SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL:S7-( YESTERDAY. )

Of the betting a short notice will suffice. On the July Stakes
nothing was done, the disinclination to speculate being occa-
sioned by the doubt which prevails as to Crucifix. Several bets
were made on the Goodwood Stakes, to the improvement of
I-am-not-aware, Confusionee, and Ruby ; Miss Eliza and the
Lord Mayor were not in any demand. For the Goodwood Cup
Harkaway will be found to have improved half a point ; with
the exception of Deception, who was backed for a trifle only,
no odic* favourite was mentioned. The alteration in the St.
Leger betting was confined to a select few, and had nothing new
in it. A flat afternoon closed as follows :

METROPOLITAN POLITICAL

SUMMARY.

The Morning Post of this day, recurring to the subject
of national education, says,—." Who then is it that ob3tructs
the course of extended education ? Is it the Minister
who insists upon a new plan which he says is very similar
to tthe old, or his opponents, who say that they wish to
keep to the old plan because the new one is exceedingly
different in principle and full of danger? If the Minister
gives way, he gives up hardly any thing, for, upon his
own showing, the points of difference amount to little or
nothing—if the opponents of the Minister give way, they
give up everything, for, in their judgment, they would give
up what is highly important to the religious well-being of
the nation."

The Morning Chronicle comments to the following
effect on the Government Penny Postage scheme :—" The
adoption of Mr. Rowland Hill's plan of the Penny Post-
age will, no doubt, occasion a considerable diminution of
revenue for the first year. There seems as little reason to
doubt that the amount of loss will be rapidly lessened, and
that a very few years will substitute for it a profit im-
mensely increased. The accompaniment of the proposed
scheme, by a Parliamentary pledge to make good the de-
ficiency, is a contrivance of singular clumsiness. It is
worth nothing any way. * The measure itself is threatened
with danger, if not with defeat, by this most supetfluous
appendage. And to give vigour to opposition, the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer declares that, unless this appended
pledge be adopted, he will abandon the plan. He will not
fly his kite at all, unless this particular piece of waste paper
be tied to its tail. The Tories have now a chance for pre-
venting the Penny Postage, without appearing directly to
oppose it."
The Times commenting on an article that appeared in
the Morning Post of yesterday, respecting the late Lady
Flora Hastings, observes—" There can be nothing clearer
at present than that the above spurious writing proceeds
from some desire, not to do justice to the deceased—for
ample justice is done her in public opinion—but to
calumniate the enemies of some other interest in or out
of the Palace—perhaps both."
The Morning Herald contains a leading article sug-
gested by the public meeting which took place on Saturday,
for the purpose of establishing a British India Society,
in the course of which, alluding cursorily to Lord
Brougham's speech, our Contemporary remarks as fol-
lows In exchange for the enormous revenue which
England derives from India, it might be difficult to point
out a single benefit conferred by England upon India.
Famines recur at intervals of two or three years ; and
during these fearful visitations, the natives die by hundreds
of thousands. If the means of internal communication
were extensive, the horrors of such!, famines—caused as
they doubtless are, in the first instance, by the blighting
influences of taxation such as Lord Brougham describes—
might be considerably alleviated; but in India the means
of communication arc worse, perhaps, than in any portion
of the world besides."

The Morning Advertiser observes, in reference to the
late education debate in the Lorda :—" That debate has
produced the unanimous admission of the Prelates and of
the Tories in the Lords, that the education of the people
ought to be an object of active concern to the nation, and
the Government acting on behalf of the nation. This ad.
mission alone is a great gain to the cause, were the dif-
ferences ever so great as to ulterior points."

POST-MORTEM EXAMINATION
OF THE LADY FLORA HASTINGS.

