front door. The prisoner Quinnell then came down the
steps and ran away, but he pursued him, and brought
him back to the house., where he found the sec and
prisoner still knocking at the door. He asked him what
he wanted, and Zarewich said ho wished to see Dr.
Sweeney, but fine:ing that no such person lived there,
or that he was known by either of the two female ser-
vants, who had charge of the house, he took them into
custody.
Sarah Ellison, one of the servants, stated that No. 1
was Miss Dawson's house, but the family was at present
out of town. She and her fellow-servant were greatly
alarmed at the knocking, and being in bed they hurriedly
got up, and rushed down stairs fancying the house was
on fire. They did not know nor had they ever seen
either of the prisoners before the occurrence.
In answer to questions from Mr. HENRY, the prisoner
Quinnell stated, that he happened to be passing through
Bedford-square, on his way home, when Zarewich came
up to him and said he was looking for Dr. Sweeney.
They walked a little way toge ther, when Zarewich ob-
served "This is the house, will you be so good as to
kneck and ring?" He did so, not thinking that be was
doing wrung, but seeing the policeman coming up it
suddenly struck him that he might get into trouble, and
he ran away.
Mr. lIENkr did not think a man would run away
under the circumstances stated by the prisoner, and the
fact of his doing so convinced him that he knew he was
doing wrong.
The prisoner protested that he did not, adding that
the conversation he had had with his fellow-prisoner
dating the night led him to think that he was an in-
sane man.

Mr. HENRY asked him how he got his living ? The
prisoner said he followed no profession, but lived upon a
little income of 301, a year.
Mr. HENRY asked Zaruwich how long he had been in
this country ? The prisoner rt plied about four years.
Mr. HENRY—How do you get your living ? The
prisoner—l get something from the Polish Society, but
it is extremely small.
Mr. HENRY—Where do you live ? The prisoner—ln
Monmouth-court, Seven-dials. _ _ _

Mr. HENRY-Why did you knock at the house? The
prisoner—I; was looking !or Dr. Sweeney, the chaplain
of Seven-dials.

Mr. HENRY—What did you want with him at two
o'clock in the morning? The prisoner—l wanted to
speak to him. I wanted to take counsel and consolation
with him.

Mr. HENRY—He does not Eve in Bedford-aguat e.
The: prisoner—But I wanted to inquire in this house
For him.

Quinnell remarked that Dr. Swteney lived in Euston-
square._

Mr. HENRY Laid Zarewich certainly had a vacant ex•
pression in his countenance, and seemed rather strange.
He therefore directed the officer to take him to St. Giles's
workhouse, and have him examined by a medical man.
If he was insane he must be taken care of, but if not he
must be brought back and punished. The other prisoner
had evidently been conscious of the offence he was com-
mitting, and as the wilful knocking at a person's door
in the dead hour of the night was very reprehensible,
he should fine him 403., or send him to prison for four-
teen days.

The fine was paid and the prisoner discharged.

THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO THE CITY.

We are informed that the Lord Mayor, accom-
panied by Mr. Wood, chairman of the committee, and
the Remembrancer, had the honour of an audience
yesterday at Windsor Castle. It is arranged that her
Majesty will embark on board the Queen's state
barge (now fitting at Deptford), or in one of her
Majesty's steam-yachts, at Whitehall, at half-past
twelve o'clock, arriving about one at the Custom
House Quay, where every proper convenience will be
made for the landing and reception of her Majesty,
and a covered way will be formed for the procession
to the Coal Exchange. Her Majesty will, of course,
be accompanied by his Royal Highness the Prince
Albert, and it is hoped the Prince of Wales, which
would be a source of heartfelt satisfaction to all. Her
Majesty will return by water, between two and three
o'clock. No steam-boats or laden craft will be allowed
to move on the river between Whitehall and the
eastern end of the Custom House, from eleven till
four, and it is particularly requested that no guns
may be fired on the banks of the river.

HEALTH of the QUEEN DOWAGER.
(From the Court Circular.)
Her Majesty the Queen Dowager passed a more
comfortable night on Wednesday, but remains very
ill. The Bishop of London was in attendance on her
Majesty yesterday, at the Priory, Stanmore.

