m One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questimsably 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-
cornprosing 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 should form an item

CRUELTY IN A WORKHOUSE.
BOLTON, OCT. 4.—For some days past the greatest
excitement has prevailed in this town, in consequence
of a rumour which has been pretty generally cir-
culated, that a man, named John Roth well, an
inmate of the workhouse, had been flogged to death
by one of the male nurses. The circumstance com-
ing to the knowledge of Mr. Taylor, the borough
coroner, he issued his warrant for holding an inquest
on the body, when evidence was adduced.

James Rostom deposed that he was an inmate of
the borough workhouse. He knew the deceased John
Rothwell; he was twenty.seven years old. Witness
remembered the deceased going into the hospital on
Thursday week. Ile was then afflicted with dysen-
tery and was attended by Mr. Sharp. The nurse,
named Henry Bicknell, was in the habit of beating
the inmates with a whip. Witness remembered him
striking the deceased about a week ago. Bicknell
asked deceased to go to bed, but he said he would not.
Bicknell said if he did not go he would make him,
and he fetched the whip, which he used about the de-
ceased's legs ; after which he got hold of the small
end, and laid the butt en 3 about deceased's ribs and
back. Deceased had only his shirt on at the time ;
he got into bed and cried out " murder," upon which
Bicknell got hold of a sheet and tied it over his
mouth, to prevent him from being heard. On the
following morning witness observed that the skin
was knocked off from deceased's shoulder blade, and
the place looked much inflamed.
By the CORONER—He saw Bicknell beat deceased
again on Sunday, the 26th. It was between two
and three o'clock in the morning. Bicknell wanted
deceased to get into bed, but he would not, where-
upon he struck deceased several times over the tem-
ples, which caused him to fall on the floor. He was
assisted up again by witness. There was no cause
for Bicknell to strike the deceased. When Bicknell
brought in the whip, he said he had bought it on
purpose for them. Witness was afraid to inform the
Governor of Bicknell's conduct for fear he should
treat him in the same way. He remembered a female
nurse inquiring about the wounds upon deceased,
and also how he got a black eye. Witness said he
had fallen against a bedpost. He knew he was telling
a falsehood, but he durst not say to the contrary, for
fear of Bicknell. _ _ _

Several other paupers were examined, all of whom
corroborated the above testimony.
Mr. Sharp, the surgeon, said he saw deceased on
Tuesday week. He ordered him to be removed to
the hospital. The complaint was dysentery. He
also appeared to be a man of imbecile mind. Wit-
ness attended him from the time of his removal. He
observed a few days before his death a skin wound a
little below the cheek bone, which was attended with
a black eye. Witness asked what had caused it, and
was told that it was produced by deceased falling
when he got out in the night. 'Witness had made a
post mortent examination ; he considered the cause of
death was dysentery, and he considered the conduct
of the nurse towards the deceased was most brutal.
'there certainly was not any occasion to use violence
to the deceased.

The Coroner having summed up the evidence, the
jury returned a verdict, " That the deceased died
from dysentery, but they cannot separate without ex-
pressing their abhorrence of the brutal and inhuman
conduct of Bicknell, and they desired that he should
at once be removed from the situation."

ATTEMPTED SALE OF THE SURREY AND SUSSEX
ROADS.—THE EFFECT OF RAlLWAYS.—Yesterday, at
one o'clock, a general meeting of the trustees of the
Surrey and Sussex roads, Mr. Shadbolt in the chair,
was held at the Sessions-house, Newington, fir the pur-
pose of letting the tolls in the counties of Surrey and
Sussex, arising from the gates and bars at Newington,
Camberwell, Kennington, Vauxhall, Kingston, Croydon,
East Grinstead, &c., which were put up at the sum of
32,250/., for which they were let the previous year. The
lease cf them was to be from the 31st December next
for twelve months. Much interest was excited on this
occasion, as, i❑ consequence of the extension of the line
of the South-Western Railway from Nine Elms to the
York•roa'l, which it is expected will be open in six
months, and which will incur a loss of revenue of
about 6,0001. per annum, it was thought that a reduc-
tion would be proposed to that amount. Upon the
conditions of sale being read, one of which was " that
in case the South• Western Railway should open their
intended line during the year 1848, the lessee should
be at liberty to vacate his lease by giving thirty-five
days' notice of his intention to do so." Mr. T. Bewley
said that the trustees had no power to introduce a con-
dition which was not specified in the notice of sale.
The chairman maintained that the trustees had the
power to introduce the condition. Mr. Bewley observed
that he diffared with the dictum of the chairman,
though he would bow to his decision. The tolls were
then put up, but there was no offer for them, and it
was stated in the course of the sale, that during the
last four weeks there had been a falling off of 1001.
per week, in consequence of the railways south of the
Thames.

