(From the Hull Advertiser.)

We pretends not to feel much regret at finding it im-
possible this week to do more than call the particular
attention of the public to the eloquent, glowing, and
soul-stirring charge of the Recorder of Hull to the grand
jury of this borough at the opening of our quarterly ses-
sions yesterday. The learned Recorder, Mr. Warren, as
our local readers well know, was in personal at-
tendance upon the Qneen during her Majesty's
stay in Hull ; and, as was to be expected, the
lofty theme is dwelt upon in the opening of his
charge in language with which it would not be very
safe for newspaper writers to court a comparison. How
different are the utterances of a mouth touched with a
live coat from the Celestial altar from those which serve
the purposes of common speech may be discovered in a
moment by comparing the Recorder's glowing descrip-
tion of the Queen's presence in Hull with most of those
previously published I Now it may surprise hundreds
to be told that in the inspired utterances of such
gifted men as the Recorder is to be sought aid found
that real matter of factness of which business men
profess to be such great admirers. A. true poet, for
example, not only feels and apprehends more fully and
correctly than a clever man not gifted with a poetic
temperament, but he sees infinitely more in any great
object presented to him than is observable by persons of
more limited intellect. When it comes to ordinary
questions of fact usually addressed to grand juries,
such as their utility in the administration of justice—
the ticket-of-leave system--reformatory schools and
the working of the new Beer Bill, the learned
Recorder is as much at home as the dullest of us.
Tn him, as in all men of high intellect, the most
exalted order of mental excellence is not in the least in-
compatible with a thorough acquaintance with all the
details of the very commonest of common things. Never-
theless we regard it as most expedient to take future oc-
casions for severally examining the questionS. As re-
gards the Beer Bill, we most cordially concur in the
thanks which, with meritorious discrimination, the
learned Recorder bestows upon the Lord Provost of
Edinburgh for the pains which he has taken to make
the United Kingdom aware of the practical operation of
the new law in Scotland. Were all other Chief Magis-
trates in England and Scotland to follow his excellent
example an immense amount of goad would be done to
the country. When in Scotland we had some conversa-
tion with him on the subject of his letters to the Times,
and were eye and ear witnesses of the efficacy of his la-
bours in the promotion of National Temperance. A
great; deal everywhere depends upon the zeal and activity
and devotedness of the Magistrates. But these are mat-
ters which shall have our attention when the excitement
produced by the Royal visit has partially subsided, and
when there are no such public teachers as the learned
Recorder ia the way to claim the ears of all intelligent
listeners.

VIGILANCE OF OUR THIEVES.—On Friday last Mr.
Thomas Froggett, of the parish of Little Hereford, at-
tended Hereford fair, had transacted his business, and
was waiting at the booking:office at the railway station
in the afternoon of that day, when 21.5/., consisting of
bank notes, gold, and a cheque for 801., were .extracted
from his breeches pocket. From what we have heard,
we gather that Mr. Froggett, in taking some silver from
his pocket to pay his own fare and that of some friend to
Woofferton station, unfortunately displayed the bag
containing this large amount, when it was doubtless
seen by the thief, for in less than five minutes afterwards
Mr. Froggett discovered he had been robbed.— Worcester

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Holloway's Ointment and Pills
tion.—Mrs. Geatley, of Dartford, was afflicted for
years with bad legs, and she was repeatedly told that it
Was impossible she could ever be cured. Eighteen
months ago she became so much worse that her friends
were obliged to carry her up and down stairs. At
Guy Hospital they refused to receive her, except as an
inn-door patient, as it was feared amputation would be
necessary. She then resolved to try Holloway's Oint
inept and Plll3, and in the course of nine weeks these
remedies alone effected a sound and perfect cure.—Sold

The first race being set for eleven o'clock, the town
was very early astir. Waiters and chambermaids
rushed jostling about, and yet bell-calls were net an-
swered quickly enough. Breakfasts were speedily dis•
cussed, and parties gathered in haste at the subscription
room, but as there was no time for the transaction of
business there, off they hurried to the heath, and all was
bustle and excitement. Truly it was a great day for
sport, 12 of the 13 races appointed for decision being
run. Altogether 95 horses went to the post, and several
of the contests excited a very lively interest by their se-
verity and closeness.

We regret to state that, after a few days' suffering
from quinsy, Mr. J. isepti Rogers, the well-known trainer,
expired at his residence, Newmarket, on Thursday night.
He was an excellent father, a good master, and a zealous
promoter of the prosperity of the town. His loss will
be much felt.

XINGSTON.—This first-class race horse has been dis-
posed of for a large " consideration," and he will stand
at Middlepark Farm, near Blackheath, during the en-
suing season.

NEW UNIFORM FOR THE LETTER CARRIERS.—It is
contemplated to effect a change in the present uniform
of the letter carriers, and to substitute a scarlet coatee
with a dark blue turn-down collar, on which the letters
G.P.O. and the number of the letter carrier will be
legibly embroidered.—Civil 'Service Gazette.
