IN TH SUTH OF YORKSHIRE, BORDERING UPON
THE COUNTY OF NOTTINGHAM.

The entire.ICIXNOR and LORDSHIP of ROSSINGTON, an
extensive FREEHOLD ESTATE, WOODS, and PLANTA-
TIONS, of nearly 3,000 acres, situate on the Great North
Road, 156 miles from London to York and Edinburgh, and four
miles south of the town of Doncaster.

R. TILBURN will SELL by AUCTION,
at the Mansion-house in Doncaster, on THURSDAY, the
25th day of October, at Two o'Clock, the ROSSINGTON
ESTATE, comprehending the entire Manor, Lordship, and Parish
of Rossington, the property of the Corporation of Doncaster, si-
tuate in a favourite part of the county of York, extending over
nearly 3,000 acres of fertile arable (turnip and barley soil), meadow,
pasture, and wood lands, within a ring fence, subdivided into 14
oligible farms by thriving quickset hedges. The whole of the rural
of Rossington (except the rectory) composed chiefly of
modern farm-houses, home-steads, and agricultural buildings, all
in good order and condition, well built and judiciously planned
with great coosideration to the occupancy and convenience of an old
and highly respected tenantry, with comfortable cottages and pro-
lific gardens for an iddustrious and well-regulated labouring popu-
lation. Shooters'-hill, the residence of H. F. A. Freeman,
Esq., delightfully situate, is Part of the valuable domain, approached
from its lodge on the London-road, and the mansion, though of
unassuming pretension, is full of c'9infort, presenting a neat eleva-
tion, environed by tastefully displayed plantations, gardens, plea-
sure grounds, and park like enclosures, quite a gentleman's resi-
dence, replete with all requisite domestic officer; and complete farm
buildings, for 400 acres of land attached, and let on building lease
at a low rent, with the mansion, commanding extensive and varied
scenery over the soft undulating and far spreading woods of Ros-
sington, (the town of Doncaster in view,) and closed by rising
grounds and woods in the distant horizon. Rossington Grange,
secluded by sheltering woods, and watered by the Thorne Rivulet.
On the westerly side of the estate is a highly respectable farm
residence, with capital homestead, buildings, and premises for 300
acres of land, forming altogether one of the most valuable farms
of the neighbourhood. The Inn, called the Corporation Arms, but
more generally known by the appellation of Rossington-bridge, with
its excellent accommodation, stabling for 100 horses, and spacious
farmstead and lands, is admirably situate by the high London
road on the northern boundary, and has attained, under the
present management, that well-merited reputation which its
sporting and agricultural friends are on all occasions anxious
to proclaim. The luxuriant woods and thriving plantations, pro-
verbial for their neat and healthy appearance, and the theme of
general praise, contain nearly 300 acres, yielding a very considerable
annual income, including the Hunster, Holms' Carr, and Parks'
Woods, of fine grown oak timber, which, with the other covers
upon the estate, and the approximating strictly preserved grounds
of J. Walbanke Childers, Esq., M.P., George Greaves, Esq.,
and others, and parts of the Nottinghamshire possessions of his
Grace the Duke of Newcastle, afford covert and plain shooting
equal to any in the kingdom. The vicinity of Doncaster has been
justly celebrated for its numerous seats of the nobility and gentry
and fashionable-society. . The fox-hunting excellent, the Badsworth
and Scarborough kennels close at hand,, and the Fitzwilliam and
Bramham Hunts within distance. The Manor of Rossington, with
the rights, royalties, and immunities thereunto appertaining, is co-
extensive with the lordship, and held by the Corporation of Don-
caster, by Royal grant from Henry VII. Both are of freehold
tenure ; the land-tax is redeemed, and the tithes commuted
to 614/. per annum. The present rental of the farms upon the
estate, with the woods in hand, is estimated at 3,200/. per annum. It
would be vain to attempt to describe all the advantages which this
beautiful domain Possesses. It must be seen to be fully appreciated,
and it may in truth be said to be one of the most compact and de-
sirable estates in the county, and a capital and substantial landed
investment. The advowson, or perpetual right of presentation to
the Rectory of Rossington, of the annual value of upwards of 700/.,
is in the gift of the Corporation. and will be sold subsequently under
the direction of her Majesty's Ecclesiastical Commissioners.
Descriptive particulars and plans are preparing, and may shortly
be had at the news-rooms of York, Leeds, Hull, Sheffield, Man-
chester Birmingham, Liverpool, Glasgow, and Edinburgh ; the
public libraries of Brighton, Cheltenham, and Bath ; at the Auc-
tion Mart • at Garraway's ; and of Messrs. Forbs, Hale, and

BISHOP PHILPOTTS.

