NOTES OF THE WEEK.

Among the casualties which have taken place
during the peat week, there are two or throe
that call forth a passing remark. Ever since
Blondin performed his daring feat of crossing
the Niagara on a tight rope, the world has been
full of Blending and spurious Blondins, Leotards
and sham Leotards, acrobats, tumblers, posture
masters and contortionists, male and female.
On Thursday last one of those persona, who risk
their lives for the amusement of a Christian
public' met with an horrible accident at that
place of resort known as Highbury Barn.
On the day referred to, a fête was given in the
gardens, and to give additional eclat to the enter-
tainment, a Miss Young, the female Bloudin,
who created so groat a sensation at Cremorne
Gardens last year, and who performed the daring
feat of crossing the Thames, was engaged.
About ten o'clock at night she ascended the
stages connected with the rope, which is about
60 or 70 feet high, and by the aid of blue fires,
and attired in a suit of armour, proceeded on
her perilous voyage in mid-air. She reached the
eastern stage in safety, and again returned,
performing the feat of wheeling the
barrow a third time. She crossed
the rope covered with a sack, and then
commenced her final tour to the starting point
in the midst of fireworks discharged from each
end of the balancing pole she carried in her
hands. She arrived within about 20 feet of the
western stage, when the Catharine wheels at
each end of the polo had reached their greatest
velocity, and at which moment reporte were heard,
and stars of various hues were emitted. At this
instant it was plainly observable that there was a
fearful oscillation of the pole, as well as of the
unfortunate performer. A general cry was raised
that she was falling, and the pole fell from her
grasp, and she toppled over. For a moment or
two she hung to the rope either by her hands or
legs, and then, amidst the horrors and shrieks
of the spectators, fell heavily, headforemost, to
the ground. It seems a miracle that she was not
killed on the spot; but she still lives, although in
a very precarious state. Hitherto, two of the most
renowned mountebanks known—Blondin and
Leotard—have been fortunate enough not to
break their necks; but to learn on any day that
such a catastrophe had occurred would surprise
but few. The tumble-down period would ap-
pear now to have arrived. On the very night
Miss Young met with her accident, the circum-
stance was communicated to Leotard, while per-
forming in the Great Hall at Highbury Barn,
and so much affected him that he turned pale,
missed the handles of the centre trapeze, and
came down on the platform beneath, fortunately,
safely on his feet. A few nights since another
trapeze-performer "missed his tip" at Canter-
bury Ball, and was precipitated on to the
chandelier and horribly injured. We pride
ourselves in the progress we have made of late
yean in intellectual progress and civilization.
We have established homes for homeless dogs,
passed laws for the prevention of cruelty to
animals, and can affect to regard with horror
and disgust the taste of the Queen of Spain who
can look with complacency and delight on a bull
fight. Our tastes are more refined than those
of our forefathers, or even of our continental
friends, but we. in order to afford "amusements
for the people" at a shilling a head, en-
courage constructive suicide, by bribing a fellow
creature to undertake some break-neck feat on
a hempen cord, !whereby he or she is rendered
liable at any moment to be ushered into
eternity. _ . .

A fire, which was unfortunately attended with
the loss of three lives, broke out in ODO of the
stately mansions of Cumberland-street, near
Hyde Park, on Thursday last, about an hour
after the whole of the inmates had retired to
rest. A policeman on the beat seeing a glare of
light in the lower part of the building, but
before he could arouse the inmates the fire had
seized on the staircase, and ant off all means of
escape except by the upper windows. Two fire-
escapes were speedily on the spot, and the terri-
fied and screaming servants and some other
inmates were fortunately rescued. Mrs. Bar-
nett, an invalid, was taken from her bed; but
Mr. Barnett, the proprietor of the mansion, who
went in search of two of his daughters, was,
with them, unfortunately lost. The house itself
was completely gutted, and the furniture, pic-
tures, and works of virtu, worth many thousand
pounds, were destroyed. When the flames were
extinguished, the bodies of Mr. Barnett and his
daughters were found, shockingly burnt, and,
of course, quite dead. Shortly after this occur-
rence another fire broke out in the house of a
tobacconist, in Old Kent Road. Mr. Burgess
was aroused by a parrot belonging to him, crying
out, " Master l master I" The inmates were
fortunately saved; but the parrot, which was
probably the means of their salvation, was burnt
to death. Poor Poll deserved a better fate.

