GOLD, SILVER, DIAMONDS, PEARLS, and all the most precious and costly gems, are imitated to such perfection, that but very few uninitiated persons can positively tell a paste brooch or a ring from a diamond, the real pearl from the imitation, or German Silver from the genuine ; but put them into the hands of the connoisseur, how soon the delusion vanishes when he affirms they are but vile and base imitations. So it is with the most valuable inventions as well as stones and metals. None but the inimitable in value are imitated in appearance, and as Soon as the consumer (the best connoisseur) attempts to use them, how soon he finds out their utter uselessness. Thus it is with the most valuable of all i ,ventions ; the celebrated METALLIC RAZOR TABLET of GEORGE SAUNDERS has been the target for imitation for the last thirty years. To Gentlemen who shave themselves the following query is pro posed.—Why do all the first cutlers in Europe use and recommend Saunders' Four-sided Tablet Razor Strop ? The answer is simply because it is the only one that gives to a razor a keen and smooth edge, DEPOT, 278, STRAND. To wholesale purchasers a liberal discount will be made. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS.

(From the Liverpool Mercury of yesterday.) On Sunday evening last the neighbourhood of Knows ley, the seat of the Earl of Derby, about eight miles from this town, was the scene of a most revolting out rage, which has resulted i n th e d ea th of a young female , only about sixteen years of age. Her name w as Ann Leyland, and she lived in th e ca pacity of servant wit h Mrs. Highcock, the ke e p er o f a l o d ge near the s tables on the Knowsley estate. The name of her murderer is James Dwerryhouse, He had served in the 67th Regi ment of Foot for ten or eleven years, and was discharged on account of ill-health, upon a conditional pension. It is some time since he lost his pension, and we are in formed he has since been in the service of Mr. Robertson Gladstone and Mr. John Molyneux. He former l y lived at Broad-green, but he ha s been residing lately at Waver tree, and had for some time been in the employment of the London and North-Western Railway Company, as signal man. His stepfather had, within a short time, observed something very curious in his manner. He had become very much c h ange d, and was quite o f a religious turn of mind. O n S a turday evening last he was seen by a man in the n e ighbourhood of Waver tree, sitting beside a pit, washi ng hi s feet, and a short t ime after he was seen in the same place, reading wh a t ap peared to be either a prayer-book or a hymn-book. He then ran off, but instead of going in the direction of home ho went to the house of his mother, at Broad -green, and what transpired there will be gathered from the evidence given at the inquest. After he left his mother's house nothing was heard of him till Sunday evening. Appre hensive that he might do injury to himself or to some one else, his friends gave information to the police in Liver pool and Prescot, and also forwarded a description of his person, but he was not seen or beard of till about half-past seven on Sunday evening. At that time he was observed by Mrs. Highcock, coming towards the lodge, which is within two hundred yards of Knowsley Hall. Mrs. Highcock and- .Ann Leyliair44re the only per sons in the lodge. He was met at the door by the old woman, but whether any conversation took place between them or not cannot be ascertained. The tragical event had such an effect upon the mind of Mrs. Highcock, that she was unable to give her evidence before the Coroner, and she has been confined ever since. Certain it is, how ever, that he knocked the old woman down, and she lay on the ground a considerable time in a stat of insensi bility. The girl ran out of the house screaming, in the direction of another lodge, where there is a watchman stationed. She was followed by the prisoner, who seized hold of her, but what next occurred will, probably, never be ascertained, as the girl never spoke after she was again seen. When the old woman recovered, after the lapse, it is supposed, of some little time, she ran towards the stables at the rear of Knowsley-hall, and called for help. One of the grooms, named Mills, was the first to run to the rescue of the poor girl. He found her only a short distance from the lodge, stretched on her back on the ground. Her murderer stood over her. He had a foot upon each of the girl's arms, and holding her down with his hands, he was, with a demoniac grin, tearing the hair and scalp attached to it, from the head of his unfortunate victim. Mills seeing the position of both, fancied the man had a knife in his hand, and going be hind him, pushed him off her body. By this time another of the grooms came up, and the fellow made a rush at him, taking with him the hair and scalp. The madman got away a short distance, went upon the lawn in front of Knowsley-hall, and then danced, holding up the scalp in the manner and with all that fiendish glee which is so well described in the history of some Indian war tribes. When one of the men passed him on his way for the police-officer, he again held up the scalp, as if exulting at the dreadful deed he had perpetrated. The girl, who was in a state of insensibility, was im mediately removed, by the direction of the Earl of Derby into one of the apartments at Knowsley-hall, and a mes senger on horseback was dispatched to Prescot, for Mr. Alty, surgeon, who attended her with unremitting at tention during the whole of the night. The Earl of Derby expressed great anxiety respecting her, and everything which human skill, care, and attention could do for the poor girl was done, but she never rallied, and a little after eight o'clock on Monday morn ing she died. She was buried, we believe, on Wednes day morning. Dwerryhouse was, soon after the melancholy occur rence, conveyed to the police-office, at Prescot, where be remained the whole night. Police-officer, No. 157, of the county police, sat up with him all