THE FLOODS.

The valley of the Severn may now be aptly styled
the Severn sea, being flooded to a considerable extent.
°wino' ' to the continuous and heavy rain which pre-
vailed in the latter part of last week, the river con-
tinued to rise for several days afterwards, until over-
leaping its banks, it has covered the meadows on
either side with an extraordinarily wide expanse of
superabundant waters. The valley of the Severn
now presents a very curious appearance; the river
forcing its rapid and troubled course through a sheet
of placid waters, which becomes all the more remark-
able, streaked as it is by the partially submerged
hedge-rows, and dotted by trees.
We are not aware that any material damage has
been caused by the flood in this locality, and it is now
subsiding.
On Monday, a young man, named Cooke, was
drowned near Maisetnore-bridge, by falling into the
current while trying to get ashore with a cable from
a long boat, which had broken adrift at the Upper
Parting.
At Tewkesbury, the Warwickshire Avon, which
unites the Severn at Tewkesbury, rose much more ra-
pidly and to a greater height than has been experi-
enced for very many years; and if the waters of the
Severn had run down with equal force with those of
the Avon, the flood would indeed have been a most
extraordinary one. The whole of the meadows
in the neighbourhood of Tewkesbury were entirely
covered with water to a considerable depth ; and
three out, of the four principal roads which lead
into the borough were rendered quite impassable;
but no material loss, except the carrying away a
quantity of timber, and removing some fencing,
occurred in the immediate vicinity of the town.
At Evesham Messrs. Burlingham Malin, Hunt,
Gilbert, and indeed many others in the locality, have
experienced great losses. Mr. Holtom, of Cleeve, it
is said, has had 70 sheep washed away, and Mr.
Hopkins, of Offenham, 25 ; the latter has also lost a
cart colt.—Gloucestershire Chronicle.

"WAIT TILL YOU'RE ASKED."
(From the Man in the Moon.)
Following up the sentiments of the letter which he ad-
dressed to the Times, and in which he declared his earnest
hope that the people of London wou.d not be too hasty
and enthusiastic in loading him with honours and dinners,
M. Louis Blanc has written to us at length, repeating his
determination not to allow himself to be made much of
in England.
M. Louis Blanc therefore declares—
That he will not, on any account, accept of the Free-
dom of the City of London, enclosed in a gold box, and
accompanied by a magnificent service of plate—valued
at ii,ooo/.
That he will not on any account accept of any such
honorary distinction as being made a Knight Companion
of the Bath, of the Fleece, or of the Garter.
That he will not accept of any legacies which may
be left him, of houses, lands, estates, or vast sums of
money in the funds.
That he will not accept of any public dinner from the
Honourable East India Company, from the Directors of
the Bank of England, or from any of the principal Clubs
in Pall-mall.
That he will not accept any invitations to any pleasant
and brilliant parties, where he will be the lion of the
evening and the admired of all observers.
That he will not accept of any pension of 5,0001.,
10,0001, or 20,000/. a year from the Government of this
country, or from any other quarter whatever.
That he will not and cannot for a moment allow him-
self to be made the object of numerous complimentary
and sympathising addresses agreed to at vast public
meetings, and presented by numerous deputations at the
head of tremendous processions, and amid the clang and
bang of trumpets and cannons.
And, finally (and what is more extraordinary than all),
that he will not accept of the situation of Contributor to
the Man in the Moon.

THE ADVANTAGE OF KNOWING WHERE TO Lows.
FOR I HUSBAND I—A woman living in Ashby inquired
the other Sunday of one of the police, if he could give
her any tidings of her " mon" (meaning her husband),
and said she wished " Parliament was fur enough for
altering the lag" (alluding to the Act now in operation
compelling publicans to keep their houses closed the
whole of Sunday morning), " she could always find her
mon till the last Sunday or two, for he always got drunk
in the morning, and was in bed the remainder of the day;
but now she know'd no more where to look for him than
the mon in the moon. But Parliament folk cared nout
what trouble they gee poor craters."—Derbyshire Courier.
SINGULAR BEQUEST.—Mrs. Jane Thompson, who,
with the exception of a short period, has held the office
of the nurse at the Cumberland Infirmary since the
opening of that institution, died on Monday last after a
short illness. A few days before her death, feeling that
ttere was no prospect of her recovery, she presented
the whole of her savings, amounting to about 201, for
the benefit of the infirmary. This is a very pleasing
example of devotion to the interests of an institution,
the merits of which the deceased must have been a
competent judge. We know of no higher compliment
to the infirmary than such a bequest as this.—Carlisle
Patriot.
MURDER.—The Autumn Circuit was opened at
Ayr on Wednesday. The only case of importance was
that of James M‘Wheelan or M'Queen, accused of the
crimes of murder and robbery, in so far as on the 26th
or 27th of May, 1848, he did (on the Backhill-road,
leading from Fort Acres, or Forty Acres' toll-bar to
the turnpike road from Ayr to Kilmarnock, at a spot
about nine miles from Ayr) attack and assault. James
Young, servant with Mr. Joseph Smith, farmer,
Forty Acres, and did strike him with a stone on the
head, and severely wound him with a chisel on the neck,
so that the said Jomes Young did immediately or soon
thereafter die. The libel also charged the prisoner
with abstracting from the murdered man the following
articles:—A silver watch, a watch chain and watch
key, a watch guard, and 15a. in silver. There were no
fewer than 93 witnesses cited for the prosecution in
this case, which, from the peculiar barbarity and wan-
tonness of the crime, excited great interest. The trial
lasted two days, and the prisoner was unanimously
found guilty, and sentenced to be executed at Ayr on
the morning of the 26th instant. The prisoner, who
throughout the trial maintained an air of stolid indiffer-
ence, became nervously anxious towards the conclusion.
On judgment being given, he with an excited voice pro-
tested his innocence, saying he had received the watch
from a man named Hall, in Kilmarnock. The last exe-
cution in Ayr was that of the unfortunate Waugh (some
16 years ago), who shot a man during the Orange riots
at Girvan.—Ayr Advertiser.
VALUE or LIFE.—In the West Indies, a colonel
was ordered to disembark his corps to attack one of the
islands. In stepping into a boat he tell overboard, the
current carried him rapidly from the ship, when an honest
tar jumped after him, kept him afloat till a boat was dis-
patched to his assistance, and put him safely on board.
One of Jack's messmates observing the colonel put some-
thing into the hands of his deliverer, stepped up to him,
exclaiming, " Damme, Jack, you are in luck to-day ;"
and eagerly opening his hands, expecting to share in
a can of grog; but on discovering the reward, a six-
pence, the tar uttered a prayer, and whispered his mess-
mate, " Never mind, Jack, every men knows the value
of his life be,t."

VESSEL FOUNDERED.--SIX MEN DROWNED..-By

day, we learn that on Saturday last, the schooner Caro-
line, Captain Cable, from Newport, with coals, bound to
Tarragona, struck on the Seven Stones, at 10 A. 31 , and
soon afterwards went down. We re:.,,ret to add, that all
the crew perished, except the mate, who supported him-
self by laying hold of a l'idder that floated from the
vessel, until he was picked up by 4 boat from the light

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
A boy about twelve years of age, named Joseph
Bowman, one of the charity boys of St. Botolph,
Aldgate, was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged
with having wounded with a penknife Richard Mor-
ken, who is about the same age, and belongs to Sir
John Cass's charity school.
Between eight and nine o'clock on Sunday evening
the complainant had been quarrelling with other boys,
and the prisoner interfered. As it was considered by
the former that such interference was unnecessary, he
said he would pitch into the intruder, and followed
for the purpose of carrying the threat into effect. The
prisoner had an open penknife in his hand at the time,
and on finding that he was likely to be pitched into,
he gave his hand a sudden direction towards the head
of the complainant, and split open the thick part of
the boy's ear.
The prisoner protested that when he held up his
hand in which his knife was grasped, upon being at-
tacked by the complainant, he said, " You see I have
a knife in my hand," and that he had no notion of
doing any serious injury, and that the stab was merely
accidental.
The medical man who examined the wound said it
was not dangerous.
The LORD MAYOR desired that the prisoner should
be taken to the master of the school to which he be-
longed, with directions that he be soundly flogged for
having used his penknife on such an occasion.
William Wynne was brought up for final examina•
tion, upon the charge of having attempted to shoot
Cornick, the City policeman, at Queenlaithe, some
nights ago.
The only additional evidence brought forward was
that of the person fired at, who said, in answer to a
question from the Lord Mayor, that he had attended
several times at Chartist meetings in plain clothes, by
the direction of his superior officers.
The prisoner added nothing to what he stated be-
fore, which was, that he had been pulled or knocked
about either by the policeman at whom he snapped
the pistol, or by some other policeman.
He was committed for trial at the Central Criminal
Court.

