E LIZA COOK'S JOURNAL,
A WEEKLY PERIODICAL,_

PRICE THREE-HALFPENCE,
CONTAINING
LITERARY MATTER of INFORMATION and AMUSEMENT.
The First Volume of ELIZA COOK'S JOURNAL is now com-
pleted, and the I•roprietor takes this opportunity of expre,sing her
sense of Ih honourable and coveted position which a generous Public
has placed her in.

Many difficulties beset the path of a young 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
future supply of sound and valuable matter.
The 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 and 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, kas been graciously received : for, though amusement is one
of the chief essentials, not only •f periodical literature, but of our
whole lives, it should ever be blended with a principle and purpose
tending to advance humanity.
From the cheering encouragement already received, the Editor
trusts fully to her friends for the future, and has equal pride and
pleasure in presenting her First Volume as a Journalist to those
whose generous perceptions stamped her first attempt as a Poet.

ANO'YELTY for the approaching season is in
preparation to which a distinguishing name has not yet been
given, but which the inventors, Messrs. NICOLL, can recommend
as one of the most useful, warm, comfortable, and graceful articles
of gentlemanly attire ever produced. Specimens can be seen at 114,
116, and 120, Regent street, and 22, Cornhill, as also THE TREBLE
Garment, or PALETOT, called THE NICOLL, which retains all the
characteristics of the famed Paletot (registered 6 and 7 Vic., cap. 65)
la its exterior, and has the additional advantages of being convertible
from a warm to a light Overcoat, or vice versa, at the pleasure of
tile wearer, or as the mild or cold nature of the weather may re-
quire. This garment must be seen and worn to be properly appre-
ciated ; it will be found, perhaps, the best preservative of health in
this variable climate. THE NICOLL has been secured by Royal
Letters Patent in ENGLAND. IRELAND, SCOTL IND, and the
COLONIES ; it can, therefore, only be purchased in the country, or
abroad, of Messrs. NICOLL'S (the patentees) recognised ./GENT.;,

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

The Right Hon. Sir Francis T. Baring, Bart., has
left the Admiralty for a short period.
APPOINTMENTS.

Captain Sir Henry Martin Blackwood, Bart.,
formerly commodore on the East India station, son
of the late gallant and distinguished Vice-Admiral
the Hon. Sir H. Blackwood, has been appointed to the
command of the Vengeance, 84, in the Mediterranean,
vice the Earl of Hardwicke, superseded at his own
request. The Vengeance will be in commission only
for a few months longer. Sir Henry has served afloat
for more than 20 years since his first entering the
navy, in 1814.
Captain Robert Smart, K.H. (1837), as we antici-

pated yesterday, has been appointed to commission
and command the indefatigable, 60, frigate, at Devon •
port. This gallant officer is one of the best officers
and sailors in the navy, his experience in all craft
having extended over a period of 23 years since his
entry into the service in October, 1810. A 3 a
master's mate he served in the Glasgow, at
Algiers ; obtained his lieutenant's commission Sep.'
tember, 1820 ; and as lieutenant of the Cambria,
was in the action at Navarino, and was subse-
quently wrecked in an attack on a nest of pirates
at Carabusa. He was made a commander April,
1828, and served in the Satellite three years ; and
since his elevation' to the rank of captain, has com-
manded the Impregnable, 104, and Howe, 120; and
has lately returned from serving as captain of the flag-
ship Collingwood, 80, in the Pacific. The following
other officers have been appointed to the Indefatigable :
Lieutenants--Edward Hardy, Hon. T. A. Paken-
ham, W. H. Phipps, and Joseph Edye. Master—
James Bodie. Second Master—Thomas S. Neill.

swain—William Elson. Carpenter—Joseph Pearson.
Commander Frederick Patten (1837), whose ap-

Devonport, for service on the coast of Africa we gave
yesterday, entered the navy in January, 1814, and
has served 25 years on. full-pay 'afloat and in the coast
guard. He was a lieutenant of 1822, and was pro-
moted from the command of the Rapid, 10, in South
America, and his last vessel was the Osprey, 12,
wrecked at New Zealand; at a place called False
Hokianga, which had never been surveyed. Com-
mander Patten has now another chance afforded him
of winning his promotion; for if he be deserving of
command he is also deserving of advancement.
The following are the officers appointed to the
Hound :—Lieutenants—George Durbin and E. H.
L. Ray. Acting Master—Thomas Pitt. Paymaster
and Purser—Charles E. Colman (just promoted).
Clerk—H. W. Parsons. Midshipmen—William J.

