The Parma Gazette of the 10th publishes a decree
of the Duke, which, after reciting that the misrule
existing at present in the department of public in-
struction calls for a serious reform, particularly in
so far as concerns the superior schools, where some
professors take it upon themselves to instil per-
verse and subversive maxims into the minds of
their pupils, instead of est:Piling them to
fidelity towards their legitimate Sovereign, enacts-
1. The suppression of the superior schools of Parma
and Piacenza, without suspending, however, the
payment of the stipends-to the professors until fur-
ther orders. 2. The nomination of a commission of
enlightened men, to entrusted with the reorganisation
of the said establishment, and with an inquiry into
the religious, moral, and, above all, political conduct
of the professors and other officials.

41c1 to 40, low -middling and good middling 44d
to 41d, good ordinary coarse 4:1-1 per lb. Mace
is Lot so much inquired after, and prices suffered a de-
pression of ld to 2d. At public sale 26 chests were
sold, good pale damp at 2s 4d to 2s 6d mid rrd 2s to
2s 3d, low dark is 5d to Is Bd. With brown Nutmegs
the market has been more freely supplied, and rather
lower rates have been accepted for middling acrd inferior
sorts, but better kinds realized full terms. At
public 40 cases have been offered and all
found buyers, good and fine brown went at
from 3s 6d to 4s 3d, middling and good mid-
dling 2s 8d to 3s 6d, middling small 2s 5d to 2s 7d,
mouldy 2s 6rl to 3s 4d, damaged 2s 7d to 2s 9d, worm
eaten 8d; 10 bags in the shell good is 5d to Is 7d, and
damaged Is 2d; 312 of wild in the shell were, however,
all taken in at 6d. There are sellers of Dutch limed
Nutmegs at 2s 6d for first sort; still few buyers are to
be met with. Jamaica Ginger is in larger supply, and
less wanted, prices are rather lower for inferior sorts,
whereas in the value of better kinds no variation is
apparent.
SPIRITS.—East India Rum has been dealt in with
more freedom, still there are sellers at former low rates.
The sales since this day week have been 300 puns at
Is 3d proof strength, and the market is well supplied.
In Leeward Island there has been little passing, and
Is 4id to is 5d is the value, whilst the tendency
of , prices is to recede. Only small purchases
have been made in Jamaica for home con-
sumption, as expert orders come in slowly. The market
is still well supplied with low and mid sorts, but of fine
few parcels are on offer. The value of 30 to 38 per cent
over proof is from 2s 2d to 2s 6d, 33 to 36 over 2s 8(1
to 3s, and better sort 3s 2d to 4s. Demerara is offered
at rather lower rates, yet few buyers are to be met
with, and the value of 28 to 40 per cent over proof
is from is 10d to 2s 2d. The stock of Rum con-
tinues to get larger, but for all purposes deliveries ex-
ceed those of the former year, yet prices are lower that
at this time by 2d to 4d per gallon Of East India
Shrub 50 hhds at public sale were sold at is 9d for fair. In
Brandy an extensive business has been concluded, and at
further advanced rates; the home trade clearances remain
of much moment. Holders display much firmness, and
4s 4d to 4s 6d is the value of Ccgnac, best brands of
the vintage of 1848. A fair sale exists for Geneva at
Is 9d to is 103 for exportation sort, and at 2s 3d to 3
3d for fine. There is no variation in the value of Bri-
tish made Spirit, yet not much business has been done.
INDIGO.--The market continues in a quiet position for
East India, shippers and home dealers operating witl
caution, whilst in some cases the rates accepted have
been rather under those of the last quarterly auction.
For public competition on the 9th of Oct. the quantity
declared has been increased to 19,100 chests. Spanish
is not much wanted, and late rates are not to be ob
tained. A large public kale is declared.

