WESTERN ,ClRCerr—Chester, July 30.
CROWN Co,car..---(llefore Mr. Justice ERSKINE.)
James liampton and Thomas Hampton, two remarka•
bly sArong, fine-looking young men, twins, of i
the age
of,.
28 years, were indicted for feloniously breakingiito
the counting-house of Messrs. Skerratt and Romer, ai.d
stealing therefrom a quantity of bank notes and money,
amounting to upwards of 1,100/. There were counts in
the indictment also charging the misoners with a larceny.
The Attorney-General of the Palatine (Mr. Hill) and
Dr. Brown appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Yardley
for the prisoners.
The tacts of the case were briefly these :—The prose-
cutors, Messrs. Skerratt and Romer, arc solicitors, re-
siding at Sandbach, in this county. On the 22d of
January last, the prosecutors placed a large sum of
money in au iron safe in their counting-house, contrary
• to their usual custom. During the night the place was '
broken open and robbed. An entry had been effected
through one of the windows, the iron safe forced, and
between 50 and GO Si. notes of the Imperial Bank of
Manchester, 3,1001. Bank of England notes, 750/. notes
of the same bank, 6 bank post bills for 501. each, and a
number of other notes, the amount of which was not stated.
From the foot-marks in the snow about the place of rob-
bery, it appeared that only two persons had been engaged
in the robbery. The prisoners were apprehended a few days
afterwards, and taken to a lock-up in Middlewhich, from
which they contrived during the night to escape, and
were not again taken until the 20th of April, in Sheffield.
On the prisoners some sovereigns and silver were found,
but not notes. In James Hampton's house was found a
chisel, which, on being compared with the marks on the
counting-house door, exactly corresponded. There
also a pair of shoes claimed by him which corresponded
with the footmarks near the counting-house. It was 4140
proved that on the day after the Jobbery' the pi-Loners

paid away two Imperial Bank notes fora shawl and some
cotton cord, purchased by a Mrs. Edward.% at A. tilk*
called Innstile, nine miles from Stthdbach. At a public
house about three miles from Innstile, the priso-
ners showed other Imperial notes and asked for
change, but did not succeed in obtaining change.
One of the notes paid to Mrs. Edwards, endorsed by
Mr. John Medley, was produced and identified. The
examination of the prisoners before the Magistrates
were proved. James Hampton told hiS brother knew
nothing about the robleery ; that he gave the notes to
him, and it was time enough to say where the money,
was. The other prisoner admitted having purchased
the cord from Mrs. Edwards, but said his brother gave
him the note which he paid there. The Imperial Bank,
as is well known, has suspended payment long ago, and
those notes had been in the possession of the prosecutor,*
a considerable time.

Mr. Yardley took several objections to the indictment,
which were overruled by the Learned Judge, and, after
a lengthened investigation,
The prisoners were found
They were again indicted for a common larceny, for
having in their possession property which had been
stolen from the home of Mr. Ralph Young, who resides
in Staffordshire.

On this indictment they were also found Guilty.
The Learned JUDGE then sentenced them to seven
'ears' transportation each for each offence.

SATURDAY, JULY 31.

The Lord Chief Baron this morning left the city, and
consequently only one Court was open to-day.

THE lIAMPTONS.

The two Hamptons, tried yesterday and sentenced to
14 years' transportation, were this morning placed at the
bar, and the Learned Judge informed them that he
should recall the sentence he had passed on them for the
robbery of Messrs. Skerratt and Romer's counting-house,
in consequence of his doubt as to the applicability of
the evidence to the first count of the indictment, in
which the note produced and identified was called a bank-
note.

This was one of the points raised yesterday by Mr.
Yardley.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then, at the instance of
his Lordship, entered a noli prosequi to that count, and
a verdict of Guilty on the larceny counts was recorded.
The Learned JUDGE then sentenced them to seven
years' transportation for each offence.
Considerable interest was excited by the trial fixed
for this morning of Thomas Brooks for the murder of
Thomas Henshall, in consequence of the horrible manner
in which the deed was perpetrated, and the fact that the
widow of Ilenshall, who has been gradually sinking
since the occurrence, having within tho last few days
fallen a victim to a broken heart, leaving a family of
seven small , children unprovided for. The Court was
therefore crowded to excess.

