LINCOLNaIItIa.
BLit-non Removes. —lt is declared that Mr. Chris.
Tuner, one of the members of the south division of Liu-
cebishire, has it in contemplation to retire; and a corm
spondent states that " a feeler is being put about as to
whether Mr. Was. Parker, of Hanthorpo House, near
Bourn, would be an acceptable substitute." The same
writer says It it now certain that there will be four
eandidates fur the representation of Lincoln. vis the pre-
sent members, Col. Sibtborp and Mr. W. R. Collett, and
Sir E. L. Bulwer Lytton and Mr. C. Seeley. The Con-
servative freemen hod a meeting on Thursday last, when it
was determined that Mr. Collett's cause should not be aban-
doned, se was intended by some of that gentleman's sup-
porten. The next election will present some curious fea-
ture, ; the terms Whig and lon seem to be no longer re-
cognised—the contest will be eutitely personal."

BRUTAL FIGHT wII:BI;(OI7EItHATIPTON.—VREDICT 07
MANSLAUGHTER AGAINST THREE MEN.—On Friday last an
inquest was held on the body of Richard Harper, a miner,
who Was killed in a fight at Monuore-green, on the Satur-
day previous. The invest gatioo commenced on Monday,
but we., then adjourned, in order to afford time for a post-
mortem; examination. Front the evidence adduced, it ap-
that the deceased, together with William Evans,
rdrlrai m Harris, Isaac Iladlty, and a number of other per-
mit were drinking, when a quarrel arose between
the deoeased and William Evans, and they left
the house for the purpose of fighting. Three rounds were
foneht in the road opposite the house, in each of which
Harper was knocked down by Evans, and when hit the last
time he was rendered insensible and unable to get up.
Harris seconded the deceased, and Hadley backed Evans.
After the deceased was knocked dawn the third time Harris
and Evans fought, and it appears that the deceased was left
lying in the road, little or no attention being given to him,
one of the witnesses stating that he saw him lying under a
window, quite dead and cold, about half an hour after the
fight. A poet-nsorress examination of the body was made
by Mr. Rdwardes, surgeon, who rated he found a bruise
upon the region of the stomach, and that congestive apo-
plexy of the brain appeared to be the cause of death, which
a blow upon the stomach would produce. The jury returned
a verdict of " Manslaughter against William Ensue as the
prineipal, and against William Minis and Isaac Hadley as
accemories." Evans is sot at resent in custody, having ab.
wooded, but the two wends, who were in custody, were
eenamitted for trial.

tAoost;st7 ettTrasheid near Reva;ury
day, last, on the body of Mary Josey, an sped woman of that
parish. It appeared that the old woman was addicted to
tippling. and had gone to Reading by the carrier's cart on
Saturday, the 6th test., and, it would appear, got very much
intoxicated on the occasi in. The same evening, at seven
o'clock, she wu discovered Loy two men, in the parish of
Pangboura, in a helpless state, and unable to take care of
herself. They moved her to (erne cottaws, but the in-
mates refused to take her in. Thomas 'Rose then took
charge of the woman, while George Ricketts, his com-
pardon, drove to Pangbourn to procure assistance,
and applied to the assistent-overseer, Mr. J. Butler, who
refused to have anything to do with her. Ricketts again
urged the absolute necessity of taking care of her.
Shortly afterwards Rose came down for the same object, and
addruoing Butler, said, " For God's sake attend to the
woman, for I think she is dying." Butler still refusing to
interfere, Ricketts and Rose went back to the place where
they left her, and found that two men had removed her to a
cow-shed belonging to Mr. Hewitt, a guardian, by his per-
mission. Next day the woman was taken home, being cold
and insensible, and died soon afterwards. After hearing a
great deal of evidence, the coroner cleared the room, to allow
the pity to deliberate on their verdict. In half an hour, a
message was sent to the coroner, who returned to the room,
when the foreman of the jury declared a verdict of " Man-
slaughter against John Butler, the assistant-overseer of
Pangbourn," who was committed to Reading gaul fur trial.
The inquest lasted five hours.

