THE BATTI.F. OF LIMEKILN ~ A tall and poYerfUl looking feinale, named Bridget Melia, ;!'as charged, for having assaulted another female named Ellen Branigan. The complainant said there was a little cosiierin party is Limekiln Line, and it consisted of a family party of the Branigans, Lanagharis, and several- others of that ilk, . • i:Arhen the piisoner, .I'7itholit may invitation or provocation, intruded on the.plemnities of the relations. She was ordered to 'Withdraw from thc hallowed precincts of Mr. Duggan's pub lict•honse, but she insisted that she had as good a right there s any Branagan in the Lane or out of it, and in order to prove thr assertion she procured a brick bat, Mod began to try whe ther it or Complainant's head could bear the most poanding. The latter proved too soft, and decording to the evidence of a surgeon, a very severe wound cutting down to the bone was' the result. He did not think lifh in danger, but the wound was very severe and hs could not yet tell the result of it. The prisoner said she went into the public house to enjoy herself, the same as any one else, when ishe was set upon * by the other party, who broke her leg. (Here she invi'ed Mr. McGuinness, the bridewell-keeper, to lasp:et the limb, and having done so, he pronounced it as Round as a bell.) As she failed to convince the magistrates that her leg was fractured, she begged the tritl4ell-keeper to see if her arm was not disloeathd. Mr. McGuinness having thanipulated the hOne, With a degree of professional ability that wouhi have astonished a professor of anatomy, said the Arra was fit for anything, fro n pitch-and-toss to manslaughter. 'YIPS settled 'the question, and the prisoner way remanded for teveri days, until the result of the wound could be known. A LOYAL SUBJECT. Patrick Waters, a :very. tall and powerful man, was broUght up charged for being drunk and disorderly in the streets. In reply to the charge he made the following statement :--- Yesterday,- Sir, I got paid some money that was due to me, and it being the birthday of her Majesty the Queen, God bless her, I could not do less than drink her health ; so one glass brought on another. The first wax enough, the second glass to) much, but the third was not half enough, so I drank away bumpers to the health of Queen Victoria and the rest of the Royal Family, and the honour of the nation, until I did not know what I was doing no more than the child unborn. Of course, his warship could not resist such an appeal, and ordered Mr. Waters to be discharged, and advised him to drink nothing stronger than his namesake for the future. THE L ADY WHO SPENT £7OO. A most wretched looking woman, named Catherine Corrigan, was charged by her blether, John M'Olone, with ,annoying Aim. The complainant said, he keeps a shop in Fontenoy street, and that he had been formerly in the army, and pur 2 chased hie commission out of it (?), and then he sot up a shop. The prisoner ;‘ , A,4 hie sister ; and some time ago she got married, and his father gave her £709, but from the moment the got it herself and her husband never we-e sober until they %rent the whole of the monev, and nearly killed his father. The latter now lives with him; and the prisoner comes to annoy him, and when he sees or hears her, he gets into fits. he went to the hoarse yesterday, and nearly frightened the Oa man to death. Shei was in jail two or three times for similar annoyances. The prisoner was sent to jail for a month 11 1 default of tintling securities to keep the peace. CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT. James Frame, late a collector in the employment of Mr. Hillewell, of Caet'e-street and Lime-street, was brought up by detective officer Carlyle, who arrested him in London, on a charge of having embezzled about £270 belonging to his em ployer. Mr. Wynn appeared for the prosecution. There were three charges brought against the'prisoner—olie for over £25, received from the North Shore Mills Company; Ms 3d from Messrs. Hudson, B rothers; and El 17s from Mr. Ellison, of Renshaw -street, although Mr. Wynn said the entire sums alleged against the prisoner was over 2270. Mr. Hellewell was examined, and said the prisoner was in his employment as Collector, and. it was duty to account daily for what money he received. He stated that tee three sums mentioned were not Paid over to him. The secretary of the North Shore Mills Drovei having paid the prisoner some of the sum mentioned ; _ _ and it was proves the other two sums wore paid t 3 theprisoner also. 11r. Wynn said the accounts were made very compli cated by the prisoner, and he rendered an account to Mr. in which he endeavoured to show that it was 'a tatter of account between the parties. There was, however, ZO entry of the three sums above stated in the each-book by the prisoner. The prisoner cross-examined Mr. Hellewell. 'With the view of showing that money was due to him for wages and commission, but the witness ✓ denied that he owed • V fl s ' money. The prisoner made a long statement, and was then remanded, but bail, in two sureties of £5O each, was * etepted for his appearance. (Before Messrs. AIKEN arid RANKiN.) PUBLICANS' AND BEERIIOUSE CASES. Catherine Owen, publican. Cunliff street, was summoned for doing business on Sunday. Mr. Bluck defended ; bat the case Walt proved, and it being the fourth offence, a fine of £5 was IMPosed. Thomas Williams, publ , can, Dawson-street, was charged for permitting drunkenness, bat the complaint was not proved, and therefore dismissed. Mary Remick, beerhouse-keeper, Haughtcn-street, was krarrioned for selling ale at illegal hours.---Dismissed. John Watson was fined ss. for Sunday trading. There were some other cases, but_quite void of interest. • _ LIVERPOOL COUNTY COURT.-YESTERDAV (Before W. A. MILTON, Esq.) IMPORTANT JUDGMENT. —ANDERSON v. BROOM. _ honour gave judgment in this case, which was tried On Friday last. Andersen had obtained judgment'. and a warrant against Broom on the 28th of March last. On the same day (but subsequently to the above judg tneat being delivered) Broom sold his goods to Mr. Turner, furniture-dealer, who removed the goods to his residence the same evening. The next day a bailiff aeized the goods under the warrant ; and Mr. Turner claimed them under the sale. His honour said,—Undee these circumstances the question is raised from what tim e we.e the goods bound in cases of execution out of the Coxinty Court. I have come to the consto,ion, though with difficulty, that they were so bound from the date of the application to the registrar to sign the warrant. At common law the execution against the tods had relation to the time of the awarding thereof; and therefore if, after the test of the writ of execution; the defendant sold his goods, though bona fide and for valuable consideration, they were still liable to be taken in execution into whose hands. soever they came (Bac. ab execution I.) This law, I think, applies to execu tions issuing out of the County Court. By the 45th .tetion of the recent act 19 and 20 Victoria, "An Act to Amend the Acts relating to the County Court," it is enacted that the precise time when any application Shall be made to a registrar to issue a warrant against the Roods of a party shall be entered on the execution book and in the warrant ; and by section 47 it is further enacted that when a writ against the goods of a party has issued from a superior court, and a warrant against the goods of the same party has issued from a County Court, the right to the goods seized shall be determined by the priority of the time of the delivery of the writ to the sheriff to he executed, or of the appli cation to the registrar for the issue of the warrant to be elecuted; and the sheriff, on demand, shall, by the Writing signed by any clerk in the office of the under tberiff: inform the high bailiff of the precise time of anch delivery of the writ, and the bailiff, on demand, %ball show his warrant to any sheriff's officer, and such writing purporting to be so signed, and the endorsement kni the warrant, shall respectively be sufficient justifica tinn to any high-bailiff or sheriff acting thereon. unless, therefore, these enactments are controlled by ether statutory provisions, it is clear that the effect of the warrant must have relation, as at common law, to t he date of the application to the registrar. Now, the c ommon law liability to which I have alluded here, has ertainly been contracted in some cases. By the Statute °' Frauds . 