LORD CHESTERFIELD.

When Lord Chesterfield arrived in Ireland, as Lord
Lieutenant, all the Catholic places of worship were closed.
A Mr. Fitzgerald saying luau in the obscure garret of a
condemned house, an illumine& crowd had assembled, and
the Sour giving way, the officiating priest, with many of his
Sock, were buried in the ruins, and the greavr number
were maimed or wounded. Lord Chesterfield, horror-
struck at the event, ordered that all the chapels in the
capital should be opened on St. Patrick's day, and they
have never since been closed.

A zealous Protestant, thinking to pay his court to the
Lord Lieutenant, came to inform him that one of his
coachmen was a Roman Catholic, and went privately to
mass. " Does he, indeed?" said his Lordship; " then I
shall take care that he never drives me there. "—Chester-
,flelds lifenwirs.
The Dishcp of Waterford relates that the vice-treasurer,
Mr. Gardiner, a man of good char act.:r and considerable
fortune, waited upon Lord Chesterfield ore morning, and
in a great fright told him that lie was assured, upon gad
authority, that the people in the province of Connaught
were actually rising ; upon which the Viceroy locked at his
watch, and with great composure answered him, " It is
nine o'clock and time for them to rise ; I believe, there-'
fore, that your news is true." This sys. ,m of alarm, be it
observed, continut s in all its vigour to the present clay ;
and the actual Viceroy has to withstand the falsehood of
' the designing and the credulity of the nervous, full as
much as any of his Fed, et. s•wi J.—A-cry Monthly Magazine

DISTRESSING MISTAKE.

On Saturday an action was committed of such egrgious
folly, that one would think it would not be fleet :wary to
record its tragical results to prevent a repetition of it in
future. This, however, is the second instance of the same
kind that has happened within these two months.
About five weeks ago, a girl found in the ruins of an
old house a whitish powder, in a piece of paper, and car-
ried it home to her mother. The mother at first thought
it starch, and intended to use it as such. She afte,rwatds
determined that it should be held as cream of tartar; and
thinking the family needed physic, on Saturday mornine,
she dissolved it as such in water, and sweetened it with
sugar, taking some of it herself, and distributing the re-
mainder among three of her children. The whole four in
a few minutes began to complain of intolerable heat in the
stomach, and had continual vomiting. Medical aid was
instantly afforded them, but about two o'clock a girl cf
fifteen years of age died ; and a chili three years of al.:
died on Sunday morning. The mother is in a very bad state,
but is likely to recover; the other child is out of danger.
(In Saturday night an order was issued from a Magis-
trate to inspect the body of the girl, who had died on
Saturday, that it might be ascertained what was the dele-
terious substance. This, when intimated to the father,
enraged him to the highest pitch of frenzy, and he threat-
cued, with the imprecations of his country (Ireland), death
and destruction to the medical gentlemen to whin the
inspection was conflated. On Sunday morning the Su-
perintendent of Police repaired to the house, when the
father still showed his determination to resist the autho-
rity of the Magistrate, and began to use vitd_cie,r to the
police officers. lie was carried to the office in a state of
lure, and is still there. The inspection went on qaictly,
and it was found that the substance taken was arsenic.
The woman had kept the powder in her pocket all the.
while, and part of it was found there, which whey eaa
amined in the usual way. was found to be the sanse chemi-
cal substance.--Gleagole Herald.

EXTRAORDI.VARY C.4SE OF VAGRANCY.

Yesterday one of the officer77lte Mendicity Society waited on
the Magistrates of the I'nion Hall office Oa B. Allen and M.
! Swaby, kiqrs.), to prefer a charge of vagran whieh, he said,
involved a point of considetable importance. The question which
1 he wished to present to the view of the Magistrates was this :
Whether a man who exposed himself in the public streets for the
' purpose of collecting alms, without actually begging for relief, was
i a vagrant within the meaning of the Act lately passed for the sup.
, 1 prnwion of mendicity: The charge was this—A man, who was
well known to the Soetety as an incorrigible vagrant, was on Wed.
1 nesday evening appreheuded in the parish of Camberwell. near the
1 workhouse. exposing himself on the pavement, and begging for
' ! alms, by having inscribed before him, in large letters of chalk, on
, the atoms. "A native of America ; lam very ill, and starving for
wint o food !" This man was the same person who, a short time
I since, wet tal.en to Allarlimmogh-street
.police office, for colleting
alms by exhibiting a picture, representing the descent of the late
j Mr. Ilarris's balloon ; and the Justices, conveiving that the exhi.
titian it thnt picture was a mere pretence for disguising his real I
railing of begging. sentenced him to an imprisonment, from which!
he has not Is en brig liberated. The officer of the Society then
. gave a hion7 ,if the 1111,1.% exploits in the begging line, when_
: 3I:. 41 ii ex snit. that he was quite 14111Stil.`41 that he was a
; vagniot, wid•in the meaning of the Act, and as such he should

MURDERS.