night. lie dozed a little during the middle of the night, but never slept soundly. lie talked of nothing but religion, and seemed very much disposed to argue about passages from the Bible. After slumbering a little he would jump up suddenly, and talk ag ain of religion. His hands were handcuffed behind his back. Looking exultingly at himself; he said his position reminded him of that of St. Peter, when he was in chains. He said he felt quite consoled and happy —happy as a nobleman. He was free from sin and the dominion of the Evil One, and could easily shake off his fetters if he liked to do so. He then quoted passages of Scripture, andlooked quite pleased. '1 he only reference made by him to the horrible occurrence of the evening before was on Monday morning. After talking a con siderable time on religious subjects, he said he last night met with an evil one, an enemy of God, in the shape of a woman, and he nearly killed her, but he did not know whether she was dead yet or not. In the course of the day, Taylor, the groom, who was one of tho first to go to the rescue of the girl, went into the apartment where the prisoner was confined. He was immediately recog nised by Dwerryhouse, who became quite furious, stamped and foamed, and called out, " Here is another of the enemy; begone out of my sight." An inquest on the body was held at four o'clock o n Monday afternoon, at K no w s ley-hall, b e fore John Hayes, Esq., county coroner, when the jury retu rned a verdict of " Wilful m ur d er aga i n st James Dwerry house." The coroner i mme di ate ly made out his war rant, and the prisoner, in charge of police -sergeant Petty, was conveyed to Kirkdale Gaol, to await his trial at the August Assizes. It was reported at Knowsley, on Wednesday, that the murderer had died in prison the previous day. From inquiries made yesterday at Kirkdale Gaol, we learn that he is still alive, and, apparently, in excellent bodily health. Since his committal to Kirkdale, his conduct has been such as to leave not a shadow of doubt as to the state of his mind. He is continually raving about reli gion. There is no doubt he will be confined in a lunatic i asylum for life. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PLYINIOUTEI, JUNE 16.—His Danish Majesty's corvette Flora, Captain Elibrecht, will probably leave this port to-morrow for a cruise in the North Sea, and proceed thence to Copenhagen. Among the naval cadets on board is his Serene Highness Prince William of Hes s e Phillipsthal, a fine youne: man about 17 years of age, who left this port on the 7th inst. for Marlborough House, to visit his august relative her Majesty the Queen Dimager. The young Prince returned on the 14th, and the next day, in company with Captain Ellbrecht and the officers of the corvette, was entertained by Pert Admiral Sir John West, G.C.8., who invited a large and fashionable party of naval and military officers to meet his distinguished guests. The entertainment concluded by a ball given in the etenin t r by Lady West. The Trinity steam-yacht Vestal, Captain E. W. Jones, came in on the 13th and left on the 15th inst., for an extensive tour of inspection of lights to the eastward. Sir Henry Pellev, deputy chairman ; Captains Ford, Pixley, Shepherd, Mann, and Redman, elder brethren, are on board, and during their stay visited the lighthouse on the Breakwater and Eddystone. l'onTsmouzu, THURSDAY.-The rumour which we gave yesterday respecting the Scourge steam-sloop, and which we could not then trace to any authentic founda tion, has-been confirmed to do,y;-that vessel is being ra pidly dismantled, Captain Catlin, .his officers and crew, being ordered to be turned over to the Fury steam-sloop at Sheerness. The cause of this order is defective ma chinery—the old complaint, although the Scourge is a now vessel, and scarcely one year and seven months in commission. Whether her 13-inch mortar is to blame for this, or the work itself was inferior, we have been unable to find out, but certain it is that the vessel is put i cut of commission. It s high time some commission was appointed to investigate the causes of these repeated failures of the Government steamers from alleged bad workmanship in the machinery, which is continually offering some hindrance .to her Maj es ty' s serv i ce by breaking down. We don t know whether the Scourge's engines are constructed upon any established plan, or whether they are experimental. With the pattern of the Comet before their eyes we are surprised that failure is so frequent. The engines of that excellent little craft are in better working order now than they were when they were fitted in 1822, although h er b o i lers, like the Victory, have not a piece of the original m a t er i a l w i t h which they were constructed in them. Th e mac hi nery of this little model will indeed have t o b e prov i ded with a new hull if she is kept si▪ x months longer in commis sion. We merely adduce this to show th e va l ue of t h e proverb, " Let well alon e. The immense American steam-ship Washington, of 2,000 tons and 2,000 (1) horse, power, passed Spithead this morning, about nine o Flock, on her way to Bremen from Southampton. In point of siz e s h e l oo k e d lik e an elongated three-decker wi▪ th only one streak round her, but about as ugly a specimen of steam-ship building as ever went through this anchorage. She did not appear to make much use of her 2 ,000-horse power either, but seemed rather to roll along than steam through the water. She excited considerable curiosity, although her performances, as compared with the Britannia, had evi dently taken the edge off the feeli ng w i t h w hi c h t h e vessel would have been viewed had a different result been obtained in her favour. The Belleisle, 72, Captain lungcome, sailed this after noon for Plymouth to refit. His Royal Highness Prince Albert will visit this port en route to Osborne on Saturday f or a cursory i nspect i on of the improvements in progress on the estate. His Royal Highness will return to town the same afternoon.

