ger's gains exceed 10,0001.
A new comedy, by Buckstone, in three acts, to be

DEATH OF ANDREW CLEPHANE, ESQ.—We
regret to announce the sudden demise of this excellent indivi-
dual. He had been complaining for some time, but considered
himself better, and was walking in his garden at Kirkness, on
Friday, when he dropped down and almost instantly expired.
Mr. Clephane has filled the office of Sheriff of Fife for a num-
ber of years, and was much respected. The public owe him a
debt of gratitude for his exertions to improve the ferry commu-
nication between Fife and Mid- Lothian.—Edinburgh Courant.
Steam navigation has been brought to such perfec-
tion that a person may go at mid-day from London-bridge to
Westminster by Starlight, and he may now return at midnight
by Daylight, or he may have his choice of doing it by Moon-
light or Twilight, there being four steam-boat omnibuses called
by these delightful names.
Des. BOWRING.—Last Wednesday the friends and
admirers of Dr. Bowring, to the number of nearly one hundred,
availing themselves of the circumstance of his passing through
Edinburgh, entertained him at a public banquet in the Water-
loo Hotel there--the Hon. James Erskine Murray, of Aber.
dons, in the chair, supported on the right by Dr. Bowring,
W. Tait, Esq., bookseller, Mr. Alderman Whyte, of London,
&c. ; and on the left by Mustapha Edhem Bey, General of
Engineers in the army of the Viceroy of Egypt (a person who,
from his high station and peculiar personal appearance, excited
a good deal of interest in the meeting), the Hon. Dundas
Murray, Larking, Esq., Thomas Ireland, Esq., &c. The
croupiers were J. H. Burton and Alexander Macauley, Esqrs.
Several ladies were also present.
ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.—The managers of
this popular theatre have done themselves great credit by an-
nouncincr a very attractive selection of performances for the
benefit of Mr. Barnes, the celebrated pantaloon, to take place
on Wednesday next. Poor Barnes will upon that occasion
make his last appearance in public. As the benefit is intended
for the relief of his severe distress, we have little doubt but it
will be found to answer its object. It is not under such cir-
cumstances that the people of this metropolis are likely to for-
get the claims of an old servant, who at the close of a laborious
life, devoted to their amusement, is reduced by misfortune to
solicit for the last time their patronage and protection. All
the members of the profession have shown the utmost readi-
ness and anxiety to contribute to his benefit by their talents in
various departments. The bills will show that, considered as
a mere performance, the announcement is well calculated to
attract ; and when to this we add the cause which has put so
strong a dramatic force into action—the distress of an old re-
tiring favourite, we shall have communicated an a iditional im-
pulse in the feeling of benevolence which, far from impairing,
will exhilirate the enjoyment of the scene.

THE NEW NOVELS, &c.—The following new
novels and romances are just published by Mr. Bentley, New
Burlington-street, and may now be had of all Booksellers and

ABSTRACTION OF MILITARY STORES FROM
LEITH FORT.—This is a somewhat remarkable case, and not
unlike ore, connected with naval stores, which occurred at
Leith a number of years ago. The chief inspector of the.
stores at Leith Fort is Mr. Gibbs, who resides at the fort, and
is a member of the Leith Town-council. Under him was a
man named Shanks, who had the immediate care of the stores.
Shanks had two daughters of indifferent reputation. Some
months ago, oh an ordnance vessel arriving at Leith to take
stores to England, it was discovered that about 30,000 carbine
balls (upwards of a ton) had been taken out of their cases, and
the empty cases artfully concealed beneath the full ones.
Farther discoveries ensued, and from another store between
100 and 200 pairs of militia trousers, which had come from
Stirling Castle, were missed, and a number of saddles. Sus-
picion attached to Shanks ; he was apprehended, examined,
and, after being in confinement, released on the authorities not
being able to establish his guilt. Suspicion also attached to

Concerning the saddles, several were sold to a person who
sailed for America some time ago, and on information of
this being given, the day after the vessel sailed, a sheriff's
officer way despatched for the puipose of boarding her, as
she passed the Pentland Firth, but on the officer's arriving
there the vessel was out of reach far into the ocean.—Glasgow
Journal.

a large party of friends at Dunrobin Castle, in Sutherland-
shire. The Earl and Countess of Grosvenor, Lord and Lady

