RATHER DOUBTFUL !—At the in at Greta bridge, kept by Mr. Atkinson, may be seen, pendant from a hat peg. the identical wooden bowl and spoon used at Dotheboys Hall, for the purpose of containing and doling out the treacle-and brimstone to the young tyros, as described by the inimitable " Boz" in his Nickolas Nickleby. THE ORCHARDS.—Herefordshire has now assumed its most beautiful appearance. The " blow" in the orchards is very abundant, and sheets of blossom every where meet the eye, giving that delightful aspect to the landscape which is nowhere else to be met with ; if but one half of the blossom stands, the crops will be very abundant.— Worcester Journal. THE MINISTRY.—A gentleman, meeting the Duke of Wellington after the late disgraceful discomfiture experienced by the ministers, accosted him thus :—Well, your grace, the ministers will surely go out after this division;" to which the duke promptly rejoined, " Not at all ; they will never go out till driven out by a division of police." By the Alert packet the advices from Rio Janeiro come to the 14th of March. In the Journal do Commercio, of the Bth of that month, there are some interesting returns of the public revenue. They show that the import duties of Rio had considerably increased. In the year 1836 they amounted to 4,200 contos of reis, and in 1840 reached upwards of 6,930 contos, thus showing an increase of 63 per cent. The export duties amounted in 1836 to 1,255 contos of reis, and in 1840 to 1,900 contos, showing an increase of 52 per cent. CHURCH MISSIONARY SOCIETY.—On Tuesday the an nual meeting of this society took place in Exeter Hall, Lon don, at which the Right Hon. the Earl of Chichester pre sided. Amongst the noblemen and gentlemen on the plat form were—Lord Viscount Sandon, Lord Glenelg, the Bishop of Winchester, the Bishop of Chester, Mr. Plumptre. M.P., Sir G. Rose, and a large number of clergymen. The hall was completely filled. At six o'clock in the evening another large meeting of this zociety was held at the above-mentioned place, on which occasion the Marquis of Cholmondeley was voted to the chair, when numerous speeches were made in support of other resolutions, and the proceedings did not ter minate till nearly 10 o'clock. THREE BROTHERS AND A SISTER DROWNED.—WICK, APRIL 30.—We have seen a letter dated Lochinver, Suther land, 27th instant, addressed to a gentleman of this place (Wick), from which the following is an extract :—" A boat loaded with sea weed, on board of which there were three brothers and their sister, of the name of McKenzie, as also a young man named Matheson, was upset on the evening of Saturday last, the 21th inst., when crossing from the south to the north side of Lochinver. a distance of not more than a mile. The accident was seen from the shore, and a crew im- mediately put off in order to render them assistance, but un fortunately, before they arrived at the scene of the sad catas trophe, the boat and those in her had sunk. None of the bodies have as yet been found."—Wick paper. THE GREAT BEGGAR OF THE AGE.—Of all men under the sun, Daniel O'Connell is the person who ought to make his allusions to mendicity the most delicate. Is he not the leading mendicant of Britain—the prince of beggarmen, whose wallets are open to all accessions, from a potato to a pound sterling—who lives by begging, speaks for begging, agitates for begging, bullies, blarneys, and blasphemes for begging—to whom begginc , is air eloquence, life, hope—all ? Does this man accommodate his mouth to mention spoils, and peculation and plunder, presumed to be perpetrated by tones ? Daniel O'Connell, and none else, could have mus tered impudence to do so. This, in fact, is one striking cha racteristic of a depraved and ruined character—that such can steal, and yet preach homilies against theft ; murder, and harangue, about the Rathcormic slaughter ; rob the poor, and weep over their oppressions ; cry, " Liberty for ever !" and the meanwhile add another rivet.—Fraser's Magazine. DREADFUL FIRE IN LONDON—TWO LIVES LOST." On Tuesday morning, at about ten minutes after twelve o'clock, the inhabitants of the eastern part of London were thrown into the most painful excitement iu consequence of a fire of a terrible description, and involving a lamentable sa crifice of human life, breaking out in Church-lane, White chapel,. adjacent to the church. The circumstances con nected with the unfortunate calamity are most deplorable, and occasioned throughout the whole day the deepest interest in the neighbourhood. The premises in which the fire com menced were situate on the west side of Church-lane, and comprised a brick building three stories high, containing a shop at the basement, and five rooms above. They were occupied by Mr. Abraham Berlyn, slipper-maker and dealer in marine stores, who let a portion of the first and second floor to a middle-aged female named Wheller, whose chil- Idren (two boys, one 16 years of age, and the other 8 ) perished in the flames. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN LONDON.—OR Friday night, a few minutes before nine o'clock, a fire broke out iii . the lower part of the St. George's Hotel, Albemarle-street. The in mates had barely time to escape from the premises ere the flames gained a great ascendancy, and, extending to the rear, caught to the house in Dover-stret, which formed a part of the hotel. In a short time, several engines belonging to the first brigade establishment were on the spot, and, there being . . . a plentiful supply of water, they were immediately put into requisition. About ten o'clock the roofs of both houses fell in with a loud crash, and then, the flames having flee vent, the sky was illumined for miles round. Happily the fire was confined to the hotel, and at eleven o'clock the flames were so far got under as to allay all fear of other houses being in cluded in the conflagragation. Thousands of persons as sembled to witness the scene, amongst the most active of whom were the light-fingered gentry, many of whom, how ever, were taken into custody. The house was furnished in the most costly style, and property to the amount of some thou sands of pounds has been destroyed. It is supposed that the fire originated in the kitchen; but in what way, of course, in the confusion and alarm that ensued, it has been impossi ble to ascertain. Mr. Stewart, the proprietor of the hotel, is insured. The loss of property occasioned by this dreadful occurrence may be estimated at about £lO,OOO. A YOUTH SHOT BY HIS FATHER!