A WEEKLY PERIODICAL,

CONTAINING

LITERARY MATTER of INFORMATION and AMUSEMENT,

The First Volume of ELIZA. COOK'S JOURNAL is new com-
pleted, and the Proprietor takes this opportunity of expressing her
sense of the honourable and coveted position which a generous Public
has placed her in.
Many difficulties beset the path of a youag Journalist which a
little experience removes, and most earnest thanks are proffered for
the kind indulgence bestowed on the errors which have occasionally
marked the Editorial and Practical Departments. The best proof of
the Editor's feeling will be found in her endeavours to render the
Journal far more worthy of the flattering patronage it receives,
and without any fallacious beast, she can promise her Readers a
futuresupply of sound and valuable matter.
Tho most gratifying circumstance attending the extensive circula-
tion and cordial reception of the Journal has been in proving that a
large reading public can be found for a cheap Serial who do not
require unhealthy excitement awl mere ephemeral entertainment to
gain their attention. Right glad has the Editor been to see that
her plain and simple wish to elevate the morals and invigorate the
mind, has been graciously received ; for, though amusement is one
of the chief essentials, not only of periodical literature. but of our
whole lives, it should ever be blended with a principle and purpose
tending to advance humanity. f • -
From the cheering encouragement already received, the Editor
trusts fully to her friends for the future, and has equal pride and
plewure in presenting her First Volume as a Journalist to those
whose generous perceptions stainped her first attempt as a Poet.

was able to rise again he had hold of her, and after a
sharp struggle, secured her in good condition, without a
bone being broken. The bird is said to bo full grown,
and of very large sizn.—Ross-shire Advertiser.

THE BERMONDSEY MURDER.

At the Southwark Police. court Mr. a'Beckett, who
sat for Mr. Secker, was engaged nearly the whole of
yesterday in hearing complaints from the parish
authorities and other parties, respecting the stages
erected in front of Iloremonger-lane Gaol, and the
great nuisance they caused to the inhabitants. The
clerks to the Commissioners: of Pavements for the
Borough and Dover-road districts were in attendance
with the respective surveyors.
The Clerk informed the magistrate that many of
the inhabitants of that part of Horsemonger-lane
narly opposite the gaol had erected stages with scaffold
poles in their gardens for the purpose of letting seats
to the public to view the awful spectacle. They were
erected in such a slender way, that unless they were
ordered to be pulled down, the sacrifice of human life
must be great. He therefore called for the magistrate's
interference for the purpose of removing those disgust
in g nuisances.

Mr. aTeckett—Have you any local Act to prevent
such erections? Clelk—There is a clause our

local Act that no person shall put up ahoardlng;
scaffolding of any kind except for the purpose of
making an enclosure for manufacturing mortar and
repairing a building, and that licence shall be obtained
from the official referees for that purpose. Parties
making such erections and not obtaining the required
licence, were liable to a penalty of 10s. a day until
such be pulled down. - -
Mr. a'Beckett, after examining the Act of Parlia-
ment, said he considered the surveyor or official
referee had not power to license such buildings as
those complained of. The Act limited their powers,
and be considered that the Commissioners could at
once order the removal of the erections.

The Clerk to the Commissioners said, that he was
of the same opinion as the magistrate. If the parties
could get over the nuisance by the penalty, the pay-
ing 10s. a day would be a mere nothing to them. He,
however, was of opinion that unless the stages wore
instantly removed, several lives would be sacrificed.
Mr. aTeckett said, that on further looking into
their Act of Parliament, he considered that the com-
missioners, had full power to remove the nuisances.
The Act stated that no building should be erected
on private property for exhibitions, &c., unless the
owner thereof obtained a licence.

Mr. Porter, the surveyor, informed the magistrate
that the parties who erected them were liable to a
penalty of 2001. unless they obtained a certificate
that the buildings were safe. He had examined the
erections, and was satisfied that they were not safe.
Superintendent Haynes stated that a staging had
been erected over the skittle-shed at the side of Swan-
street, next to the Masons' Arms, for the accommoda-

tion of the richer classes. It was very secure, but
the poles rested on the pavement and caused an ob-
struction. He also considered that unless they were
removed from the pavement parties would climb up
and lose their lives.

Mr. Porter said there was a clause in the local
Act which met that case. It was an obstruction in
the public footpath, and the magistrates had power
to order its removal ; but be understood the party
who erected it had obtained a licence from one of the
referees.

The referee stated that he certainly gave a licence,
but he did not know for what purpose the scaffording
wastob
buildings.eerec
tecl.lt was obtained under the pretence
of repairing
The Clerk to the Commissioners pointed out the
79th clause of the Act, which gave the magistrate
power to order all obstructions to be seized, such as
timber, wood, &c.
Mr. .'Beckett said it was wonderful that the official
referee did not susFej4 what the erection was ,for
when he gave his licenw. .4le pkighi -have 'suspe.cted
that it was to accommodate people to witness the
execution.

