LAMBETH.

Alfred Marsh, who has been in custody for some
weeks on a charge of wilfully and maliciously setting
fire to the house of Mr. Bailey, a commercial tra-
veller, in Swan-place, Swan-street, Old Kent-road,
was placed at the bar before Mr. Elliott for final
examination.

In reply to a question from the Magistrate, In-
spector Valentine and police-constable Richard
Davis said they had no further evidence to offer
against the prisoner.
Mr. Games, who attended on behalf of the prisoner,
informed his worship that the coroner's jury em-
pannelled to ascertain the cause of the fire had, after
two or three adjournments, and a full and careful in
quiry into the circumstances, returned a verdict that
the house had been set fire to by some person or
persons unknown.
Mr. ELLIOTT remarked, thst there could be no
doubt there were circumstances of a very suspicious
character connected with the conduct of the prisoner,
but they were not sufficient to send him for trial on
so serious a charge.
Mr. Bailey complained that, though held to bail
on a former occasion, the ',prisoner had used threats
to his step-daughter, and he had now to claim the
protection of the Court from his future annoyance.
Mr. ELLIOTT replied that if his daughter had any
complaint to make she was at liberty to do so.
Miss Rolfe, the young woman alluded to, was here
asked if she wished to make any charge against the
prisoner ? She seemed somewhat reluctant, but
ultimately ascended the witness-box ; and Mr. Games
at once requested that her mother and step-father
should leave the Court.

Upon being sworn, Miss Rolfe said the prisoner
had been brought to this Court six months ao for
firing a loaded pistol at her, and he was then held
to bail to keep the peace towards her and her
parents. Since then he had been rather importunate,
but he had not made use of any threats nor did she
apprehend any danger from him.
Mr. ELLIOTT said there was not sufficient evidence to
call on the prisoner to enter into fresh recognizances,
but he should advise him to be careful as to his
future conduct, for if further complaints were made
he could not expect much leniency.
The prisoner was then discharged, and was re-
ceived by a number of friends, who were present to
hear the case.

T F: SUN, LON DON,

the woodland frontiers of Canada, where they assume
v,,ry ri'.,lllvent 1-10.)it:r aril! Tiv,rak. Not but

that i gear proportion of the inhabitants, near and on
f.acn ,dde Ui :he houlith.eies of Statos, and
British possessioi.s, consist of honest, industrious, and
praiseworthy families; but there is in the general cha-
racter of borderers, in all countries, less morality, less
honesty, greater recklessness, and more cunning and
' plotting, than exist among the other population.
" This is remarkably the case in respect to the bor-
derers, on each side the line, dividing British from re-
publican America. The immoral and dishonest of all
gracks, and the most 'unprincipled schemers of the
former, escape or resort to the latter, and those of the
latter to the former. Smuggling is one great nursery of
dishonesty and scheming. Failures in trade, cr in
timber or land speculations, and then cheating creditors,
is another. The swindlers and political demagogues of
Canada, evade the laws by passing orer to the American
side of the line, and cry out, Here we have liberty—in
Canada you are in bondage! have an independent go-
vernment!—shake off British tyranny!—govern your-
selves!'

‘ ‘ These men, who call themselves PATRIOTS, have
agitated Canada, generally, from vanity, from reckless.
ness, and for evil purposes. The American border de-
magogues echo and re-echo their catchwords—this is
called sympathy on the part of the American people. It
is no such thing. It is mere speculation on the part of
a few hundreds of, the most unprincipled and desperate
characters on earth, who look forward, in the event of a
successful rebellion, to the vacant lands and trade of
Canada, as a field for adventure and plunder.
" Many of the Upper Canadians are disloyal and
worthless men; made up, first, of men whose villany was
too notorious to allow them shelter in the United States;
second, of runaway debtors, and cheats of various shades,
from the United Kingdom, and from the other British
possessions; and, third, of disorderly persons, born and
brought up in the province, who have, generally, passed
their time as lumberers, raftsmen, and boatmen—in
drinking, or in scheming to live without working; and
the fourth, that is, the mere political demagogues. These
classes, the so-styled PATRIOTS of Upper Canada, with
whom sympathised, during the late rebellion, not the
United States citizens who form the many, but the un-
principled and reckless among the borders, who consti-
tute the few."

