Drummond Anderson, of St. Jude's, in this town, to become a candi date for the important office of Minister of St. James's, where the Rev. Mr. Bagot officiated for several years. The Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Calcutta preached a sermon on Wednesday morning last, at the Collegiate Church. Manchester, in aid of the funds for the erection and endowment of the cathedral of St Paul, Calcutta. Judgment was given on Friday morning, by Vice- Chancellor Sir. J Knight Bruce, in the cause of the Attorney-General v. Glasgow College—an information filed for the purpose of restoring, as it is alleged, to their original purpose, certain exhibitions to the University of Oxford, founded by Mr. Snell, in the year 1679. The testator directed that his exhibitioners, nominated by Glasgow College, should proceed to Oxford for education, and should then return and " take holy orders" in the Episcopal Church of Scotland ; which was the established Church at the date of the will, and for which, alone, an Oxford education could be adapted. It is urged on the other hand, that the testator meant only the Establish ment for the time being. The Vice-Chancellor decided in favour of the application of the Charity, for the pur poses of the Episcopal Church of Scotland. The exhibi tions have, in fact, been held without reference to any "orders" whatever, —Presbyterian or otherwise. BISHOP OF JERUSALEM.—lmmediately after his con secration, Dr. Gobat, the new Bishop of Jerusalem, took his departure from this country. He is to proceed by Constantinople to the important and interesting scene of his future labours, and most earnestly must every Christian pray that a blessing may attend him in the discharge of the duties of his Episcopal office. The opposition made to his appointment, the protest of the Bishop of Exeter, the alleged letter of Dr. Posey, the ravings of the Tract arian and High Church journals, the objections of Lord John Manners, and the opposition of Mr. Hume and others of his class to the Bishop's naturalization, are all circumstances which point out the fact, that the new Bishop is not one of those who come under the woe, which our Lord pronounced upon those of whom all men speak well. The Bishop is a man of far too much spirituality of mind, far too much attached to the vital truths of Christianity and to the doctrines of the Reformation, to he spoken well of either by the Bishop of Exeter or Mr. Joseoh Hume. But -the Christian is more indebted to the_King of Prussia who selected this unambitious, but learned and devoted Missionary, to fill the office of which his Majesty is in fact the founder. Probably there has never been an appointment of this kind less expected, and at the same time better chosen. Dr. Gobat was at work at Malta, organizing with great success the new Protes tant College, when by desire of the King of Prussia both Lord Ashley, as the head of the Malta College, and the Chevalier Bunsen, as his Majesty's Ambassador, offered to him the newly-erected Bishopric at Jerusalem. The offer would have been most flittering to a man in the circumstances of Dr. Gobat desirous of worldly distinction and independence. But he was so zealously devoted to his work as Vice-Principal, that be declined the honour until assured that it was the opinion of the heads of the College, that he ought to regard it as a call of Providence, inviting to a new scene of labours in the East.—Record. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. YORK AND NORTH MIDLAND COMPANY.—At the half-yearly meeting of this company, held at York on Monday week, a d;vidend of ten per cent. was declared. The Directors of the London and York (now the Great Northern Railway) have appointed Captain Laws, R.N., the managing director of their line. NEWCASTLE AND DARLINGTON RAILWAY.—A divi dend of nine per cent. was declared at the half-yearly meeting on Monday week.