(From the Morning Post.)
We publish the following document by desire of the
Marquis of Hastings. ... ... We have reason
to believe that the paper was written in duplicate, each
copy bearing the autograph signatures of the five eminent
medical men, and that one copy remains in the hands of
the Marquis of Hastings, while the other has been placed
in those of the Queen:—
" APPEARANCES OBSERVED ON INSPECT-
ING THE BODY OF THE LATE LADY
FLORA HASTINGS, JULY 3, 1839.

" There was great emaciation of the whole person.
"In the chest the heart and lungs were in a perfectly
healthy state ; but there were extensive adhesions of the
pleura (or membrane) covering the right lung, to that
which lines the ribs—evidently of long standing.
" In the abdomen : there were universal adhesions of
the peritoneum (or membrane which lines the cavity and
covers the viscera), so that it could not be said that there
was a single organ which was not, at every point on its
surface, intimately connected with the parts in its vicinity.
The liver was very much enlarged, extending downwards
as low as the pelvis, and upwards so as very materially to
diminish the capacity of the right cavity of the chest. The
gall bladder contained a small quantity of bile. The liver
was of a very pale colour, but its structure was not mate-
rially different from what exists in the healthy state.
The stomach and intestines were distended with air;
their coats, especially the muscular, were very much at-
tenuated. The spleen and pancreas were free from
disease. Some of the mesenteric glands were enlarged.
There were a few small deposits of unorganised yellow
matter, apparently in the substance of the adhesions.
" The uterus and its appendages presented the usual
appearances of the healthy virgin state.
66 From the character of the adhesions it was plain that
they could be referred only to inflammation at some former
and distant period of time. The effect of them must have
been to interrupt the passage of the contents of the stomach
and intestines, and in various ways to interfere with the due
per
for of th W. function

MIRACULOUS ESCAPE or A CHlLD.—Fri-
day morning, between seven and eight o'clock, the inha-
bitants and passengers in Kin...street, Seven Dials, were
thrown into a state of painful excitement by perceiving a
child, not more than two years of age, hanging by its
hands, which were grasping, the parapet below the attic
and above the second floor window at the house of a beer-
! shop-keeper, named Coombs. The object to which their
intense anxiety was directed looked with the most perfect
calmness and composure upon the crowd assembled.
Some persons from the street ran up stairs into the attic,
and, getting into the gutter, were by that means enabled
to lay hold of and safely deposit in the room the child,
which, had it fallen from the height in question, must ine-
vitably have been dashed to pieces.

LONDON:
TUESDAY, JULY 9, 1839.

The Lords were last night informed that her Majesty
bas appointed Thursday next, at two o'clock, to receive
their address at Buckingham Palace, when her Ma-
jesty will, no doubt, give a just rebuke to the factious
priests and hypocritical politicians, who, under the pre-
tence of care for religion, while they mean their own
pelf and power, seek to prevent the people getting any
education, but such as the priests dole out to them.
The Bishop of EXETER betrayed a most alarming
anxiety about the Canada Church Reserves, and was
quite in dismay when he was told that the
Bill which the legislature of Upper Canada has
just passed for re-investing those reserves in the Crown,
is not likely to be laid on the table this Session. The
anxiety is, no doubt, very amiable, but whether it
grow from a nice and tender care of the souls of the
Canadians, or from a proper respect for the wealth of
his order, the pious Prelate did not inform either the
Peers or the public.
Lord BROUGHAM again adverted to the scandalous
anomaly of the House of Commons voting the payment
of the salary of the Judge of the Admiralty Court,
which anomaly, according to the Lord Chancellor, a
Bill in progress is to cure. Is it merely from a desire
to be independent of political influence, which makes
the law tribe, generally, so full of admiration of the
principle of securing, past all chance of controul or
abatement, the salaries of the Judges ?
Their Lordships only sat for a short time, and did no
business of importance.
In the Commons, it was announced that Mr. AI,
COCK does not mean to defend his seat for Ludlow. His
constituents will probably defend it for him.
Amongst the petitions presented worthy of notice
was one from a place in Cheshire for a repeal of the
Catholic Emancipation Act, so the Tories go back-
ward ; and one from the Members of the Royal Aca-
demy, complaining of the inquisitorial nature of some
returns moved for by Mr. HUME The Hon. Member
is to-day to move that the returlis be forthwith made,
and Sir R. INGLIS, who presented the petition, is to
move that the order be rescinded.
Mr. Ew Ara is with reference to the vote for a school
of design, to try and divert it into a vote for a normal
school.

