R. MAJOR AND lIIS WAGER.
A smart young fellow of the name of Major
Iteselv'd one day
That he would lay
A singularly interesting wager.
The bet which Mr. Major laid was. this
(And certainly 'tis not so much amiss);
Six Overcoats were to be made
By different artistes in the trade.
The number of the Coats was not much heeded,
For, as it happen'd. they were, just then, needed.
The garments being made,
Were on a taste to be laid;
And after that an umpire was to fix
On one among the six,
And if the one selected from the rest,
As being best,
Turn'd out to be the Coat of M. and SON,
The curious wager
Of Mr. Major
Was to be view'd as honourably won.
The umpire cholen was a Mr. Grainger,
A man whose taste
Is rightly placed,
And, I would add, to this a perfsct stranger.
The time arrived, and Mr. Matthew Major
Was all agog to hear about his wager.
The friends all met, the umpire came,
Straight to the coat-clad table,
And in a way most able,
Presided at the same.
The new-made Coats were thoroughly inspected,
Aad one, as choicest, was at length selected.
All in the room save Mr. Major,
Who laid the wager
Looked right straight down their noses;
For, as you'll guess,
The choicest dress
Was that obtained of MOSES.

nll. GARDNER'S WORM MEDICINE.
15 Removed from 71, Long-acre to Mr. Prout's, 229, Strand,

London. _
It is a melancholy fact that thousands arc suffering the privation
of health, and are ultimately brought to a premature death by a cause
so prevalent as that of worms in the human body, and which is so
frequently overlooked or improperly treated, from either prejudice
or mistake It is, therefore, of importance that every person
should be acquainted with the common symptoms of worms, which
are—disagreeable odour of the breath, fevered tongue, particular
heavily ss or languid bluish appearance about the eyes, swelling and
paleness of the lips, especially the upper lip, frequent itching of the
nose, an unequal state of the pulse, appetite very irregular, and the
bowels also, pale and emaciated countenance, and at other times the
face will be flushed, griping pains, a short, dryisqaeh._ azaat thinat:
roaming, :starting. LIUTIng slew, `n teeth, rrequent
pains in tile sides, listlessness,- and want of inclination to take ex-
ercise, inflammation of the eyes, &c. &c. These are some of the
general symptoms of being afflicted with worms; adults as well as
children are subject thereto. Youth or age may with the utmost
safety have recourse to this old-established medicine, -which is
adopted by numerous families as a general medicine, particulaily in
spring and autumn.

TO THE LAMES.
This lady had the following letter inserted in the "Times" news.
paper on Aug. 7, 1546. Reader, remember, this letter was put int
the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me.
" Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor-
tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Gemstone, of the Ilerbary, High-
gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com-
pletely restored the h air on her head, after using it about four months,
and the whole of her hair is much stronger and more luxuriant than
lever was before the baldness appeared.
"Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to:the virtues of Mr. G.'r
Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase
an I Is. bottle if tkey were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex-
perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund-
ance, but as a cure of nervous headache ;as a toilet perfume itt far
beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any-
lady of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough."
In eases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, ate w
drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre-
vent the hair from coming away with the comb, matte it strong, and
prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A
few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the
hair brilliancy, causing it to curl.
The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the
most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing
odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion
to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops
on the crown of the head ; if very bad, repent it every quarter of an
hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces
hair on children's heads in a few appplications. If used on infants'
heats, it has such a peculiar cooling Influence on the brain as to pre-
vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See
paraphlet of testimonials.

A B R I A G E.
One half the world are desolately single, and the ether
Supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
eomprosing harry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
ant broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
ani soci el content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justicodemand that health shouldform au item
in the compact ; It alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CITLVERWELL'S little
MEMOIRS "On Single and Married Life," pub. in 2 vols., Is.
each (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let ne imaginatively
refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
oy misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but
for the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or
together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
3ttle publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,
by r lost Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
&veld," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely
pampNets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
!ifs who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
servan,la of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he
svora4 he done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always
on the "sunny side of the way." The above works may be lad of

SUDDEN DEATH AT TIIE ROYAL SURREY ZOOLO •
west, GARDENS.-Yesterday Mr. Carter, the Coroner,
held an inquest at the Ostrich, Penton-place, on the body
of a young woman named Turner, aged 16, servant of
Mr. Metcalfe, ginger-beer manufacturer, Whitechapel.
From the evidence of Mr. Woodman, Mr. Tyler's sub •
scribers' list-keeper, it appeared that deceased was ac-
companied from Whitechapel by a youth named Smith,
about her own age, to visit the above gardens. They
had net proceeded more than half a dozen yards into the
gardens when sbe complained of great pain in her chest,
and fell, apparently, in a fit. Mr. Woodmen ran to her
assistance, and restoratives were immediately brought
from Mr. Tyler's house by the housekeeper, who ren-
dered every possible aid. Mr. Vinall was also sent for,
and promptly attended, but life was extinct. The de-
ceased bore an excellent character, and the jury being
fully satisfied, returned a verdict of "Natural death."