Our Riglit Reverend Diocesan is a man of action. If you
want to understand his character, you must watch his move-
ments. No man is more ready at an extemporaneous prayer,
a fervent ejaculation, or a godly homily. As far as lip_
Christianity goes, he is a very saint—all meekness, humility,
and self-denial. Ever and anon his eye is upturned in pious
adoration and his voice comes broken and subdued by " the
divinity that stirs within him." These are personal accom-
plishments not always genuine—the signs and tokens of piety
that may be simulated, and have again and again been as-
sumed by crafty and designing men who find religion the rea-
diest and the most capacious cloak to hide their interested in-
tentions. We do not say that Bishop Philpotts is not sincerely
moved when we see all this pious manifestation—but we do
say that good men have been deceived by external and superfi-
cial symbols, and that bad men have frequently duped man-
kind by the assumption of a " godly exterior," as it is called,
for the furtherance of the most nefarious designs. Without
doubting the sincerity of our Sainted Prelate let us try him by
another test. _ _ _

The good Bishop opposed Catholic emancipation, and got
the rich rectory of Stanhope for his zeal for the Protestant
faith. He abandoned Protestant faith in the hour of struggle,
and obtained the conspicuous see of Exeter, as a reward for
his conversion. Probably the sainted man will deny that the
bishopric was the reward of apostacy. We shall not dispute
the point—but we shall stand on this fact, that be obtained
the bishopric very soon after he abandoned the Protestant
:faith to itcmost " inveterate assailants," and before he pro-
fessed to have repented of that unhallowed act. Here was a
direct aggrandizement of Mammon. Soon after he became
Bishop, he nominated his son to the precentorship, a good
thing worth nearly 2,000/. a year. The Dean and Chapter
would not have the young man, and then he nominated our
present Precentor, into whose two fat livings in Worcester-
shire the Bishop's son slipped, as soon as Air. Lowe was re-
ceived. Another Rev. son has been comfortably provided fur
in Cornwall we believe. We last week had to announce a
further proof of his tenderness and affection. He has a son-
in-law, a clergyman—De Bouilli by name—in whose favour
the holy man has been some time anxious to make " arrange-
ments." The Rev. Dr. Fisher died the other day. The Rev.
Dr. Collyns has been presented to the living of Farringdon,
vacated by his demise, and the Bishop's son-in-law, the highly
favoured Mr. De Bouilli steps irtto the Doctor's living of Sto-
keinteignhead. By this " arrangement," the Bishop, who is
building a house at Livermead, not far from Stokeinteignhead,
will have the society of his son-in-law, and the latter will have
snug quarters. We observe, also, that the Church Reform so
far as it has proceeded, is about to raise his income 1,000/.
a-year.

Now no one can blame the Bishop for having natural affec-
tion. But it is as well to note these things, when we hear
him setting up for a pattern saint of humility and self-denial,
and devotion. The Bishop likes the Church well, but he likes
himself and his own kith and kin better.—'Western Times.

The Bath Guardian, referring to a list of the votes
of the Members for that City, writes :—" Whatever may be
the political opinions of our readers, we are quite confident that
they will agree in considering the list as most perfect evi-
dence of a shameful disregard of the interests and opinions of
the people of this city, whether Radical, Whig, or Tory.
Whenever " our Members" did vote in the last session, they
gave votes injurious to the people ; whenever they did not
vote, they neglected their duty. Those who agree with them
in principles have the strongest grounds of complaint, and
those who oppose them have the strongest reason to condemn
their votes. We ask any impartial person whether this city
i s, at present, better off, or has more influence in the Legisla-
ture, than if it had been disfranchised and placed in schedule
Aof the Reform Bill. In another article we have incontrover-
tibly demonstrated, that the cost of the principles of our Tory
Members, to this city alone, amounts, at the present price of
corn, to upwards of 93,4371. a-year. The amount of the tax
contributed last week, by this city, to maintain the Tory and
aristocratic principles of" our representatives," was actually
noless than one thousand seven hundred and ninety-six pounds
seventeen shillings and sixpence 1 _ _ _

