DINNERS AT THE TOWN HALL.—The Mayor enter tained a party of 50 gentlemen to dinner at the Town Hall on Thursday evening; and has invited the judges, grand jury, and several of the bar, to dine with him on Thursday next.

From his being engaged at the South Dispensary in the same capacity, and from his very fine testimonials, we congratulate the vestry in having secured the services of a person-so well qualified for the office. THE LONDON GANG OF WILL FORGERS.—J. HUM PHREYS PARRY.—We understand that J.

DEATHS alr BURNING.—On Saturday two inquests were held before the borough coroner on view of the bodies of two children, named Michael Gordon, four years old, residing with his parents, in Eaton-street, and Cathe rine Donnelly, also four years old, residing with her parents, in Gtosvenor-street. It appeared that, in both cases, the children were left by themselves in rooms in which there were fires, and that they accidentally set their habiliments in a blaze, and were so dreadfully burned that they shortly after died. Verdicts to this effect were returned. CALEDONIAN RAILWAY.—The shares in the Caledo nian line from Carlisle to Glasgow have filled up with a rapidity hitherto without any paralell, and we hear there is great competition among capitalists of the highest order to obtain allotments. The nobility and other landowners on the line have taken a very warm interest, and are applicants for a large amount of shares. It is expected that the list will be quite full in a very few days. We bear it remarked that this line has been received with more marked approval than any that has made its appearance for a long time.—Economist of Satztrday. ATMOSPHERIC CHANGE , .—Although changes in the temparature are more prevalent in the temperate zone than in other latitudes, there is scarcely a spot to be found where bush great differeuce exists as in Great Britain, varying in a few hours some 20 degrees or more. The effect of such rapid changes on the bodily health is very afflicting to many thousands of persons, especially those in the middle and more advanced ages of life, causing at tacks of those painful disorders, Sciatica, Gout, and Rheumatism. • Happily for those who are afflicted with those painful diseases, chemical science has produced that excellent medicine, Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills. —•See advt. FlRE.—About twenty minutes after one o'clock, on Sa turday morning, the policeman on duty in Soho-street observed flames issuing from Messrs. Pringle and Har vey's rice -mill, in that neighbourhood. The alarm was immediately conveyed to the fire-station ; and, in the course of twenty minutes after, the engines were got into play. The flames, had, however, raged with such violence in the interim that the contents of the mill were almost wholly destroyed. There were two workmen in the mill at the time ; and the only manner in which the fire can be accounted for is by the friction of the grinding -stones. The damage to mill and property is considerable ; but we are happy to learn that the parties were pretty fully in sured. The building was insured in the Liverpool Office for £5OO, and in the Atlas for £3OO. The stock was in sured in the Yorkshire for £1,500, a n d t h e mach i nery was also insured in the Yorkshire for the same amount. CHARGE AGAINST A LODGING -HOUSE KEEPER.—OR Wednesday, nine Irish emigrants, who were about to em bark for New York, summoned John Connor, a lodging house keeper at the Clarence Dock, before Mr. Rushton. One of the complainants said they went to Connor's house until a vessel was ready to take them out, and agreed to pay 4d. per night each while they remained. Having ob tained a vessel, Connor made some demur, and said he would be up with them for not giving him the opportu tunity of booking them himself, and prevented them tak ing away their boxes unless they paid 4s. Gd. each, which was refused, the parties, however, offering 7s. for the two nights' lodging. Connor denied that any agreement had been entered into for 4d per night, and said that his charge was ls. St for each party. Mr. Rushton, however, or dere?. 9s. to be paid to him, namely, Is. for each person, and that the boxes should be given up, observing that he (Connor) had a wish to make money out of them, not, probably , by the charge for lodging, but in another way. GENERAL MISCELLANY. FIRE.—On Monday the Gibraltar Soap Works, at Knostrop, near Leeds, were very seriously injured by fire, and the stock on the premises was completely destroyed. The loss is estimated at £6,000. ANOTHER ESCAPE FROM NOTTINGHAM GAOL.—On Wednesday hot considerable excitement was occasioned. in Nottingham : by the circumstance of another convict (Thomas Shelton, under a sentence of transportation for life) having escaped from the Nottingham county gaol. At the Mansion-house, last week, a young man, named George Gumm, was remanded on a charge of having stolen £2,000 in bank notes from the City of Boulogne steamer, in September last. The prisoner was proved to have paid two of the notes away. CAUTION.—It has just been decided, that every device engraved on a seal, although not exhibiting the family arms or crest, or accompanied by a shield or heraldic colours, is to be considered an "armorial bearing, or en sign," or crest, within the meaning of the act, subjecting the user to taxation. ODD THEATRICAL EXPERlMENT.