'rho prisoner, who is a man of small property, was
placed at the' bar, and in a firm voice pleaded " Not
Guilty "to the indictment. He is a rather good:looking
man, thirty years Mirage, of sharp featuros, a keen pene-
trating eye, and certainly nothing ferocious in his ap
pearauce. His behaviour at the bar during the whole of
the day was that of an anxious spectator, if we except a
short period when the Judge was remarking on those
circumstances of the case which bore most strongly
against him, and during the time the Jury were con-
sidering their verdict, when there was a manifest rest-
lessness of mind which cztesed the perspiration to bedew
his face considerably.
The Attorney-General, Mr. Trafford, and Mr. Town-
send appealed for the prosecution, and Messrs. Jervis and
Welsby for the defence.
The prisoner was indicted by the name of Thomas
Brooks, for the wilful murder of Thomas Henshall, on
the 10th of September last, at Huxley.
The ATTORNEV-GENERAL having stated the case to
the Jury, evidence was adduced to substantiate the
charge, from which it appeared that the deceased was in
the employment of Mr. Garstang, who had taken the'
shooting over the estates of Mr. Wilbraham, of Rode-
hall, as a watcher of game. On the 10th of September,
1840, lie had been attending on Mr. Garstang and a
friend, who were engaged shooting in the adjoining
parish, Stapleford. About half-past sere-1 o'clock the
deceased left Mr. Garstang and his friend at Tarvin,
perfectly sober, having previously been paid 21. Bs. by
that gentleman. About half-past eight o'clock, he was
seen on his way home, and about two miles from his re-
sidence. He was not again seen alive ; but next morn-
ing, about seven o'clock, he was found in a gap in a
hedge, separating two fields, about 300 yard.; from his
own house. He was lying on his left side. quite dead and
cold, and his right hand trousers' pocket, in which it was
supposed the money he had received from Mr. Garstang
had been deposited, was turned inside out, and only a
few pence were found on him. The next piece of
dence offered on behalf of the prosecution was the depo-
sition of Sarah Henshall, the widow of the deceased. It
was proved by Mr. Domville, clerk to the Magistrates,
that he took this deposition, but in cross-examination he
admitted having copied nearly the whole of it from a pa-
per furnished to him as a deposition taken before the Co-
roner, but it was not authenticated as such. After being
asked about a dog and the report of a gun, respecting
which she made a statement, she was asked if the con-
tents of the paper were true, and swore to it in the pre-
sence of a Magistrate and the prisoner, who declined ask-
ing her any question.
This deposition, it was argued by the Counsel for the
prisoner, could not be evidence against him, inasmuch as
it was nothing more than an affidavit ; that it was not
her own voluntary statement at all, but the portion of it
to which her attention had been directed might be con-
sidered a leading question of the most vicious description,
and therefore it would be extremely dangerous to admit
such evidence.
The Learned JUDGE, after hearing the counsel for the
prosecution on the subject, decided that the deposition
could not be received as evidence, inasmuch as it was not
the result of any examination at all, but merely a paper
read aver to her, and adopted by her OR oath.
Mr. Domville then proceeded to state, in orossexami-
nation by Mr. JERVIS, that the prisoner vvas taken into
custody on the 11th of September; but discharged after
the inquest, on the 12th that he then returned home,
and continued to follow his usual avocation until Novem-
ber, when he was again apprehended, In the meantime
a reward of 2001. had been offered for the discovery of
the murderer, and the assistance of Inspector Holman
and Mr. Hill, superintendent of the Chester police, had
been obtained. The witness also stated that the Magis-
trates refused admission to the legal adviser of the pri-
soner to the examination; until an order Wad gent down

Mr, B. Earl, a stuvoti; residing at Tarvin, deposed to

Mary Heaton, who resides at Huxley, stated, that on

prisoner, but would not swear it was.

