LITERATURE.

OUTLINES OF ENGLISH LITERATURE.
By Thomas B. Shaw, B.A.
As Professor of English Literature in the Imperial
Alexander Lyceum of St. Petersburgh, the attention
of this learned and accomplished author has very
naturally been directed to the whole scope
of that superb subject, of which he has
here given us an outline. And although the
volume is comprised in not more than 540
octavo pages, treating of English literature from the
period of its dawn, in the ancient ecclesiastical chro-
nicles, down to the time of our contemporaries, the
treatment of the different writers who have acquired
anything like celebrity or distinction is very seldom
of a superficial character. As an appropriate in-
troduction to the work, Mr. Shaw, in his first
chapter, gives a careful and ingenious analysis of
the origin and structure of the English language, ,
commenting at the outset upon the oriental parentage
of the early Britons; upon the traces of the Celtic
dialect in the vernacular of England; upon the intro-
duction of the Saxon tongue, and the gradual disuse of
the Saxon inflexions; upon the peculiarity of the English
w and the English ; upon the Latin element; upon the
Gallicisms, arising 'from the introduction of the Nor-
man French; upon Neologism, and Chaucerism, and
Euphonism, and the rest of those isms and schisms
which have ultimately produced that glorious language
combining in itself, at pleasure, the sonorous music of
the Greek, the elegant perspicuity of the Latin, the gor-
geous pomp of the Spanish, the mobile delicacy of the
French, and the elastic copiousness of the German.
No panegyric could scarcely be exaggerated as to the
capacity of a language which has produced such
poets as Shakspere and Milton, such orators as
Burke and Chatham, such publicists as Swift and
Halifax, such essayists as Johnson and Addison,
such philosophers as Bacon and Hobbes. This.
cannot but have forced itself upon the conviction of
Mr. Shaw during the composition of his compact but
laborious and elaborate synopsis of our literature.
The treasures of this splendid literature he has com-
mented upon in separate divisions. Ikre it is, however,
that the chief blemish of the work becomes perceptible.
Those divisions are marked too conspicuously by the
characteristic of " generality." As, for, example,
in treating of Chaucer and his times—what, do we
hear at all, or at least sufficiently, about Gower, and
blind Harry, and Taylor the Water Poet, and the
like early prophets of " Bardianna ?" As we pro-
gress, however, this kind of deficiency becomes
less and less perceptible. Sidney and Spenser
are happily treated of together. Bacon
has a chapter to himself—as he should.
Then is recounted the ' rise and developement
of the English dramas, beginning with the old mys-
teries and moralities, and attaining the apogee of its
glory in the age of Marlow and Shakspere. Among
the Shaksperian dramatists are of course especially
enumerated—Jonson, Beaumont, Fletcher, Messinger,
Chapman, Dekker, Webster, Middleton, Marston,
Ford, and Shirley. Among the great divines—
Richard Hooker, Jeremy Taylor, and Isaac Barrow.
John Milton receives the homage accorded to Bacon,
and—absurdly enough—denied to Shakspere, a
greater man than either : he is noticed in a chapter
exclusively dedicated to the consideration of his
writings and character. Butler and Dry-
den are subsequently criticised—both satirists,
and one something more than a mere
satirist, a true and glorious poet. Clarendon, Bunyan,
and Locke, the peer, the cobbler, and the middle-
class man, the historian, the allegorist, and the
metaphysician, are brought under view within
the same interval. Then come the wits of
Queen Anne's reign, and conspicuous above them
all the author of the " Dunciad," the wasp
of Twickenham. Next the essayists Jonathan
Swift, Joseph Addison, Richard Steele, and Samuel
Johnson. Afterwards the great novelists—De Foe,
with his golden story about " Robinson Crusoe ;"
Richardson, with his renowned "Pamella ;" Fielding,
with his immortal " Tom Jones ;" Smollett, with his
inimitable narrative of the adventures and
vicissitudes of " Roderick Random ;" Sterne,
with that incorrigible, delightful, absurd, capital,
ridiculous, famous, preposterous book—that book
which turns the mind of the reader topsy-turvy and
inside•out, and makes him uncertain whether he's
standing on his head or his heels, whether he's sane
or insane, or awake or dreaming—that book which
Leigh Hunt, in an almost pardonable fit of
enthusiasm, calls the wittiest book in the
world—" Tristram • Shandy," glorious Tristram
Shandy ! endeared to us by the eccentricities of " my
Uncle Toby," of Corporal Trim, and of that little
absurd man Doctor Slop, as well as by the goodli-
ness of poor borick and the misfortunes of Lefevre
As a worthy peroration to the chapter on the great
novelists, Mr. Shaw gives an account of the appear-
ance in the world of letters of that favourite of
all English readers, the author of the " Vicar
of Wakefield," dear Oliver Goldsmith. Then
come the great historians David Hume, Wil-
liam Robertson, and Edward Gibbon. The tran-
sition school is considered in reference to Thomson,
to Gray, to Collins, to Shenstone, to Ossian, to Chat-
terton, to Cowper, to Crabbe, and to Burns. After-
wards appear Scott and Southey followed by Moore,
Byron, and Shelley. And ultimately we have a most
entertaining chapter on the modern novelists, Miss
Burney, Miss Alitford, Miss Austin, Miss Edgeworth,
Mrs. Radcliffe, Mrs. Shelley, Mrs. Trollope, Wal-
pole, Lewis, Maturin, James, Ainsworth, Bulwer
(Lytton), Godwin, Galt, Wilson, Banim, Ward,
Lister, Hook, Beckford, hope, Morier, Marryatt,
Warren, and Dickens. "The greatest name in the
contemporary literature of Great Britain," says the
author, "is indubitably that of Charles Dickens."
But few will gainsay the truth of that assertion. Mr.
Shaw, however, has done less justice to Sir Edward
Bulwer Lytton ; he has evinced either a strange
incapacity to appreciate his genius, or a want of know-
ledge of his writings. A man who has written such
a novel as " Night and Morning," such a romance as
" Zanoni," such a classical story as the " Last Days
of Pompeii," such an historical tale as "Harold,"
such a drama as the " Lady of Lyons," such an epic
as "King Arthur," such essays as those contained in
the " Student," such translations as those of Schiller,
such a history as that of Athens—besides the rest of
his numerous and remarkable compositions, " Pel-
ham," "Eugene Aram," " Paul Clifford," " Ernest
Maltravers," "Alice," the "Disowned," "Deve-
rceux," " Godolphin," " Lucretia," " Rienzi," " Falk-
land," " Eva," " Money," the " New Timon," " Ri-
chelieu," the "Pilgrims of the Rhine," &c., &c., &c.
—is not exactly the man to be passed flippantly over,
according to the estimate of Mr. Shaw. Unless the
writer is desirous that his volume should have one con-
spicuous blot, lie will certainly, in the next edition,
emend that portion of his " Outlines of English Litera-
ture" where he speaks of Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton.
Wordsworth, Coleridge, and the new poets—Keats,
Hunt, Hood, Lamb, &c., are finally reviewed ; and a
separate division of the work is devoted to " the stage,
oratory, politics, theology, metaphysics, and journal-
ism." In a work treating of so much it is impossible
but what, in the first instance, it should be marked
by some strange and startling omissions. We should
have expected, forfinstance, to have found somewhat
on such great historians as Lingard, as Hallam, and
as Sharon Turner, if not upon Keightley and Ma-
caulay. Taken as a whole, however, and regarded as a
first effort to fill up an extraordinary hiatus in Eng-
lish literature—namely that recounting its rise and
advance—the book is good, and what is more, it will
generally prove welcome. 'We know of no more
appropriate or valuable present for a student than
Thomas Shaw's "Outlines of English Literature."