The Garibaldian movement still goes on at
Turin, Naples, and other parts of Italy, and it
is said the South of France has caught the
infection. Two ticket porters of Nice have been
arrested for crying "Viva Garibaldi." At
Marseilles the Garibaldi hymn has lately been
-
sung in the casinos and public gardens; but by
a sort of understanding with the authorities,
the words being changed. The refrain of that
national song is, "Out with the Foreigner,"
and, of course, as long as the Emperor is pleased
to stick to Rome, it will not do to sing the words
in France.

Our readers will rejoice to learn that Sir
George Grey, after investigating the case of the
convict Flood, has been enabled to advise Her
Majesty to extend her royal mercy to the un-
happy culprit, and that his sentence has accord-
ingly been commuted to penal servitude for life.
The circumstances of his case were melancholy
and pitiable. Be was a man of good character,
and honoured with a badge of it, and pro-
bably on account of that very good conduct he
was marked out for punishment by comrades of
a different stamp. The mail he shot bore a very
indifferent character—a bully, who seems to
have marked out Flood especially for annoyance.

There was in the regiment, the 18th Hussars, an
abominable mockery of justice in the shape of
mock court-martial. Flood had more than once
suffered the pain and degr.idation of these un-
authorised punishments, and the stripes his
comrades bestowed on him Mere given for his
not falling iuto their bad ways.

DORCHESTER.—PrICHED CORN MARKET,
4aturday, August 16.—The attendance was season-
ably good. The new samples of wheat were of
good quality, but none ready for the miller. An
ADVANCE Or ONE SHILLING per quarter on wheat
was readily obtained, and barley W9A also one
shilling dearer. Oats were very firm in price, and
generally held for an advance. The wet weather
mimed some farmers to ask several shillings per
quarter more than late prices.
PLAYING CARDS.—The new law with respect to
playing cards comes into operation on the let of
September next. Bitherto the maker of cards only
has been required to take out a license, but under
the new law every seller of playing cards must take
out a 2s. 6d. license, or subject himself to a penalty
of £2O.

DORSET ANNUAL RIFLE COMPETITION. The
prize shooting of this association will come off at
Maiden Castle on Tuesday and Wednesday neat.
As will be seen by an advertisement which appears
in another column the .£l2O subscribed for com-
petition by the "All Comers," will be divided into
eight prizes instead of two, as previously announced.
We have no doubt this alteration will meet with
general approval, especially as the best shots do not
always obtain the best luck.
STEP-RELATIVES. Moses Moore, who has
lately been liberated from gaol, was summoned be-
fore the Mayor, and R. Davis, Esq., on Monday, on
the charge of threatening the life of his step-mother.
The complainant said that on the previous Monday
the defendant came to Mrs. Brown's, where she
was lodging, and wilted her why she had sent a police-
man to him in reference to a pair of Bei/Isom Shetold
him because he knew he had them. He denied it,
called her a liar, and then threatened to knock her
b—brains out. He lifted up his Sat, and she
screamed out murder as loud as she was able, as he
looked so " vicious." There was Mrs. Brown, and
William Luck, a printer, lodging in the house, and
she "dared" them to leave while defendant remained
in the house. He did not strike her, but only
threatened her. He also said the things in the house
belonged to him, and he would break. them. The
defendant ...id his step-mother sold his father's
grinding barrow the day after his father died,
although it undoubtedly belntipd to him. She had
also his clothes, which were the only things he now
wanted. He promised the Bench that if these
were given up to him, he would not annoy his step-
mother again ; and the complainant agreeing to give
them up in the presence of a police-constable, the
summons was dismissed, and the parties left the
Court together.
STEALING APPLIML—Three boys, named John
Payne, Samuel Norris, and William Winzar, were
on Monday charged with being in Mr. Stanton's
orchard for the purpose of stealing apples. The case
was proved by William Piyer, who was in Mr.
Stanton's employ. The boys had not, at the time
he saw them, had time to take any apples.—The
Bench severely reprimanded the boys, and dis-
charged them. .