29 lar., c. 3, s. 16, it is enacted that no writ t 'f:fleri facias, or other writ of execution, shall hind the Pods, but from the time that such writ shall be delivered '4l the sheriff, under-sheriff, or coroner ; and by a recent 7 .et, 19 and 20 Vie., c. 97, this liability is further curtailed : 0 1' by the first section it is enacted that persons acquir -4 ; ng title to goods bona fide, and for a valuable consido tation before actual seizure shall he protected against Bers on writ of; fi tiifacias, or other writ of execution, if such Person bad not at the time when be acquired such title, 1 6tice that such writ had been de iveiel to and remained 4nexecuted in the hands of the sheriff, under-sheriff, ,or t aroner. Had these statutes been applicable to the case under consideration, it is certain that the claimant would )) ave been protected, ' for the goods had been sold even rote the writ had been delivered to the bailiff. alit with every inclination to extend to the e xecution the protection given by these statutes ant unable to say that they apply to this case. Inde pendently of the very peculiar langua g e of the last eeited acts, the pointed reference in the 46th section of 19 and 20 Vi e ., c . 108, t o th e s t a t u t e o f frauds, and the %%Illy pointed omission of all references to the provi siou s of the 19 and 20 Vic., c. 97, compel me to come to t r conclusion that a distinction exists between the two aes of warrants, and that the legislature has not t he the protection given by the statute of frauds to 19 and 20 Vic., c. 97, to cases where goods have be en seized under warrants of execution from the County ° arts. And this conclusion is not weakened by the fa ct that the County Court Act, 19 and 20 Vic., c. 108, ;later on the statute roll than the 19 and 20 Vic., c. ) though the two statutes received the Royal assent the same day. I must say, therefore, that the claimant t "' not protected as 'against the execution creditor and °ll sequently that his claim must fail. mns ov. MACDONALD.—Messrs.

THE CELEBRATION OF THE QUEEN'S BIRTHDAY: YAlrday being the anniversary of the birth of Her Majesty Queen Victoria, the day was observed by the Government employes as a public holiday. Flags wore hoisted upon most of the ships, and the usual business of-the docks was entirely suspended. At twelve o'clock a royal salute was fired from Her Majesty's Majestic, and at intervals dUring the day the bells. of the parish churches rang out their merry chimes. The various Volunteer corps of the town had intended to evince their loyalty by parading ih full-dress tiniforni,; but extreme wetness of the weather prevented this. being carried into effect. To the same cause, no doubt, is owing the absence of much out-door excitement, there being no particular celebration of the day among the shopkeepers. THE LIVERPOOL BOROUGH GUARD. This splendid body mustered:yesterday evening at 66, St. Anne-street, for the purpose of 'taking possession of that building as their storehouse. they . a ft erwar d s met at the festive, board, in - order to commemorate her Majesty!s birthday, when Capt. Mayer, of the Borough Guard, presided. The CHAIRMAN having asked whether they were all charged, and being answered in the affirmative, and by some saying " Yes,' and ready to fire," proceeded to propose - "The health of her Majesty and the rest of the Royal Family." He said he had to congratulate them on the manner in which the work was carried on ; and the first toast he had to .propose he was. sure they would drink with enthusiasm. It was that of our gracious Queen. (Prolonged cheers.) They lived under the best monarchy, the hest queen, and - the best government in the world--(cheers)—a.nd he would say the. head of that government was the best mother and woman that could he found. Her Virtues were so well known to them that he need say little more, but call on them to drink her health, for she has shown • herself so anxious about the volunteer movement that they may claim her as their'patroness... (Loiti cheers.) If her throne was threatened, it was their duty to defend that throne, and he was sure there Was not a man pre sent, who would not gladly endanger life and property, if called on, for his beloved sovereign. The toast was responded to with all the honours, the baud of the regiment playing the .national anthem. The next toast was " The Army and Navy," which the chairman prefaced with suitable remarks; and added, that although they were lovers of peace, yet, if they should he called on in war, they 'would be found ready to defend the .country. The, British character was one of peace; but if the people were driven to the neces sity, something tells us there are no- reen more ready for war. (Loud cheers.) When an Englishman took • the oath of allegiance, .. he was then • deter mined, and ready to do his duty; and there never was . a time when more glorious exploits were performed, as were witnessed in the last war with Rwssia, and the more recent events in India. (Applause.) The toast, was drank with great enthusiasm, to which Mr. REYNOLDS replied. He said he was proud, as a brother soldier, to reply to the toast of " The Army and Navy," but regretted it did not fall into better hands. He had first to thank them for the honour they had done him.. : He would only say that he had nineteen years' . . . . experience, not in actual war, nor in peaceable times for when he was in the yeomanry he had a great deal to do with home duty, and he believed, if necessary, the yeomanry were ready to do it again: (Hear, hear.) He was sorry to say, that being disabled in one arm, he could not join the ranks of the volunteers, for he did not like to be an honorary member ; but if they would net let him wear a bayonet, he would wear a sword, for he had young blood yet in his veins. It become every man in Liverpool to become a borough guardsman or a rifleman. Unity was -st reng th ; and if they were one body, they could defend themselves - on all occasions. He was sure no Englishman would stand back when called on. Mr..LEsyrs then rose to propose the 'Volunteers, and success to the movement. He said he had worked hard in the cause. and that it was the most necessary Organi sation they could have. They,saw other nations with large standing armies, and it therefore bectime them, as a-mercantile body of men, to protect . their homes and firesides. (Cheers.) He would say . n. 6 more then on the subject, but hoped, they would drink the toast with all the honours, as a great and glorious cause. Mr..ACKEN proposed the toast of the Borough Guard,. accompanied with Captain Mayer's name. The CIiAILMNN said he could assure them that he hardly knew what to say, for the flattering manner in which he.was named; but they may believe him when he said he felt most sincerely, their gnat kindness. His pursuits were very different frOm those of men of war. They were pre-eminently peacefUl ; and why it was that his fellow-townsmen . called on hiM represent them- - he could not say. He 'feared he would find it a very difficult thing to give up his old habits, but. he desired to -lend his aid to a -good cause, and as• long as God would give him life and strength he would do it. (Loud cheering.) It should not be for.want of mental or physical exertions, so far as - he could use - both, that the movement would halt,'for his heart 'was engaged init, but he felt that he was not now so young and strong as twenty yesrs ago, but he would, notwithstanding, work with unabated vigour and do everything in his power to promote the success of the Borough Guards. " The Press" was then given in a most complimentary speech, by Mr. Reay, of Church-street, which was responded to by the representative of this paper. A number of excellent songs followed ; and after a night of happy and festive meeting, the proceedings terminated. LONDON, May 18. The usual rejoicings took place this morning in honour of her Majesty's birthday. iivr Majesty held a drawing-room this afternoon. • Rain has fallen with little interruption during the whole day ; and the usual inspection of the Household Troops was postponed.

