CURIOUS VEGETARIAN BANQUET.

(From the Mawlkster Grard.44.)
The sixth annual banquet of the Vegetarian So-
eistr was held in the Town-hall, Salford, Tut evening,
ekes there was a numerous gathering of vegetarians and
their friends. The room was decorated with festoons of
TWO yaws, which at different points surrounded iniCriP-
-6011!, enaseiting of extracts from the Bible, the works of '
Cuter and other authors, mottoes directly or indirectly
~..baring epos the practice of vegetarian um. The busts of
mike* and Shaksnere occupied positions ow each side of
the orchestra ; and beneath the bust of each was a quota-
tion hut hie works recommending an abstinence from a
Sisk deg. In the orchestra there win a band, which per-
!md a retention of mote during the banquet and in the
Wirral/ between the speeches which followed. Mr. JANES

PRESERVATION OF LIFE FROM SHIPWRECK.

A meeting of the general committee of the Royal
National Institution for the Preservation of Life from
Shipwreck, was held at the offices, John-street, Adelphi, en
Friday. Capt. LAIIIIIRT Pgaaorr, in the chair. Capt.
Davie% R.N. ; Capt. W. H. Hall, R.N. ; Edward Harry,
Req. ; Capt. M'llirdy, RN. ; Capt. Ommanney, B.N. ;
Major Palmer; Capt. Washington, R.N.; and Capt.
Ward, R.N., inspector of life-boats to the institution,
wen also present.
Mr. Lawie, the seeretuy, baring read the minutes of
the previous meeting, the following rewards were ordered
to he panted.
The sum of If. 10s. to several men for their services to the
new of the schooner Navarino, of Guernsey, which was
wrecked a short time ago off the Isle of Wight. Having,
with Deirlett's rocket apparatus, succeeded on effecting a
communication with the stranded venal, her crew wen, by
means of a hawser, hauled on shore. On account of the
tremendous sea that was running at the time over the rocks
ea which the men were standing their lives were placed in
greet peril; red it seemed that had it not been for their
prompt and persevering erections every soul on board the
vessel must have perished, as it was impossible for an ordi-
nary boat to live in such a sea ; the ship's boat having been
previously dashed to pieces. It appeared that the institu-
tion bed eranted rewards, from time to time, for saving the
lives of about 130 shipwrecked persons with the useful appa-
ntus of the late Mr. Dennctt.
The amount of 21. 10s. was also voted to five poor IrWo ,
fishermen whe had saved two of Ave persons from a m-
ated fishing boat in Courtmaseherry bay, on the coast of
Cork. The accident happeeed about half a mile from the
shore, and, the sea running high at the time, three penes,
were unfortunately drowned bzfore assistance could reach
them.

Two new boats, on Mr. Peake's design, were ordered to
be built, and to be stationed at Dangeneu, Kant, and
Crandaeld point, on the coast of Down.
The life-boat, on the same plan, belonging fa the lutitu-
nu at CuDemote, Northumberland, was reported to have
saved during the late tempestuous weather a number et
poor fishermen, who, while engeged in their hazardous oc-
cupation, were overtaken soon after sunrise by a heavy gale
from N.N.E. The life-boat having been sent to their assist-
ance succeeded in bringing ten boats over the bar, some of
which would, with their crews, inevitably have been lost
but for the timely help of the life-boat, the wind and sea
having risen to such a height u to leave no place of safer!
for them to rein to.
A communication wag read from the Lincolnshire Life-
boat Association requesting the institution to accept 501. in
grateful acknowledgment of the original gift in 1825 of their
first lifeboat by the institution. The boat, which is sta-
tioned at Magness, was said to be in an elßeient state, and
to have saved about 100 lives of shipwrecked persona.

THE DUNMOIV FLITCH.