THE QUEEN OF FRANCE.—A writer in the New
Monthly Belle Assembles for this month gives the following
description of the appearance ef the Queen of France in the
church of St. Roch :—" The Queen was present, as she ge-
nerally is every Sunday. A few minutes previous to the com-
mencement of the sermon, her Majesty descended from her
tribune, which is to the right of the altar, attended by the
Princess Clementine, and followed by one servant in the royal
livery, to take her place among the congregation directly in
front of the pulpit. Four of the military, who walked about
the church with their hats on, were the only symptoms of the
presence of royalty. We were placed exactly opposite to the
Queen, a little to the left of the preacher, and the pure, unaf-
fected manner of her Majesty and her undivided attention to
'the discourse of the Abbe, evinced bow truly and deeply she
enters into the services of religion. Her perfectly white hair,
arranged in full curls over her fair, pale features, and the ex-
treme simplicity of her dress, alone distinguished her from the
hundreds that congregated around her. As a wife and a mo-
ther the Queen has ever been a pattern to her sex, and I be-
lieve she possesses the affection and esteem of her subjects.
" LAND-SHARKS AND SEA-GULLS."—The new
novel, under this title, by Captain Glascock, R.N., the po-
pular author of
" The Naval Sketch Book," will be imme-
diately published. The date of the story is in the stirring
times of George 111., when, both at home and abroad, the
most exciting circumstances were of frequent occurrence. The
scene shifts from London to the Channel, and to the prison
where some of our naval men suffered the
of Valenciennes,
most rigorous captivity. Of this the gallant author has given
not only vivid pictures, together with a development of the
humours of the tar (in which he is altogether unrivalled), but
has depicted to the life the state of the metropolis in those
days, including its street brawls, its midnight robberies, its
pettifogging lawyers, its sponging-houses, its whimsicalities,
and the sufferings endured in silence in its wretched recesses and
forlorn suburbs. Perpetual incident seems to have been, the
writer's aim; and he has, in particular, brought into strong
relief the then state of his own profession, the naval service.
George Cruickshank has applied, his graphic powers to the
illustration of the Captain's varied scenes.
It having been complained that the Chief Magis-
trate of Devises had been wanting in respect her Majsty's
Judges by not being present on their arrival in that towne, it is
but justice to that gentleman to state, that the Mayor waited
until past ten at night, when he was informed that his remain-
inglon,,er was unnecessary, as the
Judges would be anxious
r lodgings immediately on their arrival.— Wilt.

THE EsLINOTON EEL.—Our readers are already
aware that the Hon. Member for North Durham, Mr. Liddell,
amid ;t his various avocations, has found time to pay particular
attention to the natural history of eels—an elaborate paper on
the subject having been contributed by him to the Natural
Ilietory Society of Newcastle, and published by that body in
the last volume of its transactions. The conduct of the Hon.
Member, both as Candidate and Representative for North
Durham—as well as his previous performances in the county

LONGEVITY.—There are now living in the village
of Uton, in the parish of Crediton, where there are only
seventeen inhabitants, twelve persons whose united ages amount
to 903 years.

On Monday
afternoon, as some youths were playing
cricket in Harmer-lane-fields, the hall was lost down one of
the coal-mines. A youth named George Sykes, fourteen
years old, went down the shaft by means of a rope, as he had
often done before, for the purpose of recovering the ball.
Those above not hearing any replies to their repeated oills
became
alarmed and one of his companions went down in
search of him. The boys lowerina. the youth finding him
let go his hold of the rope, to whiclfhe was tied, pulled him
up in an insensible state, but a surgeon being sent for, anima-
tion was soon restored. The body of Sykes was brought up
about an hour after, but life was quite extinct.—Sheifield Iris.

FACTS ON THE CORN LAWS.