SOCIETY FOR THE IMPROVE MEN I' OF THE LABOURING CLASSES. The third annual meeting of this society was held yesterday at the New Model Lodging-house, in George street, St. Giles's ; Lord Ashley in the chair, who was supported by the Bishop of London, the Bishop of Norwich, Mr. Evans, M.P., the Hon. and Rev. Montagu Villiers, the Rev. H. Dukenfield, &c. The attendance was respectable but not numerous. The CHAIRMAN opened the proceedings by stating that there were three points to which the society dii ected its attention at its establishment. The first was the allotment of land ; the second, the establishment of loan funds; and the third the improvement of the dwellings of the working classes. With regard to the two first, he was not able to say that they had accomplished much as yet, but wit I regard to the third a good deal had been done. There had been two lodging-houses opened in Charles. street and King-street, Drury-lane, end lie expected that the [wine they were then in would be opened on Monday next for the reception of the labouring classes. The Noble Lord, alter pointing out the dangers which beset the labouring population who c2.me up to this metropolis to procure employment, from the crowded and immoral places to which they were obliged to resort, said that those lodg• ing-houses were intended to obviate such evils, and he hoped they would yet become part of their parochial system. The Noble Lord dwelt at some length on the great benefits of the institution, and concluded by im pressing upon the meeting the duty and the necessity of supporting this society, calculated, as it was, to pro• duce such incalculable advantages to the labouring classes, and to promote the spiritual and temporal wel fare of their fellow creatures. Mr. WOOD, the secretary, read the report, which was unanimously adopted, and the Bishop of London, the Bishop of Norwich, Rev. Sir H. Dukenfield, and other speakers having addressed the meeting, several reso lutions to carry out the objects of the society were agreed to, and the meeting separated. The house is calculated to accommodate one hundred inmates, each of whom will have a separate bed, and a separate apartment well lighted and ventilated. The charge to each person will be only fourpence per night, the rate charged at the ordinary lodging-houses, and from the admirable arrangements made to insure cleanliness and comfort, we believe Oct the establishment will be seldom found to want its full complement of inmates. The never-failing effects of Blair's Gout and Rheu , matic Pills in curing every description of gout and rheuma tism, have secured to them a celebrity unequalled by any medicine of past or present times. They not only give relief in a few hours, where the patient has been driven nearly to madness by the excruciating tortures of this disease, but re store to perfect health in an inconceivably short space of time. They are equally speedy d certain in rheumatism, either chronic or acute, lumbago, sciatica, pains in the head or face, and indeed for every rheumaiic or gouty affection ; in fact, such has been the rapidity, perfect ease, and complete safety of this medicine, that it has astonished all who have taken it; and there is scarcely a city, town, or village in the kingdom, but contains many grateful evidences of its benign influence.

The number of the prizes, celebrity of the men, and the severity of the contests leaving nothing to be desired, and the assembly of visitors was numerous and fashionable. The committee, in addition to the usual prizes, have this year given a valuable Challenge Cup, to be awarded to the winner of the trial heats in the grand challenge cup race; and a sixty-guinea challenge cup, for amateur four-oared subs.

The Oxford, a fine powerful crew, who swing well together, had the middle station, and at the word " off" took the lead without procrastination, and kept up the practice till the bridge was `• shot.' This was not effected without many plucky attempts on the part of the Cambridge to wrest this position from them ; but from the very commencement the Cambridge were over powered. The pace in this race, as in the Scullers' Heats also, was remarkably fast, 18 minutes 8 seconds. - - Five o'clock.—Stewards' Challenge Cup.