LORD BROUGHAM. AT EDINBURGH YESTBRDAY, - Lord Brolighairi was installed as Chancellor of Edin burgh T_Tniversity yesterday. There was 6. crowded attendance at the Music-hall, many hundreds being unable to obtain admission.` Lord Brougham having been formally introduced by the Solicitor-General to the 'Principal, Sir David Brewster, he took the chair amidst great cheering. The hohorary degree of Doctor of Law was then con ferred on the following gentlemen:—The Lord-Justice- General of Scotland; Professor J. Harney, London; Reeve, Dublin ; Dr. W. Allan Miller, London and Mr. Wm. Fairbairn, Manchester. Lord Brougham then delivered his inaugural address. After a brief and tthiching allusion to the teachers and fellow students of his earlier days, his lordship referred to the mutual advantages arising from the number Of students attracted to this university from all pirts of the world, and said,—While we . gather hints for our im provement freini others, we greatly benefit them, and the blessed, interests of peace are promoted by the natural tendency of men's feelings to look back with satisfaction upon their residence here and to cherish the remembrance of the lessons taught.: Thiis upon the memory of our nearest neighbours in Europe there will remain im pressed . the great proofs that popular rights can exist and be 'respected without the tyranny of the populace; that liberty does not necessarily degenerate into licen tiousness, and that abject slavery is not the only refuge from anarchy. Our kinsfolk of the new world may in after life recollect having known a • community in which a church is established without the existence of a single disqualification attached to religious belief. A community, in which the most enlightened and respectable citizens do not abstain from taking their share in public proceedings ; in which • the interference of the multitude with the administration. of justice is a thing u:sheard ot; nay, regarded as incredible ; and in which the irresponsible mob tyrant, the moment that one of his many hands appears, is at once put down by the ordinary action of the ' law: Above all, our American friends may reflect with satisfntion upon .having been educated in a City famous -for being the first to declare, by its judges, the great law, that slave'sletters fall from him the moment he touches- British ground. The natives of Southern Europe, but none such will be suffered by the despot to resort .hither ; and they must learn, without our instruction, if expe rience has not already taught them, the nature of a tyrant. - He then . urged the. nec'es'sity for select ing branches of study for especial criltivation, so as to avoid the tendency to • produce mediocrity in all. Lord Brougham then dwelt at considerable length upon the claims of • Greek oratory and the ancient system of analysis, to a fuller study then they obtained at present. On the selnetivoness of eloquent writing, .Lord Brougham said historians and political.reasoners —the instructors of the people--have ill discharged their duty, partaking largely in the allusions of* the vulgar, which they were bound to dispel; dazzled by the spec tacle of great abilities; still more of their successful exer— tions, they have hell up to admiration the wont pnenlieS of mankind. The usurpers who destroyed their - liberties, the coriperors who shed their blood—men who, in' • their pursuit of power or lame, made no' account of the greatest sufferings they • could inflict on their fellow creatureethe worst cruelty, the vilest falsehOod—bas not prevented the teachers of the world from bestowin g the Ua.me of Great upon these scourges. ;Instead of holding up to our admiration the pride, pomp, and circumstance of glorious ,war, it is. the the historian's chity .to make us ; regard with uncewinedelight, the ease, worth, and happiness of blessed. Peace. :He must remember, that Peace bath her victories, no less renowned than wars, and to celebrate these triumphs of scienca. and of . art, the extension • and security of freedom,,the improvement of national institutions, the diffusion of general prosperity, exhausting on Such :Pure and wholesome themes all the resources ; of his philosophy, all the graces of his style, giving honour to whom honour is due, withholding all incentives to misplaced interest and vicious admi ration, and not merely • by -general remarks on men and events, but by the Trimmer of describing the one and recording the other,• causing us to entertain the proper sentimentß whether or respect or interest or of aversion, or indiffaenee, for the various subjects of the narrative. • - [The telegraphic report of the rest of the speech had not readhed•us when'we Were'ebligei t., go to Ores; this morning. The whole speech, however, will be found in this day's Weekly - Times." ' , - MURDER IN SHOREDITCH. t r The body of a woman, named Hart, was discovered on Tuesday, morning •at No. 40, Philip-street, Kingsland road, under circumstances which leads to the supposition that she was murdered by a man named Radden. The detective police eontinued their exertions until two o'clock on Thursday in endeavouring to find Radden, but no clue whatever could be traced of him until about ten o'clock, when the body of a man .was . dragg e d. u p by .the towing rope 'connected with a harge which was being navigated through the 'Regeilt!s. Canal. It seems that at the time named several men were employed at Messrs. Garrard's coal whar4. Whitmore-road-bridge, Holton, when they saw the body of 'a man suddenly rise to the surface of the water . They raised an alarm, when deceased was got out on to the towing path. The deceased was not known at that time, and when taken out of the canal the hand; were found to be firmly tied. round with a• pocket, handkerchief, and the arms lying upon the breast, as if he (the deceased) had bound them. round to prevent his struggling and to hasten his death. A police-constable was called, and the deceased was placed woki- stretcher and conveyed to the dead house at the rear of the Shoreditch Workhouse, Kings land-road, where it was immediately identified as bet hg that of the murderer. The deceased's cap had been found floating in the canal some distance from the spot where the body was cliscoiered, and there is no doubt that he committed suicide by leaping off the bank near the coal wharf, which is easily to he reached from the mail] road: On 'Wednesday afternoon, about two o'clock, the brother of the deceased man (Radden) and several other relatives called •at the workhouse and identified the body. The police searched. the-pockets of the deceased, and the only things found were a clasp knife 'and a duplicate • of a silk handkerchief pledged for 3s. •on Monday last. On Wednesday afternoon, at three o'clock, Dr. Gay, of Finsbury-pavement, and. Mr. Clark, the medical officer of St. Leonard's, Shoreditch, proceeded to. the house Where the murdered woman had been discovered, to make a minute examination of the body, by order of the coroner (Mr. John Humphreys.) - The woman was still lying upon the bed as she was first discovered, upon the left side, in a pool of coagulated blood. The limbs were quite stiffened,. and .deceased presented a sad and sickening-spectacle. The blood from the wound had saturated . the bedclothes, and had passed through the sacking of the bedstead on to the floor, and thence had penetrated through the boards to the ceiling of the lower room. _ _ The opinion expressed by the medical gentleman is, that the deceased must have been murdered while fast asleep, and that the murderer had stood behind her, with his left hand over her mouth, while he inflicted the fatal injury with the right hand. The wound nearly severed the head from the trunk, and had penetrated the upper cervical vertebne of the .neck.• It would also seem that after the incision the murderer had with drawn the razor to the back part of - the head, as there were several spots of blood upon the weapon, which had likewise been placed upon the sheet behind the shoulders of the deceased, as • there were marks indicative of.the fact. The murderer must then have leant over the body of his victim, and - placed the razor in the deceased's left hand, which lay immediately by the front of the face.:. The right hand was firmly clinched, and covered with gore. The deceased must have bled very rapidly, and death must have been instantaneous, and she could not have struggled or made any noise. There were marks of blood- upon the chin, as if the murderer had held the unfortnnate woman's month. In the centre of the room was found a pail half filled with dirty water, where ie is supposed the murderer washed his hands; for close by the pail were feUnd a wet towel which bore marks of blood, and an old scrubbing-brush, which had been recently used. There was plenty of bread and other articles of fond in the cupboard, and the tea-thinzs were upon the table in the centre of the room, which would show that the murderer and his victim had taken- tea upon their arrival home. _ The police, and Mr. Waller, the summoning officer, made a further search of the room on Wednesday morn ing...and in a drawer they found a number of duplicates. and a County Court excution paper for a distraint upon the goods of the murderer. The deceased woman Was very respectably connected, and was , a hard-working, industrious woman, .clean in her habits, although the apartment where she and her paramour liYed - was.very poorly furnished. On Wednesday evening, at six o'clock, Mr. Sohn Humphreys, the coroner for East Middlesex, opened an inquiry at the Black Horse Tavern, Kingsland-road, Shoreditela, respecting the . death of Ellen Hart, aged 41 years. Martha Webb; of No:6, Holloway-grove, deposed that the deceased was her . sister. She was the wife of Charles Hart, a shoemaker, residing in Pearson-street; Kings land-road. Witness last saw her alive about twelve months since, and deceased had been separated from her husband ten years. Witness did not,know the cause of their separation, but deceased had been living with a man named Joseph Radden ' a journeyman pipemaker, for the laSt five years. Had never heard the deceased threaten to‘destroy, her own life. On Tuesday morning list, about two o'clock, the man 'Widen came to wit ness's house and knocked at the street door.

