CAUTION TO SMOKERS.—On Wednesday last, a
serious accident arising from the very reprehensible
practice of smoking in sheds and barns, occurred near
Rugby. It appears that three young gentlemen, while
walking through a field belonging to Mr. R. Clarke,
farmer and maltster, adjoining the Bilton-road, went
into a shed to enjoy a cigar, when a spark set fire to
some loose straw, which rapidly communicated with the
shed, and the whole was soon in flames. Upon the alarm
being given, Inspector Stanley, with his usual prompti-
tude, dispatched one of his men to Mr. John Bromwich,
superintendent of the fire establishment, who in a short
time was at the scene of conflagration, and by the timely
assistance thus rendered, a cow-house, together with
some hay, straw, and stubble ricks, were saved, but the
shed was burnt down, and a waggon, a new plough, a
harrow, and other agricultural implements, were de-
stroyed. A calf, a sow, and a litter of young pigs, were
in the shed at the time, but the pigs were smothe. ed be-
fore thee could be got out ; the calf and sow were
saved.—Leamington Courier.
SERIOUS ILLNESS OF TILE BISHOP OF WINCHESTER.
—The Bishop of Winchester is seriously indisposed ;
and in conequence of this untoward event the Bishop of
Oxford was prevented from preaching on Sunday morn-
ing, according to advertisement, at Trinity Church,
Cloudesley-squaro, Islington, he having been summoned
to the bedside of his Right Reverend *other Prelate.

used to come in as bold as a lord and drink off his glass
by his father's side, at the head of the table—on the
pony at Brighton, when he cleared the hedge and kept
up with the huntsman—on the day when he was pre-
sented to the Prince Regent at the levee, when all St.
James's couldn't produce a finer young fellow. And
this, this was the end of all !—to marry a bankrupt and
fly in the face of duty and fortune! What humiliation
and • fury: what pangs of sickening rage, balked am-
bition and love ; what wounds of outraged vanity, ten-
derness even, had this old worldling now to suffer under!
" Having examined these papers, and pondered over
this one and the other, in that bitterest of all helpless
woe, with which miserable men think of happy past
times—George's father-took the whole of the documents
out of the drawer in which he had kept them so long, and
looked them into a writing-box, which he tied and seated
with his seal. Then he opened the book-case, and took
down the great red Bible we have spoken of—a pompous
book, seldom looked at, and shining all over with gold.
There was a frontispiece to the volume, representing
Abraham sacrificing Isaac. here, according to custom,
Osborne had recorded on the fly-leaf, and in his large
clerk-like hand, the dates of his marriage and his wife's
death, and the births and Christian names of his chil-
dren. Jane came first, then George Set:ley Osborne,
then Maria Frances, and the days of the christening of
each. Taking a pen, he carefully obliterated George's
names from the page; and when the leaf was quite dry,
restored the volume to the place from which he had
moved it. Then he took a document out of another
drawer, where his own private papers were kept, and
having read it, crumpled it up and lighted it at one of
the candles, and saw it burn away entirely in the grate.
It was his will ; which being burned, he site down and
wrote off a letter, and rang for his servant, whom he
charged to deliver it in the morning. It was morning
already: as he went up to bed, the whole house was
alight with the sunshine ; and the birds were singing
among the fresh green leaves in Russell-i-quare."
He then directs his solicitor to George, informing
him that 2,0001., which is his share of his mother':
fortune shall be paid to his order, but
that henceforth George is to cease to con.
sider himself a member of the Osborne family.
Rebecca manages to bring about (in the absence of
Mrs. Bute) a quasi reconciliation between Rawdon
and his aunt; and at the conclusion of this number
we leave Rawdon, Georg,, and Dobbin en route for
Belgium, to join the army which afterwards fought
at Waterloo.

FINE AR CS.

JOY'S PORTRAIT OF REAR- ADMIRAL Slb

CIiARLES NAPIER, K.G.B. ,&c.,

We were on Saturday admitted to the private view of
Mr. T. M. Joy's recently painted portrait of Admiral
Sir Charles Napier, at Mr. Meeson's Hanover Galleries,
33, George—greet, Hanover-square. It is a full
and the gallant hero is represented in full uniform, in
the act of mounting the breach at the siege of Acre,
cheering and leading on his men, and animating them
by his example. As a portrait it is unmistakeably like.
It is the very hero of Acre himself, features, figure, atti-
tude, expression—it is the very man as he is.
As a work of art it is very fine. The
artist has managed his lights and shades beautifully, so
as to bring out the figure strongly, and it is paint, d in
that broad style that is exactly suited for a public gal-
lery. The picture is intended for the Hall of Greenwich
Hospital, and when placed there it will constitute one of
the principal objects of attraction in that celebrated naval
portrait gallery. Her Majesty, to whom it has been
submitted, has expressed herself much pleased with it,
both as a porirait and a work of art. Air. Meeson is
about, we understand, to publish an engraving of this
portrait, from the burin of Mr. Carlos. It is one of
those pictures that is exactly suited for " black and
white,' and we have no doubt but that. the engraving of
the portrait of the " gallant old Commodore" will
th
bee
sought after by persons of every degree throughout
United Kingdom, from the peer to the peasant.

As the dissolution of the present Parliament will
shortly take place, we have much pleasure in announcing,
on the highest authority, that T. J. Agar Robartes, Esq.,
will offer himself as a can lidate for the eastern division
of this county. Mr. Rlshley, it is understood, re-
tires, so that no contest is expected. Sir Charles Le-
mon and Mr. Pendarves, as we intimated some time
ago, will be again returned for the western division
without opposition ; and the boroughs of Lis-
' keard, Launceston, Truro, and Helston, are
likely, from appearances, to re-elect their present repre-
sentatives. Lord W. Puwlett again solicits the suffrages
of the electors of St. Ives, and is oppose.i by a Mr. R
bertson, who appears to be an ultra-Tory. The united
borough of Falmouth and Penryti, and the borough of
Bodmin, are likely to be contelted ; and another candi-
date, besides those alrcar'y in th- field, is expi cted to
make his appeArance at the latter place tVest Briton.
