A FORTUNATE OiTENTT.—h abaegWboe Of there
being no prisoners, nor banns of any kW to trammet, at
the last SWUM for the musty et Radnor, the isish sheriff
had to present Mr. Justice Creswell with a pair et white
kid gloves, embroidered in gold. This token of a maiden
maize " has been forwarded to his lordship. A similar event
has net taken place for a considerable number of years in
that county. His lordship remarked that it Ins the first
time he had been entitled to such a gift since he had bean on
the bench.
EXPENSES OP SHERIFFS AT ASSIZEB.—It having
Wen communicated to the deputy-sheriff of the county of
Glamorgan, previous to the last assizes, that the judges had
unanimously resolved, that at the various circuit towns the
housekeeper and family should no longer be maintained at
their expense, and the daily allowance of wine to them be
discontinued, and no others maintained at the judge's lodg-
ings bet those actually employed in their service ; and no
presents in ale or wine be accepted by their lordships from
the sheriffs, in future, the above resolution was acted upon
at the last anises held at Cardiff. Availing himself of so
favourable an opportunity for further reform, the sheriff de-
clined paying the accustomed gratuities to the judge's clerk,
crier, butler, footman, coachman, and other oilcan.

would do euwything that fraternal affection and the duty
of a younger brother demanded, he would never ascribes

posed in him at the bidding of any lordly dictator. (Vehe-
ment cheering.) He was once perhaps a naughty boy in
golden fetters, but the cluing el the per had been stricken
off. He now Wood before them free, and free he was
determined to continue. (Loud cheers.) Why, the nominee
had actually written to the government a month before
the election, asking for a secretaryship as the future mem-
ber for West Olocestenliire—(roars of laughter)—a pretty
specimen of independence, supposing the government bad
given It him, a seethes member waitiog in the lobby until
the people thought proper to demand admittance for him.
(. That we never will.") They had put an ex-
tinguisher upon the peers, but the last lesson seemed
to have been thrown away upon Lord Fitzhardinge,
who had instrneted Mr. Dodd, Mrs. Baker's solicitor—(gen.-
ral groans)—to ens him (Mr. Berkeley) for 191. 135.10 d , al-
leged to be doe to Mrs. Latham, the housekeeper of Berke-
ley-house, London, for the use of lines, inc., two years ego.
' Shame!") Now, although he could manage to pay 191., he
C did not mean to do so, for he would not be (=rad by the de-
linquency which shielded itself beneath an unworthy petti-
coat, end the world should judge of the issue. (Great cheer-
ing.) Society at large had long put up with outrages from the
lord-lieutenant, who eared not for principles or brothers,
when the profession of the one or the advocacy of the other
was no longer necessary to pin him titles or procure for
him coronets. (Great cheering.) Here they had the head of
the magistrates continually breaking the lews—would they
longer endure it? (Loud cries of "No.") Then let them
petition the crown without delay to remove so unworthy a
representative of Its power. (Loud cheese.) [Mr. Berkeley
then produced the Times, end read in it a letter from
Earl Fi•zlTdinge, eking why the editor had desig-
nated him • a despot?") Mr. Berkeley commented on the
letter at length and concluded, A more futile, or more
contemptible effusion was never penned. However I may
have wished on pecuniary grounds, through West Indian
failures, to have withdrawn from parliament, I would net
do to at the command of any one. (Groans.) No, I would
not shrink from asking your suffrages at the bidding. of
feminine impurity—(loud cheers)—nor would I shrink
from clearing my Own honour from charges dictated by
abandoned revenge—(great cheering)--although falsely
paraded at London police offices for despicable pur-
pose*, as the seducer of an unfortunate girl—a charge as
• lying as malevolent—(cheer)—brought by those of whose
purity we have a living illustration of the truth. (Much
cheering.) This letter to the Times is another proof that
your lord-lieutenant is so utterly prostrated by the corrupt
circumstances surrounding him, that the more he attempts
tea explain, like a fly in a glee pot, the firmer does it stick to
him. (Laughter and cheers.) However, gentlemen, if be
provokes a contest with the Times I wish him joy of his ad-
• versary. (" Hear," and laughter.) I will leave him to the
T+mess; they shall, if they please, have a fair fight, and what
will all his power be against an independent and free press ?
I know who will have the best of the battle if the earl is
stupid enough to provoke it; and the epithet of " despot"
applied by the Times will be confirmed by you. (Cries of
It is already.") Gentlemen, all I ask of you for the pre-
sent is your implicit faith. Give me your confidence until
you find me wanting, and you shall have my best services in
return. (Loud cheers.) A generous master never has a
bad servant, and this case shall not on my part prove an ex-
ception to the general rule, which I hope will be our guide,
and lead us to improve our triumph by obtaining a better
state of political existence. (Vehement cheering.)

