CHRISTMAS CAROLS.--Christrnas carols are
still sung in Ireland. In Scotland, where no Church feasts
have been kept since the days of John Knox, the custom
is unknown. In Wales it is still preserved to a greater
extent than in England. At the former period the
Welsh had carols adapted to most of the ecclesiastical
festivals, and the four seasons of the year ; but at this
time they are limited to Christmas. After the turn of
midnight, on Christmas-eve, service is performed in the
churches by the singing of carols to the harp. While
the Christmas holidays continue, they are sung in like
manner in the houses.

gravers.

It contains an entirely new selection from the ample range of

give a distinct idea of the excellence of each poet, combined
with the most scrupulous attention to admit nothing that might
in the slightest degree unfit it for universal perusal.
*** On Dec. 26, there will be published a Companion
Volume, containing THE MODERN POETS (of the
Nineteenth Century), with the same number of Embellish-
ments, on precisely the same plan.

SUMMARY OF NEWS

AND
public eptittoit.

" Who runs may read."

FOREIGN.
The French Journals of Tuesday, contrary to our ex-
pectation, for the most part approve of the reduction of
the French army.
The Moniteur of Tuesday publishes a Royal Ordinance
for the better organization of the auxiliary native troops
of French Africa. That force now consists of 6,500 men,
4,000 of whom are cavalry. This force is to be increased
to 9,352, under the general name of Spahis. The native
costume is to be worn by the men, but the European
uniform by all the officers of this corps.
The last accounts from Bayonne, says the Moniteur
Purisien, state that the state of siege has been raised in
the Basque provinces, that the military commissions have
been dissolved, the collection of the rest of the war fine
is interdicted, and the sequestrations taken off.
His Excellency Lord Burghersh, British Ambassador
at the Court of Berlin, had his first audience of the King
of Prussia on the Bth inst., and delivered his credentials.

Advices from Hanover state that a seizure of a collec-
tion of political songs, termed Songs of a Cosmopolite,
have just been made in the capital by order of Govern-
ment. The town of Hamden having elected M. Chris-
tiani, an opposition member of the Second Chamber, Go-
vernment has withdrawn the garrison, by whom a good
deal of money was spent there.
A new theatre, fitted up in the style of the Renais-
sance, has just been opened at Dresden. 'On this occa-
sion the plan of attaching a saloon to the theatre for the
company to walk in between the acts, and which is new
to Germany, has been adopted. A splendid new theatre,
with a saloon, and with a cafe and restaurant a la Fran-
caise, has been also opened at Breslau, the' capital of
Silesia.

At Semarang, the second town in the Island of Java,
there exists a species of matrimonial lottery, which
giies rise to many singular speculations. Or-
phan children, rich as well as poor, are all
brought up in a public establishment. The most
profound silence as to the fortunes of these children is
enjoined to every person employed in or about the insti-
tution. These fortunes are placed under the management
of persons at Batavia, on whom a similar injunction of
secresy is imposed. The female orphans are kept in the
establishment until their marriage. Every man possess-
ing an annual income of 730 florins, or two florins a day,
is at liberty to choose a wife from amongst them, but the
amount of her fortune is not made known to him till
several days after the marriage. A servant of the mili-
tary hospital at Samarang lately selected one of these
damsels with a fortune of 65,000 florins. Since his good
luck, the application for wives from the asylum have
become very urgent; for a report has got abroad that
there is a marriageable girl still left, who will bring with
her a prize of 200,000 florins.

2VJCISCEX.X.A.RTEOUS.

A despatch communicated to the Colonial-office by
Governor Gipps, states that Count Strelitzky, a Pole,
had penetrated inland, and found in the interior of Gipps-
land plenty of wood and water. A new township will
be erected there to be called Albert.
Vauxhall Gardens are about to be let off by Mr.
Fowler, in six acres, for building leases, reserving the
other five acres for public gardens. The latter section
comprises the tavern, orchestra, rotunda, &c. The
license has been renewed.

Etiquette in England was carried to so high a pitch in
the time of Queen Elizabeth, that her Secretary, Eil, in
performing the functions of his office in the presence of
his Royal mistress, was always obliged to speak and
write upon his knees.
To-day is the anniversary of the death of Isaac
Walton, who died in 1683, and whose writings, after a
lapse of two centuries, still maintain their popularity.
It is remarkable that the boy Jones and the man Peel
have both been equally successful in forcing their way
twice into Buckingham Palace against the wishes of the
Royal owner.

perhaps it is not generally known that a bullet fired
from a gun or pistol will not pass through a silk hand-
kerchief.