The Rolla, 6, Lieutenant-Commander Dolling,
apprentices' brig, has been dismantled at Portsmouth,
and laid up for the winter months.
The Seagull, 6, packet-brig, Lieutenant-Cora-
mender Small, was paid wages at Devonport, and' is
now ready to sail for Falmouth.
The Penguin, 6, packet-brig, Lieutenant-Com-
mander Leslie, has been taken out of dock, at Devon-
port, and the Hound, 8, has been taken in.
The Hecate, 6, steam •sloop, Commander Shadwell,
is at the buoy off the dockyard steps, all ready for
the reception of Sir H. L. Bul over, Lady Bulwer,and
suite, for whom she has been most tastefully tted,
and also provided with an additional number of
officers for war service. This vessel, a small one of
her class, would have a commander, two lieutenants,
and two mates, if she could get them—she has now a
commander, three lieutenants, and four mates. She
goes direct to the Chesapeake, calling at Bermuda.
The Cuckoo steamer, Commander Dumareici,
sailed yesterday afternoon for Guernsey. She went
down the Solent, and propably remained in Yarmotith
Roads for the night.
The Fairy and Elfin, yacht tenders, were looked
for at Portsmouth yesterday, but they have no donbt
put into some port for shelter, as it would be foolish
to risk their gingerbread work against the strong west
wind there is now blowing.
The Sir George Pollock, Captain Withers, with
the Bishop of Victoria and suite on board, has also
been detained by the west wind and bad weather.
She will not sail till the wind moderates.

PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 7'.—The Superb, 80, Captain
Purcell, at Queenstown, we learn by a letter from
that station, is ordered to fill up her complement from
500 to 750 men. The ship lay at Spithead about
three quarters of a year, with barely enough hands on
board to take care of her on a squally day, and only
half enough to man the guns on board had she been
" wanted." During this time of inaction ships by the
1111 f-dozen were on the home station stripping, paying-
off, and throwing their crews upon the several
parishes ; and this even after the number of seamen
allowed upon the estimates was short some thousands.
What has been the result ? That when men were
wanted they could not be found; and even a 12. Tun
brig, the most tempting craft in the navy for seamen,
could not get men to enter for her. Steamers and
tenders are then sent to the mercantile ports and along
the coast to tout for sailors, but with what success is
too apparent to need mention. The Leander, 50, a
new dashing first class frigate, with a popular
captain, is next put in commission, but she could not
get manned without entering some of the off•scourings
from some of the other ports, and has made up her
complement with the greatest trouble and difficulty,
and the indefatigable personal attention of Captain
Dacres.

The Leander, 40, Capt. Dacres, left her moorings
at 138 P.m. to day,and worked out of harbour in first-
rate style under double reefed topsails, spanker, and
jib. On leaving the harbour she let fall her courses,
and saluted the Commander-in-Chief on passing the
King's Rooms. On rounding the Spit, the wind
being south-west by west, very fresh, she was obliged
to make a third tack to come up to the anchorage ;
she then shortened sail very smartly, and anchored at
240 P.M. She steers and stays remarkably well and
easy. Her draught of water, on leaving her moor •
!rigs, was 19ft. 9in. forward, and 21ft. Sin. aft. She
is a ship that any country ouglit to be proud of.
When ready for sea, it is reported the Lords of the
Adrhiralty, or some of the Board, will inspect her.
The Serpent, 12, Commander Barker, is ordered to
remain at St. Helen's during the prevalence of the
rough weather. She shipped her Post-office mail for
the Brazils on Sunday.
Commanda Patten, who was tried in this harbour
two or three years since for the loss of his vess.l (the
Osprey, new 12-gun sloop) at New Zealand, it is re•
ported, is to command the Hound, new 10-gun brig,
at Devonport.
Wind S.W. by W., strong breezct and cloudy
weather.
ADMIRAL-SUPERINTENDENT OF THE DEVONPORT
D9CRTARD.
PLYMOUTH, Nov. 6.—lt is understood that Ad-
miral-Superintendent Sir John Louis will resign the
duties of the Devonport Dockyard on Saturday next,
November 10, and that he will be succeeded by Capt.
Lord John Hay, at present one of the Lords Commis-
sioners of the Admiralty. This gallant officer ob-
tained his commission as lieutenant April 1, 1812,
wad made commander June 15, 1814, and obtained
his present rank December 7, 1818. Lord John Hay
represents the borough of Windsor in the House of
Commons.

