in the effort might reasonably have anticipated for
the scheme a successful issue. Their hopes were,
however, only in part fulfilled. The edifice was
fitted up at an expense of 100/. ; the school was
maintained for several years ; but at length a suitor
in Chanct-ry claimed the building, and by the aid of
John Doe, or his more modern representative,
" ejected " the school. The worthy incumbent is
not, however, disheartened ; and he now invites
the co-operation of the charitable in raising a fund
towards the purchase of iron school rooms, to be
placed on a little plot of ground already available
near the church. Numerous ladies and others have
joined in the attempt, and under their auspices a
bazaar, for the benefit of the Ragged and Industrial
Schools of St. Stephen's is to be held on Tuesday,
the 21st inst. and the two following days, at St.
James's Hall, Piccadilly. We are requested to state
that any friends of the object who may be prompted
to give active or other assistance, may communicate
with Mrs. J. H. Simpson, 74, Virginia•terrace,
Dover-road, Southwark. We add the expression of
our own hope that such assistance will be generously
accorded to an enterprize which has so strong a
claim on the warm sympathies of a Christian com-

munity.

THE SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE SHOW has been

held during the week, the private view being fixed
for Monday, and the public generally admitted on
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and yesterday. On
Saturday His Royal Highness the Prince Consort
. .

visited the show, and paid great attention to every
object of interest pointed out to him. Some of our
most eminent agriculturists were amongst the ezhi
bitors, and altogether the show was a most saris_

factory one. The annnal dinner, under the presi-
dency of the Duke of Richmond, took place on
Wednesday.

THE RAILWAY COMPANIES ASSOCIATION met on

Thursday at the Ra•lway Clearing-house. The rail-

way directors present, who represented a capital of
136,873,0001., set forth in strong terms the many
serious grievances under which the railwayinterests

of the country labour. It was stated that the report
issued by the association has met with the almost

unanimous support of the railway shareholders of

the kingdom, and that the

intend to bring

into Parliament during the next session a measure

for legalizing decisions of arbitrators on all questions

which railway companies may fairly submit to arbi-
tration ; and also for legalizing agreements between
. .

companies for the division of traffic. The chairman

gave notice that at the next meeting of the associa-
tion he should propose that the . Government be

. .
requested to appoint a select committee on railways,

with full power to inquire into all grievances com:

plained of by railway companies, and to suggest such
remedies as in their opinion might appear desirable.

THE BIRTHS of 1,763 children were registered

last week in London. The return of the Registrar-

POLITICAL ARRESTS have taken place in Ireland.
The Cork Reporter of Thursday says :—" At half-
past eleven this day fifteen prisoners, charged with
being members of an illegal society, arrived by the
Brandon train under the escort of a large party of

police. They are all young men, and of respectable
position in society. Twelve of them are from Skib-
bereen, and three from Bantry. The captures were

effected last night, while most of the parties were in
bed. They are members of the Plicenix Society, and
the informations have been sworn against them by

one of their body named Sullivan. The object of the
society is said to have been for the purpose of
obtaining an invasion of the country by American

Fillibusfers."

A PROCLAMATION has been issued by the Lord

Lieutenant for the suppression of Ribbon and other
associations of a seditious and treasonable character.

It declares that all such bodies or persons associated

under the pretended obligation of oaths unlawfully
administered are illegal, and that every person who
shall unlawfully take these oaths shall be guilty of
felony. After cautioning all parties against becoming
or remaining members of these societies, the firm
determination of the Government to uproot them is

announced, and all loyal subjects are required to the
utmost of their power to discountenance such so-
cieties or assemblies ; and a reward of 1001. is offered
for such information as will lead to the conviction of

any of the persons who shall have administered any
oath, and a reward of 501. for such information as
will lead to the conviction of any of the persons who

shall be found to oe members of, or in tiny way con-
neoted with, any of the aforesaid societies.
THE SADLEIR FRAUDS were the subject; yf a judg-

_ .
ment by Mr. Commissioner Long&ld in the Incum-
bered Estates Court, Dublin, on Monday. The
case came before the court " n re Burmester," the

substantial question in the matter being whether the

official manager representing the Tipperary Bank, or
the London and County Bank, was entitled to the
proceeds of the estates of the late John Sadleir.
The learned judge entered into an elaborate review
of the facts upon which he grounded his judgment.
Upon the facts as they appeared he had formed a
very decided opinion that the right of the parties
claiming under the different securities should depend
on the circumstances wider which the securities had
been executed. He could not believe that all the
evidence which had been adduced was that of per-
jured persons, and that the directors of the London
Bank, with a full knowledge of the affairs, had been
engaged in a conspiracy to destroy the Tipperary
Bank by making large advances to John Sadlen..
The evidence rather showed that the Tipperary Bank
and Sadleir were both unable to meet their engage-
ments. The failure of Sadleir would have brought
ruin upon the Tipperary Bank. It was too much to
call upon the court to believe that the directors of
the Lo:elon Bank were aware of the frauds of Jobn
Sadleir. His lordship said he had entered into the
transactions of the present case at more length than
usual, in order that bosh parties might have an op-
portunity of correcting any erroneous impression
which he might entertain in the case, in the event of
an appeal. The court overruled the objection of the
official manager without costs. The decision will

ELIZABETH MARTHA WHITF:. wife of a master

mariner at Deptford, was charged, on Monday, before

Mr. Trail!, at Greenwich Police court, with cruelty
to her stepdaughter, six years of age. The poor
child was found to be in a shocking state from
bruises, excoriationq, and even cuts. These were

proved to be the work of the stepmother, who the
father, notwithstan ling, gravely efirmed was "a

kind-hearted and feeling woman ! " The magistrate
sentenced the wife to one month's hard labour ; and

the women assembled outside the court knocked

the husband's hat overhiseyes when he came out.

have occurred during the week—one at the Hackney

THE ROYAL HAIR DRESSER AT WINDSOR, Mr.

Charles Alder, put a period to his existence, on