The plaintiff in this action was the daughter of a widow lady, whose husband was formerly a wine-merchant, residing at Nottingha m . _ _ _ _ t Belper. He ,nt was a surgeon was a man of education, and possessed considerable ta lent, as his letters would show. He was apprenticed to Mr. Boden, surgeon, of Smalley, who was the medical attendant of the plaintiff's uncle, at Heanor ; and it was during the defendant's visits to plaintiff's uncle that an acquaintance commenced between the parties and an at tachment was formed. He was very much enamoured of her, and she reciprocated his affection. Subsequently the plaintiff paid a visit to some friends at Nottingham, whither V - t - L- - ' detenaant conveye_ ner, in company with her mother and sister. It was whilst she remained at Not tingham that the correspondence he (the learned counsel) 'pout to put in, commenced ; on her returning ham( •-• , t m9' a formal offer of marriw— .ge; he was accepted by the plaintiff; and the arrangement met with the approval of . relatives and friends. The time arrived when the defendant was out of his time, and it wa mined that he should proceed to Edinburgh}, to pursue hi studies. A correspondence, couched in most arde time, Mr s deter- u ai EAnnuurgn ; anti at tne expiratiot _ Allen returned to Heanor, where his friends excuses kwnicu turnea out co on pretences) were made by him to excuse this conduct; and at length he became mar ried to a lady of considerable fortune. He (the Learned Counsel) would show that at the time he was deludin g this affectionate young lady, he was offering his hand to two other ladies at Belper. When he commenced paying his addresses to a third lady (to whom he is now married) he began to represent his business prospects as exceed. ingly gloomy, and a correspondence took place on this subject, highly creditable to the heart and head of the young lady as far as her part of it was concer n ed; but quite t he contrary as regards the defendant. He talked of going abroad, and did everything in his power to pre vail on the plaintiff and her mother to relieve him from his engagement. Miss Toplis remonstrated with him, advised him to hope for brighter days, and said that she malt their arrival, or if needs be to become was willing united to him at once, anc she would do her part to make a small income quite sufficient for all moderate require ments. . _ _ _ _ The correspondence between plaintiff and defendant It is very voluminous, and extends over a period of six years.. The letters of the defendant are couched in terms of ardent affection, and the young lady's replies are certainly —as both Judge and Counsel admitt ed—creditable to her good sense and refined feeling. The Learned Counsel read copious extracts from these documents. The Learned Judge, in addressing the Jury, said, as the verdict had been conceded, the only question was as to the amount of damages. The Jury consulted for a few minutes and then returned a verdict for the plaintiff; damages, £2OO. resided, and became a constant visitor at the house of Mr. Toplis. Subsequently be went to London to walk the hospitals, and his correspondence with the plaintiff during his stay in town showed only increased affection. After walking the hospitals he returned home to establish himself as a practitioner, and purchased the business of a gentleman at Belper, before taking which, he consulted the feelings and the wishes of the plaintiff.

The jury desire al , o to re- cord their deliberate opinion that a degree of culpability attaches to the managers of the Eastern Counties Rail.. way, in not taking due care that their own rules are most scrupulously observed, as regards the time of departure of one train after another from all the stations; the exhi bition of the signals at all the stations ; the keeping of exact time in the arrival and departure of the trains, and the appointment of only thoroughly competent persons in all departments."

It is now confidently anticipated that the Sugar Bill will be carried through all its stages in the House of C ,, mmons in the course of the ensuing week ; and, allow ing for all contingencies at present foreseen, Parliament will probably be prorogued before the 25th instant.— Globe. . A glass-manufacturer at Sunderland has obtained damages, in the Court of Common Pleas, to the amount of £657 6s. Bd. against another person in the same trade at Gateshead, for enticing away workmen.

