug h t h e crowd on the course we repeatedly heard the inquiry, " which is the Prince ?" and as there hap pened lobe present three or four well-dressed young men, with passable moustaches, it was not difficult to keep up the. joke : many; we are assured, took their departure impressed with a belief that the objet of their visit had been accomilished ; it is doubtful whether their gratification would have been greater or more enduring had his Royal Highness been there in person instead of by his proxies'. With men of business and the ad mirers of racing, the Tao Thousand Guineas Stakes was the sole attraction ; it excited very great. interest, and, by its result, proved that Crucifix was herself again. We subjoin parti culars of that and the other events decided in the course of the afternoon : Sweepstakes ' D. M.—Emetic made play at a slow p ace f or two-thirds of the distance, when Olive Branch went paSt her and won cleverly by haifa length. 2,000 Guineas Stakes.—After one false start the lot got off tolerably well together, Crucifix being the last. The Angelica colt took the lead at a capital pace, followed by the Velvet colt on one side, and Capote on the other, Confederate lying at the quarters of the Velvet colt, anti the favourite and illac.k Beck behind. Capote fell astern at the bushes, where Crucifix took up the running, the grey following her, Confederate third, and Black Beck fourth. At the cords, Confederate drew upon the grey, beat him for the second place by about a head, but with out reaching Crucifix, who won in a common canter by a length. Nothing was near the three, but as far as the crowd enabled us to ascertain Black Beck was fourth, Telvet, fifth, and Capote last. Match.—Euclid made all the running, And won cleverly by a length. Queen's Plate.—Ccenis led to the first hill, and was then headed by Confusionee, who beat her opponents off hand, and went in twenty lengths in advance of them. Mary Anne and Merganser never passed the post.

THE WEATHER, CROPS, &c. We have now lyinc , before us agricultural report from all parts of the kingdom. Happily, there is but little difference in these accounts. They are all fa vourable—all concur in stating that notwithstanding the singular drought during the past month things look well. This, perhaps, is principally owing to the heavy dews that have fallen for a length of time, bOth in the morning and at night. We subjoin one or two paragraphs on the subject from the Provincial Papers of last Saturday. The thermometer stood at 76 in the shade, on Tues day. The wheat looks well where the farmer did his duty in sowing it, but rain is now wanted for the light lands. The hop-yards and orchards in Herefordshire and Worcestershire arc very promising, but not yet en tirely free from frosts in May.—Skrewsbury Chroni c l e . " We have been favoured - during the last two or three weeks with almost uninterrupted fine weather, and the change from the torpid breath of winter to the genial smiles of spring has been more than usually marked and beautiful. Still, until within these tew days, a little rain seemed to be in good .request ; but during the week, the earth has been refreshed by a succes sion of gentle showers, and their effects are vi sible everywhere mound us. The rapid alterna tion of sunshine and rain has done incalculable good to the growing crops. The corn, which had been much retarded by the late cold weather, is now improv ing daily, and exhibits a very promising appearance. The wheat, particularly, is in excellent condition, espe cially that sown early on flat lands. The best farmers are of opinion that barley never exhibited a more pro- ' wising appearance than do the present crops ; whilst pastures, seed lands, and fields of general produce, combine to give to the face of nature an aspect of ' greeness and fecundity.—Carnarvon Herald. The prevailing fine weather, rather uncommon for the month of April, has completely changed the face of ve getation in North Derbyshire, especially in the agricul tural districts. The wheat never looked in a more pro mising condition, of which there arc large breadths sown. The spring corn presents a healthy appearance, particu larly oats, the seed of which was got into the ground well. The grass has also put on a verdant and luxuriant hue. This last remark applies, in a great degree, to the fertile meadows on the banks of the meandering Derwent, whose glassy streams are visited both by the contempla tive penciller and the hurrying man of trade. We were last week informed by a gentleman who had just travelled from Bristol to London ; from London through the counties of Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk, and Lincoln, to Hull, and from Hull to Liverpool, that the winter and spring wheat, and all other descriptions of grain, are looking as well as ever they were known to look at this season of the year. He states that the quantity of spring wheat sown is unusually great. We have had more genial heat within the last eight days than we had during the last three years. Heavy dews have fallen overnight, proving, so far, a substitute for rain, which is now anxiously looked for. In few spots, however, will the drought do any injury, though it should continue eight days longer. Those who lack faith are already beginning to draw a comparison be tween season 1840 and that of 1826 ; but we trust and expect that ere long a shower will dispel such fears. —Alp.