seen that the number of patients relieved in the year
1841 was 35,548, of which 4,724 were in-patients; since
which period there has been a large annual increase, and
in 1848 the number of patients relieved amounted to
71,573, of which 5,826 were in-patients.
1.4001 E AT Youu LETTERS.—A person residing in
the neighbourhood of West 11am received a letter on Sa-
turday morning, which he put in his pocket, with the in-
tention of opening at leisure. Two or three days elapsed,
and the letter escaped his notice; on Tuesday his. better
half discovered the letter in the breast pocket of his coat,
which had been put aside to be repaired, and on opening
it she found it came from the executors of a deceased
uncle, who died during the past year in the United States
of America, bequeathing her 3,500/., as well as five of
her sisters the like amount.—lpszcieh Express,
We have papers from Port Philip to the 14th
January. The emigrants that bad arrived in the colony
were immediately absorbed at high rates of wages, and
it is stated that quadruple the number would apparently
make no impression on the labour market. This is en-
couraging intelligence to intending emigrants, provided
that attention is paid to those departments of labour in
requisition in a new colony. Animal food was at such a
low rate that legs of mutton were sold for 6d. in Mel-
bourne, and fat bullocks, neighing 7 cwt., were sold at

The following is the address of the Constituent
Assembly of Rome to the Governments and Parlia-
ments of France and England :
" The Representatives of the free Roman people con-
fidently appeal to the Governments and to the Parlia-
ments of the two most free and most powerful nations of
Europe.