—For a long time past depredations of an extensive nature have been committed in the gardens of Mr. Cooke, of Weston, near Bath, to the perpetrators of which no clue could be obtained. On Mon day night, Mr. C. was alarmed on hearing some one on his premises, and he accordingly got up, and, armed with a loaded gun, proceeded to scour the gardens in search of the untimely intruders. After a brief search he observed some one making off from the cucumber frames. He shouted " Stop," but the trespasser did not heed the cry, and Mr. Cooke accordingly levelled . his gun and fired. The object immediately dropped, and on Mr. Cooke seizing him, he was shocked at beholding his own son ! It is necessary to state that this unfortunate youth is one of the worst description of characters, having been more than once placed at the bar for offences of a very serious nature ; and there is too much rea son to fear that through him the robberies in his father's gar den have been effected. It is a melancholy circumstance, but the youth has become so utterly incorrigible as to repel all sympathy in his behalf. On examining his person at the tation-house, the charge of the gun was found to have struck his neck and shoulders, though not to any dangerous extent. He was taken before the magistrates, at Chandos-house, on the following day, but the unhappy ather declining to appear against him, he was discharged with a severe admonition. BURGLARY WITH VIOLENCE.—A daring outrage was per petrated on Monday last at the residence of a farmer, named Bayman, residing near Tring, on the borders of Herts, in the county of Bucks. Mr. Bayman and his family retired to rest at their usual hour, and about one o'clock on the Tues day morning they were alarmed by a noise as of some person being in the house, and immediately afterwards three men, with their faces blackened, rushed into Mr. Bayman's bed room. He jumped out of bed, when the first man, who had a candle in one hand and a pistol in the other, pointed the pistol at him, and threatened to blow his brains out if he did not be quiet and give up his money. They then forced him on the bed, and, with the most dreadful oaths, declared they would murder him if he did not give them money. Mr. Bayman, finding resistance to be hopeless, gave the villains ten sovereigns and some silver; and one of them then stood guard over him, while the two others proceeded to the bed room of Miss Bayman, the daughter of Mr. Bayman, of whom they demanded money, and, upon her telling them she had not got any, they used most horrible imprecations, and broke open every box and drawer in the room in the expec tation of finding some money. The ruffians then proceeded to the lower part of the premises, and for nearly two hours they were employed in ransacking the house, and when they had packed up a quantity of valuable property, consisting of wearing apparel, silver spoons, watches, &c., they again went to the bed-room of Mr. Bayman, and one of the men produced his gun,'and loaded it in his presence, and told him that they would fire it off as a signal when they had left the premises ; and they told him that if he went down stairs, or gave any alarm before the morning, they would return and murder him. The villains then decamped. Three men were afterwards taken into custody for the robbery—and gfter a long investigation were committed for trial. TREMENDOUS HURRICANE. — On Saturday morning last it blew a dreadful hurricane from about six o'clock. At one o'clock it was at its height, and slates, chimneys, &c. were falling in all directions. A great part of the beautiful new church of this town, the walls of which were nearly finished, was blown down. For some minutes before the building gave way, it struggled with the storm, to the admiration and astonishment of many persons who witnessed it ' • at length the side-wall came down with a tremendous crash, in a solid piece. Never was a liner piece of mason-work seen ; it was ornamental, and would be permanent had it got time to take bond. The building would have been roofed in the course of the ensuing month. Several large trees were blown down throughout the county ; many cabins were razed to the ground, and larger houses unroofed. We have not beard of any loss of life. At six o'clock in the evening the hurricane having wasted its fury, the weather moderated, and has since become mild and warm.—Ballyshannon Herald. DISTRESSING ACCIDENT AT GREENOCK. — ?Monday noon. —A most distressing accident, attended with loss of life, has just occurred here, at the large cotton-mill on the Shaws water. As Mr. Ludovic Grant, the excellent manager of the work, was showing the great wheel, and interior of the the wheel-house, to Mr. Muir, of the saw-mill, Glasgow. they observed two small pieces of stone falling from the upper part of the wall, and while stooping to lift them, the whole eastern side wall of the wheel-house gave way, and buried the party, together with about half a dozen of the workmen, in the ruins. At first it was believed that the whole would have been killed, but \Mr. Muir escaped in a most miraculous manner, as did several of the workmen, leaving Mr. Grant and two masons covered with the rubbish. After the lapse of an hour or more, the lifeless corpse of Mr. Grant, together with one of the workmen, were dug out dreadfully disfigured. The third was taken out all but dead, and three of the others were severely injured, but not dan gerously. The event, which has not yet been properly ac counted for, has thrown a deep gloom been e whole com munity, as all were interested in the welfare and prosperity of the work. Mr. Grant and his friends had not been five minutes in the wheel-house when the accident happened. RUIN FOR IRELANp.—REPEAL OF THE CORN LAWS. It was announced by Lord John Russell, on Friday night, that it was his intention to repeal the corn laws, and establish a fixed duty on foreign importation, in place of the price be ing regulated, as heretofore, by a scale depending upon ave rages. The country will be stunned to hear it. Ireland, in particular, may start on hearing the news, as a merchant, whose all is embarked in a single ship, might start to see her suddenly arrested in the course of a prosperous voyage, and drifting broadside on towards the rockiest promontory that breaks the wave of the Atlantic. Every penny we are worth is at stake. If that protection be withdrawn from us, which has hitherto given us a market for our agricultural produce— our only produce—allue have in the world to depend upon —if that protection be withdrawn, and ministers now openly declare themselves prepared to deprive us of it, Ireland will be left as utterly and as irremediably beggared as ever was the uninsured merchant, whose all was embarked in the one ship, and that ship gone to the bottom. Our whole worldly means—all that we possess under the canopy of heaven—do not amount to forty-five millions a-year, and of that more than forty consist in agricultural produce. If ministers re duce the price of that sort of produce twenty-five per cent., it would be ten millions a-year gone to us and our posterity for ever ! They might as well take five-and-twenty per cent. off the income of a day labourer at sixpence a-day. As com pared with the rest of the United Kingdom, we are little bet ter off than such a labourer, compared with one who regu larly ca rlye i aF f ou s t ; musta pound a - wee k. Th e y may be able to bear it ; we We STARVE, inus tbr if ministerseak,thebes succeedtofu in s—many,very many stripping us of the protection of the corn law.