SCENE IN A SCHOOL ROOM.—" What studies
do you intend to pursue ?" said an erudite pedagogue one day,
as Johnny Raw entered his school-room. " Why, I shall
study le id, I 'spose, wouldn't ye?" " Yes, but you will not
want to read all the time; are you acquainted with figures?"
" It's a pity if I ar'nt, when I've ciphered clean through
adoption." " Adoption ! what rule is that ?" said the master.
" Why, it's the double rule of two ; you know that twice two
is four ; and, according to adoption, twice four is two."
You may take your seat, Sir," said the master. " And you
may yourn, too," said the pupil, " for it's a poor rule that
won't work both ways."—New York Paper.
On Saturday morning, about half-past eight o'clock,
Mary Hepburn, the wife of a bricklayer, residing at 4, Pelham-
place, left an infant, ten months old, in charge of a little girl
aged five years ; and during her absence the child's clothes
caught fire, which communicated to those of the infant. The
neighbours, being alarmed by their screams, hastened to the
apartment, and immediately extinguished the flames, but not
before the children were both so dreadfully injured that their
lives are despaired of.
IMPORTANT TO FARMERS AND OTHERS.—
Our agricultural readers must remember, that from and after
the 6th of April all gigs on steel springs are liable to pay
duty ; those on lancewood springs are exempted. A penalty
of 101. is attached to an offence by any per-ion, and by an as-
sessor wilfully omitting to charge them.—Bristol Mirror.
A steeple chace, between Webb and Tarragon,
came off on Tuesday, at Paris, end was won by the fo
The Dukes of Orleans and Nemours were present, and the
company was brilliant and numerous, but not so much so as at
the grand chace of the 29th ult. A little after three the
horses started, followed by M. Sanson as umpire, while the
d'Hedonville was stationed as judge at the winning
post. Webb, ridden by Mr. Nl‘Kenzie Grieves, and Tarragon,
by Count de Morny, went off at a good hunting pace, and
took the first leap without either gaining any ground of the
other. On coming, however, to the Bievere, Tarragon fal-
tered, and very nearly threw his rider. This gave Wilab an
advantage, which he never afterwards lost ; for Tarragon

second time ; and, although well saved by his rider, lost so
much ground that he did not again recover it. Webb kept
up his pace, and cleared the last fence in gallant style, while
Tarragon refused the last ditch, and was turned round, but
was ultimately spurred over it, amidst the cheers of the spec-
tators. The gallant riding of the Count de Aforny, and the
steady skill of Mr. Mackenzie Grieves, excited the admiration
of all who saw them.
The workmen at Marlborough House, under the
Commissioners of Woods and Forests, have razed the co irt-

PARISH OF LAMBETH.-ELEC 'ION
OF CHURCHWARDENS.-(THIS DAY.)

A vestrv-meeting was assembled this morning at the Boys'
School-room, Lambeth-green, for the election of Church.
w3rdens. A very strong interest appeared to be created on
the subject, and between tire and six hundred parishioners at-

tended:
A contest took place in the election of Chairman, Mr.
Shells being proposed by the Liberals, Mr. Weakley by
the Tories. A poll having- been taken, the majority
for Mr. Sheils was declared to be 70: the apparent.
smallness of the majority, in a vestry the vast majority of whom
were evidently Liberal, was owing to the plurality of voting,
under Mr. Sturges Bourne's Act; several Tories giving as
many as six votes.
Mr. GaAny nominated the Liberal list of candidates—Messrs.
Hunt, Sanders, and Barton. In doing so he said his object
was to propose the election of gentlemen for the office of Church-
warden, who would not demand a Church:rate—( Cheers)—
hich under the present circumstances of the parish was a most
unjust proceedirg.—( Cheers.) lie also deemed it expedient
that there should be three Churchwardens in this parish, who
k% ere of the same liberal politics as the Board of Guardians, in
order that the Poor-law funds of the parish might be justly
administered. _ .