The Marquis and Marchioness of Westminster
return to Grosvenor House to-day, and on Wednesday leave
for Moor Park, where they intend to pass another week, and
then pay a final visit to town ere their departure for Eaton
Hall, in Cheshire.
We are exceedingly sorry to learn that the Mar-
chioness of Londonderry was seized with a violent inflamma-
tory sore throat and fever in proceeding from Tottenham Park
to Wynyard, and was delayed three days at Manchester, where
Drs. Marshall and Ainsworth attended her Ladyship. She has
since been removed to the family mansion at Wynyard Park,
where, we lament extremely to state, her Ladyship still re-
mains suffering under the most painful illness, which has
caused general regret in the neighbourhood.
The Earl of Devon is entertaining company at Povv-
derliam Castle, Devon. Lord and Lady Courtenay, who have
been visiting► the family estates in the north of Ireland, will
shortly join his Lordship at the Castle.
The Dowager Countess of Clare, accompanied by
Lady Isabella Fitzgibbon, has left town for Brighton, where
her Ladyship has taken Montpellier Lodge for a few months.
The Earl of Clare is in Scotland, visiting several of the nobi-
lity, but will visit Mount Shannon, his seat, near Limerick,

College, in the room of the late Dr. Jones, took place at an
early hour this morning, and the choice fell on the Rev.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

CONDUCT OF THE WORKING

CLASSES.

In the first place, admitting all that can be said in favour of
Universal Suffrage, as the best basis of government, to be
true, years must elapse before it can be brought about, and in
the meantime we must have some kind of Government and
Legislation, good, bad, or indifferent, to keep society a-going.
When a man is sick he takes medicine to cure him, but he at
the same time takes some nourishment to keep soul and body
together. So, in the body corporate of the State, it is abso-
lutely necessary that those whose high views are fixed on a
perfect model of Government should, in the meanwhile, do
what they can to get as much good out of our existing,im-
perfect institutions as may keep us from growing worse. \%e
have read of a father who devoted his exclusive attention to
the invention of a perfect system of education for his children
so long that he allowed them to grow up rogues and --. Is
there no danger, while our politicians refuse to make use of
our make-shift institutions, because they could devise more
perfect ones, that they who have the power way go on mis-
governing us into beggary and demoralisation ? Are the men
of Aberdeen resolved, like petted children, to starve themselves
if they do not get all they want a 4 the first asking ?
In the second place, public opinon can do much to check
misgovernment, and force on good Legislation, even with our
present imperfect institutions. Public opinion would work
more freely and safely had every man a vote ; but public opi-
nion is powerful even at present. Much praise is claimed for
Ministers on the score of their experiment in the way of na-
tional education in Ireland, and their throwing open the In-
dian trade. They had the sense to do these things, and let
them have credit for it; but the Irish educational scheme
they found cut and dry in the desks of their predecessors ; and
the trade to India must have been thrown open even had the
boroughmongers remained in power. Even without the par-
tial reform we have obtained, such power had public opinion.
In the total emancipation of the negro, we have another ex-
ample of what united public opinion can force from a
reluctant Government and time-serving Legislature. There
are many points of special legislation upon which pub-
lic opinoin may at this moment be concentrated and ex-
presed with effect ; and among these, one of the most promi-
nent is that on which Mr. Duncan calls the public to be silent
—the Corn-laws. These laws are an evil, too, so urgent—so
destructive—that, if we are to wait for their repeal until Uni-
versal Suffrage is brought about, the country may be ruined in
the interim.

In the third place, the agitation of special grievances instead
of weakening, will strengthen the feeling in favour of an exten-
sion of the suffrage. Every additional proof of misgovernment
—every additional proof of the difficulty of obtaining redress—
will bring fresh recruits to the cause of a radical change in our
institutions. It would almost seem from Mr. Duncan's
anxiety, that he feared, were the Corn-laws repealed, he would
lose his only handle against existing institutions. Were the
Corn-laws repealed to-morrow, we could bring forward a round
dozen of grievances, at a moment's warning, almost as de-
r m int. We do net think quite so favourably of the working of
the present system as Mr. Duncan seems to do. While on
this head we may remark, that keen politicians are ap-
to err, from assuming that every body knows as much, and
feels as keenly and continuously, as themselves, They forget
the necessity of keeping constantly in the public view, the full
extent of practical grievances and their necessary connection
with bad forms of Government. It is not enough that a
people's rights and their denial be held out to them. To stir
the really efficient body of the people to action, the conse-
quence of withholding these rights must again and again be
branded on their souls. This can only be done by agitating
specific grievances. We do not ask the men assembled at
at Aberdeen to form Anti-Corn-law Associations, but we
ask them to bawl out lustily against the Corn-laws. They
can do this without interrupting their exertions for the other
objects they have in view ; and, by doing this, they will
strengthen instead of weakening their cause.— Glasgow Argus.