the value of nee P.Y.C. Only limited sales have beer
made for delivery in the last three months of the year a'
37s to 37s 3d ; these moderate rates are, however
expected to cause a better demand shortly. The valu
of home melted is 36s 6d to 37s net cash, and a

forge supply. Other kinds of Tallow are further

purchases in southern Oil, and the parcels sold by privet(
reaty were at stiffer rates; at aucion 32 tuna went at
321 15s to 331 for double, and at 32/ per tun for single

tinged 321 to 341, yellow and brown 291 to 311; thi
supply is small of the better sorts. Sales to a fair

CITY OF LONDON MECHANICS'
INSTITUTE.
On Monday evening Dr. Cromwell &Hs ered an
important and interesting lecture on the Antiquities
of the British Islands. The lecturer having briefly
alluded to the condition of the Aboriginal inhabitants,
proceeded to offer a few remarks on the Tumuli, or
Barrows, and the articles found therein ; these were, for
the most part, of brass, some of stone, or flint ; those of
iron were of the British Roman period; these instru-
ments from their shape, by adapting the handle.
might be used for domestic or military purposes, as
occasion required. In the Wiltshire Barrow, three
feet below the surface, the remains of a dog had been
found, and six feet lower down those of a man, sup.
posed to have been a hunter, which reminds us of
the lines of the poet—
" Lo, the poor Indian! whose untutor'd mind
Sees God in clouds, or hears him in the wind;
His soul proud science never taught to stray
Far as the solar walk, or milky way;
Yet simple nature to his hope has given,
Behind the cloud-topt hill, an humbler heaven;
Some safer world in depths of woods embrac'd,
Some happier island in the watery waste,
Where slaves once more their native land behold,
No fiends torment, no Christians thirst for gold.
To be, contents his natural desire,
lie asks no angel's wing, no seraph's fire;
But thinks, admitted to that equal sky,
His faithful dog shell bear him company."
Silbury 111111, in Berkshire, was the largest' hill-
mound in Europe, and on examination was found to
resemble the great pyramid of Ghizeh, the top of each
being flat ; they were used doubtless for similar pur-
poses, as a monument to the dead, and as a high altar
for the worship of God. Of the rock fortresses, Dun-
barton, Dunatnose, and Windsor were examples ; of
the hill fortresses, Old Sarum was perhaps the
most ancient, having been successively held by Bri-
tish, Roman, Saxon, and Norman, and was improved
in Alfred's time. These, with many other inte-
resting matters, were ably discussed by the lecturer,
and the subject was illustrated throughout by refe-
rence to numerous effective and highly finished dia-
grams. The lecturer, in dilating on the importance
of antiquarian research, remarked that in the absence
of this many important passages in the Scriptures had
been poorly rendered by commentators, and their
strength and meaning obscured.

ATTEMPTED MuaDEß.—The village of Stratton
St. Margaret, nar Swindon, Wilts, was thrown into
considerable excitement on Friday last, owing to Mr.
Abel Habgood, sou of Mr. John Habgood, of that village,
having beta shot at on the previous night, on the Swin.
don and Lechdale turnpike road. It appears that Mr.
Habgood had visited the neighbourhood of Lechdale on
Thursday last, and was returning home between ten and
eleven o'clock in the evening, in a gig, when be was
accosted by a man on the road, about a mile from the
town of Highworth, who requested a lift to Swindon.
This was acceded to, and tirr two entered into conversa-
tion, about two miles on the road, until they arrived
at a cross. roads where the man requested to alight. Mr
Habgood immediate ly pulled up hi, horse, and his com-
panion. seizing the loins in one hand, drew a pistol with
the other, and fired Lull in the .ace of Mr. llabgoed,
and then decamped. The pistol fortunately was not
loaded with a ball, but shot only, several of se hich Mr.
Habgood received in his face and hat. Medical assist-
ance was procured, and a number of shots have been
extracted from his head and face. The police are now
ac.ively engaged in tracing out the guilty person, it
being generally suspected that jealousy only, and not
robbery, was the instigation of this diabolical attempt.
NEW WAY TO DRESS VEGETABLES.—With plain
boiled peas, when just boiled I put in a stewpan a lit,.le
milk, butter, cayenne pepper, and one ounce of grated
Parmesan cheese, stir two minutes, and serve. French
beans may be dressed the same way, as also yeung
broad beaus and cauliflowers, or any small vegetables.—