CXAMITII—The Brighton Herald states that " there is
a lady rosidissi not a thousand miles front Brighton, well
connected and in independent circumstances, who purchases
at a time bar or live pounds' worth of men's shirts, collars,
and other articles of the kind, which she gives to • poor
woman to sea, and, in order to assist the nals do styes the
woman a letter signed with her own name width diss is in-
graded to take to various persons. The letter am—
' In the name of Jesus,' and it then goes onteslnnetbat
the bearer is a person in humble life in diitreas,and Out ow
person purchasing the collars which she (the lady) 'Us
made herself,' they will confer a favour on her (the mid Isdr).
Thus armed with instructions, the poor woman conamealtes
her trading and charitable operations. The *Aft oe.,
which the lady bought at 6d., Bd., and Is. each, is mobs a
price on herself. The siiperiny ones are to be NM Sit ta.;
the eightpenny ones at 2e. tkl., and so on. If the toss
sell above 30s. worth in a day, she is paid Is. by her palreoses
for her day's work ; if she sell a less number, she is paid only
sixpence a day ; and she complains that she u not sufficiently
remunerated ; and this is how thew facts became known."

STATUE OF PORTIA, BY J. O. LOUGH.—As a kind
of companion figure to the "Neapolitan Fisher Boy" of Mr.
Hiram Powers, the Hems. Graves have added a marble
standing statue of Shakspeare's " Pettis," recently executed
by Mr, Laugh for Sir Matthew Ridley. The figure is some-
what hoary towards the extremities, and the head is covered
with a turban, which in marble invariably looks heavy.
The conception, too, is somewhat massive, though the ex-
pression is dignified, sad the earring better than is usual
with Mr. Lough.
EGYPT AND NUBIA, BY D. ROBERTS. PART I.—A
charming first number, containing three large lithographs,
three small, and a title vignette, all by Heghe, after David
Roberts. The work ranges in size and appearance with
"Roberts's Holy Land," and deserves to form a companion
series to that most interesting work. The letter-press, by
Hroekedon, is carefully written, and the whole "gettin us
d"
in Alderman Moon's best manner. In the threelarge
stapes the skies, even in the " printa," are washed in with
colour.
SIR I).WILKIE'S SPANISH AND ORIENTAL SKETCHES.
—A volume of sketches, twenty-six in number, lithographed
by Joseph Nash, from pictures and finished drawings in the
possession of her Majesty, the Marquis of Lansdowne, Sir
William Knighton, Mr. Samuel Rogers Mr. Utterson, Mr.
Torino. and others. Of the Spanish sketches, the " Spanish
Pesada, or Guerilla Council of War," is the most ambitious,
and " A Spanish Senorita attended by her Nurse," perhaps
the most successful. A series of sketches by Wilkie, similar
in size and appearance with the present volume, was pub-
lished by the Messrs. Graves, in 1843. The two volumes
serve to illustrate and explain one another.
HoN. MR. HARDINCIE'II SEPTCHES.—A correspon-
dent (lltonensis) informs us that Mr. Hardinge's first mas-
ter was Mr. Evans, of Eton; so that it portion of the meri
ascribed to Mr, J. D. Harding must be transferred to Mr.
Evans, in our notice of his sketches on Wednesday, for the
branch of art he unquestionably excels in. The Hon. Mr.
Hardinge, we may observe, c,uld scarcely have had more
comyetcat teachers.

PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY.—This society has corn-
awed its thirty-fourth season. Established in 1813, by the
union of the most eminent musicians then resident in Lon-
. dos, its fame immediately spread throughout Europe, and
the greatest performers considered a successful appearance
. at a Philharmonic concert en object of ambition. To a
o
importance;nsperform, such an appearance was of the
it set the seal upon ho repute-
.
lion, and gave him rank and station in his profes.
lion. This high position the society has continued to
maintained. For a time, indeed, it showed symptoms of do-

nay, but thaw symptom have disappeared, end it appear, to
have renewed its youthful strength and rigour. The
crowded room last night, the animated aspect of the audi-
ence, and the excellence of the music, reminded us of the
most high and palmy days of the Philharmonic Society. The
orchestra presented the usual array of talent, and was con-
ducted by Signor Coate, whose perm t appointment
',to this odlee has mainly contributed to the society',
present prosperity.