He was not sober, but he seemed able to get home. He then left,; and said, " Good niorning." The body of Radden had since been found in the Regent'S Cabal. - giralr Clark, of No. 40, Phillip-street, Kingsland rOad, Shoreditch, stated, that the deceased woman and Madden lived at her house as, man and wife. They occupied the front room on the first floor. Radden went ont.alone about 1 o'clock on Monday afternoon.

THE BADDINGTON PEERAGE : Wuo WON AND TKO WORE IT. A STORY OF THE Best AND THE WORST SOtIETY.. By• George Augustus Sala. In three volumes. London ! Charles S, Skeet, King William street, Strand. • The skeleton of this story appeared in weekly chapters in the columns of the Illustrated Mies from February to December, 18571 but t in the volumes . jdst published, the, author has clothed the skeleton with a little sounder flesh, the story having been ,Wholly recast, revised, and almbst entirely rewtitten. life* chapters have been hterpolated, discrepancies amended, exuberances pruned down, and many exaggerations and improbabilities got rid of. There is a great peculiarity in Mr. Sala's style of writing—p'quant, racy, pungent, witty and sarcastic. Take, for instance, his description of the following marriage : A FASHIONABLE WEDDING. _ _ One Tuesday, in. the month of November, - 1330, there was a grand wedding at St. George's, Hanover-square— so grand, indeed, that Mr. Scrattle, the beadle—that stern boy-compeller, with the large bright waistcoat— had not later than that Morning .expressed his surprise to Mrs. Mistfit, landlady of the. Silver Fish public_ house, that the parties about to be joined togetherin holy matrimony were not " titled folk ;'" for, as Mr. Scrattle observed, "the dressins was perdigious, least ways' like a lord (as there is two follerin, and a real lord the bridegroom's best man. looks), and the bridesmaids, which you could measure twice your harm on. their sleeves, lettin' alone 'ats with ribbing enough to set you up, mum, us an 'aberdasher's shop ; likewise more earridges as was seen since the day that Lord ViscoUnt Baddingtm—and a noble gentleman he was— . married Miss Truepcnny, ten years ago come Christmas." There was no possibility of 'mistaking the bride's carriage —it was so grand. It was a chariot with four grays ; and the whole' equipage may be emphatically characterised as " shiny." . For metal and glass, and rubbing and polishing, and rich, smooth stuffs, had been employed with so lavish a hand in that connubial caravan, that you could see yourself in the - window panes, the. panels, the horses' coats, the harness, the crimson jackets and brilliant tops of the postilions, their rubicund faces, white, fluffy, silky hats,• shining spurs, and glistening favours, the very rumble and imperial, and 'axle-boxes, even. Lord Viscount Badclington's carriage horses . were rubbing their noses against the rum bl e o f 'th e b r id e ' s ' chariot, sympathising doubtless with their noble owner, who was, at that very moment .of time, engaged in saluting the bride in the vestry. His lordship's carriage was sympathetic too. It had a gouty look : his lordship was afflicted with podagra. It was very yellow : his lordship's complexion Was that of an over-ripe shaddock. It shook a good deal : so did his lordship. It was very soft and luxurious, very warm and very lazy-looking, very lofty and quite empty; all of which the world (which I do not believe) said were characteristics of his lordship. -- • There was the carriage .of the bride's papa and 4 inamma, cosy arm, unpretentious, hitt wealthy-looking —0 ! quite Crcesns-like in yellowness. There was the private carriage of Sir William Guy, Baronet, of Old tress Manor, in the county of. Kent, and • member of Parliament for the borough of -Mayford, which imposing coach (plum-coloured; .turned up with scarlet). was not. on the present occasion (and for certain reasons) in the occupany of its proprietor, but.had brought to this most fashionable wedding, Compton Guy, Esq., the baronet's only brother, and a cornet in his Majesty's 'Horse Guards Blue. ' There was old Lady Tottringham's carriage, with the well-itiown pair of vicious black horses which fought with and. bit each other as they trotted ; the carriage was at every wedding- 7 nobody exactly knew why; and there Were half-a-dozen more carriages and chariots belonging to nameless •notabilities-,the "supers" of fashion, they may be called, whose principal occupation, it would scorn, is to be rich, and drive about leaving cards, and fill up the backgrounds at births, and deaths, and marriages, whenever fashion is born, or is 'Wedded, or buried, It had apparently snowed white favours during the night, so plentifully Were those tokens of bridal felicity displayed, on hats . and. jackets, in button-holes and horses' cars. Young girls in the crowd looked with a sniffing. roguish envy on those - satin rosettes, thinking, perhaps, how many cap-ribbons had been spoiled for the decoration of • grooms, and porters, and lacqueys ; thinking, perchance, _ how - agreeable it would be to.haYe a displary Of similar white favours at one's own wedding, instead of sitting up half the night in the milline r ' s stifling workroom, making them. The elements had been favourable to fashion on this joyful occasAan. There.was a November crimson fire ball in the heavens - like an- artificial firework that 'fashion could order and pay for; and the sky was of that reluctantly cerulean tint that resembles a rather yellow - muslin ivindo*Zurtaili through. Which the sun is shining,i But though pasSably fine overhead: there was under foot as rich a, stratum of good, thick, clingi ng mid as any covetous Crossing sweeper would desire to see and make a harvest by. There had been several political meetings of some low people called Radicals, during the past week-- , -fellows who wanted to be repre sented, or something of that sort, and were very trouble some; and the elements, again acting with fashionable high-Toryism, had come down upon the rogues with rain, and had so drenched then, that they had remained, perforce, in their squalid homes. Everything that Mr. Sala writes has a wonderful originality about it ; in fact, the powerfully depicted scene in this work, " Fracas in High Life," has caused great sensation in Belgravia. It was certainly a real incident ; but we are authorised to state that it has no application whatever to the noble family on whom malicious gossip has fitted the allusion. Mr. Sala evidently has studied the peculiar cha raateristics of niany of the fair sex, as the following extract will show : FEMINTNE BOUNCING. There is a process known in feminine warfare as " bouncing," which may be othetWise defined as a moral charge - of the female heavy horse: The strongest man will-draw :back when a lady "bounces" at him. Mrs. Falcon commenced her onslaught by that favourite movement. "I wish to know, Mr. Falcon," she asked, in a high, shrill voice, and "bouncing" as sbe spoke, "whether my house—our house, I mean—is to be turned into an hospital, 'a workhouse, a rag-shop, for all the vile drunken wretches you- may choose to pick off the streets ?" For all reply, her husband sat down at the further end of the table, and with a trembling hand, filled a tumble full of wine, which he drank greedily, moodily gazing at his wife meanwhile. "Will you answer me,Mr. Falcon ?" his wife con. tinned, in a yet higher, shriller tone. "Wh o i s thi s woman ? Where does she come from ? What does she want here ? Why does . your confidential surgeon, Mr. Fleem, come down to this room, and tell me I am not to seek admittance to the chamber where you have presumed to harbour her ? I demand to know. I insist upon knowing !" " The woman is dangerously ill," her hu.sbaud answered wearily, leaning his head on his hand. "It would be as cruel as unsafe to leave her. Ask your self—ask Mr. Fleem ! Besides," he added, more to himself than to her, "I know something of her." "Know something cf her !" the indignant matron retorted, and only, sok, seemed, restrained from bouncing bodily as well as