" BLANCHE and LISETTE," the new Ballad
by the Author and Composer of" Jeannette and Jeannot."
Miss Poole introduced a new Ballad, "Blanche and Lisette," by Clover;
It is an excellent song, and was well sung. Some three years ago
we predicted success for the famous " Conscript Songs ;" we were
right wherever the English language is spoken there the " Jean-
nette" songs are sung, and we expect that the same good fortune
awaits " Blanche and Lisette," for the melody is extremely pretty,
quaint, and original, and the poetry has that " touch of nature which
makes the whole world kin."—Post free, 2s.

been engaged with Robert Powell in committing the
robbery for which the latter had been transported.
Committed for trial.

John Walters, who was a few days ago charged
with having forged and uttered a cheque, purporting
to be an order for 1571. 10s., upon the banking-house
of Barclay and Co., of Lombard-street, was brought
up for re- examination.
The prisoher had been identified, upon his first
examination, by one of the waiters at the Guildhall
llotel ; and a witness swore that he believed the
handwriting in the cheque, and also in a note pre-
viously sent to Messrs. Barclay, to be the prisoner's.
By accident, however, a gentleman of the name of
Jerram was sitrrng in the Justice-room with the
Lord Mayor, and with Mr. Jerram, it appeared, the
prisoner had lived for six or seven years, before he
had entered the service of Mr. Da Silva, whose
cheque it was supposed he had counterfeited; and the
prisoner, after having looked at the instrument which
he was accused of having forged, said, " With the
permission of the Lord Mayor, I should wish to ask
the gentleman who sits with his Lordship a question."
Mr. Jerram, thus appealed to, said—My Lord
Mayor, I will of course answer any question the man
at the bar puts to me, but I think he had better not
ask me any.
The prisoner—l beg, Sir, that you will consent to
be sworn.

Mr. Jerram was then sworn and examined—He
stated that the prisoner had been six or seven years
in his service, and he had often seen the prisoner
write.

The prisoner—ls the writing on the cheque like
mine ? Mr. Jerram—lf it is your writing, it is
greatly altered from what it was when you were
with me.

Alderman GIBBS (who sat with the Lord Mayor)
said, he was present at the first examination, and he
did not consider the evidence sufficiently strong
against the prisoner to justify a committal, as it was
impossible that a jury could convict upon it.
The prisoner was then discharged.
William New, a Thames steam-boat commander,
pleaded Guilty to a charge of having navigated a
steam-vessel between Hampton and Teddington-lock
at a quicker rate than was allowed by Act of Par-
liament.

The Loan MAYOR said he would inflict but a
small penalty for the offence. If the charge had been
that of overloading he would have inflicted the highest
fine. He had lately witnessed a case of tremendous
overloading, from which he apprehended serious dan-
ger, and he considered it to be his duty to wait upon
the Board of Trade, and represent the circumstance.
It appeared that the Board had been most grossly
imposed upon on the occasion of the application for
licences to steam vessels, the numbers to be carried
being vastly disproportioned to the size of the boats,
and they promised to bring in a Bill in the nex session
calculated to remedy the evil. His LOrdship said,
that he should, instead of inflicting the fine of 51., be
satisfied with the penalty of ss. ; but he assured the
defendant that any further mischief to the banks of
the river, occasioned by rapid transit, should be visited
with a severe penalty.

One half the world are desolately single, and the other
;apposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
,ense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
-:tter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
A caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
omprosiug hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical Incapacity,
sod broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
mi sosisl content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
lenient. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item
to the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
neglect wennd more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if

for the Sphynx, as the appointment of Commander 11.
Schonberg, the latter vessel having sustainel such
extensive injuries by her collision with the merchant
barque:Princess as to require some weeks' repair.
With regard to the interchange of the courtesy of
the royal salute with the Russian frigate on Sunday,
we stated that a poor Marine sentinel had been
saddled with the blame of not " reporting" the Rus-
sian's compliment. We had no time, as we stated, at
the late moment at which the information was im-
parted to us, to inquire into its authenticity. We
now find it was an experienced officer of Marines on
duty at the main guard, who stands charged with the
grave offence of not reporting the Russian compli-
ment, and has been placed under arrest accordingly.—

WANDSWORTH.

Mr. Samuel Kingston, the landlord of the Duke of
York, Lark Hall-lane, Clapham, was charged with
being drunk, and creating a riot in front of his own
house.

Police-constable Spice, 47 V, proved that on Mon•
day evening, about six o'clock, be found the defendant
outside his house drunk, and creating a great disturb.
ance. He had caused a large mob of people to
assemble, to the extreme annoyance of the respectable
inhabitants, and when remonstrated with by Mr.
Coleman, the inspector, he used most insniting and
idisgusting language, and his conduct was altogether
so bad that they were compelled to take him into
custody.
It further appeared that the defendant had been
charged at that court as recently as Friday last with
assaulting a constable named Collins, and was fined
10s. At the same time and place an Irish girl, who
had been acting as servant at the Duke of York was
charged by Mr. Kingston, jun., on suspicion of steal-
ing four sovereigns from the till ; but it was
admitted by the profligate parent that he had given
the girl the money for an immoral purpose, and she
was discharged. Mr. Kingston, jun., on this occa-
sion stated that his father had been twice in Peckham
Lunatic Asylum, but the Commissioners of Lunacy
released him as soon as the effects of drink had
worn off.