" Ii is well known that we have been for many ages
governed by the Church, with the same special and ab•
solute authority in all matters temporal as in spiritual,
whence it happened that, amid the enlightenment of the
19th century, we are surrounded by the darkness of the
middle ages. Civiliattion was combated at times with
open wartare, alvv3ys with the force of inertia, to such a
degree that it was considered a crime in us to feel and
call ourselves Italians.
" It is well known that we have on many occasions at-
tempted to achieve our own liberty ; bat Europe has
made us expiate by a harder slavery those very attempts
by st Well other nations have been rendered glorious.
At length; after our long martyrdom, the day of re-
demption appeared to have arrived, and we trusted
to the power of ideas as well as to that of evnts,
and to the mild character of the Prince. We desired,
above all things, to be Italians ; this was a crime.
We believed ourselves free ; this was an illusion. The
day came when the Prince abandoned us, and we were
left without government; all attempts at conciliation•
failed; messages and messengers from the Parliament
and the municipality were rejected; the people awaited
their time with patience, but the emigrated Government
no longer proffered a single word of liberty or of love;
it stigmatised three millions of men with the guilt of an
individual, and, when we deliberated on employing the

ciety for :vans of honesty. He strongly advocated emigra-
tion as the best means of providing for the future career
of these children, and in proof thereof re id some affect-
ing letters from boys and girls who had already been sent
out to South Australia at the public expense. One of
these liter-Nriters was, when first brought under the
care of the society, such an object of compassion that
the principal thiet of the district taking compassion on
his destitute condition, after vainly endeavouring to
support him, at last brought him to the refuge
of the society in Pye-street, Westminster. It was
said that ragged schools were one-sided in their phi-
lanthropy, and showed an undue partiality for children
the outcasts of society, over the offspring of the poor
but independent labourer. But the mans of the so-
tety were limited, and it was necessary to confine
their operations accordingly, and by improving the basis
of society they improved the whole of the superstructure,
and, therefore, he asked the meeting what they would
resolve to do with all the hopes and promises before
them. The Noble Lord concluded by calling on the
meeting to rise to the discharge of the great duties be-
fore them, and in doing so to bless God from the bottom
of their hearts that they were about to thrust their sickles
into that harvest which, by His blessing, was already
ripe for the hands of the reaper.—(Loud cheers.)
The SECRITARY then read the report, which stated
that the funds of the society had been vastly increased.
The subscriptions having risen from 89Z in the pre-
ceding to 338/ in the past year, while the donations
had risen from 520/. to 3,1681. in the same period.
The report then proceeded to notice the society's opera-
tions during the year, and especially the immense bene-
fits conferred by the means of emigration supplied
by Government to ragged school children willing to
settle in the colonies. An earnest hope was expressed
that this boon, obtained by the exertions of Lord Ashley
during the past year, might be continued permanently.
Since last June 150 boys and girls bad been sent out to
Australia at the public expense, and were now doing
very well. The 82 schools of the society were now
taught by more than 1,000 voluntary or paid teachers,
yet even that number, great as it was, was found quite
inadequate.

READFUL OCCURRENCE.--Yesterday, about three
o'clock, a dreadful occurrence took place at a house
in Shire-lane. near Temple-bar. It appears a young
female took a lodging
there the previous night, stating she
had left her situation in Golden-square. In the afternoon
she went out for a short time, and when she returned
was watched in by two women, who shortly after-
wards, accompanied by a City policeman, en-
tered the house, and proceeded upstairs to the
room of this unfortunate girl. No sooner had they en-
tered the room than she sprang from the window, and
fell a distance of forty feet into a back yard, fracturing
the back part of her
skull in a dreadful manner. She
was conveyed to King's College Hospital, with but
slight hopes of recovery. She was said to have a great
quantity of property in her possession.
TUE DISTRESSED NEEDLEWOMEN'S SOCIETY.—A
meeting of the ladies' and gentlemen's committee of this
institution took place yesterday at the residence of Mr.
Luke Hansard, at which there was a full attendance o'
the members, for the purpose of receiving the report of
the accounts of the society, which had been inspected by
the auditors,
-assisted by two paid accountants uncon-
nected with the institution, the result of which has shown
that the honorary secretary
has expended a c misiderable
sum of money from his own private resources, in order to
carry out the objects of the charity. A public meeting
will be called in a few days, at which Mr. Alderman
Farebrother, the president of
the society, will preside,
when it is intended that steps shill be taken to publicly
acknowledge the services rendered by Mr. Roper in pro-
moting the benefits of the charity.
PUGILISM.—The battle for 20/. aside, between
Adams, of 'Westminster, and Herbert, of the east-end,
was decided yesterday, near Grays, in Essex, after a
spirited contest. Herbert was declared the victor, he
receiving a foul bicny from hie opponent.