Thomas Ellis was charged with having stolen a
parcel from the top of a travelling cart.
The prisoner had been observed by a policeman in
the neighbourhood of. Bishopsgate-street, following
the cart, while two accomplices kept up with him.
%VII( n they got close to the cart, one of his com-
panions said, "On touji llit, Tom, it's all right." Toni
then dexterousuly sliptcd the parcel, which contained
31. worth of buttons,, ff the cart. Upon hearing a
whistle, however, ant,ix sudden call from his accom-
plices, he flung down -the parcel and began to run.
Off his companions rail too, and they were more suc-
cessful than he, for they got clear away, while he ran
into the arms of the policeman, by whom he was con-
ducted to the station-house.
The prisoner said he had never seen any parcel or
cart. All he knew was, that as he was going along a
policeman, for the want of business he supposed, took
hold of him, and lugged him to gaol.—Committed for
trial.

Henry Rose was committed for trial upon a charge
of having robbed his former employers of ten empty
oil casks. The prisoner had been carman to Messrs.
Houghton, who have premises in Whitecross-street
for their empty casks, and he was perfectly well ac-
quainted with the whole of the concern. He had
taken a van to the premises, deliberately loaded it
with the casks, and he conveyed them to a person
who purchased them, but without suspecting how
they had been obtained.
A young girl named Margaret Steil was charged
with having attempted to destroy herself.
A policeman, in passing over London-bridge, was
applied to by two gentlemen who were holding the
girl in one of the recesses, and said they were trying
to prevent her from leaping into the river, into which
she seemed determined to fling herself. The police-
man advised her to go home but she said the water
was her home, and she would go to it.
The unfortunate creature, whose age did not appear
to exceed fifteen years, seemed to be in the deepest
affliction.
She was remanded.
Jane Driscoll and Eliza Williams were charged
with having robbed John Allen of three sovereigns.
The complainant had, although acquainted with the
tricks of the town, consented to treat the two pri-
soners. He pulled out his purse, in which were three
sovereigns, to pay, but finding that he had coppers
enough to clear the score, he pocketed his purse, and
paid down his halfpence. His companions soon gave
him proof of their skill, for he suddenly missed his
purse, and the two women disappeared at the
same time, but they were quickly picked for by
a policeman. Thettponey was all gone; but the
complainant said that when he went home to bis wife,
and pulling off his coat, the empty purse dropped
upon the ground. One of the prisoners having been
apprehended before the other, the latter, in the excess
of friendship, called at the station-house, declared
that she, and not her companion, was the thief; and
heroically requested to be taken as the substitute. It
was, however, thought most prudent to combine the
two in the charge.
Both prisoners deuied all knowledge of the robbery
they were charged with, and were committed to pri-
son, the one for 14 days, and the more experienced
thief, Eliza Williams, for six weeks.
Edward Linforth, a person who had been in the
employment of Messrs. Alsop, ale-brewers, was
charged with having embezzled several sums of
money, amounting in the whole to about 201.
The prisoner went to a station in a different part of
the town on the night of the Ist of October, and said
he was desirous to give himself up to justice, as he
had robbed his employers.—Fully committed for trial.
GUILDHALL.
Thomas Congreve, a cattle-dealer in Smithfield-
market, was summoned for cruelty to a bullock, under
the following circumstances :
George White, 24, one of the police-officers attend-
ing the market, said that on Monday morning, the
25th of September, he was on duty in Smithfield,
when he saw the defendant strike one of the bullocks
such a severe blow on the hock, that the animal's leg
became immediately contracted, and compelled him to
stand on three legs; at the same time two other
drovers struck him on the nose and made it bleed.
The animal appeared in great pain from the blow on
the hock, when another drover gave him a blow on
the other hock, which forced the poor thing to stand
at once or fall down, however painful the operation
might be. He went to the defendant and asked him
why he acted so cruelly towards the animal ; when he
replied that he had been aggravated by the beast, and
he would do so again if it annoyed him, as it was his
own property. It was a common practice in the 1
market for drovers to treat the bullock in that way,
and if anything was said, the owners generally came
forward, and said they had a right to do what they
liked with their own.
Alderman LAWRENCE asked the defendant what he
had to say in reply ?
Mr. Congreve, who treated the matter in a very
cavalier manner, said the bullock was a nasty and
unhappy animal, which would not allow any of the
other cattle to stand still, in consequence of which he
caused a great hindrance to their sale. He ordered
the men to strike him, and did so himself, but without
any cruelty, and he thought the present charge
brought by the officer a most frivolous one; besides,
it was his own beast.
Alderman LAWRENCE—But that does not justify
you in using cruelty. I know there is a great deal
of trouble with them, but still they must be treated
with some moderation.
The officer said the drovers had been fined ss.
each, on Saturday, before the Police Committee.
Alderman LAWRENCE observed, that if the officer
had been one not long in the force, he might have
imagined he had been mistaken ; but when it was
considered that he had been appointed to attendithe
market, had been there for many years, and was a
most intelligent officer, he must give credence to his
testimony. He should, therefore, fine the defendant 103.
Mr. Congreve immediately paid the fine.
SOUTHWARK.
James Tilley, a tall powerful young man, was
brought before Mr. Cottingharn for re-examination,
charged with indecently assaulting Elizabeth Chess-
nutt, a child eight years of age, the daughter of the
Rev. Mr. Chessnutt, late incumbent of Trinity Church,
Newington.
On the previous examination the little girl, who was
accompanied by her mother, stated that her parents
we
separately, and that she was with her
mother livingheru until taken away by her father, who took her
to live with him at 41, king-street, Soho. That
while there, during the absence of her father, the
prisoner had behaved in a very rude way to her, and
that she mentioned it to her father when he returned
home ; but he desired her not to mind it, and that the
prisoner, who lived in the house and had his meals
with her father, was in the habit of assaulting her in
the same indecent manner, until she was taken away
by a gentleman to her mother's residence. The com-
plainant, on being desired by Mr. Cottingham, de-
scribed with minuteness the manner in which the
prisoner had acted towards her on the various occa-
sions, and which is unfit to describe—that on her
return home to her mother she mentioned the facts

to her.
Mrs. Chessnutt stated that'she had been living apart
from her husband since the 25th of last March—that
she separated from him in consequence of his immoral
conduct—that he had spent 8,0001. of her money in
extravagance—that since then had 2,0001. more to
pay off his debts, all of which was her own money;
and that he was in the habit of associating with low
company—that he otherwise so conducted himself to-
wards her that she found it impossible to live with
him, particularly as she had a young family of chil-
dren, who were set such an example by their parent,
and that she therefore left him, and, with her chil-
dren, placed herself and them under the protection of
her father. She added, that the Rev. Mr. Ctesitautt

inveigled Amy, their daughter, to a house in King-
street, Soho, and 'that upon her return again, the
child described the particulars of the indecent conduct
pursued towards her while there ; and she (the
mother) lost no time in bringing the matter under
the notice of the magistrate, in order that such a
delinquent as the defendant might be punished, and
her child be prevented from being again exposed to
the contamination of such characters as her father
associated with.

When the defendant was placed at the bar this day,
Mr. COTTINGIIAM inquired if the Rev. Mr. Chessnutt
was in attendance, and the answer being in the affir-
mative, the magistrate, addressing the gentleman, ex-
pressed his astonishment that he was not present on
the former occasion, when so serious an accusation was
preferred by his own child against a man who was
living in the same house with him, and who, he must
be aware, was in custody on the charge. That the
inquiry was postponed frem last Wednesday, at the
request of the prisoner, on his stating that he
wished the Rev. Mr. Chessnutt to be called, who
would give important evidence in his behalf. The
magistrate added, that his daughter's statement should
now be read over, and that the prisoner could put any
questions he thought proper to him, with reference to
the charge.
Mr. Edwin, the chief clerk, then read the state-
ment abore alluded to, and when he came to that
part of it which related to the complainant having
informed her father of the prisoner's misconduct to
her,r. Salomons, who attended on behalf of the ac-
cused, addressing the Rev. Mr. Chessnutt, asked him
if there was any truth in it? Whether his daughter
had complained to him of assaults upon her ?—He re-
plied that she had not.
Mr. COTTINGLIMII—Pray, Mr. Chessnutt, was:tl3e
prisoner in your service, or in what relation does he
stand to you?
The Rev. Mr. Chessnutt—He was not in my ser-
vice, but he lodged in the same house, and was atten-
tive and occasionally played with the child, to divert
her, when I took her away from her mother.
Mr. Salomons—Do you believe that there is any
truth, then, in the statement made by your daughter
against the accused ?
Mr. COTTINGtIAM—It is not for him to judge as to

the truth or falsehood of her account. t: tested the
child's capacity and credibility before the oath was
administered, and every circumstance she has related
to me is quite consistent, and bears the impress of
truth ; for although her parents are separated, and at
enmity, still it is absurd to suppose that this child in-
herits their feelings, and that she would come forward
to make such a charge as this without foundation.
The magistrate then (addressing Mr. Chessnutt)
asked whether the cbild had communicated the
defendant's misconduct towards her to him at his
lodging in King-street, Soho ?
The Rev. Mr. Chessnutt—She never did. She has
been tutored by other parties to trump up this story,
which is entirely destitute of truth. She never men-