While on the subject of bacon, we must not omit
the well known flitch connected with the priory of Dun-
mow, in Fees. A similar custom formerly prevailed
at Tutbnry, in Staffordshire; and Snug suspects
that other places also boasted of some such cere-
mony. He also supposes that it was but the
shadow of some still earlier practice of an analogous
kind. This idea he bases upon what Dugdale says of an
ancient English parchment roll of the time of Henry
VIII., which was translated from a still older French one,
said to bear a date of the time of Edward 111. It relates
to the holding of several manors of the Earl of Leicester,
Lord of Tutbury, and as given by Dugdale, contains the
following provisions :—" Never-the-less the said Syr Phillip
shall find, and meyntienge, and susteyne, one bacon dyke
[flitch] hanging in his hall at Whichenowe, redy arrayed
all tymes of the year, bolt in Lents, to be given to everyche
manna or womanne married, after the day and the yeare of
their marriage be passed;" and also to every pecans in
"holy orders," of the same standing as to time, on their
demanding it in the following form :—" Bsillyke, or porter,
I don you to knows that I am come for myself [or if he to
come for any other person, showinge for whom] to demand.
one bacons flyke, hanging in the hall of the Lord of
Whichenowe, after the forme thereunto belongynge." He
was then to depart, as he tame, until an appointed day,
when he was to return with two witnesses of the truth of
his " relation.," Then, after various ceremonies, such as
the parading of tenants wearing chaplets, the sounding of
" tromps', tambours, and other manner of mynstralseye,"
be was to take the following oath :—" I. A., sythe I mar-
ried B. my wyffe, and sythe I hadde her in my keepinge,
and att my wylle, by a yere and a day, and after our mar-
riage, I wold not have changed for none other, farer ne
fowler, ryeher ne poorer, ne for none other descended of
gretter lynege, slepynge ne waking., at noo time. And if B
the said B. were sole, and I sole, I wolde take her to be my
wy fe before all the wymen of the world, of what conditiones
so-ever they be, goo or evylle, as helps me God and his
uyntis, and this fieshe, and all fieshes." After this the two
witnesses were to make an oath that they believed him to
have spoken honestly ; and then, with renewed pomp and
ceremony, he was to bear homeward the " bacone," with
the addition of half a quarter of wheat and a cheese, or, in
the event of his being a bondsman, with the bacon and the
wheat only. We believe that the Dunmow flitch was
claimed a year or two ago, for the first time since the close
of the last century.—Dublin University Magazine.
London, England, 1853-11-12

coetim es distingashed the meetings of the iommoirt hall.

The Chairmen—Will you now present the ioformation
you have to give with regard to the officers of the corpora-
tion ?

Witness said it appeared to him that the officers of the
corporation were decidedly tco numerous. There were
among thou officers gentlemen of very great intelligence
' and worth: but looking to the duties wiiich they had
to discharge in an area which embraced a small portion
only of the metropffis, he could not help thinking
that their number ought to be reduced. All the City
officers were, es far as he was aware, paid for their ser
vices. The corporation had four or five different officers
for the transaction of almost every branch of municipal
business. In the legal department they had first of all a
Recorder and a Common Serjeant. The duty of the former
officer had originally been to record the customs of the City,
and the duty of the latter had been to appear as their ad-
vocate in the courts of Westminster 11.11. But the Recorder

-- -
no longer performed his ancient funetions, and hit principal
business at present wee to preside at trials in the Central
Criminal Court. Again, the corporation had a solicitor for
the management of their common-law business, a remem•
brancer for conducting their parliamentary business, and a
comptroller for arraugiog their conveyancing. They had
thus three solicitors, and they had besides a town clerk,
who had usually been a solicitor, although that office was at
present filled by a member of the other branch of the legal
profession. The town clerk attended the mutinies of the
Court of Aldermen and the Court of Common Council, as
well u the meetings of the committees of those courts ;
he bad the custody of their records, and he
seemed to be the most active officer of the corporation.
Witness had seen very efficient offizen in the City,
and if their duties were to embrace the whole of the
metropolis they might all, perhaps, be retained with advan-
tage ; bat under present eircumttanees the staff of the cor•
poration was too large. He could not state from his own
knowledge whether the patronage of the corpor.ttion had
or had not been as well exercised as that of other bodies
throughout the country, and he did net therefore like to
give any opinion on the subject. He believed that the evils
or abuses in the official establishment of the corporation
arose from that want of good order in the management of
their business which was the result of the altered circum-
stances in which they had been placed since the period of
their original formation, and not from any determination to
use their powers for any corrupt or improper purpose. The
whole system was at present too complicated, and ought, in
his opinion, to undergo considerable revision.
The evidence of Mr. Pulliog was not concluded at four
o'clock, when the commission adjourned till twelve o'clock
on Tuesday next.

