Fairhurst, At the Stirling Court of Justiciary, on Wednesday, a female medical practitioner was sentenced to ten years' transportation, for inflicting injuries upon a pregnant wo man, which terminated in her death. On Sunday last Miss Catherine Bathurst, sister of the Rev. E. S. Bathurst, late Rector of Kibworth Beauchamp,. Leicestershire, was received into the Roman Catholic Church at the Jesuits' Chapel, London, by the Rev. Mr. Brombill. We learn from the Bologna Gazelle of the 18th that a violent shock of earthquake was felt there on that day. Not only house bells, but even the public bell of the Piazza Maggiore rang in consequence of the shock, which was renewed half an hour later, though with less intensity. The Duke of Newcastle is in a very precarious state of health. The demise of his son, Lord William Clinton, it appears, has augmented the grief of his grace. The Earl of Lincoln arrived at Clumber on Monday, and with Lords Charles and Robert, and the Lady Clintons, are in hourly attendance on their noble parent. The apparatus and surplus materials of the Britannia bridge are about to be sold by auction. This collection, like everything . else con nec t e d w ith th e s t ru ctu r e, is gi gantic. There are upwards of 100,000 cubic feet of tim ber; 100 tons of ropes and hawsers ; suspension -chains and chain cables enough to build a bridge of 100 to 150 feet span; awl a great variety of other ponderous articles. CURIOUS COMBINATION OF PERSONS AT A WEDDING. —A Mr. Isaac Backhouse, aged 64, to Miss Ann Robin son, aged 54. At the celebration of their nuptials, ex clusive of the dergy, &c., there were present one grand father, one grandmother, two fathers, one mother, one husband and one wife, two sons, one daughter, one uncle, one aunt, and two first cousins : yet there were only two persons beside the bride and bridegroom. A. GENEALOGY. — OId Williams of Doncaster had in the year 1700, two daughters by his first wife, the eldest of whom was married to John Willey the son, and the Youngest was married to John Willey the father ; this Willey had a daughter by his first wife, whom Old Wil liams married, and by her had a son ; therefore, Wiley the father's second wife could say :—" My father is my son, and I am my mother's mother, my sister is my daughter, and I am grandmother to my brother." minded, that for it own security, 'they within FIFTER AYS from the said QUARTER DAY_ LIFE AS; RANGES.—This branch of the Corporatioi ' on without any charge for management, a Assured.

THE success of these Medicines is unexampled : they are taken with equal benefit in hot as in cold cli mates, and their use has consequently extended all over the world, where, in every principal city or town, an agent for their sale has been established. This great celebrity has tempted many to counterfeit them in various designing ways, so that it has become necessary to admonish purchasers to be very cautious, as some shopkeepers even copy the name, (with a slight variation, calculated to mis lead an unguarded person,) and in the form of " L OTIONS ," " PILLS," &c., attempt to pass off imitations. All such counterfeits may be guarded against by simply ob serving that no Medicine is genuine but " WAFERS." and that the 'cords "DR. LOCOCK'S WAFERS" are in the Government Stamp outside each Box. As a further guide to the Public, a description of each of Dr. LOCOCK'S GENUINE MEDICINES iS below. DR.

He had been engaged forty ye in trying to reform the county rates, and twenty years a committee was appointed at Uttoxeter to take into ci sideration the county expenditure, and it i: means of reducing that expenditure in the county of St ford from £40,000 to £14,000.

He alluded to the county rates of the West Riding, which had risen from £35,000 to £103,560 in a few years, and said that great interest was taken in this subject at Rotheram, and the Clerk of the Union and three Guardians;had been deputed to attend that meeting. He thought that the magistrates, if properly met, would act in harmony with the committee, and he hoped that the agitation of the question would be carried on with spirit. He begged to second the resolution. C -ho wished to AC CHAIR AN invited any gentleman w.._ speak upon the resolution to do so, but no person rising, it was unanimously carried. Mr. JOHN LIVESEY, of Preston, rose to propose the second resolution, and thought it strange that a meeting should be called to show that representation should be co extensive with taxation. He urged those interested in the movement to increased perseverance, and said, that fifteen years ago, a parliamentary commission, had recom mended an alteration in the County assessments, and the appointment of County Financial Boards, composed of Guardians of the Poor and Magistrates. He observed that the county rates were higher this year than last, but he did not like the appointment of a government auditor, as suggested by Mr. Jones, for he only had power to veto any illegal items in the account. He begged to propose the following resolution : "That the irresponsible power of the magistrates to raise Irge sums of mcne• `l , we• if count" - t Ay of county rate, and expend the same uncontrolled by the ratepayers, is a principle so unjust as to require forthwith the interference of the government anti the legislature." Mr. ROGER FENTON, of Salf tion, which was carried. Mr. Mru.s, of Stoke-upon-Trent, briefly urged the meeting to be firm in the prosecution of the object for which it was called, and proposed the next resolution— , seconded the resolu- "That two members of each board of guardians in the coun ty be elected, who, together with John Livesey, Esq., Preston; Jos. Schofield, Esq., Rochale; a.ld Henry Newall, Esq., of Littleborough ; be appointed a committee to carry out the ob jects of this meeting." _ _ _ . . SMITII, of Ashton, seconded the resolution. It was carried unanimously. A resolution was then carried for the appointment of a deputation to wait upon government to urge the introduc tion of a bill to effect a more popular constitntion on the administration of County Finance, as was a vote of thanks to the members of Parliament present, to which Messrs. W. Brown, A. Henry, J. W. Patten, J. Heywood, J. Brotherton, and R. A. Thicknesse returned thanks. Mr. HEYWOOD recommended the committee to meet the magistrates half-way. He advised the payment of the police from the consolidated fund, and that the magis trates appoint a portion of the County Financial Board, but his remarks were not cordially received. A — vole of thanks was then passed to the Chairman, and the party afterwards dined at the Hotel. PROPERTY LEFT IN RAILWAY CARRIAGES.—The ma gistrates at Stowmarket have intimated t o : a passenger who retained, an Indian Cashmere shawl left by another passenger in a carrage on the East ern U n i on Ra i lway, that persons not delivering up property of this description to the railway authorities are liable to be indicted for felony. SLAVE-TRADE TREATIES: GREAT PUBLIC MEETING. —The Glasgow Daily Mail of Friday contains a very full report of an interesting public meeting which took place on the previous evening in that city on the slave-trade question. It was called by the Lord Provost, in compli ance with a numerousand influentially-signed requisition, and was held in the City Hall, for the purpose of con sidering the propriety of adopting resolutions, and appoin - ing a committee to prepare petitions to the legislature in favour of enforcing the treaties ratified between Great Britain, Spain, and Brazil, for the suspension of the shy e trade. The following gentlemen, among many other s, took their places on the platform :—The Hon. Sir Jarres o i ll l n lia Macgregor,m Symington.

There has been nothing doing in the Corn Market since Friday last; and its pervading feature is extreme dulness. Although we cannot quote prices actually lower, yet their tendency is drooping, and a reduction would, it is thought, be made in all descriptions of grain and flour, if business could be done. Indian Corn is firm, owing to the incrcz..sel consumption in Ireland but little is doing. in it. DD. quay - • Old 1. 7 1/3 The commercial accounts received to-day by the West India mail are not satisfactory. At Jamaica business was so unusually dull that scarcely any sales of a wholesale nature ware reported. The only article which passed with some degree of freedom from the hands of importers was flour, for which there was a slight speculative demand. The intelligence received from America as to the grow ing cotton crop not being more satisfactory, the cotton market to-day assumed a firmer tone.
