EXPERIENCES OF A GAOL CIIAPLAIN.—These are
volumes to startle and astound, as well as deeply, and often-
times intensely, and almost painfully to interest the reader.
They contain extraordinary and marvellous revelations of
crimes,
and mysterious and staggering confessions of deeds of
"'"a d'acel hue. It is easy to imagine that the " Experiences of
power of • "lain'" must, if recorded with even an ordinary
investing a narrative with something superior to the
coarse, lnrepulsive, exterior of every-day crime, form a work of
fearful, and, well managed, one of wholesome and salutary
interest.— AdrertiaerThe late Mr. Thomas Ward, the extensive ship-

of dub foot, lateral curvature of the spine, and all other con-
tractions and deformities, was holden in the board-room of
the institution in Bloomsbury-square ;Q. Harris, Esq., in the

CLERKENWELL.

On Saturday Police-constable No. 103 E was
brought before the Magistrate, by order of the Com-
missioners of Police, charged with assaulting a young
man named Lucay.
The complainant said that on Tuesday night last
he went to the Princess's Theatre, and when on his
way home, near King's. cross, he was stopped by a
stranger, who asked him the way to St. Pancras
New Church. He directed him, and had not parted
with him a moment, when he was collared by No.
36 of the E division. He asked, " What have I
done ?" and before a reply was given the defendant
ran over and beat him most unmercifully over his
back and shoulders with his truncheon, remarking at
the time, " Take that, you -." He was after-
wards taken to the station-house, and charged with
knocking at doors and ringing bells, an accusation ut-
terly groundless, and the inspector, on hearing the com-
plaint and his explanation, liberated him, and advised
him to apply there again in the day time for redress.
On the following morning the defendant called him
from his bed, and asked his pardon, begging that he
would not appear against him, as he had a large
family, and they would be ruined. Witness, having
a family, could riot help feeling for the defendant,
and, after advising him to be more cautious for the
future, he extended his hand and forgiveness. The
affair had reached the ears of the Commissioners of
Police, and he was now reluctantly in attendance at
their instance.

Sergeant Dyer, 2 E, said that the case was reported
to him, and he considered it too gross to be passed
over, and he laid the facts before the Commissioners,
who had ordered a public investigation.
A gentleman, named Williams, living at the hope
public-house, in Gray's Inn-lane, corroborated the
complainant in every respect.
The officer, 36 E, was then sworn, and deposed to
the same facts.

Mr. TYRWIIITT-Why did you take him into cus-
tody ? Witness—l mistook him fur another man
who had been hooting, ringing bells, and knocking
at doors.

Mr. TTRWHITT asked the defendant what he had
,o say?

Defendant—l certainly did strike the man, and am
very sorry

Sir. TißwurrT remarked that it was a very proper
case to be publicly dealt with ; and, as it was neces-
sary the police should know the use of the truncheons
intruated to them, he should fine the defendant 10s.
He knew that his dismissal from the force would
follow that conviction, or the penalty would have
been 101.

TTEIRTGILTE AND sactaximriiirtza..

A full average quantity of country-killed meat has
been received up to these markets during the past week ;
but the quality has tamed out very inferior. 'With
meat slaughtered in the metropolis we have been fairly
supplied ; and 12 baskets of Beef and Mutton have been
on sale direct from Hamburgh. Prime Beef and Pork,
from their scarcity, have commanded a steady sale, at
full prices. Otherwise the trade has ruled heavy, and,
is some instances, the quotations have had a downward
tendency. About 2,000 carcasses of foreign meat,
slaughtered in London, have been on offer, and mostly
disposed of at low figures.