(From the Bolton Free Press.)
FROM A LECTURE ON THE CORN LAWS, BY
MR. W. PAULTON, AT BOULTON.
" And now let us see what the Corn Laws are doing for our
foreign trade. The landholders tell us that foreign competi-
tion is a farce ; that the muscle and ingenuity of our workmen,
with our natural advantages in coal and minerals, will more
than enable us to brave the rival manufacturers of America,
Saxony, and Switzerland. Supposing that to be the case—
which I deny—are the people to receive none of the advan-
tages of their own industry and ingenuity? Are the Corn
Laws less an evil because the people live in spite of them ?
,The landowners' maw is open for everything! What would
the coal and the minerals of the landowners have been worth,
but for the steam engines and machinery of the productive
classes ? Is landowners' law' to be perpetual, because the
people do not yet live alone upon potatoes?
In 1832 we exported double the quantity of cotton goods
we sent out in 1816, and in 1816 we got 13,072,7571. for our
exports, whilst in 1832 double the same quantity of manufac-
tures were worth only 12,622,8801. In spite of all the im-
provements in machinery and the reductions in the prices of
the raw material, it is clear, that if we received less money for
our exports in 1832 than in 1816, with an increased popula-
tion, both the profits of capital and the value of labour must
absolutely have sunk in the same proportion. And why so?
Because, increase your productive power as much as you may,
double your population if you please, and the landowners tell
you that_ you shell have no more corn for twenty ntlllions of
men o; manufactures than you had for ten. That is the plain
truth ; and so long as the Corn Laws exist your machinery is
producing wealth only for the landowner, and cotton goods
that you must consent to sacrifice to supply his table with the
costly luxuries of the world at the expense of the moral hap-
piness, physical comforts, and fireside virtue of the working
classes. Is there an honest man, or clear-sighted tradesman
amongst the master cotton-spinners or manufacturers of Bol-
ton, that can conscientiously support the Corn Laws ? Is not
every attempt to rob the working-classes an injury to, the
dealer in any one of the comforts or necessaries of life? Who
is benefitted by the Corn Laws ? The farmer is in distress ;
the agricultural labourer is little better than a pauper; the
capitabst cannot get two and a half per cent for his money ;
the shopkeeper is saving nothing ; and the working man, for
less money, is producing more than double the quantity of
goods he manufactured sixteen years ago. And all this suf-
fering, i with such a mighty wealth-creating power at work
around us, gratuitously allowed to subsist for no other end and
object than singly and solely to put a double rent in the
pockets of the landowners. , That British skill and capital,
fettered with a Corn Law, cannot long compete successfully
with the growing manufactures of the continent, 1 propose to
show by a series of facts, which, if c105.,17 examined, indicate
a crisis of fearful interest, that must eventually—if we neither
foresee its advent, nor seek to obviate its consequences—over-
whelm our commerce, and shake the very basis of society. It
is idle far a population to delude itself with a spurious national
pride, or submit to have its sufferings salved by a sop thrown
out to its prurient vanity *tile delusive policy'of an avaricious
and all-grasping aristocraCy: Facts are on the surface, and
why should we shut our eyes to them ? In 1831 Great Britain
contained 961,134 agricultural families, end 2,453,041 families
not agTicultnral : that is 718 employed in commerce and ma-
nufacteres for every 282 employed in agriculture. Is it pos.
sible fir one-fourth of the population employed in agriculture,
even ?bon the richest soil, to provide an adequate supply of
corn far the consumption of themselves and the remaining
three-fourths? Mr. Martin, the secretary of a landowners'
society, computes the whole landed proprietori of the united
kingdom at 30,000.. Whatever produce we get in return for
our exports, it is clear that so long as the Cornjopivs exist,
we can get none of'the absolute necessaries of life.„2.9' We im-
port luxuries,! : The agriculturists themselves mugeconsume
dear corn, arid pay high rents for it; therefore ever class of
'he 26,000,000 in Great Britain are positively saciifieed
limited to starvation rations, to provide luxuries arid high
rents for the 30,000. Three-fourths of our manufactures are
exported, and one half of our exports are cotton goods.
Therefore three-fourths of our buildings; machinery, and po-
pulation are occupied in providing clothing for &reign nations.
Now, if our foreign trade ceases, or is diminished, what be-
comes of cur population ? In the competitive struggle fur
employment, labour would necessarily fall in value =eh be-
low its present mark. Our imports rr.ist diminish as our ex-
ports fall off, and a fearful battle for food amongst the hUndred
thousands of unemployed and starving' labourers would raise '
the war-hoop Of revolution that could not limit its effects to the
forcible destruction of the Coru Laws, but migkt. urge on a
' frenzied people to the bloody perpetration of the wild justice
of revenge. Look not upon this
_as aksx.aggmted
oa
bility. The crisis is fast apprching, and the 'repeal of the
Corn Laws and the abolition of all monopolies can alone
prevent it.