The Gazette du Bas Languedoc contains the fol-
lowing:—" A few days ago a sinister-looking man in
rags, and with an immense quantity of hair, was seen
hanging about the village of Rochefort, department of
the Gard. All at once it became rumoured that he had
brought the cholera. The peasantry immediately as-
sembled, armed with muskets and scythes, and went in
search of the man. They found him lying under a tree
near the Chapelle of Notre Dame, and presented their
muskets at him. What are you about?' cried he,
greatly terrified. Is it you, scoundrel, who have brought
the cholera?' No, gentlemen, no!' ' But you have
it there, fastened up in your wine flask!' No; the
flask only contains wine, and to prove it to you I will
drink the wine!' God forbid!' cried the terrified pea-
sants, that you should open the bottle and let the
cholera escape. There—be off, and if you appear here
again we will kill you!' The mendicant, for such ho
was, immediately decamped. This scene, witnessed by
one of our correspondents, does not do great credit to
the present enlightened (=Wry."

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

BIRMINGHAM, SEPT. 27.—At Gloucester and Wor-
cester markets. on the 22d, wheat, both English and
Foreign, was firmly held for is per quarter more money;
but the trade ruled dull at the advance. Barley, oats,
and beans unaltered. Peas somewhat cheaper. This
week the transactions have been on a limited scale;
and on wheat of all kinds the turn is in favour of the
buyer. Lower prices are not submitted to for barley.
Fine oats in fair demand, but all secondary q'ialities are
difficult to quit. Beans rather dearer. Peas find
buyers slowly, at former prices. At this day's market
there was a large supply of new wheat, and a reduction
of Is per quarter had to be submitted to thereon. The
trade in foreign was slow, at the currency of this day
so'nnight. Fine barley rather dearer, secondary quali
tics difficult to quit. Oats very little inquired for, and
black were offering at less money.

INTRAMURAL INTERMENTS.—ST. BOTOLI'II,
OPSGATE.—At a vestry meeting, held yesterday, Mr,
Smart, the vestry-clerk, in answer to an inquiry from
Mr. Hopgood, said that a vestry would probably be
held the week after next, to confirm what had been done
with reference to the closing of the churchyard and the
vaults. He thought it important to Elate that there had
only been ten interments in the vaults in the last ten
years; and, fortunately, there had not been a single in-
terment in the new ground beyond those in the pur-
chased graves, of which there were only nitr.. Mr.
Hopgood—And of course, under these circumstances, no
more graves will be sold Y Mr. Smart—Certainly not.
It was stated by Mr. Prockter that there was now no
cholera in the entire ward. It was a remarkable thing
that in those localities which adjoined the churchyard,
as New Broad-street, and Broad-street-buildings, there
had not been a single case.
COLTCORD.—WHERE IGNORANCE Is BLISS.—A
waggoner was employed last week to convey some
articles of furniture from Bruton to the watering place
of Seaton. On leaving the-latter place on his return he
seated himself on the right hand corner of the waggon
to drive. He had not proceeded many yards from the
town when the hind-wheel on the left got disengaged
from the axle unobserved, and rolled into the ditch.
The weight of the driver on the opposite side pre-
vented the waggon from losing its position, the
driver continuing his journey very comfortably, es-
timating his return to Bruton in time for the fair, which
was near at hand. By and bye he was met by a
man who with a grin accosted him with " Why,
master, ono of your wheels is off." This being re-
ceived as a joke, was met with the ironical request to
the informant "putt'n on again." At length Colyford
was reached, and the same salutation greeted the
driver as before, who angrily gave the same reply,
without suspecting the fact. The turnpike-gate was
passed, and afterwards the village of Musbury—the un-
believing driver, who, no doubt, thought that the natives
were a very frolicsome set of beings, still being hailed
by every passer-by, and answering in the same style as
before. At last he reached the Black Dog Inn, Axmin-
ster, and having travelled seven miles, thought it was
time to refresh the inner man. Accordingly, he pulled
up with the usual " We, ho !" and straightway jumped
out, when down went the tail-end of the waggon on the
protruding axle, and the driver found himself really in a
fix, and matched for his uncouth behaviour on the road.
His weight had actually balanced the waggon on three
wheels for seven miles. It was then dark, and lanterns
and assistants were procured to search for the lost wheel.
After groping the ditches all the way, it was found at
Colyford, where it had been brought by a person who
had found it near Seaton, and who imposed a lien upon
it of hall a crown. After proceeding to Seaton to borrow
some money of his employer, which this reverse of for-
tune had rendered necessary, and rolling the wheel to
Axminster to be attached to the waggon the driver pro-
ceed, d on his way lamenting. Yeovil Ti