—Shakspere's co medy, the Taming rof a Shrew, was produced, on Satur day week, at the Haymarket, as originally written. It was represented, as the custom of the olden time, without scenery, the stage being curtained in and each locality in dicated by a printed placard. THE MURDER AT NEWCASTLE.--At Newcastle, on. Monday, the adjourned inquest on the body of Ann Sher wood, supposed to hare been murdered by her husband. was resumed, and, after hearing further evidence, the jury returned a verdict of " Wilful murder" against the pri soner, Mark Sherwood. He was fully committed to take his trial at the next assizes. On Tuesdayikight, the brig Hibernia, Pearce, master, belonging to Dovel., was destroyed by fire at Stockton-on- Tees, The vessel in.going in had taken ground, and after being left by the tide, she fell over upon her beam ends, and a lighted stove on 'board set some bedding on fire, and hence the accident. SINGULAR CAPTURE OF A WOODCOCK.—On Sunday night last, as a countryman was going across a field in. Haighton, a brace of woodcocks flew against a lighted lantern, which he was carrying in his hands. He aimed a stroke at the birds, and succeeded in knocking one of them down, which he caught alive. The other made its escape.—Preston Chronicle. PUBLIC CONFIDENCE.—The ease with which the re duction of the Three-and-a-Half per Cents is going on seems even greater than could possibly have been antici pated by the most sanguine. Although the time for ex pressing dissent expire. on Saturday, the whole amount, for which notice has been given, barely exceeds £60,000- _ THE COLD WATER CURE.—A splendid hydropathic establishment and hotel are now erecting, at an estimated cost of £15,000, by a company of Leeds gentlemen, at Rbydding, near Ilkley, in the romantic vale of Wharfe, within a few miles of Leeds. It is intended to open the establishment in May next, and the company have al ready engaged a German physician, at a salary of £3OO a year to superintend its operations.—Lancaster Guardian. Mary Ann Johnson, aged twelve years, who was com muted for trial at Lincoln assizes, charged with having poisoned her two younger half brothers, has been dis charged, the grand jury having ignored the bill against her. It is said that the child had been made the instru ment of some one else in giving the poison, and that there is ground to hope that the really , guilty party will be dis covered and brought to justice. SALE OF THE DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE'S COINS AND MEDALS.—On Monday this magnificent collection was submitted for sale by Messrs. Christie and Manson, at their auction mart, King-street, St. James's.

The day's sale realised upwards of £7OO. NEW HATS FOR THE METROPOLITAN POLICE.—The, commissioners of Whce have decided on an alteration in the hats of the police, which gill be immediately adopted throughout the force, and will tend materially to add to the ease and comfort of the men whilst on duty, especially in hot weather. The alteration about to be adopted con sists of a perforated button, affixed on each side of the hat, near the crown : the hat having also an eyelet hole where the buttons are affixed, so as to admit air, and thus keep the policemen's heads cool. SERIOUS COACH ROBBERY.—On Monday last, the Defiance, Oxford coach, was robbed of 1,500 sovereigns, which had been forwarded from a banking house west of Temple Bar to Messrs. Robinson, Thomson, and Co, of the Old Bank, Oxford. The coachman, Mr. Hobson, who is a highly respectable man, it appears has been in. the habit of bringing bankers' parcels to Oxford, which no doubt some of the swell mob were aware of. The box containing the gold was put in its accnstomed place of security, inthe front boot, in London; but, on arriving at the Old Bank, Oxford, it was missing. It is supposed that the robbery was committed by a person who occupied the box seat. Oxfotd Chronicle. RUNCORN PARISH ;CHURCH.—On Tuesday last the committee appointed in public vestry, some time back, to employ an architect to give plans and specifications for a new church, met at the Town-hall, Sir Richard Brooke, Bart. in the chair, when, in accordance with their duties, a plan was produced from Mr. Slavin, the eminent Lon don architect, of a church in the early English style, with tower and spire. It was much admired for the beauty and grandeur of its design, and was recommended by the committee to be adopted by the parishioners, to carry which object into effect a committee was then appointed to omiat-i- cohcor;ptinna from the more weal thy inhabi tants, so as to ease the burden from the poorer rate pay ers. The estimate, including all expenses, was under £6,000. Carr. MILLER.—We are gratified to learn that mea sures are in progress to present Capt. Miller with a testi monial, previous to his leaving Glaagow to assume the office of Chief Constable of the Liverpool Police. The testimonial is intended to embody, in a manner more sabstantial than could be done by a complimentary vote of thanks, the feeling in which the citizens have appreciated his zeal, energy, and perseverance, during the several years which he has held the °nice of Superintendent of the Glasgow Police—a period, it may be remarked, fruitful in the occurrence of many incidents well calculated to exhibit the virtues of patience, prudence, and assiduity, on the part of the chief officer. From the high character of the gentlemen who are interesting themeelves in for warding this acknowledgment of Capt. Miller's services, there is no doubt that the result will be of the most satis factory kind.