Sunday evening, about half-past nine o'clock. Jamb
Wilkins, abotit 50 years of age, ostler at the Blucket
Norton St. Philip, Somersetshire, was murdered abott
half way up the bill, beyond the Fox public-boulle, at
Midford. Monday a young man, named James Reykolds
alias Walters, was brought before Edmund Andel**,
Esq., and the examination of witnesses lasted until neatly
eleven o'clock at night. The watch of the deceased VIM
found upon him ; and when Mr. George Goldstone, tk/
surgeon, who examined the body, produced some emaß
portions of the bone of the fractured skull of the deemed,
the agitation of the prisoner was remarkable. Reynolds
has been tried twice already—for horse-stealing, and fot
stealing apparel. Ile is not yet nineteen years old. An
inquest has been held on the body, and the verdict being
" Wilful Murder against Reynolds," he is committed for
trial.

Ent si au itc U, Ju LY M.—Yesterday morning, about three
o'clock, an old man, a porter, fell over a window, lye
stories high, in Jackson's-close, II igh-street, and was killed
upon the spot. As several persons had been drinking and
quarrelling in the house during the night, and immediate,.
before the fatal catastrrphe happened, a man named Sem-
ple, his wife, and the daughter of the old man who was
killed, have .ieen apprehended, on ruspicion of their being
instrumental in the man's death, he having probably fallen
or been knocked over the window during a squabble.
In qur paper of Wednesday, we gave a report of the trial
at the Clare Assizes, of litmora Concannon, for the nateder
of a poor beggar, named Iliggine. We have since learned,
that after the awful sentence of the law was passed upon her,
she still persisted in protesting her innocL nee, and continued
to do so until a few seconds before she was launched Into
eternity, when she admitted being concerned in the murder,
but refused to say whether she bad any accomplice or not
Nothing could equal the resistance ahe gave the execu-
tioner, she kicked him and bit his hands several tildes, mod
appeared to be in a perfect state of ikensy when knight to
the drop, which was done by
-force.
DROGHEDA, JULY 31.—We have heard that a treitibla
murder was committed on Friday, near Dundalk, on a

serve notices on tenants to pay their rents. It appal»,
from the marks on the head And face, this foal deed was
perpetrated by the prongs of a pitchfork and other (WM!'

GUILDHALL.

CI:TTING AND STAII/LIKU.--11 esterday Edward Aldridge was
put to the bar. charged with cuttieg and stabbing James Thistle-
ton. the son of the Officer of Hatton-garden. on Monday last.
Both buys were in the employment of Mr. Strachan, the King's
Printer, and Aldridge having gone home to tea, contrary to rule,
the younger Thistleton, with several other boys, followed Mtn home,
and temed him until he stabbed a knife he had in his hand into the
breast of the youth. who fell, and exclaimed, " you have killed
me." The wound was an inch and a quarter deep, but the boy
being declared out of drawer, the father said he had no wish to
mess the heavier part of the charge, and as, in the event of the
boy having died, the case would not have amounted to more than
manslaughter, thy prisoner was held to bail accordingly.

BOW-STREET.

Scarcely bad Sir Rtctt*an BiaxtsPLUG his seat yesterday,
when a tall gentlemanly West Indian was ushered into the office.
or rather followed, by a couple of officers. The gentleman was
evidently insane, for no sooner had begot within one yard of lair
Richard, than lie made a theatrical start, and staring at the Ma-
gistrate wildly, exclaimed, " Demme, I'm no slave, I'm free t
I'll board and lodge when and where I please 4. who dare say I
cannot eat a good dinner ? who's he? Demme he s a fool."

Sir RICHAID inquired what the unfortunate gentleman was
brought there for.

Henning, the °Meer, said he had been parading the streets much
in the same manner as he now addressed the Bench.
Upon being asked his name, he exclaimed. " Itty name's Rupert
—George Rupert, aye, and my mother's son. for I know wbrre the
hat lays"--acammanting his remark by violently flinging his hat
to the other side of the office.