—Dublin Evening Mail. Lord 'Warsley, one of the members for the county of Lir►. coin, is understood to have withdrawn his support from ministers in consequence of their determination to attempt a repeal of the present corn-laws. - - It is generally expected that the division on Lord Saudon's motion, will not take place until Tuesday night, or rather Wednesday morning. The report gains ground that minis ters will resign if beaten. An extraordinary degree of bustle and activity prevails at all the public offices.—Standard. A MOST AUDACIOUS BURGLARY.-011 Sunday afternoon last, when the family were at church, the parsonage at New ton Heath, the residence of the Rev. W. Hutchinson, was entered, at the kitchen window, by one or more depredators, and in the short space of about one hour, the whole of the dwelling, from top to bottom, was ransacked by thieves. As many as ten rooms were closely examined, every box and drawer, secured by lock, was broken open ; even the ser vants' attic was plundered of two half-crowns, found in a purse. The thieves decamped with booty to the amount of upwards of £4O, consisting of silver plate only, together with a piece of cold roast beef. Several suspicious charac ters were seen lurking about during the day, and some of the rev. gentleman's parishioners have expressed their ability to identify the parties, should they prove to be implicated in the robbery.—Manchester Courier. MRS. FRY.—Her Majesty the Queen some time since sent for Mrs. Fry, and intimated her intention to patronise the exertions of that lady and her benevolent colleagues in their laudable endeavours to reclaim and restore to society unfor tunate females, who by destitution and want have been driven to the commission of crime, and by penitence in prison given evidence of a sincere desire to return to the pursuits of in dustry and honesty. The Marquis of Normanby sivnitied his readiness to preside at a dinner of the gentlemen who second the efforts of the ladies' committee conducting Manor Hall Asylum, and the sth of May at the Loudon Coffee House is selected for that purpose, upon which occasion a large party will assemble of gentlemen of wealth and influ ence, without distinction of party, sect, or denomination. Nottingham is not a strange and outlandish place, afford ing no clue to the feelings of the people of England. Will any man be so weak as to suppose, that the power which has broken in that borough a yoke which had been quietly borne for more than 30 years—will any man imagine that the same spell would be powerless in Halifax, in Bradford, hi Leices ter, in Sheffield—in fact, in an hundred other places that might be named ? And is not this a point worth considering ; nay, is it not a point that must be considered ? Is not a dis solution, in the present state of affairs, at all times just• in sight ? Think of this, gentlemen representatives, whether on the one side of the house or on the other; and turn your thoughts, while there is yet time, to the removal of the de formities of this detested law.—Times. THE PRINTER.—" I pity the printer," said my uncle Toby " He's a poor creature," rejoined Trim. " How so ?" said my uncle. " Because, in the first place," continued the Corporal, looking full upon my uncle, " because he must en deavour to please everybody. In the negligence of a mo ment, perhaps a small paragraph pops upon him; be hastily throws it to the compositor, it is inserted, and he is ruined to all intents and purposes." "Too much the case, Trim," said my uncle, with a deep sigh ; g , too—much—the—case." " An' please your honour," continued Trim, elevating his voice, and striking into an imploring attitude, "an' please your honour, this is not the whole." "Go on, Trim," said my uncle feelingly. " The printer, sometimes." pursued the Corporal, " hits upon a piece that pleases him mightily, and he thinks it cannot but go down with his subscribers ; but, alas ! who can calculate the human mind ? He inserts it and it is all over with him. They forgive others, but they cannot forgive a printer. He has a host to print for, and every one sets up for a critic. The pretty miss exclaims, `Why don't he give us more poetry, marriages, and bon mots ?—away with these stale pieces.' The politician claps his specs on his nose, and runs it over in search of a violent invective : he finds none; he takes his specs off, folds them, sticks them in his pocket, declaring the paper good fornothing but to burn. So it goes. Every one thinks it ought to be printed expresily for himself, as he is a subscriber ; and yet, after all this complaining, would you believe it, sir," said the honest Corporal, clapping his hands beseechingly, " would you believe it, sir, there are some subscribers who do not hesitate to cheat the printer out of his pay ! Our army swore terribly in Flanders, but they never did anything so bad as that !" " Never !" said my uncle Toby, emphatically. On Thursday a most melancholy and fatal accident took place at the new Cotton Mill on the Shows Water. The public spirited managing partner , of the establishment, Mr. Grant, had been showinc , the immense wheel to the Messrs. Muir, of the Saw-mill, Glasgow, and they were just about leaving the wheel-house when two stones fell from near the top of the eastern wall. Mr. Grant ran forward to get the stones out of the way of the wheel, when nearly the whole wall fell, mostly outside, but a portion of it fell inwards, and a large stone struck Mr. Grant on the head with such force that he was killed instantaneously. That part of the wall that fell outside, alighted ou the roof of a cotton store, which it forced in, and killed a mason named M`Leod, and injured two or three others. —Glasgow Mail. OPENING OF ST. THOMAS'S CHURCH.