TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR—In giving the betting for this last two
or three weeks, you always name William de
Fortibus as Mr. Clark's horse. Please to say in
your next, "Is he sold, or is he still Lord West-
minster's property ? " I merely request this
favour, as it may cause a dispute regarding bets
made as to Scott's lot. By so doing you will
oblige, yours respectfully,
A CONSTANT READER.

IRELAND.
NEW MAGISTRACY OF DUBLIN.

DUBLIN, Noy. 30.—The commissions of the old Cor-
porate Magistrates expired this day ; and thus the last
remnant of the corrupt and infamous Corporation has
been legally extinguished.
I understand that Sir Edward Sugden has directed a
new commission for this city to issue, and that the list
will include twenty-six Magistrates. The necessary
official forms not having been yet gone through, I
cannot send you the list to-day. I have learned,
however, that it consists of nineteen Protestants
and seven Roman Catholics. Amongst the for-
mer are several of the ex -Aldermen of the old
Corporation, whose commissions have thus been re-
newed. All the Directors of the Bank of Ireland are in-
cluded in the list, and two of those gentlemen, Mr. John
M'Donnell and Mr. John Ennis, are Catholics, who,
however, keep aloof from politics. A portion of the new
Magistrates are selected from the new Town Council,
and a few Liberals are interspersed amongst the Tories.
I have heard the names of five Aldermen included is
the commission :—Sir John Power, Bart.; Sir E.
Borough, Bart. ; Kinahan, Peter Purcell, and G. Roc.
MORE JOBBING,—After Christmas two more of the
old Tory Judges will be induced to retire, to make way
for Messrs. West and Litton. Lord De Grey will fulfil
his compact with Mr. West.

the brain, produced by a blow or fall. Susan Banks add
that she Ns-eat to the "house of deceased with a man
named Robert Mathewson, and the deceased was the
first to -commence the affray. Mathewson was not
intoxicated.. Richard Latter, police-constable 51 F,
said that, on the morning in question, he was on
duty in Phoenix-alley, when he was informed of a
disturbance at. deceased's house. He instantly went
there and saw a man, named Robert Mathew-
son, and the deceased in the passage fighting. It
did not appear as though deceased was endeavouring to
turn his adversary out. Ile saw blows exchanged, and
the deceased fell against the stairs: Mathewson was in-
toxicated, and a woman, named Banks, endeavoured -to
rescue him from witness. Mathewson was very violent,
and broke four panes of glass in the door.' Witness took
him before the Magistrates at Bow-street, when lie was
remanded. He said he was a fishmonger, and resided in
Clipstone-street, Fitzroy-square. The woman (Banks)
said that she had lostanoney in the house. The deceased
was quite sober. Anne Ba.gster corroborated the evi-
dence of the 'first witness. She added that Mathewson
held the deceased in inch a manner that it was impossi-
ble that he (deceased) could have struck him. The
quarrel arose about the sum he was to pay for accommo-
dation. The Coroner then summed up the evidence ;
and the Jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict
of " Excusable Homicide."

THE HARVEST MOON.—About the time of
the autumnal equinox, when the moon is at or near the
full, she rises sooner after sunsetting than she does in
any other full-moon week in the year; and she, more-
over, rises almost at the same time for several nights to-
gether. These circumstances, with which farmers were
better acquainted than astronomers till within these few
years, were gratefully ascribed to the goodness of God;
Conceiving that he had ordered it on purpose to give
them an immediate supply of moon-light after sunset,
f:.)r their greater convenience in reaping and
distinguish

in the fruits of the earth; accordingly they d
this full moon from all the others in the year, by calling

was opened on the Ist instant with great eclat ; dinners,
dances, and other diversions took place for three days.
The fare to Cologne, a distance of 45 miles, is fixed at
six shillings for the first class, four and sixpence the se-
cond, and three shillings for the open carriages. The
number of persons travelling by it on the opening fully
answered the most sanguine expectations of the share-
holders. •

CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER.—George Woolley, the
driver of a luggage-van, was brought before Mr. Cot-
tingha,mr

ocmpharsgey, charged
of withthe
Vauxhall-road.causingthedeath of Mr. Alex-
ander
It appeared that on Friday last the deceased, who was
advanced in years and afflicted with deafness, was cross-
ing the Vauxhall-road, when he was knocked down by
a van driven by the defendant, by which his ribs were
crushed in so dreadful a manner that he expired shortly
after at a surgeon's, where he was carried immediately
after the accident. The accused, who immediately gave
his address, and apppears by the evidence to have ren-
dered all the assistance in his power and to have shown
also much conedrn at the unfortunate occurrence, was
committed to take his trial for manslaughter.
Susan Smith,
a young female in an advanced stage of
pregnancy, was charged with attempting to throw her-
self into the Thames.
James Henderson stated that he is a porter at the
London and Westminster steam-boat pier, and that on
Tuesday morning last, while he was standing on the pier,
he observed the defendant walking up and do .vn as if she
were waiting for one of the steam-boats. All on a sud-
den, however, she plunged off the pier int.) the river,
and the tide running down at the time she was carried
away, and sank twice before he could disengage the boat
alongside the pier to go to her assistance. When she
rose to the surface the third time he caught her by the
hair, and succeeded in preserving her from being
drowned. As she was in a state of insensibility she was
conveyed to Lambeth Workhouse, in the infirmary of
which she had remained until she was considered suffi-
ciently recovered to be brought to this Court.
In reply to the interrogatories of the Magistrate the
girl said that she was 19 years of age, and that she lived
as housemaid in the service of Mr. Fletcher, que of the
pages to the Queen Dowager ; that OA quitted the service

vantages heretofore only obtained by the middle and industrious
classes through separate investments in Savings' Banks, Be-
nefit Societies, and Loan Banks.

the Admiralty have issued instructions for her Majesty's
service at sea, in which it is directed that the Captains
of her Majesty's ships are not to allow any person to
smoke tobacco in any other part of the ship than the
place appropriated for smoking, and are pleased to direct
that the Captains and Commanding Officers of her Ma-

MISCELLANEOUS.