Th© Duke of ARGYLE moved the adoption of the
report, and expressed his deep sense of the vast and
paramount importance of the work which the meeting
had assembled to aid. This was one of those great
works, and there were many such in the history of the
world, which bad been conceived, begun, and carried on,
by a few earnest, faithful, and loving men—(l-lear)—.

THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 17, 1849.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
CLE I? ICENIV 'LL.
Jackson wns pieced at the bar before Mr.
Combs, for final examination, charged by the di-
rectors of the poor of St. Pancras lh t h having been
concerned in a burglary in St. Pancras Workhouse,
and stealing twenty sovereigns and 155/. in silver
money.
Mr. Prendergast attended for the prosecution, and
ee. Mr. Huddlcstone for the prisoner.
The prisoner was brought from the House of De-
tention in a cab, in a very weakly condition, and was
allowed a seat during the investigation.
William Cockerill, a constable, No. 108 L
being sworn, identified the prisoner as having gone
by the names of William Morgan, William May,
and William Coleman, and being concerned some
years ago in the Custom-house robbery, with Gowell,
Jordan, and Sullivan, and who were convicted for
that offence. The prisoner was indicted, but not tried.
Several witnesses were examined to prove that on
the night of the robbery, the Bth 'of February last,
the doors of the strong-room, &c., were locked, and
all appeared safe, and that on the following morning
the robbery was discovered.
Robert Clarke, a cab-driver, proved that between
-' twelve and one o'clock on the morning of the 9th of
February, the prisoner was supported into his vehicle
with his leg broken, when he drove him, according to
e. instructions, to Guy's Hospital, Borough. On his
road he was ordered to stop at a house in the o
k e
withd outthe
neigh-
bourhoodefaNvindoowf Banladckcfarmiaersd-orwoand,awndhecroenavmerasnedlo
: prisoner for ten minutes.
Sarah Tiffin proved having found four skeleton
;3‘ keys, and James Unwin a dark lantern, near the spot
where the prisoner was found injured, which were
•N handed over to the police of the S division. The
keys opened the doors of the vestry-room, &c.
Lockerby, 180 S, deposed that subsequent to the
commission of the robbery he was consulted by the
parish authorities to make inquiries into the matter,
when he traced the prisoner to Guy's Hospital, where
A, he visited him in plain clothes, and found him lying
• in bed. He asked him how he got his thigh broken ;
he replied that he had slipped down on the pavement
Os. at the other side of Westminster-bridge. Witness,
after some conversation, told him he was an officer,
y€, and he should take him into custody on suspicion of a
robbery at St. Pancras 'Workhouse on the night of
the Bth of February. He replied, " Very well, all I
os. have to do is to prove to the contrary, I suppose."
Witness left a constable with him.
Mary Reading, a pauper girl, was sitting at the
gate of the workhouse between twelve and one
o'clock on the morning of the 9th of February,
when she heard a heavy fall, and some one exclaim
three times, " God help me, I am killed!" ,
_ _

The Niger and Basilisk experimental steam-vessels
proeceded yesterday r4fernoon fr-rn Cowes roads on
their voyage, nett although such untteiM die rence ap-
peared between their prtermances as far as they cou:d
be seen from this shore, we are informed that in a run
of twenty miles towards Plymouth there was not the
distance of a ship's length between their speed; after
that run fog and haz3 came on, and they parted com-
pany, and about one o'clock,-Aar. this day the bottom of
the boiler of the Niger was discovered to have got red-
hot, and set fire to the bottom of the ship. With some
difficulty the fire was got at and extinguished, and she
then bore up for Spithead, where she was ultimately re-
joined by the Basilisk. Both have come into harbour
this afternoon—the Niger to repair damages, which are
expecte 1 to be of a serious character.
Thirteen men were apprehended this morning on a
charge of smuggling. The capture seas made jointly l-y
Lieutenant Scott, of the Southsea Castle station, and
Lieutenant Brown, of the Hardway station, about one
a.m. About 150 half- ankers of foreign spirits comprised
the seizure, together with the men engaged in the
illicit venture, whose names, as given before the magis-
trates, are—Francis Kemmitt, Henry Gardner, Charle s
Bailey, Nathaniel Richards, James Hewett, John Min-
chin, William Spraggs, otherwise William Downes;
William Seal, William Muggeridge, John Clark, Joseph
Sherwin, Nicholas Courtnell, and William Turner, who
are all in custody, remanded for further examination.
The three first named were taken on board the steam-
tug Peter Rolt, the property of the eminent Government
contractor of that name, which was also seized, but ul-
timately released on bond put in by the owner's re-
presentative.