Final Heat for the Diamond Sculls. W. Maule, Cambridge J G. Moon, Oxford — 2 This heat drew all the stragglers in by-ways, &c., to the river aide, each university prompt to cheer on its champion. Mr. Moon had the Berks station and the best of the start, and having been the favourite before starting, his backers now, naturally enough, became very sanguine, but Mr. Mamie was not to be shaken off. Scull and scull they dashed along the Reach, now one and now the other gaining a trifling advantage, but at Phillis-court Mr. Maule at last obtained a decided lead, which from that point he improved to three boats' length, and finished the race without much distress, Mr. Moon being dreadfully exhausted at the Steward's Stand. The sports of the day were concluded by the Final Heat for Silver Wherries. W. S. Falls and W. Coulthard, St. George's Club (White, Red Cross) 1 Pollock and Fellowes, Cambridge Subscription Rooms, Leander Club (Red) Red, on Berks shore, at the start jumped off with the lead, which they speedily converted to a boat's length and a half; but at Remenham Bay the St. George's pair crawl up to them, and stick to them likes burr- I 'lp to the point, when they make a rush to pass them, but here Mr. Fellowes was somewhat too powerful and very much too energetic for his partner, and by picking his boat up too quickly, bored the other pair almost to the ^ther side of the river; who, to avoid collision, "eased [lttf," but chimed the foul on the ground that though no actual collision bad taken place, they had been hin dered from passing Messrs. Fellowes and Pollock, owing to their being out of their proper course. This the committee allowed, and the cup was awarded to the St. George's men. To-day the racing will be continued, when the final heat for the Grand Challenge Cup will be rowed by the Thames and Oxford University. ATTEMPT DY A SERVANT TO POISON HER MISTRESS —A case of this description has just been heard at the county magistrates' office, at Worcester. The accused is Mary Ann Tandy, servant to Mr. Nicholls, a farmer, residing at Powick, Worcestershire, who was charged with administering poison to her mistress with intent to kill and murder her. It ap peared from the depositions of the several witnesses that Mrs. Nicholls had been in the habit of drinking a little warm water on going to bed, which the servant brought up into her mistress's bed-room. On Thursday last she took up the water as usual to her mistress's room on being requested, and Mrs. Nicholls drank a small por tion of it. She immediately discovered that the water had an unpleasant taste, and exclaimed, " What's in this water ? I am poisoned." Mrs. Clewes, who was on a visit to Mrs. Nicholls, hearing her screams, went to her assistance, and the inmates of the house having been aroused, some mustard and water was ad ministered as an emetic, and had the desired effect. Mr. J. F. Turnberrow, a lodger in the house, administered a further dose of the same, and subsequently gave Mrs. Nicholls the whites of three eggs, which further relieved her. Mrs. Clewes, on tasting the water left in the cup, found it very unpleasant, but the water iti the tea-kettle from which the girl had been seen to pour it into the cup was good. The remainder of the contents of the cup were handed over by Mr. Turnberrow to Dr. Turley, who on the following day analysed them, and on applying the usual tests discovered, without doubt, that oxymurlate of mercury was contained therein. Dr. Turley stated that a fitth of the solution left in the bottle was sufficient to destroy life. He visited Mrs. Nicholls on the same day, and found her labouring under symptoms which left no doubt on his mind that she had taken poison of the same kind as that contained in the solution, part of which Mrs. Nicholls had drunk. Mr. Nicholls had I..id mercury in the house for some days, for the purpo se of dressing sheep, and the prisoner was fully aware that it was kept in a certain cupboard. Mrs. Nicholls had noticed that the paper which contained the mercury had been disturbed, as though it had been opened and wrapped up again. The prisoner was ap. prehended on the following day at the house of her father, at Welland, whither she had proceeded. On being informed of the nature of the charge against her, she said she had not put anything into the cup, and that if there was anything else in the cup, it must have been put in before she poured the water into it. At the termination of the inquiry the prisoner was fully committed to take her trial at the ensuing assizes at Worcester, on the charge of attempt to murder. Mrs. Nicholls had scolded the girl in the course of Thursday morning. We are happy to add that Mrs. Nicholls is in a state of convalescence. THE LATE CONFLAGRATION IN THE STRAND.- OFFICIAL itF.POR.T.—The tire which broke out en Thursday morning in Angel-court, Strand, briefly noticed in this jour nal of the same date, was attended with a far greater de struction of property than was at first imagined. At a moderate calculation the loss will amount to several thou sand pounds, and the whole of the insurances effected upon the buildings and their contents do not exceed 5,0001. The following is Mr. Braidwood's official report of the damages : —" Thursday, halt-past twelve, A.M., a fire occurred in Angel court, Strand, upon the premises belonging to Messrs.