The ease with which the Navy islanders were ex-
pelled by the British militia forces proves Mr. Mac-
gregor is right in his estimation, and that the sympa-
thisers and the rebels constituted really but a very
small minority (and that a most worthless one) of the
inhabitants of even the border territories.

Our extracts have already extended to such a
length, that we must defer the further consideration
of these most valuable volumes to some other, and
we hope not far distant, opportunity.

WANDSWORTH.

William Whilby,abriejilaier,living at Putney
Lower Common, was charged with shooting and
stealing a duck, the property of the Right lion. Sir
Launcelot Shadwell, Knight, Vice-Chancellor of
England.
Police-constable Line stated that on Sunday morn-
ing, about half-past eleven o'clock, he was in Rock's-
lane, Barnes, when he saw the prisoner discharge a
gun in the grounds of the Vice-Chancellor. He then
ran away a little distance, but in a minute or two re-
turned, and was in the act of putting something into
his pocket, when he saw witness, and ran away a
second time. There were some ducks at this spot,
which appeared frightened, and a pocket of the pri-
soner's shooting-coat was bulky, as if it contained
one. He continued to chase the prisoner for about
two miles, who in the course of his flight dropped the
duck. Witness ultimately lost sight of the prisoner
altof,ether, but took him the same evening, at his
sister's house, when he found the coat the prisoner
had been wearing, one of the pockets of which had
been recently stained with blood.
The prisoner was fully committed for trial at the
Central Criminal Court.

EtOWL AN D' S ALSANA EXTRACT.
For the the Toothache and Gum Boils, and for eradicating
all disorders of the Teeth and Gums. In the anguish of excrutiating
pain it affords instantaneous relief, while its frequent use will be
found to strengthen the gums, and fortify the Teeth against future
attacks. It totally exterminates scurvy, restores the Gums to the
fullness of health, and by endowing them with additional firmness of
adhesion, it firmly fixes and roots the Teeth in their sockets. It era-
kicates unpleasant taste and injurious seoretion from the month, and
repels the approach of Incipient decay. It is perfectly innocent, and
is also an excellent stomachic in cases of flatulency and depression of
spirits. This invaluable specific has been held in high estimation fir
many years, and is under the sanction of the first physicians. Price
25. 9d., 4s. Gd., and 10s. 6d. per bottle.

LONDON, TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 23, 1847.

After the Speech from the Throne has been de-
livered Parliament will have to bestir itself imme-
diately to comply in some measure with its more
important recommendations. Of these recommenda-
tions none are assuredly more entitled to the atten-
tion of the Legislature than those made in reference
to the monetary distresses of the United Kingdom,
and to the deplorable state of want and insubordi-
nation in which the Irish peasantry are still involved.
Temporary measures of alleviation cannot by pos-
sibility dissipate either of these enormous evils. The
agrarian assassins of the sister country will not,
for example, be deprived of the temptation to shoot
or bludgeon any obnoxious proprietor by the an-
nouncement of a coercive enactment. Confidence,
again, will not be restored to the money market by
mere half-and-half concession from the Chancellor
ef the Exchequer. Sir lIARL ES WOOD cannot
vihisper
away
soCconveniently the anxieties of our
capitalists. sir
WILLIAM SOMERVILLE cannot by a
few intermittent threats and obstructions prevent the
recurrence oferi:
baneoder the continuance of privation
in Ireland. Red-handed murder must still wield its
devilish sceptre over bed rn
fruitful pastures of Tippe-
rary, unless the Executive
grapple boldly, in-
stantaneously, and determinedly with the difficulties
n each other the
which have so long marshalled
against
landlord and tenant interests. i
cripple the enterprize of our manufactaunriee must still
rs,unless the
blunders of the present system of currency be effec-
tually rectified.
So engrossing are the two matters of legislation to
which we have referred, that we cannot just now rea-
sonably anticipate:anything cf a decisive character from
the Government in relation to sanitary and educational
improvements. We cannot at least anticipate any_
thing of the kind before the adjournment
for the vacation of Christmas. The mortality
of the empire must continue to increase,
and that not only proportionately with the increase
of the population. Ignorance must still remain pre-
dominant over the intellect of the children of the
labouring classes, excepting in those instances where
private munificence has erected a haven of refuge for
the offspring of the impoverished in the shape of

