Thirteen individuals (students and workman) we;re
brought before the Court of Correctional Police of Par's.
on Wednesday, under a charge of manufacturing and
having in their possession gunpowder and infernal lo:
chines, similar to that which exploded in the Rue 131°nt
pensier on the 28th of November last. Three others, jai'
plicated in the same affair, had absconded.
SINGULAR AUCTION.—The vestry of Marr
lebone, in the spirit of economy which is said to characterise
the age, have sold by public auction, and for the enormous 033
of ten pounds, the transparent picture" of the Annunciation,
painted by the late Benjamin West, for which a former vestry
paid the sum of SW/. There was but one bidder—a Mr. .I°,
Wilson, to whom it was "knocked down •" but within a fee
minutes after he was offered for it, and refused, ten times thef
amount. It formerly occupied a large space in the centre ‘,)t
the organ of Marylebone New Church; but in the year /82,6 1,
was removed, and has since, for fourteen years, been lYi'vj '
to
lumber-room at the Marylebone Court-hnuse, until directed
be sold. The ten pounds thus supplied ti the parish exchequer
may be a matter of vital moment to the wealthiest district:,
the metropolis ; if it be not so the business is disgraceful to
the parties concerned in it. 'lf the vestrymen were unable it;
appreciate this work of art, and would have attached great%
value to as large a piece of canvass to convert into cheese b,lr
or coal-sacks, they might have been told that there were °"1 •
vestries who would give it room in some sacred edifice. It::
to be lamented that no public-spirited individual was by
der
in
rescue it from the clutches of these
parish Vandals, t
or -
to have it placed where it might be
seen and valued.--a-

Mr. ex-Sheriff Parkins was a native and freem.,d
ofithis city, and in early life went out to India, where he auras he
a very large fortune. Soon after his return to this cowl* for
visited his native place, and offered himself as a candidate de.
its representation at the general election of 1818, but was es-
pointed feated by a very large majority. While in this city he yr," es-
pointed one of the Sheriffs of London—.we believe in t"g;,ter
pectation that he would pay the fine rather than serve. AL a
of the late Mr. Parkins lives in this neighbourhood, and "1,1-seo
large family; and a number of nephews and nieces, the eh"-r•ft
of his brother Daniel, who died a few years ago, are residenthii,
Manchester. The New York Herald says that he has lel: to
property to his nephews and nieces ; and that it amounts in
300,000 francs (12,0001.) in the French funds, and 20,vw
lie hands of Stone and Sons, London.— Carlisle Journal.
