The arrangements made by Yr. Barrett, the worthy
host, were admirable, and raised great credit on his
catering skill. The weather was unpropitious, but not-
withstanding this draw-beak, every prenarstion was
made by the villagers. Arabes of evergreens were
erected, trees planted, and lap and bunting hung to
thick array. The bells of the parish church sent forth
their merry peals, and, in fast, everywhere their mani-
festations of the love and respect the worthy baronet is
held in by his tenantry. The room in which the dinner

--Sir P. FT. P. Amain then g "fl. Health
of the Bishop and Clergy of the ." Hs said they
were most fortunate in having so exaellent &dilemma
as they at present possessed. He was case at those who
was ever zealous in his duties—who gave his whole mind
and energies to his high and noble oiling. They also
a no lets noted body of clergymen, who were
not only ever active and 'salons over the interests of the
sob committed to their charge, but who also attended
and watched over the schools of the distriet, and who
were always to be found where good could be anion-
pliabed by their presume. They were as a body, men
who lived in the hearts of their parishioner', the
active and zealous dishing* of their many atlas.
(Applause.)
Rev. R. Pon said he rose with much pleasure to
return thanks for the toast which had been so highly
honoured. It was • pleasure at all times to meet
together, but more especially on such an occasion as
that. They had met together for the purpose ef con-
gratulating Sir Peregrine on the recovery of the property
of which he held a life possession. It was an occasion
which ezeited admiration of Sir Peregrine's character—
in which he showed his love end affection towards
his darling child, who had been near the pave. But
he had rescued her, and be would now go down to his
grave with comfort and sOnfactios of knowing that
he had rescued and handed down in its right channel
the property which had so long been (the hereditary
right of the family. It was also an honour to the family
in general, and be therefore begged to congratulate
them on the event. Wu Peregrine, would hays been
willing, for his own part, to have remained as he was;
built was his love to his child that had prompted the
act He begged also to congratulate Sir A. A. Hood
on meeting with such a partner as Lady Hood, who was
one of the best of wives, and a most tender and affec-
tionate mother. He hoped Sir Peregrine would live
many years to enjoy the property, and then his demean-
dots slier him. (Applause.)
The Citrannan said his friend, Mr. Pope, had rather
taken the staff out of his bands in straying from the
subject of the toast to which he rose to respond. He
would congratulate Sir Peregrine on the event which had
called them together. No sooner had Sir Peregrine
obtained the possession of the ;nowt , than a feeling
of joy ran through the whole neighbourhood. The
property had been rescued, and he hoped Sir Pere-
grine's lineal descendants would prove to be chips of
tin old block, and follow in his steps. He had known
Sir Peregrine for nearly 40 years, and a most friendly
feeling had existed between them, such a feeling as
ought ever to exist between a manor and a nom*.
Time, however, bad for • period parted them. The
tenantry of Mooney end its neighbourhood
dated the advantage of having a good and kinda=.-
lord. Sir Peregrine was one who wee ever ready to
hear any complaint and remedy it, and he was looked
up to as a friend and adviser in everything. He hoped
the example now set would not be rent asunder in suc-
ceeding generations, but would be respected as Sir Pere-
grine was. They derived greet advantage from his open
band; Owes always willingto sidle parachialexpeoso
The laity, too, had him as a friend, as his name wee ever to
be seen on their various anbooription list.. All the
sterling qualities of • good old English gentlemen were
combined in Sir Peregrine, and when he was called hence
he would depart with the consolation of Raving boo-
fitted his fellows, helped the poor and needy, and re-
sumed a property which he hoped for many years would
be the hereditary of his lintel descendant& (Loud

Sir P. ACLADD, who on riving was vociferously
cheered, was visibly affected. He said it was not long
since,by the kindness of Mr. Groves, who was in the en-
tail, that be had an offer of minibus of Use reversionary
right. It was • credit to that gentleman for giving him
such an opportunity,mid it badbappenadtbatbehadbeen
enabled to do so in • very short time. His lineal des-
cendant* would now be enabled to reside Mere after be
had quitted thia life. It was gratifying le him that •
property, which had been in the family for so many
years, sod Which he was ones bed to suppose
would have ever been • family property, had now
been rescued. That gratification bad also been shown
by the tenantry present, and they had invited him to
dinner as a manifestation of their feelings. It was •
=7to him to see Sir A. A. Hood also present, he
;:e second person in the drama. It would go
forth to the world that they had given him such • re-
ception that day. What they had done would come home
spin to themselves. He had the gratification of know-
ing that he had acted right in whet he had done, and
the pleasure was being reflected back to him. With
regard to his partner, who was gone hems, what • joy
it would be to her could she now behold what had
transpired. It was not for him to say whether the de-
ported know, or could look from the upper realms;
but what a joy it would be to her could she do so and
enter into our feelings. With raped to his daughter,
she was • dear end good child, who had been 1=
up by • mother with all the love Dad tenderness a
could bestow- and though she had had troubles, which
were also a trial to him, he had submitted with resigna-
tion to the One above who had sent them. The new 100••

