torai 4!Cws. Amongst the hundred vessels at San Francisco are the Antelope, Chrishna, and Zealous, of Liverpool. HUNDRED OF WlRRAL.—Messrs. Amery and Williams, the High Constables for this Hundred, have been re-ap pointed for the ensuing year. The Courier says that Mr. John Holmes is to be op posed, on the 9th instant, when nominated to fill the civic chair, on the ground of his being a Dissenter I Mr. Alexander Lamb, of Kew, charges the prize es sayist of the National Confederation with piracy. He says that that essay is but an echo of the arguments of a Mr. Heathfield, ofLondon. On Monday fortnight, Amelia Dennison, an infant ten weeks old. was left near the fire when her clothes were ignited it is supposed by a spark, and such injuries were sustained as to cause her death on Tuesday. THE LATE DR. BYHTH.—At the coroner's inquest the jury returned a verdict of " Died by the visitation of God." The lamented deceased has left only seven chil dren, and not nin', as we were informed. His immediate, predecessor at Wallasey was the Rev. Mr. Law. BANKRUPTCY COURT.—IN RE HUGH WILLIAMS.— The bankrupt in this case is a builder, residing at Birken head. It was a dividend meeting. Additional proofs and claims on the bankrupt's estate, amounting to £28,374 Os. 4d., were taken. It was ordered that a dividend of 3s. 3d. in the pound be paid, on account of a dividend of 4s. ld. in the pound, which was declared at a previous meeting. SHIPWRECK.—On Monday, during very thick weather, the barque Repealer, of Halifax, 400 tons register, Capt. Dorman, from Liverpool to Charleston, laden with salt and coals, struck on the Long Bank, off this harbour. The crew, assisted by some of our hardy fisherman, safely escaped from th , wreck, which afterwards drifted on the south shoals, where the hull has been dismantled.— Wexford Guardian. BRUNSWICK HOTEL.—In directing attention to Mr. Whiteman's advertisement, in another column, we can very confidently recommend his establishment to all who desire an excellent dist: of turtle, venison, or game. The cooking is excellent, and the prices are most reasonable, considerably under what are charged at other hotels In this and other towns. The London oysters and tripe are first-rate, universally approved by all who have had the pleasure of tasting either. Whiteman deserves the fullest encouragement. FATAL ACCIDENT.—A dreadful accident occurred in the immediate vicinity of our office on Tuesday, by which a labouring man named Scott Mossman, thirty years of age, lost his life. He was engaged about some premises an course of erection in Cook-street, and on the day in question was at work on a landing fourteen feet from the ground. Suddenly his fellow-workmen observed him stagger, foam at the mouth, and exhibit other indications of being seized with a fit ; before assistance could be avail able. the poor fellow fell to the ground, pitching on his head, and of course expiring immediately. PRESENTATION.—On Saturday the Committee of the Liverpool Humane Society presented a first-class silver medal to the master of No. 1 Pilot-boat, bearing the fol lowing inscription round the edge :—" To Mr. William Hughes, master pilot, for rescuing crew of sloop Eliza beth. in a heavy gale, off Ormshead, 13th October, 1849." Mr. Hughes has been honoured on former occasions for his humanity and daring, and we may mention, that in the year 1839 he received a presentation from the same society, as well as a silver snuff-box, at a public dinner, as a testimonial for his exertions in saving many lives from the Pennsylvania, St. Andrew, and Lockwood, during the great storm in that year. The Rev. George Dover, A.M., has been unanimously appointed by the trustees to the incumbency of tit. Bar nabas'. The trustees are the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Rectors, Dr. .M'Neile, and the Rev. J. Jones. Mr. Dover has for many years been the incumbent of St. Bartholomew's Church, in this town, where lie has la boured with most painstaking and self-denying assiduity to improve one of the poorest and most depraved districts of the town ; and such of our readers as are aequainted with its former and present condition, have often re marked, no doubt, the great improvement which has taken place in its moral condition under the spiritual culture of its beloved pastor. The poor of the parish especially will mourn the removal of their minister and friend. SOIREE MUSICALE. The Philharmonic Society is about to give a performance of vocal and instrumental music under this designation. The object is to afford amateurs on the piano-forte an opportunity of hearing the performance of compositions of various styles, both ancient and modern, in those pieces which come under the denomination of chamber music. The programme is of the most recherche character. The practice at Willis's rooms and other celebrated places of metropolitan esteem has formed the basis of the arrangement for the impend ing soiree ; and whilst the instrument performers are eminent for ability, several new compositions will be per formed, including a quatuor, by Mendelssohn, for the piano -forte, violin, viola, and violoncello. NEW CHURCH, LIMEKILN-LANE, TRANMERE.—We are glad to learn that a more eligible site than that kindly offered by Mr. Nlorecroft has been obtained for the above new church. Mr. Orred, one of the largest landed pro prietors on the other side of the Mersey, has generously dedicated a piece of his most valuable land to the service and worship of the Almighty, which proves to be the very spot where a church is most needed. It is exactly central hetsapen the Tranmere Church and that of Rock Ferry. The site we allude to is opposite to Shakeshaft's Hotel. This munificent gift of Mr. Orred will enable the Rev. Benedict A-thure, the respected incumbent of Tranmere, to take such steps as to accomplish, without much more delay, the desired object, viz., a new church in that part of his extensive district. ARRIVAL FROM CALIFORNIA.—Mr. Richd. Holmes, late of this town, arrived from California by way of New York, in the Canada steamer, on Sunday evening last. Mr. Holmes was well known in this town as foreman to Mr. Richard Crossly, hoot and shoe maker, South Castle street, and subsequently in business for himself in White chapel. A little more than two years ago his premises were burnt down, and he lett this country for South America. Not liking the country be started for California, long before the gold fever set in, and he has resided there altogether about eighteen months. He left San Fran cisco on the 2d September last. During a part of last year, and at the beginning of this year, he was at work at the mines, and has realised a very handsome sum, as he brings home with him 501bs. weight of pure gold. He favoured us with a call yesterday, and showed us some of the gold dust, with several large pieces of the precious metal, which he picked up from the beds of the river. The largest piece of pure gold which he secured weighed eight ounces and a half. He states that there is, no doubt, a great deal of gold in the country, but, with that exception, he added—" it is not worth a straw." For three months last year he never slept under cover of any kind, and the softest bed he could indulge in was a rock. Everything was e xorbitantly dear, and there is a great scarcity of the fair sex. He left 220 sail of vessels at San Francisco. THE SPARKLING LIVERPOOL WATER.