Yesterday, shortly after twelve o'clock, a fire, which at one period threatened very disastrous consequences, broke out upon the premises in the occupation of Mr. Collins, a stationer and bookseller, carrying on business at No. 49, York-road, Lam beth. 'The discovery was made by Mr. Crake, who lives in the adjoining house, to whose exertions may be attributed the escape of the several persons on the premises. The fire men succeeded in getting the flames extinguished, but not without considerable damage being done to the stock in trade and building. How the fire originated could not be ascer tained. Mr. Collins is fortunately insured in the County Fire-office. The police, under Mr. Inspector Arnold, kept the doors of the building closed until the arrival of the firemen, or the damage would have been far more extensive. NECESSITY THE MOTHER OF INVENTION.—After the Snake, Levant packet, was wrecked on the reef near the Cosmoledo rocks, the crew nearly perished from thirst, when, fortunately, they met with an old iron pot and the barrel of an old gun ; the former they converted into a boiler, which they filled with salt water ? they then formed a steam pipe of the barrel of the gun, one end of which they introduced into the lid of the boiler, and the other end they fixed in the stump of a hollow tree, filled with cold water for condensa tion. Thus, in twenty-four hours, they distilled through th e nipple of the gun ten gallons of fresh water.—Decora tor's Assistant. PRICE SD. GUILTY—BUT DRUNK." Many years ago, while the state of Georgia was still in its infancy, an eccentric creature, named Brown, was one of its circuit judges. He was a man of considerable ability, of inflexible integrity, and much beloved and respected by all the legal profession, but he had one common fault. His social qualities would lead him, de spite his judgment, into frequent excesses. In travel ling the circuit it was his invariable habit, the night before opening the court, to get " comfortably corned," by means of appliances common upon such occasions. If he couldn't succeed while operating upon his own hook, the members of the bar would generally turn in and help him. It was in the spring of the year ; taking his w fe—a model of a woman in her way—in the old-fashioned but strong "carry all," that he jour neyed some forty miles, and reached a village where " court" was to be opened the next day. It was late in the evening of Sunday that he arrived at the place, and took up quarters with a relation of his " better half," by whom the presence of an official dignitary was consi dered a singular honour. After he found many old friends, called to the place, like himself, on imp or t ant professional business, and who were properly glad to meet him. " Gentlemen," said the Judge, " 'us quite a long time since we have enjoyed a glass together—let us take a drink all round. Of course, Sterritt (addressing the landlord), you have better liquor than you had the last time we were here ; the stuff you had then was not fit to give to a dog." Sterritt, who had charge of the house, pretended that everything was right, and so they went to work. It is unnecessary to enlarge upon a drinking bout in a country tavern; it will quite answer our purpose to state that somewhere in the region of midnight, the Judge wended his very devious way towards his temporary home. About the time he was leaving, however, some young barristers, fond of "practical jokes," and not much afraid of the bench, transferred all'the silver spoons of Sterritt to the Judge's coat pocket. It was eight o'clock of Monday morning that the Judge rose. Having indulged in the process of ablution and abstertion, and partaken of a cheerful and refreshing breakfast, he went to his room to prepare himself for the duties of the day. " Well, Polly," said he to his wife, "I feel much better than I expected to feel after that frolic last night." " Ah, Judge," said she, reproach fully, "you are getting too old—you ought to leave off that business." "Ah, Polly, what's the use of talking?" It was at this precise instant of time that the Judge, hav ing put on his overcoat, was proceeding, according to his usual custom, to give his wife a parting kiss, that he happened, in thrusting his hand into his pocket, to lay hold of Sterritt's spoons. He jerked them out. With an expression of horror almost indescribable he exclaimed, "My God ! Polly !" " Wh at on eart h' s t h e matter, Judge ?' , " Just look at these spoons ?" " Dear me, where d'ye get them ?" " Get them ? Don't you see the initials on them," extending them towards her, "I stole them." " Stole them, Judge ?" " Yes, stole them." "My dear husband it can't be possible ! from whom ?" " From Sterritt, over there, his name is on them." " Good heavens 1 how could it happen ?" "I know very well, Polly ; I was very drunk when I came home, wasn't L" " Why, Judge, you know your old habit when you get among those lawyers." " But was I very drunk ?" " Yes, you were." " Was I remark ably drunk when I got home, Mrs. Brown ?" " Yes, Judge, drunk as a fool, and forty times as stupid." " I thought so," said the Judge, dropping into the chair in extreme despondency. " I knew it would come to that at last. I have always thought that something bad would happen to me—that I should do something very wrong—kill some one in a moment of passion, per haps, but I never imagined that I could be mean enough to be guilty of deliberate larceny." " But there may be some mistake, Judge." "No mistake, Polly. I know very well how it came about. That fellow, Sterritt, keeps the meanest sort of liquor, and always did—liquor mean enough to make a man do any sort of a mean thing. I have always said it was mean enough to make a man steal, and now I have a practical illustration of the fact," and the poor old man buret into tears. " Don't be a child," said his wife, wiping away the tears, " go like a man over to Sterritt, tell him it was a little bit of a frolic—pass it off as a joke—go and open court, and nobody will ever think of it again." A little of the soothing system operated upon the Judge, as such things usually do; his