LITERATURE.
RECOLLECTIONS AN L) EXPERIENCES
DURING A PARLIAMENTARY CAREER
from 1833 to 1848. 2 Vols. By John
O'Connell, Esq., M.P.
"We have a kindness for Mr. L'-igh Hunt," said
Mr. Macsulay, when reviewing that writer in the
Edinburgh. We may, at once, utter the same
acknowledgment in regard to Mr. John O'Connell,
after having perused his two most amusing volumes
of Parliamentary Recollections. And honestly we
will confess that we had not given the Hon. Member
for Limerick credit for such genuine appreciation of
fun, such a cordial affection for the humorous, such
a well-tempered, gay, rollicking bon hommie as he has
here evidenced. Our heart instinctively warming
towards a good laugher, just as that of Dr. Johnson
did towards a good hater, we must avow again that
we have a kindness for Mr. John O'Connell. No dry
annotations are these ; no reminiscences flavoured
(as most things Parliamentary are) with the
dulness of Blue-book-making; no " thin acid
pamphlet" breathing the language of the partizan ;
no sour indications of splenetic disappointment.
But a work penned in a genial spirit ; manfully ex-
pressing, no doubt, the political opinions of the author,
yet doing so without bitterness or vituperation ;
abounding with anecdotes and replete with entertain-
ment. Persuaded that the conduct of the Repeal
agitation is his heritage, Mr. John O'Connell of course
renders his present effusion the medium of vindicating
the cause with which his name is so intimately iden-
tified. Nevertheless, even this is done merely
incidentally. The two volumes, as he himself con-
fesses, Vol. 11., p. 41, contain nothing more than
" loose, disjointed memoranda." They are valuable
as affording materials for the future annalist of a
country whose destinies have been so peculiarly
affected by the greatest Irishman ever born—Daniel
O'Connell. Moreover, to ourselves as contemporaries
of that remarkable man, the production is of particular
interest, illustrating, as it does, so many of the
incidents in his extraordinary career. We are
gratified, therefore, to perceive, from an ex-
pression in the last page of these "Recollections,"
that the son of the LIBERATOR has some intention of
continuing his lucubrations. "My limits here warn
me to conclude," he says, p. 354, " at least for the
present, these hasty memoranda." We have said
that if considered simply as yielding amusement, the
work is really acceptable ; and certainly no one but
a cross-grained curmudgeon of a fellow, who can't
for the life of him understand the meaning of a joke,
will gainsay that assertion, after reading the numer-
ous and capital anecdotes scattered through these
" Experiences." Ex gratin, those about the Earl of
Carlisle and " the shocking bad hat," I. 164; about
Cobbett and " Hannibal," 34; about Emerson
Tennent and O'Connell's " tail," 39 ; about Mr. Lalor,
and "Peas and Bans," 40; about Mr. Montgomery
Martin enacting Parolles in a red nightcap, 64; about
poor Tom Steele's "cool, calm" remonstrance,6B ; about
Dominie Sampson and the "green-eyed monster," 78;
about Mr. Feargus O'Connor and Ebenezer Humbug,
106 ; about the Mayor and the electors of Youghal,
145 ; about the silent Irish Member's debi'd in the
House, 224; about Mr. Ronayne and "the pikes,"
240; about Chancellor Sugden and the madhouse,
248 ; about the " bottle of port for the Turkish Am-
bassador ;" with many other equally facetious, both in
the matter and in the telling. How far the work is
remarkable in its revelations as to Daniel O'Connell's
character may be understood from the assertion (vide
1. 84) in one portion, that " rough, fearless, and
reckless, as hostile factions have depicted the Agitator
to be, he was (nevertheless) one of the most sensitive
and nervous men that ever lived." Besides affording
those glimpses into the inner life of his celebrated
father,Mr. John O'Connell's " Recollections" contain
several clever, and, in some instances, very judicious
sketches of his many eminent contemporaries. The
following passage is really very felicitously descrip-
tive of

The memorable year 1843, however, was the year
of O'Connell's mot gigantic efforts of agitation, the
year of the monster meetings, and of the indictment
leading to his trial and incarceration. During nine
months in that year he convened twenty-eight mon-
ster meetings, collecting together about 5,000,000
souls, travelling himself over a distance of 5,104
miles, and deli.ering innumerable speeches ! Here is
Mr. John O'Connell's statement (a statement, from
our own knowledge, anything but overcoloured) re-
specting
THE LIBERATOR'S POPULARITY.