The blagistrate inquired if there were any of the gentleman's
friend. present to take care of him?
Unfortunately nobody knew him. One Goodman. tapping him
on the shoulder. endeavoured to learn his address, by saying
familiarly, "come, come, Rupert, where do you reside ?" To
which he replied, " round in a square near Keppellastreet."—
" Who are your friends?" again asked the polite interferer.—."
Mackie, of the War Office," returned Mr. Rupert, at the
same time bowing to the ground to the person who addressed
hint.

As the unfortunate gentlemen had committed no breach of the
peace, he was permitted to go at large, which he did, by bursting
into a loud and hysteric laugh, and shouting, as he left the office,
l'm free—glorious liberty—who'll have a shilling"
Sir RI c HARD lit esti; regretted that a gentleman, apparently of
the first respectability, should be suffered to roam without friends,
wbil.t labouring under the effects of a brain fever.

ILITTON.GARDEN.
Yesterday Information was given to Mr. Read, the head officer
of this Police establishment, that the house of ill Mani Finder,
Esq. 13, Judd-place I:ast, Brunswick-square, was burglariously
entered Wednesday night, and robbed of • considerable quantity of
plate. Mr. Head immediately despatched Limbrick and Lee, two
active officers, to inspect the premises, who discovered that the
burglars gained admission at one of the back windows, which had
been incautiously left open on account of the heat of the weather.
The ruffians had crossed over several garden walls in the rear, and
haring effected the robbery without disturbing any of the family,
they made their escape undiscovered.
Joseph Wilfred Parkins, Esq. better known by the name of Ev-
sheriff I'arkins, has obtained a summons (a warrant being refined)
for the appearance of W. Seagood, Esq. of 66, Red Lion-street,
Cierkenwell, charging him with creating • riot, and causing •
crowd of people to assemble round his person, so as to put him in
fear and terror of his life. The hearing is appointed for Weatagesl:o/
newt, before Mr. Sergeant Seiko, M at Hatton-garden, r.
being absent from town, and not expected home till Tuesday.

TROUD, JUN. r. SIIITtt.

This was an anion of assault and battery, brought by the 'plain-
tiff, a lad 14 years of age in the Semite of Mr. Lee, a danc'hg-
, master in this neighbourhOod, against Mr. Smith, a farmer, livit.g
opposite to Mr. Lee. It appeared that some fowls had been driven
by the lad upon the premixes of the defendant, who came out with
a horse-whip, and asked the plaintiff why he had driven the fowls
into his garden. The boy wise the defendant a saucy answer, who,
in his turn, applied the horse-whip to him. and cut his face. It
appeared, in the cross-examinathin of Froud's witnesses, that there
had been a dispute between the defendant and Lee, and that
the son of the latter was an attorney, and that Mr. Smith bad been
indicted and acquitted at the Quarter Sessions, in consequence of,
the absence of the prosecutor and his witnesses.
Mr.liir ;my-ft, for the defence. afur congratulating the plaintiff 'a
attorney on the brilliant manner in which he had commenced his
career in the profession, observed, that his friend. Sergeant Span kie,
who had recently returned from India, had alluded the other day,'
in a use of a similar description to this, to a coin there, the value
of which was about the one-hundreth part of a farthing. Ile re-
gretted such a coin did not exist in this country for the purposes of
the present action, that the Jury might mark their contempt of it
by giving that sum to the plaintiff; but he trusted they would not
give the plaintiff more than one farthing damages.
The Liner Jerrice said, that if the Jury wereof opinion
that, after the indictment at the Session', this action ought tint to
have bent brought, and that it would not have been brought if
Mr. Let's naiad not been an attorney, then they would do
well to frustrate the attempt at obtaining costs, by giving the
plaintiff the smallest possible damages.
The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—damages one
fudging.

LOSS OF THE DELIGHT SLOOP OF 11%1R.