tioned such a thing to me.
In reply to Mr. COTTING
.UAM, the Rev. Gentleman
said that the prisoner was in the habit of going into
his bed-room at times, with hot water for shaving, &c.
This question was put by the Magistrate, as the
complainant had stated that the assaults perpetrated
on her by the prisoner were frequently committed in
her father's bed-room.
Mr. Siilomens—lf your daughter had mentioned
the circumstance of her having been so grossly as-
saulted as she now describes to you, would you not
have adopted proceedings against the offender ?
The Rev. Mr. Chessnutt—Unquestionably I should
have done so.
Mr. COTTINGEIAM here had the little girl brought
forward, and when she heard her father's denial of her
having complained to him of the prisoner's miscon-
duct, she persisted in the truth of all she had stated.
She added that she knew a Miss Ebers and a Mrs.
Elliott, at the house in King street, but she did not
mention to them .the way she had been treated by
the prisoner, and that her reason for not doing so was
on account of her short acquaintance with them, and
that she thought telling her father of it, he would
prevent it in future. That her mother did not tell
her to make up the story about the prisoner, and she
added that he was in the habit of taking her out of
bed and dressing her.
Mr. COTTINGRAM here observed that he never
heard anything more improper, not to say indelicate,
than for a person in the Rev. Gentleman's position in
life permitting a man like the prisoner to be attend-
ing, And dressing and undressing his child, and that
child a daughter, particularly as it appeared there
were two females in the house; that, to say the least
of it, he acted with great indiscretion in suffering such
a man to be about his child. . _

The Rev. Mr. dhessnutt said that Mrs. Elliott and

Miss Ebers did attend upon the child when' they
were at leisure, but he could not expect they would
be always with her ; that he, however, was seldom
from home, and that the prisoner, he should say, had
no opportunity of acting in the manner she described.
Mr. COTTINGIIAII—If the child could not have
been properly attended to by you, she ought not to
have been taken away from the care of her mother.
The magistrate added, that at the last examination he
had given directions for the child to be examined by
a medical man, in order to ascertain if her statement
of the violence offered to her by the prisoner was
borne out by the appearances which would be likely
to be perceptible if such had been the case.
Mr. Saltiel, a surgeon, was then called, and he
proved that violence had been done to the child, and
although eight or ten days had elapsed since the
period, yet there were indications of it still existing.
Mr. Salomons contended that the evidence was not
sufficiently strong against the prisoner to warrant the
magistrate in sending the case for trial ; that the
father of the child flatly contradicted her, and declared
on his oath that she had not communicated the alleged
circumstance of the prisoner having assaulted her to
him (the father), and it was not probable that if such
had been the case he would have denied it, in order to
screen such an offender. If the magistrate did commit
the prisoner, he was convinced no jury would convict
him.

Mr. COTTINGHABE said that notwithstanding what
had been urged in the prisoner's defence, he believed
the child to be the witness of truth, and that she was
not biassed either one way or the other, but had told
the manner in which she had been treated by the"
prisoner ; that he, the magistrate, could not help re-
marking that the conduct of the father of the child
was most remarkable ithroughout. He, the magis-
trate, should therefore commit the prisoner.
Mr. Salomons—l hope you will accept of bail to
a reasonable amount, otherwise the prisoner will be
compelled to lie in gaol till his trial.
Mr. COTTINGRaIt said, that as it was a bailable
offence, he should, therefore, adjudge the prisoner to
enter into his own recognizance of 1001., and find two
sureties of 50/., to answer the charge at the next ses-
sions for Middlesex.
Mrs. Chessnutt trusted that her husband would
not be suffered to take away his daughter again.
Mr. COTTINGHAM told her that the child was to
remain with her, at all events, until the trial was
over, and that she need not alarm herself, for she
might rest assured that no judge would, under the
present circumstances, permit the father to have any
control over her.
curing the requisite bail.
The prisoner was then committed in default of pro-

WOMBWELL'S MENAGERIE.—Such a series of dis-
asters has seldom occurred on the transition of a collec-
tion of beasts as happened between Seaton and Lyme
Regis, on Sunday week. Soon after the carriages began
to be removed from Seaton the rain fell in torrents,
literally soaking them, and continued the whole of the
way. On coming up Bossell-hill the van which con-
tained the lions and tigers fell over, and with great diffi-
culty was again put in an upright position, to proceed
on its journey. On the arrival of the van containing
the elephant by High Cliffs House, where the rosd is
very steep, the shatt of the van touched the legs of one
of the horses, which commenced plunging and kicking
furiously, and frightening the other horses drawing the
van, upon which the whole of them set off at a gallop
do an the hill, nearly coming into collision with the
landau of R. B. \Vrey, Esq., of Weir Cliffe, in which
was Mrs. %Vrey, returning from church. Her life was
in imminent danger, as the van threatened to crash her
carriage to pieces; the horses, however, reached the
bottom of the hill without further damage, but imme-
diately on entering the field of exhibition the wheel of
gave way beneath its weight, break-
this ponderous van
and bringin the carriage down
ing into several pieces, g
on its axletree. " These disasters were of a more serious
nature than all which had happened to the menagerie
during the whole year previous," said one of the coin-
pany, and these, be it remembered, befel it on a Sunday.
Its misfortunes, however, did not terminate here, for on
drawing the beasts from the town on Tuesday, the van
containing the zebra was turned over, and in order to
set it right again, it had to be disencumbered of its
burden, which for a time was allowed to be at large in
the field.—Exeter Flying Post.
GREAT LONGSTONE WARE3.—This annual " feast
of the dedication," which about nine years ago was cele-
brated fur its savage brutality, passed off this year in
the moat rational and Cliristianlike manner possible.
Every cottage was the scene of true hospitality, and the
light hearts and happy faces might bo seen emerging
from the newly. adorned dwellings with rapture. The
three Ember days at this season always occurring in the
feast week, the church was tolerably attended ; it is d,-
dicated to St. Giles, but it appears that when the new
style was introduced, the time of keeping the feast
was not altered. On Thursday afternoon the Sunda
school children to the number of 150, had their annual -
treat of tea and plain cake. Two tables were erected
in a little croft close by the church, which was most
tastefully arranged with flowers, and loaded with cakes ;
almost every mother in the village came to witness the
scene, and about 50 partook of tea at the parsonage.
The day was very fine, and the boys amused themselves
with cricket, running races, &c., whilst the girls were
engaged in every species of imaginable frolic. The
darkeess put an end to the scene.—Derby Mercury.
POST-OFFICE.—On Saturday the receiving office for
letters in the East India-road, Poplar, was opened for
the issue and payment of money orders.