" Sir,—ln reply to your inquiry I venture to suggest
that the best way of dealing with the monopoly of spirits is
to abstain tram drinking them, which for upwards of
twenty yea. I have done. Depend oa it they ore nothing
better than slow poison even if taken moderately ; what
they are when taken in snows, the records of our gaols,

Tea SUPPLY OF COR.u.—The kat news from
Wesel (to the end of October) announce that the scarcity
of shipping for carrying away wheat bad ceased, 300 ves-
sels having arrived. There was so great a competition
aesonpt the persons furnishing freights that common
porters were paid front 301. to 40f. a day. The arrivals of
whom from the interior were so abundant that the dealers
IMO obliged to convert their private apartments into
stoma, reeerviag to themselves only en dies and a plain to
sleep in. Every one was is baste to offset his exportations,
through an apprehension that a declaration of hostilities
' might prevent vessels from leaving the port.

A PICTURE FROM THE SCENE OF WAR.

" Rontchuk is a considerable town in Bulgaria, of

some thirty thousand inhabitants, situated on a promontory
advancing into the Danube. From the roofs of its bosses a
splemitd •iew may be obtained over the vast winding river,

which is sufficiently deep to carry

of large

- _
sire. An immense number of vessels are oonstantly anchored
along the quays. Prom a distance the town has a =aura-
ficent appearance ; but, as usual, the streets are narrow,
dirty, and dismal. The lower parts of the houses, as is the
ease everywhere in Turkey, are without windows. The
' shops are geaerally tolerably well supplied with
merchandise. Travellers bound for Constantinople
hire ,horses at this place, and put themselves
under the guidance of • Tartar. The distance to
Schunda is reckoned generally at twenty-two hours.
The road is picturesque; and, for some time after
starting, the valley of the Danube remains in sight.
Between Sinionscha and Tomlak it is descried, however, foe
the last time from • lofty table lead. The road then enters
she valley of the Lom, bordered on both sides by precipices,
and carpeted with verdure. As you proceed the ground
rises and the path leads across hills and valleys, hers and
there covered with brushwood. All this country isthinly
inhabited. Now and then Bulgarian villages may be seen
in the distance, but on the road are only one or two soli-
tary Khans. The neighbourhood en hidden inhabited
places is indicated by wells on the road side, from which
paths lead up into the mountains. Women with jars upon
their heads are sometimes seen coming down for water.
The first halt is usually at itaagrad, a town inhabited by
about 15,000 Moslems and a few Bulgarian families. Asa
rule, the Christians, whose occupations are almost en' irely
agricaltural, are disseminated in small villages throughout
the eountry. Their number is estimated at between four
and five millions. The Turks, infinitely less nu-
merino, are congregated in the great towns ; bat there are
eons villages here and there entirely Turkish. As they are
generally placed in commanding positions, they are probably
inhabited by descendants of old military colonies, established
to keep the country in sukjection. Beyond Rasped there
still condones a succession of valleys and hills. The latter
inCrellie gradually is height until, from the table-land of
Banda* the heights of S.ebsinila and the long range of
the Balkans stretching with the uniformity of a wall be-
hind, come in eight. A little further on the view suddenly
opens to the left, and the eye, following the magnificent
valley of Paravadis, distinguishes in fine weather the deep
ba of Viruses the Blaca Sea. Crossing a steep range of
hills, by • defile commanded by a redonbt—probably at pre-
sent by many such fortifications—we come at length in
'leant the great defenaive works of &Annals, to reach
which the road makes • considerable aarre."—Dickens's

TO !NI TIMOR OP PRI ISPZESII._

15siorilehsevieireceiiiiiiiraern the
attention of the bishops anti, the laity to the grow scandal
of selecing aged and infirm incumbents for vacant livings,
independent of the offence is the eyes of God of making
such a choice for the guardianship of Christ's church. The
real and only motive is an opprobium to any Christian
country,namely, to make the most money in the sale of cures
of souls. The recto ry of Roughens be. just been so filled
up with an Invalid of 88, in spite of Mr. Osborne's remarks
as to this very living. It is also notorious that many of
these aged individuals have often the greatest difficulty in
reading themselves in. A few years ago the same thing
occurred in a parish adjoining Brighton (Ovingdean). A
clergyman was selected who was quite unable from infirm-
ity to do his own duty in his own parish, at 80 years of age,
after it had been offered sad declined by a more aged and
wealthy clergyman, in which the more a man is bodily in-
capacitated for his parish duties, the better is it for the
sale, as in all probability his tenure of the living and its
profit* will be short, sad the purchaser the sooner obtain
possession. There is something so anti-Christian and un-
holy in the whole proceeding, that the especial attention of
the governing powers of the church should be directed to
some decisive measures for its discontinuance.