On Sunday, a female infant, not quite twelve months old, fell from the third floor window at 11, Langley-court, Long-acre. The child was being nursed at the time by a juvenile sister, when it sprang from her arms into the court bolow. It was taken up in a frightfully mutilated state, without any hope of recovery. An Irish gentleman having a pair of new boots sent home to him, proceeded to try them on ; but after a good deal of labour, and pulling and straining, too, from the blisters on his hands, he could no longer continue the vio lent exertion, he desisted, declaring that he perceived very clearly that he should never get those boots on " till he had worn them a day or two.' _____ _ _ ENGLISH BANKRUPTCIES. —The number of bank rupts during the last year amounted to 1025, comprising nearly all trades and professions. The highest number was that of victuallers, which was sixty-three, and the lowest number the class of attorneys, there being one only. The only business excepted from that of bank rupt's list was that of undertakers. At the Henley-in-Arden Petty Sessions, last week, Edward Birch and John Starkey, servants of Mr White house, of Eardington, and John Page, Henley-in-Arden, were summoned before the Magistrates for mowing, hay making, and carrying hay in a meadow at Henley on Sun day, the 21st of Jur.e last. The parties admitted the of fence, and were ordered to pay Bs. 6:1 each for costs. THE " TIMES" AND THE MINISTRY.—Of course the press is convenient, if not indispensable, as an occasional, or even frequent channel for announcements designed to prepare the public mind, and soften the approaches to startling alterations. A more regular connexion does not suit the genius of English journalism ; and to the best of our information and belief, the present ministry intend to act on that opinion. At least we can answer for our selves.—Times. IMPORTANT TO DEBTORS AND CREDITORS.—In the Court of Queen's Bench, last week, in the case of Toomer v. Gingell, the same law lately adjudicated by Mr. Palmer in the Bristol Court of Requests, was adopted, when it was argued that the final order was changed by the sta tute, and the plea in bar taken away : and Mr. Justice Maule, in giving judgment, said, `• I have read the statute through very carefully, and it seems to me to have been the intention of the legislature that the final order should no longer operate any further than as a protection to the person." At York Assizes, yesterday week, John Rodda, an Irish man who lived at Skipton, was tried for the wilful murder of his daughter, an infant twelve months old. The child died from vitriol or some such poison having been given to it : the man had bought some vitriol ; he had been left with the child just before it came ill and vomited'a corro sive substance ; and he had remarked to people that he would get a sum of money from a burial society if the infant died. Rodda had other children entered in such societies, and used to talk of what he should get if they died. The prisoner was found guilty, and sentenced to be hanged. RECEPTION OF A NUN INTO THE ORDER OF THE SISTERS OF MERCY.—On Monday, the ceremony of in vesting a young lady with the veil and holy habit of the Sisters of Mercy took place in the Trinity Chapel of the Convent, Dock-head, Bermondsey, in the presence of a large number of the English Roman Catholic clergy and laity. Miss Graham, the lady who took the veil, is about 20 years of age, and a member of a highly respectable fa mily in St. John's Wood. It is said that the young lady has provided munificently for the pecuniary wants of the Convent. Dr. Griffiths, the Roman Catholic bishop of the London district, officiated. TUE ALLEGED DEATH FROM FLOGGING, AT HOIJNS LOW.—The inquest on Patrick Frederick White, the soldier of the 7th Hussars whose death is alleged to have been occasioned by the infliction of severe corporal pu nishment, was resumed on Monday, before Mr. Wakley, M.P. Several surgeons were examined as to the cause of death. The army surgeons and one civilian agreed that death had resulted from inflammation of the pleura and of the lining membrane of the heart. Mr. Erasmus Wilson, a civilian, attributed death, though in a remote degree, to the effects of the flogging. The inquest was again adjourned. RAILWAY LABOURERS,—We understand that :the fol lowing is a correct list of the different labourers em ployed on the different railways now in course of forma tion in Mid-Lothian :—On the Hawick branch of the North British Railway, at the Lothian Bridge section, 285; Newton Loan, 140; Kirkhill, 70 ; Gorebridge, 500 ; Crichton Moss, 750; Half-la-Kell, 400; Borthwick, 110; Catcune, 70—in all, 2,325. Of these upwards of Englishmen. On the Caledonian Rails, at Slateforr 196; Riccarton, 123 ; Haggs, 28; and Kirknewton, 302 —in all, 649. Of these there are 300 Scotchrren, the same number of Irishmen, and only about 30 English- FOREIGN COMPETITION.—We understand that serious apprehensions are entertained by the glass manufacturers in this district (Birmingham) that a certain portion of their trade must must give way to foreign competition. Several Belgian travellers have lately offered for sale wine-glasses and tumblors at the merchants' warehouses in this town at from 2a to 35 per cent. cheaper than the same description of articles can be produced in this coun try. The same disadvantage to a still greater extent is apprehended with respect to ornamental glass.

At the Lincoln assizes last week, Ann Westmoreland, Francis Wright, Samuel Fletcher, and Richard Thorpe, were indicted for having forcibly abducted Mr. Browulow Tailor Westmoreland, the husband of the first defendant, from Bourne, on the 23d of April, and with carrying him off against his will and consent.