John Ellson, shoemaker, stett2d that on the night of
the murder he was at 0. lee called Cookon's-bridge,

Stewardson took the prisoner into custody on the
evening of the 11th of September, at his own house. On
going there he found the prisoner in bed. He got up,
and witness told him his errand, on which the prisoner
said, "18 he dead ?" "Witness said, " Yes ; don't y-eu
know II" to which the prisoner replied that he had never
heard of it before. Witness was accompanied by Ed-
ward Jones, another constable, The house was searched
and two guns found loaded, one of which was a double-
barrelled gun and the other single. The latter, the pri-
soner said, belor.ged to Samuel Insbingham. The wit-
ness said he drew the charges, and produced the shot.
Two witnesses, and the examination 'of the prisoner
before the Magistrates, was the next evidence adduced
to show that the prisoner had been told of the murder
previous to the night of his apprehension, and that he
had made contradictory statements respecting the mur-
der. Mr. W. Low, gunsmith, examined the shot found
in the body, and also in the guns. They were of six
different sizes, Nos. 3,4, 5,6, 7,8, and the relative pro-
portions we...e similar, but the shot found in the body
of the deceased, and that in the gun said to belong to
Irishinghtin more nearly corresponded. Evidence was
next adduced to prove observations made by the prisoner
previous to the murder, to the effect that lienshall was a
spiteful man, and it would not surprise him if he were

soner for upwards of two hours, contending that the cir-

which would warrant them in convicting the prisoner.

evidence, and

nounced a verdict of Not Guilty.

During an interval of relaxation from their labours, some
of them commenced romping, and a young man, now in

however, successfully resisted, and slapped him in the
face. In an ebullition of passion he seized a pick, and threw
it at the young woman, who, however, stepped aside and
avoided the blow. The fork, however, struck another
young woman who was unfortunately close by, and in-
flicted a wound in the temple, which in the course of a
few days brought on locked jaw, and her death followed.
A verdict of" Manslaughter" was returned against the
prisoner, and he was committed to take his trial at the
ensuing Assizes.—Bristel Mirror.

NEW RAILWAY TRAIN CONTROLLER...-
Vienna letters describe a useful invention by an Infan-
try Captain, I_►err Ferdinand Freissauff de Neudegg, of
a simple and completely successful apparatus, enabling
the conductor of a steam train, by pressure on a spring,
immediately to detach the carriages foal the engine, and
instantly stop the former. The apparatus is said to be
further so contrived as to act of itself in the event or the
locomotive quitting the line of rails, spontaneously, gild
at once, effecting us ceparation from the rest of the train.

MEMOIR aoStPit HUME, ESQ:;