Mr. PAYNTER, after imposing a fine of 205., now
said that, unless some restraint was put upon the de-
fendant, he would enforce a power that had been
given him under a recent Act of Parliament, and
suspend his licence, which would have the effect of
shutting up his house; for the continuance of such
disgraceful scenes was not to be tolerated in a
respectable neighbourhood.

Genius, like the sun upon the dial, gives to the
human heart both its shadow and light.—Eliza Cook's
Journal.

corps, in combination with Paniutine's division, lay in
cantonments at Vilagos. The reserve corps, the cavalry
division Wallmoden, and Lichtenstein's 3d army corps,
were placed not only on the Transylvanian road, as far
as Facset, but also in greater force on the road
leading to Karauseber, for thither it was that the two
corps of Guyon and Vecsey had retired, offering terms
of negotiation and surrender. Up to the 20th, the 2d
army corps had advanced from Comorn over the hills of
Acs, and to the right of Nagy-Igmaud over Kis-Ber and
Moor, had restored the communication with Stuhlmeis-
senburg, which place the Jablonowsky brigade had en-
tered without difficulty. Raab is held by the brigade
Teuchert, while the brigade Melzer marches on from
Janoshaz3, to Sumeg, scattering the detached bands that
show their faces here and there, and look to the Bakony
forest as their last asylum. The insurgents under
Klapka have all retreated to Comorn, where a truce was
agreed upon till they had received a confirmation of the
news of George Y's defection."

" BLANCHE and LISETTE," the new Ballad
by the Author and Composer of" Jeannette and Jeannot."
Miss Poole introduced a new Ballad, "Blanche and Lisette," by Glover;
it is an excellent song, and was well sung. Some three years ago
we predicted success for the famous " Conscript Songs ;" we were
right : wherever the English language is spoken there the " Jean-
nette" songs are sung, and we expect that the same good fortune
awaits " Blanche and Lisette," for the melody is extremely pretty,
quaint, and original, and the poetry has that " touch of nature which
makes the whole world kin."—Post free, 2s.

PORTSMOUTH REGATTA.—Portsmouth Regatta
came off on Thursday and Friday. In consequence, we
suppose, of this affair following so close upon the Har-
bour Regatta, it was rather a slow concern, and the
attendance not so numerous as thud. The starting
vessel was moored off the hot-baths, on southsea beach.
A good many yachts were cruising about, ineuding the
Portsmouth, with Rear-Admiral Prtscott and a large
distinguished party on board. There was scarcely any
wind on Thursday, so that the sailing matches between
the pilot boats and the wherries were not of any interest.
There was a ball (well attended) at Mr. Hollingsworth's
MOMS on Thursday night, and fireworks from the start-
ing vessel on both nights.
Dispatches were sent off yesterday evening from
the Colonial•ofliice fur the Governor of Canada, and
also for the Governors of the other North American
colonies.

UNDER ROYAL PATRONAGE

•s ESVLEY, FISHER, AND CO.'S
CONCENTRATED ESSENCE OF JAMAICA GINGER.
—This Preparation contens, in a highly concentrated state, and
without the addition of any snore heating stimulant, all the car-
minative and restorative properties of till; useful and grateful aro-
matic, separated from the ligneous fibre which constitutes the hulk
of the root. As few stomachs are able to bear a sufficient quantity
of the powder to produce the desired effect, BE WL EY, FISHER, and
CO. conceive this form of exhibition the most convenient, when
taken in water, tea, beer, wine, &c. ; or for combination with other
medicine, ten drops being equal to eight grains of the powder. It is
rec.,nnnended to persons of Phlegmatic, Gouty, Dyspeptic, and Ner-
vous titbits. Its beneficial effects are quickly diffused througho it
the whole system, relieving cramps, spasms, flatulency, pain, and
sense of oppressi. is after meals, and restoring the tone of the
stomach. Its utility is also manifested as an adjunct to other medi-
cines, and in correcting the chill which soda and oilier aerated or
mineral waters give the stomach, as well as in adding to their tonic
property.
In bottles at 2a. Gd. and 45., prepared by BEWLEY, FISHER,
and Co., 64, Dame-street, Dublin. Also their Anodyne Lettuce
Lozenges, for coughs, colds, astluna, and affections of the chest.
Doctor Duncan, of Edinburgh, and other leading members of the
profession, have strongly recommended Lactucarium (the inspis-
sated juice of the garden Lettuce) as possessing peculiarly soothing
and quieting properties in the above complaints, and especially in
the troublesome coughs attendant on consumption. To increase its
efficacy, Bewley, Fisher, and Co. have combined it with hippo and
demulcents, and have adopted the form of a lozenge as being the
most agreeable mode for its administration. . .

" Art. 10. The objections relative to the personal tax
London, England, 1849-08-11

Mr. licours complained that Mr. Baxter, the so-
licitor, had received fir usanes more than he should ;
that the taxations of his cots vas mere folly,
and suggested the appointment of a law clerk at
salary.
In reply to a shareholder, the CLIAIRMAN stated
that it was not the intention of the directors to make
the line from King's Cross to the Regent's Canal

this year.
The CIIAIRNIAN having replied, the report was
adopted, and the directors fully concurring in tl.at
portion of the amendment which related to
construction of the town's line, but opposing the latter
portion,
The meeting then broke up, after passing a vote of
thanks to the Chairman and directors.