Her Majesty's steam-vessel Sheerwater, having been
on shore, was placed in the North Dock on Friday,
had her repairs made good, and was taken out on
Saturday.
Her Majesty's packet brig Penguin was on Satur-
day put into dock to have her copper examined and
repaired, and was taken out on Monday.
her Majesty's steam. vessel Firebrand sailed on
Thursday with marine artillery and seamen for the
squadron in the Mediterranean.
Her Majesty's brig Hound is ordered to be pre-
pared for commission. She is now rigging by the
riggers of the yard.
Mr. Joseph Mitchell, aged 63, shipwright, died
suddenly on Monday, while on duty in the yard.
The Leda hulk, stationed off Mutton Cove for
convalescent persons during the prevalence of cholera
in Devonport, was on Thursday towed by the Confi-
ance steam-vessel to her moorings in Hamoaze.
Wind west, fresh breeze, with rain.
WOOLWICH, Nov. 7.—The Vulture steam-vessel
left Woolwich several weeks ago for Sheerness, and
is now ordered to proceed to Portsmouth. Mr.
Taplin, second assistant to the chief engineer at

Woolwich Dockyard, proceeded to Sheerness to-day
for the purpose of being present on board the Vulture
to-morrow, when her engines and speed are to be tried
in several runs from the Nore to the Mouse Light,
a distance of about eight miles ; and, if her engines
and speed prove satisfactory, she will at once proceed
round for Portsmouth, where she will remain ready
for commission on the shortest notice.

The Styx steam-sloop is under orders to leave
Woolwich to-morrow morning at daylight, under the
charge of Lieutenant Robertson. Mr. Trickett,
assistant to the chief engineer at this yard, will pro-
ceed in her to test her speed in several runs betwixt
the Nore and Mouse Light, and if the trial be satis-
factory, Lieutenant Robertson, with a number of
riggers, will navigate her to Devonport, to remain
there as an advanced war-steamer ready for corn-
mission.

The Enterprise, Captain Sir James Clarke Ross,
and the Investigator, Captain E. J. Bird, had not
arrived at Woolwich at six o'clock, p.m. A great
number of persons called at the dockyard to-day,
anxious to know if they had arrived.

COURT OF COMIIION COUNCIL.
Yesterday a Court was held for the dispatch of
public business:
The LORD MAYOR laid before the Court the answer
of Prince Albert to the address of the Court at the
opening of the new Coal Exchange.
Upon the motion of Mr. John WOOD; the commu-
nication was ordered to be entered on the jonrnals.
THE 'POLICE OF THE CITY.
Alderman LAWRENCE brought up a report from
the Police Committee. It stated that the committee
felt no small satisfaction in calling the [attention of
the Court to the gratifying circumstance that they
could recommend a further reduction of the rate for
the purpose of the police, to be levied upon the in-
habitants of the City, and that they were assured that,
with the assistance of a proportion of the balance of
the funds in the hands of the Chamber/sin, a sufficient
amount for the payment of the expense of the estab-
lishment might be realised by a rate of not more
than sixpence in the pound, being a reduction of two •
pence in the pound, or 25 per cent., since the Act
came into operation at Christmas, 1831 The report
further stated, that the circumstance was rendered
more gratifying when it was remembered that the
reduction of the rate was not consequent upon any
diminution of the numerical strength of the police,
with the corresponding loss of security to person
and property, but that, on the contrary, the force
had been augmented since its establishment from
500 to 567. It concluded with expressions of appro-
bation of the manner in which the establishment was
regulated and conducted.
The announcement of the reduction of the rate
was received with strong marks of approval, and
ordered to be printed in the minutes of the Court,
and a rate was directed to be levied accordingly.
IRISH ESTATES.
Mr. ANDERTON begged to be informed whether
the Court might shortly expect a report on the sub-
ject of the Irish Estates Bill? He was induced to
ask for information upon the subject, in consequence
of the deep interest felt out of doors upon it.
The LORD MAYOR said the question had been put
to him at various times in different ways, and he bad
intimated to those who had expressed anxiety upon
the subject, that there were certain matters to be ar-
ranged with the Government before the committee
could make any movement. He could only repeat
that answer at the present moment.
Mr. ANDEETON said he understood that nothing
had been done in the matter.
The LORD MAYOR—Nothing at all.-
Mr. R. TAYLOR said the subject had been alluded
to in the Irish and English newspapers, and in a man-
ner not at all complimentary to the Corporation of
London. It had been said that the London companies
were concerned. Now he was one of those who never
contemplated such a thing as a connexion between
the Corporation and the London companies in the
purchase
ropofolsaintidon of the kind.inlreland, and he never had beard
of
The LORD MAYOR repeated that the committee
could not properly act until the allotment to which
he alluded should take place.