The Reynard screw steam-sloop, Commander P. Cra-
croft, was ducked this morning, in lieu of the Plumper
uudocked last evening.
Commander H. G. Shute, R.N., of the Coast guard
service at Greenhithe, died on the 12th inst.
Wind, W.S.W., fresh breezes, and cloudy weather.

THE ROYAL LITERARY FUND.
The sixtieth anniversary of this excellent institution
was celebrated last evening at the Freemasons' Tavern,
Great Queen-street, under the presidency of Viscount
Hardinge. Upwards of 100 sat down to dinner, which
was served in good style by Messrs. Bacon. At the
right of the chair sat the Hon. Leslie Melville, the Hon.
C. Hardinge, Mr. R. Trevor, M.P., Sir C. Pasley; and
on the left the Hon. E. Stanley, M.P., Sir H. Bulwer,
Sir C. Malcolm, Colonel Mere, M.P., Mr. Wyld, M.P.,
Mr. Alison, Rev. Dr. Hessey, Rev. Dr. Major. Among
others present we observed Mr. Thackeray, Mr. P.
Simpson, Mr. Finlaison, Mr. Forster, Mr. a Cruik-
shank, Professor Hancock, Mr. Stanfield, Mr. Sergeant
Merewether, Mr. Whiteside, Mr. Bolt, &c.
The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the first toast—" The
health of the Queen"—said he was confident they would
be disposed to receive it not as the mere expression of
ordinary loyalty. They would recollect that her Ma-
jesty had always been a very sincere friend, and had al-
ways taken a very warm interest in the welfare of' the
Royal Literary Fund, of which she was a munificent
patron.—(Cheers.) In the midst of the convulsions
which had shaken the thrones of the Princes of Europe
that of her Majesty remained secure.—(Cheers.) The
high qualities which distinguished her in no ordinary
degree, and her virtues in domestic life, had endeared
her to such an extent in the minds of all her subjects,
that he felt confident the throne would remain secure.—
(Loud cheers.) He gave " The health of the Queen,"
which was drunk with three times three.
The CHAIRMAN, in giving the next toast, said, on
occasions when charity was to be dispensed, the name
of the Queen Dowager was associated with acts of be-
nevolence—(Cheers)—and they were all aware that
Prince Albert had manifested the greatest interest in the
prosperity of this institution. His Royal Highness was
a warm admirer and patron of the Literary Fund—
(Cheers)—he trusted that in due season the Prince of
Wales, inheriting his father's love of literature and
science, would follow in his footsteps, and when he
reached the years of maturity would honour the chair
by presiding over one of their anniversaries.—(Loud
cheers) He begged to give " The Health of the Queen
DowaeerP Prince Albert, Albert Prince of Wales, and
the rest of the Royal Family."
The next toast the CHAIRMAN gave was_ " The
Church," from the ministers of which the Royal Lite-
rary Fund had from its commencement derived the
greatest encouragement, not only by their direct contri-
butions to its funds, but by their zealous advocacy of its
claims.—(Cheers.)
Dr. INGRAM, President of Trinity College, Oxford,
briefly responded to the toast.
The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the next toast which
stood on the list, " The Army and Navy," begged, as a
military man, to transpose the words, and to give " The
Navy and Army."—(Much cheering.) He had always
entertained for that glorious profession, the navy, un-
bounded admiration, and he felt that the national great-
ness, independence, and security were concerned in its
efficiency. He had the greatest pleasure in stating his
opinion thus publicly, that if ever a financial crisis should
occur, as a military man, he hoped any reductions that
economised expenditure might require should fall rather
on the army than the navy.—(Loud cheers.)
Admiral Sir C. MALCOLM and Major-General Sir C.
PASLEY returned thanks respectively for the services to
which they belonged.
The CHAIRMAN next proposed " Prosperity to the
Literary Fund." He was confident that the system
upon which the institution proceeded was an excellent
one. He only regretted that he had not been better
acquainted ,with it before,- or ho should certainly
have been a constant subscriber many years ago. Its
object certainly was not to entice men to tread the
paths of literature who might not have the requisite
qualifications for its successful pursuit; but, whenever
it found men of merit who had contributed by their
genius to any branch of literature involved in difficulty
or embarrassment, it relieved them in the most delicate
manner, without subjecting the objects of its benevolence
either to the obtrusion of private circumstances or the
pain of personal solicitation. -lie was happy to be able
to state that the subscription list was this year most
prosperous. He had the day before yesterday received
a note from -the President of Trinity College, Oxford,
whom he was happy to see now present, stating that he
feared the state of his health would prevent his attend-
ance, and enclosing a cheque from Dr. Ingram for fifty
guineas towards the, funds of the society.—(Loud
cheers.) A young friend of his, Major Edwardes—
(Loud cheers)—who, he must say, wielded his pen as