—DINNER TO MR. GLADSTONE. — On Thursday, the Church of St. Thomas, Leith, erected and endowed by Mr. Gladstone of Fasque, was opened for public worship, when Mr. M`Letchie, late of Gartsherrie, Presbytery of Hamilton, was inducted into the parochial charge,—the Rev. Mr. Wood of New Greyfriars' preaching and presiding. The church was crowded during the service with a most respectable and attentive audience, and the deepest interest appeared to be manifested in the prosperity of the new church. In the evening, a dinner was given in the Exchange Hotel to Mr. Gladstone, by the citi zens of Leith, as a mark of their respect for this instance of his munificence to his native town.—Glasgow Mail. ORIGIN OF SUNDAY ScHooLs.—The vexed question " Stock v. Raikes" has been revived in a correspondence that has taken place in the Midland Counties Herald. The Rev. H. Wintle, of this city, in a letter to that paper, spoke of the late Rev. Thomas Stock, rector of St. John's, as the originator of the system ;—this has produced a long letter from Mr. Thomas Clark, of Birmingham, in which the claims of Mr. Raikes are set forth. The dispute has since called forth an advocate for the pretensions of a new claimant —the Rev.lW.:H.:Havergalgtector of Astley—who states, it will be seen in the following letter, that a Miss Ball, of High Wycombe, was the first person who established a Sunday school :—" Whatever," he says, " be the issue of the ques tion, so far as Mr. Stock and Mr. Raikes are concerned, there is a town which can show that a Sunday school was es tablished in it full fourteen years prior to the formation of the school or schools at Gloucester. In the year 1769 a Sunday school was commenced by Miss Ball, at High Wy combe. She was a lady of great piety, and of rather uncom mon earnestness in doing good. Her custom was to assem ble as many as thirty or forty children on Sunday morning, to hear them read the Scriptures, and repeat the catechism and the collect, preparatory to going to church. A place is still pointed out in the remarkably fine church of High Wy combe, as having been occupied by the Sunday scholars of Miss Ball. An old servant, who when young was my nurse, was one of those scholars, and still lives, in conjunction with sundry individuals, to bear testimony to the facts which I have stated. In a Memoir of Miss Hannah Ball,' recently ' revised by John Parker, gent., and published by Mason, 15, City-road,' it is further stated that Miss Ball continued this school for many years ; and also met the children every Monday to instruct them in the principles of Christianity.' " GIPSIES.—CONFESSION OF MITCHELL THE MUR DERER.—MitcheII who was convicted of the murder of Mr. George Blackburn, at the last York assizes, has written an account of his life, from which we give the following ex tracts :—" lam seventeen years of age. On the day before I was twelve years old, 1 met with a man who was a gipsy. I went with him to a public-house, where I got so drunk, that the gipsy had to take me away. I fell fast asleep, and found myself in bed next morning under a camp in a lane. After describing the various means to which gipsies have re course in order to plunder the public, Mitchell states that he spent two years with them, picking pockets and stealing everything he could lay his hands upon ' • killing fowls, and in short committing plunder in any way that opportunity of fered. All that he received for this was his actual support among them, and according to his activity and service. As to clothing, he was fitted out just like all the rest and upon the same terms, with the cloth that they used to steal from the cloth hawkers in country towns. So it was with their blankets, and everything else in the way of clothing or cover ing. In the summer time the men will stop at a public house or at a most respectable inn in a town, for they were well dressed, and would pass for respectable footmen, ser vants, chaise boys out of place, or various other businesses, which made the people not suspect them. These houses they invariably robbed of everything they could lay their hands upon, and if met by the inmates next day they never would know him. In the winter we all camped together, and the men and myself went out prowling about night long. These gipsies used to make the sale of pots and glasses a pre text for picking pockets, and it was no uncommon thing for one of the women to be engaged in telling a young lady or gentleman their fortune, while myself or some of the men who were dressed up stood by waiting to have ours told, but we were picking the pockets of the young people. I mean to say that there is not in the world such desperate people as a gang of gipsies. I am sure they think nothing of killing any man, or stealing any gentleman's child. Servant girls should be cautioned against them, as from them we used to learn all the ways of the houses in the neighbourhood. Some of those robberies, particularly those which I assisted the gip sies in committing, were accompanied with the greatest vio lence. I don't know for a positive fact that death followed in any case, although we have frequently left our victims dreadfully stabbed, beaten, and abused, and as we thought dead on the road of a winter's night and never heard of them again. KORRIBLE ATROCITY.—" About twelve years ago," says the Nouvelllste des Ardennes, " the daughter of a farmer in the arrondissement of Mezieres, was married to a young man of a neighbouring village. After a few months, the wife was attacked with symptoms of mental alienation, which in a little time assumed all the character of confirmed madness. The husband took her back to her father, conceiving that in his hands there would be a greater chance of her recovery. The father received her, but soon finding the charge too onerous, contrived the following means of disposing of her : He privately constructed a species of case formed of four planks, between seven and eight feet long, leaving one of the extremities open, and fixed it upright in his stable. Having enticed the poor creature to place herself in it, he closed the case up, and there left her standing, utterly precluded from escape. He daily supplied her with food, letting it down from the top, she having just room enough in the angles of ber narrow prison to raise her hand and carry it to her mouth. Of course she was kept constantly standing on her legs, without the possibility of changing her position. Thus was she confined for a period of nearly twelve years, till a short time ago, when she was discovered and released. When taken out