EMIGRATION AND THE RAIL-
WAY INTERESTS.
SWINDON.—On Wednesday last we witnessed a new
and highly-important movement, illustrative of the feel-
ing with which emigration to Australia is being viewed
by the higher order of the operative classes in this
country. The numerous artificers and labourers in the
employ of the Great Western Railway at Swindon, the
foces of the company's locomotive manufactory, as-
sembled in the hall of the Mechanics' Institute at that
station, to receive a deputation from the Colonisation
Society, who had been specially invited to expound the
principles of the association, in order that those to
whom they should appear to be applicable might avail
themselves of the information and assistance so afforded
to proceed to Australia. The primary cause of this
solicitation on the part of the workmen was the
fact that a large number of them are under notice,
which expirk on Saturday next, to quit the services
of the compWy, owing to a cessation of operations,
on branches and subsidiary lines leased to, or that
were once intended to be made by, the Great Western.
The determination of the company to curtail all
practicable outlay from those sources having ren-
dered inevitable the dismissal of many hands, those
so removed naturally felt anxious to ascertain if the
Australian colonies furnished a likely field for ser-
vices for which an adequate demand no longer existed
at home, and those retained were hardly less anxi-
ous to learn the probabilities of benefiting their
present condition, and leaving a competence to tt it
children, in the same direction. The directors, aides. in
the gratification of this laudable desire most cordially,
following the example of the Brighton and South-
Western, in placing every facility and accommodation
at the disposal of the deputation. The gentlemen from
the Colonisation Society who volunteered to impart
the requisite knowledge, were Mark Boyd, Esquire,
C. D. Logan, Esquire, and A. H. Forrester, Esquire,
whose reception throughout the evening was of the
most gratifying character possible. The hall, which
is capable of containing a very large auditory,
was crowded to excess, numbers being unable to
obtain standing room; for not only were there the great
majority of the resident operatives of the works, but
there were many from other parts of the line and the
neighbourhood, several females also being present, to
whom the intelligence as to the destitution of Australia
in domestic servants appeared to be fraught with the
greatest interest. The band of the Mechanics' Institu-
tion were in attendance, and both before and after the
chief business of the evening performed a variety of
recent compositions in a manner that would do credit to
veteran professors, much less to self-taught amateurs of
very brief experience.
Mr. Archibald Sturrock, the intelligent manager of
the vast and varied works at Swindon, was voted by ac-
clamation to the chair, and on taking it introduced the
deputation in some pithy and pregnant remarks as to
the importance of the object in hand, and the character,
high standing, and qualifications of Mr. Mark Boyd and
his colleagues in the task of enlightening the public by
means of trustworthy and indisputable data, most of it
drawn from actual personal experience of the colony,
and all of it derived direct from the best possible sources
at head-quarters, both here and in the Australias.
Mr. M. Boyd said the labour that devolved upon him
was rendered exceedingly trivial from the circumstance
of his being associated with it gentleman of the grant co-
lonial experience, general information, and large capacity,
of Mr. Logan. He (Mr. Boyd) considered it particularly
fortunate, both for the mother country, and our fruitful
possessions at the antipodes, that Mr. Logan should be
in England at a moment like the present, when our
whole population seemed to be thoroughly awaking to a
sense of the absorbing importance of turning to a pru-
dent and obvious, but hitherto comparatively neglected
account, the advantages the colonial empire of Great
Britain had placed at the disposal of its people in con-
nection with emigration—the only means of establishing
' an equipoise between redundant labour and limited de-
mand for it, on the one hand, and limitless demand and
an inadequate supply oa tile other. Mr, Logan came to
this country the bearer of the confidence and the wishes
of the principal inhabitants of New South Wales to
the home Government, and certainly it was only due to
the Colonial-office to say that he had met with a degree
of attention in all respects worthy of his mission. Earl
Grey, and all the subordinate functionaries of that de-
partment, including especially her Majesty's Commis-
sioners of Emigration, bad availed themselves zealously
and continuously of the information which his
local knowledge enabled him to supply, and
which his discernment prompted him to impart
in the most judicious and useful manner possible.
Not only had the Government officials recognised him
as a suitable exponent of colonial requirements in
respect to labour, but many of the leading magistrates
of the metropolis, and of England at large, had
put themselves in direct and unintermitting com-
munication with him since his arrival here a
few months ago, in reference to a question of
scarcely inferior social interest to emigration itself—
namely, penal or criminal discipline, to which sub-
ject he had devoted the most minute attention.
Now, the Colonisation Society accounted themselves
especially fortunate in having secured his co-operation
during his sojourn in England, before he returned to the
country of his adoption, whose welfare he was so well
calculated to promote. Mr. Boyd then proceeded to detail
what the Colonisation Society had recently been doing
at Brighton, Southampton, and in London, and what
they proposed doing elsewhere. They had had numer-
ous invitations from the north, particularly from York-
shire, in which great county a moat active, philanthropic,
and highly informed magistrate, Barnard Hague, Esq.,
was exerting himself in a manner that would be produc-
tive of the greatest benefit to all who came within the
sphere of his benevolent and meritorious influences in
connexion with this subject. He was an invaluable pio-
neer to the society, who hoped to be busy in the manu-
facturing towns in that direction in the course of the
present month; and through the assistance of such friends
as Mr. Hague, of whom he was happy to say they had
many, he had no doubt they would be quite as success-
ful as they had been in the south. Circumstances, how-
ever, induced them to give attention at the earliest possi-
ble moment to the requisition from Swindon, the earn-
estness of whose artisans in seeking for information
respecting Australia was sufficiently proved by a meeting
like the one then assembled. This movement was
worthy of their intelligence, worthy of the intelligence
of men through whose instrumentality the deputation
were enabled to perform what would have been deemed
a miracle even half a dozen short years ago—accom-
plishing the distance from London to that hall—about
77 miles, in one hour and a half, and in a mode so easy,
so little fatiguing, that the traveller was hardly con-
scious of the motion. The society did not propose to
advise or dictate to any one. They merely wished to
tell what they knew, what was notorious in the colony
as to the want of labour, and what that labour would
produce to the possessor of it; and to let those receiving
such tidings draw their own inferences. The colony was
doing all in its power, making every sacrifice to get la-
bour from England, where it was every day becoming of
less and less value. Up to October last 170,000/. had
been received here to dispatch hands, for want of which
an incalculable amount of the finest food and most valu-
able produce was perishing. Since then, from 50,000/.
to 60,000 L more had been received, and more still was on
its way hither for the same purpose. This money was
not Government grants wrung from obnoxious taxes. It
accrued from the natural wealth of the colony—the sale
of lands and the voluntary offerings of the colonists, and
all was devoted to obtain that of which Australia could
not have too much, nor could we part wish too much,
viz,—labour, of which every species and description that
was accompanied with health and good behaviour pro-
cured the owner a competence to begin with, and an
ultimate independence to all of moderate age, and of
provident and self-controlling habits. Mr. Boyd then
proceeded to paint out in what way the Colonisation So-
ciety assisted, by part payment of the passage money, in
obtaining the sanction of the Emigration Commissioners
for a class of emigrants other than agricultural, such, for
instance, as the majority of those he was then address-
ing. He regretted that on this point the meeting had
not the opportunity of bearing the chairman of the so-
ciety, the Hon. F. Scott, the Member for Roxburghshire,
the utility of whose labours in the cause of emigration it
would be quite impossble to eulogise sufficiently. Ile
was then in Scotland devoting his great talents and in-
defatigable industry to the same end, instead of seeking
the relaxation he so much needed after the fatigues of
the past session, but of the nature of which those who
merely judged by the newspapers could form no idea
whatever. Mr. Boyd concluded an animated speech,
which was loudly applauded, by calling upon
Mr. Locust, who, in a most interesting address of
nearly an hour's duration, and which fully tu,tifed the
eulogiums pronounced upon him by the preceding
speaker, detailed the result of upwards of a dozen years'
observation of the labour Market in New South Wales,
its supply and demand, and the consequences of a scar-
city of hands in the colony generally, and some of sud-
den gluts in particular spots on certain occasions. Ho
went most fully and comprehensively into the question
in all its essential bearings—national, imperial, social,
and economic—cleverly shaping his remarks to the par-
ticular pursuits of his audience, and showing that though
certain handicrafts in iron and metals might not obtain
an immediate market, yet a readiness to turn one's hand
to anything, together with the intelligence characteristic
of a good English mechanic, would always, at the very
outset, procure in the colony an equivalent to his full
ordinary earnings at home, and that his skilled labour
would be of coarse proportionably recompensed when
legitimately rendered available, the prospect of its so
being increasing every successive day. After a vivid
sketch of the position of the colony, illustrated
by many remarkable instances of the ruinous
effects of the lack of labour—pastoral, mechanical, and
domestic, male and female—Mr. Logan invited his
hearers to put questions that should elicit the precise
sort of information applicable to the individual case of
each interrogator. This led to a singular and highly
instructive scene. Many of the operatives proceeded to
catechise the Learned Gentleman, and in so doing exhi-
bited not only the greatest natural shrewdness, but an
amount of acquired jknowledge of the Australian cob,.
nies that should be witnessed before it could be fully
credited. Mr. Logan replied with great good humour,
succinctly to the point, and, without a single exception,
to the satisfaction of every inquisitor. Passing from the
rates of wages, &e., he was examined as to the sanitary
and physical peculiarities of the colony, the mode of ob-
taining land in small quantities, prices of wearing ap-
parel, and many other matters, in which his extensive
household experience, as one who had reared a large
family in the colony, stood him in excellent stead, and
were regarded as most conclusive by those who spoke in
behalf of their better halves as well as of themselves. In
all points involving matters pertaining to shipping he
was ably assisted by Mr. Boyd, that gentleman on one
occasion giving a striking instance of the stringency with
which the Emigration Contraissioners enforce theirrules as
to the seaworthiness of the vessels they employ. A mer-
chant of great eminence in the City had informed him
within the last few days that he had been compelled to
frond 3,8001. on one of the vessels so chartered, though

any private trader would pronounce it perfectly fit to take
the most precious cargo to any part of the globe without
one penny outlay in repairs. Mr. Logan was repeatedly
thanked by the different spokesmen of the operatives,
and having met fully all queries, and presented the in-
stitution I% ith maps, publications of the society, and co-
lonial journals, resumed his seat amidst vehement ap-
plause, which was resumed with increased heartiness
when he promised to pay a second visit shortly, and sup-
ply any omissions which a perusal of the documents he
now left might suggest that he had made.

After a pause, the meeting having now lasted a couple
of hours,

Mr. BOYD proposed a vote of thanks to the Chairman,
and in doing so passed a very elaborate encomium upon
him. Mr. Sturrock had made the Colonisation Society
collectively, and himself (Mr. Boyd) particularly, his
debtors, for the instructive evening that had been spent,
and for the results that would asuredly flow from it; and
he therefore begged leave to present to him the best
thanks of that most numerous, and, he would add, alto-
gether unpree,dented meeting.
Mr. A. H. FORRESTER having seconded the motion
which was carried with enthusiasm, . .

Mr. STURROCK briefly and appropriately adverted to
the compliment that had been paid him, and then went
on to say how deeply he felt the painful duty the direc-
tors had, with the greatest regret themselves, imposed
upon him, of discharging a large number of workmen.
Unfortunately, such was the state of the money market,
such the depreciation of all railway property at present,
that the directors could not think of proceeding with
further extension, either in the shape of their own tri-
butary lines, or of lines they have leased from other
companies; and therefore the present reduction of their
establishment was equally a matter of necessity and of
duty, and every person would admit its propriety and
justice, even those who most suffered by it.
After some remarks as to the probable value of the
information the deputation had afforded, the meeting
broke up.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
EASTERN UNION.