Van Diernan's Land.,

The RECe,annn,after the case had proceeded to some
length, everessed an opinion that the indictment was
nut strip orted by the evidence, and
Mr. PARRY said that he should at once how to
the e pin ion thus expressed by the Court, but his in-
straztioy is were peremptory to oral all the wones‘es.
Sono further evidence was then gone into, but the
case fo' the prosecution was not in any material re-
spect.s trengthened by it, and the Learned Counsel at
length :said he did not feel that, under the circum-
stances., he should be justified in occupying any more
of 'the. p üblic time.

The.). ury accordingly, under his Lordship's direc-
tion, returned a verdict of Not guilty.
There were two other indictments against the de-
fendants, .arising out of the same transaction, but
Mr. PA,BRY said that after what had taken place
he should not proceed with them.
Mr. CL ARICSON said there was not the slightest
foundation for the charges that had been preferred.
The del( mdants were then discharged.

POII.IC.E lINTELLiGENCE.
MARYLP; )1%,
Henry Li'vermore and George Gilpin were brought
up in custody, on the charge of having been con-
cerned in stealing an hydrometer, value four gni:was,
the property of Mr. John Earles Lawford of the
Castle Tavern, Kentish-town.
A great deal of evidence was gone into, and the
inquiry occupied ;the attention of the Court upwards
of an hour.

Gilpin was dismissed, and Livermore remanded till
Monday next.
Mr. Thomas Ashton Cockayne, master of a gram-
mar•shool at Brompron, and who was liberated upon
bail on Monday, the 10th inst., was re ex;imined be-
fore the sitting magistrate, Mr. Broughton, on the
charge of having com miffed an indecent assault upon
police•constable Angell, 255 S.
Mr. Steele attended as solicitor for the defendant,
for whom he acted upon the first inquiry, and he
cross•examined the complainant at some length with
regard to his conduct while living at Melksham,
which, according to a letter received by him from
the magistrate's clerk there, was of anything but a
favourable nature.

The investigation lasted nearly two hours, and the
magistrate, at length, came to the conclusion that he
was bound to send the case for the consideration of
a jury.

The accused, who denied the truth of the allega-
tion made by the officer as to the grossly-indecent
assault upon which he had been brought up, was
hailed, as in the first inst'nce, by highly respectable
friends, in the sum of 2001. each, in addition to his
own recognisance in 3001. fur his being forthcoming
to take his trial.

CLERKEN WEL L.
Yesterday, illr. Robert Long, of No. 28, Charles.
street, Hatton-garden, was placed at the bar before
Mr. Combo, charged by John Flanigen, aged 15, of
Pheasant's-court, Gray's Inn-lane, with having vio-
lently assaulted him.
The boy, whose mouth was severely mutilated, said
that on Sunday last he was passing through Charles-
street, Hatton-garden, where there was a crowd of
persons. The prisoner rushed at him with a large
drover's stick, and struck him with it a violent blow
upon the mouth, which cut him severely. The pri-
soner also kicked him.

Mr. COMBE—Did you give him any provocation ?
The witness said he did not.