she had lost full a foot in her height, and her ap pearance was more that of some nondescript animal than of a woman. She had no speech, but uttered inarticulate sounds borrowed from the cattle whose voices alone she had beard during the whole period. A judicial inquiry is making into the case." The details of the case are so strange and unna tural that we cannot suppose them to be true. The following unusual incident occurred in the Court of Assizes for the Aril6ge, at Foix, on the 29th ult. Two men w ere upon their trial for an act of incendiarism, and a wit ness gave evidence that weighed heavily a ga i n st one of them. The president read over his testimony, and called upon him to declare whether what he had deposed was true and correct. The witness replied, `• I have told the truth, and nothing but the truth ;" and then related that, on the preceding evening, after the first day's trial, this being the second, he was sc.! costed by a person the unknown to him, and ur g ed t o s oft en t h e evidence he was to give, as the prisoner whom it con cerned, was not only young and excuseable, but had a wife and child, who would be left destitute if the man was con victed. This person added, that such forbearance would give pleasure to the jury, of whom he was one . Th e witness had replied to this overture, that it was the duty of every man to speak the truth—that he, the witness, would be sworn to tell the whole truth—and, th ere f ore , cou ld no t conceal any part of it. In conclusio n , h e t urne d to t h e jury-box, and poi nte d out a juryman as the per son w h o ]h a d made the attemp t to induce him to suppress the s t rong par t j of his testimony . The uryman thus indicated made gestures as if to some other person in the court, but gave no denial to the charge against him. The judges retired to deliberate on this unprecedented occurrence, and during their absence the audience was greatly agitated. When the jud ges resume d their oie s wt e o a i t t mn s e , as t ks h requi s ition upon it. This offi cer o f t h e crown moved that the p roceedings should be quashed, and the trial postponed till next assizes. The counse l for the prisoners having raised no objection, the court delive re d i ts judgment, in conformity with the motion of the procareur du roi, andirected e'esy deposition,orderedhis and then registrar to make f u ll minutes called on th e procnreur d the regi d the registrar to give act of the judgment, upon which might be fou nded proceedings against the delin quent juryman for the costs occasioned by the postponement. NEWCASTLE AND CARLISLE KATI meeting was be before Parliam -.300,000, to construct branch lines, and enlarge the stations. The resolutions were unanimously adopted, and the meeting separated, expressing their gratification at the continued im provement of the company's affairs. MARYPORT AND CARLISLE RAILWAY. — The money for the formation of this line, we learn from the Whitehaven Herald, at the eastern end, has been advanced with great promptitude, and in their next they expect to publish the letting of the contracts for the construction of the railway from Carlisle to Wigton. Sxx* —The York- lELD AND MANCHESTER RAILWAY shire Gazette s. eat pleasure in announcing iceeding very favourably, and that the Able to open the line eight miles out of Manchester in the first week of September in this year. The carriages and engines are contracted for to be on the line by the first of September, so that the active working of this important line may be confidently relied on." BRIGHTON RAILWAY.—We may remind our readers that it has been decided by the directors of the London and Brighton Railway to open 20 miles of that line from London to Hayward 's-heath, in June. The whole work will be com pleted and opened to the public in August. RAILWAY CHASE EXTRAORDINARY.—On Thursday last, a person named George Comley (having with him his wife and six children) took places for himself and family by the eleven o'clock railway train from Gloucester to Birmingham. Soon after the train bad started, Mr. W. Gillman, of North Nibley, arrived at the station-house, in the hope of inter cepting Mr. Comley, who, he stated, had executed a forgery upon him to the amount of £40., and had also committed other fraudulent delinquencies, and was then en route for Liverpool, where it was understood he had engaged a passage for America. After a short consultation with Mr. Walker, police superintendent, on the best steps to he adopted, a pur suit was resolved upon, and for a payment of £lO. an engine was immediately got ready, with which Mr. Gillman and Mr. Walker started, at high pressure speed, in the hope of over taking the train, which by that time had had the advantage of about twenty minutes' start. After a fine chase, they suc ceeded in getting sight of the train at Ashchurch, and fol -'- to the surprise rnation of the fugitive, his pursuers iadly deranged the plans he had so cleverly laid for his'escape. the remainder of his journey to Birmingham was performed in the Company of Mr. Gillman, who on arriving in that town, gave him into the custody of the police on the charge of forgery. On Mr. Walker's return to the Gloucester station, he found that the prisoner's land lord had a little too late sent a distress, in the hope of laying an embargo on his runaway tenant's luggage. It would ap pear that he had been carrying on the business of a clothier at North Nibley, till he suddenly decamped as above stated. Yesterday afternoon he was brought to this city in the cus tody of Mr. Stephens, superintendent of the Birmingham police force, and conveyed before the magistrates of the dis trict where the offences are alleged to have been committed. His wife accompanies him back to Nibley, but his large and nnfortunate family are left behind at Birmingham. ECCLESIASTICAL AND UNIVERSITY INTELIGENCE. (From the Oxford Herald.) PROMOTIONS. Rev.