A TERRIBLE WIDOW.—On the morning of Au-
gust 29th (says a correspondent of the New Orleans True
Delta, writing from Hot Springs, Arkansas) a widow
who keeps n respectable boarding-house here, and about
whom slanderous reports had been circulated by • man
pretending to be a gentleman, having heard of his conduct,
proceeded, in company with her brother and another per-
son, to inflict on the slanderer personal chastisement. The
brother acid his friend were armed. They walked up the
street and met the slanderer,. who, it appeared, was also
armed. They took his arms from him and marched hint
down the street opposite the house were the widow was,
fully prepared to give hint a warm reception. She was
armed with a cowhide. Her brother and his friend advised
their prisoner to stand and take what the widow was about
to give him. Seeing no chance of escape, he had to do it,
though sorely against his will. The widow commenced,
and did not cease until she had administered two hundred
lashes, well laid on. The man then had his arms given
up to him and was advised to leave the diggings, which
he did.

ADELPHI.

A stew farce, entitlad Whitebait at Greenwich, was
produced hen last night, with entire and deserved nose,
Mr. Benjamin Buzzard (Mr. Garden) and his sister Miss
Lucretia (Mrs Leigh Murray) are both secretly married,
the former to their domestic Sally (Miss Fanny Maskell),
tie latter to their lodger, Mr. Glimmer (Mr. Selby.)
I Neither dare avow their marriage, as the discovery would
involve the transference of some property, expected from
an aunt, from the married to the unmarried party. The
servant Sally, being out of favour with Miss Lucretia from
the marked attentions paid her by the supposed bachelor
brother, has received notice to quit from the indignant
sister, and is to be replaced by a young man who presents
himself, in the person of one John Small (Mr. Keeley.) Now
this John Small happens unfortunately to have been for-
merly waiter at the Crown and Sceptre at Greenwich,
where Buzzard and his Sally and Glimmer and his Lucretia
had (each pair unknown to the other), spent the day of
their surreptitious marriages. Small has no recollection of
the parties, but by a series of most amusing and well sus-
tained ertspoques, is supposed by each to be in possession
of their secret, which be is bribed on all sides not to
betray. Small has his own secret too—he is in search of
a father, his only clue to whom is that his christian name
is Besjamin and that he stands 5 feet 7in his stockings.
Fully possessed with the notion that he shall one day find
this parent, he carries with him a measuring tape; and
no sooner does he hear that Mr. Buzzard is a Benjamin,
than be applies his measure, and !lading the height
to be the required 6 feet 7, immediately assumes that he
has found hie long-lost parent. Here ensues • fresh
imbroglio; and the fun is sustained to the uttermost until
all Janice are enlightened, the pair of marriages confessed,
and brother and sister agree to keep each other's secret
from their anti-connubial aunt. The Ism abounds in
comic situations, and the mystification and perplexity are
very cleverly sustained throughout. It was acted with
gnat spirit and vivacity on all hands. Keeley's bewilder-
ment on finding himself the supposed depositary of un-
known secrets was only equalled by his ludicrous outburst
of filial affection on the application of his measuring tape.
The piece was gives out for repetition every evening
amidst unanimous approbation, and will doubtless have a
ram. It is frost the pea of L. Kaddisea Norton.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.—Yzsm3DAT,

item= Ma. Colostomies Pati.ure.
Ise THZ NAIIIII FAT.
This insolvent, whose case has been several times before
the court, was brought up from Gloucester gaol, on his ap-
plication for a protecting order and discharge. Mr. Cooke
supported.
There was no opposition on the present occasion.
Mr. Commissioner Phillips granted the protecting order,
and ordered the discharge.
Ire as RODIST LOCLWOOD.
This ease was heard under the Protection Act.
Mr. Dowse opposed for a creditor who had a judgment
against the insolvent in a County Court. The schedule, as
filed, exhibited debts to 671., and it was afterwards stated
that they were 2751., and the insolvent now said he owed
his brother about 2001., contracted some years ago, which
would make his debts exceed 3001. As a trader he asked his
petition to be dismissed.
Mr. Commissioner Phillips made some strong remarks on
the case. The insolvent had been walking about with the
protection in his pocket for some time, when he well knew
that he had no right to it, as his debts were over 3001. He
would consider whether he should not order an indictment
for perjury under the We act. It was high time an expasple
was made.
The petition, as the debts were over 3001., was ordered to
be dismissed.
