out his hat, followed by myself and companion, and
about a dozen others. When near the Cock-pump, the
man stopped, and we came up with him. The man
said, Let's go along the Warwick-road, and tell the
mob." They all agreed, and started off ; the man who
had been rescued running first, without his hat. I and
my companions followed him as far as Deritend Bridge,
when we lost sight of him. We continued on along
High-street, Deritend, until we got by Trinity Chapel,
when we were overtaken by the man who had been
rescued, who then had a hat on. There were about a
dozen people with him. We went on towards Spark-
brook ; and, when about a hundred yards from the
chapel, we overtook the mob, who were going on slowly
towards the Warwick-road. They were not then armed
even with sticks, and were not shouting, or doing more
than encouraging one another to go on to meet Lovett
and Collins. They were not so numerous as when
they passed by the Bull-ring.

GUILDHALL.

STEALING A CASH BOY.—William Lowell and
John Chapman, who were remanded a week ago, were
again brought up, charged with having stolen from the
shop of Messrs. King and Thompson, tea-dealers,
King William-street, a cash box containing a 101. Bank
of England note, a 51. Bank of England note, between
71. and 81. in gold and silver, a check for 101., and
another check for 71. 15s. 6d.

It appeared from the evidence that, on the night of
the 14th ult., the prisoners went into the shop of the
prosecutor, and each asked for half a pound of tea.
They were served in different parts of the shop, and
Lowell went out first. Shortly after he had gone the
cash box was missed. Chapman tendered a 51. note
for his tea, and received the change, and also went
away. In the course of the evening the box was taken
to the shop by a boy, who proved that he had received
it from Chapman ; it contained some paper memo-
randums, but no money. Another lad, who was stop-
ped at the Bank with the checks, proved that he was
sent by Lowell.

Sir P. LAURIE committed the prisoners for trial.

MARLBORO UGH-STREET.

THE MUFFIN-BELL AND THE NEW POLICE ACT.—
Charles Smith, a young man, was charged before Mr.
Long, the presiding Magistrate, with offending against
the provisions of the New Police Act, by ringing a bell
in the streets for the sale of muffins and crumpets.

Police constable 106, took the defendant into cus-
tody about six o'clock last evening, committing the
offence in Woodstock-street, Oxford-street.
The defendant said he had been a muffinman from
his cradle, and could not see the harm of getting his
living in the manner he had hitherto done : his tinkling
bell was a nuisance to no one, but, on the contrary, if
he might judge from the smiling greetings he received
from those of his customers who were waiting for
their tea.

Mr. LONG said he had incurred a penalty of 405.,
but under the circumstances he would mitigate it to 7s.
—he must in future vend his wares without ringing
his bell.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday, a
little girl, the child of a roan named Rees, living in
Calvert-street, Swansea, was severely burnt, in conse-
quence of her dress igniting while putting a kettle of
potatoes on the fire. In a state of great alarm, she
rushed into the street, enveloped in flames. A medical
gentleman, being on the spot, took her into the house,
and on examination he found the face, hands, and abdo-
men severely scorched. Having covered the injured
parts with wheat flower, he gave strict injunctions that
she should be left perfectly quiet, and that the room
should be cleared ; but no sooner had he left, than the
child's mistaken friends removed the flour, and applied
linseed oil, &c. The poor child lingered in agony un-
til the following morning, when death put an end to her
suffering. Through the prejudice of those around her
was this poor child deprived of the only chance of reco-
very, as the application of flour has been proved to be
the most efficient of all remedies in similar cases.—
Welchman.