—A very intelli gent correspondent of a eontemporary demolishes utterly the statements of Mr. Spencer. that our sandstone water is had, because it is so bright and sparkling. That gentle man says that the " superior brig littie , s " of the Liver pool water is due to the "impurities chymically combined with it, and which increase its powers of refraction." The writer first alluded tn, proves the complete fallacy of this as follows :—" Perhaps, by the terms ' bright' and ' spaleling.' Mr. Spencer mewls the amount of trans mitted light. If so, it, is equally untrue that ' bodies are bright or sparkling in the degree of the power they possess cf refracting light.' Chromate of lead—a dark red mineral, not even transparent, hut only translu cent, and that generally only on the edges, and therefore not ' bright' or ' searkting' in the second sense— has twice the refractive power of the clearest rock Misted. Bodies, then, are not ' bright' or ' sparkling' in any sense, ' in the power they possess of refracting light.' If, therefore, brightness is not dependent on refractive power, which I tun e shown it is not, it must be erroneous to affirm, as Mr. Spencer does, that ' PURE Hotham-street' has ' its superior bright caused by those very impurities which are chemically com bined with it, and which increase its powers of refraction. Well, indeed, may ' PURE! !! Hotham-street' stand in three-fold astonishment at the infliction of this paradoxi cal libel on its purity. Neither is the proposition correct which states that. 'the density of our Liverpool water is increased by those bodies it holds in solution, and thereby its angle of refraction undergoes a corresponding degree if increase." The angle of retraction' of a body bears no known relation to its density. Carbonic acid has a density twenty four timer as great as hydrogen, whilst its refrac tive power is only one-seventh of that of the latter body. Alcohol has a considerably less density than water, hut a greater refractive power. Sulphuric acid has a density two and a quarter times that of oil of turpentine, with a less refractive rower. in no form of matter, then—solid, liquid, or acriforin—would increasing the density of a body necessarily increase its refractive power. The con dition on which refractive power depends is not. known. Sir Isaac Newton supposed it to he connected with com bustibility, and predicted the combustibility of a diamond from is refractive power. This prediction was only a lecky guess, and not a philosophical deduction, for the feet of chromate of lead being wholly incombustible, and vet ore of the most hie hly refracting; bodies known. shows that refractive power flees not depend on combustibility." SI - LECT VESTRY. -The usual perio ical meeting was held on Tuesday : the Rev. Rector Campbell in the chair. There were nineteen other member, present. In reply to a question. Mr. Hart said the accounts of th t parish were not yet completed, hut iv 'alit be published as soon as ready.—Some conversation took place relative to the man lier in which the overseers sn‘N re emnponnilieg for the rates with the owners of cottage property. Mr. Haile aeproved of the plan, as a small loaf was better than none, and the mass of the tenants would not pay. Same remarks were made relative to certain charges of hardship to teaanta against the collectors. It was coniplained of that the Flouse Owners' Guardia :1 Satiety proceeded in a very ir regular and extra-judicial manner towards the collectors ; and the Chairman said that the latter had a right to he furnished with the particulsrs of every charge brought against them, before they were called upon to answer it.—The proceedings of the Industrial Schools' Committee having been read, it was recommended to the committee to purcliaae a printing press, for the purpose o f teaching the boys in the school the art of printing.—The report of the Medical Relief Committee stated that the cholera had, in Liverpool, ceased tr he epidemic. It appeared that the house of refuge, in Queen Anne-street, had in no one case been of any use.—Mr. 'Willmer brought forward his motion that the correspondence be tween Mr. Cafferata and the Poor-law Commissioners should be expunged from the minute-book. He thought. this necessary to prevent. it from forming a precedent hereafter. Mr. Cafferata had said that he wrote to the commissioners as a private member of the board ; hut it was so done as to identify the correspondence with the acts of the enmrcissioners.—Mr. Gardner seconded t h e motion.—Mr. Cafferata opposed it, on the ground that any member hail a right to write to the commissioners for his owe guidance, and no decision of the board would ' prevent him from doing so again.—Mr. Wylie moved an amendment—that the correspondence be allowed to remain in the book, with the understanding that it would be not admitted as a precedent; and this was seconded.—Mr. Woodruff reprehended the conduct of Mr. Cafferata in writing to the Commissioners, when he knew at the time that the views and wishes of the board were altogether against him. Ho said the correspondence would never have been entered in the books if the chairman of the workhouse committee (Mr. Cafferata) bad not refused to nut an amendment to the committee on these letters. He (Mr. Woodruff) had in consequence resigned, being a member of the committee. Shortly after several gentle men of the board pressed him to come forward again, and when he was proposed, Mr. Cafferata moved the appoint ment of another gentleman against him, though that gen tleman was not known to Mr. Cafferata. He also com plained that Mr. Cafferata, during his absence, had said that he (Mr. Woodruff) had come back " like a spoiled child," and wished to be re-elected. Mr. Woodruff then entered into an explanation of the reasons which caused him again to become a member of the vestry, from which it appeared he was strongly solicited, and at length reluct antly promised to serve again. Mr. Woodruff, in con clusion, said,—l ask the chairman of the Workhouse Com mittee how he dared to make use of xnv name in the way in which he did. and call me " a spoiled child." (Hear, hear, and loud laughter.) I tell him to his far•, that. it he would do his duty to the board instead of mixing him self up with underhand and factious attacks upon indivi duals, it would be much more to his credit and honour. I think that in this case his conduct has been most unwar rantable, and I do not hesitate to tell him that it is un worthy of a member of this vestry to impute to others improper motives in the manner he has done.—Mr. Earle said that since he had heard Mr. Cafferata's letter read, he had changed his opinion, as he thought the letter offi cious, if not official. He thought nothing ought to be in the books which had not been sanctioned by the com mittee. As to members writing to the commissioners for their own guidance, that was a different thing After a few words from Mr. Abraham, in support of Mr. Cafferata, Mr. Willmer consented to withdraw his motion in favour of Mr. Wylie's amendment, and the latter was carried. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. YESTERDAY.—There were but 19 prisoners for petty thefts ; no case of interest ; and no commitments for trial. A boy, James M'Grath, for stealing butter, was committed to gaol for three months. Catherine O'Neale, for rob bing a little boy who, for a living, sings in the street, of Is. aid., was committed for two months. A woman named Malone was on Tuesday fined 40s. for inflicting a serious injury on the skull of another woman with a rolling-pin. EXTENSIVE ROBBERIES.