(From the Leeds Times.)
The history of Joseph Hume is a secord of patient in-
dustry and perseverance, perhaps, unexampled in the
whole range of our country's biography. With no lofty
endowment of genius or talent, he has nerertheleas heels
enabled to attain a high niche in the temple of fame. The
motto of Mr. Hume is, and has ever been "PERSEygRE;"
it is his high moral courage which Ills eilahred
that which higher. mes. Sol '4iltifications alone would
never hoses ITS'ea sufficient to accomplish.
oseph Hume was born in the borough of Montrose, in
Scotland, in the year 1777. His father, who was the cap-
tain of a trading vessel of that port! died Whitt hh ii as yet
young, leaving a lairs to the charge of his widow.
Mrs% litiffe is said to have been a person of extraordi-
Slaty perseverance, energy, and self-dependent habits ; and
there can be no doubt that it was the influence of her ex-
ample, her precepts, and her character, Which fed, matured,
and perfectedl tiniSe striking qualities which have since
rendered her son so distinguished a performer on the
stage of national events, and won for him the gratitude
and regard of so many of his countrymen% Mrs: Ittime
brought up her children in credit and comfort; imbuing
their minds with those strict moral and religious princi-
ples, which are considered so important a part of every
Scottish education. At an early age our hero was ap-
prenticed to a surgeon in Montrose, with whom he served
for three years. He rues afterwards sent to Edinburgh
University to pursue his studies, where, after the usual
course of learning, he was admitted a member of the Col-
lege of Surgeons in that City. In 1796 he made avoyage to
India; and after the lapse of twelve months, and undergoing
the usual examinations, he was admitted a member of the
London College of Surgeons. After a considerable period
of service in the East India Company's naval service, Mr.
Hume proceeded,_ in 1799, to Bengal, having been placed
on the medical establishment under that Presidency.
Soon after he landed in India, he was ordered to join
Lord Lake's army, at that time engaged in the Mahratta
war. During even the uncertainty and anxiety which
invariably accompany a state of warfare, the active fa-
culties of Mr. Hume's mind were never uneirployed. In
the bustle of a camp, and amid the laborious • duties of
his profession, he still found leisure to devote a suffi-
ciency of time to learn the Persic language ; and when
the sudden indisposition of Colonel Achmuty, at that
time interpreter to the army, had placed the Com-
mander of the British Indian forces in a most dis.
tressing situation, the only man found able to hold com-
munication with the natives was Mr. Hume, who was
immediately selected to fill the important office of
interpreter. He contrived to continue his medical
duties, and to fill, besides, the offices of Paymaster and
Postmaster of the troops—trusts which could only be
efficiently discharged by ono capable of holding direct
communication with the natives. : During the whole time
the army was in the field, his extraordinary powers of
application, and apparently natural taste for labour, ena-
bled him to unite
..in his person a variety of offices, to
which not merely honours, but considerable emoluments
were'attached ; and he performed his duties with such
activity and industry, as obtained for him the marked
approbation of the Commander-in-Chief, and recom-
mended him to his private friendship. Peace was con-
cluded in the year 1807-8, and Mr. flume soon after r e-
turned to England.
A life of mere idle enjoyment of wealth did not
suit the active temperament of Mr. Ilume. His ar-
dour in the pursuit of knowledge and information
on many subjects of vital interest, left him no time
for repose. Those who know any thing of Mr. Hume,
know his fondness for " facts ;" and to hunt up facts
he immediately devoted himself. But he did not go
to books only for these ; he went to men. In the
year 1809 he made a tour of minute observation through-
out the United Kingdom, and actually visited every place
of manufacturing celebrity in England, Scotland, and
Ireland. The inormation thus acquired only stimulated
his curiosity, and confirmed his habits of mind in favour
of fact-hunting. He next devoted the greater portions
of the years 1810 and 1811 to travels of observation in
Spain and Portugal, Turkey, Greece, Egypt, the lonian
Islands, Sicily, Malta, and Sardinia. He was now, by
the temper of his mind, the extent of his experience
and information, his habits of patient industry and re-
search, and the solidity of his fortunes in the world,
qualified to fill with effect, a seat in the Legislature of
his country, which had, for some time past, it is proba-
ble, been the guiding-star of his course. And now we
arrive at the commencement of the parliamentary career
of Mr. flume.
On his return to England, the seat for Weymouth
being rendered vacant by the death of Sir John John
stone, Mr. Hume was elected for that borough, and sat in
Parliament during the Session of 1812. At that period
the lines between Reformers and Tories were not so
clearly defined as they now are. Mr. Hume went into
Parliament for a Tory borough, and or; some occasions
supported, on others opposed (as in the case of the'Frame-
work Knitters' Bill), the then Tory Government. But
that his Parliamentary conduct was not palatable to the
Tory proprietors of the borough of Weymouth, is suffi-
ciently proved by the fact, that the Trustees of Sir John
Johnstone declined to return him to the next Parliament.
His next sphere of public activity was out of doors.
At that period several great social projects were in the
course of advancement, into which Mr. Hume threw
himself with his accustomed energy. The supporters of
Lancasterian schools found in him a zealous co-operator.
He was long a member of the Central Committee to
effect their extensive adoption. The plan for Savings'
Banks, which was afterwards adopted, was first recom-
mended in a pamphlet by Mr. Hume. In the Court of
East India Proprietors he commenced to advocate a
system of liberal and enlightened policy ; and so early