"In the summer of that year I accompanied him to
the county of Clare, when going to his new election.
All down the line of road from Dublin to Limerick his
progress was a continued triumph. The popular posse
comitatus' turned out at every mile of the way; and the
post horses, where not actually impeded by thronging
thousands lying in wait for us,. were urged on trom
stage to stage by the shouting and running of the peop`e,
instead of the traditionary red.hot poker which figures in
the well known pictures of 'Posting in Ireland.'
" To those who witnessed for the first time (as I then
did) one of these progresses' of Mr. O'Connell, the
scene was most excising and curious indeed. Literally
the whole count/ y turned out! By some extraordinary
instinct or other, some carrying of the matter by the
birds of the air, his approach, even when his journeys
were most unpremeditated, and in no way previously an-
nounced (because often not previously resolved upon),
the population of the districts through which he was to
pass came to know of his journey; and from not merely
the cabins and fields close to the line of road, but from
those distant a mile and upwards—in short, from every
point whence there was the least chance of arriving in
time to salute him in passing—men, women, and child-
ren, were to be seen running at the top of their speed,
and waving hats and fragments of garments, or green
boughs, shouting all the while at the top of their voices.
" The poor old women used particularly to attract my
father's attention. Some few of them, throwing aside
for the moment their load of years, used to skip and
jump as merrily as the joungest there, and join the
screech with their cracked voices, greatly to the amuse-
ment of the impertinent youngsters of the crowd. But
the majority dropped upon their knees as the carriage
approached, and raising their aged eyes and hands to
heaven, were to be heard praying fervently, and invoking
blessings and mercies upon the man who was labouring
to upraise a fallen nation, and to vindicate an oppressed
creed.

" The object of their prayers ever seemed most pro-
foundly affected by these scenes; and I have often heard
him say that he valued one prayer of these poor old
creatures more highly and deeply than the proudest
honour which this world can conft r." _ _ _

As to our author's personal opinion of the character
of Daniel U'Connell, he confesses that "it is not for
him to speak in eulogy." " His deeds," he continues,
"are before the world; and it is for posterity to
pronounce upon them, when the heats, jealou-
sies, passions, and prejudices of the present
time shall have passed away." Even the bitterest of
the opponents of that great man cannot but regard
the atkctionate and respectful language in which he
is ever mentioned by his son, with the reverential
silence .due to domestic grief and filial tender-
ness. Many of the letters addressed to him by
the Liberiktor are introduced among these " Recollec-
tions "—letters breathing the warmth of paternal
fondness, and written in the heat of the busiest
moments. Even the most trivial details are pre-
served, as where O'Connell gives all his elaborate
directions respecting the "post," numbering each in
succession ; as thus, Vol. I. p. 318—
" Ist. Get my copy of the Dublin Evening Post, di-
rected to Limerick.

"3d. Give similar orders respecting The Sun.
"7th. Send me one Tablet to Darrynane.
" Bth. Send me ' Humphrey's Clock' tomorrow to
Limerick, &c." . _

