THE POOR LAW.

Mr. OOSCHEN ached the President of the Poor Law
Board whether the select committee on poor relief woubi
make a report this session ; and if eo, whether in time for
on the subject; and if it WM the intention of her
Majesty's government to bring forward any measure founded
thereupon during the present session.
Mr. VI LLIERS believed that the report would be made
is time tor legislation this session, and he would defer
giving any opinion on the subject of legislation until he had
seen the document.
THE BATTERSEA CRICKET GROUND.

Mr. AYRTON asked the Finn Oommissioner of Works
whether he had noised say instructions to put an end to the
appropriation of a part of Battersea-park as a cricket
grouad for the exclusive use of the civil service.
My. COWPER was aware that there wee great jealousy
amongst the young urea who played at cricket in
Bettersea-park ; but from the ingairies be had made he
could not ,certain that there was any just ground for corn-
Valet. The game of cricket required that an open space
should be kept clear for the players—(hear, bear)—end the
ground had been dealt with in inch a way as to avoid a
*pillion of interests. It had been divided into five parts.
The first and largest was appropriated to pence, who were
not members of clubs, hut who came to play spontaneously.
(Hear, hear.) Another plot was kept for the practice of
organised clubs. A third was for the matches of those
dabs. The fourth was for the Battersea leatitutios ; sad
the fifth for the Civil S•niceOlob. As far ea he could
ascertain there was room for everyone to play. Some
et the clubs complained that the civil service ground was
better than the rest ; but he did not think that that we.
the case ; or if it was. it had vises from the money which
the Civil Service Club had spent in mowing and rolling
their plot. (Hear, hear.)
In answer to Mr. Cox,
Mr. COWPER added that the largest grated would ac-
commodate eighteen games. The civil service would give
spacer for a much smaller number, and the club numbered
730 members.

The grand jury having beau swore' the chairman, in his
address to them, mid that since they last met a new act of
parliament bad come into operation, which was of 'mike
importance, and ought to be widely spread all over the
kingdom. Be alluded to the Penal Servitude and Ticket of
Leave Act. Before that was puled it was usual to pus
sentenom of penal servitude for three, four, five sod more
years scomling to the banner of the offenoe. The Mews
now passed, however, limited the term to five ream and
previously coovieted of penal servitude, to no less than Bevan
years. There were, however, several other cooditioos of giver
severity which ought to be publicly known. After the errant

must report themselves as often as required, and be tinder

their lioness ticket without sufficient excuse, their license
would be liable to forfeiture. Aim if they associated with

livelihood. In the eveot al their lioeoses being forfeited they
would have to pass the whole of the senteme

of•leave were formerly granted by the Secretary of State
on the recommendation of the alnitelaios, renames, or

term must be passed. The prisoner must first gaffer gams

of-leave after that did not depend alone on their pod use.
duct but their iaduatrious habits, and their earning a certain
sum of money. Hitherto prisoners who underwent lon,;
periods of punishment had large gums of mown, which
they received en their discharge, and squandered
away sometimes among their old companions. Now
they would only have a certain sum, aufficinot to
start in the world afresh. The punishment would also ie
more severe, and he had no doubt the new act of pulls.
meat would be beneficial to the public at large. With re-
gard to the caleudar, there were forty-three prisoner for
trial, and most likely before they concluded their labours
other came would be sent from the police-canna. There
were nine foe simple larceny, seven for larceny from the
person, three embezzlements and larceny by servants, four
for housebreaking, one for receiving stolen goods, three for
false pretences, one for wilful and malicious damage.
four for indecent ammults, two attempted suicide. one for
malicious wounding, and two for public indecency. The
whole of the eases were those usually tried at these mesimi,
and as they did not require any farther remarks from them

BOROUGH HOP MARKET.--(TEIIS DAY.)

Messrs Pattenden and Smith report great activity is the
market for dna season of the year, there being • good
demand for almost all classes of hope at very firm prices.

FRENCH PATENT:4.—On the whole, however, the
peculiarity of the French genius of i ion is ingenuity
is very small matters. We cannot, in England, boast of
having invented that doubtless moat useful article the
"powder for facilitating walking." This "powder" is
surely not intended to be used or " taken " in the same
fashion as the powder which (so Sir Walter Scott tells us
in " Woodstock ") Sir Henry Lee, of Ditcbley, knew how
to compound for increasing the speed of horses. According
to the novelist, the escape of Charles IL from Woodstock
was due to the efficacy of 'six balls prepared of the moot
cordial spices, mixed with medicaments of the choicest and
most invigorating quality," and which, being "gives from
hour to hour, wrapt in a coverts' of gond beef or rooftop, a
horse of spirit will not Sag for five hours at the speed of
fifteen miles an hour." But to return, the French have also
• peculiar "apparatus for decanting liquids at table," and •
patent for "seamless shoes." These last, we presume, ale
made either of gutty perches or cast-iron. Then there is an
invention, the rondos perandi of which does net very
clearly appear. It is • " mode of transatlantic conveyance
for avoiding the loading lied unloading of goods." By means
of this invention merchandise may possibly be transported
in a mangier somewhat similar to that we read of in the
fairy tales about the " wiiihingnsp," or in the "Arabian
Nights," where a certain Persian prinoe, who sat him down
oe his carpet at the gate of Damascus at night, was at
Bagdad in the morning—with his dressing-mos and patent
Crotos°, no doubt. Our French neighbours partico-
iLosl ie "improvements in artificial este of teeth."
We refrain from speculating as to whether the apparently
great demand for these articles may not arise from their
ilnnumerable varieties of 1..n40ns and similar sweet things.—

THE DEATH OF SIR ALEXANDER LAWRENCE.

The Dati Gam- tic, in recording the death of Sir
Alexander Lawrence, which event was announced by
telegram a few days since, says :—" The young gentleman
was, it appears, travelling up North by the Ilindoostan
and Thibet Trank•road, with his aerie Ceased Lew:vice,
the Deputy-Commissioner of Simla. They roads tea or
twelve marches in safety and reached Torshoa, the
summer residence of the Rajah of Bussabir, on Friday,
the 'Nth instant. Oa Saturday morning they started
on horseback for the next bungalow at Tamed.. About
four miles on the road they bad to cross • bridge which
girdled an almost perpeacbcolar cliff ; on nearing this
spot, Sir Aleasnder's horse being somewhat restive, he
primed his uncle to the front, on riding over the bridge rather
hurriedly • large croerbesm gave way, and both rider
and horse were preripitrited violently down about
three hundred feet of khud, and of course killed
on the spot. This shocking and terrible accideat hap-
pened about oil* hundred and twenty miles from Simla.
The corpse was brought into the station on Monday mon-
ies, and buried on the ermine of the same day. The
funeral was attended by the Viceroy and his staff ; the Coin.
mender-in-Chief and his staff ; the Members of Council ; Sir
H. Edward's ; and all the principal visitors and residents of
the place. the procession left Government House at 4 p.m.
The chief mourners followed the bier on foot the whole way ;
at thegate of the cemetarythe but was rested and bores theme
to the grave by the personal staff of the Governor-Goma
The funeral warrior was read by the Rey. J. Poysder, and
amidst universal tribulation and sorrow the remains of Sir
Alexander Lawrenos were lowered into their last resting
place. Thus, snatched away am be was in the midst of life
and youth and universally beloved, a melancholy gloom will
overshadow Simla for the zest of the season. He has left
behind him a young widow and a child to mourn his loss.
Poor as the consolation may be we feel assured Lady Law-
rence will have the warmest and deepest sympathy of
the community in her sad bereavement."