DEPLORABLE OCCURRENCE—CAUTION.—A kitchen maid in the service of Mr. Snead, farmer, of Bridge Sollars has been a victim of the very foolish practice of using fire arms in play. On Friday week last, the girl and a servant lad were chasing each other round the tables, and he know ing that she was frightened at a gun, pointed it at her, thinking it was unloaded, when unfortunately the gun dropped from his hand upon the table, went off, and the poor creature, who was on the opposite side, received the charge of bird-shot in her face. Her mouth and tongue were very seriously injured, and s he was rendered com pletely blind. Air. Giles, surgeon, is attending her, and we are induced to hope that she will recover, there is diffi culty in getting at accurate information. At the Nottingham Assizes, on Friday, before Mr. Justice Coleridge, in the case of the Queen v. Lord Har borough and others, an indictment for a conspiracy to prevent the engineers and surveyors of the Midland Rail way Company making surveys upon the highway in the neighbourhood of Lord Harborough's estate, and making assaults upon different parties, a verdict of Not Guilt - 5, was returned. His Lordship in summing up, said, the indictment could not promote the ends of public justice, and could only have been tried for a private Purpose. Courts of Justice were not established for such an object. Alter Etating toe jaw ne reca pitulated the evidence, and left the jury to decide between the parties. The hearing of this inquiry lasted upwards of five hours. MURDER AT NEwcAsn.E.—Considerable sensation was caused on Saturday morning, by the discovery of the body of Robert Lowthin, the registrar of births, deaths, and marrirges in the Gateshead district, in the river Tyne, at and circumstances h ave s i nce transp i re d wdh. i N ewcastle;ch testrong suspicion of his h av i ng been appearsmurder that Lowthin had on th e F r id a y received murder ed. xci his quar(eriy saiary as regist rar , an d at e i g h t o ' c l oc k that night he was in the Charles XII. public-house, at the end of Tyne Bridge, when the landlord observed that he had a watch, and a considerable sum of money in his purse.

BIRMINGHAM MUSICAL FESTIVAL.—We are happy to find that the preparations and arrangements for our forthcoming festival are being carried on by the commit tee of management in a manner worthy of this great fea ture of the present musical aeason. Our Town Hall has been decorated in a style of rich elegance peculiarly adapted for bringing out, to the highest effects, the bean ties of its architectural design • and this, together with the gorgeous embellishments and improvements of its no ble and fine-toned organ, and the judicious alteration in the form of the orchestra, will at once render it (already one of the largest) the most superb, and; as to its appli ances, the most complete music room in Europe. The list of the band to be assembled within its walls on this occasion contains the names of nearly the whole available first-rate instrumental talent at present to be found in the kingdom, and comprises nearly half a hundred violins, twenty violas, sixteen violoncellos, and ten double basses, balanced by thirty-two wind instruments. The choir, ad mirably trained, will consist of eighty sopranos, sixty altos, sixty tenors, and seventy-two basses. With such means as these, under the conductorship of Mendelssohn and Moscheles, and with an array of principal vocalists, the most eminent in their profession, what admirable re sults may be expected from the promised performances of the greatest works of Handel, Beethoven, Haydn, Mendelssohn, Spohr, &c. 1 but while the directors have been providing attractions calculated to draw the musical public to the metropolis of the midland counties, they have not been unmindful of the ease and comfort of their visitors on their arrival. A register of lodgings has been opened at Mr. Harrison's, 30, Colmore Row, where per sons, desirous of engaging apartments during the festival, may, upon application, receive information in every way calculated to facilitate their wishes ; and a stranger's com mittee has been appointed to ballot for and select places for parties who cannot conveniently attend previous to the time of performance, or may wish to avoid the trouble of balloting for their own places, We understand that the detailed scheme of the performances will be imme diately published, end we expect great pleasure in referring to it.—Midland Counties Herald.