THE LATE PROFESSOR MYLNE.—The lament..
ed death of this amiable and eminent individual will long
be regretted by his former pupils and friends, with the
reverence and gratitude due to departed genius and
worth. Professor Mylne occupied the chair of Moral
Philosophy in Glasgow University for the long period
of forty-two years, and amply sustained the character
that the previous Professors—Adam Smith and Dr.
Thomas Reid,—had imparted to it. Mr. Mylne was
elected to the Professor's chair in 1797, having been
previously a clergyman of the Established Church in
Paisley. He married a daughter of the celebrated Pro-
fessor Miller, who shed a lustre on the University of
Glasgow which will not be effaced during the lapse of
ages. Under the roof of the father-in-law of Mr. Mylne,
the present Premier of England, and many other South-
erns who have since distinguished themselves in the
world, received their education. In politics, Professor
Mylne was a staunch Whig, and was much respected
for the firm and judicious manner in which he main-
tained his character as a politician.—Glasgow Chron.
DREADFUL FlRE.—Just as we were going to
press we received intelligence of a dreadful fire having
broken out in the rick-yard of Mr. Proctor, of King's
Pyon, in this county, by which several valuable ricks
had already been consumed, and others were threatened
with destruction. The city engine, with as many men
as it could convey, was despatched, drawn by four
post-horses from the Hotel, immediately after the news
reached Hereford.—Hereford Times.

WILKINSON'S ANTI-CORROSION PAINT.
REMOVED from 63, Upper Thames-street, to
54, WATLING-STREET, near Queen-street,
Cihe!tpside,—J, R. W. particularly recommends his Paint to
houses
Nobility, Gentry, and the Public, who wish to paint their
l'lauses of Roman cement, stucco, or brick walls, as a preven-
tive to damp or sea spray in exposed situations; it will not
blister or peel off as common paint. On tiling, to represent
slating, iron hurdles, roofs, conservatories, hot-houses, fences,
farna, or any out-buildings, it will last four times as long as
Zinmon paint. It is so simple in its use that any labourer
',I lay it on. To ship-owners for their decks, bottoms of ves-
r!ls, &c., it will be shown, as well as to the public, to be supe-
rior to any paint in use, by testimonials of its lasting fourteen
years on wood and houses, twenty years on iron (see the South-
wark-bridge). The public are particularly guarded in giving
their orders for Wilkinson's Anti-Corrosion Paint, that no
other colour may be imposed upon them for his. ,A
liberal
allowance to the trade.

everything that militates against it. Of all witnesses
Mr. Drummond is the most deeply interested in the
matters at issue ; and if this be admitted, his evidence
may surely be received with considerable qualification,
without imputing to him conduct so disgraceful as that
which our Contemporary declares must attach to our
non-reliance on his testimony."
.. We understand that the stuffs of the Militia are
about to be inspected, with a view to the discharge of
such men as may be found inefficient—it being intended
to re-organise this truly constitutional force in the early
part of next year."
We announced a few days ago the appointment of
Lieutenant-General Maister to succeed Lieutenant-Ge-
neral Sir Samuel Ford %\i'hittingham, K.C.8., in the
command of the Windward and Leeward Islands. The
following are the officers who have been selected by
Lieutenant-General Maister for his personal staff:—
Captain Egerton, of the 89th Regiment, to be his
Military Secretary ; and Captain Staunton, of the
10th Foot, to be his Aid-de-Camp."

" The last United Service Gazette announces that the
depots of the 18th and 94th Regiments are to embark
for the East Indies about the middle of the present
month, these regiments having been augmented to the
Indian establishment. We have since learned that
tonnage has been engaged for their conveyance by the
Directors of the East India Company on the 19th inst.,
within a day or two of which time they will, of course,
take their departure."
We stated a week ago, on the authority of the
United Service Gazette, that it was in contemplation
to place the establishments of all the Depot Companies
of regiments serving abroad upon one uniform footing.
The service companies of regiments abroad, with the ex-
ception of those in the East Indies, are also to be sub-
jected to a similar arrangement. They will in future
comprise GOO rank and file, and the depot companies
200. It is, however, apprehended at the Horse Guards
that it will be difficult to carry this plan into effect, in
consequence of the large body of men which mustneces-
sarily be left with the Depots."

Observatory, Kensington, Dec. 25. J. SOUTH.
P. S. In my Monday's letter to you, had I used the
words " first authentic information of the comet's exist-
ence," it would have been more correct ; since on Wed-
nesday last a gentleman asked me, if " I had seen the
comet ?" and on my answering " No, nor even heard
of it," he replied " a relative of his had seen some no-
tice of it in one of the newspapers." Much connected
as he is with astronomical people, his little knowledge
of the matter, (for he could not tell me where in the
heavens it was situate), and the fact that I had not, as
on former occasions received any announcement of the
discovery personally from Professor Schumacher, I re-
garded the comet as of pleiadic or some other non-
cometary character, and treated it as such, till the first
authentic account of its existence from Professor Schu-
macher reached me on Monday last.