REPRESENTATION OF THE ISLE OF WIGHT.
—What can have led to the apathy of the Reformers respect-
ing the County of the Isle of Wight ?—is a question which,
we have no doubt, will be often put—no objections having been
given to Tory voters, while on the other side all objections are
taken that are the least tenable. We heard whispers of com-
promise, which we believe to be unfounded. We know of
treachery in some who used to assume a high and influential
station, who were recommended as the best canvassers, and
who were the most severe on some of their old friends who fat-
tened in the Reform march. We shall nut this week enter
fully into the question, but on a future occasion it will be our
duty to speak out freely and boldly on the position of Reform
in the Isle of Wight. The Tories carried the County by a
small majority, under circumstances most favourable to them;
—it remains to be proved whether the Reformers will make
another struggle, or remain in their present degraded situa-
tion.—Hampshire Independent.

On the 23d ult., the wife of Mr. Page, a workman
in the employ of Messrs. Price and Washbourne, of Glouces-
ter, was safely delivered of a child. The singularity of the
circumstance was that the lady " in the straw" has a, grand-
daughter and a great grand-daughter, both cf whom were pre-
sent at the accouchement.

BENEFITS OF FREE TRADE.

(From the Report in the Scotsman of Dr. Bowring's Speech,
at a Dinner given to him on Wednesday last, at the Wa-
terloo Hotel, Edinburgh.)
It must be a great delight to an Englishman, in travelling
across the desert, to see the Arab better clad, and, on inquiry,
whence the garment came from which he wore, to End that it
came from the Clyde or the Mersey—( Loud cheers)—and
then to say to himself, " Well, this man is heteer and happier,
because there are an industrious people in distant Europe ;"
and would it not, my friends, be tar better if this feeling per-
vaded this community, and we were the more willing to re.
ceive the many excellent things they are perpetually offering us
■ in exchange ?—( Hear.) I never understood, or could under.
stand, the policy of rejecting benefits because they came
from a foreign land.—( Hear, hear.) I never could per.
ceive the wisdom of the saying, " We'll not drink excellent
wine, because the grapes grew in a French vineyard, and were
shone upon by a French sun." I know that that vineyard
was made by the Great Father both of the French and the
English people, and that the rays of that sue fall with equal
brightness and benignity on both lands. Nor do I understand
why the Frenchman should suffer his beard to annoy him, or
run the risk of cutting his throat rather than use an English
razor; for in most cases our commercial policy -may be rei
duced to this. I remember a deputation of the weavers bt
Lyons waiting upon me, when, much to their honour, they
said, " We are very uninstructed men, but viit have at
least learned this, that no man can sell ;via:but buying, or
give without getting something in exchange ; and, inasmuch as
the people of England wear silks of Lyons, we do not see
why the silks of England should not come to us." This
part of the French population helped me very much when
I was struggling with sinister interests, and endeavour..
ing to obtain a modification of the French commercial
code. This spirit, however, is spreading, and ought to
be encouraged, not only because it is a wire system,
not only because it is a good system, because it is a reli-
gious system, because it is a Christian system, but be-
cause it is also a prudent and benevolent system—prudence
which takes care of one's self, and benevolence which is wil-
ling to do good to others.—(Cheers.) I had occasion not
long ago to argue with the Viceroy of Egypt on the subject
of te Corn-laws, for Egypt was_blessed with Corn-law
lation. Tice Viceroy thought it right, in imitation of the po-
licy of this country, to impede the importation of foreign. corn.
He did not wish, he said, that his people should pity a high
price for the corn ; he should fix a maximum price, and would
punish all who sold corn above that price. I had three days
discussion with him. and am happy to say that I succeeded in
convincing him that he could not fly.. the price of corn ; that it
was unwise to prevent its general importation; and that
the Lest thing for him to do was, to leave corn to go out
and come in as the people chose. The consequence was,
that in four or five months the corn which had been selling in
November and December at Grand Cairo, to the starving
people 150 per cent. beyond its average price, not only
plentiful, but they were enabled to
export it tw
os Syria.-- (Cheering.) This is really the great secret of commercial
success. The learned Doctor then adverted to the cantons of
Switzerland, where he had found that, in spite of every natu-
ral impediment, the Swiss were the real rivals of this country
in manufactures. They could receive no raw produce but at
a very heavy expense. For their wool they were indebted to
Spain or Germany—for their silks to France or Italy—for
their flax to Russia or Holland—for their cottons to America;
yet they manufactured silks, woollens, and cottons, which
they sent to the most distant quarters of the world. And
what was the secret of this ? Why, that food could not be
taxed I—( Cheers.) They had a fundamental, a permanent
law, that, happen what would, the food of the people should
never be a subject of taxation.—(Cheers.) The result was,
that not only had a gloat trade been created for that, is his
opinion, was of secondary importance—but the people were
made happy. There was not a labourer in Switzerland of or-
dinary industry who could not, from the savings of a few
years' labour, lay by a sufficimicy for himself and family;
and whole districts, which a few centuries ago presented n).
thing but starvation, were now covered with a happy population;
and a gre it proportion of the artisans were landed proprietors.
And by what magic art, he asked, bad this been produced ?
By what mighty talismen bad a wretched people been made so
fall of enjoyment ?—Why, the established freedom of trade—
Ihat law which said that nobody should be prevented from buy-
ing what he pleased and where he pleased, and selling what he
could produce at the best market he could find.—(Great cheer.
lag.) He and others who maintained those principles had been
otter, called theorists. These were words thrown right and left,
n order to stop inquiry. But he held that they were of all
men the most practical who studied substantial and real
results—not men who dealt in vague generalities and
mere phraseology, but who went about, figures in hand,
labouring to find out the results of experience, and then
to discover the bearings of all their calculations upon the hap-
piness of the many, the happiness of all.—(Cheers.) And be
was satisfied that, however hard might be the rubs vvbitli they
had to bear, and the harsh words they had to suffer, that the
mists of ignorance which occasioned them would soon be dis-
pelled, and that popular prejudices would not long obscure
popular interests. He would safely trust that his countrymen
would not be long misled. He was sure that discussion would
advance the cause of truth, and that men would not fail in the
end to recognise their benefactors.—(Cheering.) After some
further remarks in a similar strain, the learned doctor con-
cluded by saying, that he trusted the time vas not far distant
when warring nations would be looked uponitth.thrsatne ex
with which they now lierefa warring individush, an that, in
a generation or two, war itself would he considered not only
as one of the greatest crimes, but also the greatest of follies.

