THE SUN, LONDON. FRI DAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1 41.

isted between the palace towards the east, and the
church in Kensington towards the west, Was to be
entirely sacrificed to the public. The Right Hon. Gentleman
had stated that the measure was one which would have .
been brought forward by the late. Administration—it
was one of the great measures upon which the
two Administrations concurred in opinion—(hear, and
a ]auh)—a bad beginning.—(Laughter.) He hoped the
lion. G entleman himself would go down to Kensington, and
as he (Mr. W.) remembered a good deal of what the
Right Hon. Gentleman had said of late years with
respect to the working classes, their recreations,
and amusements, he entreated the Right Honourable
Gentleman to visit the ground which it was proposed to
be sacrificed. 'the people in the neighbourhood com-
plained loudly on the subject.—(Hear.) They looked
upon it as a deplorable evil that they should be deprived
of such an open space of ground, at a time when the
Government were spending thousands for the comfort of
the inhabitants of other parts of the metropolis. The
ground in question was excluded, in a great measure,
from public view, but it lay adjacent to a densely peopled
neighbourhood, the inhabitants of which would be
greatly benefited by having the space open. It
was an advantage which they would greatly prize.
He was astonished to find that the late Ad-
ministration, which professed to be so friendly to the
people, should have entertained for a moment
the project of building upon the space alluded to ;
and he would again entreat the Members of the new
Government to visit the spot before they came to a
definitive resolution on the subject. If the Government
said, after proper inquiry, that that space ought to be
filled with houses, he for one would yield to the decision,
although he should do so with very great reluct-
ance. The Right llonourable Gentleman him-
self had commenced their proceedings that night
with a motion relating to the health of Members.
Now, let them think of the health of the poor
as well as of their own.—(Hear, hear.) The Noble
Lord had spoken in the highest terms of Dr.
Reid's administration.—(A laugh.) Now he (Mr.
Wakley) approved of that administration also
in a salutary sense, and he would entreat the
present Government to reconsider the subject under dis-
cussion. He might next be permitted to allude, for
one moment to the statement of the Right Honourable
Baronet, with reference to the Poor-law.—(Hear,
hear.) He thought the time Which the Right
Honourable Baronet asked for considering the subject
was not unreasonable.—(Hear, hear, from the Opposition
benches.) The Right ,Hon. Baronet asked that the Poor-
law should be continued in its present form until the
month of July next year. He (Mr. W.) was bold to
say that the time was• not too long.—(Renewed cries
of " Hear, hear, hear," from the Opposition benches.)
The subject was one of enormous magnitude—it was
one which should be approached with so much judgment
and consideration, that he felt it would not be
unreasonable to allow the existing law to be pro-
longed for six months from the present time.—
(Hear, hear.) He did trust that in the meantime
the most sober judgment would be applied to the
question, for it was one of such importance and
involving so many great interests th at it was
impossible for this House or the other
House of Parliament to obtain the slightest re-
spect or confidence from the public, unless it'
was treated with the consideration it deserved.
He thought the time asked was not too long, for he
had not heard any individual whatever say what he con-
sidered in the present state of things ought to be done
with regard to that law.—(Hear, hear, from the Ministe-
rial benches.) No one could consider that the time asked
by the Right Hon. Baronet was too protracted. He hoped
that the interval would be employed in a calm
consideration of the subject, so as to bring
about such - an arrangement of that most im-
portant question as might be satisfactory to the com-
munity at large.
Sir R. PEEL, said, that with regard to the mo-
tion which his Hon. Friend had brought forward, the
Hon. Gentleman opposite had said the he hoped for some
success in his opposition, because the measure
was not brought forward on the responsibility
of the Hon. Gentleman. Now, he considered that by
bringing forward the question hat Government was as-
suming to itself the responsibility of the measure, because it
was one which they could have abstained from bringing
forward if they had thought proper. Therefore they
were responsible for it ; that responsibility being, of
course, shared by the Members of the Government
who first proposed it. The Noble Lord had confined
his expression of confidence to the administration
of Dr. Reid, and had not seemed wil-
ling to extend his confidence to those who suc-
ceeded him in the Administration of the affairs
of the country. Now he (Sir R. Peel) was disposed to
admit that the Administration of one of the colleagues of
the Noble Lord had been entitled to great con-
fidence. With respect to the exertions which had
been made for the improvements of the parks, guarding
himself against any more extended measure, he was
inclined to consider that Lord Duncannon had great
claims on his confidence. It was impossible to see
the improvements which that Noble Lord had made
without feeling that he was intitled to confidence; and
when he heard that the present measure had
received his approbation, it came with an ad-
ditional recommendation from such an authority. There
could be no question as to the propriety of consolidating
the six kitchen gardens ; it was desirable as a measure
of economy.—.(Hear.) It was proposed to defray
the expense of this consolidation by letting certain
lands belonging to the Crown on building leases.
To this ground the public had not at present any access.
It was not subject to the control of the department of
woods and forests. It was in the private occupa-
ti'n of the Crown and did not stand upon
the same footing as ground to which
the public never had had access, and it was proposed to
apply the proceeds arising from the leasing of this
ground for building purposes, to defray the expenses of the
proposed consolidation. This was the whole arrangement.
He trusted that that explanation would be deemed suffi-
cient, and that the consent of Parliament would be given
to a measure which had met with the approbation of two
successive Governments.