About five o'clock this morning I detected the comet
with an ordinary night-glass, held in and directed by the
hand to that part of the heavens where I expected to
find it. It has very considerable lustre, a very con-
spicuous tail, and in the absence of moonlight must be
visible to the naked eye. When I found it, the at-
mosphere was very clear, but shortly after became hazy,
and even cloudy.
My five feet equatorial for many months having been
devoted to oirservations of a very different character,
was but little fitted for comet work ; nor could I with-
out great inconvenience render it so. Lest, however,
local circumstances should have prevented others from
seeing it, I deemed it right to observe it with sufficient ac-
curacy to enable any one to fix a telescope upon it ; and
for no other purpose do I transmit its approximate place
at half-past six this morning, as, right ascension about 16
hours, 14 minutes ; north declination about 3 degrees,
24 minutes.

The interval between my looking for it and finding it
was'nkit five minutes. It was then in the neighbourhood
of Sigma, in th.F• constellation of Serpens, and is now en-
tering that of Ophiuchus ; and, acting on the suggestion
you gave me many years ago, I subjoin for Saturday
and Wednesday next popular data for finding it.

THE LONDON PARCEL DELIVERY COMPANY.—
Mr. DYER, the sitting Magistrate, wvs applied to for a
summons against the London Parcel Delivery Company
for tho delayed delivery of a hamper, filled .with Christ-
mas cheer, to Mr. Watts, of Mount-place, Peckham
Rye . .

Mr. Watts said a large hamper, filled with perishable
articles, was sent to the receiving-house in Oxford-street
of the London Parcel Delivery Company, with the view
of insuring its more expeditious delivery at his house in
Peckham Rye. The hamper was not delivered until
midday of Christmas-day, and, as a matter of course,
it had been found necessary to get in the neighbourhood
a second supply of those articles which the hamper
ought to have furnished.
Mr. DYER remarked that an alteration would most
likely occur.next Session on the subject of parcels con-
veyed by steam-carriages. As far as regarded the Lon-
don Parcel Delivery Company, he had sent parcels oc-
casionally by them, and he always found the deliveries
were punctual. Mr. Watts said this was not the first
time he had to complain of similar treatment. As the
matter concerned the public he should take other steps
against the Company.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

Sia,—At five o'clock this morning I was in hopes
that, before daybreak, I should have made acquaintance
with:the comet, concerning which I addressed you on
Monday last. Although, however, I doubt not that I
had it frequently in the field of the telescope, gauze-like
clouds, as seen from this place, pervaded that part of
the heavens where the comet is, till considerably after
daybreak ; when, although the atmosphere, becoming
clearer, exhibited stars most distinctly which could not
previously be seen, not a glimpse of anything like a
comet could I get.
I trust, however, that others at other stations may
have been more fortunate.

Of the brilliancy of the comet we are uninformed ;
but from Mr. Rumker, with the small instruments of the
Hamburg Observatory, having, 11 days ago, " gotten
a fine view of it," and from the fact, that it is now ra-
pidly approaching its perihelion, it is probably not very
faißt.

Unable, then, to send you observations of it, I have
great pleasure in transmitting you the following im-
portant information, which I have this instant received
from Professor Schumacher, in a letter, dated Altona,
Dec.2o.