WINDSOR AND THE GREAT WESTERN RAIL-
WAY.-Since the opening of the railroad between Slough and
Paddington, the number of visitors to Windsor has been
such as almost to exceed belief. It is no exaggeration to say
that for every hundred persons who visited this Royal town
prior to that event there are now a thousand—such are the
power, convenience, and economy of time and money result-
ing from locomotive travelling; and in the same proportion
must the general trade of the town and neighbourhood, espe-
cially the inns and dealers in provisions, be benefited.—
Windsor Express.
SEASONABLE HINT.—We have noticed the com-
mencement of the shooting season, and we will add one word
to the youthful as well as to the careless sportsman. Never
take a loaded gun into a house, and never load it there, and
never carry your gun in such a position as if it were to go off
it must strike a fellow creature. It will be no excuse to others
in such a case or to yourself to say, you " did not think it
would go off." No man has a right to be thoughtless that car-
ries a loaded gun. The man who does not think is deficient
in the first qualification of a sportsman. Let us also warn own
sporting reader never to carry his gun with the hammer resting
on the nipple, lest in going through a hedge, or passing by any-
thing or anybody, it should receive a blow and the gun go
Lastly never use your gun to clear away thorns in a hedge, and
never give your neighbour his gun with the muzzle pointed to-
wards him or towards yourself. And above everything; never
point even an unloaded gun at any one in sport. It may teach
others to do the same thing where a gun has been loaded with-
out their knowledge.—Northampton Herald.
PRODUCTIVE OATS.—There was shown at our
office yesterday several Inc stalks of potstoe oats, which were
taken from a field in the vicinity of the town. Some of the
stems measured in height six feet three inches, and bore from
70 to 80 pickles each. The oats are of excellent quality, and
the produce is abundant, being above an average crop.
Should the weather prove favourable, they will yield to the
sickle in the course of the ensuing; week.—Kelso Chronicle.
BRUSSELS, SEPT. I.—The opening of the section
of the iron railroad from Bruges to Ostend, took place on
Tuesday, 28th August, with great ceremony, in presence of
their Majesties, and a great number of persons of distinction.
The crowd of spectators was very great.
On Monday afternoon, about six o'clock, the launch
of a splendid new iron steam-boat took place at Mr. Hedder-
wick and Rankin's ship-building yard, a little below the
Broomielaw quay. As soon as the signal was given, she went
off in grand style, and dashed into the river amidst the shouts
of spectators. She was then towed up to the quay, where
she now lies ready to have her engines got in. She is a good
model of a steam-vessel, and is three-masted. Iron steam-
boles are now coming into great repute. We see a very large
one building by Messrs. Todd and M'Gregor, engineers,
Broomielaw quay. It is expected she will be launched thin
present season.—Glasgow Conti( r
In the Sheriff's Court at York, on Friday, an ac-
tion was tried, in which the plaintiff, Mr. James Close, sur-
geon, Leeds, sought to recover from Mr. John Beilby Par-
ker, drvsalter, late of the same place, compensation in da-
mages for the seduction of the plaintiff's wife, who eloped
with the defendant, or rather followed him to Sheffield, in
July, 1834, but returned the same evening before the plain-
tiff, who had pursued her. Some time afterwards she left
his house under pretence of going to see her aunt, a Miss
Phillips, but she went away with the defendant, and from that
day to this, though advertisements had been inserted in the
Papers, the plaintiff had not been able to trace the fugitives.
Defendant had suffered judgment to go default. Mr. Blan-
chard was counsel for the plaintiff, eel Mr. Tarvis for the de-
fendant. The damages were lahl. at 3,0001., and the jury,
after consulting for nearly an hour, gave a verdict for the
plaintiff—Damages 3501.