Some other matters were mentioned that are as
shortly given in our report as we could state them
here.

Lord J. RUSSELL gave an additional explanation as
to printing the Bible in Scotland, by which any parties
giving security may print Bibles. Sir JAMES GRAHAM
found fault with this change on behalf of the Church-
men, and we fear it may not please the Dissenters.
We admire the various powers of Government which,
in addition to its other multifarious duties, is hencefor-
ward to be responsible that the Bible be correctly
printed. Lord MORPETH brought in the Bank of Ire-
land Regulation Bill, which was read a first time.
On the motion for going into a Committee of Supply,
Mr. 1-lumE moved for a Committee to inquire into the
pecuniary transactions of the Bank of England, and
maarei' ong, and able speech to prove that most of the
vicissitudes of commerce since 1819 were caused by the
conduct of the Bank.

Mr. WILLIAMS seconded the motion, and dwelt
particularly on the great injury which results from the
connection between the Government and the Bank.

Several Gentlemen spoke during the debate, ;hich
occupied the greater part of the evening. We shall
only say that the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
opposed the motion on the ground that it was too ex-
tensive to be gone into effectually now, and such an
inquiry must soon be made, in consequence of
the period approaching when the Bank Charter
will expire. He also objected to it as likely to be in-
jurious to commerce. The motion, after a great deal
of what Sir J. R. REID might properly call tedious
speaking, was lost by a majority of 64 ; 93 voting
against, and 29 for. Most of the Miscellaneous Esti-
mates were afterwards voted in a C• nmittee of Supply.
The Irish Municipal Corporations Bill was reported.
The Controverted Elections Bill was read a third
time and passed.
The Session has been wasted in idle and factious
talk, and now the people are to be plagued with slovenly
and ill-digested legislation. The hurried mode of doing
the business called forth animadversions, but neverthe-
less business was done.

Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD gave up his Copyright Bill
owing to the lateness of the Session. The House sat
till Two o'Clock.

We are glad to see that Mr. GIBSON has met with
a favourable reception from a large body of his late
constituents, who will, we trust, send him back to
Parliament. We cannot find room for his speech,
but we may say that it is plain and straightforward,
like the whole of his conduct. Like all sensible
men who have become intimately acquainted with
the objects contemplated by the Tories—though
bred up amongst them, he has become disgusted
with their proceedings. He is offended (as who
with a particle of penetration and of charity in his
composition can be otherwise ?) with the arrogant
and bigoted demands of the Anglican Priesthood,
and with the hvprocritical support given to them
by the Tories. The Tories, he said, were going
backwards instead of forwards ; and Toryism was
deteriorating instead of improving. On this ground
mainly he separates from them ; and other moderate
men, like Lord ELIOT and Mr. BARING WALL,
are compelled to take the same course. Sir
ROBERT PEEL might probably like to go
with them, but his pledges to the bigots, and his
knowledge that they would rally under his rival, the
apostal e Whig, Lord Stanley, keep him true to the
ed flag of persecution. Every day, however, must
make the impossibility of the Tory and bigot po-
licy succeeding more apparent, and every day must
thin the ranks of the Tories. Lord STANLEY, Sir
JAMES GRAIIANI, and Co., apostatized from
pique and disappointment. They could not have
their own will and their own way ; they were not
allowed to command, and so they rebelled.
Poor BURDETT, and his fellow-missionary Sir
GEORGE SINCLAIR, cut the Whigs, because
the Whigs, it is said, would not make Peers of

them ; but no persons have deserted them on prin-
ciple. Many persons have separated from them
because they would not go fast and far enough ;
but, except such persons as Lord RIPON, who re-
lapsed into Toryism when he could get nothing
farther by Whiggism, none of their followers have
honestly and openly left them for causes which they
could avow. Society is essentially progressive, so
must policy be ; and every day, therefore, must
bring deserters from the stationary or even retro-
grade policy of the Tories. Mr. GIBSON, though
the latest and most striking example of this fact, is
only one of many.