ROBERRIES BY Boys.—On Friday last two boys—
John Collins, 16, in the employ of Messrs. Penney
Brothers, saddlers and harness makers, and George
Wallis, 14, in the employ of Mr. Charles Penney,
saddler and harness maker—were charged before the
Mayor with acting in concert to rob their masters.
It seems that Mr. Charles Pouncy's suspicions had
been raised by the loss of a meerschaum pipe, and
some money from the till, and when he charged
Wallis with being the offender, Wallis said that be
was instigated by Collins, who advised him to do as
as he did, and that they were Fartnere in their
spoil. The two boys were consequently apprehended,
and on each of them was found a pair of brace a and
a knife, the property of the Messrs. Pommy
Brothers, which having been deposed to, the case
was adjourned.—On Monday they were brought
up before the Mayor and A. Davis, Esq.
—Charles Penney said he knew the defendants.
George Wallis used to work for him. He had lately
mined things from his shop, the first thing being a
meerschaum pipe. He on two or three subsequent
mornings missed money from his till. On Friday
morning he morked three shillings and three aiw-
penoes, and put them in the drawer. He turned the
key in the drawer, and left the shop. He was gone
nearly an hour, and on his return one of the marked
shillings was gone. The boy had to sweep up the
shop during his absence. Witness went into the
workshop, and taxed the boy with the theft. He
replied, "If you'll forgive me, I'll tell you the
truth. I took only a penny and a farthing."
Witness told him he would send for Mr.
Pouncy, the superintendent of police, and the
boy replied that he would go and fetch the
shilling, which was in the wool loft. William Lang-
ford went with him, and they returned shortly
afterwards without it, but- with two brushes. Ile
said he had given a shilling at Mr. Pouncy's for
them. Witness then went to Mr. Penney and told
him to take charge of his boy and also of Wallis.
The two boys were then taken to the hall and
searched. The Is. was found on Collins in a purse
belonging to witness. The mark was obliterated, and
witness could not identify the coin. Among the
articles produced were a meerschaum pipe, a tobacco
pouch, a hair brush and two small brushes, a clog,
and other articles. The pipe, shilling, purse, and
tobacco preach were found at Collins's house, and
Wallis admitted giving them to him—Supt. Penney
said that in consequence of information he received he
apprehended the boys. He charged Wallis with
stealing a shilling, and told him be must go with
him. Wallis said "Do forgive me, 1 should'nt have
done it if Collins had not persuaded me. 1 gave it
him, and Collins stole half-a-crown from your son,
and your son missed it."—Witness then apprehended
Collins, and charged him with having received a
shilling from Wallis. Collins said: "I have a
shilling, but I earned that from Mr. Last,
for abutting his shop." He tcok them to the
station, and searched them. On Collins he found
the purse and shilling.—Collins said he should not
have taken them, lint as soon as he came there the
other prisoner said to him, "you do as I do, and
well go shares." They then went to Collins's
father's house, told them what had occurred, and
Mrs. Collins went upstairs, and under the pan of a
tight commode she took out the meerschaum pipe
and tobacco pouch, and gave them to witness. —Mr.
Charles Pouncy identified them as his property.—
They then proceeded to Wallis's house and found
a small brush, a prepared silk lash for a
hand whip, a padlock, and a card, which
were also identified as his property.—Wallis
was charged with stealing them' and he admitted it,
said be hoped his master would forgive him, and he
would never do the like sgain.—'The boys sleeted
to receive their sentence at the hands of the magis.
trades rather then awsit their trial at the Sessions.
Superintendent Pouncy said his son bad no desire
to press his case against thoprieoners.—The Mayor :
Has not Collins been here before !—Superintendent
Penney said he was sorry to say he had, for stealing
potatoes when he was fined 7s. —The Bench
sentenced Collins to a month, and Wallis to 14
days' imprisonment.
Llama on Counrusr Missions.—On Thursday
evening last a very ioteresting and instructive lecture,
illustrated by maps and • moving panorama, was de-
livered by the Rev. T. Mann Amoclation Secretary of
the London Missionary Society, in the schoolroom of
the Independent Chapel, South-street. There was •
lnrge attendance, chiefly composed of juveniles, for
whose benefit the lecture was chiefly designed. The
rev. gentleman very happily engaged the attention of
his auditory by the pleasing manner in whieh be
handled his subject, and by the various questions he put
to them. He first directed their attention to a map
which represented the five great bodies the world was
composed of—Heathen, black • Mahornedan, green;
Roman Catholic, red; Greek Church, pink ; and Pro-
testant, white ; and m a stimulus to his 4onthfol audi-
tory gave theta three words, beginning with the letter
L—look, listen, and learn—to use their eyes, their ears,
and their brains. The portion of the world he particu-
larly called their attention to was Madagascar. In
describing the journey thither, he gave an instance of
the liberality of the reigning Viceroy of Egypt, by whose
forethought and enlightenment a railway had been con-
structed across the desertrearly in the same direction as
Moses led the children of IsraeL All engaged in mis-
sionary work were permitted to travel this line free of
expense. The lecturer then proceeded to give a descrip-
tion of the Mauritius, sad by means of his panorami
gave his audience a very striking illustration of the
aspect and productions of the country. Madagascar,
150 years ago was known very little about, and was
brought to notice by a boy named Robert Drury, who,
, having a strong desire to go to sea, joined a vessel sail-
ing for the East Indies, which was wrecked off the
' island, and he only escaped by the waves casting him
ashore. Being seised by the natives, an was their cus-
tom, he was sold fore slave. He twice attempted to get
away—once by giving a native travelling to the coast
a leaf of a tree on which he had cut his name, and that
be was there kept as • slave. The native, however,
lost the leaf and replaced it by another. Some time
after it came to the knowledge of his frienils that he was
on the island, and he regained his liberty. On his
return home, he gave such a glowing picture of the
last° of the country that several parties determined to
trade there, and about the same time the attention of
the London Missionary Society was directed to that
island, and they senb out two or three missionaries with
their wives, who, however, very soon fell victims to the
climate. Some time after other missionaries
were sent out, and these succeeded, in spite
of all diffioulties, in teaching the natives the religion
of the Gospel. linen they arrived there they found
the people had no written language, and they set them-
selves to the task of making a language for them, by
noticing what they called their feet, their hands, or
anything else they spoke about. By this means they
proceeded, step by step, until at length they succeeded
In teaching the natives ; and were the means, by the
blessing of God, in inducing many of them to renounce
heathenism and embrace Christianity. He next alluded
to the violent persecution these disciples of Christ
r endured some years ago, after the death of the oele-
brated king, Radammah. One of his wives, an ambi-
tious woman, determined to reign in his stead, and for
this purpose killed one of hialeollll who was the rightful
bete, and bnnislied another, mild being told that so long
as her people prayed to the Christian God, sod read the
Christian's book, she would never be allowed to live
In peace, she determined in the first place that all the
Christiana books should be burnt, and finding that