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS. The Annual General Meeting of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, was held in Exeter Hall yesterday. Some time before the hour appointed for commencing proceedings (one o'clock), the room was crowded almost exclusively with ladies. Lord Mahon was moved to the chair amidst the cheers of the meeting, in the absence of his Royal High. ncss the Duke of Cambridge, whose presence had been expected. The Noble CHAIRMAN, in addressing the meeting, said he was sure that be need not tell them how sin cerely he participated in the regret which they all should feel at not seeing the chair then occupied, as they bad hoped it would be, by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge.—(Hear, hear.) Until within a few minutes, before they were ali in fail expectation of that honour, but he fled just received a letter from his Royal Highness, expressing his regret at finding that it would be absolutely impossible fur him to Inltil his purpose of presiding there that day.—(Hear, hear.) Ho was sure be could venture to say that that would be a source of disappointment not less to his Royal Highness than to themselves, when they recodected how ready his Royal Highness had always shown himself to do all that lay in his power, whenever he thought that any good object was to be ef fected, or any purpose of charity to be advanced,— (Cheers.) 11c would venture to say in the absence of his Royal Highness, what he would scarcely have pre sumed to say in his presence, that there never was a Prince more ready to_devote his time, his attention, and his purse, to objects of blinevolence, than the Royal Mike who was to have been their Chairman on this occasion. His Royal Highness, however, even in his absence, had shown his zeal for the purposes of the Society, and had instructed him (the Chair man), by a letter he had just received, to place the liberal donation of 101. in the hands of the Secretary for the objects of the . Society.- . -iCheeriag.) The Noble Chairman then addressed the meeting on the nature of the objects for which the Society had hem formed. Their design was to promote feelings of huma nity towards the brute creation, and he was of opiniol no purpose could be more benevolent and no claim more 344, It was on such a principle as that to which he had al luded that the Society had been founded and carried on, and he believed that its labours had not been wit losat some use.—(Cheers.) Lord DUDLEY SIT-ART came forward to pro pose the first resolution, which was as follows :—" That this Society, while expressing its gratification at the ad ditional Royal patronage conferred on the Society by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, and at the general prosperity of the Society, find it their duty to avow their conviction, that further and persever ing exertions are desirable, in order more perfectly to accomplish the humane and benevolent objects for which the Society was established." The Noble Lord did not think that any eloquence would be required to induce the meeting to adopt the resolution, as he was sure it would immediately meet with the approbation Of every one present.—( Hear, hear.) Lord STUART DE ROTHSAY seconded the rest:Th.llin. The resolution was put, and unanimously carried. The SECRET tr.v then read the Annual Report of the Society (the 14th), of many parts of which the meeting loudly expressed their approbation. Letters of apology for non-attendance at the meeting were read from the Earl of Carnarvon, who enclosed a donation of 101., from the Earl of Winchilsea and the Bishop of Chichester. Lord MAttom was then obliged to retire, and Lord DUDLEY STUART was called to the Chair in his place, amidst much cheering. Sir GEORGE CIIETWYND movod, " That the Report which had been read by the Secretary should be re ceived, adopted, and printed for general circulation." The Hen. Baronet in moving the resolution, expatiated at length on the benevolent objects of the Society, and the results which had attended their labours. Mr. MACKINNON, M.P., seconded the resolution, and expressed a hope that with the mild and benetolent influence of that sex, which formed so large a portion of the meeting, the interests of the Society might con tinue to be advanced. The Hon. Gentleman said it was his intention to introduce a clause, having reference to the objects of the Society, in the Bill for the re gulation of carriages in Ireland, which was to come before the House of Commons on that evening. The purport of the clause would be to prevent the use of dogs in the drawing of any vehicle whatever in Ireland.