as 1813 he stood alone, contending in the Court of Pro-
prietors for freedom of trade, against the united up-
holders of monopoly.
Six laborious years were thus passed. In the year
1818, however, he was solicited to become a candidate
for his native town of Montrose, and the other five towns
composing that district of boroughs, and was a second
time returned to Parliament, His independent conduct
there tiOntl rendered him a " marked man'' by the Tories,
and at the election which succeeded the accession of
George IV. to the throne, an opposition was started,
backed by all the interest of the Crown, which neverthe-
less Mr, Itume was enabled to overcome, after one of the
' severest struggles which the people of the Montrose dis-
trict had ever witnessed. Since that period, Mr. Hume
has been constantly before the public, and has generally
pursued one ittlifOrni and undeviating course of public
uontluot, Never a week has passed that he has been out
of sight. There is scarcely a page of the Parliamentary
Register which does not record some one or other of his
says and doings. to every department of reform
has he been at work—in the finances, the re-
Velitte, the public accounts, the excise, the army
and navye the . ehurch; the representation of the
people in Ptiflittirterit; the emancipation of Catho-
lics and Dissenters front their religions disabilities---in
all these. departments of .Reform, has Mr, ilttate greatly
distitignished himself. As has been remarked, :Mr.
Hunie may claim the merit of having, during a period of
twenty yeiii% itt Which he retained a seat in the House,
been more uninterruptedly active than any other Mem-
ber in it: The leader of the assembly for the time Whig
may have risen tts often and made longer speeches ; but
he has been respited after a season, and has found re-
pose on another bench: Mr: iltune's duty, voluntarily
imps t2cl upon bits been continuous, Under every
dfitifillistralion, his labours have been renewed. No
change has brought change to him, in the matter of at-
tendance and exertion ; nor can .we conceive it possible
for him to survive that day (not very likely to dawn at
present) in which, having ransacked the deepest drawer
of his desk, for Parliamentary documents, he should find
himself left without an abuse to investigate, or a griev-
ante to be redressed I
We ean here refer only iti general terms, to the sub-
jects upon which Mr. Hume has bestowed the largest
portion of his energies since his election in 1818.
cial questions have always been his favourites. With
these he began his career as a Reformer. During
several Sessions after his return to ?ornament, he never
failed to show, at every opportunity, that the financial
accounts of ie Government, as laid before the House,
were imperfect, and that frauds, to an Immense amount,
might be (as most probably they were) committed
without the possibility of detention. Undaunted by
defeat, Mr. Hume, year by year, persevered in his as-
saults. The man who stuck to his point with such perti-
nacity, must have had ground for complaint. Attention
was awakened ; converts came slowly dropping in ;
and at length Mr. Hume obtained a Select Committee of
the House of Commons to inquire into the state of
the public accounts. On the 31st of July, 1822, the
Committee made its Report, in'which Ministers were
compelled to admit, " that the then form of the accounts
neither did nor could exhibit any balance between the
income .and the expenditure," and that " no true balance
could be struck between the income and the expendi-
ture." Such had long been the mode of making up the
annual national finance statements. From the date of
this Report the annual finance accounts have been
greatly improved. Mr. Hume carried on his labours-in-
cessantly, and contributed to overthrow the sinking fund
system—a State fraud that had long cheated and deluded
the country. Through Mr. home's exertions in regard
to financial' affairs, to retrenchment, and reductions ge-
nerally, to pensions, sinecures, and salaries, a saving is
said to have been realised to the country of two Millions
a-year in peace, and five millions a year in war. Surely
this is something for one man to have accomplished
evcp, through the Midst Of defeat, arid eentumely, and
/ A 44
But this is not all It IS 113 t oneznenotestitt pin of
what flri Hume has accomplished. There is riot it de-
partinetit Of tieform in Which he haS not been a labourer.
IN has liboiged to iteetimpligh church reform, though
hitherto with but small success ; abolition of military
flogging; naval impressment; arid imprisonment for debt ;
reforiti iti the tirlisfitial and abolition of death
punishments. His exertions greatly contributed to the
repeal of the combination laws, and of the Act with-
holding from working men the right of going abroad.
He has been a zealous advocate for Free Trade in every
branch of industry. He has exerted himself greatly on
the subject of taxes on knowledge, Post-office Reform,
colonial slavery, countyAutes bill, election expenses, and
the fraudulent light-house system. His advocacy of
Catholic emancipation and the Reform Bill was con.
spicuous ; and his share of the honour of destroying
the odious Orange-lodge system, and detecting the Cum-
berland conspiracy, was a large and memorable one.
His efforts at reform in every department of the army,
navy, and ordnance have been incessant.
All these labours have been acknowledged by the ex -
tensive popularity to which they have led. the cities
of London, .Edinburgh, Gloucester, and many other
places, have presented him with their freedom. In 1824
he was elected to the Lord Rectorship of the University
of the Marischal College of Aberdeen ; and in 1830, the.
distinguished honour was paid to him by the electors of
Middlesex, of returning him to Parliament as their re-
presentative. The rage of the Tories at this election
knew no bounds ; and by . dint of great efforts in the
Registration Courts they were enabled . to unseat Mr
Itume at the general election in 1837. Since then he re-
presented the city of Kilkenny in Ireland.
During the last Parliament, Mr, (Ituns was as bide-