The very decided dislike which the QUEEN pub-
licly manifested to the principles of the Tory fac-
tion, when that faction lately attempted to place
itself at the helm of the State, has made a lament-
able breach—a hiatus valde dfflendus—in Tory
loyalty. From the moment that her MAJESTY
gave that unequivocal proof, so gratifying to all her
truly loyal subjects, that she has no sympathy with
the hereditary enemies of the House of Brunswick,
she has met with nothing but " disloyal insolence"
from them, one and all—from the smooth-faced hy-
pocrite, who leads the factious herd in Parliament,
down to the scampish penny-a-liner who vents his
slander in the Morning Post. To what a degree of
inveteracy this personal hatred of their Sovereign
has arrived in the breasts of these ci-devant professors
of loyalty may be inferred, without much difficulty,
from the fact that two of their women of rank
—ladies we do not call them—were detected in
the act of hissing her MAJESTY at Ascot
races. Such a fact may truly be said
to " speak volumes," for, to do the Aristocracy
justice, it must be confessed that, generally speak-
ing, they are as remarkable for their observance of
external decorum as they are for their neglect of the
" weightier matters" of the moral law. Among
the organs of this unprincipled party, the Morning
Post stands forth with unenviable prominence as
the assailant of the QUEEN. This unprincipled
Journal, which is known to reflect with unerring
fidelity the sentiments of the Tory Aristocracy, to
whom its circulation is almost entirely confined,
omits no opportunity of holding up her MAJESTY
to the contempt and hatred of its readers. Some-
times it holds her up to ridicule in a doggrel nur-
sery rhyme ; at other times it describes her as lis-
tening to lascivious conversation, and its latest
escapade in the cause of loyalty is the circulation
of the atrocious calumny that her MAJESTY has
been the author and sole perpetrator of Lady
FLORA HASTINGS' wrongs, Yesterday morning
it delivers itself on this subject after the following
fashion—" The friends of the Court Ladies and
the Court Physician are going about in society auda-
ciously asserting that the QUEEN was the author of
the foul calumny against Lady FLORA HASTINGS,
and that all the indecent and brutal conduct prac-
tised towards that unfortunate lady was by the un-
prompted and uninfluenced command of her MA-
JESTY. This assertion is, of course, as false as
it is unconstitutional. And, be the fact what it
may, every Englishman is bound, in constitutional
duty, to disbelieve the assertion. But assuming the
monstrous hypothesis for a moment that this wicked
assertion can be true, we still say, and shall take
an early opportunity of showing, that, so far from
exonerating the Court Ladies and the Court Phy-
sician from any portion of their guilt, it adds enor-
mously and fearfully to their revolting and odious
criminality." This extract, we allow, evinces a
very venomous degree of malignity, but luckily the
reptile which concocted it did not possess sufficient
sense to effect the purpose it had in view. The
clumsiness of the apparatus defeats the object while
it betrays the intention. It is a very likely thing, no
doubt, that the Ladies of the QUEEN'S Court, or
their " friends," should go about defaming
their SOVEREIGN, who has given these Ladies
so public and so unequivocal and so flattering a
proof of her personal attachment to them. There
would truly be much wisdom as well as gratitude in
such conduct as this, either on their part or that of
the Court Physician. No, no ! this is too flimsy
a pretext even for the stupidest of the Tory dolts
who take in the Post to be deceived by. The
real calumniators, the audacious originators of the
" monstrous hypothesis," are the Morning Post or
its " friends." But it is convenient for that
scrupulous abettor of a pestilent clique to put his
disloyal slander into the mouths of others. This,
as Lord BROUGHAM remarked the other night, with
regard to a similar piece of disingenuousness at,
tempted to be practised in the House of Lords,—
this is " one of the ways of saying things." Let
the reader observe also the meanness which this
silly and cowardly scribbler exhibits in pretending;
to "disbelieve" the infamous charge which he cir-
culates against his -QUEEN, while every word he
writes shows that, whether he believe it or not him-
self, he is especially anxious that his readers should
believe it.