many of her people Socrotsd them, and held meetings,
She gave orders for them to suffer death in various
ways. Some were crucified, others taken to the t. pof
ik rock and dashed to pieces, others were burnt, and
somewerestoned to death. A view was here given where
four were tied to atakes, and a fire kindled near them
—four times did the savage soldiery kindle the flamer,
and each time it was put out by violent rains which
came on—at last when they wore perishing, the sun
shone out, and a splendid rainbow was seen, one
end of which appeared to rest upon the martyrs.
Their persecutors, very much alarmed, said it was
the spirits of the Christians ascending to their God.
To show bin hearers bow these martyrs were enabled
to endure such trials, the lecturer directed their atten-
tion to a view, in which a number of them were
NM congregated together at night in the bush, listen-
ing to the exhortations of their teachers, and joining in
soliciting God's help in their distress. After the death
of the persecuting Queen, the young prince who now
reigned, Mconded the throne, and he most urgently
solicited the return of the missionaries. To his en-
treaties the London Missionary Society had listened,
and several were on their way thither. The rev, gentle-
man impressed upon his auditory the claims of the
missionary cause, entreating then 'often to think of
Madagascar, bathe land of Missionaries, of Martyrs, and
of Mercies. Daring the lecture several hymns suitable
for the occasion were sung by the children, and the
meeting was opened and dosed by prayer by the Rev.
Mr. Fox. The lecturer announced I. is attention of paying
them another visit, when ho would call their attention
to the state of Christianity in India.
Tits DUCHY or CORNWALL.--A recent notice has
called attention to the time when the Prince of
Wales comes of age, and enters into possession of
his splendid inheritance. That it is a splendid
inheritance is mainly owing to the care and
business•like attention which have been paid to the
resources of the Duchy of Cornwall during the
minority of the Prince. When the young Prince
was born the revenues of his patrimony were not
one-half of what they now are, having been heavily
encumbered by William IV. In his anxiety to pro-
vide for certain claims on him, the King did that
which could hardly be considered fair to his suc-
cessor. Unable to sell any portion of the Duchy,
His Majesty did not hesitate to grant very long
leases (even for three lives), at a very inadequate
rental, in consideration of a proportionate premium
paid down. This mode of proceeding of course put
the King into possession of a considerable sum of
money ' • but the revenues of the Duchy were
reduced in like proportion, and matters a ere in this
state when the Queen ascended the throne. Since
the birth of the Prince of Wales not only have the
affairs of the Duchy been most carefully husbanded
for his benefit, but the leases granted by William
IV. are rapidly falling in, so that his Royal High-
ness will succeed to his patrimony very nearly in
all its integrity, and with large accumulations.