.•it the outports the arrivals have been tolerably good,
,42 Oxen having been received at Southampton from
Oporto ; and about 3,200 head of each kind of Stock at
&c., from Holland and Germany. The supply of
/'oreign Stock here, this morning, was again somewhat
extensive : viz., 730 Oxen and Cows, 3,140 Sheep and
Lambs, 67 Calves, and 42 Pigs. Although the condi-
tion of the Stock was very inferior, a good clearance was
effected, at fully last week's prices. From our large
grazing districts the fresh arrivals of Beasts, up to-day,
were somewhat less than those noticed on this day
se'nnight, and their general quality was by no means
first-rate. On the whole, the Beef trade was very
steady, and, in some instances, the value of the best
Scots, &c., had an upward tendency ; some few of them
producing 4s Bd, (though the more general top quota-
tions were from 4s 4d to 4s 6d per 81bs), while the prices
of all other breeds were well supported. The droves
from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire,
&c., comprised about 1,409 short horns ; from the
eastern, western, and midland districts, 700 Herefords,
runts, Devons, Irish Beasts, &c. ; from other parts of
England, 800 of various breeds ; and, from Scotland,
220 horned and polled Scots. There was a decided
falling off in the supply of Sheep, the numbers of which
were about 2,000 less than on Monday last, owing to
which the Mutton trade was firm, and last week's quota-
tions were supported in every instance. The highest
figure for the best old Downs was 5s 2d per 81bs. There
were several foreign Sheep in the market in a very
diseased state. The supply of Calves on offer was but
moderate. Prime qualities of Veal were in steady re-
quest, at full prices. In other kinds only a limited
business was doing, at barely late rates. The Pork
trade was in a very sluggish state ; nevertheless the
quotations paid last week were mostly supported.

COMMERCIAL NEWS.

REVIEW OF THE NEW YORK MARKET.
(From the New York Commercial Advertiser.)
WEDNESDAY, SErT. 22.
Business generally continues on a limited scale, and
the market for most descriptions of foreign and domestic
produce are rather depressed. The public mind has of
late become excited by the occurrence of further failure,
and generally speaking there is a reluctance to operate
beyond the supply of immediate wants, the spirit of spe-
culation having of late materially subsided. A sum-
mary of markets by the Britannia will be found under
its appropriate head.
Ashes—Since the departure of the last steamer pots
have advanced 181 cents, the receipts being very light
and the demand good. The sales of Saturday and Mon-
day reached 200 bbls. at 5 dolls. 25c., and yesterday 100
at 5 dolls. 411 c. to 5 dolls. 37*c. according to tares.
Pearls have been in fair request at 6 dolls. 50c., at which
200 bbls. have been taken since our last, a decline since
the 14th of 37* cents. Sal Aratus is steady at 6* cents.
Exports from Ist to 21st September:—Pots, 780 bbls.;
pearls, none.
Cotton —Our last review left the market here in a de-
pressed condition, which has been increased by the late
advicel from abroad. The decline for a week past is

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—The First October tryst at Newmarket has
passed away, and left—though a substantial meeting—
but a very dim shadow behind; in fact, though the racing
for the First October Meeting was excellent, yet with
the exception of the " flare-up" for the Hopeful, it was
of that peculiar nature which bears not upon future
events, at any rate, those in the market.
" So let it be;
Portents and prodigies are lost on me."
This exclamation, put into the mouth of Don Giovanni,
applies exceedingly well to my case; racing portents are
mere will-o'-the-wisps to lure on to destruction adven-
turous speculators in the odds; and equine prodigies, or
what are termed such, blaze up momentarily in a very
hopeful manner: then, when fortunes are invested on
them their chance expires, a case of foreclosure on the cash
ensues, and the public, through their own recklessness,
are let in for it wholesale; ruin is sometimes the
consequence of this " potting" mania;
" Our passions gone, and reason in her throne,
Amazed we see the mischiefs we have done."

SOUTHWARK.

On Saturday Edward Austin, formerly a bookbinder
in the Walworth-road, was finally examined on a
charge of forging and uttering forged cheques.
Mr. Mullens, of the firm of Bush and Mullens, at-
tended on the part of the London and Westminster
Bank.