morally at Mr. Falcon, by the inter position of some sixteen good solid feet of breakfast table between her and her spouse. "Know something of her ! I have not the slightest doubt you do. More of her than you ought to do. Enough to be ashamed of yourself for, lam convinced. But not hear it, Mr. Falcon ; either she leaVes this house,. within an hour, or Ido !" • - • " Will you hold your tongue, woman ?" her husband at the End of the table cried out, starting up from his seat so suddenly that the chair fell heavily to the '' ,, round. " Woman! hold my tongue ! This l ang u ag eto me ! to your wife! to the mother of your children! Ugh ! you wretch !" " Mrs. Falcon," the husband of that lady remarked, stepping as he spoke from the station be had occupied, and clasping one of her arms very tightly and very sternly, "I don't think, during the twenty years of Cur marriage, I have ever given signs of a disposition to ill-treat you ; but, by the Lord! if you don't sit. down in that chair and hold your tongue, except to answer my questions, I'll leave such marks on you as you,and I will both be sorry for !" There was that in his eye, his blanched cheek, his set lips, which gave indubitable proof that be was in earnest, and thoroughly so. The bounce was taken out of Mrs. Gervase Falcon at once- 7 -perhaps for good and all; and she sat down as she was desired, tacitly indignant, but quite obedient. The success that has -, always attended the emanations of Mr. Sala's fertile pen may in a great measure be attributed to their singularity. Every thing that he attempts is well done and neatly executed : even the very "copy" which is generally given to his publishers is closely, legibly, beautifully, and singularly written—a very uncommon thing for a popular writer such as George Augustus . Sala. In delineation of character, he is unequalled by any living writer. ZILLAH THE BETRAYED. Zillah' the betrayed was a flat-footed, shambling, Leaning-Tower-of-Pisa of a man, about forty, all askew, like that celebrated sample of architecture not quite right in its head. The top of Zillah's head was not quite right either, for it was fiat on the surface, with a round fleshy , nob like a dome dominating a city. You had frequent opportunities of remarking this curious feature - on Zillah's head formation ; for he (he was a he) continually taking off a hat with a rusty crape band to it, an d a brimquite vandyked with long fingering, extract a cotton pocket-handketchief literally snuff-coloured, for it had only the colour of the snuff wherewith it was impregnated, and wiping with it his face, which, though pale, was in a state of perpetual . perspiration. Desperately pock-marked was Zillah the betrayed, and the few tufts of hair he possessed, chiefly about the temples and the humps of the maxillaries., were in colour as' red as the foxes' of the' field. He bad a. flaming red nose, set amid s hi ps i n his face,--a nose that was a very cairn of crimson cherry stones, a very standard rose-tree of grog-blosiiorns. An a.pter simile might perhaps be found, were I to compare that rubicund truncated cone to a big beet -root set up on one end in the middle of a ploughed field, with twinkling little eyes on either side, like field mice eagerly watching, and anxious to nibble it. The attire of Zillah the betrayed was black in hue, but of the rustiest and most woe-begone. There were more button holes than buttens on the breast of his coat, though that garment was closed right up to the neck, and more pins than either. His trousers had "knees" to them. You know what -" knees" arc—unsightly protuberances and bagging of the cloth on the region of the patella, due somewhat to bad tailoring in prin. cipianz; hut more to long and unrelieved wear. They were terribly frayed roun the bottom edges ; and, from one leg of the trousers being much longer than the other, grievous cause for suspicion was warranted that the braces of Zillah the betrayed were in an abnormal condition. Zillah had gloves of brown Berlin ; but his fingers peeped through them. His hat above the rusty crape band was shiny enough ; but one skilled in such matters might have ,known that the lustre was due to thefriction of a wet brush. Zillah carried in that hat, by the way, besides the snuff-coloured handkerchief, a quantity of blue-wore foolscap. paper, wrapped up in a ragged neWspaper. Finally; from head to heel of him, soap and water were as evidently inimical to his habits a; everybody's enemy is said to be to holy water ; and there no more appeared about him, at his neck or his wrists, the sign of a shirt th an there appeared a sail during the first two days that Mr. Dibden's ship, name unknown, lay in the Bay of Biscay. Such was Zillah the betrayed. THE FASHIONABLE FOOTMAN. There stood in the mud—the vile plebeian mud—a shapely man, six feet in height, broad shoulders, beef asserting chest, lusty calves clad in silk, like pink balustrades supporting an architrave of plush. Large, glossy o protruding whiskers, wings to the calm edifice of his, face-‘-whiskers that an ambitions little foot-page rdight be tempted to lay hold of, that lad might pull himself up to footmanhood,—a good solid head, with plenty of front and plenty of back, and bushels of powder. White teeth, white glovee, white neckcloth, white favours, a delicate bloom on each cheek, a pensive but complacent smile, and the largest cocked hat that ever was seen since the lamented demise of his late Royal Highness the Duke of York. Such was the outward semblance of john, whose name might have been Peter, as he stood in his varnished, silver-buckled shoes, grrcefully reclining on his gold-tipped bamboo, and waiting for his masters and'mistresses to conk out of church. He had the mien and bearing. of a prince; yet who would have thought that this prince was not proud, but was in secret affable, and had, only five minute 4 since, condescended to cross the road with Tummas, his companion, and to partake at that thirsty " Silver Fish," of Geneva and cloves ? SARAH COLLETT, THE BEAUTY OF MALLOWS CRAY. Sarah Collett, the beauty of Mallows Cray, was the daughter of old Daddy Collett, the schoolmaster of the Cray. She was not a piquante beauty, a fragile beauty a beauty, the "irregularity of whose features was redeemed by expression ;" she was simply a most beautiful young woman, who " felt her life in every limb ;" who, but a step removed from the condition of a peasant, moved, and looked, and talked like a Queen who, reared among boors, was royally gtaceful, dignified, haughty; who, in fine, was one of those rare and perfect gems to be found oft-times in the oddest. humblest, plainest caskets, and which seem thrown there, hidden there, in SOT/ie sly caprice of nature, arid are brought forth to the world by times to be encircled with gorgeous settings and tributary jewels. The girl had no accomplishments ; for, with a won derful natural capacity, she was as lazy as she was beautiful. She could neither dance, nor play, nor paint, nor sing as those frivolities are un d erstood by the polite world; yet she would be quite at home in the boudoir of a duchess; and her little cottage keeping room looked like a palace-chamber as she sat in it. Fond of finery, she had few pence to purchase any, and went perforce plainly clad ; but the trashiest trinket shone on her magnificent figure as the famous collier might have shone on the wretched Marie Antoinette; and she had but to let her black hair down, to be enveloped in the mantle of an empress. The girl was proud, and vain, and passionate; and if she possessed any heart at all, it was as hard as the nether millstone : but . she simulated love—as the priests of heathen temples simulated piety—that she might have incense for her altars and offerings for her shrines. She might, under other influences, hare been a Semiramis, a Lals, a Phryne, a Dubarry, a Pompa dottr, a Vittoria Colonna, or a second Catherine ; yet she was but a schoolmaster's daughter. Mr. Sala has evidently made himself acquainted with some of the bights which may or might have been