RAILWAY REGISTER.

The very valuable series of papers by Mr. Hyde
Clarke, on the subject of Indian railways, is continued
in this number. As in several parts of India railways
will come into competition with boat traffic, it is ne-
cessary to be acquainted with the rates of charge per
boat, in order to calculate the probability of the suc-
cess of a railway. To this subject Mr. Clarke devotes
the present paper, which is a complete collection of
the statistics of boat traffic in India. There are
several otlier articles of great interest to the engineer-
ing and the railway world, and in the Portfolio Mr.
Clarke continues his republication of the original
prospectuses of the various railway schemes.

THE MUSICAL HERALD. Part IX.

We are glad to perceive that Mr. Hogarth is re-
viving some of those classical pianoforte compositions
which were the delight of our younger days, but
which are now never heard by any chance. He has
done the cause of music good service by re-publish.
ing in this part the fantasia on the Russian air by
the Abbe Gelinek, who, as he justly observes, was
one of the most agreeable and popular pianoforte
composers of his day. We hope Mr. Hogarth will
enrich the pages of the Musical. Herald with some
more of Gelinek's pleasing compositions. Classi-
cality, however, is not confined to the compositions
of by-gone musicians. What, for instance, can be
more classical, more harmonious, more graceful, than
Mr. Hogarth's own trio, " Love is just like April
weather," which we find in the present number.
We have, too, a very beautiful Tempo di
Itfinuetto, by G. F. Graham, never before pub-
lished ; besides a variety of other pieces, all of which
are good and pleasant melange of musical gossip. _

THE PEOPLE'S JOURNAL. Vol. 11. Edited
by John Saunders.

Having taken occasion to express our opinion upon
this periodical, as it appeared from month to month,
there is little necessity to say more than that the
binding is elegant and appropriate, and that the
" numbers," when collected together into a volume,
present a right goodly appearance. Besides, there is
no positive necessity for saying more on the score of
ensuring it the readers and subscribers it so well de-
serves : it is already so great a favourite with the
multitude, as to be able to dispense with any such
assistance to its circulation. Still we are so fully
satisfied with the talent visible in the pages of the
People's Journal, and so favourably impressed by
the generous and gentle tone with which the bulk of
its contributions are written, that we should be
doing an injustice, both to it and to ourselves, did
w not make the acknowledgment. The people will
not be losers by storing the volumes of the People's
Journal on their book-shelves.

GENERAL RULES.

In the subjects marked with an asterisk, girls need
not be examined, but in every year they will be expected
to show increased skill as aempstresses, and teachers of
sewing, knitting, &c.
In the examinations, the inspector will, in each 'ear,
observe the degree of attention paid by the pupil
teachers to a perfect articulation in reading, and to a
right modulation of the voice in teaching a class. A
knowledge of vocal music and of drawing. (especially
from models), though not absolutely required, because
the means of teaching it may not exist in every .chool,
will be much encouraged. Every pupil teacher will he
required to to clean in person and dress.
The number of pupil-teachers apprenticed in any
cool will nor exceed one to every twenty •five scholars
ordinarily attending.

COERCION OF VOTERS.

Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN asked the Noble Lord at the
head of the Government whether he was aware that
coercion had been used by certain landed proprietors of
Galway in favour of the Government candidate? He

favour of the Government candidate.

CERTIFICATE.

Every pupil-teacher who has passed all the foregoing
examinations, and has presented the required testi-
monials in each year, will be entitled to a certificate
declaring that he has successfully completed his ap-
prenticeship.

STIPENDIARY MONITORS.
The inspectors may, for some time, find in the rural
districts schools in which all the general conditions re-
quired for the apprenticeship of a pupil-teacher may be
satisfied, but the master or mistress of which may be
unable to conduct an apprentice even through the fore-
going course of instruction. Their Lordships being de-
sirous so to adapt their regulations to the condition of
such schools, as by their improvement to enable them
hereafter to provide for the training of pupil-teachers,
are disposed, for a few years, to encourage the mana-
gers to retain their monitors, by small stipends, to the
age of 17, without apprenticeship, but under a form of
agreement with the parents on condition that the master
give each monitor extra daily instruction.
For such an arrangement all the general rules and
preliminary conditions previously, enumerated will be
required, and the following qualifications for candidates
for such stipends:—
STIPENDIARY MONITORS.--QUALIPICATIONS OY CAN-

DIDATES.

Candidates must be 13 years of age, and they will be
required-
1. To read with fluency.
2. To write a neat hand.

3. To write from dictation sums in the first four
simple rules of arithmetic, and to work them correctly.
4. To point out the parts of speech in a simple
sentence.

5. In Church of England schools, to repeat the cate-
chism, and show a knowledge of its meaning—the paro-
chial clergyman assisting in thn, religious examination.
In other schools the managers will certify that they
are satisfied with the state of their religious knowledge.
6. Girls to sew neatly and to knit.

EXTRAORDINARY ESCAPE FROM CUSTODY. —On
Sunday evening last two men, named Kensington and Brown,
effected a most daring escape from the " lock-up," Fording-
bridge,.•. under the following circumstances --Brown was, on
Saturday last, examined on a charge.. of horse-stealing,. and
Was committed to take his trial, jest after which, an old
offender, named Kensington, was apprehended on a charge
of having stolen
goose,
and consequently it was thought
advi3able to detain Brown, in order that both prisoners
might be removedtogether to Winchester gaol, as it was
subsequentlYp4iarereallognlttohat the examination of Kensington
should take
consequenntilaY. In Fordingbridge there is no
le dice-station,
the strong refractory cells of the
'ordingbridge union workhouse are also used for the custoCy
of pris',ners. Brown and KensingtonB(; were on Sunday even-
ing last locked up in cells arl m:ntr.g
.each other, which were
separa:ed by a strong woodeni and in the dead of
broke through his cell
the night the prisoner Kensipngrtointiohn,

voured to escape through the room overhead, earnlrt
posed that they beard some one about
from this course. They then wrenched off the handle of a
slop-bucket, which was left in Brown's cell, and with this• l
strument they removed the floor, and then actually under-
mined the foundation, making a hole large enough to creel
through. By this means they gained access to the clay-room
of the union workhouse, and being thus far at liberty, they
then effected their escape to a large yard, also belonging to
the workhouse, and thence to some fields, by means of
ascending a large co& heap against a high wall, from which
they must have let themselves down, and thus completely
set themselves at liberty.
JERSEY WHEAT.—The Greyhound smack, from
Jersey, arrived here on Saturday last, with wheat. A rising
took place by some inhabitants of the islands to prevent the
export of the corn, and an attempt was made to unship her
rudder. The Zebra smack also arrived here the following
day with wheat, after having had some difficulty to clear out
from the island.—Plymouth Journal,

The import of Wool since this day se'nnight have con-
sisted of 37 bales from South America; 55 ditto from New

various other quarters. There is a fair amount of business
doing in the best qualities, at full price 3. Foreign and Colo-