THE CONSERTANCY OF THE THAMES.
Mr. Jowl WOOD brought up a report from the
Consolidated Committee, on the subject of a report
recommending the Court to open an official negotia-
tion with her Majesty's Government for an arrange-
ment of all matters connected with the regulation of
the River Thames. It certified that the committee
had had several conferences with members of her Ma-
jesty's Government upon that important subject, and
had hoped during the last session of Parliament
to have come to a satisfactory arrangement—that
they were still making every effort to accomplish that
desirable object—that they recommended that they
should be empowered to give the necessary notices
of an application to Parliament in the next session of
a Conservancy Bill, in order that the Court might
be in a position to carry out any arrangement which
might be made with her Majesty's Government,
or to take such other course upon that important
subject as might be deemed advisable.
The report was agreed to.
IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CITY.

The following report from the Coal, Corn, and
Finance Committee was also unanimously, and with-
out any discussion, agreed to :
" We, whose names are hereunto subscribed of your
committee, to whom it was referred, on the 13th
July, 1848, to negotiate for a loan of the sum of
80,0001. for building a new prison at Holloway ; and
to them on the 16th October last it was referred to
consider and report the most advisable plan for raising
the necessary funds for completing the new street
from Cannon-street to St. Paul's Churchyard, do
certify that, on the 21st October, 1847, your com-
mittee reported that the sum of 20,0001., set aside
annually for the formation of a City Improvement
Fund, by order of your Court, 25th September, 1845,
would place at your disposal for further improve.
ments a sum not exceeding 200,0001., in addition to
the sutn of 300,0001 already charged on that fund ;
and your Court having, on the 29th of October, 1847,
agreed to the report of your committee, it only remains
for your committee to report on this occasion that
they see no reason to make any recommendation
otherwise than that contained in their said report of
the 21st October, 1847, and which met with the
approbation of your Court. We are, therefore, of
opinion that the Remembrancer should be instructed
to insert in the Bill for the completion of the
improvements referred to, similar clauses with
reference to the raising of the necessary
funds to those contained in the London (City)
Improvement Act of 1847, and that he should
give the necessary notices accordingly. That with
reference to raising the sum of 80,0001. for the new
prison, and 20,0001., the sum which your Court has
authorised to be expended in improving Billinsgate
Market and the avenues thereto adjoining, we beg to
report that we have been attended by Mr. Scott, clerk
to the Chamberlain, who in pursuance of our instruc-
tion had made inquiries as to raising those amounts,
and he reported to us that without the usual Parlia-

mentary Powers, contained in the several Improvement
Acts, it would be difficult, notwithstanding the exist-
ing abundance of money, to obtain a loan upon
reasonable terms, but that he entertained no doubt
whatever that with such Parliamentary sanction and
powers tke money would be raised very advantageously,
and we, considering that both the purposes referred
to, namely, the removal of the House of Correction
and the enlargement of the market at Billingsgate,
are both of them inseparably connected with improve-
ments, we are of opinion that Parliament would allow
the insertion of the requisite power for raising the
funds, in a general improvement Act ; and we recom-
mend that the Remembrancer should be instructed
accordingly. Should it happen, however, that the
orders and regulations of Parliament preclude the
insertion of the powers in a general Act, we are of
opinion that it would not be expedient to apply for a
separate Act for that purpose.
A long discussion took place upon a report brought
up by Mr. Blake, the Chairman of the Bridge-house
Committee, recommending that Alderman Humphrey
should be permitted to make certain deviations from
his contract for building at Haye's Wharf, Southwark.
It stated that Alderman Humphery explained the
value and extent of the alterations proposed to be
made by him, and stated that, (from the alteration
which had taken place in the trade of the port of
London since he entered into his contract, the exten-