extreme mortification was inally.sub dued, and over to Sterritt's he went with a tolerable face. Of course he had but little difficulty in settling with him —for aside from the fact that the Judge's integrity was unquestionable, he had an inkling of the joke that had been played. The judge took his seat in court, but it was observed that he was sad and melancholy, and that his mind frequently wandered from the business before him. There was a lack of the sense and intelligence that usually characterised his proceedings. Several days passed away, and the business of the court was drawing towards a close, when one morning a rough looking sort of a customer was arraigned on a charge of stealing. After the clerk had read the indictment to him, he put the question, " Guilty or not guilty?" " Guilty, but drunk," answered the prisoner. "What's that plea?" exclaimed the Judge, who was half dozing on the bench. "He 'loaded Auilty,, but says he was drunk," replied the clerk. " What's the Charge against the man?" "He is indicted for nrand larceny." "What's the case?" " May it please your honour," said the pro secuting attorney, " the man is regularly indicted for stealing a large sum from the Columbus Hotel." " How is this, and he pleads —" "He pleads guilty, but drunk." The Judge was not fully aroused. " Guilty, but drunk! that is a most extraordinary plea. Young man, you are certain you were drunk?" " Yes , sir." " Where did you get your liquor?" "At Sterritt's." " D'ye get none anywhere else?" " Not a drop, sir." " You got drunk on his liquor, and afterwards stole his money?" " Yes, sir." " Mr. Prosecutor," said the Judge, " do me the favour to enter a nollc prosequi in that man's case. That liquor of Sterritt's is mean enough to make a man do anything dirty. I got drunk on it the other day myself, and stole all Sterritt's spoons! Release the prisoner, Mr. Sheriff. I adjourn the court.', SIR GEORGE POLLOCK. The following letter and resolutions, relative to one of our distinguished warriors, have been transmitted to Sir Peter Laurie:— " Calcutta, March 8,_1847. "Sir,—Under the instructions of the Committee ap pointed to carry out the intentions of the inhabitants of Calcutta, I have the honour to forward to you a copy of their address unanimously voted to Sir George Pollock, at a public meeting, held at the Town-hall, on the 7th of December, accompanied by a copy of the fourth resolu tion, also passed at that meeting. " I am further directed to forward to you a copy of the resolutions of a special meeting of the Committee, held on the 18th inst., by which you will observe that you are invited, with other gentlemen, to form a com mittee in England, to carry into effect the fourth reso lution, and prize specified, which you will perceive is to be awarded to meritorious cadets at Addiscombe, in honour of Sir George Pollock, and is thus intended to mark at home, not only the high sense entertained by this community of the Gallant General's great and suc cessful military services, and private worth, but likewise to stimulate young Indian soldiers to follow his great example. - The Cammittee direct me to add, that they are in duced to hope the Hon. Court of Directors will be pleased to grant some pecuniary assistance in support of this prize, and they therefore earnestly solicit your per sonal interest in obtaining this aid. They further request me to beg that you will co-operate with the Hon. the Court of Directors, and the gentlemen named, in carry ing ou; (in the spirit of the resolutions herewith sent), the other important objects which the subscribers to the Pollock medal and prize have in view.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient servant, " A. ROGERS, lion. Secretary. " Sir Peter Laurie." Copy of resolutions passed at a meeting of the Com mittee of the Pollock Prize Fund, held at the Town Hall, on the 18th February, 1847: " 1. That the followipg gentlemen be invited to form themselves into a committee in England to carry into effect the fourth resolution passed at the public meeting held in honour of Sir George Pollock, at the Town Hall, and other business connected with the same, with power to add to their numbers:—General M'Leod, Col. Young, E. M. Got don, Esq., Brigadier Frith, Colonel Irv " ing, Henry Moore, Esq., and Sir Peter Laurie. 2. That the subscribers to the Pollock medal and prize be requested to meet at the Town-hall, at lour o'clock, to-morrow, the 19th inst., and proceed to wait upon Sir George Pollock previous to his departure, and request him to co-operate with the committee appointed in England to carry into effect the fourth re solution passed at the public meeting of the inhabitants of Calcutta. "The SECRETARY stated that he had waited upon Sir George Pollock that morning, and suggested the course proposed in the above resolution was likely to be adopted by the committee, and that Sir George requested him, if such a compliment was proposed, to offer his grateful acknowledgments for the honour intended him, and beg the committee to adopt some other less public means of conveying their sentiments and wishes towards him. He said that neither his health nor the state of his spirits would enable him to meet the subscribers as ho could desire, nor as his feelings would dictate, on this occasion. "On this explanation being given, an amendment, No. 3, was proposed and carried. " 3. That as the state of Sir George Pollock's health will not permit him to receive the subscribers to the Poi lockhmedal and prize, Colonel Forbes, Captain Rogers, and the honorary Secretary be requested to wait u p on [ him with a copy of these resolutions, and request hi s co -o 4 p . e r T a thi That tn the w h e i t h u t o h n e o committee e i Court England. of Directors be respectfully solicited to become trustees of the Pollock Prize Fund, and to add to its importance by affording it pecuniary aid, and by presenting the • prize annually at Addiicombe. "5. That the balance in hand, and amounts as realised, be invested in the new Five per Cent. Loan, and held accumulating at interest until the pleasure of the Court is known, and the