WELL ANSWERED.—A gentleman came to our
office yesterday to notify us that the carrier had omitted to
leave the paper at his house for one or two nights. Another
person who was in the office when he entered, bearing his
complaint remarked, " I should think friend B. that you read
newspapers enough down town without wantini, any at
home." " Very true," replied B. good humouredly, " but
my wffe and children do not subscribe to the news r00m."._.,

BARTHOLOMEW FAlR.—This revel was opened
yesterday by the Lord Mayor and his subordinates. There
was nothing new in the display, except that an itinerant
preacher endeavoured to attract a crowd from the gin-shops
End &tieing booths, by holding forth on the sinful tendency
of' such pursuits.
THE LATE FATAL DUEL.,_.The funeral of Mr.
Mirfin took place yesterday, and attracted a considerable con-
course- of spectators, The place of interment was the new
burial-ground, High street, Lambeth.
MR. COCKING'S PARACHUTE.—This machine,
which, it will be recollected, was eonfi3cated to the Crown by
the Coroner's Jury, after the fatal descent, near Lee, in Kent,
was yesterday restored to Messrs. Gye and Hughes, the pro-
prietors of Vauxhall-gardens, conditionally, it being under.

inspection.

The roads in the neighbourhood of Steyning, Sus-
sex, are made and repaired with materials taken from the old
baronial castle of Bramber; in former times we had castles
without roads; now we have roads, but no castles.
The inquest on Anderton, whose murder we men-
tioned the week before last, and which was adjourned until
Friday, terminated on that day. The only evidence tending
to bring home the perpetration of the dreadful act to the per-
son suspected, was that of Elizabeth Levick, who lived next
door to Guest. She deposed that Guest came home on the
night of the murder, and demanded of his mother where his
pistols were ; that when he went into the house the mother
fastened the door, and that being unable to aod his fire-arms,
ho seized the scylte-blade, with which the murder was com-
mitted, and, unfastening the door, he rushed out, followed by
his mother, who almost Instantly uttered a loud scream, as
Guest exclaimed, " I've cut him down." A man came up at
at the time, and said, " What the devil have you. done ? The
man meant you no harm ; you have almost killed the man."
She did not hear the deceased speak after the blow was given.
The body had been dragged a considerable distance from,
where it was cut down by the assailant, and the man was left
to perish on the roadside. The Coroner summed up the
evidence at great length, and the jury, without b.'asitation,
found a verdict of wilful murder against John Guest.—

At the Cheltenham Police-office, on Tuesday, a
young gvntleman, named Loveday, was charged with cruelly
beating an old one-armed pedlar, and nearly knocking out one
of eyes. In his defence, Mr. Loveday said that the man did
not tell him on being asked by him who.he was, and seemed
displeascal at the question being put to him. At the time he
beat him ho did not know that he was a cripple, and as ke had
a plaster put to his wound at his own expente, he hoped that
might be considered a defence to th,e. charge. The Magis-
trates, being of a differet4 opinion, fined the defendant 4/. and
costs. (714e/ien k apt ckroniele.
