the vicinity, by Lord Mansfield and others, to stop up the
public footpaths leading across the fields in various direc-
tions, which have been hi use for more than a quarter of a

century.
The inhabitants of the above towns having taken up the
matter with great spirit, have come to the determination
of asserting their rights.
On Tuesday a gentleman, named Harrison, residing in
Spring-place, in the former town, was attempting to cross
one of the fields at Mill Farm-lane, said to belong to the
Nobleman above alluded to, when he was assailed by a
labourer named Powell, who menaced him with a dung
fork, swearing that he should not pass, although in a foot-
path which had been opened upwards of 25 years. He per-
sisted in asserting his right to proceed, when he was assaulted
by Powell, upon which he lett the field and proceeded to
this office, where he obtained an assault warrant against
the aggressor, in order that the question might be set at
rest, and the public protected in their rights.
Last Thursday the man was brought up n custody at
the Marylebone Police-cffice, before Mr. HosKtris, when
Mr. Harrison having repeated his statement, the prisoner
was held to bail to answer the charge of assault at the
sessions, and to keep the peace in the meantime.
He said he was in the employ of Mr. Tubbs, of Palace-
row, Nevr- road, and denied the right of footway through
the field in question.

Lord and Lady Stanley and suite arrived yester-
day in this city, and started this morning for the county
Tipperary.—Limerich Reporter.
Monday, the 12th of August, the first of the
" sacred month," passed over in Edinburgh as most other
Mondays have done since the commencement of the present
century. With a few shoemakers, tailors, and other trades-
men, it was, as usual, celebrated like " Saint Monday,"
but there was not, so far as we could learn, the slightest
Chartist movement. Only a comparative small number
of workmen in Edinburgh have imbibed extreme opinions,
on whom the sentence of death recorded against the Bir-
mingham rioters came as a clap of thunder. A few pounds
have been withdrawn from the Savings' Bank.—Edinburgh