Beauchamp, C. Copner ; SUGAR DUTIES (From the Times of Friday, May 7.) The course which ministers propose this evening to pursue in favour of slave grown sugar is certainly without a parallel even in the annals of whig infatuation and perfidy. To ex tirpate the practical evils of slavery, the people of this coun try consented, at the instigation of the whigs, to make the enormous sacrifice of twenty millions sterling? and, at . our national finances have become considerably ~ed in consequence of that arrangement, we are b. .y told by those same whigs, that in order to make up the deficit, it is now necessary to ecourage the importation of slave-grown sugar at a suitable duty, and thus to draw from the slave produce of foreign colonies the fiscal resources that may pay for its suppression in our own ! If this be not a lore flagitious instance of the thimble-rig than any they t practised, we must protest that we are wholly igno rant of that elegant and dexterous art. Whether its low chicanery, or its grievous injustice, or its loathsome inconsis tency be the more revolting and reprehensible, it may be dif ficult to say. Of this at least there can be no doubt, that important parties are deliberately insulted and defraud .e proposal—namely, the West India proprietors, the British philanthropists, and the negro race. A few years ago, when, naturally apprehensive of the de preciation and distress which property often sustains from an experimental interference with the economy of labour, the owners of West India estates came forward with great doubts to assent to the premature termination of negro apprentice ship, they did so on a bond fide understanding that every effort which paternal government could make might be con fidently relied on, not only to protect their interest from farther injury, but to give them a gaatifying proof of the much-vaunted theory that free labour is really the most pro fitable to the proprietor. Since that period, contrary to the flattering hopes which were held out by the whigs and eman cipationists, the value of West India property has been stea dily and ruinously declining. The proceeds of many estates in Jamaica, Antigua, Demerara, and liarbadoes, have hardly paid the expense of cultivation. All that remained to sus tain the disheartened proprietors was the hope of a brighter future ; and now, after having generously anticipated the 'shes of their country by spontaneously terminating,.the apprenticeship system, they are to be rewarded only four years afterwards by seeing their free-grown sugars put out of the market by the introduction of the slave produce of fo- reigners. , Then how are the whig ministers keeping faith with the anti-slavery societies, and with that immense proportion of the British community, who having realised their benevolent intentions in our own dominions, are now directing their ef forts against negro bondage in other quarters of the world. It cannot be too strongly impressed on the pnblic mind that the main purpose and inevitable effect of the proposal which the whigs are this evening to bring forward, is to en courage the importation of slave-grown sugars. Now let it be remembered that " at the period when Wilberforce and Clarkson began their philanthopic exertions against the slave trade, and up to the period of its abolition in 1807, the ut most extent of the annual importation of slaves into all the colonies, (English, French, Danish, Dutch, Spanish, and Portuguese) did not exceed 70,000 ; whereas at the present moment, the Spanish and Brazilian possessions alone, whose sugars are now to be relieved from a part of the existing du ties, import annually no fewer than 150,000 slaves !" With these latter States this country has conducted a series of ne gotiations, during a long course of years, with a view to the complete extinction of slavery. The whig government, in particular, has professed to be indefatigably zealous in this Christian enterprise. The anti-slavery societies, the whole community of Quakers, and other dissenting denominations, lye reposed such confidenee in the honest intentions of the :stry, that they have latterly left the matter entirely in own hands ; and when the whigs, on a late occasion, ;ed Prince Albert to preside at the great gathering at Ex ball, they seemed to leave the:philanthropic party no further to desire. What, then, must be the astonish of the country on finding that the wretched impostors isconduct their affairs are now actually proposing to put a bounty upon slavery, by encouraging the importation of its iniquitous produce ? Where are the members of parli ament who will venture to support such an enormity, and yet have the courage to face their dnped and indignant con- stituents It is co ite manifest that the interests of the negro race in ion command little commiseration from her ma jesty s ministers ; but, unless we totally mistake the British character, it will be far otherwise with our countrymen at large. That their sympathies on behalf of suffering humanity will be revived and prosecuted with untiring energy, as well in regard to Spanish and Brazilian colonies as with reference to our own, we cannot for a moment doubt : and as it is no torious that the condition of the negroes in those quarters is infinitely worse than it ever was in any part of the English dominions, we may reasonably infer that the friends of free dom will proportionably exert themselves to resist and defeat whatever may tend to prolong its abominations. As long as the whigs made no overture for encouraging the system, little could be done towards its removal or amelioration: but now when a positive movement is made by them to pro mote and reward negro oppression by opening a market for its produce, it is impossible but that all the nobler virtues of our countrymen must rise up in righteous displeasure to frustrate this guilty attempt, and to consign its authors to to irretrievable infamy. Pray how will Dr. Lushington, Mr. O'Connell, Mr. Pease, and the anti-slavery orators vote upon this occasion? Let the echoes of Exeter-hall give us an honest answer ! ABERYSTWITH—TREMEND OUS THUNDER STORM.—This town and neighbourhood was on Wednesday, the 28th ult., visited with one of the most awful thunder storms that has ever been witnessed by the oldest inhabitants here. It came • • e. on abou ,ar in the alternoon, accompanied with lightning and r 1, and continued with different degrees rees of intensity, n on again, and raged u ntil 1 -hated. At nine, itcame g reatest violence till eleveTpis gust was tremec "The spirit of the storm" was the t e h and th , , er , l i g htning, and rain seemed to vie abroad, ewith each t other, a to which sh ould contribute most to the fu tempest, while n i g ht with her " sable pall" stood over of ver warring elements communicating to the whole a sense of al most unimaginable gloom and sublimity. The effect of the rain was everywhere visible the next morning, particularly on roads where there was a fall, many of which were grooved as if a sub-soil plough had gone through them. We understand that a cottage was carried off by the flood, near Llanrhystyd, while the inmates, with difficulty, saved themselves. Such was the power of the flood at this place, that a cart was fairly carried off by it to the sea. Llanilar bridge was con siderably damaged, and foot-bridges without number were swept off. We have not heard of any lives being lost, ex cept that of a poor woman near Llangeitho, but whether that was occasioned by the flood or the lightning, we have no t been able to aacertalne-Cornsarthen Journal. with thi UONPUL SUGGESTION.