CHOLERA. IN THB RDIEE.—The Iphegenia, lent by
the Admiralty to the Seamen's Hospital off Greenwich,
has during the past month received on board nearly 300
seamen of all nations attacked with this fearful epidemic,
and such was its malignant character, that one-half died
within twelve hours after their having been brought
alongside. A debt of gratitude is owing to the unre-
mitting exertions of the officers of this admirable insti-
tution, all of whom were constantly at their post in the
1 hour a duller.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
THE INDIA AND CHINA SQUADRON.

TRINCOMALEE, AUG. 7.—Her Majesty's steam-
slcop Fury, Commander Wilcox, left this for Madras
on the 19th ult., to bring coals and provisions—the
former for herself, the latter for the small squadron
here. During her absence the Canada freight ship
arrived with abundant supplies of everything from
Deptford, and on the 23th ult. the Fury returned from
Illadras. A small schooner, the Australia, purchased
for the colony of New Zealand, at Bombay, and
brought here by the Cambrian, 40, Commodore
Plumridge, C. 8., left this place for Singapore on the
Ist instant, in charge of Lieutenant Webber, of her
Majsty's ship Hastings, 72, flag of Rear-Admiral Sir
Francis Collier, C. 8., So. On her arrival there she
will he handed over to the lion. Captain Keppel, of
her Majesty's ship Meander, 44, which ship is about
to quit this station for the Pacific, and on her way
will leave the Australia at New Zealand. The Hast-

ipirs-and-CowbsUn-Layib-reasaineslaaaa.siabeeills aoth
of June, t‘afferd time for the proceedings of `hoard"
of revision of the dockyard expenditure, composed of
the senior officers of both ships; its sittings being now
terminated the squadron Once more about to disperse.
The Hastings and Fury sail to-morrow for Singapore,
and after a week's stay there will proceed to China
.)nce more to remain there all next winter, while the
Cambrian, after touching at Madras, will go on to
Moulmein, conveying a variety of stores requisite :for
the Malacca steam- sloop, now in course of construc-
tion at that place. The Hastings will meet the
Columbine, 16, Commander Hay, at Singapore, on
her way home, about the first week in September, and
will probably remain at that port until the arrival of
the Cleopatra, 26, Captain Massie, and the Reynard,
11, Commander Cracroft, from England. Report
says, and (adds our correspondent) I believe truly,
that the Hastings will not winter as before at Hong-
Kong, but proceed to Woosung, where a colder and
clearer atmosphere prevails, and where the health of
he officers and crew is most likely to be renovated
tiler the intense heat of the Indian summer.

Various opinions are expressed with respect to
Captain Keppel's proceedings in the affair with the
authorities at Macao, and much curiosity is felt to
know what view the Government at home may take
of it; but as far as he himself is concerned (and I
write impartially, being a perfect stranger to him
personally), the universal feeling is, that his conduct
was in perfect keeping with the manly and dashing
character he has maintained throughout his career in
the service, and that the navy and the country would
gain by having a few more officers of his stamp in
active employment.
When the Hastings and Fury leave for the Straits
of Malacca and China to-morrow, the Cambrian
will remain the sole representative of the British
naval power in the Indian seas, which is surely not
right.

PROMOTIONS AND EXCHANGES IN THE SQUADRON
SINCE LAST MAIL.

Patrick Digan, M.D., acting surgeon of the Colum-
bine, and Henry,Baker, M.D., surgeon of the Amazon,
have exchanged ships.
• Lieutenant F. Frobyn, recently promoted, has been
appointed (additional) to the Hastings.
Mr. Glyn, midshipman, has been transferred from
the Hastings to the Cambrian.
Mr. Carneiro Leao, an officer of the Brazilian
navy, who came out in the Hastings, and has been
serving in the Cambrian for the last nine months, has
been appointed to the Fury for the purpose of study-
ing steam as applied to the purposes of navigation.
Leao is an officer of singular zeal and merit,
tnd is much re'pected in the squadron.
The Admiral is much better in health than he has
been for some time. The squadron is also healthy.
PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 27.—Captain- Superintendent
Sir Edward Parry is on leave of absence, attending
he family of his late brother-in-law, the Bishop of
Norwich.

