FAREWILL ADDRRISRES TO MR. lIAXIITIELD, AT
Livgite.:ol —Mr. Mansfield, having sat fur the last
time in the Liverpool Police-court on Tuesday last, pre-
vious to entering upon his duties as stipendiary magis-
trate in Worship-street, took a farewell of the officials
connected with the court, the attorneys. Lc., of whom
he spoke in feeling terms. Afterwards there was a
nunitrous attendance of members of the legal profes-
sion in the library, St. George's Hall, for the purpose of
presenting him with farewell addresses. Mr. .J. B.
Aspinall, on behalf of the bar, assured Mr. Mansfield
that they viewed his retiteinent front the town with
deep regret, having often had occasion to admire his
conduct as an administrator of justice. Mr. Dodge,
chairman, of the Liverpool Law Society, then read •
revolution which had been passed at a special meeting
of that body unanimously expressing similar sentiments.
Mr. Man-field, in reply, seemed deeply affected, and he
matured them that the kindness which he had received
Irons both branches of the profession would never be
forgotten by him. He then dwelt at some length upon
the extent and nature of the business which was trans-
acted in the Liverpool Police-court, and argued for the
necessity of • second stipendiary magistrate.
THE ORLEANI4 FAMILT.—A few days ago the Doc de ,
Nemours, the Prince de Joinville, and the Due d'Au-
Male visited Edinburgh for the purpose of making inqui-
ries as to the suitableness of the educational institutions
there for their youthful sons. The result of the visit
was, that it was arranged that the Due d'Aleneon, second
eon of the Due de Nemours, the Due de Pentliiiivre, or.ly
son of the Prince de Joinville, and the Prince of Conde,
eldest son of the Due d'Aumale, eliould be placed under
the hid of Dr. Leonard Schmitz, rector of the High
School, Edinburgh, who had the honour of being chosen
As one of the preceptors of the Prince of Wales during
hie recent stay in Eslinburigh. On Monday night the
Prince de Joinville and the Due d'Aumale arrived in
Edinburgh with the young princes, who were ACCOIII-
- by their private tutors—namely. M. Joley, M.
Gautier. and If. Bonverat. The Comte D'Eu, eldest son
of the Doc de Nemours, is about to join the Spanish ex-
pedition to Morocco.
DESPRRATI BURGLARY IX YORRIIIIIRIL—Abont 2
o'clock on Sunday morning week the residence of the
Bev. J. Winn, Nappabouse, near Askrigg. Welisley-
dale Yorkshire, was entered by burglars. and the sum of
£2l or Eli, wrapped in an old black kid glove, was
carried off. 'I lie house stands in a lonely spot about a
mile from Askrigg, and nearly the same distance from
the high road leading to the town. The inmates at the
time of the burglary were the Rev. .1. Winn, his house-
keeper, and • boy about 12 years of age. They were
aroused from their sleep at the time stated by bearing
a noise camel by two men ransacking the house. Mr.
Winn immediately arose and encountered the men, one
of whom was anneal with a bay-spade, and threatened
to take his life if he did not instantly deliver up his
money. A scuffle ensued, in the course of which the
rev, gentleman received a revere blow on the head, and
I ell down in a state of unconsciousness. Having ob-
. . .

tamed the money, the men made their escape by leaping
from the staircase window. The two servants had
already left the house, and an alarm IVILA speedily given.
The police were acquainted with the facts, and a large
number of young men from the neighbouring town and
villages offered their services to assist in capturing the
burglars. The surrounding country was ranged during
Sunday by the police, and also by numbers of but
horsemen and footmen, but the men had not been ar-
riAted. They were traced by the police to Richmond,
and a waistcoat marked with blood and having two
razors in the pockets was found near Leyburn Shawl.
Men answering the description of the thieves were Been
at Reiltuir at an early hour in the mourning, and from
the knowledge which the police possess of one of the
men, for whom they have for some time been watching,
it is highly probable that the thieves will soon be in
custody, and meet with their deserts. The men are des-
cribed as of the middle stature, but both were disguised
when c 1111 l emitting the burglary. and wore caps. The
taller f the two wore a rounded jacket, light trousers,
and " navvie " boots. It is very remarkable that a
burglary was committed in the same house about six
weeks ago, for which two men had been apprehended by
the police; one was liberated, ane the other committed
to York for trial. They obtained 1.-15 on that occasion,
on which three men were engaged; and • very strong
probability exists that at least one of them was con-
cerned in the burglarious attack on Sunday morning.

CohoNixt. PROGRESS AND Oho COUNTRY IMPULNTS.
--We have always traced with pleasure the sympathetic
feeling that has existed between our own mother-country
and the more juvenile portion of its family, the
colonies, more especially those of the Western Hollis.
phere ; as the progeny invariab'y imitates the example
of its parent, NO In we find it with our foster-children
north of the American frontier, only with this differ-
ence, that they appear of late years to have almost
" stepped into their parent's shoes" prematurely, and
letting go the leading strings, fearlessly walked alone.
This is evincible in various ways, to wit; the almost
simultaneous advance in every branch of science and art,
and the illdiCiOUS adaptation to their own purposes of
the best awl most sterling inventions and discoveries
that owe their origin to Old England itself. In nothing
has this been more prominently exemplified than the
adoption almost as " with one voice" of the remedies of
Professor Holloway, the pills for the internal. and the
ointment for the external diseases of the body ; no
sooner were they ushered before the world from their
focal point of origin, 244 Strand, than they became with
unanimity the household medicines of Canada and the
British provinces, and being especially adapted to the
settler's wants, being the physician of the backwoods-
-1111111, in rtgions where the medical practitioner and the
medicine chest was unknown, they naturally became
the only "beacon fires" of health for the sick and suf.
fering in their new home in the far off west. We learn
from statistics in the possession of Thomas Holloway,
that the first settlers sent out to the Grand River by the
New England Company in ItCr2.3 were required to pro-
vide themselves with a household medicine of their own
choice. 'lids, we need scarcely add, was soon made, and
Holloway's two peerless, but simple remedies became the
never-neglected items in the early emigrants' store. As
communication across the Atlantic became more open
and frequent, no sails were set for America without
some portion of the cargo containing a good supply of
these healing medicaments, and we understand that it
is their unprecedented demand in British America that
led to the establishment of a depot for furnishing that
market, at New Turk, 11l being the most convenient
point for transmission and supply. Success say we to
this noble enterprise, which. simple in itself, is benign
in its influences, and has become giant in its operations.
The name of Holloway will be known in after ages as
the watchword of health, when Abernethy, Harvey,
I dewier, and Astley Cooper are forgotten.