Mr. EWART said he understood, from persons well
acquainted with the neighbourhood, that a very general
desire was felt that the gardens should be devoted to
public purposes. Consolidation was exceedingly desir-
able, but it was still more so to consult the public interest.
He would take that opportunity of calling the attention of
the House to two other parks, viz. Kew and Richmond.
Kew Park was only open to the public on cer-
tain clays ; and Richmond Park was open to pe-
destrians, and persons riding in their carriages,
only as a matter of favour. He trusted that measures
would be adopted for opening both Parks. There
was one other subject to which he would
allude, because it was connected with the recrea-
tion of the public. In the well-known basin
at Bushy Park there was a statue of Diana,
and a fountain had formerly played. He was sorry to
say that that fountain had long ceased to flow,
and he thought it would add to the appearance
of the place, as well as to the enjoyment of the public,
if it were revived. He hoped' the Right Hon. Baronet
would give his attention to these matters.

Sir T. FREMANTLE said he would give his attention
to the subject referred to by the Hon. Member. The
resolution was then agreed to, the House went into
Committee, and the report was ordered to be brought
up to-morrow.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL requested the Chancellor of
the Exchequer to state on what day he proposed to go
into Committee of Ways and Means.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
would answer the question to-morrow.
The Foreign Bishops' Bill was read a second time.
Sir T. FREMANTLE brought in the Royal Domain
Bill, which was read a first time, and ordered to be read
a second time on Monday.
The House then adjourned.

SINGULAR OCCURRENCE AT CHISWICK.-
Since Saturday last the family and establishment of a
lady named Churton, residing at Sutton Court House,
Sutton-lane, Chiswick, leading to the banks of the
Thames at Stroud-on-the-Green, have been in a conti-
nued state of alarm and excitement by the windows of
the mansion being continually broken, apparently by
some supernatural agent, every method adopted for de-
tecting the party guilty of the outrage failing in its ob-
ject. The mansion in question is a detached one, with
extensive grounds around it, the whole of which are en-
circled with high walls, so that the roof alone is visible
from the outside. On the opposite side of the lane is
also another high wall, which surrounds the domain of
the Duke ref Devonshire, so that no other building over-
looks the premises. The windows first commenced
breaking on Saturday last, and in consequence of the
continuance of the outrage application was made to the
police. Since then two constables of the T division have
been placed on duty in the house and premises night and
day ; and with the assistance of the gardner, coachman,
butler, and other male servants, a continued watch has
been kept up, but without preventing the outrage or ob-
taining any clue as to the perpetrators thereof. From
half-past twelve to one o'clock on Wednesday morning
several were broken, and from the fact of their being
broken at the front as well as the back of the house, the
matter has become more mysterious.