There is an increase of 11,565 Methodists in Great
Britain and Ireland this year ! Total number, 440,294.
The Times states that "a mode of producing sleep
without narcotics has been for some years communicated
to any one desirous of obtaining acquaintance with it,
by a gentleman of the name of Gardener."—The surest
way of producing sleep we know of, is to hear one of
Sir James Graham's speeches, or read one of his pam-
phlets, on the Corn-laws !
The dinner to Lord Morpeth, at Dublin, takes place
to-morrow, and is expected to be very splendid. The
Marquis of Clanricarde will preside at the banquet.
A young man while bathing yesterday near Battersea-
bridge was carried beyond his depth by the reflux of the

On Wednesday. at Ballinahow, County Tipperary, in a

ing neighbour, interfering to make peace, was unfor-
tunately killed by a blow of a loaded whip from one of
the parties.
M. Von Rothschild has been at Brussels since the 7th.
He has in hand a project for a railroad from Valen-
ciennes to Paris.

It appears from a letter addressed by Mr. Ashworth,
a Rochdale Magistrate, to a Manchester paper, that the
Magistrates of that district have been in. the habit of
convicting persons on the plea that they did not attend
Church, but in reality, because . their conduct out of
Church was grossly offensive and disorderly. If this be
true there was no occasion to fall back upon an ob-
solete law.
Lord Sussex Lennox has just returned from Malta,
whither he went in all haste on an affair of honour. The
parties met, exchanged shots, hut did not exchange a
syllable, and then each went off his separate way.
A torch-light Chartist meeting was, on Thursday even-
ing, held in the town of Bradford, Wiltshire. The Cap-
tain of the police had a large number in the neighbour-
hood, and which would have been available at a minute's
notice, in ease there were any indications of disturbance.
The troop in the barracks at Trowbridge was also easy of
command, but the meeting passed off peaceably.
At the fire which took place in Piccadilly last night,
one of the men belonging to the County Fire-office was
killed, and another so severely injured, that no hopes are
entertained of his recovery.

RUMOURS OF THE DAT.
All the worn-out Tory judges in Scotland and Ireland
are about to retire. Those looking forward to the new
appointments have been in a dreadful state of anxiety
for the last twelve months, and now feel the exuberant
joy of men saved from imminent destruction.

EX PRESS FROM PARIS

FRANCE.

The Moniteur of Sunday, publishes an account
of the proceedings between France and Spain re-
lative to the island Del Rey, and from which it
appears that the notice to evacuate the military
hospital was given by the Governor of Mahon
to the French Vice-Consul in that residence
without the knowledge of the Spanish Cabinet.
M. Gonzales had even offered to grant the
French Government a new lease of this island,
hut the latter had already decided that the re-
newal of the lease should not be demanded, and
the hospital be abandoned at its expiration.
Serious riots, though not of a political cha-
racter, took place at Macon on the 9th inst. The

The Madrid Gazette of the sth inst. promul-
gates the laws of the Cortes, declaring all the
property of the secular clergy to be annexed to
the national domain. The same journal adver-
tises two loans, the one of 45,000,000 of reals,
to be mortgaged on the proceeds of the salt
monopoly, and the other of 17,000,000 on those
of the stamp duties.

LITERARY AND SCXENTIMC.

A congress of wine and fruit tasters was to be opened
at Wurzburg on the 6th instant. Many small casks of
the best wines from the Maine and Rhine have been sent
for competition, and numerous baskets of fruit were to

I.AW AND POLICE.
A commission of lunacy was held at Chatham, on
Wednesday, before Mr. Commissioner West, on Hugh
Stewart Carlow, a gentleman of large landed property at
Rochester. Among other instances of his aberration, it
was related, that his servant having mixed up a quantity
of white arsenic to kill the fly in some sheep, his master
wanted him to take it ; that he had discharged another
because he had refused to eat some burnt beans after his
dinner, and that he himself, though he had five or six
servants about the house, had scrubbed his own passages
and cleaned his own stoves. The Jury returned a ver-
dict that " Mr. Carlow had been of unsound mind since
the Ist of Deceml?er, 1839."

MISCZLLANEOUS.

Mr. Charles Hope, brother of the Earl of Hopetoun,
has succeeded Mr. Bannerman, M.P. for Aberdeen, as a
Commissioner of Greenwich Hospital. Mr. Bannerman
did not resign. He was literally turned out. Such is
the return the Tories make to the Whigs for allowing
such swarms of Tory officials to retain situations and
rail against their masters.

Mr. John Hope, another of this hopeful family, has
been appointed Lord Justice Clerk, an appointment of
a very different kind, we admit, but no doubt he would
have had it though he had been as stupid at the veriest
Tory dunce that ever sat on the Scotch Bench. The
golden age has returned.
A Northern Contemporary compares Sir R. Peel " to
an eagle."—With his sleek, smooth, pompous gravity,
he bears a far greater resemblance to a goose.
A South Devon Journal says that " pike will. this
month take a bait freely."—The Tories are still more vo-
racious than pike, for. they will take a bait freely all the
year round. Bait with loaves and fishes, and, no matter
what be the month, you will be sure to hook a Tory.
A lad about eighteen years of age disappeared on Wed-
nesday night, and it is supposed threw himself off the

drum would cease sounding when opposite the corpse!
Strange superstition!
Mr. W. Newnham, of Balcombe, had a cow bitten by

naparte.