—I have seen many a promising and fine young man gradually led to dissipation, gambling, and ruin, merely by the want of means to make a solitary evening pass pleasautly. I earnestly advise any youth who quits that abode of purity, peace and delight, his paternal home, to acquire a taste for reading and writing. At every place where he may reside long, either in England or on the Continent, let him study to make his apartment as attractive and comfortable as possible ; for he will find a little extraor dinary expense, so bestowed at the beginning, to be good economy at the end ; let him read the best books in the lan guage of the place in which he lives ; and above all, let him never retire to rest without writing at least a page of original comments on what he has seed, read, and heard in the day. This habit will teach him to observe Ind discriminate ; for a man ceases to read with a desultory and wandering mind. which is utter waste of time, when he knows that an account of all the information which he has gained must be written at . . night.—Clayton's Sketches. NATIONAL NEGLECT OF RELIGION IN THE COLONIES. — That in past times we have been, as a nation, culpably neg ligent in providing on any plan for the religious wants of our colonies, is but too notorious. The extension of our religion has not even been made an object in the extension of our empire. England, forgetting her position in the world as a Christian State, has acted, in her measures of conquest and even colonization, just as any heathen nation might have done, without any solicitude for the honour of God, without any regard to her own religious responsibility. If at any time she has shown any anxiety on the score of religion, it was exhibited chiefly, if not solely, in a fear of offending the religious prejudices of her new dependents ; and accordingly her cannon have roared assent, and her warriors been sum moned forth to do honour, as in Malta or the West Indies, to the Roman worship, or, as in Corfu, to the Greek; whilst in India she has even mixed herself up with the obscene and bloody rites of the abominable Juggernaut. Such, until within a late period, was the religious—or to use its proper epithet—such was the irreligious, the atheistical policy of this mighty nation ; and to a great extent it is so still. Ashamed of her faith, or afraid of avowing it, or at the best regardless of its holy claims, she has caused the church to veil her glories, not only to forms of Christianity to which she does not assent, but even to the worst pollutions of hea thenism. The furtherance of true religion in her colonies and provinces, or indeed of any religion, excepting as sub sidiary to some worldly end, seems hardly even yet an integral part of her measures. It is true the question of religion has of late years gained more attention ; but the work is not even yet conducted upon any fixed plan or principle, especially by the nation, as such. It is left, on the contrary, almost en tirely to voluntary religious associations to proceed in the matter just as they may feel inclined, whilst the nation looks on for the most part as an unconcerned spectator ; or if she interferes it is too often to hinder rather than assist, by em bracing every opportunity of strengthening its enemies.— Witness, for instance the discontinuance of the giant for the support of the Canadian clergy ; witness again the encou ragement given to Romauism in Australia, as so forcibly ex posed by the Bishop of Exeter in his late well-known charge. —British Critic. THE NEW NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE.--The new property already created by Mr. Grainger's vast conceptions, first formed in 1833, and still in progress of extension, has been valued at £995,000, or nearly one million'sterling. With an immense stock of honesty, punctuality, and plain open deal ing, guided in all his transactions by a fervid imagination and a calm genius, has Mr. Grainger been able to accumu late such a fortune. Towards achieving it, he at first con tributed nothing, or very little of pecuniary means, save perhaps a slender sum of five thousand pounds, the marriage portion of an affectionate, intelligent, and clever wife, who has been indefatigable in aiding and cheering the partner of her life. The general appearance of the streets, with their rich and diversified architecture, is particularly striking to the eye of a stranger, and people find it difficult to express the sensation that pervades the mind on a first inspection. Their great extent, their uniformity and expensive decora tions, even.to the carved work of both houses and shops, all executed in solid stone, of an agreeable and uniform tint, give an idea of magnificence so peculiar and unexpected to those who arrive at Newcastle unprepared for such a scene by anything they have beholden elsewhere in their journey thither, that the mind cannot help being seized with wonder and admiration. These feelings are first awakened at the sight of Grey-street, certainly one of the finest double lines of domestic architecture of rich designs and lofty proportions to be found in Europe. Ascending upon a gentle acclivity from south to north, and with a slight curve which detracts nothing from its beauties, this superb street extends to nearly four hundred yards in length, with an average width of eighty feet. In its architectural decorations it is most elaborate ; and its different sections formed by the intersecting of the cross streets, comprise separate designs, among which one recognises at once the Corinthian order, after the example of the interior of the Pantheon at Rome, with columns twenty five feet high; and by its side, the more chaste imitation of the noblest example of the lonic order, that of the temple of Illysus at Athens ; the columns measuring twenty-two feet in height.