sive warehouses which he was thereby required to
erect would be &most valueless, in consequence of
the limited extent of river frontage, which was at
present t)&37 130 feet, whereas, by the construction of
a wet dock, as shown upon the plan laid before your
Court, a water frontage of 550 feet would be secured,
whereby not only his interest, as tenant of the

property, but the reversionary interest of the com-
mittee, as the freeholders, would be greatly increased
in value. The report concluded with recommending
that Alderman liumphery should be permitted to
deviate from the contract entered into by him on the
sth of October, 1846, by constructing a wet dock and
erecting warehouses agreeably to the plans laid before
the Court, and that Alderman Humphery be re-
quired to enter into and execute a proper contract or
other instrument, for carrying the arrangement into
effect.

The COURT agreed to the report, and referred it

back to the committee, with directions to them to take
such security of the performance of the contract as
they should think meet.

THE lIIINGARIAN REFUGEES.
Mr. RICHARD TAYLOR having been called upon to
present the petition of Lord Dudley Coutts Stuart,
M.P., and others, for the use of the Guildhall on some
day after the 9th of November next, for the purpose
of a ball for the relief of the Hungarian refugees, rose
and addressed the Court. When notice had been
given of the intention to apply for the use of the hall,
for the benefit of the Hungarians, it was well known
that the sympathies of the citizens of London and
the public were so excited in favour of such claimants
213 to cause an ardent determination to come forward
in support of their cause, and he entertained no doubt
as to the readiness with which the object the peti-
tioners had in view would be accomplished if they
persevered.—(Hear.) It was foreign to the feelings of
the Hungarians, however, while they were losing,
week after week, and day after day, by legal mur-
ders, their friends and relations, to seek relief by
means of a ball or other entertainment. It was
therefore his intention not to present the petition of
which he had given notice, and which he was
prepared to advocate by facts and descriptions of
the most convincing nature. He was quite sure
the Court would, when called upon at a future time
to exercise its benevolence towards the unfortunate
Hungarians, answer to the appeal in the spirit by
which it had been always influenced for the protection
of the oppressed. The more the sufferings ;of the
Hungarians were known, the more active would, in
fact, be the sympathy ; and when the proper time
should arrive he should not fear to make the ne-
nessary appeal to the humanity of the Court and
his fellow-citizens. Mr. Taylor then withdrew the
notice.

OPENING OF THE COAL EXCHANGE.
Mr. JOHN WOOD brought up the following re.
port:—

`• We, whose names are hereunto subscribed, of
your Coal and Corn and Finance Committee, to whom,
on the 16th day of October last, it was referred to take
necessary steps for the reception and accommodationdhe
of her Majesty and suite, upon the occasion of open-
ing the New Coal Exchange, and who, on the 29th
ultimo, upon the recommendation in our report,
That in the event of her Majesty's absence, his Royal
Highness Prince Albert should be received with all
the honours due to his exalted station,' were autho-
rised to proceed with the arrangements for the re-
ception of her Majesty, do certify that the whole of
the arrangements were completed for the reception
and accommodation of the Queen and her suite ; but
the state of her Majesty's health did not permit of
her Majesty carrying her gracious intentions into
effect.

" The Corporation, however, were honoured with
the presence of his Royal Highness Prince Albert in
behalf of the Queen, accompanied by their Royal
Ilighnesses the Prince of Wales and the Princess
Royal, as also with the presence of his Royal High-
ness the Duke of Cambridge, and many other exalted
and distinguished personages ; and although your
committee deeply regretted the absence of her Moet
Gracious Majesty, they cannot help congratulating
this Hon. Court upon the pleasurable circumstance of
which the citizens of London may well be proud,
that the visit of the Royal Children to the City upon
the occasion of opening the new Coal Exchange was
their first visit to a public ceremonial. Your com-
mittee have the high satisfaction to state that his
Royal Highness Prince Albert, in taking leave, ex-
pressed to the Lord Mayor and to the chairman of
your committee, his gratification at the manner in
which the whole of the proceedings had been con-
ducted.

