THE HERALD HOAX.

We copy the following from the Morning Herald :
EXPRESS OF SIR ROBERT PEEL'S SPEECH AT THE PEEL

BANQUET.

Our Contemporary of The Sun is sadly at a loss to dis-
cover how we managed to provide the good people of
Glasgow at half-past eleven o'clock on Monday forenoon
with a full report of Sir Robert Peel's celebrated speech,
delivered at the banquet in that city late on the preceding,
Friday night. Had our Contemporary civilly asked for in-
formation on the iubject, perhaps we might have told him
enough to convince him, that although the thing was un-
precedented in the history of newspaper enterprise, and
threw even the boasted doings of The Sun itself into " dim
eclipse," yet it was accomplished without the aid of pigeon
expresses, Green's balloon, or the " art of magic," as some
Journals have surmised, which would have placed us in con-
siderable danger had the laws against witchcraft been still
in existence.

As our Evening Contemporary has chosen, however, to
address us in a tone more becoming a lamplighter than the
polished " god of day," we must decline to give reasons
" open compulsion," and we are therefore compelled to leave
The Sun in its original state of darkness.
We have never boasted of our rapid expressing, though we
have done many things worth boasting of in that way. It
has been no subject of triumph with us that we have left far
behind the " horses of The Sun." When the mechanical
arrangements adopted by newspapers for giving the public
accurate and rapid intelligence are satisfactory, they speak
for themselves. We have upon important occasions done
extraordinary things in expressing news from the Continent
at vast expense, but we have not vaunted such achieve-
ments, nor do we now. We have never troubled ourselves
about the expresses of The Sun, though perchance they
may sometimes illustrate the maxim of " far-fetched and
little worth." Neither have we troubled ourselves about
the expikics.s of any of our contemporaries. We have at-
tended to our own business. We request our "luminous"
contemporary to "go and do iikpwise."

jectures q 4 fp our second edition of the 14th inst. having

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Notwithstanding the doubts expressed in the City respect-
ing- the intention of the Bank Directors to offer for sale the
dead weight, we can state with confidence that this Annuity
is in the market for sale ; its value is considerable, and with
the proceeds we hear the Bank will be enabled to afford an
increased degree of accommodation to the mercantile interest.

count, opened this morning at 894- 90 ; Exchequer Bills 25

We have no official information as yet respecting the appre-
hended operations of the Bank of England.
The accounts from all parts of the North of Spain agree in
stating that great preparations are making by the Queen's
troops for a general attack on the Carlist positions.
Consols have been done in the morninj at 891-, but may be
quoted at present 89+ ; Money, 89a ;Exchequer Bills, 27

The late Mrs. Frances Swayle, whose demise at the
advanced age of 88, took place last week, was possessed of
considerable property in Cambridgeshire, and, together
with another sister, had lived a spinster universally beloved
and respected, and devoting much time to the exercise of
benevolence. It is singular that in the gay neighbourhood
of one of our Universities, these two rich, well-born, and
amiable ladies should have passed their youth without
having entered the bonds of matrimony ; but iu no country
do we see such strange and unaccountable instances of celi-
bacy as in our own. Mrs. Prances Swayle is regretted by
all who knew her, and greatly lamented by the poor around

INSOLVENT COUR T.-(THIS DAY.)

Before the CHIEF Com/bussloxEa and Mr. Commissioner

HARRIS.)

IN THE MATTER OF HENRICK KLRINIMAN, AN INSOLVENT.

Mr. COOKE applied on behalf of the insolvent in this
case, who is a Prussian Jew, and has been in prison for a
considerable time, that a day might be appointed for his
coming up to receive the judgment of the Court. The in-
solvent had been a general merchant at Breslau, in
Prussia, which he left suddenly, taking with him as it was
asserted a considerable sum of money. He was traced to
England by his creditors, and arrested in London. He
had been brought up several times before the Court, but
was each time opposed by his creditors for the purpose of
ascertaining whether he had concealed any of his property.
Proceedings had been taken against him in Prussia, during
which it was asserted that the insolvent had concealed
his account-books ; but the insolvent upon being closely
questioned on this point the last time he was before the
Court, declared that he had not. The Court, however,
was not satisfied, and adjourned the case for further evi-
dence. Since that period the books had been discovered
in Breslau, and under these circumstances the Court would
appoint a day to adjudicate upon the case.
The COURT said it would appoint an early day for giving
judgment.
COLLUSIVE ARRESTS.—An insolvent named Clark, whose
case we recorded yesterday, has been discharged ; the de-
taining creditor, a person of the name of Glasse, who was
asked to produce the I. 0. U., he alleged he had received
from the insolvent for the debt, not having done so, but pre-
ferring to send the insolvent his discharge.

THE ILLUMINATIONS

Were so general, that there was scarcely a house which
did not exhibit a device or a transparency. Even the Muses
were invoked, but it did not appear that the Muses of
Brighton are in any way related to those of Parnassus.
As, however, upon all such occasions we must take the
will for the deed, we will not be captious. A specimen,
however, taken from a respectable house adjoining the
theatre, may give an idea, and certainly a favourable one,
of the flourishing state of poetry in Brighton. It runs thus—
" Hail 1 Victoria
Virgin Queen,
The God of gloria
Bless thy reign."
This is but one of many which have similar pretensions
to be recorded, had we leisure to do so. The most nu-
merous inscriptions were—" Hail Victoria," " Welcome,
England's Star," " The Queen, God bless her." Some of
the decorations, however, were particularly happy.
Savage's Pavilion Hotel exhibited, amongst a profusion
of variegated lamps, a crown and Bible wreathed with
dahlias and other beautiful flowers.
Mr. Cheesman's glass warehouse exhibited the inscrip-
tion, " Hail Star of England," with un immense display of
coloured lamps.
The Club-house on the Steine, and the Royal York
Hotel, had each a splendid star ; and the former had, in
addition, the inscription " Welcome Victoria," &c.