It appeared that on the 19th ult. the prisoner went
to J. Sullivan, of No. 16, Great Peter-street, West-
minster, and produced to him a letter, purporting to
be from the prisoner's solicitor, containing a cheque
for 101. 10s., which the prisoner said was part of the
money for some property he had sold. Sullivan, be-
lieving that the prisoner, whom he had known for
some years, had some property, at his solicitation ad-
vanced him 12s. 6d., until he could get the cheque
changed, and detained the cheque for that purpose.
On the following morning Sullivan went with it to
the Borough branch of the London and Westminster
Bank, when he found it to be a forgery. It further
appeared that on the 20th ult., the prisoner also went
to Mr. Hythe, a bootmaker in Little Chapel-street,
Westminster, and producing a cheque for 201., pur-
porting to be signed by a Mr. Chester, wanted to
borrow seven shillings, under a similar pretence, but
he fortunately only lent him sixpence. When taken
to the bank it was found to be a forgery. Mr. Chester
having proved that neither of the signatures was his,
several other cases of a similar character were gone
into, and the prisoner was committed to Newgate for
trial upon the whole of them.

MANCHESTER YARN AND CLOTH

REPORT.
(From the Stockport Mercury.)
MANCHESTER, THURSDAY, FIVE O'CLOCK.
1- On
Monday the stoppage of the large mercantile and
banking-house of Messrs. Rougemont and Co., and
Messrs. John Thomas, Son, and Lefevre, of Lon-
don, for very large amounts, caused an unusual
sensation here, as it was well known that the
extensive Russian house of Messrs de Jersey
and Co. derived their funds immediately from the
latter source. All doubts, however, were at an
end on Tuesday morning by the suspension of Messrs.
de Jersey and Co. distributing liabilities through-
out the manufacturing districts variously estimated
at a very large amount. This being one of the
largest houses in,the trade for the exportation of yarn
to Russia, some :idea of its magnitude may be
formed from the fact, that during the shipping sea-
son 80 tons of yarn have been daily in the
habit of being packed and forwarded to Hull for
shipment. For a period of twentyyears and upwards,
this mercantile house has, notwithstanding the im-
manse amount of engagements, successfully sur-
mounted every vicissitude of the times during that
long period, and preserved its integrity inviolate, and
its honour unsullied. Sanguine hopes are entertained
that the firm will shortly resume payment. At the
same time Messrs. James Nephew and Co., commis-
sion merchants, also announced their inability to
meet the claims upon them which amount to 22,000/.,1
but being divided in many hands will on that account
not be so severely felt.
In Liverpool numerous failures are current, the
must important being Messrs. J. and H. Murry and
and Co., iron
corn, or railway speculation, which has caused
in cotton,
corn, an un-
easy feeling to hang over that market, and daily to
reducelve have prices
pleasureo f colonial
inu
produce.anno n
cing the continual
payment by Messrs. Birley, Corrie, and Co whose
business has hitherto proceeded as usual, without the
slightest interruption, having never been suspended.
The practice yet pursued by the Bank of England,
requiring all bills to be retired instanter, before due,
when discounted by them, in cases of insolvency, calls
loudly for redress, and has proved one of the most
fruitful sources of disaster during the present crisis.
The export demand for yarn and cloth, though
quiescent, is not subdued—very little business has
this week been transacted, but prices, under all cir-
cumstances, continue firm; indeed, the want of confi-
dence, and the fear of impending evil, operates with
far more influence upon the market than want of
oTders, The home trade continues lively.