Captain Henry, of the Royal Marine Artillery,
proceeded this morning to Bath, on two months'
leave, to recruit his health.
Cqtgivrareeil, of -the; Superb, 80,---at Spitheact
is noTextected to rejoin before the end of the next
week, being on leave with his family in Ireland.
Captain Gordon has taken up his appointment to
the Encounter, and that ship is now nearly ready to
:eave the harbour. She looks very handsome.
Commander Hewlett, of the Excellent, is progress-
ing favourahlyhtowards convalescence after his late
iccident at thz stockade.

The Persian, 16, Commander Wodehouse, arrived
at Halifax on the 13th ult., after a boisterous pas-
iage of 28 days from Plymouth. She encountered a
,ale off the Western Islands, and met with a large
water logged, which they boarded, but found
her quite deserted. The Persian would sail for Ja-
maica in about ten days. The Wellesley, 72, Vice-
Admiral the Earl of I)undonald, was at Halifax.
the Sappho, 12, Commander Michell, at Vera Cruz.
She has been very sickly, and has lost one of her
ieutenants (Mr. Dashwood). The Trincomalee, 25,
Captain Warren, would be at Halifax in about three
weeks, from Newfoundland. The Wellesley was
:he only man-of-war at Halifax at the date of our
letter.

WooLwicu, SEPT. 27.—The Archer steam-sloop
went down the river this morning at an early
hour to try her screw-propeller, after its being
reduced to 10 feet in diameter, and the average of
four runs up and down the measured mile gave a
speed of fully seven knots per hour, a considerable
advance over her previous trials.
The Terrible steam-frigate, Captain Ramsey, was
paid off to-day, and many of the men have left the
vessel with regret, as they have been remarkably
comfortable under their gallant commander, of whom
they speak in the highest terms for his uniform kind-
ness to them. They are also proud of having served
in a vessel which has obtained so high a character
from Admiral Parker, on the Mediterranean station.
Many of the crew are most anxious to serve again in
her, which they would do with pleasure if Captain
Ramsey was reappointed, but they will not decide
wadi they know who is to command her. The
general impression is that the Terrible will be im-
mediately recommissioned, and take out troops to the
East Indies, to test her further capabilities, as she has
been found to answer well in other respects.
A fatal accident occurred yesterday evening, be-
twixt eight and nine o'clock, to one of the crew, a
caulker on board the Inflexible. The deceased had
been visited on board by his sister, and proceeded in
the boat with her to see her safe on shore. On his
return to the vessel, and when ascending the ladder,
he slipped his foot, and was precipitated into the
river, and it was so long before his body was re-
covered that life was extinct and surgical assistance
was of no avail.

SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY, SEPT. 17.—The Pe-
ninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's ship
Montrose, Captain John Bowen, sailed this afternoon, at
two o'clock, with the usual Spanish and Portuguese
mails. She has thirty passengers, amongst whcm are
his Excellency John B. Clay, the new American Chargé
d'Affaires to Portugal, and family. The freight com-
prises specie value 3,0001. and 76 tons measurement of
general cargo. The next homeward mails from Vigo,
Oporto, Lisbon, Cadiz, and Gibraltar, will be brought by
the Iberia, Captain C. F. Burney, due on the 4th of Oc-
tober. The Ripon, Captain R. Moresby, with the East
India, China, and Mediterranean mails, may be ex-
pected about Monday next. The Sultan, Captain George
Brooks, leaves on Saturday for Gibraltar, Malta, and
Constantinople.
LLOYD'S.—A half-yearly general meeting of the
members of Lloyd's was held on Wednesday ; Mr. Wm.
Chapman Harnett in the chair, in place of Mr. G. R.
Robinson, M.P., who was prevented attending in con-
sequence of illness but who is shortly expected to be
able to again preside over the committee of manage-
ment. The report of the committee, which related
solely to internal affairs, was read by Captain Halstead,
R.N., and carried unanimously, after which the
honorary silver medal of the establishment was voted
to Robert B. Forbes, Esq., of Boston, United States, a
passenger on board the Europa steamer, to mark the
sense entertained of his gallant and disinterested conduct
in leaping overboard at great personal risk, and assisting
in saving a part of tho passengers of the Charles Bart-
let, when that vessel was unhappily run down by the
Europa steamer on the 27th June last.