SCENERY ABOUT ANNE HATHAWAY'S COTTAGE.—
The scenery about the place is much the same as it must
have been a couple of centuries past. The weird hollows,
the deep paths through the orchard, the sunken lanes,
the rivulet singing through the sedge grass under the
drooping foliage that hides it from the light, are all of
the same character as of old, and appear to have suffered
hardly any change to make way for modern improve-
ments. As you walk through these primitive haunts,
you cannot help fancying how often Shakspere must
have walked there, looking into the eyes of Anne
Hathaway, and speculating dimly on the high destiny of
which he must have had conscious glimpses in his
inspired boyhoode—atlas.

THE WEST INDIA MAIL.

The Royal Mail steam-packet Teviot, Captain E.
May, arrived at Southampton soon after noon yes-
terday, bringing the usual mails, in charge of
Lieutenant Denston, R.N., Admiralty agent, and
39 passengers. Her dates are :—Tampico, 25th of
August; Vera Cruz, Ist of September; Havannah,
10th; Nassau, 13th; Honduras, 19th; Puerto Ca-
bello, 3d ; St. Jago de Cuba, 3d; La Guayra, 7th ;
Jamaica, Bth; Jacmel, 10th ; Puerto Rico, 12th;
Demerara, 4th; Tobago, 6th; Trinidad, sth; Bar-
badoes, Bth; Grenada, 9th; St. Vincent, 10th; St.
Lucia, 10th; Martinique, Dominique, and Guada-
lupe, 11th ; Antigua, Montserrat, Nevis, and St.
Kitt's, 12th ; Tortola, 13th ; St. Thomas's, 14th ;
Bermuda, 20th.
The Teviot brings 407,650 dolls. on merchants'
accounts, but none for dividends; 7191 oz. of 'Plata
bruta; Bilb. of platina ; 80 bales of tobacco; 95
cases of cigars ; 40 serons of cochineal, and 49 pack-
ages of sundries. She has encountered very severe
weather on her homeward voyage since the 27th
ult., which, in a great measure, accounts for her non-
arrival on Tuesday or Wednesday. She left her
Majesty's ship Persian at Vera Cruz, and two French
and three American corvettes; her Majesty's survey-
ing ships Thunder and Lark, at Bermuda, and also

the Growler steamer, from the coast of Africa.
The Royal Mail packet Medway left Havannah,
Sept. 9, for Vera Cruz. The Trent was at Grenada,
bound for Jamaica; the Conway left Grenada, Sept.
9, for Trinidad ; the Reindeer left Barbadoes, Sept. 8,
for Demerara; the Clyde was at Jamaica, and would
leave for England on the 23d of September; the
Eagle at St. Thomas's, the 14th,. and the Dee at
Bermuda, when the Teviot left.
Mr. Edwards, Ordnance storekeeper, died on board
the Royal Mail steam-packet Eagle, and was buried
at St. Thomas's, with military honours; and Mr. C.
Beverley, Deputy-Assistant Commissary-General,
died on board the Teviot, sth of October, and was
buried at sea. Lieutenant Miller, R.N., late Ad-
miralty agent of the Great Western, died at the

hospital, liavannah, August 11.
We have received our usual files of papers by the
Teviot, and learn from them that the Chamber of
Commerce, Jamaica, had been organizing a combined
movement in aid of the West India Colonies, and by
a circular, dated Sept. 8, dispatched per Teviot to
Barbadoes, Trinidad, Antigua, St. Vincent, and De-
merara, and by other means to other places, a meet-
ing of two delegates from each West India Isle and
British Guinea had been convened, to take place at
St. Thomas's, then and there to consider the evils to
which the British planter was exposed by the effects
of free trade on colonial productions. We publish the
circular.from the Jamaica Dispatch of the Bth ult.:—
" Chamber of Commerce, Kingston, Jamaica,

Sept. 8, 1847.-
" Sir,—lt has appeared advisable to this Chamber
that, in the present alarming condition of West India
property under the unequal competition to which the
British planter has been exposed by the application of
free trade to colonial productions, some combined de-
monstration should be made by all the West India
colonies, in the hope that by an energetic and unani-
mous appeal to the justice of the British people the
ruin which seems impending may be averted.
"So far as Jamaica is concerned, it is clear that
such a competition as that to which she is now ex•
posed must, at a very early period, extinguish sugar
cultivation altogether; and this Chamber cannot
doubt that most of th other West India colonies
must equally with herself sink under so unjust a
system.