The officer who took the prisoner into custody said
that during the whole of Sunday and for some days
past the neighbourhood of Charles-street and its vici-
nity were in a state of riot and confusion, in conse-
quence of a warfare which was carried on by two
factions of Irish boys and lads connected with Saffron-
hill and Gray's Inn-lane. They met together armed
with bludgeons and other weapons, and fought despe-
rately against each other, and injuries were inflicted
on both sides, but their activity eluded the police.
The prisoner, in his defence, said that himself and
family had been annoyed most egregiously by the
violent conduct of the parties alluded to, and his
children had been violently attacked and injured. On
Sunday last upwards of one hundred of the lowest
description of boys assembled in Charles street with
sticks such as are used by drovers. They commencing
fighting and making a great noise, and hearing that
his children, who were playing near his house, were
hurt in the crowd, and feeling indignant, he left the
house, and seeing the prosecutor acting violently he
took the stick from him, and rushing into the crowd
he certainly did strike in every direction, but he was
not aware of having struck the prosecutor.
Mr. ComsE—Then you don't know whether you
struck him or not? You did not know or care who
you struck ? Prisoner—That is true, but the nuisance
was disgraceful. They broke my windows, shutters,
and doors by throwing stones ; there are large holes
through the street-door in consequence of their ex-
treme violence.
Mr. ComisE asked the prosecutor whether he had
the stick, or did he use any violence ? He said he
had no stick, and he did nothing to offend.
The constable said he was connected with the
Gray's Inn-lane gang or faction, and was one of tl-e
most desperate, and he had nen him with a stick like
the one produced.
Mr. COMBE reprimanded the boy, and said he had
brought it all upon himself by his own misconduct.
He cautioned him as to his future conduct, discharged
Mr. Long, and directed the attention of the police to
the future proceedings of such young ruffians.
Mr. Long thanked his Worship and left the court.
" WHICHEVER NAME YOU PLEASE."-William
-
Grindley, alias William Grice, alias William
Edwards, who represented himself as being the son
of Captain Grindley, of the 43d Light Infantry, was
charged by Mr. Isaac Jacobson, jeweller, of Oxford-
street, with stealing a valuable dressing-case.
The particulars of the case have been already
detailed in the newspapers. The prisoner, on being
placed at the bar, blubbered like a child, as at his
former examination

Some further additional evidence being taken,
Mr. COMBE asked the prisoner if he had ever gone
by the name of Grice ? Prisoner—Never ! oh, never !
Mr. COMBE,--I have got the certificate of your
baptism here. You were christened William Grice.
You gave your name William Grindley and William
Edwards. Which name will you go by ? Prisoner—
I don't care which ; any name you like.
Mr. COMBE--It is immaterial. Your father's
name was John Grice.

Prisoner—l know nothing of that. My father
always told me my name was Grindley.
The depositions having been fully taken and read
over, the prisoner was committed to Newgate for trial,
and the witnesses bound over to prosecute.
He was taken from the bar crying, and conduct-
ing himself in a wild and distracted manner, which
was evidently assumed, and he was conveyed to
Newgate.
CHARITY. - The following letter was yesterday
handed to our reporter :

" Sept. 16, 1848.
" Sir,—On this day of heart's_giving all persons who
are absent, from London on pleasure, ought to send a
trifle to their diseased fellow-creatures who cannot afford
to of tain fresh air. Allow me to send a trifle to you to
dispose of as you think best ; and, to save trouble, an
acknowledgment in the newspapers will suffice.
" Yours, &c.

" BOWEN MAY, Herne Bay."
The letter contained a draft for one guinea on
Messrs. Dixon, bankers.

L.4II.IBETIL
Yesterday a young woman, named Jane Murray,
was brought before the sitting magistrate, Mr. Elliott,
charged with attempting self-destruction.
It ar peered from the evidence of police-constable
Fraser, 87 L, that on Friday evening last he was
called ioto a public-house in the Westminster-road,
and the prisoner was pointed out to him as suffering
under the effects of poison. He saw that such was
the case, and forthwith procured medical aid; an eme-
tic was administered to the prisoner by the assistant
of Mr. Dodd, a surgeon, and the result was the re-
moval from the stomach of the prisoner of a large
quantity of oxalic acid. The prisoner admitted that
she had taken the poison owing to the troubles she
had suffered: She was removed to the workhouse in
a very weak state, and thence she had now been
brought before the Court.

When called upon now to say what answer she had
to give to the charge the prisoner said that when she
took the poison she did not know what she was about.
A young man with whom she had kept company for
two years had left her and had married another. He
met her on Friday, and after giving her something to
drink had communicated the fact to her, and she, on
parting with him, had purchased the oxalic acid,
which she had obtained under the pretence that she
required it to clean a straw bonnet. She added that
she should not have taken the poison if she had been
in her right senses at the time.

