The Marquis and Marchioness of Hastings, Baro-
ness Grey de Ruthyn, have arrived at Loudon Castle, Ayr-
shire, on a visit to the Dowager Marchioness. His Lordship
will return to Donnington Park, Ashby-de-la- Zouche, for the
hunting season.

A surgeon at Madeley, some time ago, produced
his book of debts to some of the temperance friends, exhibiting
accounts to the amount of 1,3001., owing to him by different
persons, out of which, it appeared, 3001. were paid for natu-
ral and accidental causes ; all the rest was was the result of
drunkenness.
The absconding of a factor in hardware a week
ago, who left behind him a deficit of two millions of francs,
has caused numerous failures in tile trade, four having lately
been declared. There is also a difficulty in the watch and
clock trade, one house well known having declared a deficit
of 400,000 f.
The cholera is said to have been brought into
Ancona by merchants coming from Trieste to a fair held at
Ancona, instead of at Senegaglia, the change having been
made this year as a precautionary measure.—French Paper.
Letters from Demerara state that provisions are
extravagantly dear. Mutton, and that but indifferent sells at
20d. per pound ; potatoes a halfpenny each ; a good turkey
20s. ; a small duck 2s. 6d.
Autumn quarter commences this day, after a sum-
mer much more favourable to vegetatiori than was anticipated
in the last bleak spring. Ploughing- has commenced in the
agricultural counties, where the corn has been saved in the
best condition during the favourable weather.
THEATRICAL FRACAS.—Wednesday afternoon,
between two and three o'clock, a fight took place in the green-
room of Madame Vestris's theatre, between Mr. Hooper, the
treasurer, and Mr. W. Vining, one of Madame Vestris's prin-
cipal comedians. Several rounds were fought from the room
to the street door in Craven-buildings, Drury-lane, when the
latter was ejected from the passage to the pavement, appa-
rently severely punished. Madame and some friends inter-
fered, and in a few minutes afterwards peace was restored.
The origin of the quarrel is not ascertained.
The Mayor of Hull has sent in his resignation as a
member of the Hull Reform Association, on the ground that,
as he shall be called upon to revise the municipal burgess lists
next month, it is necessary that he should not only be impartial,
but should preclude the suspicion of partiality.
The" Birmingham and Midland Reform Association
have published an address explanatory of their objects, which
are stated to be to render the Reform Act complete and con-
sistent by an extended suffrage—the abolition of pecuniary
qualifications in Members of Parliament—the ballot and short
Parliaments, and also to effect a decided change in the House
of Lords. The address concludes thus :—" The organisation
of the people for such a display of their influence as may ob-
tain for them, not only these essential changes, but a searching
and thorough Reform, local as well as national, in every de-
partment of the State and of the Church, is the grand aim and
end of the Birmingham and Midland Reform Association.
It was from Birmingham that the first breaking went forth of
that happy dawn of freedom which the nation enjoys under the
great charter of 1832, and it is fitting that the full light of the
perfect day of liberty should have its origin and spring with
the men of Birmingham."
Yesterday morning a young man, a footman in the
family of -Mr. Charles Dodd, of No. 40, Queen-square,
Bloomsbury, was brought into the North London Hospital, in
Upper Gower. street, Bedford-square, labouring under the
effect of laudanum, a large dose of which he had swallowed in
some beer at a public-house in the neighbourhood of his mas-
ter's residence. The usual antidotes were administered, but
the poison was so diffused through the whole system, that it
was impossible to induce a re-action of his faculties, and after
remaining in a state of stupor for some time, he expired. The
reason of his destroying himself is not known. An inquest
will be held on the body to-morrow.

SIR W. MOLESWORTH.—The Sheffield Iris, in
alluding to the idea of bringing forward this gentleman as a
candidate for Leeds, has the following remarks :—" The Re-
formers of Leeds evince an excellent proof of their sound
judgment in their selection of Sir William Molesworth as a
candidate. This comparatively young legislator has brought
powers of mind and habits of perseverance, to the furtherance
of the public cause, which we hope will long be directed to
•the same great purpose ; and, by returning him in the place of
the Tory who now misrepresents them, the Reformers of
Leeds will earn the warm applause and thanks of their fellow-
countrymen. We take it that the Whigs cannot afford to
lose the assistance of the Radicals, in case of an election, any
more than the latter can do without the aid of the former ; a
split, therefore, would secure the return of two Tories, which,
we should think, the Whigs will hardly permit, but make a
virtue of necessity, and extend the right hand of fellowship.
The Whigs of Leeds owe much to the Radicals for past ser-
vices ; and their honesty should be put to a strict test the first
moment the opportunity is offered."
CAUTION TO NEWSPAPER AGENTS.-011 Sun-
day morning last, after the arrival of the mail at Birmingham,
it was discovered, on sorting the newspapers, that in a large
bundle, containing upwards of 1,000 copies of newspapers, a
number of posting and hand-bills, had been improperly in-
closed. The parcel was immediately weighed, and a charge
as postage made amounting to 2751.
A few years since, the Governor of the province of
Jemptland, in Sweden, containing a population of about 40,003
individuals, reported to the King that, during the preceding
year, there had not been a single person for trial within his
jurisdiction.