WHAT IT COSTS TO PLAY AT SOLDIERS.—France
has spent upon its war establishment, from 1831 to
1849, no less than 288,000,0001.! This enormous sum
may be said to have been spent upon reviews, for not
one war (the razzias in Algeria are even too contemp-
tible for the contemptible name of war), broke out during
the above period. Therefore it cost France 10,000,0002
a year for reviews: really there is no game so expensive
as playing at soldiers. Louis Philippe's motto was "La
Puix a tout prix," and he certainly paid dearly enough
for it. According t ) the late King's tariff, peace was
nearly as expensive as war. But then it was "an armed
peace." It required 500,000 men to prevent France from
fighting ; that is to say, nearly as many as Napoleon
required to fight all Europe with. We must say we
doubt the peaceful intentions of such a warlike nation.
A. peaceful man does not walk about with duelling pistols
in his pocket. And it is probable that France will have
to pay for its eighteen years of childish reviews with a
perpetual income tax. We only hope it will be a timely
warning ,to other peace-preaching and war-practising
nations.—Punch.
LANSDOWN E. 11011 SE.—The Marquis of Lansdowne
has, to a considerable degree, thrown his splendid town
mansion and grounds, in Berkeley-square, open to the
view of the public, by the erection of an iron gate in
Berkeley-street, directly opposite /Uphill.

REVIEW OF THE ROYAL ARTILLERY.

WOOLWICH, SEPT. 27.—M. Drouin de Lhuys,
Ambassador from France, with Madame Drouin de
Lhuys and a party of ladies and gentlemen, visited
Woolwich to-day, accompanied by Major-General
Fox, Surveyor-General of the Ordnance.
The whole of the Royal Artillery in the garrison,
with the exception of those on duty, assembled on the
common at half past ten o'clock, A.m., the Royal
Horse Artillery under the command of Lieutenant-
Colonel Brereton, C. 8., K.H. ; the right battalion of
the Foot Artillery, under the command of Lieutenant-
Colonel Bent, with Captain and Adjutant Campbell ;
Captain Marriott's company, with 9 pounder field
batteries, the gunners dismounted, under the com-
mand of Lieutenant-Colonel Ingilby ; the left batta-
lion of Foot Artillery, under the command of Lieu-
tenant-Colonel James, with Captain and Adujutant
Doraville; and the Field Batteries, consisting of three
companies, with four light 6 pounder guns each,
under thocommand of Lieutenant-Colonel Anderson,
with Captain and Adjutant Rogers; the whole under
the command of Colonel Cruttenden, with Captain
Adjutant Radcliffe acting as Aide-do Camp.
Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas Downman, C. 8.,
K.C.H., Commandant of the Garrison, arrived on
the ground at eleven o'clock, accompanied by Colonel
Campbell, Lieutenant-Colonel Reid, Commandant of
the Royal Engineers and Royal Sappers and Miners
at Woolwich ; Lieutenant-Colonels Furneaux, Evans,
Wilson, Wright, Brigade-Major Bingham, and
Captain Tylden, Deputy Assistant Quartermaster-
General, with Captain and Adjutant Bradling acting
as Aide-de-Camp to the Lieutenant-General.
Major-General Fox joined the staff of the Lieut.-
General, and M. de Lhuys remained at the flag-staff.
The troops received the Commandant with the usual
salute, the band playing the National Anthem. Ac-
companied by the staff, he rode down the front to
inspect the men, who then broke into open column,
and right in front marched past at slow and quick
time. The field batteries then marched forward, and
went through the exercises of a field day with excel-
lent effect.

A serious accident happened to gunner Lomes, of
Captain St. George's company, who lost four fingers
of his hand, and had his face singed, and one of his
eyes injured, by the charge he was ramming home
going off before he could withdraw the rammer.
The Royal Hone Artillery then marched forward,
and went through their evolutions in a superior man-
ner, each troop having two 12-pounder howitzers and
two light 6-pounder guns, and each howitzer and gun
served with thirty rounds of ammunition. The men
attached to the 6-pounders dismounted them, and
again commenced firing with great celerity of
movement. The troops then marched past in single
file to the barracks.

M. de Lhuys, with Major-General Fox and party,
accompanied Colonel Campbell to the Repository-
grounds, and were conducted over the Rotunda by
Colonel Campbell and Captain Anderson, and ap-
peared much interested with the model of Rio de Ja-
neiro and other curiosities. Colonel Campbell next
conducted the Ambassador and his friends to the
place where the hearse is kept on which the remains
of the Emperor Napoleon were conveyed to the place
of interment in St. Helena.

On leaving the Repository-grounds the Ambassador
with his friends returned to town.

CITY of LONDON REGISTRATION.
Wednesday morning the Court was opened at ten
o'clock, when the revision of the list for Bridge, Can-
dlewick, and Walbrook Wards was proceeded with.