—Five men, named William Brown, John Harper, Joseph Harper, Gilbert Patterson, and John Finch, were charged on Tuesday, the former with breaking into houses in Paddington, Mount-pleasant, Ivy-street, and elsewhere, and stealing silver spoons, jewellery, &c., and the latter with receiving the stolen property. The apprehension of the parties arose from a report of numerous burglaries having recently taken place in the neighbourhood of Windsor, which induced the po lice authorities to place Storey and Povey, two of the de tective police, on the look out, and these officers were again assisted by Johnson, Hutchins, and Grimby, also police officers. The officers having got on the track of the prisoners, traced them from place to place, particu larly to No. 10, Ivy-street, where an entrance had been effected on Sunday night, and some plate stolen. The officers succeeded in apprehending the prisoners, one by one, in various places, and discovered a number of silver spoons, a clock case, a quantity of tobacco, several ladies' work ',Jags, and a variety of property of different kinds, as well as a large collection of skeleton keys and house-break ing instruments. Mr. Owen defended Finch, who is a beerhouse-keeper. The whole of the prisoners were re manded for seven days. INGENIOUS CAPTURE.—On Friday a ploughman, named Jackson, in the employ of Mr. John Peers, of Thingwall, had occasion to leave his team, which were engaged in ploughing a field adjoining his master's house, all the inmates of which were absent. On reaching the house, he found that the kitchen window had been broken, and an entrance effected. He immediately went to the stable, where he met one of his fellow-servants, and, on asking him if he had seen any one about, he was informed that two men were seen coming from the house in the direc tion of a wood, situate at a short distance. Jackson then, after detaching one of the horses from the plough, rode in the direction of the field, and overtook two men—one of them, named George Ewart, he succeeded in capturing. Several drawers had been broken open, but the thieves had only taken away six and a half sovereigns. On Saturday, Ewart was brought up before the magistrates and committed for trial. During his examination, Mr. Gleave, the bridewell-keeper, and Mr. Inspector Birnie, observed two women in the court, who seemed to take very great interest in the proceedings. The prisoner was also seen to recognise them. When the court broke up P. C. Mathews and John Tagg watched the movements of the women, and followed them to Liverpool, when they were traced to a house in a court in Upper Beau street. At dusk P. C. Mathews, having the assistance of two Liverpool police-officers, entered the house, and there found a man named Edwards, whose hands were much scratched, and his clothes smeared all over with mud. He was taken into custody, and brought over to Birkenhead, where he was identified as the man who made his escape when Ewart was captured. DISTRICT NEWS. The Bishop of Manchester presided on Monday at the Bible Society meeting in Manchester. At the audit of the Marquis Cholmondeley, held at Halton Castle, near Runcorn, a few days ago, his lord ship's agent, Mr. Hill, returned 10 per cent. to all the tenants. On Monday, at Salford Sessions, Thomas Jones, an engine driver on the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, was sentenced to nine months imprisonment for negli gently causing a collision between two trains at the Bury Station. DEATH OF MR. JOHN BROOKS.—We are sorry to learn that this gentleman, so well known for his connection with the Anti-Corn-law League, and for the prominent part which for many years he took in local and general politics in Manchester, died at his residence, Clarendon house, Cheetham-hill, on Saturday last. Though for a year or more in failing health, which had led him to with draw from business, Mr. Brooks had been for some short time past somewhat better, and able to take carriage ex ercise ; and on the Sunday preceding his decease he had attended church. On Friday last, however, he had a seizure, said to have been caused by some sudden pressure on the spinal marrow, which terminated his life on the following day. Mr. Brooks was in his 63d year. CORRESPONDENCE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. shall feel obliged by your giving publicity to the following correspondence. I am, Sir, Your obedient servant, SAMUEL HOLME. Holmestead, 25th October, 1849. REV. AND DEAR SIR,—I am sorry I was not in when you called a day or two ago. I understand that you have promised your vote to Mr. Jones, and when it was communicated to me, I confess that I felt GRIEVED, because I feared that you might have withdrawn your confidence from me. I was not, how ever, aware of any act or expression of mine that could have given you ground for such withdrawal, as my sole desire has ever been to use all my influence for the general good. On the subject of water.—l am made painfully sensible of the state of thousands of our labouring classes, and have long been striving to introduce every measure that can ameliorate their physical as well as moral condition. I have had to bear up against much prejudice, great obloquy, and indeed severe abuse; and I am pertectly content to bear it, in the full conviction that I am in the path of duty, and that, when the prejudice has worn away from the public mind, I shall have full justice done both to my acts and motives. At the same time, I will be candid enough to inform you, that anise of those who are opposing me have made much of your promise, and I understand that it will he the means of depriv ing me of the support of several others. My object in writing is simply to request that you will fulfil the promise which you have made, whatever may be the conse quences to me, for I fear that if you do not do so (whatever may be your feelings at present) it may be made a pretext for attacks upon you which might not be pleasing, and may be transferred from you to that church of which you are so zealous a minister. Of ail the votes with which I may be favoured, I value none so much as those of the clergy of that church of a hick I am a member, and whose principles I have for so many years had the privilege of advocating ; and I shall endeavour to think that your promise was hastily made, and that your recorded vote against me will not deprive me of your friendship and esteem. —Believe me to be, reverend and dear Sir, your very faithful servant, UEL HOLM E. Rev. W. Pollock. 51, Rodney-street, Oct. 25. MY DEAR SIR.