seen by him in this Tarsus of the World." The music hall described as the Apollo Belvidere will, we have no doubt, be recognised by our readers as alluding to an establishment in this town., APOLLO BELVIDERE MUSIC-HALL. It was a huge building, one of those overgrown places of miscellaneous amusement that you only find in a provincial metropolis. The windows were one blaze of light. Crowds of people were passing in and out : ragged boys, mechanics, sailors--English and foreign— cheap Liverpool dandies, and women in satin dresses, and bonnets covered with artificial flowers. The professor gazed at the exterior of the building with the stale and accustomed air of one biasW to the outside as well as the inside of places.of public amuse ment. He waited patiently in the dark shadow of the portico, till from a door adjoining the grand entrance — a humble little door always on the swing—there glided a female figure muffled up in some garment resembling a mantilla. And this figure, after a momentary pause, was swiftly but cautiously followed down the gas-lit street by Professor Jachinio: The entertainments at the Apollo Belvidere were varied, not very refined, not very edifying, but decidedly. entertaining. What more was wanted ? Mr. De Joskins understood the taste of the town, and catered for it skilfully. So, while the company at the two theatres were playing to empty benches, and the Mechanics Institute was falling into debt and decay for want of Members, the Apollo Belvidere was crowded every night. Ladies and gentlemen sang comic songs and duets ; sometimes (on gala nights especially) mounted on the backs of donkeys, or with geese under their arms. There were short comic interludes, panto mimes, and burlettas. All sorts of people danced all sorts of dances • pas seals, pas de deux, pas of as many choregraphers as Mr. De Joskins chose to engage. He had formerly been a clown t o a c i rcus ; had promoted himself to the lesseeship of a beer-shop ; after .an unusually successful bespeak, had riven to the great altitude of licensed Victuallerclom ; and so migrated naturally into some theatrical management. Recitations from the poets were to be heard at the Apollo Belvidere, also ditties cbaunted in the Liverpudlian crambo, and in Tim Bobbin's Lancashire dialect. Graceful youths of both sexes danced on spades, on stilts, in Highland kilts, in clogs, and in fetters. Professors of renown exercised elaborate hornpipes, amid diagrams of broad, swords, and mazes of eggs and crockery-were, all with out cutting their shins or breaking the eggs and tea things. There was a string-band and a wind-band at the Apollo Belvidere, a gorgeously-coloured and villan ously-drawn act-drop, and a glittering chandelier. There was a rock-harmonicon, a set of musical glasses, and a Church organ. Only nigger -dancing and singing, the bones and the banjo, walking on the ceiling and balancing on the perch. were amusements not intro duced from the United States. Between fifteen hun dred and two thousand people nightly patronised the Apollo Belvidere, where they smoked tobacco, drank stout, and runt and water, sometimes called for " Rule Britannia," and sometimes fought. The Apollo Belvi dere had formerly been a chapel, Mr. Sala in his travels turns everything-to account, as every good writer should do. It certainly is a great gift, and evidently shows that Mr. Sala makes the most of everything he hears and sees. His description of Liverpool is certainly not complimentary, but strikingly original. LIVERPOOL v. MANCHESTER. • Now, in those days, there was a great city of ships on the river Mersey, in England—a city which was vast and astonishing to look upon then, but which has grown inconceivably vaster and more astonishing in our own day. Once a marshy pool, the resort of that now fabulous wild-fowl the Liver, which stalked about on its attenuated legs in places where now are Custom House, long-rooms, and Exchange flags—where merchants, ship-owners, and cotton-brokers meet and chaffer over their money-bargains ;—once an inconsiderable seaport, m uddy and fishy, and to the "running" o f ' con t ra b an d cognac, and surreptitious silk goods much addicted ; then enriching and enlarging itself by a grim per severance in not the most reputable branches of com merce and industry in the world, snch as crimping, kidnapping, and especially slave-trading ;—theeinties! ai b rig n e t em p o rium of tride, famous among maritime unrepresented in Parliament, and in the municipal scale weighing not half so much as some mouldy little cathedral town in an agricultural county with the grass growing in its High-street, and an . enlightened con.; stittiency of sartorial and sutorial pot-wallopers, not half so much, perhaps, as Grampeund's dilapidated hovels, or Old. Sarum's ruined walls ;—and then at last Liverpool, twenty years since as now, Empress of Marts, sending forth galleons and caravels, hi-remes and tri-remes, to the uttermost ends of the earth—with its Tyae on the Lancashire, and its Sidon on the Cheshire coast;. with its acres of docks, its miles of ships, ships, ships, and still more ships ; its bursting bonding ware houses, its gabbling 'Change, its narrow lanes choked up with men feverishly, breathlessly, pursuing Mam mon ; its overflowing shops ; its merchant-palaces, crime-and-wretchedness -breathing cellars ; foundries, ship-yards, taverns, jails, wealth, squalor, magnificence, and dirt. In those days Liverpool had a sister (who lives and flourishes greatly to this day), called Manchester, living some five-and-twenty miles off. This -sister being as comely, and famous, and prosperous as she and the commencement of her splendour having been nearly coeval with her own, it was not unnatural that she should hate her heartily ' • a thing which occurs sometimes among brothers and sisters, made of quite, other materials than bricks and mortar. She contemptuously called her sister's sons " Manchester men," while her own offspring she denominated " Liverpool gentlemen." Her sister was not slow to retort. Liverpool having spoken slightingly of Salford, Manchester abused Birkenhead, (both sisters agreed in denouncing Warrington.) Liver pool said Manchester was grimy with smoke, and disfigured with cotton fluff. Manchester said that Liverpool reeked with the odour of tar and hemp, and that the blood of enslaved niggers cried for ven geance from beneath the very pedestal of Huskisson's statue. In truth the sisters were as reciprocally rude as the celebrated saucepan was to the kettle of prover bial philosophy :—not Tupper's. Their rivalry -was meteorological, too. Manchester gloried in having more rainy, and more dreadfully rainy, days than any other town under the sign of Aquarius. Forthwith Liverpool enlisted under the united banners of Leo and Seorpio - and while her sister drenched you with rain, she baked or broiled you with fierce sunshine. Not long ago there was a great stir in Church-stre,la and the various streets in this town, from the fact of a street Cicero announcing a great fight between Tom Sayers and the Benicia Poy for the 1w charge of a a'peny. Our attention, like that of the many, is often attracted by the manner in which such important anouncements are made. Such sights are now daily getting more uncommon from the fact that the cheap press is now fairly established, the, penny paper being now purchased by the million ; but the description of a street Cicero,- as given by Mr. Sala is most laughable and decidedly good. A STREE' CICERO. •He was n very ragged fellow„ this street Cicero, but his lungs were made of leather ; and thus ran his tale, continuous, if ever a tale were such " Hegstrawordinerry noose, hunpaaraliled and him petuous hescape from Noogate yesterday mornin' at a quarter past sevin "avin' took advantage of the plumbers and glaziers which was a whitewashinin' the yard hover against the sessions-'ouse lowerin' himself by a rope and runnin' along four houses, which the leads of one was found by. the pieruan, has stated in hevidence before the Lord Mayor and C ourt o f A ld ermen .