PARISH OF ST. MART, ABCHURCH.-QUESTION AS TO
THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN CIIIIRCHWARDEN AND

OVERSEER.

It appeared that the notices of objection by the
Conservatives had been served upon a Mr. Marshall,
who was not an overseer of the parish, and the party
serving the notices had called upon Mr. Swepson, the
churchwarden of the parish, but, upon some person
representing on that occasion that Mr. Swepson was
only the churchwarden, and that Mr. Marshall was
-the overseer, the notices were afterwards served upon
the latter. From these premises,
Mr. Browne argued, that the mere calling on Mr.
Swepson with the notices, and being sent by him to a
person who was not an overseer, could not be con-
strued by the Court into a service upon Mr. Swepson.
The COURT decided sgainst the objection, on the
ground that the notice was not a good one.

Mr. Brown then contended that the notices served
on the part of the Liberals were invalid, inasmuch
as they had been served upon Mr. Swepson, who
was a churchwarden, and not an overseer. In support
of his argument he cited the 6th Vic., c. 18, s. 17,
which enacted " that evry person whose name shall
have been inserted in any list of voters for any city
or borough may object to any other persons as not
having been entitled on the last day of July next
preceding to have his name inserted in any list of
voters for the same city or borough, and every person
so objecting shall, on or before the 25th of August in
that year, give or cause to be given a notice to the
overseers who shall have made out the list." The
101st section, which was the interpretation clause,
went at full length into the subject, but it did not
include the word churchwarden within the meaning
of the term overseer. This clause enacted that
" wherever any notice is by this Act required to be
given or sent to the overseers of any parish or town-
ship, it shall be sufficient if such notice shall be de-
livered to any one of such overseers, or shall be left at his
place of abode, or at his office or other place fur trans-
acting parochial business, or shall be sent by the post
addressed to the overseers of the particular parish or
township to which the notice may relate." Upon the
authority of these enactments he (Mr. Browne) sub-
mitted that the Legis!ature drew a distinction be-
tween the office of churchviarden and that of overseer.
Their duties were entirely distinct, and it was clear
that a service upon a churchwarden could not be en-
tertained as a service upon an overseer.

Mr. Smith contended that under the authority of
the 43d Elizabeth, chap. 2, the churchwardens were
cx officio overseers. This Act stated that the church-
wardens of every parish shall be called overseers of
the poor of the same parish ; and it was quite clear
from the interpretation clause of 6 Vic., chap. 18,
that the statute was intended to refer to any person
who exercised the duties of overseer. But he sub-
mitted that the decision of the Court of Common
Pleas in the case of "Beenlen v. Hockin" (reported
in Lutwyche's Registration Cases), was conclusive upon
the question. Chief Justice Wilde had there said
(in reference to the same point which had been
raised on the present occasion) " The question turns
upon the meaning to be given to those words in the

17th section of the 6 Vict., c. 18, which say that
notice of objection shall be given to the overseers
who shall have made out the list. It is contended
that service upon a churchwarden of the parish who
had not signed the list was bad ; but I think an
effectual answer has been given to that objection.
The several sections of the Act which have been re-
ferred to, beginning with the 10th, are general in
their terms, and apply to all those who fall within the
description of overseers of the poor." He (Mr.
Smith) continued to urge that, upon the authority of
the statutes he had cited, and also • upon the opinion
expressed by the Court of Common Pleas, the party
now in question stood in the position of an overseer,
and that therefore the notices of objection were valid.
Mr. M'CIIRISTIE held that the services upon the
churchwarden were good according to the authorities
quoted.
ST. BENET, GRACECHURCII.—ADMISSIBILITT OF
EVIDENCE.—SamueI John Nail, whose name ap-
peared on the list as the occupier of a counting-house
at 10, St. Benet's•place, was objected to by Mr.
Browne (for the Conservatives) on the ground that
his landlady resided on the premises.
The claimant stated that the building in which his
counting-house was situated had only one street-door,
and the counting-house was on the ground-floor. He
did not know of his own knowledge whether the
landlady lived on the premises.
Mr. Browne said he bad a witness who was pre-
pared to prove that the landlady's son bad told him,
on his going to the premises to make inquiries into
the subject, that his mother had no other place of
abode than No. 10, St. Benet's-place. He (Mr.
Browne) thought that under the circumstances the
Court was bound to receive such evidence, Mr. Nail
himself being unable to give any positive information
on the subject.
Mr. Smith objected to the reception of such evi-
dence.
Mr. M'CHRISTIE was of opinion that the evidence
tendered was inadmissible, and that the name must
be retained.
The Court then adjourned.

COURT CIRCULAR.