for assaulting Mr. Thomas Andrewes, on the 21st
instant, while walking to an office in the Temple.
Mr. Fooks, of the Chancery bar, attended for the
defendant, and Mr. Charnock for the complainant.
Mr. Charnock begged to give an outline of the case
before he called evidence. On Tuesday night a ball
came off in Gower-street, which bad been got up by
some young ladies. The defendant and complainant
were present, and the former danced with the sister
of the latter. All went pleasantly till a polka was
danced, when the defendant went through it in such
an indelicate manner, that complainant could not
refrain from going up to him and kicking him in
the presence of the whole company. After the
ferment had subsided, the dancing was renewed,
and after some time the complainant retired with the
lady he wits dancing with. Next morning he found
the defendant and a friend, each armed with a heavy
oak stick, waiting for him in the Temple, and the
defendant asked him if he was prepared to make him
a very humble apology for kicking him on the pre-
vious night. Complainant said " Yes, he would do so,
as soon as defendant had made a humble apology for
the indecent manner in which he had polkaed with
his sister." The defendant immediately raised his
large stick and aimed a blow at his head. Com-
plainant endeavoured to parry it with a thin stick, but
it broke, and complainant received several blows.
This scene occurred in Hare-court, and happily it
was stopped by the interference of Mr. Horne, the
barrister. He was sure the alderman would say Mr.
Mead was not justified, after sleeping upon the
matter, in going in cold blood and attacking his client
in this manner, with a thick stick, when he was un-
prepared.
Mr. Alderman Gums said he thought, upon the
compl*inant's own showing, that he was the aggressor,
and he should therefore leave him to indict at at the
sessions, without going into the evidence, and with-
out requiring any bail from Mr. Mead, not even his
own recognizance.
Mr. Mead said he was very sorry for that. He
had some of the ladies present to prove that he had
not transgressed the bounds of decorum.
Some of the ladies rose to speak togethar, but the
Alderman declared he had done with the matter, and
we only caught their opinion that Mr. Mead was
quite in order, and that the dance was a respectable
affair—a mere 'breaking•up school ball.
The parties retired, accompanied by a number of
their friends.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

THE ALLEGED ROBBERY AND ATTEMPTED MURDER
IN HYDE-PARIE.—John Robins, the man who was
brought up on Monday last, charged with robbery
and attempted murder, was again placed at the bar
for re-examination.

Mr. Wolfe, who appeared for the defendant, re-
quested Mr. Bishop, who is acting as chief clerk, to
read over the evidence of the last examination (the
particulars of which have already appeared in this
journal), This having been done, Mr. Wolfe pro-
ceeded to cross-examine the prosecutor at some length,
and elicited such a string of prevarication and im-
probabilities, that he submitted to the magistrate that
he (the prosecutor) was not entitled to belief.
A number of highly respectable tradesmen, several
of whom had known th; defendant for more than
twelve years, came forward and spoke very highly as
to his character and respectability.
Mr. HARDWICK commented at some length upon
the evidence adduced, alluding to the improbabilities
of the boy's statement, which, he observed, was one
tissue of falsehoods from beginning to end. He highly
commended Inspector Squire and Sergeant Gray for
the manner in which they had got up the case. He
should discharge the defendant, who would leave the
court without the slightest stain upon his character.

SURREY THEATRE.

An English version of the Fip,lia del Reggimento
has been brought out at this theatre, in which Miss
Poole, who is now Mr. Bunn's prima donna, sustains
the principal part. This you ng lady, one of our best
stage artists, combining much vocal skill with very su-
perior talent as an actress, is better adapted for this ex-
periment than any other English singer that we know
of ; and she has consequently met with very decided
success. Her execution of the catching " Rataplan "
is fresh and cheerful; and she is encored in this, as well
as in one or two other morceanx of this pleasant end ex-
hilarating opera. It may be remarked that the exigen-
cies of the music incidental to the principal character
have been considered
_with reference to the voice of
Miss Poole, and that such transpositions have been
made as are necessary— we may add, not much to the
detriment of the general musical effect. The other
parts are as well sustained as the state of Mr. Bunn's
operatic company will allow, and the ensemble is
satisfactory to those who are not too exigent, and are
pleased with zeal and good intention. There cannot,
however, be any want unattained as regards the bluff
and paternal Sergeant Sulpizio, which is capitally
played and sung by Mr. 11. Phillips. Mr. D. W.
King personates the rustic lover Tonio, and Mrs.
Daly the Countess. The English text has been sup-
plied by Mr. Firzball, who is a ready hand at adapta-
tions of the sort.