arrangements of the London committee are completed. " 6. That a copy of these resolutions be given to Sir George Pollock by a deputation of the committee. (Signed) "W. N. FORBES, Chairman. " Town-hall, Feb. 18, 1847." Sir George Pollock will, we understand, be present at the next Court of Common Council, to receive the free dom of the city, voted to him some time ago amidst acclamations. TURKISH JUDGE/IN A "FIX. 7/ - The Stambol effendesay (may6r or first magistra of the city), a great admirer of badem halvassy ' mond cake), being desirous one day to procure a more where with to enliven the tedium of the judgment hall, reined in his fat grey palfrey, on the road from his own konak (mansion) to the court, and ordered an attendant to purchase fifty drachms of this favourite dainty. From the necessity of employinc , his mouth in expound. ing the law, th e venerable effendyr did not taste his pur chase until a few minutes before he was called upon to pronounce judgment in a complicated case. This was more difficult, however, than the judge anticipated. In vain he cleared his voice, and attempted to open his mouth. The adhesive halve had united the upper and lower teeth as fast as if they had been cemented with khorassan. This was extremely perplexing for the halve was obdurate, and the effendy's teeth were loose.At ler g'th, by grasping his beard in his right hand, and tossing back his head, the judge succeeded in liberating his imP ri'. soned jaws. But the result was fatal t o hi mself and to the manufacturer of this novel denti-tug. The dilapi dated teeth of the upper jaw had entered into an indissoluble bond of union with those below. In a word, the venerable mollah had not a tooth left in the upper alveoli ; they were firmly embedded in the subjacent glutinous mixture. To clear the court, to mumble a dozen oaths, most uncomplimentary to the halvajee's mother, and to order the culprit to be dragged before him, with all the goods in his shop, were the affairs of a moment. The order was no sooner complied with, and the halvajee brought into the presence of the irritated magistrate, than the latter beckoned him forward, and ex claimed, as loud as his sufferings would permit, " Oh, you law-breaker, how dare you exercise other men's callings without a license? Where is your dentist's permit?" " Allah ! Allah !lam a dealer in sweets! By the soul and grave of Omar Hayek', I exercise no other calling," replied the trembling shop man. " You are a liar—a most unblushing liar?" ex claimed the mollah; "do you think the sultan's subjects are to devour dirt, that you may fatten? You exceed ing impostor! You are worse than a Muscoviteunbeliever. Look! there is your badem halvassy, and there are my • teeth. What does the pezevenk say to that?" "By the effendi's head and beard," replied the other, " the halva is worthy of paradise. Wai wai ! What else can I say ?" " What blasphemy and perjury is this ?" re torted the mayor, wincing with Tam. " Oh, you bad man ! it is only fit for devils and Persians. How long have you employed glue instead of honey? Allah alone knows how many hcnest men's jaws have been mutilated through your infamy." Then, directing the culprit's mouth to be opened, and, finding his teeth also were net over-soundly established in their sockets, the mollah continued, "Now, you purveyor of hes and filth—now we will see what your mixture can effect. Chew some of that almond devilry, I say firmly." Then as the trem bling offender obeyed, he added, " Bite, in Allah's name! Bite harder, harder—bite as if your teeth were grind stones and your drug soft paste." There was no resisting these orders, especially as one of the cavass kindly aided the process of mastication, by applying his hand to the halvajee's chin. In a short time, therefore, the worthy Mayor of Stambol had the consolation to see the hal vaj 'ee reduced to the same dilemma as himself ; two loose teeth remained imbedded in the composition, which had, in fact, been mixed with some strong glutinous substance. Seeing this, the mollah smiled with grim satisfaction. Then, having gazed a while at his fellow victim, he exclaimed, " There, you unblushing rogue I You poacher upon other men's trades ! There are the proofs ! We will teach you to act dentist without a license." Then, turtling to the cavasses, he added, "Let him eat stick—one hundred on the soles of his feet, and let all the satan's filth be cast away."— W'hite's Three Years in Constantinople. A WEALTHY AND EXTENSIVE FARMER OF WILTSHIRE. Near to the town of Mere, in this county, we were struck at beholding the fine crops, the excellent order the fields appeared to be in, the low neat cut hedges or fences, and the immense quantity of oxen, cows, and sheep grazing in the meadows ; and this led to an inquiry to whom those rich, broad fields belonged. To Sir. H. R. Hoare, the rich bunker of Fleet-street, London was the ready reply, whose seat is about three miles from Mere, and seven miles from Wincanton, who himself has the fol lowing seven farms in his own hands :—Atrton, Knoyle, Colcat, Hill Grounds, Brenham Lodge, Top Lane, and Search Farm ; altogether containing between three and four thousand acres of land, once so poor and considered so unproductive that every farmer of the old school failed in getting their living from the farms they occu pied; hence Mr. Hoare one after the other was driven to make the best of such land, or suffer it to be still less useful if overrun with weeds. He therefore hired farm bailiffs, purchased horses, and every necessary implement of husbandry ; employed at least 150 labourers, keeping between seventy and eighty horses, giving constant work to woodmen, carpenters, bricklayers, thus more than 200 men through him have constant employment, winter and summer, wet or dry, at good wages; the lowest amount paid to labourers is 12s. per week, some having 21s. at the present time; no reduction in the cold and short days. His cottages are let to his labourers at from 30s. to 40s. per annum, with large gardens, right of common or pas turage, enabling some to keep a cow or two, and in the winter fatten two or three