Mr. M`LEon seconded the nomination.
Mr. EVANS nominated, and Mr. DYE seconded the nomina-
tion of the Tory list of candidates—Messrs. J. Shepperd,
Sangster, and C. Lovett.
Mr. FALL addressed the meeting at some length in support
of the Liberal Candidates. It was highly important that these
gentlemen should be elected, for they would never propose a
Church-rate, than which nothing in the present state of the
parish could be more unjust.—( Cheers.) The old Church, in
which the rector, Dr. D'Oyley preached, was the only one
in the parish which was not partly, at least, supported by the
pew-rents. The pew-rents of that Church, even at
the low rate of 6s. a year per sitting, would produce
4201. per annum. This would only be at the rate—reckoning
162 services in the year—of one halfpenny a service for each
person, a price lower than that at which punch-and-judy
could be seen in the street.—(Laughter.) Yet Dr. D'Oyley
could not even raise that small sum ; and though he had a kind
of premium in his favour, from the absence of pew rents at his
church, nobody would go to hear him.—( Laughter.) Mr. Fall
went on to say that in point of fact no Church-rate had been
1 'gaily levied for the last three years in this parish.—( Cheers. )
For the last two or three years, he said, there had been no
I public audit of the parish accounts; for the Poor-law Com-
missioners would not allow the printing of these accounts, on
the score of expence, that expence amounting to the large
sum of 5/. each half-year.—(Hear.) The Tory parish officers
who had been in office last year, had managed to get rid of the
very small sum of 64,287/., and, also, to involve the
parish in a debt of 24,400/.—(Loud cries of " Shame 1") It
was important that gentlemen should be elected for Church-
wardens who were members of the Board of Guardians, and
of the same politics as the majority of those Guardians.—
( Cheers.)
The show of hands being taken by the Chairman, was
found to be decidedly in favour of the Liberal candidates.
Great merriment was excited by the few solitary hands
which were held up for the Tory candidates, on whose
b.2half a poll was demanded. It was contended
by the Tories, that this should be a poll of the parish at large.
On the other hand, Mr. Grady and others objected, that in
order to avoid all the evils and injustice of a general poll, with
tie plurality of voting system, the poll should be taken in the
vestry itself, which, they contended, was fully competent to
decide the question.
The CIIAIRMMAN put it to the vestry, whether the poll
should be taken in the vestry, or in the parish generally. The
vestry almost unanimously decided that the former should be
the course of proceeding.
A poll of the vestry was taken ; at the close of which the
Chairman declared the numbers to be for—.

The result was hailed by loud and long continued cheering.
M:. FALL then proposed a Liberal list of candidates
for Overseers. He dwelt with very considerable force on the
propriety of having the proceedings of the Board of Guardians
thrown open to the public—( Cheers)—and the present
Liberal Board of Guardians had decided that this should be
the case in future.—( Loud cheers.) Mr. Fall then ad-
verted to the proceedings of the late Tory Board of Guardians.
From the overwhelming majority which had appeared for the
Liberal list of Churchwardens, it was manifest that a simi-
lar result would attend the election of Overseers and other
officers, and that the proceedings were likely to occupy the
whole day.

NEW LINE OF STEAMERS BETWIXT LIVERPOOL
AND GLASGOW. —ln reference to an advertisement in
this paper, relative to a new line of steamers intended
for the Liverpool station, and which, we notice, are to
be built of iron, we understand that the leading advan-
tages • which these vessels will possess are greater
strength, safety, and speed than can be obtained in
vessels built of timber, by being divided into five sec-
tions, with partitions of iron as strong as the sides of
the vessel. They will not only be safety vessels as re-
gards fire, but also as respects striking upon a rock,
or getting into collision with another vessel ; inas-
much as, although one, or even two, of the sections
were cut and filled with water, the remaining sections
would maintain the vessel afloat. We understand, that
the speed of these . vessels is guaranteed to surpass
considerably that of any vessel at present entering the
Clyde ; end so perfectly adapted will they be for the Liverpool
trade, that they will arrive at or depart from the Broomie-
law at my stage of the tide, or even at low water ; and, from
the circumstance cf their leaving this at a regular hour every
afternoon, so as to arrive at Liverpool the following mornin,
by business hours, the communication betwixt this and
London, via the Birmingham Railway, will be brought within
the compass of less than thirty hours. We are also informed,
that these vessels will have second cabins, with sleeping
berths, for the accommodation of a class of society who have
not hitherto possessed the opportunity of enjoying that com-
fort on the station betwixt Glasgow and Liverpool.—Glasgow

RAILWAY,--A requisition to the High Sheriff of
this county, to call a meeting, for the purpose of considering
the propriety of constructing a railway from this town to Bir-
mingham, appears in previous columns. The requisition is
signed by upwards.of four hundred names, and the High She-
riff has appointed Thursday next for the meeting. The pro-
posed line is intended to pass from Shrewsbury, through or
close by the towns of Wellington, Shiffual, Wolverhampton,
and Dudley,—Shrewsbury Chronicle.
On Saturday, at the Insolvent Debtor's Court, the
Rev. Thomas Scott, the younger, clerk of Nether Broughton,
in the county of Leicester, who was before the Court on
Thursday, was again brought up for final adjudication. Mr.
Woodroffe appeared as before on behalf of Mr. Gibson, the
opposing creditor, and Mr. Cook for the insolvent, on whose
behalf a witness of the name of Thomas Boyce was called, to
prove that certain horses upon the insolvent's farm were his.
He stated that he was the proprietor and driver of the'Tally-ho
Birmingham coach. He had above 100 horses, and that he
had known the insolvent twenty years ; and the horses were a
loan. The insolvent was ultimately discharged, upon entering
into a rule of Court not to throw any impediment in the way
of the assignee taking the colts, and Mr. Boyce signed a con-
sent to the same effect.
The police have intimated in various quarters of the