DARTMOOR CON SOLS MINING COMPANY.—Yester-
day a meeting of this company was held at the office, in
Lombard-street, City; Edward llolmes, Esq., in the
chair, for the purpose of receiving the report of Cap-
tains Spargo and Gregory on the state of the mine. It
appeared from this that they had cleared and secured
Two Brothers adit, which is upwards of 300 fathoms in
length, cellared and 'secured the necessary shafts, and
done other important works. They had also sunk six
fathoms of Henry's shaft, which had gone down between
two rich branches of tin, The cost to the end of October
was 6301., and the liabilities for other works would amount
to 2501. It was thought that 2,0001. would be sufficient
to erect all necessary machinery, and britrg, tin in the
market. They concluded by stating that the mine was
well worthy of notice, and would ultimately amply
reward the adventurers for their outlay. After the re-
port was read the meeting was ajourned for a fortnight,
to take place at Coggleshall, in Essex ; in the mean-
time a deputation would visit the mine in Cornwall, and
report to the next meeting.

WHITTINGYON CLUB.
A general meeting of nleAs'bers and other persons
interested in the institution wa‘s heid last evening, at
the Crown and Anchor, Strand, .to receive the report
of a committee appointed to raise a b'um of 5,000/.
by way of loan for the purpose of establia hing a west,
end club-house.
The CHAIRMAN (Mr. Shaen) expressed ,his regret
at the absence of Mr. Douglas Jerrold, who vvas pre-
vented from attending by a domestic affliction.
The report of the committee announced the success
of the City branch of the club, which has been
opened for some months, notwithstanding the tempo-
rary check which had been experienced in conse-
quence of the recent fire. It had been for some time
in contemplation to open a western branch, and with. this object the committee had made arrangements to
take the Crown and Anchor, the building in which
they were at present assembled. The funds of the
institution being inadequate for the purpose, the com-
mittee had been appointed to raise a loan of 5,000/.,
in shares of .5/. each. Towards this, 660 shares had
been taken, the number at present required to be
taken up being only forty. The committee, there-
fore, appealed to the meeting to raise the remaining
amount, which might be effected in shares of 11.
each.

The CHAIRMAN stated that among the gentlemen
who hail come forward with assistance were Mi.
Lushingwn, the Member for Westminster, 20 shares;
Mr. Douglas Jerrold, 10 shares ; Mr. Mark Lernon,
10 shares; and Mr. Charles Dickens, 5 shares.
Mr. LAIDMAN tillen moved a resolution, expressing
the satisfaction of the meeting at the result of the
operations of the committee, and pledging themselves
by every means in their power to aid the further
proceedings.
Mr. HORNSBY seconded the resolution, which was
further supported by Mr. PEACOCK and Mr, PARRY.
The resolution was then carried, and pr oceedings
stayed for about half an hour, during which time the
names of additional shareholders were taken, and on
the result being announced it appeared that 5/ addi-
tional (11.) shares had been subscribed.
The proceedings terminated by a vote of thanks to
the Chairman.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.
On the whole, a fair average quantity of English
Wheat has been received up to our market since Mon-
day, and the show of samples of that grain to-day was
moderate. The attendance of buyers being on the in-
crease, the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home pro-
duce was very firm, and Monday's currencies were fully
supported in every instance. There was a slight im-
provement in the sale for foreign Wheat, but we can
notice no actual advance in the quotations. Superfine
malting Barley was quite as dear, but grinding and dis-
tilling sorts were the turn lower. For all kinds of malt
we have to report a very dull inquiry, at barely sta-
tionary prices, The best qualities of Oats, both English
and foreign, were quite as dear, but the inferior sorts
were much negketed. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and
Flour, commanded very little attention.