Mr. John O'Connell speaks out boldly enough upon
the English press, and its treatment of Ireland. Oar
readers will be interested with the following dashing
allusion to ourselves and our contemporaries—
" The tone and manner of the attack may vary, but
he substance is ever the same. Whether in the brick-
bat and bludgeon style of the 'limes, the dulled and
clouded sarcasm of the fading Examiner, the uncompro-
mising and heartless harshness of the Mcrning Chronicle,
the inveterate virulence of the Post and Standard, the same
diluted Pith twaddle in the mopping and mowing Morn-
ing Herald, the official impertinence of the Observer and
Globe, the Muago-Nlalagrowtherism of the Spectator,
the pandering to anti-Irish prejudice and bigotry of the
half-Radical, half-Tory Economist—the matter is still the
same—dislike, ridicule, and contempt for Irishmen and
Irish things; and evidences of a disposition, more or less
developed, and more or less self-acknowledged, to
consider Ireland but as a conquered and mutinous pro-
vince, and not as an important member of the confederacy
that gives name and being to the British Empire.
" The Daily News and The Sun are nearly, if not
altogether alone, in moderation of language, and consi-
leration of bearing towards Ireland. True, there are
:lines when the prevailing fever carries even them away,
Ind Irishmen and their country must only bend the
pack for the blow in humble submission. But often a
redeeming, a truly liberal and manly article, shines out
a either paper; all 'the more valuable and welcome
from the powerful contrast with the tone and matter of
he scribblings of their contemporaries."
A. strange variety of subjects is treated of in these
volumes. One while we have a " true history" of the
long-talked-of “Lichfibld House Compact." Another
we have—marvellous to relate !—some very sensible
.trictures, from Mr. John O'Connell (of all peoplein
the world), on the clearing of the galleries of the
[louse of Commons I Here he insists upon the ab-
surdity of not placing Irish and English barristers
upon a common footing as to the power to exercise their
profession in either country indiscriminately. Here,
again, in one part he calls Mr. Macaulay's recently
published " History of England" (I. 161) " a
great Whig party pamphlet ;" and in another
(11. 321), exclaims, in allusion to the same work—
" as a Catholic, I enter protest against it for gross
sectarian bigotry undeniably visible, under all the
assumption of candour and historic truthfulness; and
the general reader has a right to complain, when he
finds himself called upon to accept, as accurate recitals
of historic events, details and facts warped and co-
loured by the party feelings of the day." Sometimes
the Hon. Member for Limerick is guilty of Hiberni-
eisms in his book as glaring as those recurring in his
speeches. Instance the former, where he writes
(Vol. 1., p. 283)—" The railroad in question is now
made and in operation eleven or twelve years." Ge-
nerally speaking, however, the volumes are as agree-
able in composition as they are delightful for their
tone of drollery. Even in quoting from another Mr.
John O'Connell cannot resist the nudge of a note of
admiration, or a chuckle in italics, as where he quotes
from a French newspaper, in a description of a stormy
debate in the Commons, that while some Members
yelled and hissed, and imitated all sorts of animals—
"d'autres ont riffles avec leurs cles jusqu'a rextermina-
tion" M. Altogether Mr. John O'Connell has, in
these two volumes, produced one of the most amusing
works of the season, and one which will prove valuable
to the future historian of Ireland.

r PROGRESS OF MANNERS.

(From Eliza Cook's Journal)
Those who have listened at any time to the fervent
appeals of that noble band of social reformers and
elevators, the apostles of Temperance, may not im-
probably have been impressed with the belief that ins
temperance was rolling onwards like a Deluge, and
engulphing in its fatal waves all that remained of the
virtue, morals, and religion of our country. The
picture they draw must be confessed to be a very
black one, and in too manyfrespects, alas! it has been
but too faithful. Let it be confessed, however, that there
is also a brighter side to the picture, which it is well,
occasionally, to bring to light ; and it is this, that
although drunkenness is still frightfully prevalent, it
is, nevertheless, steadily on the decrease. This, we
think, there are abundant facts enough to prove.
Any one who knows what was the ordinary social
life of the middle classes of Great Britain fifty or sixty
years ago, and compares it with the social life of the
present day, will at once concede that Temperate
Habits have made great and unequivocal progress
among us. There are now none of the drunken
orgies practised either at public dinners or private
dpaorete
sinsotwhich

are unable to sit upright. The writer remembers
when it was an ordinary practice among the farmers, in
a particular district, for the master of the house to
get up from the table after the cloth was removed
and the drinking materials were placed on the table,
and lock the dour, putting the key in his pocket. No
such barbarous practice would be tolerated now-a-
days in any class of society. The'guest does not now
consider it a reflection on the hospitality of his enter-
tainer that he has been allowed to rise sober from his
table ; nor is drunkenness any longer recognised as a
manly or reputable practice. We do not boast as we
did of our " six-bottle men." The grosser forms of
intemperance, as a feature of our social entertain-
ments, have, indeed, become obsolete. In the best
classes, intoxicating drinks are every day falling into
greater disuse, and in some of the most recherche
parties of the metropolis, iced water is the strongest
beverage, placed on the table. Men and women have
found wa) a and means of enjoying a rational evening
together without the employment of artificial stimuli.
This progress has been general amongst the middle
and upper classes in all parts of the country during
the last century. Take the picture which Macaulay,
gives of the country Squire of the seventeenth cen-
tury, and contrast the immense distance between him
and his modern representative:—
" His chief pleasures were commonly derived from
field sports and from an unrefined sensuality. Ills lan-
guage and pronounciation were such as we should now
expect to hear only from the most ignorant clowns. His
oaths, course jests, and scurrilous terms of abuse, were
uttered with the broads:A accents of his province. His
table was loaded with coarse plenty; and guests were
cordially welcomed to it. But, as the habits of drinking
to excess was general in the class to which he belonged,
and as his fortune did not enable him to intoxicate large
assemblies daily with claret or canary, strong beer was
the'ordinary beverage. The quantity of beer consumed
in those days was, indeed, enormous. For beer, then,
was to the middle and lower classes, not only all tbat
beer now is, but all 'that wine, tea, and ardent spirits
now are. It was only at great houses, or on great occa-
sions, that foreign drink was placed on the board. The
ladies of the house, whose business it had commonly
been to cook the repast, retired as soon as the dishes
had been devoured, and left tt.e gentlemen to their ale
and tobacco. The coarse jollity of the afternoon was
often prolorged till the revellers were laid under the
table."