Many of our readers have witnessed, "we have no doubt, a bal masque, either in London or Paris; and ~_ ~. . , they can form for thems.lves an opinion on Mr. Sala's descripq.ve rebilitY-Z BAL MASQVE AT THE GRAND OPERA, PARIS. • A noise to which that of Vabel let lari,e would have been comparative silence—a howling, turielting, leaping, capering, struggling- mob —a tohte-bnliu eXtrategant sounds—a whirl of human beings of both sexes arraydd in every variety of incongruous costume—monks, cava liers, African kings, Itlingrelian princesses, Russian boyards, North American Indians, fisliivonien, &bar ileum and rit'botedotses, marquises, sailors, savages, ballet-dancers, contaelire; Pierrots,.: Eastern sultans, negroes, "John Bills," Jewish Rabbis, field-marshals, griffins, devils, quack doctorS, grenadiers of the First Empire, crusaders, men-at-arms, Punches, Nola retafres gril,HighlEinderg, trotthadours, heralds, gipsies, lazzaroni, Queen Elizabeths ' Henri Quatres, Exancois Premiers, court jesters, Robert Macaires, old women, and Robinson Crusoes, were all pent up-together in the expanse of the boarded pirferre of the AcarMitie Ilizpe tiale de Musique. But it is not to be assumed that the whole of , : the audience were in fancy dresses. A very large propottion—the ladies—were in variously-coloured dominoes : a still larger proportion—the gentlemen— were in plain evening dress, similar to the unpretending attire patronisA by Philip Leslie ; some wearing masks with lace fall bathes, as the' French call them ; others disdaining eves that transparent disguise, and walking about unconcernedly, as they would have walked about the saloons of the Tuileries, or the sky-blue halls of Almack's in. England. All the lobbies were full of maskers—not one of them tipsy vet, as their compeers at an English masquerade would have been two hours before; • but making far more noise over their goblets of lemonade and overbrimming bumpers of orgeat, kir frantic excesses of candied cho- Colate, and their Heliogabalian debauches of sugar plums, than any like number of Angle-Saxon Baccha nalians, already deep in their tenth tumblers of strong toddy, and ma ki ng th e i r m i n d s up now to steady drink - . ing. There were noisy girls and noisy young men. There was; gabbling, shouti ng , r o m ping, capering, joking ; and all this was thought to be dissipation, the wildest frenzy of carnivalic excitement. So a neophyte might have thought, and so many, doubtless, thought that night, ignorant of how readily, Sugar-and-water gets into French people's heads, and what a racking headache over-indulgence in barley -sugar will bring on the morn ing after. But so thought not certain Men with' tanned; yellow, tired features —men with loose wrinkles hinging flaccidly beneath their eyes and round their hollow cheeks—men in black suits; patent leather boots—irre proachably white,cravatt ed, faultlessly-white-kid-gloved; sometimes wearing moustaches, twisted, waxed, and beneath owphbneeelehn tomfo o le r ie s tar firvasoece, variously -co loured bste( singled uoou n or tutt e kg. ss d fei rlriedaypio t dap r amwie oeor i i mvhug n bohaes: t r ' yei t i pvefitd l theooweh p rondtetye e r irormorneciuetml' ill-disguised chn t dsee i ;ir e : ns treacherous a si ; frequentlyeia:sdndewddue,obiactgacpirt:noeyinssgeelleoyirm gliding pinn a utaa sg y enu i ck r dpr necks and figures ni instanter—menuut .rer theoerl rsv. ; ria a y n f d aii s y lip s p t e r d ick b eh its w o it f h p f a a p u e s r , o r n:gt i th i c a or d sft;i : lta h uss e t i ,lse r oell li tile r e n sfet d e s ,bo ;ef s tin q o o c gl . squeezed by o,es b b y hgl, oon l dv i d t eis t es l ,o e xnylbhfipuonetslglecilnyr blood -compelling irtei c ehp o n v iit e iwot r ita e tlys d we d rivalled ih4t of an English bull-dog. Our space will not permit us to do justice to the merits of this splendid novel ; but with one more extract, which we consider one of the best, we must con elude this notice— THE WIND ! THE WIND ! . . The wind! the wind! annitz vincj€ antor. So does the wind vanquish most things. It gets down your back ; it insinuates itself between the flesh and the `wristband of the tightest-buttoned glove ; It draws tears from the eyes and rheum from tho' corners of the mouths it makes the hair a torment and the cavities of the ear miseries ; it causeth the teeth to chatter, and the lower garments to Rap in an unseemly, manner against the benumbed calves ; it makes the nose to ache, and the bristles of the'newly-shaven heard to tingle, and evoketh . . crimson blotches, Unsightly to the eye; on the cheek bones ; it tieth knots in ladies' cap ribbons, and bloweth their bonnets nine bauble square, and sendeth hats away skimming, far away from human heads, baffling pursuit, injuring valuable property (the intrinsic value of a hat is immense, for it is the most difficult article in the whole wardrobe to obtain on credit), to the despair of the owners and the boisterous merriment of vulgar boys; it sendeth pungent dust up inflated nostrils. I hate the wind. it isia stupid leveller and irrational democrat; a ruffianly swaggerer, wrecking ships, smash ing the roof of the Crystal Palace, tearing the limbs off good old oaks, tumbling over established chimney-pots, and weathercocks hallowed by time, making doors and windows. to creak, howling in : an unearthly and doggish mariner, and exposing female ancles that should not he seen. I hate the wind ; it is a fool—grinding torn for it - knows. not whom, and inflating the lungs of other fools- to blow their own trumpets withal. I hate the wind for its levity; it is the lightest thing in the world, except a woman. Tliis bad witid had howled, and crooned, and whistled, and screeched, and gone on anyhow all day, playing the deuce aniong the poles for drying linen in lock gardens, making nurserymen at Battersea and Fulham clinch their fists, and , mutter direful oaths as . they surveyed their •menaced hothouses and cucumber frames, and generally trying peoples tempers, and disturbing domes tic felicity. Pinched children, with harsh stepmothers, had reason to rue that windy day. Apprentices were sore harassed by the working jewellers, their masters, and meditated fleeing from their indentures to islands where watches grew' on trees, and garnet brooches ran wild. Streets that had hitherto been hopelessly dirty were'blown quite'clean by the searching blast. Fallen leaves from the trees in St. James's Park were found high up in St. Martin's Lane,.Holborn-wards. Beg gars struggled up the streets under • a press, of tatters, and were compelled ever and anon to take in a reef in their rags. The patient cabhorses at the ranks bent their meek heads, and took refuge in well-sown nose-bags, where wind could not penetrate. The Jehus, their masters, crouched in rickety coffee-shops, into nhich the wind eddied fearfully, and blew tbeir . decoctions of burnt . beans into brown ripples. The policeman had donned his oilskin cape, though it rained not, arid the garment flapped and crackled like a dry leaf. Pipes would not keep alight, candles would not light at all, and if the sacred fire of Zoroaster had been kindled in Trafalgar Square, it would have gone out there and then. ' We cannot agree with Mr. Sala's friends, who state they consider "The Baddington Peerage" the worst of his productions. Whatever it may have been, as it appeared in the.eplurnns of the Illustrated Time. 5, we consider it, in the force published by Mr. Skeet,' to be one of 3ir.