they did, and opposition serves but to rouse him to new

hensive speeches ever delivered on the subject in the
House of Commons ; free • trade, which by has taken
every pdssible opportunity of advocating ; and various
other metunitcs of financial eduhrthy end retrench-

which Mr. Hume has ever yet performed—at least the
one likely to lead to the most important resuLs—is the
expOstiN, iliiieii iln lino been u;pinly instrumental in
making, of the shameful Aires in the trititdt tariff, which
rob the people without benefiting the revenue, and
a needless injury upon every branch of Britigh industry.
Hume moved for the appointment of the Import Du-
ties Committee in the ilonsc of Commons about a twelve-
month ago, and, as Chairman, was instrumental in eli-
citing that important mass of information which has al-
ready been distributed in a thousand forms over the
length and breadth of the country, and which has un-
questionably determined the present Ministers to promul-
gate their new scheme of commercial reforu, for the re-
lief of industry, as well as for the replenishment of the
exhausted coffers of the State.

The recent history of Mr. Hume is soon told. On the
late dissolution cf Parliament he was inde?ed to stand
For the borough of Leeds, with every "plospeet of being
triumphantly returned. We need secreely say how fal-
lacious such representations proved. Mr. Hume was de-
feated, and Leeds has affixed to it the disgrace of having
expelled'from Parliament one of. the most useful public
men who has ever lived. The loss is no loss to Mr.
Hume, but to his country. For himself he will be a
great gainer ; but She questions which Mr. Hume had
made his own will no longer have the benefit of his able
and fearless advocacy in Parliament.
About a fortnight ago, Mr. Hume left London to
spend a few weeks upon the Continent of Europe. For
the time being he is out of Parliament ; but we may
with safety predict that his exclusion will not -be of
long continuance. Numerous constituencies await the
fint opportunity to call upon him to represent them ;
and we should not wonder if before three months are
over, we may again find ,him in his place in the House
of Commons, watching over the national expenditure, and
contributing
.by the moral influence of his example to
propagate' a sense of honesty. integrity, and economy,
in the expenditure of the public money.

THE ESSEX CORN-LAW RE-
PEALERS.