well as his sword—(Loud cheers)—had also sent a
contribution of ten guineas.—(Cheers.) He was con-
fident they would all do their best to promote the pros-
perity of the Royal Literary Fund.
Mr. M. MILNES proposed " The health of the Chair-
man." In this country when so many were apt to draw
a broad line of demarcation between men of thought and
men of action, he thought it peculiarly fitting that such
a society should be presided over by one who had not
only distinguished himself in the senate but gained fresh
laurels on the broad field of military enterprise. He could
not but recollect that the battle of Albuera had been fought
on the 16th of May, that it was gained by the more than
military energy of the Noble Lord who now sat in the
chair, after one of the most tremendous conflicts in which
the ritish army had ever been engaged.—(Loud cheers.)
His brilliant achievements in India had gained him the
approbation of his Sovereign and the thanks of both
Houses of Parliament, and his efforts to promote the
spread of education in India entitled him to the warm
commendation of every friend of civilization in the em-
pire.—The toast was drunk with all the honours.
Viscount HARDINGE felt most grateful for the compli-
ment which had been paid to hire, proposed as it had
been by ono for whom he entertained the greatest re-
spect as an orator and a statesman, and whom for many
years he had personally regarded as a friend. He could
not claim the merit of being an author. Indeed when
he recollected pat he should be surrounded by men
eminent for their literature, he had some difficulty in
accepting the honour of being chairman on that occa-
sion, but his scruples were overcome when he considered
the admirable objects of the institution, and he thought
he was justified in accepting that post from motives of
gratitude as a military officer. There was no class of
her. Majesty's subjects who owed a deeper debt of gra-
titude to literary men than soldiers.—(Cheers.) Few
perhaps of their number were fortunate enough to 'attain
high rank and station, nor were there many opportuni-
ties of performing groat deeds which would justify the
historian in handing them down to posterity. But when
such cases did occur they were much indebted to the
faithful and impartial record of their achievements.—
(Loud cheers.) This was not all. A more disin-
terested feeling actuated the great mass of the army,
who, from the regimental libraries which were now esta-
blished, could solace themselves, from the higher officers
down to the very drummer-boys, with the pleasure and
instruction of literature, which would not otherwise have
been accessible to them. As his military services had
been alluded to, he might be allowed to say that, forced
as he had been to draw the sword afteramost unprovoked
aggression, he had sheathed it the earliest moment he
could with honour and safety—(Loud cheers)—when by
the valour and discipline of that glorious Indian army
the campaign was terminated in sixty days after fighting
four bloody battles.—(Cheers.) With respect to his
policy in India, he was happy to say that two successive
Administrations—that of Sir R. Peel and of Lord John
Russell—had approved of it.—(eTheers.) Ile confessed
with reference to the time when he had the honour of
administering affaire in India, he looked back with'
peculiar gratification to that portion of his civil duties
which concerned the education of the people. Both
by Lord William Bentinck and Lord Ellenborough great
efforts bad been made with the assistance of the Court
of Directors for this purpose, and the most gratifying
progress had already been made. He had himself
heard children of twelve years of age. natives of India,
read Milton and Shakespere in the English language,
not only with facility but with remarkable intelligence ;
and it was by no means uncommon in India to hear the
Ilindoos take part in the most important discussions con.
ducted in the English language ; indeed, to such an ex-
tent was the English language now cultivated in India
that he luoked forward to the period when it would be-
come the adopted language in that country.—(Cheers.)
He had, himself, when in India, sent over three young
men to be educated here, and he was happy to fleet that
one of them had this year been a most successful compe-
titor for prizes at the London University. He begged
again to thank them for the honour they had done him
in drinking his health.
The health of " the Earl of Carlisle, chairman elect,"
was next drunk. Then followed " the health of Lord
Lansdowne, the president of the Literary Fund;" the
" health of the Ambassadors" (briefly responded to by
Sir H. Bulwer); " the Writers on Science" (steknow-
lodged by Mr. Finlaison); " the Members of the House
of Commons," (for which Mr. R. Trevor returned
thanks); " the Writers of History," (acknowledged by
Mr. Alison); " the Literature of Ireland," (responded
to by Mr. Whiteside); " the Writers of Fiction," (epee
ponded to by Mr. Thackeray); and several other toasts,
after which the company broke up.