BALMORAL, SEPT. 25.
4for Maji sty and the Prince drove out this morning
into the Forest of Invercauld.

The Princess Royal, attended by Miss Hillyard, rode
out on horseback yesterday.
Mr. and Mrs. Farquharson, of Invercauld, will have
the honour of dining with the Queen this evening.

Earl Grey arrived at -his seat, Howick Hall, North-
umberland, on Wednesday evening, from Balmoral.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer arrived at his resi-
dence in Downing-street last evening, from his seat,
Hickleton Hall, near Doncaster.

ROUTE OF HER MAJESTY.
(From the Glasgow Daily Mail of yesterday.) -
A considerable alteration has been made in the
arrangements as to her Majesty's route southward,
and also as to the time of departure from Balmoral.
It was understood last week that her Majesty would
arrive in Perth yesterday, and remain during the
night in the Royal George Hotel ; indeed, the whole
house was engaged for the Royal party, and it was
understood that the Queen would proceed next
morning by the Scottish Central, Edinburgh and
Glasgow, and North British Railways ; but owing,
as is alleged, to the state of the public health in
Perth, a change of route was deemed advisable, and
arrangements were made for her Majesty passing
Wednesday night in Gibb's Hotel, Stirling. Sub-
sequently, however, it was decided that her Ma-
jesty should not remain a night in Scot-
land at all, but that the Royal party, by leav-
ing Balmoral at nine_ o'clock this (Thursday)
morning, should post to Cunar-Angus, and
then proceed by the Scottish Midland, Scottish
Central, Edinburgh and Glasgow, and North British
Railways, to the seat of Earl Grey, Howick Hall,
Northumberland, where her Majesty will remain for
the night. The Royal party will most probably ar-
rive at Cupar-Angus about two o'clock, and then
proceed direct for Edinburgh. At the railway station
at Cupar-Angus the splendid royal saloon carriage,
which has arrived by the North British Railway from
England, will be in waiting to receive her.
Her Majesty will arrive in Edinburgh between
four and five o'clock, but she will make no stay there.
As soon as the engine of the one railway com-
pany is exchanged for that of the other, which will
be the work of only a few minutes, her Majesty
will proceed along the North British line, passing to
the Newcastle and Berwick line at Berwick, and
making no stoppage till she makes Longhoughton
station, which is about thirty miles beyond
Berwick. Her Majesty will then leave the railway
carriage, and drive to Howick, the residence of Earl
Grey, about two miles distant. This change in the
arrangements had not become generally known; for
at Stirling yesterday, the railway station was crowded
by a large assemblage of people anxious to obtain a
glimpse of her Majesty.
The Countess Grey, who was accompanied by Lady
Duncan, passed through Edinburgh on Monday after-
noon, to make arrangements for her Majesty's recep-
tion at Howick.

Arrangements for her Majesty's reception in Edin-
burgh have been made by the authorities.
The Queen is not expected to leave her car-
riage on arriving at the terminus of the North
British Railway. The engine will be changed
in two or three minutes, when the Royal
cortege will at once proceed southwards. Every
precaution has been taken by the authorities here
to secure the comfort of her Majesty and the Royal
family in their rapid transit through the city. There
is no desire to prevent access to any point of view
from which the royal train may be visible, without
on the one hand exposing the spectators themselves to
the risk of injury, or, on the other hand, rendering
any accident to the train in any way possible. The
Eastern Prince's street Gardens will be open to the
public on the north side over all the space to the
north of the lower of two strong stockades which
have been erected there. Nobody will be perpitted
to pass the lower stockade. And from the south side
of the East Gardens the public will be altogether
excluded. The nature of the ground, taken in con-
nexion with the operations now in progress at
this spot, make this exclusion imperatively neces-
sary on the ground of public safety. The
West Prince's-street Gardens are of course ac-
cessible only by permission of those who have keys
to them. But effectual means will be adopted to
prevent anybody from coming too near the walls
close to the railway. There are other points which
are in Mae manner to be carefully guarded from all
hazard either to the railway or to the public. On
the Waverley Bridge we understand that the ma-
gistrates will permit a row of hackney carriages to
stand frcra the curve at Prince's-street, downwards
along the palisade for some distance. But all persons
will be prohibited from occupying the Waverley
Bridge. The North Bridge will likewise be strictly
guarded, so as to prevent the people from looking over
the parapets. And in general this necessary pre-
caution with regard to bridges will be everyw here
enforced. Sheriff Gordon, with Mr. List, has in-
spected all the line of railway within the county
which her Majesty is to traverse ; and the most im-
plicit instructions have been issued to prevent any
bridge over the railway, of any land, being occupied
by anybody on any pretext whatever. A handsome
platform is being erected within tha terminus, to
afford the Lord Provost and magistrates, Major-
General Riddell and his staff, and the railway direc-
tors and other officials, an opportunity of quietly
testifying by their presence their duty to her Majesty.
We have no doubt that the utmost regularity and
tranquillity will characterise the whole very rapid.
proceedings of the day.