—(Cheers.) A GENTLEMAN in the body of the meeting here es. pressed a wish to put a few questions to the gentle, men on the platform. He would ask the Hon. Gentle man who had just sat down if he were ready to intro duce into tho Bill which was to come under discussion in the House of Commons, a clause preventing the wit of horses in steeple chases ? Was . the Society disp ose d to prevent the abuse of animals by the rich? Cr to put an end to the hunting of deer in the parks of the great ? Mr. MAcEINNON replied to the Hon. Gentleman, that from the nature of the Bill which was to cense that evening before the House of Commons, it would not be in his power to introduce such a clause as that to which the Hon. Gentleman had alluded. With re gard to the other points referred to by the Hon. Gen tleman, he felt that it would be impossible in the pre sent feeling of the country to put en end to shostiog and hunting. He should observe, however, that the existing law on the subject of cruelty to animals applied to the rich as well as the poor, and that both tvere equally prevented from abusing their animals. The resolution was then put and carried. The CHAIRMAN presented prizes to two youths (for essays on the subject for which the Society was formed. Mr. J. ASHLEY MAwE moved the next resolution— " That the Earl of Carnarvon be respectfully requested to accept the office of President, and Lord Viscount Mahon, Lord Dudley Stuart, Lord Ashley, and Wm, Mackinnon, Esq., M.P., be respectfully requested to accept the office of Vice-Presidents of the Society for the ensuing year." Sir JOHN CROFT seconded the resolution. The resolution was put and carried. Tie CHAtiatAN expressed in his own name, and that of his colleagues, his thanks for the honour conferred on them, and their readiness to undertake the duties en trusted to them. _ 'lle Committee for the Society was then appointed for the ensuing year. . A vote of thanks was put, and unanimously carried to Mr. Maimot, the Solicitor for the Society ; and o si milar vote was passed to the friends and supporters in France of the cause which the Society advocated. The thanks of the Meeting were then given to Lord Mahon and Lord Dudley Stuart for their conduct in the Chair, and the Meeting separated. PRICE sd. COURT CHRISTIAN, NORWICH. On Monday last, the Court again sat, and the Bungay St. Mary case being called on, the Proctor for the Churchwardens objected, on the ground of irrelevancy, to the admission of certain portions of the respondent's answcr, put in at the last Court, in which be alleged that as the Judges held Christianity to be part of the law of the land, and the exaction of Church-rates is re pugnant to Christianity, and moreover, as in the Court Christian the Scriptures must be held to be of para mount authority, and these give no sanction to the jurisdiction of one religious sect over the members of another, it was, therefore, illegal to levy Church-rates on hint, a Dissenter, and to cite him to a Court pre sided over by a Bishop of the Church of England. The Learned Judge over-ruled the objection, and the plaintiff's proctor then produced a witness, Mr. Spell, of Bungay, collector of the Church -rate, to be sworn to give evidence. The Judge informed Mr. Charles Childs, the respon dent, that he was entitled to cross-examine the witness within two days after his examination in chief. Mr. Childs said 111 was then ready to cross examine him and with the Judge's permission, would proceed to do so at once. The Judge replied that the mode of examination Was, that the witness went before the examiner, an officer of the Court, who took his answers in writing, The deponent was at liberty to give in written interrogatories which would be put to him in the same way. The respondent begged that a copy of the exami nation in chief might be furnished to him, to prepare questions for cross-examination. • The Judge said—No, the examinations thus taken were not seen either by himself or by the parties until the case was closed, and the evidence published. Mr. Childs said he did not understand bow by such a process the truth could be elucidated. The use of a cross-examination he took to be to explain facts which had been imperfectly or income:ly stated, and to elucidate the truth where, by a suppressio veni, or a szywestio falsi, it had not been fairly given. It would be absurd to attempt this where the examination in chief was unknown, unless he could frame a set of questions for every possible conjunction of circumstances, which might be as various as the possible positions of the letters of the alphabet. The very first answer given by a hostile witn.ss, or one with whose impression of facts he was unac quainted, might render inapplicable the whole set of in terrogatories, however inff b enious!y framed, as n o contin gency was too minute to divert the current of evidence into an entirely new channel. He felt that he need not urge upon the Judge the value of a real cross-ex amination as practised in the Common-law Courts, nor the damage which the truth must sustain through want of it in the Courts Christian. He believed he was justified in stating, as he did, under the correction of the Judge, that although the usage of these Courts was to take the evidence on written interroga tories, there was nothing contained in any canon or sta tute to forbid its being taken viva voce in open Court— the proceedings would not be less formal, nor the judg ment less valid, and as each of the Ecclesiastical Courts was of record for itself, the Judge would give to his succes sors a precedent of that improvement which had been so strenuously recommended by Mr. Kitson, the Regis trar, in his intelligent evidence before the Ecclesiastical Commission. He, therefore, begged that Mr. Spall might now be examined. The Judge, smiling, replied, that whether either of the parties might by a superior Court be held to have suffered by such a proceeding as that suggested, he could not tell ; but be should certainly not feel at liberty on his own