. _
Mr. Prendergast said this concluded his case.
Mr. COMER said he should commit the prisoner for
trial, and, with the usual caution, asked if he would
say anything in his defence.
Mr. Huddlestone said, if the Bench was determined
to adopt that course, he would reserve his observations
and the defence for the prisoner's trial.
, The prisoner was conveyed to prison in a cabriolet.
MARY LEB ONE.
'} Long before the opening of the Court some bun-
-1 dreds of persons congregated in its immediate vicinity,
L in consequence of its having become known that a
man was in custody for having attempted to violate a
child only four years of age. The prisoner, whose
ee. name is Henry Welley, is a blacksmith, and so great
was the indignation excited against him, that Inspec-
tor Wig-gin, of the D division, found it necessary to
bring the prisoner up in a cab.
Several witnesses were examined, from whose evi-
-1 deuce it appeared that on the previous afternoon Mrs.
Jane Roberts, residing at No. 17, North Wharf-road,
Paddington, sent her little girl, Emma Louisa, out to
play, and while playing she was taken into a field by
the prisoner,

her as to leave no doubt whatever with regard to his
intention to perpetrate a rape ; the child screamed,
and the prisoner was given into custody. A certifi-

nature and extent of the injury caused.
Mr. BROUGHTON asked if the prisoner was known,
and the reply made by a constable was that he had
been in custody before for an assault of a criminal na-
ture upon a child eight years old.

RICHMONDri
James Nye, who wag described as a smith, living
M in Marylebone, was brought from London, in custody
. of Sergeant Bennett, of the D division, and charged
before Sir Henry Batter, Bart., with being concerned
.... with the three prisoners now in custody in sacrile-
giously breaking into Kew Church, in February,
lee, 1845, and stealing therefrom an iron chest, containing
the parish registers.
James Henry Price, a brass-worker, proved the
connexion existing between the prisoner, Standen,
and Hart. It was further shown that the prisoner
was concerned in the taking of the iron chest to
3 Standen's house, and he was remanded to Kingston
Gaol, to be brought up for re-examination with the
other prisoners.
It was stated in the court that the parochial autho-
rities of Kew had received a letter from a person
named Avery, living in Red Lion-street, Holborn,
o who, after alluding to the reports published in the
papers respecting the case, said he could, on being
i assured of receiving the reward originally offered,
i undertake that the original certificate of the marriage
of King William IV. with the Dowager Queen
Adelaide should be forthcoming. Inspector O'Brien,
of the A division, who has the management of the
case, was instructed to wait upon this party, and
ice• the result was a visit to Doctors' Commons and a
production of the duplicate.