An extraordinary meeting of the shareholders of the
Eastern Union Railway, took place yesterday at Rad-
ley's Hotel, Bridge-street, Blackfriars, for the purpose
of taking into consideration a proposition of the direc-
tors for the modification of an agreement made between
the Colchester, Stour Valley, Sudbury, and Halstead
Railway Company, the Ipswich and Bury Saint Edmund
Railway Company, and the Eastern Union Railway
Company, on the Bth day of June, 1847, for demising
and leasing the Colchester, Stour Valley, Sudbury, and
Halstead Railway, and certain Extension Lines and
premises, to the Ipswich and Bury St. Edmund's Rail-
way Company, and for working, using, and enjoying the
same; and if the meeting should determine upon any
modification of such agreement, then for the purpose of
approving the terms thereof, and of authorising the di-
rectors of the Eastern Union Railway Company to affix
the corporate seal of that Company to such contract or
agreement as may be submitted to the meeting for car-
rying out such terms, and also to such other deeds, con-
tracts, agreements, leases, and instruments as the direc•
tors of such last-mentioned company may deem neces-
sary for carrying the same into effect.
Colonel Barlow took the chair shortly after two
o'clock. . . . .

The advertisement calling the meeting having been
read by the Secretary,
The CHAIRMAN said that it would not be necessary
for him to occupy their time by stating the provisions of
the modified agreement, as the proprietors were already
in possession of a circular recently addressed by the
directors to the shareholders, fully explaining the sir
cumstances that bad induced them to enter into the
agreement for a lease with the Stour Valley Company.
Mr. FEW, the solicitor of the company, then read the
heads of the provisional agreement to lease the Stour
Valley line. In the heads of the agreement it appeared
that the Eastern Union Company proposed to lease the
Stour Valley line for 999 years, and to pay a rent equal
to five per cent on the cost of the Stour Valley line up
to 83,0001., and three per cent. on the residue expense
of establishing the Stour Valley Company, Parlia-
mentary contests to be included.
The CHAIRMAN then proposed a resolution to the
effect that the modified provisional agreement should
de adopted by the meeting.
Some considerable discussion took place, in the course
of which . .

Mr. _
LECHMERE asked the Chairman whether any
treaty was in existence between this company and the
Eastern Counties.

The CHAIRMAN said that no treaty was in existence
between the Eastern Union Railway Company and the
Eastern Counties Company.
Mr. LECHMERE was most happy to bear it.
The CHAIRMAN—And so am L

After some further discussion,
Mr. LECHMERE moved, as an amendment, that the
question of adopting the modified provisional agreement
should be adjourned until this day six months.
The CHAIRMAN said that the line was in a great state
of forwardness, and he had no doubt the line would be
opened to Norwich in the course of next summer. The
line would be opened to Diss in a very short time.
Some considerable discussion then took place upon the
original resolution and the amendments, after which
The CHAIRMAN, amid some confusion, put the amend-
ment to the meeting, and declared it to be lost upon the
show of hands.

Mr. LECHMERE then demanded a poll, but ultimately
after a most irregular discussion, withdrew it.
_.

Another amendment was then moved for an adjourn-
ment for a fortnight, but that was also lost.
The original motion was then put, and declared to be
carried.

Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the
meeting separated at five o'clock.

OPENING OF THE CREWE LINE OF THE

NORTH-STAFFORDSHIRE.

The Crewe Branch of the North-Staffordshire Railway
was yesterday opened for the conveyance of passengers.
The new line is thirty miles in length, and commences
at Stoke-upon-Trent, running through Stanley, near to
Newcastle, to Burslera, and Conglet3n. A very fine
station has been erected at Stoke, which will be the chief
station on the North-Staffordshire lines. This station
is a very elegant building in the style of the period of
James 11. It looks more like a baronial residence than
a railway station. There is a large hotel attached to
it, and the whole forms a very imposing quadrangle.
At this station all the offices of the company will be
fixed, and the future meetings of the shareholders will
be held there. The cost of the station, with the hotel
approaches, &c., will, when wholly completed, be 43,000/.
Under the colonnade in front of the booking-offices
the flooring has been laid with encaustic tiles of very
beautiful design. Mr. H. A. Hunt is the architect.
The line from Stoke to Burton, upon-Trent was
opened for traffic about a month ago, and the part opened
yesterday is about fifteen miles in extent. A new
route has therefore been opened from the midland
counties to Liverpool and the manufacturing districts of
Lancashire.

The line, with the exception of the Harecastle tunnel,
and two small tunnels, has been of easy construction.
The Harecastle tunnel is upwards of a mile in extent.
Mr. Ricardo, M.P., the chairman of the company,
together with the directors and their friends, passed
over the line, and were met by the authorities of Con-
gleton at the station, and by them were conducted to
the Town- hall, where a banquet had been prepared for
them.
At the conclusion of the feast, which was presided
over by J. Waddington, Esq., the Mayor of Congl,ton,
the 'usual loyal toasts were given, and heartily responded
to. On the toast of " The Queen " being given, the
company sang the national anthem.
The MAYOR, in very complimentary terms, proposed
the toast of " Success to the Nurth Staffordshire Rail-
way Company, and health, long life, and happiness to
Joha Lewis Ricardo, Esq., M.P., its chairman." The
toast was received, with three times three, and one cheer
more.

Mr. RICARDO, M.P., on rising to respond to the toast,
was received with loud cheering. After some few pre-
fatory observations, he said that the North Staffordshire
Railway Company had bad many difficulties to encoun-
ter, difficulties at the commencement, difficulties during
their operations, and difficulties now. First, from the
opposition with which they had been met ; and secondly,
from the monetary crisis which had happened, which was
scarcely over before it was followed by those events on
the continent which he was sure no man in the country
could fail to deplore, while he felt grateful to Providence
that he had been born in a country where property and
life were secure.—(Cheers.) He might be permitted
to say that they were suffering from those events
new. He had heard a great deal said about this coun-
try being dependent on the home trade ; but he would
say, speaking to commercial men—men who understood
what trade and commerce were—that the home trade
was dependent upon the foreign trade; that this country
at this moment was suffering from the adversity of
our neighbours, and would continue to suffer until our
neighbours were more prosperous. Let us not then in-
dulge in jealousy of our neighbours, as we might de-
pend upon it that their prosperity was our prosperity,
and that their adversity was oar adversity.--(Cheers.)
He did not mean to say that this was felt as much in
railways as in other things ; but after all, railways were
merely part of the machinery which we manufactured in
this country. The cost of production was not to be cal-
culated on the price of the commodity when it was in
the factory, but it was to be calculated at the price in
the market to which it was to be sent; and if they could
bring those commodities which they manufactured
to the market cheaply, then they had an advantage
over their competitors, and that advantage the North
Staffordshire Railway Company had in a great mea-
sure endeavoured to secure fur them. When he saw
the chimneys of the factories smoking, when he know
the working people were employed, when he knew the
farmers were flourishing, and that agricultural produce
was in demand, he should not want to go to his secre-
tary, Mr. Sammie, and ask him what the receipts of the
North Staffordshire Railway were. He would not ask
him if the railway was prosperous or not. He thought
the jealousy of one railway company with respect to
another was absurd altogether. He did not want the
North Staffordshire Company to flourish at the expense
of any other company; but he would say this, that if the
North Staffordshire Railway did flourish, he was sure
that those around it would flourish also, and that the
trade would be distributed among them. The worthy
mayor had coupled his name with that of the North Staf-
fordshire Company, and he (Mr. Ricardo) could only
say that be Iliad undertaken this great enterprise not
with any view to personal profit or advancement, but
simply with a view to benefit his constituents and the
country at large.—(Cheers.) If he had succeeded, the
only reward he would ever require was to see the North
Staffordshire Railway prosperous.—(The Hon. Gentle-
man resumed his seat amidst loud applause.)
Captain ANTROBII£4, in a humorous speech, proposed
the toast of " Tne Directors," which was responded to
by Mr. Broderick.

The healths of the Mayor and other gentlemen locally
connected with the railway were then proposed and duly
responded to.

kr. Samuda, the secretary, Mr. Bidder, the engineer,
and the contractors were proposed.
In the course of the reply to the toast, Mr. Pearson
and other gentlemen referred to the uniform good con-
duct of the railway labourers ever since they had been
employed on the works. Such was their praiseworthy
behaviour, that when there was a prospect of the town
and peace being disturbed by Chartist agitators, they
immediately came forward in a body and requested to
be enrolled as special constables, a proceeding which had
no doubt tended very much to the maintenance of the
peace of the locality. This announcement was received
with loud cheers.

At five o'clock the corporation of Congleton accom-
panied the directors of the railway in a epeeist train
to Stoke, and returned to Congleton late in the evening.
The banquet at Congleton was served by Mr. Stocker,
of the Lion.