Mr. Porter said that Mr. Monk, the landlord of the
public-house, had let the skittle area to a Mr. Chapple,
thereby shifting the responsibility off his shoulders.

Mr.i'Beckeit said it was desirable that the nuisance
should be instantly removed. The Commissioners of
the Pavements had power to remove them, and in
performing that duty they could have the assistance
of the police.

Superintendent Haynes informed the magistrate
that he had given all the parties notice under the
New Building Act, which specified, that before any
building of a temporary kind should be erected for
the purpose of accommodating parties to witness a
procession or exhibition of any kind, they must have
a certificate from the official referee. He found on
inquiry that such was not the case, and that they
were so slightly put up that great danger was to be
apprehended from them.

I Mr. ('Beckett said it was a very important point
for him to decide, but after mature consideration, he
was of opinion that the New Building Act could be
put in force. He would therefore recommend the
authorities to :serve notices on the owners of those
buildings, and inform them that unless they imme-
diately pulled them down they would be fined 200/.
Ile thought the parties would soon clear the grounds
of such disgusting erections.
The surveyors, with Mr. Superintendent Baynes,
left the court with a number of officers to see to the
removal of the causes of complaint.
The missing crowbar, about which so much has
been said, has at length been found, and there is very
little doubt, from the appearance which it displayed,
that it was the instrument by which O'Connor's death
was finally effected, for a considereble quantity of
hair was adhering to it, and the weapon was much
stained with blood. Manning's statement that the
crowbar would be found at a railway station tures
out to be perfectly correct, for the instrument was
discovered yesterday at the Lewes station. It seems
that information respecting the crowbar had been
conveyed to the London-bridge station, whereupon
Mr. Weatherhead, one of the principal clerks, imme-
diately proceeded to Brighton and instituted an
inquiry, the result of which was that a parcel had
been laying at the Lewes station for some consider-
able time, addressed to " Mrs. Smith, Lewes," and
had been put aside amongst the things which are
expected to be called for. It was carefully wrapped in
brown paper, and when Mr. Weatherhead opened it he
discovered the identical crowbar which had been used
for the completion of the murder of O'Connor.
Mr. Weatherhead left Brighton yesterday evening
fur London, with the crowbar in his possession.

The vicinity of liorsemonger lane prison and all
the streets in the neighbourhood presented a very
extraordinary scene yesterday. At an early hour in
the morning crowds of spectators from all parts of
the metropolis began to assemble in the locality, and
before noon upwards of 10,000 persons had congre-
gated in front of and near to the gaol. The " morbid
curiosity" which had attracted them found little
however, wherewith to gratify itsralf until after twelve
o'clock, when the black timbers forming the dismal
apparatus of death became visible on the summit of
the prison roof. Then every eye was turned in one
direction, and many were the speculations passing
current among the crowd as to the probable result of
the awful scene to which these preparations were the
prelude. _ _

A number of workmen were employed at an early
hour in erecting strong barricades along the front of
the prison, leaving a space of about I'2 feet to be kept
clear for the officers on duty. Barricades were also
thrown up at short ir.t.:.rvals across the main thorough-
fare, and in several of the streets leading thereto, in
order to lessen the pressure of the crowd and prevent
the occurrence of accident. In consequence of an
application to the Commissioners of Pavements for
the district, a number of officers under that body,
attended by a detachment of police-constables, pro-
ceeded yesterday morning to inspect the various scaf-
, folds and temporary seats erected in the neighbour-
hood. . This was done with a view to their removal
'in all cases where the slightest encroachment
had been made on the public way. In
the instance of a gallery erected in the
rear of the Masons' Arms public-house, the support-
ing posts had been placed upon the pavement in
Swan-street. The landlord of the house was imme-
diately ordered to remove the obstruction, which was
done after considerable labour and difficulty. A
similar nuisance was removed in front of the Albion
Tavern, and two or three other objectionable erections
in progress were stopped. In other cases, where
parties had built up seats on their own private but
unenclosed ground, formal notices were given that if
not removed within twelve hours they would be pro-
ceeded
against for the penalty incurred, amounting in
each case to 2001. In two cases the parties refused to
1
accede to the order made, and they will have to abide
the consequences. It appears that, by the Gaol Act,
the erection of scaffolding of any kind within view of
the prison is prohibited; but the Act contains a clause
rendering it necessary to give fourteen days' notice to
parties offending. Unfortunately, in the present in-
stance, this was not done, and the Act is therefore a
nullity.

The sale and hire of seats was carried on with great
activity throughout the whole of yesterday by the
oleupants of the houses in \Vinter•terrace, a row of
small tenements facing the gaol. The prices rose as
the demand increased, and during the afternoon large
premiums were offered for places in favourable situa-
arms overlooking the gallows. Mr. Chadwick is the
owner of this property, and through his agent he Iris
informed the tenantry that ,he will not allow any
scaffolding or seats to be thrown up on the roofs of the
