of fearful pains in her head. She thought, sho mid, that

ROOM.

Last evening the anniversary meeting of This
institution was held at Duck-lane. Westminster, Sir R. W.
CAILDILY presiding. Thisolub and reading-room, which are
in couuexion with the Oue Tun Ragged-school, were estab-
lished last you. for the purpose of - affording the caster-
mongers, hawkers, street sweepers, mid labouring popula-
tion generally, of the ndghbourhood the means of useful
and ret,onal recreation after the labours of the day. The
affairs of the institution are managed by aeommittes of the
men themselves, sad they have been conducted up to the
present time with order and success. A payment of
a halfpenny • week entitles any working man to
be elected • member of the club, with the approval
of the committee. A peony bank MAX established
in mane:ion with the club, and during the year 211. was
paid in by members, and 211. withdrawn. A mutual aid
society was also formed, into which 211. has been paid in

lectures are delivered ones • fortnight oa various subjects ;
a religious servile is held every Sunday evening in the
reading-room, and coffee, tea, lie., provided for rnemhets at
cost pries. The benefits of the institution have been so
well appreciated that an additional room was re-
quired for the large and still incressiog number of members.
This accommodation has been supplied. and its °peeing was
the immediate mammon of the inciting lest night. h ap-
pears that the managers still require 9:V. for the liquids-
ties of the east of the building—• trilling sum, which ought
not to be allowed long to fetter the efforts of en institution
which is doing so much good amongst a class of society
which has hither to bees shut out from almost every human-
ising and elevating influence.
The meeting was addressed by the chairman, the Rev. G.
W. feCree, Mr. Payne, Rev. .7. Rogers and others.
'freight to be known that the founder and one of the
most active promoters of the institution is Miss Adeline
Cooper, and that it is indebted for no smell portion of its
raceme to her co-operation and influence.

sumed his second innings to the bowling of Robinson. In
the course of an hour he received 50 halls, from which be
mute one two and five singles, thus adding seven to his

pitch, sad struck his oft wicket, closing his innings fur 21
runs from 126 balls. Heavy rain prevented the resumption

COURT OP ALDERMEN.

A Court of Aldermen was holden on Saturday,
after the adjournment of the Common Hall.
The Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR presided, and the
newly-apoointed sheriffs took their meta for the first time
in their official capacity.
Kr. Alderman Wiusou made a motion thnt the reading of
the minutes of the previous meeting of this court, and also
those of the Court of Common Council, should be discos.
tinued in future unless required by any member of the
court.

After • short discussion, however, the motion was with-
drawn.
Mr. Alderman HALE presented a petition from the in-
habitants of Watling-street, praying the court to remove a
011111111C0 created by cart• being allowed to stand there.
Referred to the Geoeral Purposes Committee.
Mr. Alderman SAI.OIION3 calied the attention of the court
to the fact that he had been informed by Mr. Martin, the
chief clerk, while sitting in his magisterial capacity at Guild-
ball, theta magistrate had no power to commit a boy under
fourteen years of age to • reformatory, and that he
could only do so, as the law at present stood, by committing
him to the Old Bailey. He thought it very desirable that
the magistrates should have this power, and a case had re-
cently been brought before him where he should certainly
have exercised it if be could have done so. He suggested,
therefore, that the subject should be referred to the
General Purposes Committee.
Alderman DALIN said that in a short time • scheme would
be carried out by which a portion of the revenues of Bride-
well Hospital would be appropriated to the extension of the
King Edward Schools, and the magistrates of the City of
London would have en opportunity of seeding • certain
number of boys to that school, which would be used as a re-
formatory. As this was the case, the worthy &Merman would
probably consider that it was unnecessary to adopt the pro-
ceeding he suggested.
After a few words from Alderman SALOIIOIIB the motion
was agreed to.
A diseneniou then took place upon some private matter,
with closed doom, after which the court adjourned.

ATTEMPTED MATRICIDE.

The Norfolk News says—" The little village of
Tat Monks, about three miles from Beetles, was this
morning (Thursday) thrown Into a state of great alarm,
in coesequerce of a young man named Martin Pearce
having attempted to murder his mother. Pearce, who
is a single man, resides with his mother at her farm,
and having had some altercation with her upon family
matters, vowed with an imprecation that he would
murder her and destroy the premises. He left the room,
and his mother immediately locked the door. Pearce the
fetched his gun and proceeded to the apartment in which
his mother had secured herself. Finding the door fastened,
Pearce fired through the keyhole. A female servant,
observing his conduct, had warned her mistress of his
intentions, by which means Mrs. Pearce was enabled, by
shifting her position, to escape uninjured. A policeman
was immediately sent for, but Pewee absconded and pro-
ceeded to Yarmouth. In the afternoon be returned by
train to Beccles, at which station the police apprehended
him, and conveyed him to London."
Another account states that the attempt arose in conse-
quence of Mrs. Pearce's remonstrating with her eon on the
attentions he was paying to her maid servant. Mrs.
Pearce had offered him a cheque for upwards of a hundred
pounds if he would leave the house altogether ; but be
refused to aooept it, and then fetched the gun.
On Saturday he was taken before the Rev. Mr. Smith,
one of the local magistrates. His mother was_preeeat
with another son, a farmer residing at Ingatestone, Esse:.
Superintendent Ward, of the Norfolk police, preferred
an information against the prisoner, charging him with
having discharged his gun at his mother with intent,
feloniously and with malice aforethought, to kill and
murder her.

