Indeed every_ p9a.that has hitherto passed at once fro.
thence to 'AMiscombe has either been posted to th.
,Engineers, or his position now in the,seminary is such
as to ensure his appointment in that corps.
We may take it as an approval of this combined
course of education, that Sir James Lushington, G.C.8.,
has placed an Addiscombe cadetship at the disposal of
the directors of the institution in question, to be com-
peted for in December next. In this liberal and con-
siderate disposal of his patronage as an East India
Director, Sir James Lushington has not only evinced
his interest, in the Cheltenham College, of which he-
has lately become one of the vice presidents and
an ex officio director, but has shown how much he
has the welfare of that Service at heart, of which he is
so distinguished a member, by thus selecting from up-
wards of three hundred pupils, which the college num-
bers, seventy of whom are in the civil and military
department, that young gentleman, whose attainments
shall prove most likely to do credit to the Company's
military seminary, and eventually, in all probability,
qualify him for occupying a prominent position in the
service of the Company itself, whose possessions are so
extensive.
If the Commander-in-Chief would, in like manner,
think fit to give a portion of the nominations to the
Military College at Sandhurst, and from time to time
recommend to her Majesty for commissions, even by
purchase, those students at the public schools and large

sing at morning concerts will bear heavily on our Opera
concert givers—since it deprives them of a first-class soprano,
and the only tenor worth listening to. A Naples letter will
show, in its writer's own flowery fashion, how slight have
been the attractions presented there during the past Easter
season :—" After a long suspension of all public amusements,
Naples has thrown aside what so ill becomes her—her
annual mourning ; and our theatres are again opened. I
proceed to give you the bill of fare. First, we will look in
at the Teatro Nuovo, hitherto more strictly appropriated to
the regular drama, but on Easter Monday distinguished by
the novelty of a 'Ballo ;' not that a new company of
Ballerini has been formed there, but that a detachment from
San Carlo has gone over to it; though it appears little pro-
bable that the colony will flourish at a distance from the
metropolis. The subject of the ballet is taken from the Due
Sergenti, with the title of Gugliehno e Roberto—a wretched
abortion, which will, doubtless, be fischiato from the stage, as
was the Ereda senea Eredita. The same fate seems to
threaten the Due Gemelli Simili. There is no novelty at II
Fondo ; but Beatrice di Tenda may be ever successfully
revived and repeated. Of two debutants in this charming

gave us a 'Divertimento di Ballo.' Signora Ferrari
awakened universal admiration ; indeed, the return of this
Psyche, more graceful, beautiful, and voluptuous than ever,
has produced an electrical effect, and quite turned the heads
of the excitable Neapolitans. It is said that she has
modelled herself after Cerito. She alone sustained the whole
interest of the Divertimento di Ballo,' and at present she is
the mark of universal admiration. With all her merit,
however, how slight a support is this of the theatrical
character of Naples—and how meagre is the bill of fare
which the Easter season offers!" It may assist some of our
early summer tourists, who are also fanatici, to state that a
grand Whitsuntide festival will be held at Aix-la-Chapelle
—to :be conducted by Dr. Mendelssohn, and " starred' by
Mdlle. Jenny Lind. The music to be performed is as
follows :—On the 31st of May, Mozart's Symphony, No. 5,
and ilaydn's Creation. On the Ist of June, Weber's
Overture to Oberon ; a Motet by Cherubini ; Beethoven's
C minor Symphony : and Handel's Alexander's Feast.
Some ten days later the good town of Liege
give its " celebrity," for which D. Mendelssohn
has expressly composed a Catholic Psalm, or Cantata, of
some extent. Shortly afterwards is to be held the grand
meeting of the singing societies at Cologne—also conducted
by Dr. Mendelssohn. So many " doubts and fears " have
been circulated with regard to the composers new oratorio,
and its possible or probable production at. Birmingham, that
we are glad to announce, on good authority, that it is com-
pleted, anti, will be there brought`forward, as originally in-
tended, late in August. Aldlle. Jenny Lind's career at

CHARGE AGAINST A PRIEST OF
OBTAINING MONEY UNDER FALSE PRE-
TENCES..

