received it commUnieation from Mr. Baron Martin, directing

found in the possession of Pierce, one of the bullion robbers,
to be delivered up to Mr. Rees, the solicitor to the South
Eastern 'ltsilway, in trust for the benefit of Fanny Kay and
her infant child. This proceeding is believed to be quite
contrary to the understanding that was come to when the matter
was argued in the Court of Exchequer Chamber last week,
and it is said that the Corporation of London intend to resist
the making of the order.

ANOTHER CONVICT OUTRAGE AT PORTSMO UTII. —On
Monday morning early, wi.ile ose of the convicts in a
gang, watched over by a warder named Aston, was being
searched, the latter received a stab in the neck from a large
clasp knife, which nearly deprived him of life on the spot,
as the wound went the depth of the blade, and was close
to the jugular vein. Aston lies in a very dangerous state.
How the convict became possessed of the murderous
weepoa remains at present a mystery. This is the fourth
attempt on the lives of the convict keepers of the Ports-
mouth establishment during a year.
THE KING OF HANOVER AND TILE MASONS.—A, letter
from Frankfort says that the King of Hanover, on being
lately received as a member of a Masonic Lodge, accepted
the title of Protector and Gran 3 Mister of all the lodges of
his kingdom. But on the occasion a modificition was made
in the statutes of the order, to the effect that as the order
is exclusively Christian, no person professing the Jewish
religion can henceforth be admitted into a Hanoverian
lodge. This decision has excited great opposition in most
of the lodges of Germany, and it is said that the Great
Orient will shortly make an energetic protest against it.

PENINSULAR VETBRANS BEFORE ROYALTY.—In June,
1839, he had gone to the Court to be invested with the
Ribbon of the Bath, and on his return ha made the fol-
lowing striking entry in his journal :—" In the midst of
embroidery, gold lace, stars, orders, titles, and a crowd of
soldiers, I met many an old comrade of the Peninsular
war—worn, meagre, greyheaded, stooping old men, sinking
fast 1 I too have one leg in the grave. When we had
last been together we were young, active, full of high
spirits, dark or auburn locks I Now all are changed,
all are parents, all full of cares. Well, the world is
chained hand to hand, for there were also young soldiers
there, just fledged, meet companions for their young-
Queen ; they too will grow old, but will they have the
memory of battles when like us they hurry towards
the grave ? There was our pretty young Queen
receiving our homage, and our old shrivelled • bodies
and grey heads were bowed before her throne, intimating
our resolution to stand by it as we had stood when it was
less amiably filled : I wonder what she thought of us old
soldiers We must have appeared to her like wild beasts,
and I dare say she looked at us as she looks at the animals
in the Zoological Garden. Lord Hill is old and has lost
his teeth; poor. Sir John Jones looked like a ghost;
and Sir Alexander Dickson is evidently breaking.
Thinking how these men had directed the British thun-
ders of war, I saw that death was the master, the
brilliance of the court vanished. and the grim spectre
stared me in the face : his empire is creeping over all I
Yes ! we are in the larder for worms , and apparently
very indifferent venison."

RATS.—There are two objections to the common mode of
killing rats by laing rois,n for them; first, the dauger to
which it exposes other animals, and even human beings;
second, the possibility that the rats, having partaken of it,
may retire to their holes, and dying there, cause an intoler-
able stench, and produce numerous crawling insects. Greer's
Patent Anti-Vermin Mixture for the immediate destruction
of rats and mice, is free from these objections and has
effectually cleared dwelling houses, ships, and other places,
that were much infested with these destructive and
disagreeable inmates. The smell of the bait will attract
the vermin from their holes, and it being such a special
delicacy to them, they will devour it with greediness,
and die on the spot. To be had at the Anti Vermin
Office, 49, Brownlow hill, Liverpool, at 6d, Is, and 4s each.
Can be sent free by post to any part of the United Kingdom,
America, Australia, ota—Advt.
