ARRIVAL OF FOUR OF THE DOR-

CHESTER LABOURERS.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)

PLYMOUTH, MiRCII 17.—The ship Jan Berry, John
Robson master, arrived here yesterday from Sydney. last
from New Zealand, with timber for her Majesty's Dockyard.
She left Sydney on the Bth September for New Zealand,
where she remained several weeks, and sailed on her voyage
home on the 9th Nov. She has brought as passengers four
of the men who were transported in 1834 for illegal combina-
tion, and who have since received a free pardon : their names
are James Loveless, James Brine, Thomas Stanfield, and
John Stanfield. Of the six who were sent to the colony, one
has previously arrived, and one (Jas. Hammett) is left in New
South Wales, his companions not being able to ascertain
where he was, otherwise they would all have come together..
They have, since landing, been kindly received by Mr. Mort
gag, of the Dolphin Inn, Barbican Quay, who has sbow,n
them every attention. The captain and officers of the John
Berry speak in the highest terms of their behaviour during the
voyage. They leave here on Wednesday for Dorc'nester.
James Loveless, with whom we have conversed, appears an
intelligent, well-behaved man ; but he complains very much
of the delay in communicating to him that a tree pardon had
been sent out for him. He says that he o'.tly received it in
November, 1836, while two were released, in the March pre-
vious. Various attempts were made to induce him to send
home for his family, but he invariably refused, and at last he
was ordered home. The convicts left Plymouth 10th April,
1834, and on their arrival were treated exactly as the other
convicts. James Loveless was sent nearly 500 miles in the
interior to work for a Scotchman named Maclian. He speaks
in the most flattering terms of the beauty of the country.

On Saturday Mrs. Hodgson had the honour of
submitting to her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, a
finished proof of the engraving from Mr. Parris' '?ortrait of
the Queen, with which her Royal Highness expressed herself
much pleased.
MARRIAGE IN FRANCE.—On Thursday, the
22d of March, the youthful, accomplished, and, rich Mademoi-
selle Rosalie Aglae Faure, only daughter and heiress of Mon-
sieur Louis Faure, of St. Peray, department de l'Ardeche,
will be united in marriage to Monsieur le Comte Napoleon
Lepic, of Andrisy Park, near St. Germain's. The bride-
groom is eldest son of the late Count Lepic, one of the faithful
Generals of the French Empire, and godson of Buonaparte.
MIRACLE IN THE RIVER OUSE.—Charlotte
Beeby, late of Elstow, about 25 years of age, an inhabitant of
Biddenham, has for the last five years been a cripple, with an
affection of the back, the lower limbs being perfectly paralysed.
The affection has resisted the medical treatment of many
practitioners. Being acquainted with the primitive Episco-
palian church doctrines, taught by the Rev. Mr. Matthews, of
this town, she conceived that if she were baptised by that gen-
tleman she would recover. Accordingly the Rev. Gentleman,
at half-past ten at night, in the presence of a hundred specta-
tors, converts to his doctrines, on Monday proceeded to the
river Biddenham, whither the deceased person was removed in

a cart as usual, when moved about ; Mr. Matthews going into
the river to support her, immersed her in the water, and she
immediately said, " Leave me go, I can walk," card walked
out of the water, and ran some distance up a hill. till she was
exhausted, but she has retained the use of her limbs ever
since.—Bedford Mercury.
A Kelso paper states that last week the Berwick
fishermen had no occasion to go to sea, the fish having come
on shore to them, glad to take shelter, it is conjectured, from
the fury of the storm. The sho=e was literally covered with
cod fish and haddocks, most of which were taken alive.

At a meeting of Lord Fitzroy's supporte-,s at the
Woolpack Inn, Bury, on Monday evening lust, a memorial
was unanimoudy agreed to by those present, calling on his
Lordship either to resign his seat in Parrinment for that
borough, or to give up his Government appointment, which
latter had prevented him from keeping his pledge to his
constituents of supporting the motion on the Ballot.—Bury
Post.