HER MAJESTY'S WALKS AT BALmonAL.—At the
Bridge of Crathie, a short distance from the castle, there
is a cluster of cottages. Some of the labourers, and
others connected with the grounds, reside there, as well
as several persons at the adjacent distillery. Her Ma-
jesty almost daily passes these in her walks, and is no
stranger to the hearths of many of them. Her visits
have been frE quent and most friendly. It appeared that
she was anxious to introduce his Royal Highness to the
villagers; and, accordingly, they walked out together,
going first to the distillery. They visited several houses
there, and also examined a bothy, where some of the
persons employed in the distillery sleep. On returning,
they took the Bridge of Crathie in their way. The
houses of the brewers there they also visited, inquiring
with much minuteness and interest into their domestic
arrangements, and examining their accommodation. Her
Majesty wa3 quite familiar. Both conversed with the
mistress of the house with much urbanity and frankness,
but the Queen had to sustain the principal part of the
conversation, his Royal Highness being unable wholly
to understand the " auld wife's" meaning until it was
put in other language.—North British Mail.

NEW ELECTRO-TELEGRAPH PATENT.—The intro-
duction of the electric telegraph a year or two back ex-
cited amazement, but the working hitherto of that ex-
traordinary power has not been worthy of the subtle
agency employed. We learn that this most striking in-
vention of modern times has now been brought to a state
of perfection in the working which will cause it to bo
generally used. The prices of transmission will be 300
or 400 per cent. under those now charged. A business-
man at Liverpool, or elsewhere, may communicate with
his commercial confidant in London or Pa-is without the
possibility of a third party penetrating their secrets, and
all this is done with a rapidity unknown to the existing
system. The new invention occurred to the minds of an
American and an English gentleman almost at the same
time. The two patents have now been united, and the
working management has been entrusted to excellent
hands, Messrs. Wilimer and Smith, of London and
Liverpool, whose energy and activity, as representatives
of the United States and the metropolitan press during
the last thirty years, are familiar to most newspaper
readers. These gentlemen will be enabled to print mes-
sages at the rate of two hundred letters a minute. The
French Government have conceded to the English paten-
tee, Mr. Jacob Brett, the exclusive right of telegraphing
between this country and France. Altogether the
invention of House and Brett is one of the marvels of
the age.
CURIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE ARISING OUT OF A DEATH
FROM CHOLERA.—Yesterday an inquest was held be-
fore the Borough Coroner under the following peculiar
circumstances:—On Thursday last a girl, aged eight
years, residing with her parents in Sherwood-atreet,
died, and was buried in St. Martin's Cemetery. It was
understood by the neighbours that the child had died of
cholera; but on naming the matter to the father and
mother of the deceased,• they were informed that there
was no troth in the report of the child's death, but that
she had gone over to Ireland. One of the neighbours
being satisfied that the child was dead, and had been
buried in St. Martin's Cemetery, instituted an inquiry,
and found that the child's death had been registered as
having been caused by cholera, and the party further
learnt that the surgeon who certified had never seen Nab
deceased during her illness. Information was then given
to the coroner, who ordered the body to be exhumed,
and at the inquest yesterday the father of the deceased
was examined, when he admitted that he had told the
neighbours that his daughter was not dead, but gone
from home, and that he took this course, and ordered
his wife and children to do the same, to prevent any
alarm to the neighbours. It appeared from his evidence
that no medical man ever saw the deceased during her
illness, and that the certificate was obtained upon re-
presentations made by him. Mr. Woods, surgeon, was
next examined, and stated that he had mado a post
mortem examination of the body, and was of opinion
that the deceased had died of cholera. A. verdict was
therefore returned accordingly.—Liverpool Courier.
ENGLISH GRATITUDE.—A few days ago a medical
man was passing through the Quartier St. Germain, in
Paris, when he was attracted by a crowd, in the midst
of which he found a poor Englishman smitten by an at-
tack of apoplexy.
He hastened to render him the as-
sistance that medical aid could afford. Tho next day
the medical roan called upon his patient to inquire how
he felt. The Englishman asked him what he was to
The doctor replied, 10f. for two visits, at sf. each.
P .
.. Oh," cried the Englishman, " my life is worth more
than that;" whereupon he handed the physician a cheque
for 500 f.