A notice has been put up at the Horse Guards
and both Houses of Parliament, issued by the Lords,
complaining of the nuisance their Lordships are subject
to from the noise caused by vehicles, when they are as-
sembled to debate on the affairs of Church and State.
The House taking notice that there is such an interrup-
tion by hackney-coaches, cabs, carts, drays, &c., in the
streets and passages leading to this House, that the Lords
and others are frequently hindered from coining thereto,
" It is therefore ordered by the Lords Spiritual and Tem-
poral in Parliament assembled, that the Commissioners
of Police do give orders that no hackney coaches, carts,
&c., he allowed to pass near the Houses of Parliament,
when assembled, and that the Police do take into cus-
tody, and bring them before the Usher of the Black
Rod, all persons who may be making a noise or disturb-
ance in the environs of this House, or Westminster Hall,
to be punished accordingly; and that all the streets
leading to this House be kept cleared of vehicles, &c."
ATTEMPTED SELF-DESTRUCTION.—A des-
perate attempt at self-destruction was made yesterday
afternoon by Mrs. James, wife of Mr. James, the thea-
trical hair-dresser of Russell court, Drury-line. Prom
what could be learned during the confusion it would ap-
pear that husband and wife had had a few words, when
she deliberately walked into the front shop, and taking
up one of her husband's razors, made a gash in her throat
almost extending from ear to ear. A surgeon was sent
for, who immediately set about sewing up the wound,
but little hopes are entertained of her recovery.
Yesterday evening, between six and eight
o'clock, the shop window of Messrs. G. and W. Yonge,
No. 156, Strand, was cut, and sixteen new watches taken
from it ; two of them were gold, twelve silver, and two
very valuable enamelled repeaters, set with fine pearls,
portraits on one side, and moving figures on the other.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