Observer.
With deep regret we perceive that combination,
with all its brutal and murderous concomitants, is again in
active operation amongst certain trades, and that in two
instances the sawyers have perpetrated acts of violence
nearly resulting in death. If these infatuated men will
not for their own sakes see the evil of their ways, and the
ruin it must eventually bring upon their wives and families,
we can tell them that the law will be found too strong for
their atrocious combination, and that we have a Lord Lieu-
tenant now who will assert its supremacy. —Dublin Mail.
AFFRAY ON THE MOORS.—The Midhope
Moors, about twelve miles from Sheffield, were on Monday
morning the scene of tremendous warfare, there being up-
wards of one hundred men from Ashton, Oldham, Dukin-
field, Staleybridge, &c., all armed with guns, &c., and
having dogs in their possession. They severely beat one
of the keepers, compelled several Magistrates, who were
there for the purpose of shooting, to keep within doors,
broke tha fowling pieces of the regular sportsmen, and
took all the birds they could lay their hands on, either by
foul or fair play. The affray commenced about half-past
five in the morning; from ;the formidable appearance of
the assailants, and the general rumour that the " National
Holiday" was to commence that day, the country people
were much alarmed, and believed it had commenced in
earnest, as it was soon spread about that the intruders were
Chartists from Lancashire ; indeed some of them were
heard to say, in reference to the gentlemen who were on
the moors, " Aye, domn thee, thou has had the day long
enough, it is our turn now," About noon yesterday a spe-
cial messenger arrived in Sheffield, with a request from
two West Riding Magistrates for immediate aid from the
police, when Mr. Drake the constable was immediately
sent off. It appears the poachers were provided with a
light cart, with which they made off with their spoil, and
were at least twenty-two miles in advance of their pur-
suers.—Sheflield Iris.
-ROGUE MONEY BILL.—The three Scotch
Members who have been most active in pushing this ob-
noxious measure,—namely, Sir John Campbell, the Lord
Advocate, and Mr. Fox Maule, all sit in Parliament as
the representatives of burgh constituencies. The conduct
of Mr. fiutherfurd and Mr. Maule, who represent burghs
that come under the operation of the Bill, is especially to
be condemned, and we trust that their constituents in
Portobello and Musselburgh, and in Elgin, Banff, &c.,
will take care to let the Hon. Members know what they
think of this attempt to sacrifice them to the grasping op-
pression of the county aristocracy.—Scottish Pilot.
Dr. Morell, who wrote Oratorios for Handel,
took, on one occasion, the liberty to suggest to him, in the
most respectful manner, that the music he had set to some
lines of his was quite opposite to the sense of the words.
Instead of taking this friendly hint as he ought to have
dome, from one who (although not a Pindar) was, at least,
a better judge of poetry than the musician, he looked upon
the advice as insulting to his talents, and cried out with
all the violence of affronted pride, " Vat ! you teach me
music? De music be good music. Dom your words !
Here (thrumming his harpsichord), here be my idea; go
you make word do dat."--Musical World.
THE YOUTH OF THE DUKE OF WELLING-
TO:C.—The Boyne flows lszily here (at Tyrrell's house),
amidst sedge and reeds, appearing but the dark drain of an
immense morass, the discharge of the waste waters of the
Bog of Allen. A strong position in time of war; Lord
Welling-ton knows it well ;ho has often had his soldier
eye upon it, his paternal mansion, Dangan. being not far
off to the right, near Tiim. Ilow different was the young
fun-loving, comical, quizzing, gallanting Captain Arthur
Wellesley, when residing in his shooting lodge between
Summerbill and Dangan, from the stern, cautious, care-
worn Fabius of the Peninsular war : the trifling, provoking,
capricious sprig of nobility—half dreaded, half doated on,
by the women ; hated by the men—the dry joker, the
practical wit, the ne'er-do-well, despaired of as good for
nothing by his own family, from the redoubtable warrior
of Waterloo; the great prime minister of England :
like Julius Caesar, a roue converted into a hero.— Tour in
Connaught.
LANDLORDS AND TENANTS.--In the She-
riff's Court an action was brought by Mrs. Julia Howell,
residing in Norfolk-street, Strand, against Sir Eaton
Travers, to recover a sum of money for want of notice
when Sir Eaton left her house. It appeared that Sir
Eaton Travers came to reside at the house of the plaintiff,
accompanied by his Lady, three children, and two servants,
and remained until the following Friday, and paid
5/. 53. Evidence was given that the apartments
were worth that sum weekly, but there was not the
slightest evidence of any contract; and Mr. Chambers, on
the part of Sir Eaton, applied for a nonsuit. The Under-
Sheriff said it very often happened in this sort of lodgings,
when families of distinction came to town for a short time,
to make a bargain for the few days they had to remain, and
so it might have been in this case. The plaintiff might as
well have claimed for a quarter's as a week's notice, with-
out any evidence to support it. The jury agreeing in this
view, the plaintiff was nonsuited. Mr. Chambers said, if
there had been the slightest pretext for the claim, Sir E.
Travers, who held a distinguished rank in her Majesty's
navy, and possessed large property, would not have resisted
the demand.
AN AWKWARD AFFAIR.--A few days ago a
happy couple, members of two highly respectable families
in the neighbourhood, were joined in wedlock at the Old
Church, Wandsworth, and the bride and bridegroom, having
fixed on Southampton as the place for spending the
" honeymoon," carriages were in attendanac to convey them
and their friends to the nearest station on the Southamp-
ton railway as soon as the ceremony was concluded. On
the arrival at the station the bride was placed in one of the
first-rate carriages and the luggage deposited in a proper
place of security, but while the bridegroom ( Mr. D.) was
taking leave of a number of friends, who had accompanied
him to the spot, the conductor gave the word " All right, go
on," the engineer turned on the steam, and in an instant the
train shot off at so rapid a rate as to be almost directly out
of sight. The feeling of the bridegroom, on being deprived
of the society of his lovely bride so soon and under such
queer circumstances, may be more easily conceived than
described, and what was to be done upon the emergency
seemed naturally to perplex him much, but he at length
determined on" posting " it to Southampton, and that no
time might be lost, four horses were at once put to one of
the carriages, and he having taken his seat in it the vehicle
was driven off at a pace little short of railroad speed.
NINE MEN KILLED.—Last Monday afternoon
an accident occurred at Househillwood Coal-pit, on the
estate of Househill, belonging to Mr. Galloway, Paisley,
whereby nine persons were killed. The occurrence took
place by about a foot and a half of " till" falling from the
roof of one of the rooms in the pit upon the above-mentioned
individuals who were all sitting near to each other, con-
versing, it is supposed, with two of their friends, who had
come to see them there, both of whom unfortunately lost
their lives.—Glasgow Chronicle.
BANK OF IRELAND.—The Westmeath meet

leg to petition against the renewal of the monopoly, took
place last Tuesday. The county of Dublin meets for the
same object to-day.
HERRING FISHING.—The fishings along the
coast at Aberdeen, Banff, and Port-soy, are prosecuted with
spirit, particularly at Aberdeen ; the takes last week aver.
aged from five to six crans a boat. At Peterhead the aver-
age is 251 crans. " The curers," says the Aberdeen
Herald, " are sending them off to London as fast as they
can get them smokecr; but, by the latest accounts, sales
were not very profitable, and offered lout small prospect of
the next being better."

articles had been delivered. The Hon. Mr. Bayntun was
examined, but only proved that the defendant brought away
a parcel from the plaintiff's, and that the defendant said the
latter was going to " build" him
a coat. The Under Sheriff
told the jury that in his opinion there was no evidence as
to the delivery of the jacket and waistcoat. The foreman
said the jury gave a verdict for the full amount. The
Under-sheriff said—Gentlemen, I told you there was no
evidence of the delivery of the shooting jacket and waist.

There is no evidence. The plaintiffs Counsel said it
would be dangerous to take the verdict except for the coat,
and a verdict was entered for 61. Gs.
EFFECTS OF THE LATE STORNI.--The severe
storm on Wednesday evening last has proved a godsend

the kind has occurred