At a more remote date, the social practices of the
English country gentlemen were still worse. William
of Malmesbury, who wrote in the days of Henry IL,
says, " that the English were universally addicted to
drunkenness, continuing over their cups day and
night, keeping open house, and spending the income of
their estates in riotous feasts, where eating and
drinking were carried to excess, without any elegance."
How unlike is this picture to that of the modern
English country gentleman, the model of manners,
and the pattern of his neighbourhood !
Down to a comparatively recent period, the same
practices prevailed among the Irish country gentle.
men, of which many curious instances may be found
in Barrington's " Sketches of his own Times," and
Dr. Madden's " Ireland thirty years ego." A writer
in the Dublin University Magazine thus depicts the
old usages among the higher classes in Ireland :
" The rule ofsdrinking was, that no man was allowed
to leave the company till he was unable to stand,
and then he might depart if he could walk. If on
any occasion a guest left the room, bits of paper were
dropped into his glass, intimating the number of
rounds the bottle had gone, and on his return he was
obliged to swallow a glass for each, under the penalty
of so many glasses of salt and water. It was the
practice of some to have decanters with round
bottoms, like a modern soda water bottle, the only
contrivance in which they could stand being at the
head of the table before the host. Stopping the
bottle was thus rendered impossible, and every one
was obliged to fill his glass at once, and pats the
bottle to his neighbour, on peril of upsetting the con-
tents on the table." The writer goes on to state that
on one occasion two individuals of such a party
" stole away," and ran out into the park, where they
concealed themselves among the deer, and so passed
the night. " Towards morning they returned to the
house, and were witnesses of an extraordinary pro-
cession. Such of the company as were still able to
walk had procurred a flat-backed car, on which they
heaped the bodies of those who were insensible ; then
throwing a sheet over them, and illuminating them
with candles, like an Irish wake, some taking the
shafts of the car, and others pushing behind, and all
setting up the Irish cry, the sensible survivors left
their departed insensible friends at their respective
homes !" For this and similar vices and follies, the
Irish landlords are now paying a fearful penalty.

THE VACANT DIOCESE OF LLANDAFY.—Last
evening a public meeting of Welchmen resident in
London was held in the Freemasons' Tavern, to take
into consideration the desirableness of taking measures
for securing the appointment of a native of the Princi-
pality to the vacant diocese of Liandaff. Mr. Benjamin
Lawrence presided, and the meeting was addressed by
Mr. Gwmcwr, Mr. Owen Rowland, Dr. Evans, Mr.
Meredith, Mr. William Thoinas, the Rev. R. Jones, the
Rev. M. Davis, the Rev. Charles Phillips, Mr. James,
and other gentlemen. It was stated that since the
House of Brunswick had reigned in this country no
Welchman had ever been promoted to a Welch bishopric,
tho effect of which was, that thousands had been driven
out of the Church, and had joined the ranks of the Dis-
senters. Wales had a national right to a Welch bishop,
and there only plan was to demand such an appointment
at the hands of the Premier. Tho present system was
destructive alike to the people of Wales and to the
Church itself. Resolutions which affirmed the desirable-
ness of the appointment of a native of Wales to the
vacant see having been adopted, a memorial to that effect
was drawn up for presentation to Lord John Russell.
A committee was appointed for the purpose of waiting
upon his Lordship, to ascertain his views upon the
matter.
THE HOP DUTY.—We are happy to inform our
agricultural readers that the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer has been induced to consent to the postponement of
the payment of the second moiety of the _hop duty for
1848, until November, 1849, upon the planters giving
bond for its due payment at that period ; and we con-
gratulate the united deputation upon the fact that they
have done good service in persuading the Minister to
forego, for the present, this governmental demand,
which, in the existing
saint() of agricultural depression,
would cause a great embarrassm.nt to many, and
a serious inconvenience to all hop-planters.— Worcester