A E.
31 One half the world aro desolately single, and the other
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-
cemprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health shouldform an 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. CULVERWELL'S little
MEMOIRS On Single and Married Life," pub. in 2 vols., Is.
each (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
reined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
by misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle cariosity, but
for the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth ea
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or
together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore. two other
little publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,
by post le. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely
pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
servance of the maxims he would ineulcate—t3 do unto others as he
would be done unto —to live after nature's laws—and to keep always
on the " sunny side of the way." The above works may be had of
Sherwood, 23, Paternoster-row ; Carvalho, 147, Fleet •street ; Mann,

BRITISH COLLEGE of HEALTH, New-
road, London.—The principles of the Hygeian theory are con-
tained in the following propositions :-1. The vital principle s con-
tained in the blood. 2. Everything in the body is derived from the
blood. 3. All constitutions are radically the same. 4. All diseases
arise frosn.the impurity of the blood, 01, in frnrn sr.vt
monious humours lodged in the body. 5. This humour, which de-
generates the blood, has three sources—the maternine, the conta-
gious, and the personal. 6. Disease and pain have the same origin,
and may therefore be considered synonymous terms. 7. Purgation
by proper vegetable purgatives is the only effcctuual mode of eradi-
cating disease. 8. Experience of upwards of twenty years has amply
proved MORISON'S VEGETABLE UNIVERSAL MEDICINE to
be such proper vegetable purgative. 9. FrOiti-the intimate connexion
subsisting between the mind and the body, the health of theone must
conduce to the serenity of the other. Hygeism--The science of health.
Hygeist—A promoter of health. Hygeian—Pertaining to the science
of health. These terms have not been adopted through an affecta-
tion of singularity, but merely for the sake of drawing a sufficiently
broad line of demarcation between the old and new schools.

Ministers have adopted the constitutional course of
calling together the representativesohf.eh the people, to
w
deliberate upon the circumstances rendered a
departure from the ordinary law of the land an act
Mit merely of sound policy, but of actual necessity,
to obtain their opinion as to the propriety of the sus-

to the new measures by which it is proposed to re-
gulate the monetary affairs of the country. In a few
days the Gazette will contain the proclamation sum-
moning Parliament to assemble on the 18th of No-
vember for the diSpatch of business. This is as it
should be, and affords a favourable augury for our
future prospects, ar:d a reasonable hope that we may
speedily be extricated from the financial difficulties
and the general distress in which the entire nation has
been involved from too obstinate an adherence to a

THE APPALLING SUICIDE IN

ST. PAUL'S CATHEDRAL.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.—Yesterday morning, about
half-past one o'clock, a most determined case of self-
destruction was committed in St. Paul's Cathedral
by Mr. W. Davison, a solicitor, of Bread-street,
Cheapside, and 21, Bloornsbury-square. The un-
fortunate gentleman was well known in the City, and
was for a period of thirteen years one of the members
of the Common Council for Bread-street Ward. Of
late a decided change in his manners had been noticed
by his friends, and they were all of opinion that his
mind had, from some cause, been slightly impaired,
but no one ever imagined that he contemplated self-
destruction. Yesterday morning he left his private
residence at the usual hour, and, it is believed, went
to the Exchange to transact some private business.
From there, it appears, he went to St. Paul's Ca-
thedral, paid the admission money to enter the whis-
pering gallery, and shortly afterwards Thompson,
who has charge of the gallery, noticed the un-
fortunate gentleman climb over the railings that
surround the gallery, and deliberately throw himself
over. He fell with a crash that completely echoed
through the building. Several persons immediately
went to his assistance, when they found him nearly
lifeless. Without delay they removed him to St.
Bartholomew's Hospital, but he expired on the road
thither. The surgeons, upon making an examina-
tion, found that the right leg was fractured, the ribs
forced in, the lower jaw shattered, and the teeth
knocked out. The height the deceased fell it is
understood was upwards of one hundred and thirty
feet. Upon searching the unfortunate deceased a 51.
Bank of England note, 5/. in gold, and 18s. in silver,
were found in his pockets, and also a number of bank
bills and other documents. He had also a gold watch
and a bunch of keys in his possession. The ring
which held the keys together was broken into half a
dozen pieces by the force of the fall. One of the
vergers was sent to his friends to inform them of the
melancholy event.