" Under these circumstances it is proposed by this
Chamber that a convocation of delegates from each of
the West India islands, as well as from British Guiana,
should assemble, at such an early day as may be
agreed on, at the island of St. Thomas, in order to re-
solve on such a combined movement in support of the
declining interests of these important colonies as may
carry with it all the weight and importance due to the
property and intelligence of her Majesty's subjects in
the West Indies.

"It is suggested that meetings with this view
should be held throughout the several islands, and
two delegates selected from each, for the purpose above
mentioned, and I am directed to request that the
Chamber may be made acquainted at as early a period
as possible with the wishes of your colony upon this
subject. —I have the honour to be, Sir, your most
obedient humble servant,
" WILLIAM GIROD, Secretary."

The following from the Jamaica Dispatch is very
satisfactory as regards the weather, and other accounts
confirm the favourable change :
"THE WEATHER IN ST. MARY'S.—We are glad to
learn that copious showers have lately fallen in the
above parish, which had suffered so severely from a
drought of long continuance, whereby the estates had
been considerably retarded, not only in the manufac-
ture of produce, from want of water to supply the
wills and engines, but in establishing a growing field.
Canes already fit for the bill could not be subjected to
that process in consequence of the loss of tops it would
have involved. But since the rains, to all appearance,
set in, the estates have been active in every depart-
ment."

The Trinidad Standard of the 4th ult. gives the
following account of the position of that island :
" During the month we have had a continuance of
the most seasonable weather. The pluvioineter at our
office indicates the depth of rain fallen from August
5,h to date as having been 8 inches 3.loths. It will
be seen by this that we have had an abundance of
rain. The heat during the earlier part of the month
especially has been unusually great,
arid a catarrhal
epidemic has prevailed to a great extent, assuming n
i
the cases of children attacked by it the form of hoop-
ing cough. In other respectse believe, the island
,
w
is generally healthy. On the 21st we were visited, at
twenty minutes past one o'clock, A.M., with a shock
of earthquake, which we learn from our intercolonial
files was also felt at Grenada. The produce shipped
to date has been as follows cr Suar-24,853 hhds.,
1,838 tierces, 5,676 barrels. Molasses-9,903 puns.,
341 tierces. Rum-389
puns. Cocoa-3,181,5611b.
Coffee-102,5411b. Cotton-41 serons; and the num-
ber of immigrants arrived has been—
men, 1,652 ;
women, 583 ; children, 303 ; making a total of 2,538
from the Ist of January. Our arrivals this month
have been rather scanty.
" The steamer Growler, the vessel set apart by her
Majesty's Government for immigration purposes,
arrived here on her way back from Demerara, where
she carried four hundred and fifty-nine liberated
Africans, taken from captured slavers. Her next trip
will be for the benefit of this colony. It is to be hoped
that this arrangement may prove completely success-
ful, and that, in consequence, we may have a larger
accession to our labouring population of effective and
permanently resident labourers."

The ordinance which had passed fixing is. per
gallon on all rum made for local consumption was
most unpopular, and public meetings were being held
to obtain a removal of the restriction.
The drought continued at Barbadoes and Grenada.

" 6. Neither army, nor any detachment or indivi-
dual of either, shall pass the neutral limits established
by the last article, except under flags of truce bearing
the correspondence between the two armies, or on the

be kindly warned off or sent back to their own armies
under flags of truce.

needed by the American army.
"8. All American prisoners of war remaining in

in the city of Mexico prior to the existing war, and

trade remain unmolested.

" 13. Those wounded prisoners, who may desire
to remove to some more convenient place for the pur-
pose of being cured of their wounds shall be allowed

doing so if their services be required.

a third.

" 16. This convention shall have no force or effect
unless approved by their Excellencies the Comman-,
ders respectively of the two armies, within twenty-
four hours, reckoning from six o'clock of the 23d day
of August, 1847.

REVIEW OF THE JAMAICA MARKETS.
(From De Cordova's Mercantile Intelligencer.)
The business of the past fortnight has not been
marked with any new feature ; indeed, there has not
been any change in the state of our market since the
period of our last issue. Some trifling improvement
has occurred in the price of a few articles, but it is to
be attributed rather to their scarcity then to the re-
vival of a speculative demand. Purchases continue
to be made merely for immediate consumption, while
the pressure on the money market has not been re-
lieved in the slightest degree.
Flour—The market for this article has slightly
improved, the reduced stock, and the intelligence
from America of an advance in prices there, having
created a better inquiry. The only sale of any con-
sequence, however, which has been effected since our
last issue, was one of 1,000 barrels Baltimore, at 36s
cash. New Orleans is

effected.

Meal—The 800 barrels New Orleans referred to
in our last have been parted with at 14s. to 14s. 6d.
Upwards of 900 barrels have arrived from Baltimore,
220 of which having been damaged were disposed of