—Glasgow Herald THE WEST CALDER MURDER.—On Tuesday week, James Bryce was placed at the bar of the High Court of Justice, Edinburgh, charged with murder and robbery, on the 26th or 27th of December last, when the prisoner, in order to possess himself of money and goods, attacked John Geddes within his dwelling-house, at Blae Weary, parish of West Calder; and with a pair of tongs, inflicted several blows on his head, face, and other parts of his body, and with a cord, or other ligature, compressed his throat so as to strangle him, in consequence of which the said John Geddes died; and therefore robbed him of a sum of money. 'The prisoner very audibly, and with the utmost firmness, pleaded not guilty. 'The trial was very long, occupying the-whole of two days. At the conclusion, the jury found the prisoner guilty, and the Lord Justice Clerk sentenced him to'be executed on the 3rd of April, in the Lawn Market, Edißburgh. DRATH OF LORD LONSDALE.—The venerable Earl of Lonsdale eApired atlils residence, York-house, Twick enham, in the eighty-seventh year of his age, on Tuesday, the 19th instant, at a qUarter to seven, p.m. The noble earl had, during several weeks past, suffered severely from three separate attacks of illness, the effects of which were happily averted by surgical skill and the unremittinc , assiduity of those around him, and his health and spirits' were recovering their usual elasticity, when on Saturday week his lordship was seized with the prevailing influenza, (which is more than ordinarily violent in the vicinity of Richmond,) and which excited so much alarm in the mind of Mr. Bolton (his consulting surgeon) as to induce that gentleman to call in the additional assistance of Dr. Chambers, who remained in attendance upon the late earl up to the day of his decease. Some flattering symptoms displayed themselves on Monday, but on Tuesday after noon every favourable expectation had vanished, and the venerable earl sank under the effects of the malady that had attacked him ; the progress of death being, however, so gentle and gradual, that the moment at which be ex pired was scarcely perceptible. It is worthy of notice that the demise of the Earl of Lonsdale was preceded only by a short period by that of his friend and former coad jutor, the late Viscount Sidmouth, whose decease never was communicated to their aged chief, fearful lest so mournful an event should retard his recovery or operate injuriously on his spirits. ELOPEMENT EXT RAORDINARY.--An offaire du eceur. followed by a somewhat romantic adventure, has formed the topic of much sprightly gossip amongst the tea-table coteries of the neighbourhood of Woburn. The facts are these :—On Tuesday last Misi Frances, second daughter of Mr. Gascoigne, of Brickmore House, suddenly dis appeared from home ; her relatives and friend's immedi ately commenced an investigation, and the result was, that the young lady was found to have placed herself under the protection of Mr. William Thomas Gawthorn, solicitor. The parties met by appointment and proceeded to London by railway, and next morning were married. When the bridegroom felt sure of his prize, he despatched a mission to a younger brother, residing at Ridgmont, with authority to acquaint Mr. Gascoigne that Miss Fanny had become Mrs. Gawthorn, and only waited permission to offer her dutiful respects to her family in that charac ter. The younger Mr. Gawthorn, entertaining a penchant for Miss Gascoigne, his sister-in•law's elder sister, rea dily accepted the office of mediator. He requested an. interview, which was peremptorily refused. The young gentleman protested that such cruelty would be the death of him—he swore that he would incontinently make away with himself. Fathers, it is said, have flinty hearts : nei ther threat nor entreaty was of any avail. Stung with such indignity, he drew a pistol from his bosom and fired it—in the air! Even this proof of devotion made no im pression on the callous feeling of his lady-love's relatives.. Another murderous weapon was drawn forth, and flou rished in front of the windows. Still there was no symp tom of compunction exhibited. Another moment, and a loud report told that the deed was done. These successive discharges of fire-arms brought to the spot some of the inmates of a neighboUring cottage. The young gentleman was found lying on the ground writhing in agony, and though not dying, yet much more seriously wounded than he had probably intended. The ball had passed—not through his head or his heart, but—through his leg! The effusion of blood was considerable, and the young gentle man was taken home to Ridgmont, where he now lies in a very precarious state. The elder brother and his bride are suppdsed to be keeping the honeymoon in London; but it is reported that the lady's friends have determined to take legal proceedings, in order to set aside the mar riage, as she happens to be under age, and heiress to Et large fortune.
