n d in the hope that some good might rtsult, a meeting was
h. 1.1 on the top of the moor, at which • few speeches were
made; the nature and advantages of Mechanics Institutions
were replanted, as well as the method of forming them ; and
the encouraging belief was expressed that not a village need
be without some institution of this nature. The motley group
listened with interest and intelligence; and possibly even
this • handful of corn on the top of the mountain' may be the
seed of new institutes, which may train up pt unborn com-
munities in the piths of knorrletlas and virtne."j

THE POISONING CAMS AT flitlSTol...—Yeaterday
the inquest upon the holy of Mrs. Michael was resumed at
Bristol. It was proved by Mr. Ilerapath that there was so
arsenic in her remains, but there was mercury whether it
was administered u corroeive sublimate or u calomel it was
offpusihle at this distance of time to say. A very few grains
corrosive sutilimate would have caused death. It was
shown, upon the testimony of a surgeon, that she had taken
calomel in her last illness; and there being no further est-
dente to throw light upon the subject, the jury found "That
the deceased died on the 31st °tuber, 1314, but from what
cause is to the jurors uoknown."—The inquest on the little
boy, John Hill, was then resumed, and the sister of Mr. Hill
was called to show that after the death of the infant no one
remained in the b use hut Mr. Hill and the children, except
for a few hours in the day time. Mr. Hill cooked all the
victual., and prepared every meal, and gave the ehillren
their food himself. Ile also made tneir gruel and arrow
ro it, ant gave little John his u.dieine. Witness was not
in the house when the death took place, but she was told
that it took place at 10 o'clock in the morning, and lint at
night, as stated to Mr. Ilumpage. A druggist named Reed
proved that Mr. lull had purchased corrosive sublimate and
opium of him, but never arsenic. the jury, after a short
consultation, returned a verdict, "That deceased died from
the effects of arenic administered by his father ;" which is,
in short, &verdict of wilful 'minter.
CHANNEL
LETTERS FOR ME Ch ANNEL IsLANDS.—We stated
last Tuesday that the Lords of the Admiralty had con-
sented to alter the time fur the departure of the Channel
Islands mails fruit Southampton from 'even o'clock in the
evening to one o'clock in the morning, and also to the doing
away of the Sunday mail from Jersey and Guernsey; and
we pointed out the great adventure of these al•eratons to
the tah.,bitants of the Channel Islands. Their lordships
have ordered these alterations to take place front the lit of
July neat. Toe mail steamers will start twin Southampton
for Jersey and Guernsey after the above period at one
o'clock in the morning on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Satur-
days, and from Jersey and Guernsey on Mondays, Wednes-
days, and Fridays, at eight o'clock in the morning. The
days thereftre for posting correspondence for the Channel
Islands will be changed 'rem the mornings of Tuesdays,
Thursdays, and Saturdays, to the evening of Mondays, Wed-
nesdays, and Fridays.

MR. JOHN PARRY'S CONCERT.—This clever and
favourite singer gave his annual eoneert lut night at the
Hanover—qu ire (towns. It was a very agreeable selection
of music (chi, fly vocal) performed by the Misses Williams,
Madame Sabatier, Miss Lucombe, Signor and Madame F.
LlblJehe, Mr. Reeves, and several other vocalists, besides
Mr. Parry himself. He himself was as entertaining as
usual. He gave, for the first time, a new scene called " The
Rehearsal of an Opera," in which he alone, with the help of
his own accompaniment on the pianoforte, imitated the per-
formance of three principal singers, Miss Thrush, the
soprano; Mr. Dove, th,• teaor; and Mr. !Jaren, the bass,—
with an i .strumentil band and a chorus. In the production
of such effrets, Mr. Parry is quite unrivalled ; and his ex-
travaganzas are not on'y most ludicrous and amusing, hut
full of reel musical beauty. He also gave his " Master and
Pupil " a capital wire on fashionable teaching of singing;
and his " Tate History of England." It is scarcely neces-
sary to say that his performances were most vehemently Sp
!lauded—this bring the reception they never fail to me, t
with. There was an overflowing audience, the great room
being crowded to the very doors.
BEETHOVEN QUARTET SOCIETY.—The meeting of
this society, last evening, was full of interest. They have
taken a wider range this season than they did previously ;
and, instead of confining themselves to the works of Beet.
hoven, they have mingled them with those of Haydn,
Moo irt, and Mendelseohe ; thus giving edditi•tnal variety to
their performances, and at the same time fulfilling the object
of doing " honour to Beethoven." The cxecumnts last night
were Messrs. Molique, Sainton, Hill, and Rouuelot. The
quartets were Haydn's 82.1 in E, Alnyert's sth in A,lll,zartk
'd in I) min. r, and Beethoven's 13th in B fist. They were
exquisitely performed, and k, enly relished by the assem-
blage of amateurs who formed the audience. Beethoven's
quartet, especially, made a very strong impreroion; its fiery,
impassioned, wild, and most original style, presenting a
striking contrast to the more regular and familiar produe
tior aof Haydn and Mt sort. Nothing could be more mas-
terly than M. Molique's development of the meaning of
this 'wonderful composition ; by means of his own thorough
compr. hension of it lie made every part of it much more
clear, and consequently more beautiful, than it had ever ap-
peared to us before. Two movements—the " Presto" and the
" Cayenne "—were called for a second time. In Mosart's
quartet in D minor, which was led by Mr. Saintnn, the tine
minuet and trio were also encored. The meeting (as has
been the case during all the season) was very numerously
attended.