Extract of a letter from the Agents to Lloyd's at the
Cape of Good Hope, dated May ?2, 1 S'.? :
" Tbe brig Venus, Kilgour, arrived in Table Bay this
.slay from Mauritius, sailed 19th ult., and from Algoa Bay
ire.' which enables us to add some further particu-
.lire to those stated in our last letter to you. He states,
Atat two severe hurricanes wese experienced at Mauritius,'
'ape on the 211 February, and the other on the 10th of
it month • the former proved most destruetive to the
• shipping,• and the latter to the houses and crops on the
Island.—(Here follows a list of vessels driven on shore, &c.l
ut-;ifg the first hurricane, which we hare previously
po en. )
" The total leas of his Majesty's ship Delight seems nol
longer to remain doubtful. Captain Kilgottv states, that
ti.e last that was seen of her was on the evening of the Vd
February, when she was seen standing into Port Louis,
and that after the gale was over Several pieces of her wreck
wa-hed on shore, which were identified by the Assistant
Surgeon, and Mr. Murray, Master's Mate of the Delight,'
who had been left behind ; such as two binnacles, a part
of the gun room, bulk-head, upon which some of the
wows of the gun-room officers had been cut or written, lid
of the carpenter's chest, with his name upon it, floating
over Captain Hay's cabin, part of the log-board, &c. Ste.
1* appears the Delight was returning from Providence
hand to Port Louis, with V 23 slaves on board, that had
b.f:n stud from the wreck of a French vessel, as the Port
Caort:a at Port Louis had been despatched some time pre-
s Acts to die 29d February, in a vessel taken up by Govern-
inenf, to bring the said slaves from Providence. and found
th it the Delight had been there before him, and had taken
them on board. On the 10th April the island of Mauritius
*.uffered severely ; our informant states that scarcely a tree
µ•as left standing ; many of the houses were blown down,
and the Crops completely destroyed. In addition to the
vessels already mentioned as lost, we have to add the
Gcwcroor Brisbane, Nolbraw."

that thous Prizes are generally sold at my Offices, and the result
has proved the correctness of toy anticipation, for I sold No, 15,7:4,
the 30.0004. Prize, drawn the 341 instant, in Seven Shares and I
am happy to find the present I (infractor has adopted my plan, as
he has introduced Twu 341,000/. ; therefore I look forward
to next month adding to the already splendid List of 30,0001.
Capitals sold by me, for I sold the first ever drawn, the last ever
drawn, Three in tine Lottery, and Fourteen other 30.11001. Prizes.
I do not hesitate ackrtmledging. that the present Scheme is an
improvement upon mine, for, in addition to the Two 31.1,0001.
Prizes, there arc Two of 20,01101. and various other Capitals, and
my arrangement of not having any Blanks is continued ; but the
principal feature in the New t,cheitie is, that some persons niit
for the trifling Risk of 41. 195., get the Two 211,0001. Prizes, and
all the other ;spite's may be stained by an equally trifling Risk;
' and far less than Ten Shilling, 1,2L01. must he obtained.

TO THE EDITOR OF BRITISH PRESS.
On returning from Kensington to Knightsbridge last night. It
the hour of nine o'clock, it was so dark that I was constantly
danger of coming in contact with the lamp-poets (which by-!'o.
bye are nearly the colour of the mad, for 'want of painting), but
WAS preserved from accident by feeling my war with my umbrella
Now. Sir, I wish to know how it is that this 'I rust, which let theis

cannot allind to light their road on these dark nights as well was
Uxbridge Trust, which has been lighted with gas for the last three
nights at least, and where there cannot be anything like the resent'
collected as on that of the Kensington Trust ?
If the lives of his Majesty's subjects are to be thus eirsed
te
accident, by this apparent parsimoiious neglect, the sooner the rid
is remedied the better; and as the Kensington Trust easing in a
few months, it is to be hoped Parliament will pause ashihsints
they renew it, and, if found expedient, take It into their acs
hands, or by means of an Act appoint a Committee of etkent,
intelligent, and competent persons to manage it, who shall be
sab-
ject to the proper control and responsibility.

By A. 1; I EUSSEUX.
" It is not the greatest merit of this publication, but rather an
extraordinary eircunistanee which enhances its value, that it is
written by a native of Italy, a Florertine in the British service,
who udds to the intelligence and knowledge attributable to this fact,
the power of expressing himself purely and vigorot:sly in the
English language. But ,f the style be praiseworthy, we are bound
to say that the thoughts of the author, his comprehensive views,
and general treatment of his subject, are at least equally deserving
uf eulogy. Ile has produced a hook of uncommon interest, which,
while it throws important light upon many questions au/fleeted
with the various States of bulb and dispels the darkness of many
erroneous opinions and prejudices, cannot fail to amuse every
reader by its light and agreeable narrative, its picturesque sketches
of men and manners, and its fund of anecdote and story."—Literary