—I have to thank you very much for your kind and generous letter. It has iniieed pained me exceedingly to find myself occupying' a pesitiin of seeming hostility to you. But I trust you have already heard how inadvertently I placed myself in it. It was without the remotest idea that you were the opposing Candidate that I promised to vote for Mr. Jones. Your address had not then appeared, and so i4 - norant was I of Thafterf, municipal, that I did not so 11:11C11 as know you to be One of the Members for this Ward. Had I been better informed nothing would have induced tne to pledge myself against you ; for however I may have the niisfortnne to iiiffer from von on the Water question, as far as I understand the merits Of the case, I have always entertah ed the very liigliest respect for dour motive , and character, and felt it a privilege and a happin. ss to reckon you anumgriiy friends. It has accordingly p a i,,,d rue not a little to see you the object of so much public animad version, and I should have been the last person to have know ingly arrayed myself against yon. I have applied to Mr. Jones's Committee for permission to withdraw, conditionally at least, front my engagement; and I have reason to believe that I shall be whtilly set free. I much wish that the whole event were as though it had never been. With sincere e►teem and regard, I am, my dear Sir, Yours very faithfully. WM. POL LOCK. Samuel Holme, F.sq. Holmestead, 29th October, 1849. REV. AND PEAR Stn, —Finding, from conversation with various persons, that much misapprehension exists as to your voting against me, and seeing in the Journal, of Saturday, a remark to the effect that you had been canvassed by Dr. IWNeile on my behalf, I should feel obliged, by your per mission, to publish the letters which we exchanged, as it would have the effect of setting all parties right, and particu larly you and myself; anti, if you have no objections, may I trouble you for my letter, as I have no copy of it. considering it at the time a mere private note to a friend.—l am, reverend and dear Sir, yours faithfully and respectfully, Rev. W. Pollock. SAMUEL HOLME. 51, Rodney-street, Oct. 29th, 1849. My DEA it SIR,—You are perfectly at liberty to publish the letters which have passed between us, although mine was written, like yours, without the least idea of its future publication. 1 lays not seen the paragraph in the Journal; but it is quite untrue that I,waa canvassed by Dr. *Nude fur lir. Ilolm♦ The simple facts are that, at a public breakfast, Dr. BI‘N elle in cidentally alluded, when ►n conversation with me, to the unfor tunate mistake I had committed in ignorantly pledging myself against you. I was, at the moment, about to have introduced the subject myself, and he afterwards offered to give me, should I desire it, an introduction to Mr. Jones, that 1 might explain the matter to him. Ile did not attempt to exercise the slightest influence over me. Should you decide on publishing our former letters, I should like this statement to appear also. Before I conclude, it is right to say that my error is wholly to be attributed to my own precipitancy. I am sure that the gentleman to whom I promised my vote is above all conceal ments, and supposed me to be in possession of ail the circum stances of the contest. Believe me, Samuel Holme, Esq My dear Sir, Yours very faithfully, WM. POLLOCK. DOCK RATING. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. SIR, —Being an advocate for a modified rating of the Dock Estate, and as the question appears to be taken up more as a party cry than on its own merits, in order to influence the municipal elections, I venture to present it to the electors in what I conceive to be its true light. As your space is valushle I will be very bref. In the 51st George 111., passed in 1811, the principle of provid ing for worn-out or superannuated servants is distinctly re cognised, by aprropriating two-thirds of the penalties in flicted for offences under the Dock Act as a fund for this purpose ; and stipulating that in the event of the sum not amounting to a certain amount, then that amount was to be taken out of the dock rates. This clause, sir, I sub mit, clearly recognises the principle that the dock estate should be chargeable, and not the parish, with the main tenance of the worn-out servants, or the widows of those who might lose their lives in the service of the Dock Trustees. The Municipal Reform Act, passed in the reign of William IV., diverted the penalties to the Borough Fund for the maintenance of felons committed under the Dock Acts, depriving the servants of the Dock Trust of their retiring fund, but still recognising the prin ciple of payment of expenses to the Borough Gaol. In an act passed, I think, in the 4th and sth Vic., power is granted to the Dock Trustees to take £lOOO per annum for charitable purposes. out of the rates; and, in a late act, further power to grant pensions to the officers of the Trust, to be secured by Dock Bonds. Now, sir, as I believe it will be admitted that, whatever may be the beneficial advantage offered to the general com merce of the country, the inhabitants of Liverpool experi ence certain prejudicial effects, and in none more than the increaseofcri me, rendering it necessary to pro% idea large gaol at the cost of the borough ; and if, as I believe, the docks cause half, if not more than half, the cri me committed, I again submit that. the Dock Estate should contribute, pro rata, to the erection of the new gaol, and to the maintenance of the same ; and such a contribution would, I should hope, induce all parties to look the present difficulties fairly in the face, as regards the position of the Corpora tion and the Pike water scheme, with a view to an honour able settlement.—l remain, sir, your obedient servant, HENRY C. CEIAPMAN. Liverpool, Oct. 31st, 1849. FOREIGN AND COLONIAL.. FRANCE The president of the French republic reviewed thenational guard of St. Germain on Sunday. Ile was accompanied by the minister of war, his aide-de-camp, and a numerous suite. During the review, the president was greeted with enthusiastic shouts of " Vive le President," " Vive Napo leon." There were a few cries of " Vive l'Empereur," and even of " Vive le Roi." A very few cries of " Vive la Republique." One man shouted " A bas la Repub lique ;" " Vive le President ;" but he was arrested by some bystanders. Two or three ill-looking men cried " Vive la Republique Democratique et Sociale." The president then visited the racecourse. FRANCE AND MOROCCO. —Accounts from Gibraltar mention that, on the 22d instant, a Spanish steamer un expectedly arrived there from Tangiers, bringing all the French residents in Morocco, in consequenceof the French charge d'affaires having broken off negotiations with the Moorish government. The French consul-general and the vice-consul had embarked on board thePemone frigate, and hostilities would probably commence by the bombard ment of Tangiers and Mogadore, as soon as the French squadron should arrive. The steam-frigate, Dauphine, was sent from Tangiers to, Tosilon, on the night of the 20th, with instructions to the French Mediterranean fleet to sail for Tangiers. The reason of this unexpected ter mination of the negotiations was supposed to be on ac count of the emperor having decapitated a courier, for merly in the service of M. Roche, the French charge d'affaires, and whom the French government had de manded to be given up. On other points, the emperor had ordered satisfaction to be given to the French, and the flag of that nation was to have been saluted on the 21st instant, by the batteries of Tangiers ; but the French consul rejected this partial ratification, and ordered all French subjects to leave the territory of Morocco. Tan giers was perfectly tranquil on the 21st instant. The paths was expecting instructions from the emperor to place the fortifications in a state of defence. The amount of gold received in the United States from California, amounts to 8'3,500,000, or £BOO,OOO, which appears small. During the next six months, eight mil limo:, of