THE LATE MR. STEPHENSON.—The following is an
extract from the minutes of the Liverpool Board of the
London and North-Western Railway, under date 6th
September, 1848:—" The public papers having an-
nounced the lamented death of Mr. George Stephenson,
on Saturday, the 12th ult., Resolved unanimously—That
the directors embrace this first opportunity of recording
the strong sentiments which they entertain, of admiration
for the talents and esteem for the character of the man
whose death they cannot but regard as a notional loss.
The directors, on the present occasion, look back with
peculiar interest to their first connexion with Mr. Ste-
phenson, iu the construction of the Liverpool and Man-
chester Railway; to a period now twenty years past,
when he Tinted their new line over Chat Moss, or cut his
way through the rock cutting at Olive Mount. Tracing
the progress of railways from that first beginning to the
present time, they find Mr. Stephenson foremost in
urging forward the great railway movement, earning and
maintaining his title to be considered, before any other
man, the author of that universal system of locomotion
which has effected such mighty results, commercial,
social, and political, throughout the civilized world.
Two years ago the directors entrusted to Mr. Gibson, of
Rome, the duty and privilege of producing a statue
that might do honour to their friend, then living
amongst them. They did not anticipate that on the
completion of this work of art the great original would
be no more—that they should be constrained to accept
the marble effigy of the engineer in lieu of the living
presence of the man.—Resolved: that a copy of this
resolution be transmitted to Mr. Robert Stephenson,
with an expression of the directors' earnest sympathy
under the irreparable loss which he has experienced."--•
Liverpeol Journal.
ACCIDENTS ON RAILWAYS DURING 1847.—From the,
First Annual Report of the Commissioners of Railways,
just published, it appears that there is a great reduction
in the number of railway accidents for 1847, notwith-
standing the great increase in the number of passengers
conveyed. At the beginning of the first six months of
1847 there were 3,036 miles of railway opened in the
United Kingdom; at the beginning 'of the latter six
months of that period there were 3,496 miles open; and
at the end of the latter period, passengers were carried
on 3,816 miles of railway. It appears from the returns
that the number of passengers conveyed in the former
period was 23,119,412, in the latter 31,734,607, being
an increase of passengers of 37 per cent. Yet
the number of passengers killed and injured
by causes beyond their own control was less by
29 per cent. in the latter than in the former
period, and the whole number of accidents to passengers,
servants of companies, trespassers, and others, was less
by 7 per cent. The whole number: of accidents
during this period, attended with injury to the public,
was 330. The number of accidents from carriages
leaving the line, during 1847, was 5, and from en-
gines running off 15. Accidents from axles breaking
were 11, and from tires of wheels 6. During the same
year there were 37 accidents from collisions; and the
Commissioners are strongly of opinion, from investiga-
tion. that these arise from the fact of large trains go'
nerally not being accompanied by a sufficient number of
guards to work the breaks, and they consider that the
most effectual method of ensuring attention to this sub'
ject is a public statement of this their opinion.
SHREWSBURY AND CHESTER OPENING.—The opening
of this important line, which is 60 miles in length, takes
place on Thursday next.—Liverpool
BRIGHTON RAILWAY.—There is a rumour in town,
but on what foundation it rests we are unable to say,
that Mr. Laing, the chairman, is to have 8001. per an'
num out of the 1,600/ allowed to the directors, 10
chairman and manager, and the other eight directors
Mt. year each.—Herapath's Railway Journal.
IRISH RAILWAY S.—A correspondent, in a private let-
ter, writes to us :—" You will be amused to hear that
in Ireland, where they widened their gauge (at General
Pasley's recommendation) for the very purpose of giving
more room for the cylinders, &c., between the wheels,
they are using several outside cylinder engines. They
have in that country, by widening the gauge, got into
the expensive forms of carriage and engine of the Great
Western, and with a beggarly traffic. Their trains
weigh, exclusive of the engine, forty or fifty tons, sad
their engines, which burn a full allowance of coke,
weigh twenty tons, or, with the tender, twenty-eights
making the gross weight of a train eighty tons, whore
forty should suffice. Now this forty toes of extra car'
rying stock will be worth something like 90/. per ton, or
3,6001. per train, which requires continual repair 5I
renewal ; besides the interest upon it, 20 per cent., in;
not be too much for this-20 per cent. on 3,600/.-72014
or 21. per day. Say you get forty miles of running
throughout the year on each train of carriages with the
engine, here is a charge of one shilling per mile Per
train imposed by this uncalled for widening of the Irish
gauge, in carrying stock only."—Herapath's Railthal
Journal.

TOURNAY AND JURBISE.—The opening of the entill
line is fixed :or the 15th of the present month.

My first suit of clothes, I remember them still,
And the price that they cost, for I've still gat the bill.

At the time I refer to, had .only begun.
And being but young, as of course you'll suppose,
My.p trents obtained me my find suit of clothes.

Idy. mother, one day, with a smile that bewitched,
• • Said she thought it high time for the boy to be breechel.
If so, said my father, the job shall be done
• And, mark you, we'll go to E. 310 iES and' SON.

- _ Late RS-Start off at once for the first suit of clothes.- -
; So away a ali jogied; near ice 'Atda•ate chumhgate,
.1.! 'And perceived two large houses,
I•svish, said my father, on entering these,
To look at ypur juvenile dress, if you Please. ' ' •
And the very first glanco, as you'll doubtless supposes,
Made him bargain at once for my first suit of clothes.

I scarcely need say 'twas a capital one ;
And a suit that did credit to MOSES and SON.
Such, indeed, was the'case, though the price that was paid,
Was quite a new thinz in the tailoring trade.

That they've not bean remiss. in my last suit of clothes.

m One half the wend are desolately single, and the other

sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes era-

of caution and. worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-

and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-

TO. TRH LADLZS.
;This lady had the following letter in oerted in the "Times" news_
paper on Aug. 7, 1546. Reader, renaerrrber, this letter was put into
the paper by the lady herself, as a testi, may to me.
" Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. SwariLstrett, Borough, takes this oppor-
tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Gritiastoae, of the Herbary, High-
gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com-
pletely restored the hair on her head, of te r using it about four mouths,
and the whole of her hair is vouch strop gear and more luxuriant than
lever was befwe the baldness appeared-

man at all.—Did you speak to him, or he 'to you ?
Never.—Did.you reply that he was a right fellow, but
that the other two were d—d Papist? I did not.-Did
you, ultimately go with this person into a house to have
some reTreshrn,-nt? I did not.—Did you request him to
join a club? I did not.—Did he say he would be ex-
pelled from college if he joined any club? I never heard
any such thing at all.—Did you say he ought to know
what you meant, and ask him if he would not prefer a
Government situation to college? No, I never said it.—
Did you say he might easily obtain one if he liked,
and that he could easily join you in getting up infor-
mation, and giving it to Governmen ? On my oath
I never used such language, or anything like it, in
my life.—Did you meet by accident the same per.
son Dalton in the street about three weeks after-
wards ? No.—Did you say .you had been arranging
el
wpnri?estsNwevereer,
exterminated

tiot h
him,
i Cm o, o

the
and Popery :put down, things would never be right
in Ireland ? Never.—Did he allude to Mr. O'Brien,
and say he was more criminal than the Papists? Never.
—Did you say it was lawful for a Papist to commit per-
jury against a Protestant, and that you thought it would
be fair for a Protestant •to commit perjury against a
Papist? Never.—Did he call you a rascal, and tell you
to quit the room? No.—Did you immediately change
your tone of voice and manner, and say you were only
trying him; and did you then ask him if he did not know
you were humbugging him? No.—You deny it all? I
do; it never occurred. -
A young man named Henry Dalton was then sworn,
and examined by Mr. WHITESIDE, an-I gave the follow-
ing testimony:—l travelled by an express train from
Dublin to this town, and have only just arrived in Clow
rnel. I left Dublin at three o'clock this morning.. My
father held a situation in the Cashel Cathedral; my own
business is that of a teacher of. Trinity College. I was
at one time a- teacher at the Rev. -Mr. Iluddart's school
at Dublin; I was also a teacher at Dungannon College,
under Dr. Darby; I have also taught in this, county; I
was resident tutor in the house of _Mr...,Pepilefather, of
Marlow (one of the jUrors), in this County.
Mr. WHITES/DE—Do you remember being in a tavern
at the corner of Stephen-street, about the middle of
June last ? , I do.—Did any discussion arise in your
presence between three persons? Yes.
The witness was then confronted with Dobbin, and
desired by. Mr. Whiteside to say whether he was one
of the three persons he had seen the tavern. Witness—
Ile was
.ppon my solemn oath.—Tell the jury what
passed between those three persons before you took part
in the conversation. Witness—Two of the three were
advocating a repeal of the union, and the substance of
their remarks was, that repeal could never be obtained
except by the means advocated by the late Mr. O'Con-
nell—moral force. Dubbin said that he was a Protes-
tant and an Orangeman of the north, and that the inde-
pendence of Ireland could never bo obtained except by
force of arms. He said that the time had now arrived!
when a repeal of the union, perhaps, would be obtained,
and that a Republican: Government and the principles
of John Mitchel would benefit Ireland. He mentioned
the name of Smith O'Brien, and said his policy was too
tame. I had not taken part in the conversation
then ; but that man asked me what was my opinion ?
I said it was nay opinion that agitation was the bane of
Ireland, and I attributed my present suffering altogether
to it. I said that I was averse to the repeal of the union,
and that I signed the petition against repeal as a student
of Trinity College. Mr. Whiteside—Did Dobbin do any-
oing? I noticed him distort his face; he made some

distortions of his face. I left, and was going home, when
he followed me and said that the men wished me to have
supper with them. I said it was too late, and :I must
go home. He said that I must come. I did go. Mr.
Whiteside —Did he, after that night say anything to you
about joining a club ? Witness—He asked had I joined
3 club, or would I ? I told him I would not join any
club, as a notice had been posted upon the college walls
that any student would be expelled who joined a club,
and I intended going in for scholarship the following
year. I told him I vibuld lose all my collegiate prospects.
lie said that a' though I might lose my prospects there,
I might not elsewhere; and he told me that Government
might appoint me as the head of soiree colonial college,
as I was fit for it.—(Dobbin here smiled). Mr. White-
ide—Did you separate shortly afterwards ? Witness—
We remained till one o'clock.

" Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to7the virtues of Mr. G.'s
Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase
an lls. bottle if they were as certain of it :s virtues as she is, from ex-
perience, not only in the restoration and' production of hair in abund-
ance, but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume iti far
beyond any to her taste. She will feel r; pleasure in answering any
'ady of respectability to the above fact:. —3, Swan-street, Berough."
In eases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afe w
dreips on the crown of the head occasi on ally. every week, will pre-
vent the hair from coming away with t he comb, mate it strong, and
prevent it turning grey, rendering the be it luxuriant and curly. A
few drops en year hairbrush before rt iing the hair, will give the
hair brilliancy, causing it to curl.
The most delicate ladies maT nse deli:htfnl product of the
most aromatic herbs and 'flowers with. confidence ; its refreshing
odour removes headache and makes it at most necc..orr companion
t'o the toilet. In cases of nevous headael e, pour ten or twelve drops
OR the grown et the head; if very bad; rielpeat it every quarter of an
hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It, produces
hair on children's heads in a few appplier diens. If sued on infants'
heads, it has such a peculiar cooling intae nee on the brain as to pre-
vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of 'hair.—See
pamphlet of testimonials.

Examination resumed—How long was it before you
aw him again? Three or four weeks, at the corner of
Trinity-street. He tapped me upon the shoulder, and
asked me to take a glass of punch with him, and we
went into a house-for refreshment. I paid for it. Wit-
ness here said that he was subject to a nervous palpita-
tion of the heart. Mr. Whiteside—Have you ever
spoken to Mr. O'Brien or his attorney?—No. What
passed upon the occasion to which you referred?—
Dobbin asked was Dens' Theology read in college. And
I said it was not to my knowledge. He said that by
Dens a Roman Catholic was qualified to swear and get
absolution from a priest for any information false or

?called him a rascal and a blackguard, and' told him to
leave the place.: Ile then' went oat and cattle in
and smiting, said he via% surprised that a man of my
learning could not perdeiVir that he was hutn-bugging: ,
Mr. Whiteside—When did you read Dobbin's evidence
in the paper? Witness—On Thursday. I should have
said that I mentioned these circumstances at the time

they occurred to others, and on reading the paper,,l said
lo them, " Oh! do you remember what I told you about
Dobbin?"

Cross-examined by the ATTORNEY.GENERAL—Yousay
you gave your address to Dobbin by the light of the
lamp? Yes.—Where do you reside now? In 27,
Bishop-street.—Attorney-General—How long have you
lived there? About three years; the person's name is
Mr. Desmond, and he was in the dealing line, selling
provisions.—Where did you reside the remainder of the
three years? In different places; I was in 41, Digges-
street; sometimes I filled situations, and sometimes
Changed my lodgings. I have been •in England:—
Where? In Liverpool, looking for a situation; which
I may say I.got, but lost it afterwards. I engaged with
a gentleman named Dove, whose residence was called
Makinpeace Hall. On going over; however, he wrote to
me in Liverpool to ask if I were an Irishmon; I said I
was, and a freeman of the city of Dublin; and, his reply
Was, that an Irishman would not suit.—(A laugh.)—How
did you live in Liverpool? I bad two or three pounds
with me when I arrived, and earned three or four by setting
up a night-school.—Where? In Liverpool.—What name
did you pass by in Liverpool? Mr. Dalton, of course,—
Attorney-General—There is no mistake about that? Wit-.
ness—Not the slightest. Since-my return PreSided with
M‘Dermott, except,. as a matter of fact, I lived with a
Woman named Kelly, opposite Peter's-row, for a few
weeks or so; it was a private house. I paid M'Dermott
3s. 6d. a week • I don't teach a school there, but I teach
pupils there; ;hey don't come to me, for the place is too
humble for that, but I go to them; that, however, makes
no great difference, for I think as much of myself as ray
examiner, when in college.
ATTORNEY-GENERAL--Of course you do. You said
you had the conversation with Dobbin in June. What
was the date?—l don't register dates of modern events.
You were at O'Neill's, you say, for four or five hours
before the other men came in. Were you 'reading the
paper all that.time?—l was; I was reading the history`
'of the French revolution. • •
When dicl that revolution take place? When.l said
the French revolution, it was not altogether the case, it
Was the late attempt-lifter a republican form of govern-
Ment, when ,Lamartine was put out. I know it was about
the middle of June, by the review in the park.
Who paid for the supper?—l did not. I cannot
tell. The bill, I suppose, was paid by the other three.
How did you • know.'" Dobbin's name ?—IIe told
it'to me •going home. When the man- spoke to you
about Trinity College, what did you,say 7 I said I was
a divinity student.—Did you gradaate? I did. not. I
have taken my name off the books. Well, I cannot say
I took it off—it was struck off about May last, because I
could not pay 11. 10s. for myletea. .Did you not come in
to. see Dobbin when .he was being examined just now?
No! I was told I was wanted, and I came in; but.on
my oath, not to see Dobbin or any other persons.-Was
he pointed out to yon?. He was not.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, addressing -Dobbin—Do
you kpow this gentleman? The two witnesses, stood on
the table, confrOnting each other... Dobbin—On my
oath I never saw him.—This statement produced an ex-
traordinary-Sensation in the Court.
A juror to Dalton—Did you give this evidence to any
one before you came to this town?. -I did; I mentioned
it to some friends.. I told them that I ;was almost con-
'vinced that Phis Dobbin was the same person I had met
in the public-house. I" Swear that I never expected to
be brought here. I• wrote a letter,• stating these facts; -
which I sent to the Freeman's Journal office, upon hear-

Dobbin was then examined by one of the jury. Ho
said that he was not a member of the council of 21.
That he went to the meeting in the capacity of a re re •
tentative of a club. He was a representative of a club,
and' as such formed part of the council.

of high treason as could be committed. His Lordship

this harbour.. They lauded from the royal barge at
twenty minutes past three at the Clarerce-yard,
where the royal progress was delayed some time in
consequent of a distressing occurrence narrated else-
where. lier Majesty was received at the Clarence-
yard by Admiral 'Sir Bladen Capri, K.C.8., the
Commander in-Chief; Rear-Admiral PreFcatf C.B.
Major-General Lord Frederick Fiteclareece,
and staff; Captain Superintendent Sir W. E. Parry,
and the officers of the Clarence-yard; the usual staff

manager of the South-Western Railway, v.-as set in
motion at three minutes to four o'clock Chntery.
The:usual ceremonies, .were obeervc-d, elthotigh the
weather was awful. .
.The Grampus; . Cap'elin B.. Martin, arrived
at Spithead this morning, from tutuNVith a
freight, on niereharits' ;;,Cceitnt, .of . upwards of
2,600,000 dollars. She left *Valparaiso on the' 28th
of June, arrived at Rio on the. lgth of August,. and
sailed on.tlie.2lst, made the Westerri Islands on Sun-
day week last, and left Fayal on Monday.morning.
At Rio, when she left, were the Grecian, Alecto,
Crescent, and Kestrel. A French corvette arrived at
Rio on the 20,1 from Q.:Tee, with troops for I.3,)urbon
very sickly.; the United States frigate .Brandy wine
arrived on the 18th from Pernambuco, and the Pen-
.guin:packet ihe same day from England.: The Gre-
cian:sailed from Monte: Vide6 for Rio on the 12.tb,
,and arrived an Abe .191 of August, brAiging Lieu-
tenant Hunt, of the lneonstfint, and Lieutenant
MiKillop, of the Hydra, for passage to England in
the Grampus, and the melancholy news of one of her
(Grecian's) boats, containing a midshipman (Mr.
.Gambier). and four seamen, -and a mail trom Monte
Monte Video, having been lost in sight of the brig,
on the 12th of August • all hands perished. Com-
mander Tatham, of the 'Raleigh, had not been made
acting-. captain of. that ship, nor had Sir. Thomas
Herbert made. any promotions or appointments con-
sequent upon the 'nvaliding of Captain Fremantle,
and we are, ,informed. Sir Thomas had expressed his
intention not to fill up the appointment, The Gram-
pus is reported to be a fast sailer on all points, and an
excellent sea-boat. She will, it is expected, be
ordered round to the eastward to pay off; but she
must come into Portsmouth harbour to land her valu-
able 'freight. The Urgent steam packet arrived from
Liverpool this morning, and she has come into harbour
to pay off.
The Rifleman steam•vesel, Lieutenant Comnianhr
Crofson, arrived this morn,ng.from Cork, and cattle
into harbour.
The Urgent steam mail-packet, Lieutenant Com-
mander A. S. Symes, arrived to day from Liverpool.