FROM THE DAILY PAYERS OF YESTERDAY.
GLOBE.—.As far as concerns the veteran leaders of
Toryism it is quite right that Mr. Goulburn should be
the genius of Tory finance. It is no less proper that the
Duke of Buckingham should adorn a Landlords Alarm-
Cabinet. Sir Edward Knatchbull is a highly appropriate
watch-dog to keep guard on their movements. But
what business have Lord Stanley and Sir J. Graham
with class-alarmists ? What business have they to come
out as bitter satirists of commercial Liberalism? Is it cre-
dible that fluskisson, had he survived, could have spoken
their language ? These men stand in a lowered and a
false position. There is language of theirs on record,
which proves that they know better than the Knatchbull
and Chandos crew. As fin- Sir Hobert Peel, he is not
degraded by pandering to any prejudice ; because that
knack is a main foundation of his fortune in politics. He
is the right leader for the sinking party of respectable
prejudices in the present age. He works them with the
best effect, and surrenders them with the best grace
possible. He fights them up until they are plainly un-
tenable any longer, and then he gives them up, and
claims credit for himself and his followers in their
abandonment ! This brings us to a brief estimate of the
differe.nee between the two great parties, with reference
to the operation of that difference on their -pining or
losing power. The Whigs gain power at all those
erocl; when new lights are required for Government.
They lose power whenever habitual prejudices muster
too strong for new lights. We do not mean, by saying
this, to pronounce dogmatically- on the question of right
or wrong between Whig and Tory opinions in all cases.
Prejudice may sometimes be right, and reasoning may
sometimes be wrong ; but so it is, that when prejudice
has the upper hand, Tories bear sway. When reasoning
surmounts prejudice, 'Whigs take the place of Tories.
The latter are mainly the representatives of unexamined,
accustomed opinions. The former are the correctors of
those opinions, when they require correction; and the in-
novators on old regulations, when the public interest re-
quires new ones. It follows that, whenever thepublic mind
has not matured itself on such measures of change as the
Whig or Liberal party have selected for adoption, and
whenever a powerful phalanx of class interests, in ad-
dition to the prejudices which oppose anything new,
are brought against them, the Tories, have been beau jeu.
It was so with Catholic Emancipation, which kept
the Whigs many years from power, and enabled the
Tories to " stand by our good old King," and fatten
on bigotry not their own—not that, at least, of their
more able leaders. It is so with Commercial Emanc
pation ; only, instead of standing by our good old King,
the Tories have stood against our good young Queen.
No matter ; they have had the sable regiment, as before,
and the Landwehr. The whirligig of time, however, is
sure to bring about its revenges. If churchmen and
landlords are talking nonsense, and opposing fancied in-.
terests to real ones, then the church-and-land majority
will melt beneath public opinion. Opinion is, in the
long run, the dispenser of power, and opinion cannot for
ever be smothered by unreasoning prejudices.
STANDARD.—The re-assembling of Parliament
revives curiosity as to the course which will be pursued
by the Administration of Sir Robert Peel, in reference
to the "deficit" prepared for them by their predecessors
in office. It is an attestation of the public confidence,
however, that this curiosity .is not very active:
The people seem to feel on one side, that the resources
of the country are ample, and on the other that the
Ministers now directing public affairs will apply those
resources in a manner that shall be at once most
economical and beneficial, and least oppressive.
We hear a good many loose surmises as to particular
objects of taxation, and as to other modes of meeting
the emergency—hut no one affects to speak with cer-
tainty; still less is it pretended by any one that revenue
must be sought in this or that particular quarter, because
it is unattainable in any other—proof of the universal
sil :ency, if we may so speak, of all classes of the people.
Whatever line Sir Robert Peel shall take it must
be acknowledged that he has kept his secret with ad-
mirable, and indeed with unexampled, inviolability ;
and this is no small merit in a Finance Minister. The
whole tribe of speculators are left completely at fault.
All we can know at present is. that the Slave-Trade Abo •
lition Bill will not be practically repealed, as the late Mi-
nisters would have it, for the sake of revenue—that the
agricelture of the country is not to be exposed to ruin, by
imposing a permanent and inexoralle tax upon the food of
the people—that the cc/an/al and shipping interests aro
not to be frittered away to round off a Budget. This
knowledge we have ; but this is knowledge still of a
negative character—it will nothing help the gam-
bling speculation. We may amuse ourselves with con-
jectures, and most of us do so ; but, at present we can
hardly guess, and our guesses are suggested solely by
what seems reasonable. A favourite anticipation is,
that the postage stamp will be raised from one penny
to towpence, threepence, or even
.fourpcnee. Questionless.
such an increase would be unobjectionable. We, for
ourselves, have been throughout earnest promoters of
a " cheap and uniform postage," the condition of
which description would be completely fulfilled
by a fourpenny stamp ; and from the first we
protested against the penny stamp as unnecessarily
low. During the short period while the stamp duty
was at fourpence, the rate of increase in correspondence
was, we believe, greater than it has been at any time
since. There is, therefore, no reason to believe that the
amount of correspondence would retrograde were the
stamp raised to fourpence ; but a fourfill increase in the
gross receipts of the Post-dfice would alone, if we are not
mistaken, make it unnecessary to look further for revenue.
Again, it ought to excite, we think, no surprise if Sir
Robert Peel should content himself with an ar-
rangement to provide temporarily —fur the • deficit,
and pause to observe whether the existing sources of
revenue may not prove adequate to its extinction.
COURlER.—Parliament re-assembles this evening,
and then, for the first time, will Sir Robert Peel have a
fair and legitimate opportunity of announcing the course
he has determined upon adopting with regard to public
business ; but, whether or not, the expected announce-
ment will put an end to the desperate suspense under which
the organs of the late Ministry affect to labour, or satisfy
their longings for detailed information as to the nature of
the measures with which he proposes to repair the finan-
cial blunderings of his predecessors, and as to the precise
character of the treatment he means to apply to the dis-
tempers in the body politic, aggravated if not engen-
dered by their system of ignorant but pretending charla-
tanism—remains to be seen. For our parts we entertain
a tolerably confident opinion, be his explicitness, be his
unreservedness in imparting information as to the inten-
tions of his Cabinet, or the definitive course of policy he
purposes to pursue, what it may, that he cannot appease
the craving of their appetite. Indeed we believe, were
he to take them into his counsels and his confidence, and
lay bare the inmost recesses of hiS soul, that they
would still complain of being kept in tlfb dark with
regard to his future plans and proceedings. It is their
cue to be dissatisfied—

REGISTRATION OF VOTERS
(YESTERDAY.)

CITY OF LONDON.

On Wednesdayseveral caseslhaving been brotez,lit before
the Revising Barrister, involving points on which he re-
ferred judgment until yesterday at ten o'clock, upon
coming into Court,
The Learned Gentleman said—ln many of the cases
which came before me yesterday I reserved the considera-
tion of the question as to whether the notices of objection
had been sufficiently served so as to authorise me to call
upOn the persons objected to prove their qualifications,
and in default thereof to strike out their names. These
cases were of three kinds. In the first, and by far
the most numerous of the cases, the • notice was
served at the house described in the list as the place of
abode of the voter, or at a house in the street, or such

place described in the list as his place of residence, in
each case the. person leaving the notice being informed
that the voter at some 'former time had lived there but