The great development of commercial enterprise during the last quarter of a century, the concurrent progress of our numerous Colonies, the extension of our Mercantile Navy, and the large introduction of Steam Power in marine transport, have increased the 'property requiring protection against Sea Risks to an extent far beyond the means of insuring it. In fire and life insurance, companies alone are now employed ; and an increasing tendency to resort to them for covering sea, risks has long been manifested. In particular, when floating: cargoes are sold off the shipping documents, buyers invariably prefer the policies of a company. Every properly constituted and well-Managed Marine Insur ance Company hitherto established has prospered. Besides the three companies recently formed, five have long been in operation in London ; and with what success appears from the market prices of their shares. Those of the "Marine,", the one la:,1, formed, with £lB paid, now sell at £lll. Three of these companies also do tire and life insurance business; and it is remarkable that the two which take marine. risks only have been the most successful. There are no Marine Insurance Companies in Liverpool or Manchester ; and it is admitted that there are not in the locality a number of individual underwriters sufficient to effect the very large amount of insurances arising there. The Vessels entering a n d c l ear i ng out from the Mersey' already amount to a yearly total of nearly Five Millions of Tons, , each .way : and this tonnage is, and has been, for a eery long period, increasing at such a rate as to double itself every six teen years. It is estimated that the Premiums paid for insuring these Vessels and their Cargoes do not fall short of Three Millions Sterling per Annum ; and that the corresponding average. Profits exceed a Quarter of a Million. A quarter of a century has elapsed since the establishment Of the last of the Five Companies above referred to. During • this period the property exposed to marine risks, and insur able in this country, has increased to an extent which it is difficult to estimate with precision ; but of which the following figures, from the Accounts of the Board of Trade, will afford some idea The declared value of Exports of the Produce and Manu factures of the United Kingdom was— In 1834 • £41,649,191 In 1844 58,584,292 ' In 1854 97,184,726 la 1859 130,440,427 Showing in this branch of our Export Trade alone, during the last five years, an average annual increase of upwards of six millions and a half sterling. ' Of the. value of the Foreign and Colonic! produce exported from this country •no account was taken till 1854. In th it year the amount returned was £18,648,978. In 1858 it was £23,174,0'24: showing an average increase of more than one million sterling per annum. The Shipping clearing out with cargoes from the Ports of the United Kingdom, in the Fortin and colonial Trade alum , had an aggregate burden— .......-- In 1831 of_ 2,185,099 tons In 1841 of 5,297,168 , In 1851 of 9,317,721 ~ In 1859 of 10,242,624 ' , Showing an *increase to nearly five-fold in the last Twenty five years. Again the Shipping cleared out from tritish ports in the Coasting Trade, which in 1631 amounted to 1.0,33 ►,243 tons, had in 1839, notwithstanding the transfer of much of this trade to our railways, increased to 16,509,471 tons. During the last ten years, a.very luc••ative field for Marine Insurance has been opened by the immense increase in the importation of the precious metals into this country. and their exportation to other parts of the world. In 1833, the Bunion Trade, so far as it appears in the Official Returns (which take no account of the largo parcels of cold passing by private hands), had risen to the amount of £72,758,959. ty calculations based on these and Other accounts of the Board of Trade, it appears that the Field of Marine Insurance is extenclinz at the rate of at least Fifteen Miliions Sterling per Annum. Our commerce having thus largely outgrown the means provided for its protection against maritime risks, it has been determined to, form the Thames and Mersey Company, with a Board at each of the three great centres of our commerce, so as to afford, in each locality, the same facilities for the imme diate transaction et business on a large scale. These facilities will, by combining the operations of London and Lancasnire, extend the basis of Average, secure a eorres pending increase of sta'aility, and proportionately improve the prospect of return from the capital embarked. A very lucrative business which has hitherto been diverted into other channels, and imperfectly transacted, will be thus retained in the localities to which it naturally belongs; while Insurers resident in these Districts may, by becoming Share holders. secure for themselves a portion of the Profits' which n,m, pass into other hinds. • The Directors have spared no exertions in securing the services of thoroughly competent and experienced Under Miters and other Officers. Vail Parliament shall extend to Insurance Comp an i es the privilege already grantsd to every other description of •loint Stock Company, the PolicieS will, in accordance with the loag established practice of the London Offices, be so framed as to limit the liability of each Shareholder to the amount. of his Shares. Applications for Shares must be accomp inied with a Banker's receipt for El per Share, in part paymeA of the Deposit of Z 9 per Share. Should the amount so paid exceed £2 per Share on the number allotted, the surplus will be returned; but if it falls short, the balance must be paid on Allotment, or in default the Allotment will be cancelled. If no Allotment be made, the Deposit will be returned without deduction. Applications for Shares, (in the form annexed,) may be sent through any of the Bankers or Brokers to the company : from whom copies of the Prospectus and forms of Application may be had: May, 1960.