CuRRENCY REFoRm. -iieMidland Counties Perak'
of yesterday says : "We understand that the committee of
the Birmingham Currency Reform Association, now that
the elections have terminated, intend to take active mea-
sure' for bringing the question more prominently before the
public. It is proposed we believe, to hold a meeting in the
course of the next fortnight, for the purpose of deciding upon
a vigorous line of action. That the public mind is prepared
for the full discussion of the monetary question every day
supplies more decisive proofs. In fact, it is now being dis-
cussed in nearly all the leading metropolitan and provincial
journals, and a great =prescient has already been
made. The result of the agitation of this vital question
will no doubt become apparent on the assembling of
the new parliament. The act of 1844 is fast producing its
legitimaM effects upon the trade and commerce of the
country ; although the most unscrupulous efforts are being
used to induce the belief that those effects are attributa-
ble to other causes. This species of misrepresentation, how.
ever, has now a constant and able opponent in the Daily
New, a journal which has taken so decisive a lead on the
currency question, that we are rather surprised its opponents,
jealous of the popularity and influencethat must follow this
course, do not immediately become converted to the same
faith."
REFORMATORY PUNISHMENT.—The annual report
of the Warwick county asylum contains many interesting
facts bearing on the subject of reformatory punishment. In
its pecuniary affairs that institution is unfortunate ; but the
committee console themselves with the hope that, as " the
government of the country have become convinced of the
fact that it is good policy to reform criminal boys, it is,
therefore, reasonable to eipeet that charitable instinitions,
such as the County Asylum will be superseded by some
great national and comprehensive meaaure." As regards the
moral results of the getout pursued, ihe asylum has
been eminently mmmisM. In 1827, the proportion of
ascertained reformations among the inmates was 48 per
cent. Up to 1843 it had risen to 56 per cent ;in 1844, to
58 per cent. ; in 1846, to 60 per cent.; aad at lady-day, 1847,
to 66 per esnt. Be it observed, this calculation gives only
aseeeksimi rehrorstions, cases about which there was not a
shadow of a MIL The cases in which temporary good had

four o'clock. He bad hasa hied, and became sensible for a
few moments, when ha asked the nom foe a pint of beer,
for which he said he would pay to morrow. Tke nurse
asked if ho had been fighting. He said no; and made some
declaration that he had been struck by some person ; but as
it did not appear that the deceased was aware that he was in
a dying state, the coroner refined to take that declaration as
evidence. The coroner stated that any statement calculated
to criminate another was inadmissible, unless the party
making it felt himself te be in a dying state ; and cautioned
the jury not to allow it to operate upon their decision.—Mr.
Garrington, who examined the body, was of opinion that the
death of deceased was from apoplexy, and that apoplexy
was the ratchet either a fall or a blow. Verdict--" The
deceased, John Hines, died of apoplexy, produced by ex-
ternal violence ; but how such violence was inflicted there
was no evidence before them tflshcm:

Tito SCHOOLIIZTEit '''''' town of Ten-
bury has lately witnessed the doings of a few enthusisats
nominating themselves " second adventiate." On Sunday
week the road 1-mding from thence to Leominster was
thronged by several hundred persons, spectators of the bap-
tism of nine female and four male converts, of the agricul-
tural labouring clam, which took place near the turnpike-
road. On Monday the adventista departed to " sound their
midnight cry," as they call it, at Bromyard.
AN ENGLISH OAK. —On Tuesday an oak-tree,
felled en the Gemstone estate, of the cnormcras weight of 15
tons, was bmght to Hereford, and deposited in the timber-
yard at the Friars, having been purchased by Mr. Chap-
man, the shipbuilder, of Chepstow. The tree was drawn
by 12 horses, and its bulk and size attracted a numerous
crowd of spectators, it being regarded 41 the largest ever seen
in the city.

SURREY. .

A RIOT TOOK PLACE NEAR REIGATE on Wednes-
day, in which • reaper named M'Carthy was so seriously
wounded that his life is in great danger. It appears that
about mid-day on Wednesday a party of reapers and their
wives assembled at a publics-hour/ called the White Hart, at
Chepstow, where after a short time they commenced singing
and drinking until the man M'Carthy was called upon to
sing a song, but he refused, and walked out, followed by a
number of men and women, and when they reached a spot
a short dietetic* from the public-house, one of the ring-
leaders, named George Fisher, told M'Carthy that if he did
not go back sad sing a song, or pay for a pot of ale, he
(Fisher) would cut his arm off with the fagging hook.
M'Carthy refused, and the next moment Fisher, who bad
the sharpened book in his hand, raised the deadly weapon
and inflicted • gash on M'Carthy's head, who raised his left
arm to defend himself, whim Fisher again rushed forward
and gave him two more frightful cuts across the left arm,
which completely separated both bones of the limb. By this
time some resistance arrived, when the wounded man was
carried int, a public-house in a state of total insensibility.
He was subsequently conveyed to Guy's Horpital, where
his deposition was yesterday taken. His statement impli-
cated several persons, who are in custody.