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
YORK, NEWCASTLE, AND BERWICK.
The delegates appointed at the several meetings of
shareholders which were held at London, Liverpool,
Manchester, York, and fourteen other places, on Fri-
day, the 12th instant, assembled, with the members
of the committee of investigation, at Lockwood's
Hotel, York, on Wednesday, the 17th instant, for the
purpose of considering and: determining on the proper
persons to be recommended to the general meeting of
shareholders for election as the future directors of this
company.
Mr. H. S. Thompson, of Moat-hall, was elected
chairman.
_ _

The LORD MAYOR, as chairman of the committee
of investigation, directed the attention of the meeting
to certain imputations made by Sir John Easthope to
the effect that the committee of investigation had
formed a scheme for creating an office for one of their
own number, as managing director of the company,
which the committee most emphatically denied, and
he called upon Sir John Easthope for his authority
for such imputaticns.
After some discussion, Sir JOHN EASTKOPE totally
disavowed any imputation on the honour of the
committee, and any report which conveyed such im-
pression.

The following summary of answers by shareholders,
up to the 16th inst., to the questions sent out by the
committee of :investigation, was then produced :
Answers received from 2,024 shareholders, holding
158,250 shares :—Approve that the number of direc-
tors be eight, 1,928 shareholders, representing 148,788
shares ; disapprove, 96 shareholders, representing
9,462 shares ; in favour of one managing director, 696
shareholders, representing 54,095 shares; in favour of
two managing directors, 15 shareholders, representing
736 shares ; in favour of three managing directors,
977 shareholders, representing 65,068 shares ; against
the appointment of a managing director, 44 share-
holders, representing 6,398 shares ; approve of pro-
posed allowance to ordinary directors, 1,782 share-

holders, representing 127,820 shares; do not give a

senting 30,425 shares.

Moved by Sir JOHN EASTHOPE, seconded by Mr.
PHILLIPS, and resolved unanimously, that this meet-
ing approves of the number of directors being eight.
The delegates then proceeded to consider the proper
persons to be recommended as directors, and dis-
cussed the qualifications of the several gentlemen
who were proposed. Such of them as were present
at the meeting retired during the discussion.

At the termination of the discussion a vote was
taken, when the following eight gentlemen were
found to have been recommended as the new board of
directors, by having the largest number of votes :
G. Leeman, York ; J. Leechman, Glasgow ; Duncan
M'Laren, Edinburgh; W. Lloyd Wharton, Dry-
burn, near Durham; John Kipling, Darlington; J.
Hodgson, Newcastle • N. Plews, Darlington; AL
Rutherford Hunter, Newcastle.

Mr. Thompson having been obliged to leave the
chair to attend another engagement, the same was
taken by the Lord Mayor.
A discussion arose upon the question of the ap-
pointment of managing directors. Some of the de-
legates objected to the authority of the meeting to
consider that question, and declined voting. It was
eventually decided that the question of such appoint-
ment be delayed until the half-yearly meeting in
February next. The committee of investigation did
not vote on this question. The proceedings then
terminated.

GOOD EXAMPLE FUR PARISH AUTHORITIES.—TIIO
churchwardens of St. Margaret's and St. John's, West-
minster, were on Saturday served with a notice from
the Board of Health in reference to the Christ Church
burial ground in the Broadway, which is the joint ceme-
tery of those parishes, requiring that no interments
should hereafter take place except under specified regu-
lations as to depth and width of graves, and also that the
whole surface of earth should be covered with three
inches of quicklime. The churchwardens forthwith
summoned a vestry, which was held on Tuesday, and it
was then immediately admitted that in the overcrowded
state of this ground it would be quite impossible to
comply with the regulations, and that the order was in
fact a virtual closing of the churchyard for interments.
One individual only was disposed to " fight the Board of
Health;" but such a suggestion found no seconder, and
it was unanimously resolved that the churchwardens
should immediately have the ground covered with
quicklime as ordered, and that no more inter-
ments should take place, and the rectors and church-
wardens were requested, by a vote of the vestry,
to make such provision for interments as should
be requisite until the meeting of Parliament, when
it was hoped that some general measure for pro-
viding cemeteries for the metropolis would be introduced
by the Government. We trust this sensible proceeding,
which stands in honourable contrast to the conduct of
others, may havo its due weight with parish officers in
general.
SIR. JOHN FRANRLIN.—BEHRING STRAITS EXPE-
DITION.—We stated two months since that her Majesty's
ship Herald, Captain Kellett, C. 8., had left Wooahoo,
Sandwich Islands, on the 19th of May, for Petropau-
iazski and Batting's Straits. Another letter from
the Sandwich Islands states that she left with a full