dollars were experthd. IRELAND. The Limerick Chronicle brings an account of another murder in Clare, the third or fourth which has disgraced the annals of that county during the present month. In consequence of rumours that demonstrations would be made in Ulster on the sth of November, reinforcements of troops have been sent from Dublin into the county of Down. Two members of a petit jury locked up for the night at the Tralee sessions just concluded, came into the town during the night, and conveyed refreshments back to their fellow-jurors. In the morning the matter came to the ears of the barrister, who ruled heavy fines against the jury, which were subsequently reduced to £5. On Friday, the 19th, the Lord Bishop of Tuam held a confirmation at Selerna Missionary Station, when thirty converts, who a few short months ago belonged to the Church of Rome, came forward boldly in spite of much opposition, and from a distance of fourteen miles through wet and cold, to profess openly their belief in the finished work of Jesus, the only Saviour and Mediator. The landed proprietary of the county of Limerick, marshalled by Lord Monteagle, of Brandon, have taken the initiative towards the preparation of a " case" to be laid before Lord Clarendon, setting forth their inability any longer to cope with the difficulties which beset them on every side, the monster grievances being, the poor law and free trade—the latter as it affects Irish agriculture. It is rumoured in some fashionable society that a cer tain young lady. who lately vowed eternal constancy to one of the transported Confederate pa' riots, and whose affectionate parting in the gaol melted the turnkeys to tears, is about to transfer her plighted vows to the scion of an ancient family, and to change her faith with her affections—this having been insisted an by the new lover.—Limerick Chronicle. THE NENAGH CHAPEL.—The rebellion of the parish ioners, or rather a portion of them, in Nenagh, continues to rage as fiercely as ever. All the doors of the chapel were completely walled up on Wednesday. Crowds of persons filled the yard, while the process of barricading was in progress. A sum of £162 has been already raised with which to present the Rev. Mr. Power. It is said that the subject will be referred to the Pope. RECLAMATION OF LAND FROM RIVERS.—The Lords Commissioners of Woods and Forests have served notices, claiming the land taken in from the river by the Cork, Blackrock, and Passage Railway Company, and they have written to say that a valuator is instructed to come over and value the property for their lordships. The Corpora tion of Liverpool, within a few days, completed a corn promi.e with the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, by consenting to pay to the credit of their lordships a sum of £160,000, for land they took in from the river.— Cork Constitution. ENGLISHMEN AND IRISHMEN.—Mr. Bright, in his recent harangue on the state of Ireland, has so expressed himself as to encourage the inveterate tendency of Irish men to look to everything and everybody, excepting only themselves, for the causes of their misery. Had English men indulged much in the sentimental speculations which form the staple of Mr. Bright's Irish sympathy, they would never have emerged from pristine barbarism, wretchedness, and dirt. It is not one Englishman in twenty who has a chance of getting, we do not say a free hold, hut a holding of any sort that a man can live unon. Not one in twenty has a pecuniary interest in the Esta blished Church, or any reason besides his religions con victions for remaining a member of it. In fact, there is not an Irish grievance but we could show the like. Yet we are comparatively, though only comparatively, pros perous, happy, awl peaceable. The reason is obvious. Englishmen are in the habit of considering that every man must take care of himself, and has himself to thank if he does not maintain, and even improve, his position in society. 7'lir PURLOINF.D LETTER.—Cireumstanc::s connected with the now notorion% letter of Mr. Christopher Fi4,z- Amon, son-in-law of Daniel O'Connell, arid, by the grace of the Whigs, clerk of the Hanaper. were laid fully beforc us so long ago a. , the day of her Majesty's a rival in Dublin. We had then no evidence of Lord Claren don'6 having taken any step upon this most audacious suggestion ; such evidence has, however, since been sup plied by his official organ, the Evening Post, in the fol lowing semi-official sentences :—" After the 12th of July, one of the .most disgraceful modes talked of for annoying the sovereign was to offer some qtrront to Lady Jocelyn, on account of her relationship to Lord Roden, as it was published in the newspapers that she would accompany her Majesty. This fact (already known to the government) was communicated by the gentlemen whom the Newry newspaper so grossly libels, and than whom a more honourable man or loyal subject exists not in the Queen's dominions." Contrast, we beseech you, honest reader, the free translation of Lord Clarendon with the plain text of Christopher Fitzsimon. The following is the letter it: elf "July 21, 1819. " MY DEAR CONNELLAN,—I trust I shall be pardoned for mentioning a suggestion—l make it from my sincere anxiety that no chance accident should in any way damp the enthu siasm with which the people are ready to receive the Quecn. " Lord Itod,n is looked on as the cause of the late lamented affair in the North. His daughter in-law, so immediately after coming in attendance on her Majesty, would be of ' Mauvais augure.' I know the people of Dublin would feel it so. Could not Lady -Jocelyn get tooth•ache, or some other great malady, to entitle her to sick leave for the time—and allow some other less dangerous name to appearin the Queen's suite? " Ever, dear Connellan, most sincerely yours, " C. FITZSIbTON. " C. Cnnnellan, Esq.," &c., &c. —Dublin Herald. CLERIC4IL INTELLIGENCE. 4 Lady Erskine has just presented to Conway Church a very valuable set of silver communion plate. Dr. 011ivant will be the new Bishop of Llandaff. Fie was formerly vice-president of Lampeter College, Wales, where so many of the Welsh clergy are educated, and his appointment will give great satisfaction in the principality. THE BISHOP OF RUPERT'S LAND.—A letter from the bishop to a friend in England, dated " York Factory, Rupert's Land, August 22, 1849," announces his lord ship's safe arrival, in excellent health, at that place, after a journey of seven weeks, from Orkney. All Dr. Ander son's friends will rejoice to hear of his auspicious arrival at his interesting see. COURT AND FASHION. Lord Augustus C. Lennox Fitzroy, Captain in the Coldstream Guards, and second son of the Duke of Graf ton, is to be Equerry to the Queen. The Earl of Strathmore expired at Holyrood Palace last week, in his 77th year. Amongst the passengers by the Canada is Mrs. Patter son, who was married in 1810 to Jerome Buonaparte ; but whom, by a decree of Napoleon, he was compelled to divorce. Jerome is in Paris. Mrs. Patterson is sister in-law to the Marchioness of Wellesley and the Duchess of Leeds. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. THE CHASE.