had since removed. In the,secOnd class attempts to serve
the notices had failed in consequence of the party failing
to discover the place of abode described in the list,
although every means had been tried to effect it.
A third case came before me in which it was proved
that the voter had formerly lived at the place de-
scribed in the list, but the house in which he so
resided had before the 31st of July last been taken down
for the purpose of improving a railway station. I will
here observe that the Legislature has shown great jea•
lousy of the Revising Barristers, and has very strictly
defined their powers, and declared that they shall
retain on the lists the names of all persons
except . in the cases mentioned particularly.
By the 50th section the Revising Barrister shall retain
on the lists of voters for such cities or boroughs the
panics of all persons to whom no objection shall be made
in the manner before-mentioned. The manner in which
the objections are to be made to persons inserted in the
livery lists, is stated in section 48. Now it is not pre-
tended that in any of these cases the notice of objection
has been left at the voters' usual place of abode, but it
has been contended that the names of those persons ought
to be expunged, or, if not, that the voters ought to be
held to have been sufficiently served for the 'purpose of
requiring the persons objected to, to attend and prove
their qualifications. Although I cannot accede to the
former proposition, I think service at the house described
in the list ought to be considered good ; but on an atten-
tive comparison of the different provisions of the Act
which relates to the subject, I am satisfied that the
wording of the 4th section will permit that con-
struction.
In all cases of objection to borough voters,
the notice should be given to those by whom the lists are
made out. In the case of county voters the person '
objecting is required by the 39th section to give
to the person objected to, or to leave at his
usual residence, as described in the list, or to deli-
ver in person to the tenant occupying the premises.
a notice to that effect. Now the county lists are made
out from the written claims of the persons entitled to
vote, and in every claim they are required to state their
abode. In these cases it would be reasonable to
hold that the claimant should be bound by his own
statement, even it it had not been declared by the
Act that service at the place of abode as de-
scribed in the lists would be good. But in the case
of the liverymen of London the description of
the place of abode does not come from the voter,
but from the clerk or secretary of the Guild, and there
is nothing in the Act to require the voter to give notice
to such clerk or secretary of tusy change of resi-
dence nor is notice of a claim required, un-
less the name of the voter , has been omitted.
There cannot be, then, the same reason to hold him
bound by the description of the place of abode, as was the
case with the country voter ; but if there were, the dif-
ference in the wording of the two clauses is so decided,
that I feel I could not disregard it. I must
hold that this difference was intended by the Legisla-
ture ; yet, in case of an objection being made to a
liveryman, the person objecting must prove that
the notice was either given to the person ob-
jected to, or left at his usual place of -.abode.
I am aware that by this construction of the 48th section
the power to object to liverymen is rendered to a great
extent inefficient, as the Act affords no means of ascertain•
ing the voter's residence, and it is therefore with great
reluctance that I have arrived at this conclusion. I have
tried in vain to avoid the inconvenience arising from it.
The intepretation of the 48th section is palpable. The
powers of Revising Barristers are clearly defined, and if
the Act be defective, the Legislature alone has the power
to amend it. It had been argued, that when it was proved
the party did not live at the place named in the list, I
ought to consider the place of abode as wholly omitted
from the list. However, Ido not consider myself justi-
fied in acting upon ex parte evidence in such a case.
Mr. Quin said that with respect to the first point he
considered the general practice of the Court had been de-
parted from. He understood the Court to have taken a
different decision yesterday. •
The Revising Barrister said he had reserved all the
cases generally.
Mr. Quin said he hoped the Court would not mis-
understand him, but he felt it his duty to trouble it with
a few observations, although they might, perhaps, be
useless. _ _ .

Mr. Trot said, upon the next case coming forward, it
would be open to any further objections which Mr.
Quin might choose to urge.
Mr. Quin said as the Court came to its conclusion he
had too much respect for it to urge it further.
The Revising Barrister said he was quite willing to
hear any further arguments which Mr. Quin might have
to advance, and give judgment accordingly ; but he un-
derstood them to have been concluded. The service of
notice of objection should be proved.
Mr. Quin—But we have no place to go to to serve
the parties. The Reform Act was called by many
a mass of absurdity, but here the clause was clear and
easily understood. The 48th section regnires the no:ice
to be served at the usual place of abode, but the diffi-
culty was,. what was the place of abode. hlow was the
Court to know it ? Suppose a man had no fixed resi-
dence—suppose he was removing from place to
place—what is the legal mode of service if the
place described in the list be - not so ?
Suppose a man was to go to Otaheite was he to be fol-
lowed there? The Court had remarked that these
claims were not made out by the livery. He contended
that they were, in the same way as they were made
out by the county voters. The liverymen had
many advantages which were not possessed by
the county voters. Their names were placarded for
fourteen days in the two most public parts
of the City, the Guildhall and the Royal Exchange.
It had been said that the Reform party were, generally
speaking, adverse to the liverymen ; but in this
act they gained great advantages ; and yet he
was now to be told that a new construction was