supply of provisions for herself and her Majesty's ship
Plover, Commander Moore; the Captain (Kellett), °dicers,

_ .
and crew, in good health and spirits. Whilst we are
anxiously watching for Sir John Franklin at one entrance,
we still think it possible he may emerge at the other, in
which case it is satisfactory to know that he will find

ample relief provided for him by the Admiralty.
BOOKSELLERS' PROVIDENT INSTITUTION.—Yester-
day evening a meeting of the directors and members of
the above institution was held at the committee-rooms,
in Paternoster-row, for the transaction of general busi-
nese. The report stated that the affairs of the insti u-
don continued to progress favourably. Relief to the ex-
tent of 3551. had been afforded to a number of sick and
distressed retail booksellers and assistants, as well as to
their widows, during the past year. During the same
period 7501. 13s. 11d. had been added to the permanent
fund, which now reaches nearly 18,0001., in the hands
of the commissioners for the reduction of the national
debt. The income of the year, from donations, sub-
scriptions, and interest, was 1,280/. 163.; the expendi-
ture, inAuding investments, left a balance in hand of
621. 17s. 2d. _

- .
DIA.STER BOOT AND SHOEMAKERS' PROVIDENT
AND BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION.—Last evening a meet-
ing of the members of the above institution, for affording
relief to aged and decayed members, their widows end
orphans, was held at the Freemason's Tavern; R. Taylor,
Esq., in the chair. The report stated that the committee
had purchased a plot of ground at Mortlake, Surrey, and
are engaged in the erection of an asylum for aged mem-
bers. There are now eight annuitants on the funds, the
males receiving 201., and the females 15/. per annum.
The subscriptions and donations fur the past year, toge-
ther with dividends, was 3091. I Is. Id., whilst the expen-
diture, including 1211. 133. 4d. paid to the then six
annuitants, left a balance.of 12/. ss. 9d. The annuity
fund invested was 2,2001. The asylum when complete

will contain 25 habitations:
Sr. MARY•LE-STRAND.—LaSt evening a public
meeting of the vestry and inhabitants of this parish was
held at the Vestry-room, Church-court, for the purpose
of receiving the report of a committee appointed on the
sth instant, relative to a successor to Mr. Trewhitt, who
had held the office of vestry-clerk upwards of 34 years,
and had now resigned. The chair was occupied by
Senior Churchwarden Ralph. Mr. Churchwarden
Stacey read the report of the committee. It briefly
recapitulated the duties of the vestry-clerk, recom-
mended that he should be elected annually, and.
that the salary be fifty guineas a year, including
all law and other charges. On the motion of Mr.
Young, seconded by Mr. Lowe, the report was agreed
to. The vestry then proceeded to receive the names
of candidates for the vacant office. These were stout'
to he Mr. Isaacson, vestry-clerk of St. Clement Danes,
Mr. Score, Mr. Murrough, and Mr. Yonge ; in the
course of a sederunt of two hours which ensued, the fol-
lowing various steps were taken :—Mr.-Pay nter moved,
and Mr. Warren seconded, that no vestry clerk of
another parish shou'd be eligible. Mr. Smart moved as
an atnendmeut, Mr. Helen seconded, and Mr. Glenny
supported, that every person should be eligible. Amend-
ment lost by a large majority, and motion carried by 28
to 15. Mr. Glenny then gave notice that he should poll
the parish, which would render it necessary to pay a
new rate prior to the election. A gentleman next
observed that they had met to receive the names of
candidates, and the four gentlemen above-named were
then duly nominated. Mr. Glenny hereupon said he
did not wish to put the parish to expense, and he
should move, therefore, that the election take place
next Thursday, no candidate being predetermined to be
ineligible. After an interminable discussion this motion
was agreed to, so that the first resolution was, in effect,
_ _