A bust of Mendelssohn has been placed in front of the orchestra of the Birmingham Music-hall. The late Mr. Marshall, of Ip_eds, who was the most ex tensive flax spinner of England, said once that he yet ex pected to supersede cotton entirely by flax. On Monday, n 9 hales of foreign hops arrived in London from Antwerp, being the largest importation which has ever taken place from a foreign port. The government has iL , ued an order for the observance of a day of national th&uksgiving, on account of the re- moval of the plague. Amongst the new publications advertised last week, was one entitled—The Art of tying the Scarf and hand kerchief in ten different Ways. The deputation to the French and Roman Govern ments, agreed upon at the meeting of the Evangelical Alliance in Scotland, is no v on its way. The Elder Brethren of the Trinity-house, London, have contributed £lOO in aid of the funds of the Baths and Washhouses for the labouring classes, Goulston square, Whitechapel, London. In the pottery districts, and in Nottingham and Leices ter, the manufacturers are full of orders ; in f -ct, there is a scarcity of workmen, partly owing, no doubt, to emi gration. HUNGARIAN REFUGEES.—On Monday, the Join Bull steam-packet arrived at St. Katherine's Docks, from Ham burg, bringing with her the following distinguished Hun garians :—General Klapka and servant ; M. Fornet, Be rauyi, Kamvessy, Uhaze, Bandezza, and Ahednyanszky. A reputed " old witch" died recently at Fife, after having enjoyed the perquisite of a fish from every fisher man who desired good fortune: and on searching her dwelling 2000 sixpences, 1020 shillings, 9 sovereigns, £7 in hank notes, and £4O were discovered. The supplies of poultry from Belgium at the present time to the metropolis are particularly large. The steam ship Triton, just arrived from Ostend, has brought 113 cases of poultry of various kinds, including large quanti ties of rabbits, which abound in that country. EXTRAORDINARY MATCH.—At Newmarket Houghton races, last week, the match between Lord H. Lennox's Bee-Hunter, and Lord Airlie's Clincher, for £20,000, came off; and, after one of the most exciting struggles ever witnessed, ended in a dead heat. MEMORY.—There is a Devonshire gentleman in the Custom-house, London, who, it is said, can tell where any ship that may be named out of 2000, hails from, and in what port she is registered. He comes originally from Tiverton. At Leeds, last week, an old man, who was supposed to have died of cholera, was about to be deposited in his coffin, when, to the dismay of the bystanders, he started up and exclaimed, " Nay, I'm not going to stand that nother." The poor fellow died in reality shortly after wards. CHANGE OF FORTUNE.—On Thursday morning last, a poor man named Wynne, residing in Lower Bridge...street. Chester, received intelligence of a long absent brother being at: the point of death, under whose will Wynne was constituted heir to ao a.tata ia Baaaaa kyr,. ouluod £12,000. On the 12th of June last, four whaling ships—the Supe rior, of Peterhead, the Lady Jane, of Newcastle, the Prince of Wales, of Hull, and an American ship, the M`Lellan, of New London, were totally wrecked in Mel ville Bay, Davis' Straits. Providentially, not a single life was lost. A memorial to the India-house was last week agreed to by the Manchester Chamber of Commerce, in favour of Mr. Bourne's plan for navigating the rivers of India by steamers with their burden so distributed as to draw only twelve inches of water. A similar memorial has also lately been transmitted by the leading merchants at Aberdeen. SPIRIT DRINKING IN THE UNITED KINGDOM.—From the excise returns, lately issued, the following summary of the consumption of spirits in the three kingdoms, for the half year ending July 5, is taken :—England, 4,107,000 gals. ; Scotland, 3,239,000 ; Ireland, 3,091,000 —making a total of 10,437,000 gala.—giving an annual consumption to each individual of the population, according to the census of 1841, of, in England four pints ; Ireland, six pints ; Scotland, twenty pints. Thomas Maguire, the Irishman, who was certainly robbed and supposed to have been murdered at Chelsea, has re-appeared. A reward had been offered for the dis covery of his body, hut he was recognised at Deptford, by an acquaintance. lie stated to the police, that the rob bery was committed by Mrs. M'Donald, and that when he discovered his loss he rushed from the neighbourhood in a state of frenzy, and cared not where he went or what became of him. SECOND GREAT TEMPERANCE MEETING.—The second great public meeting in furtherance of the diffusion of temperance principles among the people of this country took place on Monday at Exeter Hall. The hall was ex ceedingly well filled. The 117th Psalm having been sung by the meeting, John Cassell, Esq., took the chair and proceeded to open the business of the meeting. Among the speakers were the Rev. E. Bickersteth and other clergymen. MILITARY RIOT.—At Newport, Monmouthshire, on the evening of the 22nd inst., from thirty to forty privates of the 14th regiment got intoxicated in one of the beer shops in that town. On their leaving the house, they grossly insulted every person they met, inflicting with their cross-belts tremendous blows, and completely cleared the streets. These attacks were ultimately subducel by the police, but not before several respectable inhabitants had been very much injured. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.—On Monday night a fire broke out in the model establishment of baths and washhouses, Whitechapel, London, by which the large drying house and all that it contained (filled with towels left by poor women to dry) were destroyed, as were also the mangling and ironing compartments. Some of the private baths were likewise very much damaged. The premises were fortunately insured, but the loss and inconvenience to the poor in the neighbourhood will be great. AN AUCTIONEER AND HIS CLIENT.—At Morptli, the other day, a local George Robin?, in putting up a few old houses in the town or sale by auction, took arcasion to speak in such glowing terms of the advantages of the pro perty, that the vendor, an old man, who was sitting by, cried out. " Come, come, there is no occasion for all that ; my property should be sold first." The old man had been unable to identify his old houses by the auctioneer's eulogistic description of them, and kicked the bottom out of it. A LADY'S POCKET PICKED OF £loo.—Early on Mon day the wife of Mr. 11111, the architect, Birmingham, pat into her purse Bank of England notes to the amount of £4OO, far the purpose of taking them to her husband's office, in order that they iniAt be ultimately placed to his credit at the bank. On her wet to New-street, how ever, accompanied by her little boy, she had occasion to go through the Market-hall, and, shortly after quitting the vicinity of the Bull-ring, she found that her purse, with its £lOO, had vanished. GOVERNMENT BRIBES.—Our readers are aware that the extended desecration of the Sabbath in the London Post-office commenced on Sunday. The authorities in that establishment having failed in tempting their officers to break the law of God, by offering them 10s. a-day for the act of desecration, next comnianded them to break the holy commandment, however their consciences might then. by he offended. Some of them have obeyed man, and gone. Others have rather obeyed God, and refused to go. We shall mark how the Government act towards the latter in cons+ qIIeTICO. — ROC6rd. ARTESIAN WELLS.