The nnsoner'4 brother suggested that he might be bound
over to keep the peace.
Superintendent Ward said be bad reuon to believe that
be should be in a position to offer evidence to support the
charge.
Mil. NUM said she did not believe her son had intended
to murder her. His object had simply been to intimidate her.
The pnvoner's brother added that the gun had been
aimed so that the shot went down towards the floor, a fact
which supported the conclusion that the object had been
mere intimidation.

Mr. Smith said it was too serious a matter to be disposed
of as suggested, and remanded the prisoner till the 9th of
October.

EARL RUSSELL IN NEWCASTLE.

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE. MONDAY Nuarr.
The ueble Earl Resat.ll vi.ihal Newcaatle-npon-
Tyae to-day, and was the subject of a most enthusiastic
receptios. In the afternoon he was met by a crowded
meeting of the inhabitants in the Nelsonstreet.
and wet there presented with an address (which we pub-
lished 'yesterday). Alderman Ilaant.asi. M. li, occupied
the chair, and Mr. Councillor W. L. Had. presented the
address.

Earl Re,,ert.i., on riming to respond, was received with rap-
turous applause. In the course of his reply, the noble earl
seid—Those refuting in which be had taken part were ne-
cessarily slow ; the nature of our institutiens and the
genius of our people, while they sanction and promote to the
utmost freedom of discussion, are adverse to Deedless
change, and it therefore behoue every friend of progress to
wait with patience and to argue with calmness till
public opinion is fully convinced, and the national
mind puts its seal on the measures introduced
into the legislature. From this maturity of deliberation it
follows as a consequence that our steps in the direction of
popular privileges are seldom or never retraced, and that
path which has been painful and arduous in the ascent is
easy and tranquil on the summit. This difficulty in attain-
ment, and this eue when the object is attained, mut
have been seen in the change from religious disability
to religious liberty, from protection to free toady
from education neglected to education encouraged, from
the representation of decayed boroughs to the repre-
sentation of Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham, Sheffield,
and other great mats of trade and manufacture. These
facts were encouraging to the friends of pmgreas, and
showed the excellence of our constitution, which, while it
represses every disorder, admits every improvement, and,
like a well•built ship, combines speed, safety, and buoyancy,
will stability.

SPAIN.

Some of the Madrid journals of the 10th state
that the demands which Spain makes on Mexico
are these :-1. Ample satisfaction for the dismissal
of the Spanish Ambassador, the said satisfac-
tion to consist in sending a special represen-
tative of the republic to Madrid to offer
excuses. 2. The formal recognition of the
Mon Almoute treaty, and the payment of claims
which have arisen since it was suspended. 3. The
punishment of the persons who have ill-treated or
wronged Spanish subjects, and as indemnity for the
capture of the frigate Concepcion ; and, 4, guaran-
tees for the fulfilment of these conditions. In the
event of Mexico not consenting to accord these de-
mands, the Spanish fleet and troops are, say the
journals, to seize Vera Cruz or Tampico. The ex-
President of the republic of Mexico, General Mira-
mon, had arrived iu Madrid.

LYCEUM.

The manager. Mr. FAlmuml Falconer, appears to
have gone in without metre for the Hibernian drama, to
which the fortunes of the Golder', Bars at • neighbouring
theatre have of Lite given so decided an impetus. With
the Peep o'Dny, which is having quite • run, be has pre-
sented to hie Christmas pain= • new version of Little Red
Riding Hood, with an Irish episode and • double "tre-
mendous header.* The writer of the piece is Mr. Leicester
Buckiogham, who by a sort of Niebuhr Lin process has re
solved the famous myth of our nurseries into an amatory
persecution, of which • barna bight W.. 11 is guilty. The
scenery, including a panorama of the Lake. of Killarney,
ley Mews. Grieve mid Telbin, is superb. The dresses are
also very gay, and admirably emanated, so that, on the
whole, the piece is of an exceedingly plemant and cheerful
character.

OLYMPIC.

The King of the bferrows ; "r, the Prince and the
Piper, is the title et the piece which, plot constructed by
Mr. Pa!grave Simpson, and joke furnished by Mr. F. O.
Borland, is presented as the Christmas festivity for the
Olympic audience. All the character. did their beet, and a
very beautiful " hat scene" brought the curtain down
amidst loud applause.

No Christmas novelty was produced at this house,
the Octoroon and the undying Cohan Barn being con-
sidered sufficiently attractive. In consequence of the illness
of Mrs. Boucicault, the part of the:heroine was played by
Miss Ranee, an adopted daughter of the late M. Jullien, and
a member of a well-known theatrical family, who exhibited
great promise. The house was crammed.

PRINCEMPet.

The renowned bourgeon legend of Whittington
and his Cat be, furnished to Mr. H. Byron the raw MAO"
rials from which he has worked op the introduction to gee
pantomime of this thesis,. It may be doubted whether a
smart young lad arriving pensileas within the mood of Bow
bells do these days weald ever dream of enpging in a specu-
lation like that el Dick Whittingtoo. Unhappily the fell/aspen-
penalties of too many of them takequitia different directiom
as the reoords of the police court/ bear testimony. Still
who %hall my how many reputable and wealthy chimes,
without having exactly iavested in "cat's meat," may not
have their imagination kindled and their purisms
strengthened by the deep import which often "lurks in the
legend told their infant years." However this may be, this
" Lun'un Legend" has furnished an inexhaustible supply et
the very best material to the constructors of pantomime.
