REFORM---- TITHES. -- The A TLAS (the
largest Newspaper in the Kingdom), continues to be the
fullest record of the proceedings in Parliament. Next
Sunday it will contain, in full, the New Reform Bill—the
Debstes on the Second Reading of that measure—and the
Analysis of ,the Tithe Question in both flouses. The first
Edition is published on Saturday afternoon in time for
post. —Atlas Office, Strand, Dec. 14.

THE BISHOPS.—It is in very current report
at the west end 9( the town, that the Bishops intend to
" rat," on the division nu the new Reform Bill—at least,
that these who will not vote for it, will absent themselves,
and not give their proxies against it. The fact is, that the
stimulant to the opposition exhibited by the Rev. Bench
on the last division, is now wanting—namely, the expecta-
tion of turning out the Ministry. This they are now
convinced is beyond their power, and therefore they will
naturally soon aecommodate.themselves to " existing eir-
comstances."—Stamford Champion.
DEATH OF SIR WILLIAM SCARLETT.---
JAMAICA, OCT. is our painful duty to record the
death of our highly-esteemed and respected Chief Justice,
Sir WILLIAM SCAMLETT. He had been for some time
labouring under ill health, and had removed himself and
family to the mountains of Manchester for change of air,
hut even there insidious death met him. While with pa.
rental fondness—whilst indulging a hope of witnessing his
son's restoration to health, and administering that solace
which none but a parent can eatimatt—the fiat was pro-
nounced, and he exchanged mortality for immortality. As
a barrister his talents were well known; as a Judge he
was unequalled in this colony ; and those who were ready
to condemn will now admit his impartiality, his love of
justice, his beneficence, his unostentatious moral worth.
The annals of the courts of judicature, the affection of his
friends, the respect of the community, and the general
gloom which the report of his death occasioned, bear ample
testimony of the character he long supported. He (lied
yesterday morning.

CAPTURE OF SWING.—It is reported in
the city that Government has made an important disco-
very respecting the incendiaries in the country ; that in-
telligence was received early in the week from East Grin-
stead of such a nature as to induce the authorities to
dispatch two officers in a post-chaise and four by the way
of Croydon, and another by the way of Lewisham ; the
latter had not proceeded far beyond Lewishatn when they
met with the object of their pursuit, two well-dressed men
in a dashing one-horse chaise. When they had passed, the
officers ordered their carriage round, keeping the chaise in
view till near the Green Man turnpike, Kent-road, when
they ordered the post boys to drive furiously past the
chaise, to stop in the middle of the one passage, calling
out to the toll-collectors to shut the other. The two gen-
tlemen in the gig immediately leapt out and tried to make
their escape, but they were secured by the activity and
promptitude of the officers, and one lodged in the toll-
house, the other in the cage. Such is the account given
to us by a respectable inhabitant of the neighbourhood.

A serious accident occurred yesterday morn-
ing to Mrs. M'KENzris, an elderly lady, and her daugh-
ter, a young lady aged about twenty years. It appears
that while they were proceeding along the New-road,
Rrgent'a Park, in a chaise, their horse took fright at a
plumed hearse which was passing, and went off at full
speed. Miss M'KENztE unfortunately, in attempting to
leap out, was checked by the foot-rng, and fell with her
face downwards, which was much lacerated. Mrs.
M'KEszIE kept her seat until thrown out by the chaise
coming in contact with a cart, which broke it to pieces.
She was much injured, and both were conveyed home to
their residence, in George street, Hampstead-road.

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT AT WEDNES..
BURY, NEAR, Matictritsmt.—Tuesday morning, about
eleven o'clock, a most shocking accident happened at the
extensive gas-tube-works of JAMES RUSSELL, Esq., in
this town. That part of the manufactory occupied with
machinery for welding the gas-tubes fell in with a tremen-
dous crash, owing to a large quantity of iron, which was
placed outside the wall, forcing it in ; the roof and all the
iron fell upon the men and boys who were at work. JOHN
Lova, a boy, was killed upon the spot, his body cut and
mangled in a dreadful manner. THOMAS RATiiBONE, a
young man, was likewise cut and bruised very much, and
died almost as soon as he was taken home. JosErn DIN-
SEY, another bay, is also very much bruised, and one of
his thighs broken to pieces shockingly, so that he is not
expected to live. THOMAS SMITH is also hurt very much,
but hopes are entertained that he will recover. The build-
ing has been giving way some time, owing to the bad state
of the ground, which had been broken up some years ago,
and the coal and stop niines worked out. RATHBONE,
who was a fine young man, was to have been married at'
Christmas.

SMITHFIELD CLUB CAT lii SHOW. -

(FROM CORRESPONDENTS.)

The thirty-third Christmas adjudication of Prizes for fact
Cattle was yesterday made at those excellent premises in Gos_
well.street, styled the Show-yard. We are informed this Na.
tional Fat Cattle Club have held nearly thirty annual shows at
this Repository, which, being covered in from the weather, is
admirably adapted to such a purpose.
The Stewards, viz., Mr. Samuel Bennett, of Beckering
Park; Mr. Jos. Kitelee, of Castlethorpe ; and Mr. Charles
Stokes, of Kingston, with the Officers of the Club, devoted the
whole of Tuesday last in classing the many ponderous animals ;
and we find their general arrangement of the whole exhibition
this'year reflects much credit on them as regards the public ac-
commodation. This will be gratifying news to those who an-
nually attend ; for, although the yard is so spacious, it is usually
crowded with visitors for hours to an annoying excess.

The of of gold and silver medals, with some additional
prizes, supported by so patriotic and devoted a President, seems
to have added much additional attraction to breeders and
graziers in every part of the kingdom, each having sent their
very best animals (which have gained the prizes at their local
shows) up to this great national exhibition, to try (as we may
term it) to win the Derby—in the metropolis.
Lord Viscount Althorp, in company with his Grace the
Duke of Richmond, F. Lawley, Esq., M.P., and others, were
observed in the show-yard soon after seven o'clock yesterday
morning, surrounded by the officers and a group of practical
breeders and graziers. His Lordship and his Noble Guest ex-
pressed themselves much gratified to see such an excellent show.
The Noble President examined into the individual merits of
each animal with as much care and earnestness of heart as
though he were himself deciding the prizes. His Lordship's
assiduous attention to the business affairs of the Club, as well as
to agriculture generally, seems to have gained the respect of the
Members beyond mere votes of thanks, for we were fortunate
enough to learn, that a few months ago some of the Members
intimated a desire to testify their gratitude of his Lordship's
services by the presentment of a piece of plate. It was soon
found that their enthusiasm ran high, which caused the subscrip-
tions to be limited to one guinea each.

A magnificent piece of plate, we learn, has been executed by
the first artists, from designs appropriate to the occasion, and
which will be presented to his Lordship, while surrounded by
the members and their friends, at their annual dinner ; there-
fore we must reserve further remarks respecting this interesting
subject at present.

It seems to be the prevailing opinion that this is, speaking ge-
nerally, a very good show. There are some very superior ani-
mals, particularly in Classes I, and VI.
The three Judges arrived at the yard about nine o'clock, just
after his Lordship and party had left, viz. Mr. Thomas Chapman,
grazier, of Stoneleigh, near Coventry; Mr. Francis Breedon,
grazier, of Saddington, near Market Harborough ; and Mr.
Edward Clarke, grazier, of Canwick, near Lincoln. They made
their award of the prizes to the numbers placed over the animals,
while in total ignorance as to whom they belonged. The Judges
did not complete their decision until a late hour. The labels
were put up during the night, from which we were enabled to
extract as follows :