" Whilst your lion. Court record their sense of the
favour her Majesty conferred upon the citizens of
London in deputing his Royal Highness Prince
Albert to represent her Majesty on the interesting
occasion, and in permitting the Royal Children to be
present, we are confident your Hon. Court will feel
that her Majesty has also conferred a high distinction
upon the citizens of London in bestowing upon the
chief magistrate the honour of a baronetcy.
" 'We cannot allow this opportunity to pass without
expresiiing our obligations to the officers who aided us
in our labours, and especially to Mr. Bunning, the
City Architect, for the assiduity and skill he evinced
upon the occasion.

" Your Committee beg further to certify, that a
detailed report of our proceedings will be presented
to your Hon. Court as soon as practicable; but in the
mean time we recommend that we should he em-
powered to procure a suitable medal to commemorate
the interesting event, and that a copy thereof should
be sent to every member of this Court."
The report was agreed to, and referred back to the
Committee to be carried into effect.
We were given to understand (strangers having
been excluded) that the Lord Mayor took leave of
the Court, at the termination of the day's business,
amidst loud applause.

THE BERMONDSEY MURDER.
' All doubt as to the fate of the Mannings has at last
been set at rest by the following document, which was
received yesterday by Mr. Keene, the Governor of
Horsemonger-lane Gaol :
" Surrey to Wit,—Francis William Gamul Palmer,
Esq., sheriff of the county aforesaid, to Thomas
Keene, keeper of her Majesty's gaol at Horsemonger-
lane, in and for the county aforesaid.—Whereas, at
the general sessions of the delivery of the gaol of our
Lady the Queen of Newgate, holden for the jurisdic-
tion of the Central Criminal Court, at Justice-hall. in
the Old Bailey, in the suburbs of the city of London,
by adjournment, on Friday, the 26th day of October,
1849, before Sir Frederick Pollock, Knight, Lord
Chief Baron of the Court of our Lady the Queen of
Exchequer, Sir W. H. Maule, Knight, and Sir Cress-
well Cresswell, Knight, two of the Justices of our
said Lady the Queen, and Justices of her Court of
Common Pleas, the Hon. Charles Ewan Law, one of
the counsel of our said Lady the Queen, learned in
the law, Recorder of the City of London, and others,
their fellow-justices of our said Lady the Queen,
assigned to deliver the •aid gaol of Newgate of the
prisoners therein being, Frederick George Man-
ning and Maria Manning, his wife, were attainted
of the wilful murder of Patrick O'Connor, for which
the said Frederick George Manning and Maria Man-
ning, his wife, stand condemned to be severall hanged
by the necks until they be severally dead. These
are therefore, in the Queen's name, strictly to charge
and command you, all excuses and pretences what-
soever being set apart, that you fail not, but on
Tuesday next, the 13th day of November instant,
between the hours of eight of the clock in the fore-
noon and two of the clock in the afternoon of the
same day, you cause to be hanged by the neck until
they severally be dead the said Frederick George
Manning and Maria Manning, his wife, at the place
appointed and used for that purpose, and their bodies
when dead you cause to be buried within the precincts
of the said prison ; and for your so doing this shall be
your sufficient warrant and authority.
" Given under the seal of my office, this id day of
November, in the year of our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and forty-nine.
" By the same Sheriff."
THE CONDEMNED MURDERESS.
Shortly after the decision of the judges was known
as to the reserved point, information was forwarded .to
the governor and chaplain of Horsemonger-lane Gaol,
so that Maria Manning might be made acquainted
with the fact, as she has since her condemnation con-
fidently relied on being successful, which has mate-
rially buoyed up her spirits. These functionaries
accordingly had an interview with her in her cell, and
the Rev. Chaplain informed her that she must prepare
herself to meet her Maker, as the sentence pronounced
upon her by the judge at her trial would be carried
into effect on Tuesday morning next. She teemed
extremely surprised at the announcement, and ex-
claimed that she had been unjustly tried and convicted,
which her unfeeling husband could prove. He could
unravel the whole of the circumstances relative to the
murder, and if he told the truth it would exculpate
her from any participation in the dreadful crime. She
seemed rather excited at first, but afterwards put her
hands to her face and cried bitterly. The chaplain
exhorted her to employ the few remaining hours she
had to live in prayer and repentance, and implored
her to make a full confession of the crime for which
she is convicted. She asserted that she was not the
party who committed the murder, and she had nothing
to confess. It is, however, believed that now she finds
that there is no hope for her, she will make some I
extraordinary statement before her execution, and
that she will have an interview with her husband.
The latter has several times expressed his anxiety to
see her, which has been communicated to her. He
continues in a very depressed state, eating hardly
anything, although everything he wishes for con-
sistent with the regulations of the gaol is afforded
him. He occupies all his time in reading religious
works and writing.