The'cause of Corn•law repeal goes on swimmingly in
this coimty. From the zeal with which meetings are
everywhere held, the crowds by which lectures are at-
tended, and the alacrity with which Associations are got
up, the happiest augury may be drawn as to the progress
of anti-monopoly feeling in Essex. A meeting which in
point of number and respectability completely outstrips
any previous one, was the other day held at Barking.
Mr. Sidney Smith, the well-known and talented Chair-
man of the Anti-Corn-law League was present, and,
along with several other gentlemen, addreSsed the
meeting upon the grievances of the Corn-laws. The va-
rious speakers were listened to with great unanimity and
enthusiasm of feeling, and resolutions highly condemna-
tory of the principles and effects of the Corn-laws unani-
mously agreed to. The same evening another and a
similar meeting was held at Stratford, a place only about
three miles distant fom Barking, under the auspices of
the Anti-Corn-law Associatiol of the district, and various
resolutions cordially passed, embodying the decided
opinion of the meeting as to the injurious consequences
of the Corn-laws, not only upon our foreign relations,
but upon the great bulk of our population at home.

FEMALE CORN-DEALERS OF CHARTRES.—
There is a corn-market every Saturday at Chartres, the
most important in France, with the exception of Paris.
It is worth visiting, for the sake of seeing the operations
of the women, to whom the entire duty of measuring the
corn, delivering it to the buyers, receiving the price, and
paying it over to the sellers, is confided. These women
are more expressively than elegantly termed " leveuses de
culs-de-poche ;" ,oche signifying, in the dialect of La
Beauce, the sack in which the grain is brought to market.
These women form an organised corporation, which has
existed for several centuries. They enjoy a reputation
for the strictest integrity ; which is indeed sufficiently
attested by the fact, that the whole transactions of the
matket, as above stated, are entrusted to them. Nor are
they under any surveillance whatsoever. The buyer and
otter alike put implicit confidence in them. The latter,
when htt boa pitched his corn, leaves it entirely in their
hands, goes about his business or pleasure in the town,
and returns in the Mating to receive the amount of the
sale without making any inquiries or taking any
further trouble about it. The amount of confidence
pissed In the hon9sty of these women, and
0 theinip.oyrtetr-
ance of the charge confided to c:fly may be estimated
from the fact, that 10,000 quintals of 6,`.Fn is by no means
an unusual quantity to change hands in one market-day
at Chartres, the whole of which is invariably discosed of
for ready money paid on the spot.—Trollope's s
In Western France.

ments for the grave, and the companion of the cold

and they are the means and ministrations of man's love

a sense of the beautiful and the good. The very inuti-
lity of flowers is their excellence and great beauty, for
they lead us to thoughts of generosity and moral beauty,
detached from, and superior to all selfishness, so that
they are pretty lessons in nature's book of instruction,
teaching man that he liveth not by bread or from bread
alone, but that be hath another than an animal life.—
Florist's Magazine.
THE WEATHER AND THE CORN-LAWS.—
There has been another week of gloomy, wet, and stormy
weather; and the corn-markets show its consequences by
a continued rise of prices, whilst the-Corn-law rigorously
excludes those foreign supplies which, under circum-
stances, would now be poured into the market. The real
object of that law was, in fact, to extract from the con-
sumers the uttermost farthing that could be obtained
from them ; and it does its work effectually. Already
we see the price of wheat in the -Wakefield Market is
70s. per quarter, and the results of the law tell forcibly
on the condition of those whose earnings have been re-
duced to the lowest point by the present depressed state
of manufacturing industry. What effects will be produced
upon the currency, and through it, upon the general
trade of the country, we shall probably see by and by.—
Manchester Guardian.
On Sunday afternoon a young woman, 19 years
of age, of the name of Latimer, whose friends reside in
Oakley- street, Lambeth, was drowned off Che Lea-reach,
by a boat being upset, in which were four persons, three
of whom were saved, with great difficulty, by some gen-
tlemen who were j. 4 boats upay The body could
not be found.