We are told that the working men in various
establishments of the metropolis propose to devote
a part of two days in the week, perhaps Tues-
days and Fridays, in holding public meetings,
and taking every possible means to express very
fully their sentiments on the late proceedings at
Birmingham. They are to declare their confi-
dence in the Convention, and to take steps for
tilling up any vacancies which may be caused
by the present members being arrested. Pruden-
tial?rom publishing the
considerations prevent us
spirit-stirring letter which gives us this informa-
tion. Deeply regretting as we do the circum-
stances which have occurred at Birmingham, it is
our duty not to add to the excitement which we
are sure they must produce by publishing
any inflammatory appeals. At the same time we
must say that the sentiments which the letter breathes
are such as we looked for amongst the working men
of the metropolis, particularly that intelligent class,
the engineers. They are to us convincing proofs
that thousands of hard-handed and clear-headed
men feel themselves personally and deeply aggrieved
by the proceedings at Birmingham, and are now
ready to make common cause with the Convention.

The trial of the Paris prisoners was expected to be
brought to a close on Sunday evening, or Monday at
the latest—for of such importance is the acceleration of
the sentence regarded by Louis PHILIPPE and his
Ministers, that the Court of Peers did not allow itself
to rest even on the Sabbath. As usual in France,
the farce is expected to be followed up by a tragedy,
not so much because the prisoners have been proved
traitors, as because it is the pleasure of the Pro-
cureur-General, that the Court should find them
guilty, and that of the KING, that the excite-
ment supplied a ferocious mob by the occasional
exhibition of the guillotine at work should know no
abatement. So little does the Court of Peers care to
preserve even the appearance of impartiality in the trial
of the prisoners, that at the close of a ferocious harangue
delivered by the Procureur-General against tile ac-
cused, in which he demanded their blood at the hands
of the Court, several of the Peers sitting in judgment,
left their places, and in public Court shook hands with
congratulating him on his success ! 'Well might the
prisoner BARBES deny the judicial authority of so cor-
rupt and shameless an assembly of Court parasites.
Orders had been transmitted by the Minister of
Marine to Brest and Toulon directing every expe-
dition to be employed to get all the vessels that
could be spared ready for sea. It was supposed that
the SULTAN had refused to listen to the pacific remon-
strances of France.
The Moniteur contains the following official para-
graph :—" Several evening. journals announced that a
battle had been fought between the Egyptian and Turk-
ish troops. The Government has received no intelli-
gence of the kind."
There is no other news in the French journals of
Sunday, of the slightest interest to an English reader.
The Amazon brig, Captain Fronde, sailed on the 4th,
from Toulon for the Levant.
The brig D'Assas,
Captain Deschampe, sailed from
Brest on the 4th, for Brazil. A Morning Paper has the
following paragraph :
" News has been received, by the Minister of Marine,
from Montevideo, and the blockade of Buenos Ayres,
more recent than that which we published yesterday from
the English Journals. Admiral Leblanc, commanding
the French naval force, is
dangerously ill, and has
permission to return to France. We are assured that
the Minister has appointed Rear- Admiral Dupotel to suc-
ceed him."
Among the letters published by the Semaphore of Mar-
seilles there is a letter from I3ayonne of the 9th of June,
which, after mentioning the approach of actual hostilities
a; apparently inevitable, concludes as follows I have
this moment received a letter from Bagdad, which is dated
the 23d of May. It tells me that Barhein, where the
pearl fishing is carried on, has placed itself under tho
protection of the East India Company, and that two Eng-
lish men-of-war keep in check the Egyptian fleet, which
threatened that island. The letters from Bombay and
Hydrabad inform us that a strong English army had
passed the Indus to go' to the aid of the Shah of Caboul-
el- Herat."—Constitutionnel.