ST. LEONARD, SHOREDITCH.—Yesterday a vestry
meeting of the inhabaant ratepayers of this parish was
held in the vestry-room attached to the church, for the
purpose of considering the expediency of choosing a
churchwarden, in the place of the late Mr. Thomas
Brooks, when after some conversation, Mr. John Aircy,
of Iligh-street, Shoreditch, grocer, was chosen.
Mr. Thomas Edward Lytton, son of Sir Edward
Bulwer Lytton, Bart., has been appointed an unpaid
attache to the British Embassy at Washington, United
States.
TUE NATIONAL GALLERY.--li is generally under-
stood that St. George's Barracks, at Charing•cress,
situate directly behind the National Gallery, will be
discontinued at the end of two years from this time, and
that a large addition to the latter building will be erected
on their site.

HEALTHY HAMPTON.—A correspondent informs us
that "we have now three persons lying dead hero
(Hampton) of the united ages of 270 years; two ladies,
one 94, the other 92, and one gentleman 84 years, show-
ing what a healthy place this must be."
THE FLORIN.—The new two-shilling piece, known
as the " florin," is not about to be called in because of
the words " Dei Gratis." In consequence of the dissa-
tisfaction expressed by a large portion of the public at
the omission, the Chancellor of the Exchequer ordered
a search for precedents of such omission. The result
has been that some most interesting details en the sub-
ject of the coinage of these realms have been brought
forth. It would appear that no example was discovered
of the omission of the words before mentioned from any
of the silver coins, but many examples of the omission
were found as regarded the copper coinage. The words
" Fidei I)efensor" have also been omitted. It further
appears that " Dei Gratia" was not used on any of the
English copper money from the Restoration till 1797,
and also that " Fidei Deieilsor" was not used for the
whole of that period. Charles the Second, William the
Third, and Mary, George the First and George the
Second, omitted the words from copper coins. The
rupee and other coins in India merely have the words
" Victoria, Queen."
DESPERATE CONDUCT OF A CONVICT.—WOOL-
WICH, OCT. 13.—A gang of convicts were employed
this morning in unloading a cargo of cosh from the Le-
gatus, collier, lying alongside the wharf
Henryall at the
dockyard, when one of the convicts, named H New.
ton, conducted himself in such an idle manner
convictsannerthatwhhoe
would
neither work himself nor allow
were willing to work to perform their duty. Mr. Bruton,
the guard iu charge of the gang, remonstrated with the
convict Newton ou the impropriety of his conduct, but
instead of expressing regret or setting to work, he com-
menced throwing coals at Mr. Allen, the mate of the
vessel, and on being ordered to desist by the guard he
also threw coals at him; and when the guard went up
to him be drew his knife and threatened to stab him,
and swore he would not work, nor should the highest
authorities in the kingdom compel him. With the aid
of the sentry he was removed to the ship, and again
threatened to stab the guard. When on board the
Warrior they attempted to take the knife from him, but
they were not able to do so until ho had stabbed himself
in lour places. The wounds are not considered fatal,
although one of them is said to have punctured the
lungs. _ _

kr. and Mrs. Heald arrived at Barcelona on the
Bth, and were to leave on the 10th for Cadiz. The
Fomento says that Mr. Heald's health was not good, and
it adds that Lola Montes cannot speak Spanish.
The report on the accident in the sewer at Kenil-
worth-street, read at the meeting of the Commissioners
of Sewers on Wednesday, was signed by Mr. Philips,
the chief surveyor, and assistant-surveyors Lovick and
Gotto; but the signature of Mr. Lovick was accidentally
omittd from the document as given in the morning
papers of yesterday.
THE LATE WILLIAM WARD, ESQ.—We have to
record with deep regret the death, by malignant cholera,
of William Ward, Esq., an eminenttironmaster of this
district. The pestilence had successively destroyed the
lives of Mr. Ward's old servant who got up his railway
orders, his furnace manager, his head engineer, and,
finally, the estimable proprietor himself.—Worcester
Chronicle.

On Friday, a fine cock thrush was observed to
alight on the telegraphic wire 3 at Leeds, and instantly
to fall dead to the ground.