At the Liverpool police-court, on Monday, a well-dressed,
grey-headed man, named Robert Swaine, but who had lat-
terly assumed the name of Stafford Swaine (the first being
that of his mother), was brought before Mr. Rushton on a
charge of having obtained various sums of money from dif-
ferent parties, ostensibly for the re-building of a new chapel
, and priory at (we believe) a town in Ireland called Millory.
A woman named Mary Parker, and several other parties, had
been applied' to by the prisoner for donations towards
the object stated, which he obtained. It appeared that
the prisoner was a suspended Roman Catholic priest. Dr.
Kelly, of St. Joseph's Roman Catholic chapel, stated that
he believed the prisoner had no authority whatever front
his superiors to collect money for such an object, and
' that a letter, found, with others, upon him, purporting to be
written by Dr. Sharpies, the Roman Catholic Bishop, and
authorising him to collect money, was not in the handwriting
of that gentleman. Another Roman Catholic clergyman in
the Court expressed a similar opinion. On the prisoner was
found a book, with a heading or prospectus, as preparatory
to the names of donors for the object stated, and holding
out to subscribers certain religious advantages that would
accrue to them after the lapse of a twelvemonth. This
book contained the names of many respectable parties in
this town and neighbourhood, with sums appended as if sub-
scribed, but a considerable number of those were fictitious.
they not having been contributed, and those who had done
so were, of course, imposed upon. Dr. Kelly stated that
the prisoner, on being suspended, was required by his supe-
rior, in order to purge him of the offence he had committed,
to do penance by a residence of twelve months at a priory in
Rome, or some other part of the Continent ; but he had not,
it appeared, done so. The prisoner' on being asked what he
had to say, stated at some length that -he had .resided for
twelve months at (as we understood him) Mount Henry, and
that wishing to be reinstated as a priest, he had come to this_
town to solicit subscriptions, with a view to the rebuilding
the dilapidated chapel and priory of Millory. Heb ad_rodeanz•

was Mr. Richard Sheil, whose name appeared in the list of
donors, and who, it appeared, had been imposed upon by the
prisoner some three years ago. Mr. Rushton, after what was
stated by Dr. Sharpies, committed the prisoner to gaol for
three months, under the Vagrancy Act.

STATE OF TRADE.
MANCHESTER, MAY 19.—The continued suspense as to
the passing of the ministerial measures keeps this market in.
a very languid state; and, limited as the demand Was last
week, it is still more so now. Prices of yarn, however, con-
tinue perfectly firm. Indeed some spinners are asking
higher rates, on account of the advance in the price of
cotton. Goods, though nominally unchanged in price, are
in some cases bought on rather lower terms.
RocnnALr,- MAY 18.—There has been a thin attendance
of buyers in the market to-day ; and the business trans-

last Monday.

HUDDERSFIELD, MAY 19.—There is some improvement in
our market to• day, and we have a fair quantity of buyers
present. but the transactions have been principally for job
lots. After the close of the wool sales in London, greater
activity is expected amongst our manufacturers, there being
an actual scarcity of goods on hand.
LEEDS, ➢LAY 10.—Our market to-day has been very quiet
and no change worth reporting has taken place.

Dispatches were-received yesterday at the Colonial-
office from the Governors of the West India Colonies;
and also from the Governors of New South Wales and
New Zealand.

LOVE AND SITICIDE.—WORCESTER, MONDAY.--A fine
young woman, named Mary Hall, ;Ciece of Mr. Jeremy, land-
lord of the Angel Inn, in this cityc.put a period to her exist-
ence at her uncle's house, on Friday evening last, in conse-
quence, it is believed, of a disappointment in her affections ;
and an inquest has been held on the body before Mr. Hide,
coroner, and a respectable jury. A number of witnesses were

capacity of barmaid to her
uncle) to give one of the customers frequenting the house his
change out of some money handed to her by him, M
r•
y Jerem's
.son went up to her room, whither she had retired.
for the keys of the bar-till, for the purpose of giving the
customer his change. Mr. Jeremy, junior, found the de-
ceased standing on a chair, and, having procured the keys,
lie retired. Half an hour elapsed, and the deceased not
having come down stairs, young Mr. Jeremy again went up
to her room, and on entering it he found, to his horror, that
his cousin had hung herself by a scarf or shawl, to a staple its
the wall of the room. He instantly raised an alarm and cut
her down. Surgical assistance was sent for, but it was WO
late, the deceased being quite dead. There had been no
quarrel between thedeceased and her lover, the parties havirg
been on the best terms when they last met. The latter,
when examined at the inquest, seemed deeply affected at ti is
tragical event. The Coroner's jury having duly considered
the evidence of the witnesses brought before them, returnod.
a verdict of "Temporary insanity."