The Courrier Lyons of the 4th, an extravagantly Doc-
trinaire journal, speaks of a movement which was to have
taken place at Marseilles on the Ist of .luly. The details
which it gives seem to us to bear such evident marks of
iinprobability and exaggeration, that we think it our duty

to wait for further information before we give credit to re-
ports which seem to be propagated with systematic regu-
larity. —Le Commerce.

Letters from Lisbon of the 19th ult. announce that
the financial project for defraying the interest due to
British bondholders is postponed for another year—the
interest in the meantime to be capitalised, and bear an
interest of five per cent. ! Verily this is a most conve-
nient mode of dealing with the public creditor, but there
has been too much of it in the case of Spain to allow us
to call it an honest one.

Letters from Alexandria of the 19th of June have
come to hand. The Egyptian fleet was then cruising
off the harbour of that city ready to put to sea when
required. IBRAHAM PACHA'S army consisted of
100,000 regular and 3),000 irregular troops. The
detachment of the Turkish army under SOLIMAN, Pacha
of Marash, which took possession of Aintab, within the
territory of MEHEMET Au, were surrounded by the
Egyptian troops, and so kept in a state of blockade in
expectation of a formal declaration of hostilities. The
following is a copy of the letter with which Captain
CAILLE was intrusted by MEHEMET Am to deliver to
his son :

" Alexandria, 5, Rahu-errel, Jan. 16.
" The bearer of my letter is M. Caille, Aide-de-camp
to his Excellency Marshal Soult, Minister for Foreign
Affairs in France, who arrived here the day before yester-
bay, to inform me that he is commissioned to speak to you.
Another Aide-de-camp goes to Constantinople, and from
thence to the camp of Hafiz Facha, M. Caille goes by
the steamer, accompanied by my second dragoman, Kosreff
Effendi. This officer has announced to me that his
mission, like that of the other officer, is to prevent
the war, which appears imminent, and that the great
powers will arrange this affair. In consequence, if,
on his arrival you have not driven the Turks from
the frontier, re-enter your limits. This officer will.
go to Hafiz Pacha, and, after having spoken with
the other Aide-de-camp, to know what he has obtained,
he will return to you and give you an account. If,
on his return, he tells you that the Turkish army has re-
mained where it was, and that the Turks have returned to
their own limits, then you will make no further movement,
and you will yourself stop where you are. But if, after the
return of M. Caille with this assurance, he does not stop,
but continues his first movements, without retiring his
troops from our frontiers, you will march against him and
give him battle. In case, on the arrival of the Charge d'Af-
faires, you shall have already driven the Turks from our
limits, and shall have advanced, you are to remain where
you are, and wait the arrangement the great powers shall
make, and which I will communicate to you. I also in-
form you, to prevent the uneasiness the announcement of
the fleet having sailed from Constantinople may occasion,
that I shall send to the coast of Syria; for this purpose a
part has left the port to-day, and the rest will sail to-
morrow."