Sir A. A. HOOD said he was sorry that it bad fallen
to him to address them on that onasies, as it was one
of the meet Matti politicos in which he could
Ez*.bly be placed. With regerd to lady Hood, he
to thank them for the way in wlilth she
her father bad been epees of. She had felt grief o
him while seeing bora*, ones running over the park,

it woo of no matter, as they had am* of
this world's comfort* ; end they sometimes thought too
much, as they were while on earth mere @tower& for
those who may come after them. With regard to Sir
Peoples, he had learnt to love him ever since he Wa-
nd( was three years of age, and he had been more like
a father than • father-in-law to him. It had been said
that" The evil that men do live after them, and their
good actions are buried with their bones;" but he con-
sidered that that good which men do lives after them,
and their evil deeds were buried with them; for he was
sure Sir Peregrine's good deeds would never be for.
_Men, and his memesy would be immortalised. He
had now the pleasure of seeing him in the enjoyment of
his ancestral rights, and was pleased to be present on
such an eventful occasion. Amongst the people of
England • strong feeling of attachment by tenants to a
good and kind landlord ever showed • prominent
feature, and that feature folly developed itself in
[Howley and Stepney among Sir Peregrine's tenantry.
If the same feeling white had always been shown by
Sir Peregrine to his tenant' be shown by his deecoodants,
they and their children would pin the same respect.
(Long and °outlined cheers.)
CHAMMII then proposed "The Army, Navy,
and Volunteers." They lived in an ago of new ae-
eoveries,bst he sow nothing that equalled the pleat
and metal of England's army. The navy was now in •
stake of tramition, but they had spirits which nothing
would daunt. There was • pest talk about our iron- I
clads. British sailor* did not want to stand behind
iron-clads, they liked to COMO boldly forward as in the
days of Nelms, and meet the enemy face to face.
Mitsailors liked to be near enough to shake hands

barbarity was broiled before Warn. H. G. flimsy,

of Somerset. Sapsrintaudsot Goldsmith, of the

From the evidence given t appeared that when the
email entered the service she was to restive ES aiser.
but had only received Ss., attar Wag there alai mouths.
When able to do her work bar master and mistress
treated her with some consideration, but when she toll
ill their conduct was marked with extreme brutality.
On one occasion, when ill in bed, her master rubbed her
nom and mouth in matter of a most offensive des=
On other occasions, when ill, the masker and
sent • man servant to her bedroom, who poured
buckets of water over her whilst in had. On another
oseasion her muter tied her by the hands to a
beam in a diesse-house, from whence she was
ultimately released by a daughter of the defendsate.
On a third occasion, when she could not turn • chime,
her master threw part of a bucket of water over her;
and on another occasion, when she could not work,
he kicked her brutally several times. The crowning
sot of all was onnaeitted by the female prisoner, who
forted portions at • honeycomb containing bees into the
poor creature's mouth, and revelled in the writhinga of
the sufferer as the bees stung her. The Bence acquitted
the female defendant, the evidence against hernot
being coolirmed,!and charitably behaving that she third
under the influence of bar husband. With regard to
the male defendant they expressed their horror of his
barbarous condo.* in the strongest possible tonna.
Th. Chairman (Mr. Ifoysay) said the &soh felt they
should not be doing their duty towards the
unlsrt-
nate creature who had been so brutally ill-traded, or to
the public if they did not visit the offence with con.
digntniakment. It was not their intention to visit
the offence with a pecuniary Ina, but, in order to mark
their seam of his atrocious conduct, they should order
him to be imprisoned in the common gaol for six
ealcodar months, and daring that time to be kept to
hard labour. This announcement was received with
loud applause, and had it not been for the protection
of the polio. it is doubtful whether the defendant would
have reached the gaol alive, so inveterate were the
the Wide, especially tho women, wind hen.

BRISTOL —II2I.4IICROLT SUICIDE It • Bet AT TIM
Harwri.ca.—On Saturday firming • suicide of • shock-
ing character was perpetrated at the HotweEa, by • boy
named Samuel Andres, between 12 and 13 years of
age. It appeared from the evidence adduced at the
Inquest, which was held on Monday morning at the
Adam and Eve Tavern,_ Hope Chapel-bill, that the de-
ceased was the son of lathe Andres, • touter chimney-
sweep and wheel-chair proprietor, residing on Hope
Chapel-hill. The deceased was • very good and indus-
trious boy, but had been much affected some two months
ego by the loss of • brother, who was drowned through
jumping overboard from a steam-tug. Sinai then he
had seemed in a very desponding condition, but on
Saturday went about his work as usual, though his
mother noticed that his appetite both at dinner and tea
was very bad. About six o'clock he went upstairs to
his bedroom. Nothing was beard or seen of him by any
one in the house for about two hours, when on his
dater going upstairs and into the room, she was
horrthed to god her brother hanging by his cravat
to the bedstead. When discovered the body was in a
nearly horizontal position, the feet resting on the door,
and the hands nearly touching the ground. The mister
at once raised an alann, and Mr. SWIM, • neighbour,
ran in and cut the deceased down. He was then quite
cold, though not stiff. Mr. Paaamore, Mr. Crichton,
and another medical man were called in and tried to
bleed the body, but their ,services were unavailing,
death had evidently taken place for some time. There
had been strotur rumours current in the neighbourhood
that the deceased had been driven to commit suicide by
the ill-treatment he received at the hands of his father,
and the facts were minutely inquired into by the
Coroner and jury, but there did not seem to be the heart
foundation for any such imputations. The jury returned
• verdict to the effect that 'The deceased was found
hanging in his own bedroom, and the jury are of opinion
he hung himself, being then and there an infant under
15 years of age." They exonerated the father and
, mother from all blame.

REDLYNCH.—HILAICHOLT SOICIDL —An inquest
was bold by Mr. Wilson at ItedSili on the lit instant
on the body of William Good , aged 68 years, It
appeared that the deceemal been in the army for
27 years, end was In reeeipt of • pmion of Ha 7d.
a. week. He had been low spirited for three or four
months peat. On Friday morning about six o'clock
hit wife heard him go down stairs, and thought be had

and sent her to look for him. On going into the

Crdoklinl sa
in the well she saw him there. He was got out
as giddily as possible, bet We was extinct. The jay
returned the nudist that he drowned himself in a 68 01
ternpormy insanity.