to be put upon the words " usual place of abode."
The Act requires that the official of the Guild
shall make out a list, and this person had no means of
doing so but from the addresses put in by the livery-
men themselves. He (Mr. Quin) would suggest
the immense difference between this Court and a
Court of Review. The Learned Barrister was here
as a Court of Revision, and to come to the root
of the word " revise" perhaps it would be found most
distinctly defined in its application to pointing where
the revision was only to correct the typography, without
trenching upon the spirit or meaning of the manuscript.
If A, B. is described as living at 14, Throgmorton-
street, and that he is found to be gone to
Calcutta, is that a reason for the Court to
turn round and say he has not been served with a
notice of objection ? Why, the very fact which dis-
entitles him to vote is the very means by which his name
is retained. He believed that he should be able to show

that persons whose names were still on the list had
been dead upwards of seventeen years. The Registry
would become one mass of . confusion, and with

all respect to the Court, be should say any further exer-
tions on his part would be utterly hopeless ; and he
Should sit down, saying he had no further objection to
snake to /any one:of the livery.—(Several of the Con-
servative party here cried out " Hear," and manifested
other marks of approbation.) The Reform Bill was
burden sufficie..t on their shoulders without adding to it

imaginary faults, and he believed that the Court, on
looking at this matter again, would retnrn to the deci-
sion which he (Mr. Quin) understood it to have pro-
nounced yesterday.
The Revising Barrister—l have acted according
to the best intentions, and construed this act the same
as any other one. I consider that I have no power to

expui4e a name from the list, unless notice of objection
has been served upon him personally, or left at his usual
place of abode, I therefore consider that the names under
revision are entitled to remain on the list.

J. Brockwell, a liveryman of the Barbers' Company,
described as living at Great Carter-lane, Doctors' Com-
mons, was objected to by Mr. Quin, as he resided at
present in Patten-place, West Ham, Essex.
The claimant, being examined, said that he still re-
tain a portion of the house in Great Carter-lane, and
paid the taxes for all the premises.
Mr. Quin said the 32d clause of the Act required the
voter to live six calendar months within such borough, or
seven miles thereof ; and under those circumstances, as
West Ham was above seven miles from London, he con-
tended that Mr. Blackwell's name should be expunged.
The Revising Barrister said his residing in kVestliam
was unimportant, as he might have two residences. It
did not follow, because he resided in West Ham, that he
had not another residence in Great Carter-lane.
Mr. Quin applied to have the name of Peter Harris
Abbott struck off the list. The subject of the applica-
tion had been, as was pretty well known, one of the
official assignees in the Court of Bankruptcy, and it
was needless for him (Mr. Q.) to explain circumstances
connected with this individual, which were already so
publicly known. It was impossible to find out where lie
was now, so as to enable him to be served with a notice
' of objection.
Abbott not having been served with the usual notice of
objection in accordance with the judgment of the Court
delivered in the morning, the name was retained on the
list.

FATALACCIDENTON THE RIVER.—On Wed •
ncsday afternoon, as a merchant-vessel was coming up
the Thames, she suddenly struck on a sunken shoal,
which caused such a concussion that the master, who was
at the helm, was struck suddenly by the tiller, which
laid him senseless on the deck. It was found that his
jaw-bone was broken, and also several of his ribs. No
time was lost by the mate and the crew in getting him
into the boat, when they conveyed him on board the
Dreadnought hospital-ship, where every assistance was
afforded him by the surgeon, but he expired an hou
afterwards.

THREE YEARS OLD STEER.--A fine three
years old steer, of the short horn breed, the property of
James Bell, Esq., of Ravensworth, was weighed on the
machine at Richmond, last week, which weighed 144
stone 7 lb. He was bred by Mr. 8011, and never had any
oil cake or any extra feed.— York Courant,