PORTLAND. —THs ESCAPED Corry-wt.—lt is
pretty well known what became of the escaped
convict from Portland prison, 'and the direction
he took after he left the island. There is no question
but that he passed the military guard stationed at
the passage bridge without attracting observation.
He proceeded thence towards Weymouth and broke
into a house on the Wykeroad near the Union home.
Thence he went to Chickerell and broke into
another house, his object being to obtain fresh
clothes and food without observation. During
the daytime he lay concealed in a wheat-field,
and next night broke into the Royal Oak inn
at Upwey, where, amongst other things, he stole
a pair of boots which he subsequently left at
Yetminster, in a house into which he forcibly
entered during the night, as he there found a larger
pair, most likely better fitted to his feet. He is
evidently living upon plunder, lying concealed
among the standing corn, and prowling about the
country at night. It is greatly to be desired that
his depredations may be epeedily brought to a
close by his being again placed in durance vile.

SHAFTESBURY. —Col-rat:ix GARDlffid SO-
cirrY.—On Thursday last the annual exhibition of
this useful society, designed to encourage the labour-
ing classes in cultivating a love of the useful and
beautiful, and to stimulate them in carrying out
habits of industry and perseverance, was held in the
new Market-house, by the kind permission of the
Marquis of Westminster. Unfortunately the weather
was unfavourable, but notwithstanding this draw-
back the visitors were numerous. The show of
vegetables was excellent, but in consequence of
blight, wet weather, and absence of sunshine, the
fruit exhibited was not so good as that shown on
previous occasions. As many as eighty children com-
peted for prizes for wild flowers, and so excellent
was the show and arrangement, that thejudges were
compelled to award many extra prizes. The needle-
work, exhibited by the girls of the different schools,
was much admired, and reflected great credit on
themselves and their instructors. The display of
flowers and ferns, kindly lent for the occasion by
Mrs. C. E. Buckland and Mrs. Brine, added greatly
to the show. To add to the pleasures of the day
the band of the 9th Dorset Rifle Corps were present.
The prizes were distributed by Charles W. Gordon,
Esq., of Wincombe ; and J. W. ?dseklin, Esq., and
W. H. Bennett, Esq., assisted by Mr. Francis,
gardener to Mrs. Seymour, of Knoyle House, acted
as judges. The following is a list of the successful
exhibitors :