--A co.reseotident o the Times says—There is a fact connected with the artesian wells of London which is not generally known. It is this :—For the last 28 years the water has been getting lower and lower, at the speed of two feet per annum ; in some cases, recently, it has been observed to be four feet. In other words, while the water in all the deep-spring wells in London, at the time mentioned, ranged with the level of Trinity high-water mark, the same wells now, (notwith standing the frequent extra sinkings and borings which have been going on to improve the same,) cannot yield their supply of water so high by sixty feet. COLLISION AND Loss OF LIFE.—On Sunday "a fatal collision happened about nine miles north-east of Botchy Head. The unfortunate occurrence took place between the barque Mary, a large American vessel, and the brig Greyhound, from Stockton to Exeter, heavily laden. It appears they sighted each other at about t h re e o clock, the wcather somewhat hazy, when shortly after, by some mismanagement, they came in contact with fearful force, the Araerican barque cutting the brig down to the water's ed t e, and sweeping away both masts. She sank almost immediately, only a portion of the crew having time to escape on board of the barque ; the remainder were either killed below, or were carried down by the sinking vessel. SIR /OMNI FRANKLIN AND THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION% —The lords of the admiralty received, on Saturday after noon, communications from Dundee, dated October 26th, of the arrival of the whaling ship Advice, Captain Penny, from Davies Straits, in the roads off that port the night previous. Up to the departure of the vessel, eight weeks since, Captain Penny had been in communication With the natives, but could not obtain the slightest information of the arctic expedition. Another whaler, the St. Andrew, had also arrived at Aberdeen, which had had a quick pas sage from the straits in five weeks. She was unable to gait, any tidings. At Messrs. Ransome and May's establishment, Ipswich, the site of a Workman's Hall has been determined upon, and the money is now ready to build it. It will cost about £l,OOO. There will be forty dormitories for single men and lads, which will be let at Is. 6d. a-week, inclu ding attendance; there will be a large room, for evening resort, a workman's drawing-room, a library, and reading rooms. The building will he fitted up with baths. There will be a resident matron and mistress ; a kitchen, and a cook. The privileges of the hall will be available to every workman upon the establishment, upon paying a subscrip- tion of one shilling a-quarter. A WOMAN SHOT.—George Harman, a gas-stoker, of Ore, near Hastings, went to his work on Monday week, leaving a loaded gun with which he had been shooting starlings, in one corner of his kitchen. Before leaving the house, he cautioned his wife that the weapon was loaded, and desired her to forewarn their lodger of it when be re turned from his work. She appears to have forgotten to do so, and an accident, fatal to herself, was the consequence. The lodger, a railway labourer, who was on excellent terms with his landlord and landlady, had scarcely re turned home, and sat down to tea, when he began to play with the barrel of the gun, and, lifting it from the ground. got it entangled in the bar of a chair, so as to pull the trigger. The unfortunate woman received the whole charge in her head, and died almost instantly. iMMENSE TAKE OF Fisn.—During the last week, both the Yarmouth and North of England fishing boats which follow the shoals of herrings have been laden to a most extraordinary degree—particularly with herrings, soles, and codfish—the herring boats each having from 10 to 20 lasts (10,000 to the last,) or from 100,000 to 200,000 fish on board. So many were there for sale on Friday and Saturday, that the curers could not take half the quantity, although they were offered, in some instances, for less than the harbour dues ; they had, therefore, to be sold to hucksters at any price they would obtain, tens of thou sands being thrown overboard. Fresh herrings at Is. per swill of 500, some at even less; slightly cured, known as Yarmouth bloaters. at from Is. to ls. 6d. per hundred, basket included, fine fish. Soles at 6d. per score, weigh ing from 111 b. to 21b. per pair. Codfish, weighing from 10Ib. to 121 b. each, for from 6d. to 9d. per lb. THE PUFF POPISH.—As a specimen of the style in which the Romanists recommend their holy works to their people, we give the following advertisement, which appears in last week's Tablet :—" Church of Our Ladye, Star of the Sea.* * *—Contributions for the completion of this Church are earnestly solicited. We have advanced a great way—for small means we have done much. The tower with its turrets is finished, and a large portion of its spire, but as we cannot incur debt, our work must soon stop if aid he denied us. Stella Maris, succurre ca denti . 0 We last week sounded for a bell. As yet no friend has chimed in. Still we have hopes those silvery notes will sound those evening chimes. The rule screen is still an open question here. Fire has elicited smoke, hut conviction comes of money. How logically would some £3OO conclude this controversy of taste. Come, Media valists, pluck up—no, pluck down—show your metal." PEACH CONGRESS.—A meeting was held in Exeter Hall, on Tuesday ; Mr. Ewart in the chair. A large num ber of foreigners appeared upon the platform, among whom were many distinguished Frenchmen, who had come over by special invitation to take part in the meet ing. The greatest possible interest was excited by the announcement that Gen.Klapka and M. Übaze, the civil governor of Comorn, and several other Hungarian refu gees, were present. They took their seats beside the chairman amidst enthusiastic applause. Several speeches were delivered. Those which excited the greatest interest were given by R. Cobden, Esq., M.P., Samuel Gurney, Esq., the Rev. W. Brook, and several members of the French deputation. The hall was crowded to its utmost capacity, and the proceedings passed off with the greatest possible eclat. Upwards of 1,500 persons were refused admittance. FREE TRADE AND PRICES.—The number of oxen and cows imported into the port of London last week was 1,448. There were also 152 calves imported, and 4,254 sheep. The competition from comparatively poor coun tries, where a, little money goes a great way, tells very seriously upon the profits of home producers. Whatever butchers may charge to the consumers, the prices paid to the cattle owners at Smithfield have greatly fallen off. The beasts at market last Monday were in number 5,220, and many of them were driven away unsold. The num ber exceeded by 842 the beasts at market on the corres ponding Monday of 1848; and by 1,570 the number on the corresponding Monday of 1847. Prices have fallen in proportion. On Monday last the market price of beef in Smithfield was 2s. 4d. to 35. 4d. per Blbs. ; in 1848 it was 3s. 4d. to 4s. ; in 1847 it was 3s. 6cl. to 4s. 10d. Thus it is '!.down corn, down corn," indeed. How is the English farmer to live ?—Post. SUPPLY OF MILK TO LONDON.