(Seal of Mehemet Ali.)
The Smyrna Journal gives the following news from
Constantinople to the 17th :—" Last Sunday evening a
Tatar arrived from the army of Ilafiz Pacha, and brought
the news of a first engagement of advanced posts which
had taken place between a corps of Turkish cavalry of
-) to 3,000 men, and the same number of Egyptian cavalry.
The latter were wholly beaten, and, independent of dead
and wounded, who remained on the field of battle, they
made fifty prisoners. After this affair the Ottoman ad-
vanced guard took possession of Aintab. Ibrahim Pacha
made great preparations to retake this place, and had
already given. orders to a portion of his army, and above all
to his artillery, to proceed to this point. 'We arc induced to
believe that some important action has already taken place
between the two armies, and we are is the greatest state of
impatience to know the results. In the meantime. the news of
this first success was received by the population of Constan-
tinople in the most favourable manner. On Saturday, im-
mediately after the arrival of the French packet-boat,
which brought to Constantinople M. Foltz, the officer of
the staff, sent by the French Minister of Foreign Affairs,
and who brought the news of the approach to the East of
the Prince de Joinville, an extraordinary council was held,
which lasted five hours. Since then the members of the
Divan have had occasion to assemble three times in
Privy Council, always respecting those events. It is
thought that the French Government persists in its inten-
tion of preventing, if possible, war ; and that the mission
of M. Foltz to Admiral Roussin had for its object to make
a new attempt in that sense; but no one believes that the
Porte will reconsider its determination, which it has taken
in so deliberate a manner, to deliver Syria from the yoke
of Ibrahim Pacha. However this may be, the arrival of
M. Foltz is of a nature to add new difficulties to a situation
already too complicated."
The following is from Smyrna, of the 19th June :
" A portion of the Ottoman fleet, under the orders of the
Capitan Pacha, was yesterday at Magara, whilst the other
portion was anchored at the Dardanelles. All the fleet
was to sail on Sunday or Monday, to proceed, it is said, to
Mytelene. Admiral Laborde, with two vessels, was also
yesterday under Cape Baba, where the Vanguard had
arrived from Palermo, with despatches of Admiral Stop-
ford for Lord Ponsonby. The Vanguard was to wait in
those parayes the reply of the English Ambassador. This
morning, at the break of day, the French vessel the Tri-
ton, met in the Gulf of Smyrna, the Jupiter, on board of
which was Prince Joinville, and who was proceeding in
hat vessel to the anchorage of Ourlac."

The town authorities of Ramsgate have prohibited
all persons from calling fish, vegetables, fruit, &c.,
through the streets, the consequence of which wise
regulation is, that numbers of individuals are thrown
out of employment, the inhabitants—and chiefly the
visitors—have to pay a higher price for these articles,
and general injury done to this favourite watering
place, for the purpose of putting a little money into
the pockets of some half score of tradespeople. Can-
not these people see that the effect of such a regula-
tion is to increase the current of visitors to Dover,
Calais, and Boulogne
No doubt now remains that the wretched being who
suffered yesterday, on the gallows, at the Old Bailey,
had committed a deliberate murder, and had attempted
to commit another capital felony', only second to it in
atrocity ; yet, he is represented in the maudlin, dis-
gusting accounts of his conduct since the conviction, to
have been an object of the most anxious solicitude, and
hopes were held out to him by the Rev. Ordinary that he
" would be welcomed to the heavenly abode by 10,000
angels." To fanatical minds, and of these there is no
lack, such a perversion of moral and religious principles
holds out a greater premium for crime, than even a re-
mission of the capital punishment. The statement de-
scribed as his " confession" in one of the Morning Papers,
is of a piece with all the rest. It is really a disgrace to
the country that readers can be found to peruse such
offensive productions.

YEOMANRY CALLED OUT.—this • morning
( Saturday) at an early hour, the inhabitants of this town
were roused from their sleep by the sound of trumpet,
calling the Warwickshire Yeomanry Cavalry to arms—
orders having been received for them to assemble without
delay and march towards Birmingham. We deeply regret
the necessity for this step, as we are of opinion that the ap
pearance of yeomanry on the scene of action may produce
an increase of irritation in the excited people, while the
latter imight be kept in subjection by regular troops.—
TVarzeick Advertiser.