WEST LONDON ANTI-ENCLOSURE SOCIETY.—At
he last meeting, sth instant, at the Literary Instituti. n,
Carlisle-street, Edgeware-road, Mr. G. Wiggall in the
chair, a most stormy discussion ensued respecting the
attempted division of the society by two members. So
determined were such members that the society should
not leave Ellis's Rooms, that as a last and only means of
regaining even a part of its library deposited there, the
secretary, who is also the founder of the society, was
compelled, against bis will, and the expressed desire of
Earl Stanhope and other absent members, to propose a
division of the property, reserving to himself the privi-
lege of not acting with the minority who had compelled
him to such a course; hence the re-appearance of the
society in Marylebone, where the majority desire to see
the remaindereof their property. The secretary declared
that this attempt to form a St. Pancras branch was
nothing less than an attempt to wring from him one-
half of the property he had accumulated for his little
society, and ehich was the result of most unwearied toil
both day and night. The members in question contended
the contrary; but as Mr. Griffiths denied the legality of
the resolution be was compelled to propose against bis
will, it was agreed that a special meeting of members
should be convened at Mr. Ellis's Rooms, 8, George-
street, Euston-square, the ensuing Monday, after seven,
when the question is to be decided by a show of hands.
This attempt to form a branch against the will of the
founder, and Earl Stanhope and the majority of the
members, has excited great suspicion. Should the at-
tempt succeed, a new Anti-Enclosure Society will, in all
probality, be the result.
A FAMILY FIRE EsearE.—ln order to prevent
(says a correspondent of the Builder) the awful sacrifice
of life which so frequently occurs from fire, it seems de-
sirable that Government should offer a handsome re-
wurd to the inventor or a fire-escape, which, by the sim-
plicity of its machinery, and the lowness of its price,
would be available for all classes. I mean an appat atus
that every family could possess. If, however, the Go-
vernment decline encouraging so laudable an object, I am
sure the public would respond to any call that might to
made upon them, to testify their gratitude for ingenuity
so applied, and I would therefore suggest that mechanics
should (if only on the ground of humanity), direct their
best attention to this subject, and do their utmost to pro-
duce an apparatus which should be among the "lions" of
the proposed national exhibitien of 1851.
THE IVEerness.— Since our last we have had a
great change in the weather—indeed, the true com-
mencement of winter. It was ushered in, as is not
unusual, by a thick fog, which hung over tho town the
whole of Saturday. Sunday was cloudy and wet;
the night was windy, with a slight fall of sleet
towards Monday morning. On Monday there were
showers of rain and hail, at short intervals, all day, and
the night was stormy. On Tuesday morning there was a
copious fall of snow; and more fell at intervals, occa-
sionally mingled with rain and sleet, during the whole
day. Of' course the temperature became much lower; the
thermometer which on Friday ranged between 56 dog.
and 44 deg. Fahrenheit, on Saturday was between 52
deg. and 39 deg., and on Monday, not higher than 50
deg., while it dropped to 37 deg. On Monday, nearly
eight-tenths of an inch of rain fell. We see by the
telegraphic returns, on Tuesday morning, that frost had
been experienced only at Glasgow, Edinburgh, and
Newcastle, while at the southern ports, and in other
parts of the kingdom, the weather was very fine :
G 1 tsgow, west, frost; Edinburgh, west, frost; Newcastle,
S.W., frost; Normanton, west, cloudy; Hull, S.W.,
cloudy; Bradford, west, cloudy; Skipton, S.E., cloudy;
Leeds, S.E. cloudy; York, S.W. very fine; Brandon, S.
cloudy; Dereham, S. cloudy; Gosport, S.W. fine; Ports-
mouth, W. fine; Southampton, W. fine; Cambridge,
S. flue; St. Ives, S.E. fine; Birmingham, S. fine ;
Derby, south, fine; Leicester, south, very fine; Lincoln,
S.W. very fine; Nottingham, south, very fine; Rother-
ham, S.E. very fine; Chesterfield, south, very fine;
London, south, very fine.—Manchester Guardian.
THE NATIONAL SOClETY.—Yesterday a private
meeting of the committee of the National Society was
held at the central school-rooms, Broad sanctuary, for