—The London and North-Western Company hay e made arrangements for the carriage of milk from 'Willesden, Sudbury, Pinner, Avles. bury, and other numerous places on their line. They to bring it for min nnnnv a sallou from Willesden and other places classed. Milk sells in Lonpon for is. 4d. a gallon. We do not know exactly the price of milk in the several places named ; but, judging from the price of it in other country places, we should say it is not higher than eightpence a gallon, or half the London price. The cost of carriage will admit of a large profit in London, even under reduced London prices. Farmers and cow keepers will find an inexhaustible market for their milk, ' at a price which, before the existence of the arrangement just made, they could not hope to obtain ; and the inha bitants of the metropolis will have the advantage of hav ing country supplies as though they were living in the country.—Herapath's Journal. THE MILITARY RIOT AT NOTTINGHAM.—This trouble some affair is now taking another turn. About nine o'clock on Saturday night, Private Broker, who was not implicated in any way in the charge of insubordination, went up to Policeman Gascoigne whilst on duty at the top of ..lumber-street. After looking at the policeman's number, he exclaimed, " Oh, you are one of the that assisted in taking our men up a few days ago ;" and flaying unbuttoned his jacket, began to strike right and left at the policeman. The latter defended himself with a stick as well as he could, and, having charged some by standers to assist, ultimately succeeded in conveying the soldier to the police office ; but not until he had received a black eye and had his legs sadly cut by the prisoner, who kicked backwards at him with his spurs as they were walking together along the street. The affair had very nearly caused a regular row, many people being collected during the conflict, some of whom arrayed themselves on the side of the soldier and others on that of the police, and showed a ready desire to make a disturbance. How THE TIMES GETS ITS INFORMATION.—Apropos of the Times I just mentioned : the elaborate pains taken by this journal to represent trade as improving in Paris is intended as a flattery to President Bonaparte and his governnu nt. It is for the same reason that the honest thunderer represents every matter in the Bona partist and governmental point de vue, and calumniates every man and every party that is opposed thereto. It is a mistake, however, to suppose, as is done in England, that direct pecuniary means are employed by the French government to secure the support or employed of the Times; the Times takes it out in early information. " Let me know what is passing before any other journal, and I'm for you !" is what the Times always says. It said so to Guizot, then to Lamartine, then to Cavaignac, then to Louis Bonaparte. No doubt it has said the same thing at. Vienna and at Naples; and it was by the same means that it got its information from the French at Rome. This is advantageous to the Times, hut it does not benefit the public.—Paris Correspondent of the Britannia. CURIOUS FREAKS.—A gentleman, named Randall, a solicitor, in Southampton, was in ie habit of taking a tour every year, which occupied him between two and three months. He would leave Southampton suddenly, scarcely acquainting his confidential clerks that he was going, and no one would know anythi.ig about him, until his clerks would receive a letter from him dated perhaps from St. Petersburgh or Vienna. About two months since he left Southampton suddenly and secretly, accord. ing to his usual practice, and no one knew of his where. about until his clerks received a letter about a fortnight since from him from Canada. Since which, information has been received that Mr. Randall was taken ill of cho lc ra, died and was buried in twelve hours in America. Had he died a day before no one in this country would probably have ever heard anything about his decease; but he happened to have been introduced to some one about a day before he was taken ill, which person attended him in his illness, and has written to Southampton the particulars of his death. Mr. Randall was one of the most talented men in his profession in the south of Eng land. He was unmarried, and about forty-five years of are. He was a great connois,eur iii pictures, and his col lection is said to be worth £20,000. Mr. Randall has died wealthy, and has left a large portion of his property to charities and schools in Southampton. HIGHWAY ROBBERY IN CUMBERLAND.—On Saturday cvening last, about seven o'clock, as Joseph Little, of Iloueliton, was returning home, atter attending the Hemp. ton f a i r , three men and a boy sprang from the hedge-side, a short distance beyond the lode gate at the entrance to Rickerby Holme, and knocking him down, rifled his pockets, and abstracted 4s. 6d. in silver, aft w coppers. and a handkerchief. Ile feueht with the robbers as well as he could, but with such odds against him, was, of course, easily overpowered. When he was attempting to use his stick, one of them, finding all other attempts so wrest it from him faultless, pulled out a knife, and smashed his thumb nearly in two. The fellows then, hearing two men approaching decamped—in which direc tion Little was unable to perceive, owing to the darkness of the night. With the assistance of two men who came up to him, he succeeded in walking to the Boot Inn, Houghton, whence lie was conveyed home, in a cart, in a faint and exhausted state. Medical assistance was pro cured with as little delay as possib!e, and every means used to avert dangerous consequences. The unfortunate man believes he can identify the man who maltreated him, who, as well, as his companions, spoke an Irish brogue ; but no trace of them has as yet been obtained.— Carlisle Journal. SINGULAR ATTEMPT TO MURDER A CHlLD. — Great excitement has prevailed in the neialibourhood of Merthyr since the 18th inst., in consequenCe of the following dia bolical attempt to murder a child having been made by a single woman, named Ann Williams,mother of the infant. It appears that on the 17th inst. Daniel Davies, one of the gamekeepers to William Craveshaw, Esq. whilst going his round at a place called Gornos, on his master's estate, had his attention attracted by a noise, which he at first imagined proceeded from a. hare in a trap, but on paying more attenttim, he found it to be the c°if of a child.. He looked round, and, after some SO he discovered a portion of a child's dress protrall from a rabbit hole, which was covered up with Int 4 and leaves. On removing the rubb sh, he found, in the hole, head foremost, a fine infant child, abou t weeks old. It was crying strongly, and its limbs We', black and blue with cold. He immediately too k the Pn; child out, and handed it over to Mrs. Haryard, the of the head keeper, who took it home, gave i t a In"—, bath, and by other kind treatment, saved its life. In ,letei oration having been given to the police, they 89c ertai q n that a young female had left Dowlais on the Tuestil morning, having a child with her. The child found 111; it ing been shown to her late landlady, she identified .„, having been the one the female left with. Search 1101; been made in all directions for this party, she was, length apprehended by police-constable Rees , st G ly n Cywr, near Bridgend. Upon the constable informing 10 of the nature of the charge against her, she pretended _ know nothing about the affair, but on her way hackle Merthyr she admitted that she placed the child in rabbit warren, and said her reason for so doing Was t'd she had no means to support it. The prisoner 01 that the child must have been left exposed in th e hole t l e . whole of one night and the greater portion of two dar She was fully committed to take her trial.