not signify. The fact you are to look at is this—that an
armed body arrayed in great multitudes made an
attaak ,on the forces of the Queen, compelled them
to take refuge in a house, and then in their own
defence, and in defence of the property of the Queen,
to fire shots, by which human life was sacrificed.
With respect to the words " Slash away, boys, and
slaughter them all," said to have been used by him, I
thick it right to state, I believe those words were not
uttered by him but by some body else. But that do:s
not make any difference as to the criminality of the
language. They were all one party, engaged in one il-
legal act, and the command given by one of tkat party is
as much the act of the other as if it had been pronounced
by his tongue. And it is further highly immaterial to
consider whether the people fired with or without that
command. They were all there for an illegal purpose,
and every one of the party was responsible for the acts
of the other. The Learned Judge having noticed the
evidence of Carroll, and of another witness, Cox, conti-
nued thus :—And now, gentlemen, I have laid before
you the entire of the evidence with respect to this unfor-
tunate transaction. In the first place, general eaidence,
with respect to the attachment to the Crown and as to
the constitutional principles of Mr. O'Brien was ad-
duced, and on this general evidence there can be no
manner of, doubt. It appears to me that early in March
last Mr. O'Brien had undergone, unfortunately some
change in his political views, and that then ideas sug-
gested themselves to his Mind which he had not enter-
tained before; but whatever may be the value of the
testimony to his :character, God forbid that I
should deprive him of it. The other evidence on
his part, which I have read carefully through,
relates to the rules of the Confederation and of
the Irish League. Those rules appear to me t:
be perfectly legal. I cannot discover anything in then
to attach.to the. Confederation the idea of criminality or
suspicion, or anything, in short, if strictly observed, re-
pugnant to any principle of the law, or open- to any alle-
gation. With respect to the rules of the League, which
was formed, as it appears, of the members of the two
bodies—the Confederation and Conciliation-Lill—they
are obnOxious to no observation whatever. But the
question is, whether those rules were observed by him,
or whether a course of conduct at variance with them
was adopted by him when a member of those bodies, and
professing to act in accordance with their rules. In the
speech of the 19th of July-*La remarkable speech on a
remarkable occasion—Mr. O'Brien distinctly preserves
to himself the right, uncontrolled by any engagement
with respect to those bodies, to pursue his course through
the medium of the clubs to the object he then contem-
plated. And now, gentlemen, I commit this case to your
serious consideration. A high duty you have to dis-
charge—a ntost laborious duty it certainly is—a painful
duty it must be, if you should take an unfavourable view
of the evidence before you. I shall rejoice if seriously,
soberly, and conscientiously, you can come to the con-
clusion that the prisoner is not guilty of the charges el-
leged against him by the Crown; but if, on the other
hand, seriously, soberly, and conscientiously you think
him guilty of these charges, there is no consideration
that can justify any human being in that box in doing
otherwise than that which the obligation of his oath de
mends.

Before the retirement of the jury, several questions
were asked by the jury, to which the CHIEF JIIBTICE
replied in effect—According to Mr. O'Brien's defence,
the object he had in view was his personal security.
If that were his object, and his only object, there is no
reason to say that he might not have made his escape.
But he never attempted to escape. If the sole exchtiive
object of Mr. O'Brien were to escape arrest—if there
were no general purpose involving that particu'ar pur-
pose of his mind, then, no matter whit acts he might have
committed, you are bound to aequit him of high tri-aion;
but if, on the contrary, you think he had, in addition to
his personal object, a general purpose, such as effecting
a revolution, a repeal of the union, or any other general
object of a political character, and that his acts were
committed in furtherance of that object, you must find
him guilty of high treason.
A Juror—l wish to know if the attack of Mr.
O'Brien on the police were made to resist arrest, and
that he did not wish to' escape, would that be high
treason. - -

The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE —The resistance to the
police, by force or violence, no matter how great, if car-
ried out in furtherance of the only object, personal
security, would not be high treason, but it fox' the pur-
pose of effecting the general object laid in the indict-
ment, it would be high treason.

A juror —The principal expression all through the
evidence, as used by Mr. O'Brien, is " protect me—pro-
tect me from arrest."

NAVAL iiiTaLrGENCE.

The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—If you bAieve that to
have been his sole object you must acquit him, as I told
you before.

The Judges having been absent a quarter of an hour, re•
turned, and at the same time the jury made their appear-
ance in the box. The most profound silence prevailed.

ask a question—Were they to find separately on each
count, or were they to return a verdict on all five ?
' The LORD CHIEF JUR TIC E may return a gt-
neral verdict of guilty, or not guilty, on all the fire
counts. The sixth is withdrawn, therefore upon it you•
will return a verdict of not guilty.
' The jury withdrew to their room.
About half-•past five o'clock the. Judges again returned
to the court, and took their seats on the bench, when
the jury entered, and the Clerk of the Crown called
over the roll, each man answering to his name.
Clerk of the Crown—How say you, gentlemen of
thq,jury. on the first count, guilty, or not guilty ?
.The Foreman—Guilty.
The word caused a perceptible sensation in every
orner of the court. Mr. O'Brien slightly nodded his
ead to the jury.
The same general verdict was returned on the other
counts, except the sixth, which had been withdrawn.
The Foreman said, in tones which were nearly inau-
dible, •' My Lord, there is a recommendation from the
jury. I really cannot read it, my Lord. Mr. Peddyr,
can't you read the rest?"
The Clerk of the Crown then read from the paper
what follows:—" We earnestly recommend the prisoner
to the merciful consideration of the Government, the
jury being unanimously of opinion that, for many rea-
sons, his life should be spared. For self and fellows,
Richard M. S. Maaseragh, Foreman."
The Clerk of the Crown then resumed his seat, and
for about five minutes an unbroken silence prevailed,
the eyes of all being fixed on the calm, self-possessed
countenance of the prisoner. At length,
Mr. Justice BLALCKBURNE said, in a low voice, " Ad-
journ the court until ten o'clock on Monday morning."
The prison van which contained Mr. O'Brien was
guarded by a strong body of police, but there did not
seem much necessity for their attendance. About sixty
poor persons were assembled round the court, half of
whom were women, and bet few of those assembled fol-
lowed the van to the gaol. The greatest silence pre-
vailed in the streets. The town and neighbourhood are
quiet.

Yesterday her Majesty's . frigate Daelalus, 20,
Captain M'Quhae, was inspected- by Port-Admiral
Sir William Hall Gage-in the- Sound. In the after-
noon she scaled her guns, after which she was towed
by the Ilerme3 into Hamoaze, preparatory to her
being paid off.
Her Majesty's ship Impregnable, 104, was towed
from her moorings to the sheer hulk yesterday, pre-
paratory to her being put in commission for the flag,
in place of her Majesty's ship San Josef, ordered to
be broken up. The San (foul has neither been in
dock nor outside Hamoaze for the last twenty years.
Lord Auckland's Board of Admiralty have ordered
the Sanspareil, 84, in frame in slip No. 5, to be cut
down to a 42-gun frigate ; they consider she has a
heavy appearance. She was, laid down by order of
Sir George Cockburn's board, on the model of the
much-extolled Sanspareil, taken in the French war.
Thirty-one .smiths are to be superannuated from

Rear-Admiral Sir C. Napier, during his late visit to
Devonport, minutely inspected the new steam-works

Thew Cyclops, steam-frigate, Captain the Hon. G.
F. Hastings, arrived at Plymouth Sound on Sunday
morning, and went into harbour, alongside the coal
depot. She is to be supplied with two whale boats
previously to proceeding to the coast of Africa.
The Rifleman, screw•steamer, Lieutenant. Com-
mander Crofton, arrived at Devonport on Sunday
morning from Ireland. She lay to in the Sound
some hours, but did not anchor, and finally sailed for
Spithead.

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT IN THE

The Teaz?r, steam screw-vessel, is ordered to be
armed with one 32-pounder gun of 56 cwt., and two
18. pounder carronades. She was tried town the river
yesterday, under the charge of Mr. Gcsman; master
of the Pisgard, and was found to answer well, her
speed being nearly eight knots per hour, with only
half the power she formerly had ; two 25-horse power
engines, by Penn, having been substituted for her
former engines, two of 50 horse power each.

PRESt-NCE OF lIER .MAJtSTY.

trophe, whiCh caused her Majesty and. the. Court very

sea running very high at the time. How long they re-
mained in the water is at presentrunknOwa; but 'their
situation was first diseovere.d as the Gipsy; cutter, be-