the purpose of taking into consideration a communica-
tion received by the Committee of Council on Educa-
tion. The meeting was numerously attended by bishops,
noblem. n, and members of Parliament interested in the
question. The Earl of Harrowby filled the chair in the
absence of the two archbishops, and the Rev. J. G.
Lonsdale, secretary to the society, read the communica-
tion from the Committee of Council ou account of which
the meeting had been convened. It explained at some
length the operation of the law and the views of their
Lordahirs on the terms of trust deeds in certain proposed
cases, as where the managers of schools are required to
be communicants of the Church of England, where a
bishop or arbitrators were empowered to declare a
teacher unfit for his office, or where a committee of ma-
nagement, in violation of the terms of the trust deed,
neglect or refuse to dismiss a teacher in pursuance of the
decision of the bishop or the award of the arbitrators.
The document further conveyed the expression of their
Lordships' disinclination to admit of any further modi-
fications than those already conceded on the subject of
an appeal on questions not relating to religious instruc-
tion. A lengthened discussion took place with reference
to this communication, in which the Bishops of Oxford,
Salisbury, and Bangor, the Earl of Harrowby, Arch-
deacon Sinclair, Mr. G. C. Talbot, M.P., Mr. Colqu-
houn, and others, joined. At the close of the proceedings,
which lasted nearly four hours, a committee was ap-
pointed to draw up a letter to the Committee of Council
on the subject which had been under consideration.
A DOUBLE ELOPEMENT.—A farm servant in the
neighbourhood of Castle Douglas had been paying his
addresses to the daughter of a small farmer in the same
district, and last week succeeded in persuading her to
elope with him. Ire was not satisfied, however, with a
portionless lass, and acting under his advice, she took
with her 15/. of her father's money, and a chest filled
with clothes, blankets, cheese, butter, and various other
articles. The couple reached Dumfries on Wednesday,
and remained till Thurday morning at an inn, with the
intention of proceeding to Manchester, where the de-
ceiver proposed having the marriage ceremony per-
formed. He had led the credulous girl to believe that
he had saved a large sum of money which was lodged
in a bank here, and he went out in the morning saying
he was about to draw a portion of it. After waiting in
vain some time for his return, the suspicions of the de-
serted
fair one were aroused, and she soon discovered
that her scoundrel lover had eloped by railway for Glas-
gow, leaving her, but taking both money and chest with
him. Werra ition wai given forthwith to the police
and a Stewartry officer dispatched to the metropolis of
the west, who succeeded in eppri bending the fugitive
from love and law on board of a steamer bound for Lon-
donderry. We have not heard what„has become of the
dupe, but we hope she has returned in sorrow and re-
pentence to her father's root, resolved in future to turn a
deaf ear to those wooers who think more of the lecher
than the daughter.—Dunifries Courier.

LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.-With
the commencement of the month a new and important
system of acceleration was efftoied in all the mail trains
on this line, and by which an hour is gained to passengers
and correspondence at all the principal termini, such as
Liverpool, Manchester, Holyhead, Dublin, Edinburgh,
Glasgow, and other places. The speed on some portions
of the line is at express pace, and the average increase
in the rate of speed is about five miles per hour. This
improvement is the result of an arrangement just come

THE MAID OF ORLEANS.'
By the Author of
" Whitefriars," " Owen Tudor," &c.
" A romance rarely equalled In our day for vigour, brilliancy, pa-
thos, and dignity of style. It is a work of surpassing interest,o-
i
which a peat sgbject is handled with a vigorous appreciation of non
tives and character, a facile and graceful power of description, and
that rare perspicuous command over the ideal of an intricate plot,
and numerous array of characters, which bespeak the possession of
the I•lgher attributes of the romancist. The glories and the wrongs
of the heroic maid have never fount a chronicler more worthy of
commemorating them than the gifted author of the work now before
as." —Weekly Chronicle.