The magistrate ordered her to be remanded for a
week, and to be taken care of in the infirmary of the
prison.
On Saturday last the magistrates of this court re-
ceived the following note, with its enclosure, for the
use of the poor-box.
" Fleetwood, 17th September, 1849.
" Sir,—Now is the time when, more than ever, it is
our duty to assist the wants of the poor to the best of
our means. Cholera seems to be raging most in your
district, and enclosed I beg to hand you half a 51. note,
the other half of which shall be sent when I see an
acknowledgment in the newspapers of the first half, No.
36,039, having been received by you. The money to be
distributed among the necessitous poor.
I am, sir, yours respectfully,
isTo the Presiding Magistrate at the
Lambeth Police Court."
SOUTH WARD
CHARGE OF BlGAMT.—Yesterday, a well dressed
y our ,g man, named John Chikoe Purnell, formerly
errybiyed as managing clerk in the post-office at
Reading, WAS brought before Mr: Seeker, charged

"S. p. Q,

with intermarrying with Mary Elizabeth Lucas, his
former wife being then and now alive.
Mr. Joseph Goldsmith Lucas, a respectable farmer,
at Ticehurst, near Reading was called by Mr. Binns,
who was retained for the prosecution. Witness
stated that the prisoner introduced himself into the
family while living at Reading, and, from the re-
spectable situation which he held and his plausible
statements about his property, he was ailowed to pay
his attentions to his sister. Knowing that she had
considerable property besides money in the funds,
from letters which be intercepted, he induced her to
leave home clandestinely and dispose of her property,
and on the 12th of July last he married her in the
name of James Richardson, at Christchurch, Black-
' friars road. Having obtained all her property from
her, he deserted her, and witness ascertained that he
had another wife living at Bristol.
Mr. gECKEIt asked whether he was possessed of
proof of the first marriage ? Mr. Burins replied that
he had the certificates of both the marriages. The
second one was found on the prisoner when taken
into custody. He asked for a remand for the purpose
of obtaining further evidence.
Mr. SEC ER asked when he expected to get further
evidence, as he could not remand him for more than
eight days. He (Mr. Binns) must, however, give him
sonic proof that the prisoner was the nian !more Le
could acquiesce in his demand.
Mr. Bums said he could prove it by the prisoner's
admission. A letter was found upon him to that
effect, which he could produce, but he would ratter
not make public the whole of the contents at present,
as the ends of justice might be defeated.
Mr. SECKER said that it' he wanted the prisoner to
be detained he must produce some grounds. lie had
better read some portion of the letter which related to
the marriage.
Mr. Binns then read the following passage from the
letter:—" I was determined to marry .her (Miss
Lucas), which I (lid in the name of Richardson, at
Christ Church, lilackfriars•road." The letter was
signed " John Chilcott Purnell."

Alfred Aylett, 51 M, said he took the letter from
the prisoner. He acknowledged it to be in his hand-
writing, and that he had married a second wife. He
found on the prisoner a number of pawnbrokers'
duplicates relative to female wearing apparel, and some
documents belonging to his second wile
Mr. Edwin, the chief clerk, asked th? prisoner
whether he had anything to say why he should not be
remanded ?—Prisoner replied that he had nothing to
say at present. He should reserve his defence until a
future day.
Mr. SECKER said he should remand him for a
week, which would give the officer au opportunity of
proceeding to Bristol to obtain evidence of the first
marriage.

He was accordingly remand--d for a week.

ALLEGED EXTENSIVE SYSTEM or ROBBERY.—Yes-
terday Joseph Hadley Riddell, a well-dressed man,
about 34 years of age, late confidential manager of
the extensive chemical and white lead works of Messrs.
Pontifex and Co., of Mill-wall, Poplar, was charged
with embezzling and stealing property to a large
amount belonging to his employers.
'I he charges were more of a general than of a
definite nature, and extended over a considerable
period. The prisoner had been in the employ of
Messrs. Pontifex for seen years, first at a salary of
5001. per annum, which, in consequence of the busi-
ness not turning out so profitable as was anticipated,
was afterwards reduced to 250/. It was alleged that
the prisoner bad long systematically defrauded his
employers by appropriating their materials, and em-
ploying their workmen in private business. No case
was made out at present against the prisoner to %ar-
rant his committal, but he was remanded for a week,
Mr. Yardley express-ing hie wil!ingnes to accept bail.