Her Majesty the Queen Dowager and suite are ex-
pected to leave Bushy House on Thursday next, for St.
Leonard's-on-Sea.
The Princess Augusta is expected to accompany the
Queen Dowager to St. Leonard's.

IRELAND.

The Pilot has the following remarks in reference to the
great meeting of Saturday, held at the Dublin Royal Ex-
change. An outline of the resolutions adopted appeared
in our last number :

" MEETING AT THE ROYAL EXCHANGE—THE COUN-
TRY ROUSED.—It was, to be sure, a poor and most paltry
affair, and not attended by a single individual of note,
name, or character ! Be it so—grant it. It is not our
interest to exaggerate its importance. If a sum exceeding
FIFTEEN HUNDRED POUNDS was subscribed by a meeting
of so low and mean a character, what are we to expect
when the men of influence amongst the party—the Times
itself will scarce deny that there arc SOME such amongst
us—shall have strengthened our hands by their influence
and their money ? 1,5001. subscribed within a few minutes,
and from but a few individuals, and at a moment when the
metropolis is all but empty. Come—we will take our
meeting " all and all," with all its defects, and we will ven-
ture to set down all its results as an offset against all the
meetings, all the press, all the riding, and writing, and ad-
vertising, and blustering, and foolery of our worthy rivals,
and we will give them all England, and the parsons, the
entire of the principality of Wales, and the bad portions of
Scotland and Ireland, with Londonderry, Vane, and vain
Londonderry into the bargain—ney, such is our security
that we shall throw them in even the proceeds, free of all
deductions, of the two after-dinner charity sermons preached
a week or two hence in Cheltenham, by two of their peri-
palebik collectors, Messrs. A. B. C. D. Smyth, K.C., and
the modest victim, West, the well-plucked and rejected of our
city. We said on the day previous to the meeting that we did
not place so much value upon the meeting itself as upon its
results, its influence in giving the tone and beat to other
parts of the country. The standard when hoisted is but
an emblem—we mean not our most imperial London Con-
temporary—rag and emblem though it be ; but then it
arouses, concentrates, and points to action. Thus shall it
be with the metropolitan► meeting. Cork, Belfast, Water-
ford, Limerick, Galway, arc they likely to remain quik s-
cent ? We should say not—and then the counties and
towns ? Alas ! this looks as though it would turn out a
bad job. Yes, we rejoice to say it. Our information
from all quarters testifies it. The country is aroused—the
people are " up and doing."

MARYLEBONE.

Yesterday a promising tailor's apprentice, named Jain
Nesbitt, was brought up by a constable of the S
charged with having been found sporting with a large horse-
pistol, in a field near Highgate, on the previous evening, to
the great danger of her Majesty's liege subjects.
Mr. ItAwuNsoN (to the prisoner).—What sort of game
were you shooting of? Coekchafli-s, I suppose. Prisoner
—Lor bless yer, it arn't legal to shoot them ere things at
this ere time of the year, cos they bearnt in season.
Mr. RAWLINSON—WeII, what other game did you find
at Highgate ? Prisoner—None at all. But I found that
every person I met made game of me. They told me as
how I couldn't hit a haystack.

Mr. RAWLINSON That may be very true ; yet still by
chance you might have shot yourself or somebody else. The
pistol appears very old and unsafe, and might have gone off
unexpectedly on the half-cock. Prisoner—l thought. of
that myself, and so to prevent accidents I shoved a cork in
the muzzle.

Mr. RAwuNsoN—Well, if I let you go, will you pro.
raise not to sport with fire-arms again ? Prisoner—Blesi
if I don't. I'll go upon the old and safe plan in future
and whenever I'm in a sportin mood, and vents a bird, if
don't try a bit of salt blow me.
Snip was then discharged, but his pistol was not allowed
to go off, being detained by the Magistrate's orders.

'FHB SPAS OF GERMANY, BY DR. GRANVILLE.
—To one who purposes,
.to visit the German Spas, Dr.
Granville's book is as necessary as his portmanteau or his
travelling bag, or his purse to pay his way. It informs him
upon every point upon which he is likely to seek intelligence
—the quality of every spring, its uses and effects—the con-
stitutions or diseases it will aid or prejudice—the character
of the town in which it is situate, the kind of company to
he met with, the manners and charges of the attendants,
with a thousand other particulars most important to the
traveller. Lastly, it sparkles with amusing anecdotes of
persons whose names arc a kind of public property, and
wherever a capital graphic cut will serve to assist description
of site or scenery, it is introduced, and adds no small merit
or utility to the performance.—Bath Herald.
BIRMINGHAM FESTIVAL.—Madame Gsisi, Mrs.
Shaw, and a few others of vocal celebrity, arrived here on
Saturday night. M. Neukomm has been with us some
days, getting everything in readiness for the production of
his new grand work. On Tuesday it will receive its public
birth ; and if what a few cognoscenti, who have some know-
ledge of the progress of its creation, say, be the result of
judgment rather than of partiality, the " Ascension" will add
very considerably to the fame which the Chevalier has ac-
quired in all parts of Europe. But for those whose predi
lector) is for music that is not only classical, but sanctioned
by time, or, in other words, that comes under the term an-
cient, there will be no lack of the compositions of the
" Giant Handel."
