Captain EvANs, who, in May last, passed to
" that bourn from whence no traveller returns," and
Whose name has been mixed up with the diabolical mur-
ders at Oddingley, appears to have been singularly visited
with compunctious feelings of conscience, after those acts
had been committed. An aged man, named DOORME, of
Canterbury, engaged with the monster, after his partici-
pation in the crimes, as servant; but such was his turbu-
lent character—such his dread of persons approaching the
!louse, lest apprehension should follow their entry—that
ingress was rendered oftentimes troublesome, in conse-
quence of tke doors and window.shutters being kept in a
state of closure, and bolted ; but this fear seems to have
somewhat subsided as the case became involved in per-
plexity and mystery. The agitated movements, however,
of the hell-born brute plainly betokened there was some-
thing within that harrowed the soul, end held him a felon
in his own mind until the day that death " marked him
as his own."—irentish Chronicle.

It is expected that the Commission for the
trial of prisoners in the county and city of Dublin, which
commenced on Saturday, will terminate to-day or to-
morrow. In the city there -are but eight prisoners for
trial, and in the county not one ! Perhaps there could
not be found in any country in the world such a small
quantity of crime amongst so large and so wretched a
population.—Dublin Morning Register.

The Duke of ST. ALBAN'S house at High-
gate was burglarionsly entered on the night of Sunday last.
The thieves effected an entrance by breaking open the door
to She conservatory ; several other doors were likewise
forced, until they reached the drawing-room, from which
was taken a valuable time-piece, and other property to the
amount of 1301. The new police have lately taken charge
of that district, bat so few are they in number, and so in-
competent in many respects to perform the duty, that com-
plaints have been made to the Commissioners of Police
upon the subject. The answers returned have been, that
no alteration in the system should be adopted. The inha-
bitants of Highgate have, therefore, re-appointed the esta-
blished watch, for their security and protection, and funds
for defraying the expences have been raised by voluntary
subscription.

A letter from Nfoscow, dated the 16th ult.,
contains tome remarks on the trade of that city, intended
to show that it has been considerably increasing in mag-
nitude and infortance during the last fire years. The
following staMnent relative to the amount of imports,
exports, and custom-house ?.uties paid thereon, from
1825, is given in support of the writer's account of the
commercial prosperity of Moscow. It is to be observed
that this statement only relates to goods which paid duty
in that city, so that it does not manifest the whole amount
of trade

A comparative estimate is given in a Belgic
paper of the quantity of meat consumed in London, Paris,
d Bruamela, in the course of the year, and of the relation
ofthat quantity to the amount of population in these capi-
tals respectively. The total quantity consumed in London
115 Stated to be 189,710,000 lb., and the population being
11,Y.25.°00, each individual would consume on an average
.)o lb. This is probably a greater relative consumption
of animal food than is known in any other part rf the
Forld. In Paris the consumption is perhapsinore accurately
known 'than in London, and is estimated in the reports of
41 de eIfABROL at 61,927,444 lb., which, supposing the
13°Pullition to be 715,000, would allow to each individual
861 b. Two-thirds of this is in beef, one-sixth in mutton,
qit y
attar th in veal, and a fourth in pork. In Brussels the
which
of meat consumed in 1828 was 8,888,0241 b.,
to estimating the inhabitants at 100,000, would give
p_ouenacdos person on an average 89 lb. This would be three
rnore than in Paris, but would fall short of London
by nearly a half.