FINANCIAL AND PARLIAMENTARY REFORm.—Yes-
terday a meeting of the electors of Southwark (convened
by the high bailiff eursuant to a requisition addressed
to him for that purpose) was held in the Town Hall, for
the purpose of taking into consideration the best mode
of co operating in the objects, and furthering the viesVe
of the Metropolitan Financial and Parliamentary Re'
form Association. At one o'clock the high bailiff (Wil"
Liam Pritchard, Esq.) took the chair, and, having read
the requisition he had received, said he had derived
great pleasure in acceding to it, inasmuch as the meet.-
ing was convened for the purpose of considering
matter of vast and important public interest, and which
was now occupying a very large portion of the public
attention—((;beers,) He then read two letters ho had
received from Mi. Alderman Humphrey and Sir Wm.
Molesworth, the members for the borough, announcing
their inability to attend the meeting, in consequence of
being obliged to attend at twelve o'clock in their place
in Parliament, on the discussion and anticipated division
upon Mr. Page Wood's Affirmation Bill. A number of
resolutions, in furtherance of the objects of the meeting,
were then proposed and seconded by Messrs. Elkinge
ton, Blake, Thwaites, Douglas, Pellatt, Bronterre
O'Brien, and other gentlemen, and the whole of them
were carried. A petition was ordered to be presented
to the House of Commons founded on them. Thanki
were then voted to the chairman, and the meeting
broke up.
KING'S COLLEGE HOSPlTAL.—Yesteraty a quer-.
' terly general court of the governors of this charity was
held at the board-room, Portugal-street, Lincoln's Inn'
fields. Mr. E. F. Burton in the chair. The report read
by the secretary stated that the number of patients dure
ing the last quarter was 396; of whom 252 were dis-
charged cured or relieved, 32 proved incurable, died, or
left for disorderly conduct, and the remaining 112 are
under treatment. The out-patients during the same
period numbpred 4,772—making a total of both classes,
since the opening of the charity, of 132,943. The re-:
port having been adopted, and a reference made to the
high estimation in which the charity was held (as testi..
fled by a subscription of 2,0951. being made at the Annie
versary on Saturday), Mr. %V. Moody proposed the
thanks of the court to the worthy chairman, who had
recently undergone three months' treatment in the hos-
pital for a very severe and dangerous accident. le
seconding the resolution, Mr. T. G. Sambrooke expressed
his gratification at finding Mr. Burton become a gover-
nor, and subsequently chairman at a quarterly court,
after availing himself of the medical and surgical skill
of such a public institution in preference to the high.
professional services that his position and affluence en-
abled him to command. The Chairman, after acknosv-
ledging the compliment, trusted that none of the go-
vernors present would have a similar occasion to witness:
the behind-scenes of the hospital, although his experi
ence and observation, in one respect, had afforded him.
the most pleasing satisfaction. Some routine business•
having shortly occupied the attention of the court, the:
meeting separated.
THE POISONING CASES AT GIIESTLING.-.-A verdict,
of " Wilful Murder" has been returned by the coroner's'
jury against Mary Ann Gearing, the widow of one of
the poisoned men, and mother of the others. Since the'
accused has been in custody, she addressed a letter to'
her children. It was intercepted by the g,aoler, and the:
magistrates have taken it as evidence against her. The,
folfowing is an extract:—" My flax children—l never'
had any poison for to use after I had the last, which you ,
know was before your father died some time. I could ,
not recollect yesterday, when I was in court. If poor James could know, he would he very sorry for me to ,
suffer for him; for when he wanted poison to kill vermin
in the horses, I always got it for him. He used to tell
me what to get, and not let anybody know whom it was
for. I have got it for him many times. The last that I
ever got for him was that week that lie was getting
better. Ho said to me, ' Mother, ye must go and get me
some moro stuff for my horses.' I went and got him
several sorts, and then mixed them all together, and -
done them in the oven when I had been baking, and ho
never meant to give it them. I did not let any one see
it. I threw it away after he was dead. My dear children, •
I never had a hit of poison for myselfafterwards."

HAT'S YOUR OPINION of MOSES ? ,
My opinion of Moses' is this,
'fliat their warehouse has nothing amiss ;
ror many a year have I tried
The garments by Moses' supplied,
And finding, how business is done,
I can rezommend Moses and Son.
' I've a bill on my file you must know,
•
Which is dated just twelve years a;o,
When first I was tempted to try
The garments of Moses' supply,
And ever since then I've been one
To support Messrs. Moses and Son;
For during the whole of the term,
Not a fault have I seen in the firm.
The various promises made
have ad been fulfilled in their trade,
.And the more I have known of the mart,
The more have I acted my part.
In furnishing stylish attire,
Messrs. Moses are all I desire;
And I've equally found them outdo,
-- In make and material too.
These praises will also apply
To the boots and the shoes that you buy ;
511. Nor can I say less of the shop,
• With prime I'aris hats for the top ;
IA: And the hosiery thews what the trade is,
And the leautiful shawls for the ladies ;
There's nothing, in fact, that you buy,
but ranks the proprietors high.
The whole of the houses, as one,
s. Do credit to .lases and Son.
'Then look at what savings are made
Ey the very low price that is paid.
The strictest economy hero
• Is constantly found to appear.
In all things the warehouse discloses
What scarcely a stranger supposes,
Aud that's my opinion of Moses.