NAVAL JILA TELLIGEN CE.
PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 17.—The Hecate steam-sloop,
816 tons, 240 horse power, was put in special com-
mission this morning by electric orders from the
Admiralty, to carry dispatches to the Cape of Good
Hope. She was brought alongside the dockyard
jetty this morning by the steam reserve department,
and officers and men from the Excellent having been
draughted for her, she commenced provisioning and
storing at once, and is by this time nearly ready to
sail. Her dispatches are expected down by the mail
train this evening, and she will sail to-morrow-
The Terrible steam-frigate, Captain Ramsay,

bour to coal, and will then proceed to Woolwich to
be paid off.
The Arrogant steam-frigate, Captain Fitzroy,
returned to Spithead last night at seven o'clock, to
await sailing orders.

establishments were closed. All the churches and
chapels of the three towns of Plymouth, Devon-
port, and Stonehouse were thrown open, and ser-
mons were preached in the market place. Perhaps

WOOLWICH ROYAL DOCKYARD BATTALION.—
The whole of the companies of this d( ckyaid bri-
gade assembled in the dockyard, at two o'clock P.M.,
on Saturday; the artillery companies consisting or
9 sergeants, 9 corporals, and 287 men; the boat
brigade consisting of 8 sergeants, 8 corporals. and
200 men, under the command of Lieutenant-Colour;
Bellamy ; and the infantry companies consisting of
10 sergeants, 11 corporals, and 2G2 men, under the
command of Lieutenant-Colonel Lang; making a
total of 27 sergeants, 28 corporals, and 749 men.
They marched through the town headed by their
brass band until opposite the Royal Arsenal, where
the infantry companies were detached, and proceeded
to the butt fir practice with their small arms. The
artillery companies and the boat brigade held on to
the marshes for practice with shot ; the artillery
companies, with 6-pounder field battery guns, and
the boat brigade with 18-pounders, 24-pounders, and
32-pounders, mounted on ship carriages. The prac-
tice of the infantry companies was excellent, 10
rounds having been served to each man, one-half to
be fired at 60, and the other half at 100 yards' range.
The first company, consisting of forty-eight men,
fired 230 balls out of the 480 supplied to them into j
the sail-cloth of which the target was formed, 10 of
the balls entering the bull's-eye and the others into
the other circles and square of the target. Com-
modore Henry Eden, Colonel-Commandant of the
battalion, arrived at the butt to witness the practice,
and showed that he was a good marksman by taking
a gun from one of the men and sending the ball
through the target. The artillery companies prac-
tised with their 6-pounder guns at 600 yards' range,
and out of the 55 shot fired four entered the target,
and all the others passed near to it. The boat bri
gade fired at 950 yards' range, and out of the 36
r
rounds six entered the target, and the others
close to it that only three shots would have
frigate's pinnace, had they been directed inlss
against aned a
object of that dimensions.

On Friday Air. E. Al.

milirg. Sturmer, gunh-street, Isling-
ton, on Adelaide, the daughter of
~mith, West street, Is•li.r.g. tort, aged Deceased bad

formed an unfortunate Itat,on with a married man; her
family did all in their power, but in vain, to break off
t\hi connexion.. On Sundey night the man's wife visited
r. 's house, where sho saw deceased, with
whom she had very high words.. Soon afterwards de-
ceased escaped from her father's house through the
window. Until one o'clock thefotlowing morning she was
seen wandering about the neighbourhood in a state of
phrenzy. That day her bonnet was found On the banks
of the New River, near Northampton-street, and upon
further search
.her body was found close by in the river.
The body was in such a decomposed state that the sur-
geon with difficulty made a post modern examination,
when he detected in the stomach corrosive sublimate,
hich, in his opinion, was administered to cause abor-
tion, hut could not say whether there was a sufficient
quarrity to produce death.—Verdict, "Found drowned."