pigs. Mr. Foare himself has as many cows in milk at one time as yields him twice each week fourteen to sixteen dozen pounds of good butter, has seventy calves weaning and fattening at one time, and in the winter at least fifty beasts staled; when fat they are sold generally to beast dealers in the neighbourhood, some of these beasts frequently reaching the enormous weight of from sixty to eighty score pounds each. About me-third only-is --grazing land, ,he has never less than 1,000 sheep and 500 ewes for breeding, of the pure South-down breed ; nearly 1,000 acres of this very land was never considered to be worth more than one shilling per acre for rent per annum. When Mr. Hoare had it first in his possession, the occupiers then thinking three to four sacks per acre of wheat a good field, now by cu lti va ti on , d ra i n i ng , and manuring, it would let for 30s. an acre. Five hundred acres of wheat grown last year on this very land pro ducing on an average from ten to eleven sacks per acre. This gentleman lets off a large bre a dth o f l an d to f armers in the neighbourhood, giving every encouragement and assistance to those who will follow in his plans, by lend ing them money, finding drain tiles, and rendering every assistance they may reasonably ask, and even more than they expect ; not raising the rent as extra management leads some to adopt, but granting lung leases at the olden low terms to induce those under him to persevere; those not blinded to prejudice soon do well, the self willed and ignorant are soon compelled to leave. A short time ago he discharged one of his stewards who neglected carrying out the plans and orders he had laid down. This worthy gentleman has also a con siderable estate near Towcester, Northamptonshire, known there as Sillingstone Hall, with nearly 1,000 acres of fine land ; this is cultivated in a similar manner, yet more regard is paid here to his hunting, carriage, and riding nags ; this he designates the sporting box, where in the winter he exchanges hi scenes of London life into those of the coantry. recruit ing his strength and energies by strong and excitin amusements. Mr. Hoare also has another delightful dwelling and retreat called Burnham Grove, near Mai. denhead, four miles from Windsor, and about the same distance from Slough, and twenty-five miles from Lon don, thus this rich man of the metropolis can vary the scene of his life in the spring and chief part of the sum- Imer visit, his Wiltshire farms, in the autumn and winter get within an easy distance of town to enjoy the plea sures of either shooting or hunting.— Hampshire Ad vez tiser. THE NEW LANDING STAGE.—This great conve nience is now open to the public. Its opening was de-, layed in consequence of the communication with the ' shore being incomplete ; but a connexion having been established, the steamers commenced to use it yes terday, and the public have free access to it. It has already endured a strong inshore wind ; and while the Dublin and other steamers were making tremen dous plunges in the sea-way, it was difficult to per ceive the slightest motion in the landing -stage. The plan adopted appears to meet mu c h f avour t rom t h e public. Many strange things are said a b ou t it b y specta tors; for instance, some think it would make a good cabbage garden; others think it less than the Great Britain; while there are to be found several who say it is as big as the Isle of Man. It would certainly make a good garden, for its area is nearly an acre, and while we have little to support the comparison with the Isle of Man, we may compare it with the Great Britain —the steamer being 3,000 tons, carpenter's measure ment, and the stage 16,000 tons. The boats perthitted to use the stage are those which ply to Runcorn, East ham Rock Ferry, and Birkenhead. The -Woodside and other a b t otahtes broad using s tl t i e e ps G u e n o t r i g i c i dges are. passen gersfixed. It is arranged for the convenience of the public, George's Pier e ta n k t e br i that persons going on the stage shall use the bridge at the north end; while those who come on shore are to use that at the south.—Liverpool Courier. FATAL OCCURRENCE.—On the evening of Monday last, two men, named Clarke and Connor, belonging to Elder lie, near Paisley, agreed to decide a quarrel, by fighting each other in a field a short distance from their houses. When engaged in the fight, Clarke fell, and on his being lifted, it was ascertained that he was dead, his neck having been dislocated. Conner immediately absconded, and has not yet been apprehended.—North British Mail. EXTRAORDINARY OCCURRENCE.--The office of in spector of corn returns for the week ending last Saturday was for once a sinecure, not a bushel of any kind of grain having been returned as sold during the week; a circum stance which we should think is unprecedented iu the an nals of our market.— Worcester Chronicle. ORDINATION OF MR. NEWMAN.---MT. Newman was ordained subdeacon and deacon at Rome in Whitsun week, and on Trinity Sunday received the priesthood at the hands of Cardinal Frausone in the church of the Propa ganda. WORTH TRYING .—A Pittsburgh paper states that a field of potatoes was wh oll y destroyed by the rot, but was permitted to lie over to this season without culture, and it was discovered to ha ve p roduced a fine cro p of p otatoes, without l; symptom of disease. _Let this fact b e l oo k e d into.— .a ze P ORTUG UESE PRODUCE.—The arrival of a vessel f rom Portugal, laden , with one exception, entirely with arti cles of food, is a novelty and a circumstance which was for merly of rare occurrence if it ever took place. Ore has re cently arrived, having 481 bags of beans, 29 barrels of eggs, 117 boxes of onions, 21 barrels and 30 casks of potatoes, awl 25 casks of beef, the produce of that country. The vessel alluded to arrived at the port of Liverpool from Lisbon, and the cargo, especially the animal portion of it, possesses several features of interest. PITT THE POOR PRISONERS. —In consequence of the success of the Pentonville Model Prison, the "separate system " is to receive an important extension in West minster.