—Dr. Granville's English Spas. ST. GEORGE AND BODLEWYDDAN. — Instead of proceed ing onwards to Conway, I bent my steps again towards St. Asaph, leaving that place and the other parts of Carnarvon shire until after I had seen the vales of Clwyd and Llangollen. About three miles from Abergele is the little village of St. George, overlooking the beautiful scenery of the vale, re markable for the sumptuous Gothic mausoleum erected over the vault in which Lady Dinorben was interred ; it is how ever quite out of character with the simple, unornamented church to which it is attached. Leaving St. George, the im posing entrance gateway of Kinmel, the seat of Lord Dinor ben, soon presents itself, the park studded with majestic timber, and herds of deer, some browsing quietly and others scampering in every direction. Kinmel was extended, indeed almost rebuilt, a few years ago, by Hopper, of London. A magnificent lonic portico is the principal external feature, while the entrance ball and staircase enriched with marble columns, and the elegantly proportioned and superb dining room, all in perfect style of keeping, prove the taste which has been exercised in building and furnishing this luxurious abode. From Kinmel the road leads onwards to Bodlewydd an, the residence of Sir John Williams, Bart., which is reached through a massy Gothic gateway. The mansion it self has undergone a metamorphosis from Grecian to the castellated style. The original change was suggested and carried into effect by Mr. Edwd. Welch, architect, of Liver pool, and has since been continued under the direction of the agent of the estate. The work is well executed, and, with one or two slight exceptions, in perfect consistency of ,cha racter. From the turrets of the castle, the traveller may en joy one of the richest and most luxuriant prospects that can meet the eye; the wide spreading vale stretches forward like the val sans retour of fairy land; studded with beautiful seats, and quiet homes of romantic loveliness,—Rhyl, and the extensive marine view beyond—the sinuous course of the Foryd—the bold towers of Rhuddlan—Saint Asaph Cathe dral, and the extensive and 'far distant mountain scenery around.—Prom Roscoe's Wald', new edition, now publish ing in monthly parts.

Hides.—The market continues steady ; about 2500 dry Buenos Ayres Ox are reported at 7d to ;id, 1000 salted Monte Video at 4d to 43d, 1320 dry Lima at bid to 60, 400 dry salted Paraiba at 5/c1 per lb; 300 dry Buenos Ayres Horse at 10s, and 90 salted at Ils each. Tobacco.—The demand has im proved, and holders having been willing to meet the market, the sales this week amount to 130 hhds., of which 90 hhds. Virginia leaf (chiefly at sad) were taken for Ireland. The market for Brimstone remains in an unsettled and depressed state, with small sales making; a parcel of fine Tuscan sold from the ship-side at £7 Is per ton. Only small sales have been made in Sumac. Of Argols and Tartar there have been moderate sales ; 43 casks Naples red Argols brought 345, and some fine white Italian 46s per cwt. 10 casks Flag Annato brought 9id per lb. Some French bladders were offered by auction this week, but no bid was obtained. 50 bales Naples Roots sold at previous rates ; for other descriptions there is some inquiry, out no sales reported. Nothing done in Quercitron Bark. Only a few sales have been made iu Olive Oil, but there have been some arrivals, which will keep the market better supplied than it has been for some time past. A few tuns pale Seal Oil are reported £32 10S; in other kinds of Fish Oils nothing has been done. Some inquiry still continues for new Seal Oil to arrive, but the Importers are not disposed to sell until furteer accouuts arc received by the Fishery: Seed Oils are more steady, and sellers not inclined to go on at the reduction noticed last week. Oil of Turpentine has receded fulty 30s per ton ; the price to-day is £52 10s, but is little more than nominal. Palm Oil is in good demand ; the sales during the week have been 250 tons, at £34 lOs to £3B, and the lowest price is now £35, with few sellers. The stock of Russian Hemp being held for high prices, and the Trade pretty well supplied, there is little doing; but Jute is in good demand, and 1000 bales have been sold at £l3 15s to .414 105 per ton. 50 bales Sutui Hemp are also reported at £lB 10s, and a few bale of fine Manilla at £29. A fair inquiry has appeared through. out the week for yellow Candle Tallow, at moderate prices, namely at 48s for Petersburg, and 47s 6d to 47s 9d for Odessa ; about 50 pipes South American, of tine quality, brought 43s 6d to 44s 6d per cwt. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MAY 7. The demand for Cotton to-day has been very limited, and our market has even a quieter appearance than usual, and greater difficulty experienced to effect sales ; and the total amount of business is rather under than over 2000 bales. The sales of the week are 17,300 bales, of which 1200 American have been taken for export, and 1000 by specula tors ;—as to prices, we may remark, that there is no change since last Friday, except that the middling to fair descrip tions of American have been met with rather cheaper, say id per lb. COTTON MARKET, MAY 11 There is no new feature in the Cotton market. We continue to have a very limited demand ; consumers merely purchasing for the supply of their immediate wants in very small quantities, averaging about 2000 bales per day. No change in prices, and though we quote tile market easier from time to time, spinners cannot meet with Cotton when they come down, at prices they had previously expected, and many return without making any pur chase at all—holding back to the last extremity, sanguine in their opinion that much lower prices must eventually be submitted to.

Front abroad there are reported 16.795 quarters of Wheat, 3,260 quarters of Oats, 4,265 quarters of Beans, and 4,070 barrels of Flour ; and duties have been paid on 14,410 quarters of Wheat, 515 quarters of Beans, and 4,564 barrels of Flour. Fine weather and the Government agitation of the Corn-law question have tended jointly to render the trade dull and, on Tuesday, prices of Wheat, generally, were id to Id per bushel lower than at the close of the week. Holders have since refused to recede farther, but, on the other hand, sales been effected only to needy buyers, who have limited their purchases to the extent of their immediate wants. Flour has gone off slowly, though °tiered on easier terms. With accession of supply, both Oats and Oatmeal have declined in value. At yesterday's market the former was sold at id to id per bushel and the latter 3d to 6d per load below the rates quoted in our last report. Barley has been almost without inquiry; the little remaining on hand, however, has been held without variation as to price. Beans and Peas have moved only in retail. A parcel of Philadelphia Flour has changed hands, in bond, during the week, at 22s and some New Orleans at 20s per barrel. LONDON GAZETTE.-FRIDAY, MAY 7 PARTNERSHIPS DISSOLN ED_ J: N. Wood, W.