The Berlin observations, more rigorously computed,
give—

ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON INTELLIGENCE.
The Secretary has sold Mr. Neil's yacht the Wanderer,
of 141 tons, and she this day, Dec. 29, sailed for Lon-
don. Sailed also, the Gitana (Gipsy), schooner
the property of E. N. Harvey, Esq.
The Corporation of Newport on Friday decided on
not undertaking, on their account, the proposed plans
of the Medina River Improvement Company, but
offered to lease to a company the bed of the rivers for
the sum it now brings them (1240, but they will not
consent to the project of taking away the property of
certain individuals, nor will they allow the company,
with their consent, to build quays, &c., in front of the
property of others, It was proposed that Newport and
Cowes should have equal weight, that the same num-
ber of commissioners should he chosen from each town,
but the Corporation of Newport, twenty-five in number,
were to be ex officio members ; Cowes would there-
fore be placed in a worse position than ever. Most of
the tradesmen in Cowes are able • now to land their
goods on their own premises, without paying one penny
wharfage, and none pay more than 7s. 6d. per annum,
but should this Bill pass, every one must pay wharfage
although he lands his goods on his own wharf, which
he must still keep in repair at his own expense. We
wish our good friends at Newport would " leave us
alone"—we want not their kind offices—our connection
with them has done us no good, nor has it then, and
the sooner this unnatural union is at an end the better
for both.

Is it right that they should tell us that we shall not
deepen our harbour without askint, leave of them ? Per-
sons living at distance of five miles from us, one-tenth
of whom we do not even know, and who know not our
interests, and whom, if the deepening of our harbour
affects at all, it must be beneficially—but, say they, it
shall not be done unless you allow us to tax you for it,
you shall not direct the undertaking, your business is to
pay the expense ; the numerous yachts and merchant
ships entering Cowes harbour would produce sufficient
funds for the improvement of the harbour ; and if you
do not contribute a trifle towards the improvement of
the harbour, why do you wish to force us, against our
will, into your Bill ?

MAR YLEB ONE.

A 3 oung woman of prepossessing appearance, accom-
panied by her father, asked the Magistrate's assistance
to pat a stop to the folloving annoyance. She stated
that a young man of good connections, had, under a
promise of marriiage, seduced her, and having robbed
her of all her money he deserted her. After her con-
finement she got a situation as lady's maid, and the
man having found out where she was, came continually
to the house, and told her shame before all the inmates.
He had several times come up to the carriage door
whilst she wag riding with her mistress, and calling her
by name, accused her of having a child by him.—Mr.
CODD said, " Young woman, you have only yourself
to :blame for all this." The poor girl, crying bitterly,
acknowledged herself to he most culpable, but hoped
she might have sow... means granted her of pre-
venting the man from ruining her and her child. The
Magistrate granted a summons for the young man to
appear before him, and hear what he said upon the
matter.

Eastern policy afforded them.

NEW CHURCH AT KETLEY.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
On the Bth instant a fine and beautiful organ was
opened for Divine Service at the New Church of
Ketley, Shropshire, on which is the following inscrip.
tion :—" This Church having been built and endowed
by the munificence of his Grace George Granville Duke
of Sutherland, the inhabitants of Ketley and its neigh-
bourhood, under a deep sense of gratitude, have caused
this Organ to be erected as a Thankoffering to Almighty
God
, thus disposed the heart of his servant."
and beautiful stone Church, which is
'Phis
r haying ng
cruciform, and in the Gothic style, has been erected
and endowed at the expense of the Lord Lieutenant of
the County, for the accommodation of his numerous
tenantry, and is quite a model. It was consecrated a
few months since, and is chastely fitted up with every
requisite and convenience. About three-fourths of the
seats are free, and unappropriated. The situation is very
judicious, elevated and central, and the churchyard
commands most extensive views of the surrounding
counties. The home view embraces the celebrated
Wrekin, and far-famed ironworks of the neighbourhood.
The parsonage is a good and commodious house (also
the gift of his Grace) ; and school-rooms, capable of
holding about 200 children, are about to be erected.
Such extensive liberality seemed to leave little for the
inhabitants to dTect. However, a handsome subscrip-
tion (with sums varying from 20/. to Id.) has been
raisial for the erection of an organ, the style of which
corresponds with the interior of the Church, and adds
greatly to its beauty, and on which are inscribed the
grateful feelings of the inhabitants. Th.:, Rev. Thomp-
son Stoneham, M.A., of St. Peter's College, Cani-
bridge, and late Moister of Wrockwardine Wood,
Shropshire, has been preferred to the living.
Surely it is gratifying to think that now a numerous,
regular, and attentive congregation assemble twice on
the Sabbath to worship God, according to the sound
forms of our holy Apostolic Church, where but a few
months since there was no Church within about two
miles.

approximate elements of its orbit—viz. :