responsibility to depart from the practice of the Superior Courts. Mr. Childs replied, that he should not then put in interrogatories for such a cross-examination as the Court allowed, but when the proper time came, prove by his own witnesses what he deemed essontial to hi s case. The next Court will be held May 25th. MARRIAGE OF THE DUKE OF SUSSEX. (From the Britannia.) In the remarks which we are called on to make from time to time on public men and matters, we have uni formly spoken in a public spirit alone ; and we have no hesitation in saying that this we have done with a large portion of the public approval. We can have no pri vate hostilities, and, therefore, can fairly give no private offence. Our journal is open to all men, and where we may have occasionally fallen into error—for we pretend to no infallibility—we are much more ready to retract than to persevere in the misconception. . On looking over our observations in our last week's paper, on the case of Sir Augustus and Mademoiselle D'Este, as detailed in the letters of Sir John Dillon, we desire to disclaim, in the most candid and complete manner all idea of personal molestation to the feelings of any one of the parries. The topic having been brought before the world by recent circumstances, and become the direct subject of controversy in the columns of the Morning Chronicle, how is it to be supposed that the subject is either an interdicted one to all Jour nals but those of the Government, or that we can have any interest in the discussion ? As journalists, we are bound to our readers to notice the prominent topics of the day, rod to speak of them neither in the spirit of sycophants,. nor of personal enemies. As to his Royal Highness himself, we cannot con ceive any offence to be taken in the matter. We have so often heard him pronounce the freedom of the press to be the lifeblood of British liberty, and the right of even the broadest and boldest inquiry into the acts of public characters to be an heir-loom of our establish e d freedom, that we can scarcely conceive it possible to sec on individual of his prominent rank exposing himself to the charge of nullifying the declarations of a long life, and exhibiting, in practice, the direct contradiction to principles which he Lai so often pronounced that he would carry with him to the grave. Again, we say that, if personal offence be taken in any instance, whether of the lowest or of the highest rank —from the peasant to the blood-royal—we arc ready to apologise. If eircninstanees are stated on authority, which afterwards appear to he unsound„-se e are as per fectly to ntlinit the refutation ; or, if we have drawn • a hasty conclusion from facts, we have not the slightest objection to be argued into better logic. Tile greatest names of England have been, and still are, constantly assailed with the most unre strained epithets. But they suffered those attacks to pass by, and regarded them justly as part and parcel of the tax which every public man must be prepared to pay for pre-eminence in rank and popularity. How often was William Pitt called traitor, robber of the nation, destroyer of the British empire ? But how often did he cover himself with the win,g of the At• torney-General ? Never ! Vigilant for the public honour, he was justly contemptuous of the assaults of his personal fame. He knew that he could live them down. Sir Robert Peel and the Duke of Wellington arc hourly assailed by the Whig and Radical prints; they are, probably, as susceptible as other men ; but ' they know that true refutation clnnot be touched by such missiles, and they sleep without invoking the guardianship of the Queen's Bench. We are not of the Duke of Sussex's political opinions, and must combat them where they come in our way. But there we stop. We have nothing to say of his pri vate habits, nor of those of any other person. With us every man's house is his castle ; and when the Duke of Sussex shuts his door, it shall never be violated by us. We acknowledge, too, that however erroneous his poli tics, he has, for many years, been an active and influ ential supporter of the metropolitan charities, a culti vator of learning, and a friend and encourager of many learned men. All this is much to the credit of a person barn to a rank which seems generally to preclude as much the inclination as the necessity for public effort of any kind, and this praise we fully concede. The friends of his Royal Highness will see in this lan guage that it is wholly impossible to conceive any wi s h on our part to give personal pain. In this and all cases, where our statements are opened to refutation, we are perfectly willing to insert that refutation in our journal. If individual sensibilities have been offended, none shall go before us in regretting to have given an offence of which we explicitly disclaim all intention. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT TITEVITRIOL, SALT ?ETRE, AND WHITE LEAD WORKS, 1- tOTHERIIITHE. A dreadful fire, involving great destruction of valuable property, occurred on Monday at the great vitriol, saltpetre, and white lead works of Messrs. Brandram (brothers) and Co., situate in the Lower Deptford-road, Rotherhithe. The manufactory is considered, for its extent and completeness, and for the great variety of operations carried on within it, one of the most im portant in the metropolis. The works are entered by a large meadow, opposite Old Rotherhithe workhouse, and situated 100 yards from the main road. The premises occupy a largo space of ground, about 260 feet in length, and 160 feet in depth, and are surrounded by several reservoirs of water. The fire commenced in that portion denominated the colour manufac tory, and it was discovered by the watelmrin employed on the establishment. A moun t e d ex p ress was i mme di a tely despatched to the different fi re s t a ti ons i n L on d on , an d in the course of half an hour afterwirds no fewer than eight large engineesirof were on the spot. They were all got to work from reservoirs water that surrounded the works; but the flames extended to several ether manufactories (separate building-s) joining, how which were destroyed. The west and castings were. , ever, saved. The firemen were unable to loss is estimated, obtain any particu lars concerning the origin of the fire. The by competent judges, at 10,0001. The firm are insured in the Imperial, Guardian, and Roy al Exchange ane xplosion of saltpetreFire-offices, to the amount of 40,000/. Some years ago occurred on the works, and serious consequences ensued. ' There is no truth in the statement that Lord Charles J. F. Russell has declined to oppose Lord Stanley's Irish Registration Bill, and wil l therefore vacate his seat lR Par. hammt, THE LATE OPERA DISCORD. The important squabble which has been carried on during the last week by Messrs. Laporte and Tambu rini, has been the all-ahsorbieg topic in operatic antrall other circles. Such of our readers as had not the good fortune to witness Signor Tambutini's re instalment on Tuesday evening, will perceive that the omnibus box, aided by the many-headed monster, the puissant parterre, have gained their object, and their idol is restored to theta ; each of the angry disputants having received his aka gonist's fire in the public papers, and this having in neither case proved fatal or even cifzctual, it was agreed by both parties to refer the muter to the arbitration of the Duke of Beaufort and Count d'Orsay. The Duke had, however, left town for Newmarket, unconscious of the honour which had been conferred upon him ; it was therefore rescued for Count u'Orsay to effect the solu tion of these seeming contrarieties, and the manner in which he has executed his difficult task will for everentitle him to share with Pet ronius the title of arbiter elcgantia ruin, and to rank alter Talleyrand and Metternich as a diplomatist. We have the best authority for stating that the result of his negotiations has been the complete re conciliation of the restive singer and the punctilious manager, who have nt:ev exchanged vows of eternal friendship, and marvel how they could ever have dis agreed. Count d'Orsav's peace-making powers most be of a first-rate description, for each of the contending parties have overwhelmed him with expressions of gra titude for having discovered the solution of this difficult problem.—Post. Tamhurini, we see, made his appearance last night in the character of lago, in Rossini's °kilo. The house was exceedingly crowded in every part. tier Majesty was present, and we observed also a numerous party in the Queen Dowager's box. OWL) his been so often represented. and by the same principal performers, that there is really nothing to be said about it now-a-days. DR. DILLON.—In the Uonsistory Court, on Monday, the Learned Judge decided in the negative the ques tion of the Rev„ Dr. right, to preach in his own chapel at Pimlico, cotttary to the command of the Bishop of London. The artielc a alle , cd, that a license having been grented to tti . Reverend Pi oprietor of the c ha p el on the 241 h of Jply, 1829, it was revoked by the Bishop 0:1 the 29th of February last, the instrument of revocation being duly i.erved en Dr. Dillon, w h o was strictly enjoined to abst ain from further officiating as minister in the aforesaid chap el ; notwithstanding which, he had continued publicly to read prayers, preach, administer the and perform ecclesiastical duties and divine offices the rites and ceremonies of the Church of Eng asacceroarirgi sacrament , and since the service of the citation in this cause. EFFECT OF VEGETABLES oN DIFFERENT ANtstm.s.--Horses have so great a repugnance to cruciferous plants that they will not touch them, but will feed on reed grasses, among an abundance of which goats have 'yen known to starve, though they often feed on other vegetables, and will even become fat on water hemlock, which is rank poison to other tinadrupeds. In like manner swine will detour henbane, while they are destroyed by common pepper; and the horse which avoid; the mild turnip will get into flesh b y feeding on rhubarb. It is a curious fact, that man, if he takes the scrap ings of the. rind of alder, scraped one way, it. will act as a pur gative, but if scraped the contrary way it will act as an emetic. A very fine trout, weighing 10ibs., was this week netted in the Thames, near thu mouth of the Kennet. Two others (one of the weight of SVbs.) were also caught by fair angling, in the river, at Lower Caversham. It is much to be regretted that the fishery of the Thames is not protected by an association of amateur anglers ; the present renters of the water could be easily inducel to abstain from the destructive use 1 of tho drag-uoi, flue, &c.