She belonged to Glasgow' and sailed from Calcutta in th e latter part of February last, with 216 emierants for Jamaica on board. Having landed them at that port, she shipped a valuable cargo of sugar, rum, saltpetre, and other articles, and sailed for Liverpool on the 24th of April, and struck on a sunken rock, known as the Aligator Rock, at Key West. Every effort was made by the master and crew to get off, but in confequetce of the heavy sea it was impossible to accompii.di this, and in a few hours she was full of water. Fortunately all on board were saved by the boats, and landed at Key West. The following day she fell over the rock, and became a total wreck. The loss will prove very heavy, and insurance to the amount of £20,000 are reported to have been effected on the vessel and cargo. The circumstances attending the loss of the Sir Walter Scott, Captain Byas, are of a lamentable character. It appears that for several months fears were entertained that she had been lost, no tidings of her having reached her owners since list Sep tember. Letter:, however, have recently come to hand, stating the vessel to have been totally wrecked on the coast of Labradore, a month after she had left Quebec for Limerick. According to the accounts forwarded, she was driven aground during a snow storm, and the sea and ice breaking over, the captain and crew lashed themselves in the rigging, in hope that their position would be seen, and assistance rendered. In that perilious situation they remained for two days, and perceiving no chance of being rescued, they constructed a raft, and by that means sue- ceeded in gaining the land. Here their condition was almost as bad. They wandered about for miles without meeting with any of the residents, or anything i n the shape o relief, for five days. When discovered, with the intense cold and want of sustenance, they were reduced to the greatest exhaustion. The crew consisted of eighteen, fifteen of whom, including the master, perished from the intense suffering they had endured. She belonged to the port of Hull. The mate and two of the seamen are the survivors.—Morning Chronicle. , DEATH OF A BEAST.—A glutton, at Kingsbridge, Devonshire, ate for a wager six pounds of bullock's liver, soaked in train oil, but died a few minutes after he had completed his disgusting task. ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS The engagement of M. Jullian and his unrivalled mu sical corps gave renewed zest and interest to the pnr.r_ tainments at the gardens last week. The Monday and Tuesday was very numerou fashionab!e parties were present in the Concert-hall, which dance on nd some :. The concert took place s crowded to suffocation. icpuLation, mat the crowds of anxious visitors were as eager to hear its combined effects as to receive delight from the individual efforts of the cele brated solo performers who were present,%the renowned Vieuxtemps, the admired Herr Kcehig, and others of not less note. It will be seen by the advertisement, that the public of Liverpool will have several more opportunities of hearing these celebrated artists, of which we advise them, by all means, to avail themselves. As our space is circumscribed, and we have been particularly requested to copy the following, which appeared recently in a contem porary publication, we must forbear to enlarge on the subject : _ _ •' Mons. Prospere, Herr Koenig. and Mona. Vi2uX temps have charmed us with the delightful melodies of that celebrated vocalist Pishek, which he has sung during the two past London seasons at the Philharmonic and An cient Concerts with the most extraordinary success. By the different styles of the three instruments, we are led to believe that the report of his possessing the voice pro digious of tenor, baritone, and bass must be correct. We regret that his engagements at Stutgardt have not al lowed us a chance of a visit to this town this season; but we hope that next year we may be more lucky; but the committee of the Gentlemen'i Concert at Maricheiter, with their usual activity, engaged that star, whose success vas complete. We perceive that a London contemporory Ilance of Don Juan is worth a pilgri nd that he has refused the most flatter ing offers from the Italian manager. He is also the only person who has ever approached the mystic music of the Maestro Sphor, or interpreted the santastic work of the greatest poet of Germany, Goethe. We subjoin the translation of the scena of Faust, as played by Herr Koenig, sung by Herr Pischek : mage to witness "' From very hell will I ravish a blessing, Despite its dread magnificence of ill; Mature, thou fiend! this blossom of my wishes, The fragrance now, hereafter be the thorn ; Where love ha!h stor'd with fruit a blooming bower, To pluck its dainties, giant, 0, grant the slave the pow'r 1 ARIA Clad in brightest, puiJt beauty, Springs a flow'ret from the mind, Pictur'd truth, and prompted duty, With its sweetness dwell combined Searching far a holier blossom, Vainly I might rove; Nurtur'd on my Rosa's bosom, Dwells divinest love.