The Cologne Gazette of the 19th instant states, that a
person holding a high situation in the department of the
Exchequer at Munich had disappeared, leaving a deficit
in his accounts to the amount of 100,000 florins.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

MIDLAND CIRCUIT. —NORTHAMPTON, Alaßezi 4.
(Before Lord Ant Nora.)
lIIATRICIDE.--George West, aged 31, was charged, on the
Coroner's inquisition, with the murder of his mother, Martha
West, at the parish of Nether Heyford, in this county.
The history of this case is as follows :—The deceased, who
was in years, was taken suddenly ill in the course of last No
vember, died on the 21st, and was buried on the 26th. She
had previously enjoyed a good state of health, and other per-
sons of the family having fallen ill at the same period of time,
a suspicion began to gain ground that some foul proceeding had
been practised. The body was, therefore, disinterred, ar.d an
examination having taken place, the medical men gave it as
their opinion that the stomach of the deceased contained arse-
nic ; and it was further ascertained that the flour which was in
the house, part of which had been used for making a pudding of
which deceased had partaken, was strongly impregnated with the
same poisonous matter. Inquiries having taken place, suspicion
fell upon a younger son of the deceased, who carried on the
business of a grocer, and was apparently in flourishing circum-
stances. The principal evidence against the prisoner was that
he had arsenic in his house previous to this affair taking place,
that he supplied the flour which had been used on the occa-
sion, and that when a dinner was to take place at deceased's
house,tter to
of which he (the prisoner) was to be a partaker, he ob-
served
his
i
"It would be better not to make the puddings of that
poor mother was so set against, but that it would be
take it home and give it to the pigs, for if they should
use it, and be afterwards taken bad, he should never forgive
himself." There were other circumstances of - a minor cha-
racterabnud he
t the case was by no means brought home to the pri-
soner,was Acquitted.

HATTON-GARDENt

William Collins, an elderly respectable-looking man,
was charged with being drunk and disorderly.
A policeman said he dragged the defendant out of
the gutter, and with the utmost difficulty removed him
to the station-house. He was insensibly drunk and
asleep. There was a considerable sum of money in his
pockets, and also a watch.
Mr. COOMBE asked him what he had to say ?—De-
fendant. Only this—that the constable behaved like
a gentleman ; he prevented me from being robbed and
locked me up. I have been very comfortablo, and have
been very much obliged to him. It was loyalty—
loyalty, Sir, as well as wine with which I was intoxica-
ted. " Hurrah, for the Queen, Sir--God bless her."
Mr. COOMBE—You cannot possibly object, then, to
pay a fine to her of five shillings.
Defendant—Oh, certainly not ; I love her—yes I
love her. There's the money (handing over a sove-
reign). Having received his change he wished the Ma-
gistrate good morning, and led the officer away to make
him some compensation.
STARVATION.—Two poor fellows were charged with
vagrancy. A policeman said he saw them beg in High-
street, Bloomsbury. They had previously asked him to
take them into custody as they wore starving, but lie of
course could not accede to their request until he had wit-
nessed the act of vagrancy.
The defendants said they were sailors from Liver-
pool and were looking out for work. They had not
had a bed to lie on or anything to cat for several days.
Mr. COMBE asked them why they had not applied to
a parish ?
They said they had, but the doors were closed against
them. They had also been to the Mendicity Society,
and there too they were unsuccessful, because they had
no ticket for relief,
Mr. COMBE observed that he must not allow unfor-
tunate creatures to be buffetted about in that manner,
and ordered the officer to take them to St. Giles's
workhouse. It was evident to him that the prisoners
could no longer bear up against privation.
The poor fellows were very grateful.
A man named Jones, was charged with begging.

From the evidence of a police-constable it appeared
that the prisoner was an old hand at shamming fits,
and that on Friday afternoon he was simulating the di-
sease with a view to extort compassion.

The MAGISTRATE asked him if he meant to say he
was ill then ?

Prisoner (pulling a long face)—Wery bad, indeed, Sir.
MAGISTRATE—Then why have you not applied to an
hospital ? There is one here in Greville-street, close by.
Prisoner—l have been there, Sir, and they would not
have me.

The worthy Magistrate said he was satisfied he was
uttering a falsehood, as to his certain knowledge the
afflicted were never neglected for a moment at that ex-
cellent institution.
Inquiries were then ordered to be made of the house-
surgeon (Dr. Marsden), and the prisoner's statement
turning out to be a tissue of untruths, he was sent to
the treadmill for a month.

VICTORIA THEATRE.

Wa understand that the friends of the late Mr.
Bradbury, the professor of calligraphy and short-hand,
have taken this theatre, for Friday the 19th inst., for
the benefit of his widow and children. It is known
that Mr. Bradbury was the principal author of that
graceful character of manuscript, combining the perfect
formation of the upright Roman style, with the
facility of the :loped Italian, to which the
great improvement of the current commercial hand
in this country, within the last half century, is al-
together owing. He not only designed this novel and
elegant character, but Le contrived a new system, by
which the ability to write it was expeditiously acquired.
lie inverted also the angular style of writing, which,
being easy of attainment, enabled persons whose edu-
cation had been neglected to write a neat and
legible hand in a very few days. It soon became
extensively popular, and was disseminated by
hundreds of teachers throughout all parts of the empire.
For thirty y ears Mr. Bradbury had a most extensive
and lucrative practice, and he introduced a somewhat
more perfect sty le thamthat of his angular system amongst
the upper class, end numbered some hundreds of ladies
and gentlemen of high rank amongst his pupils. That
style is now the prevailing one amongst educated fe-
metes in this country, and is known both here and
abroad as the " English ladies'" handwriting. For the
last few years of Mr. Bradbury's life he was disabled
from attending to his business by a painful illness, which
exhausted the savings of his industrious life, and he
died lately in great distress, leaving his family abso-
lutely destitute. Two or three gentlemen who knew
his worth and his misfortunes have taken the theatre
for the 19th instant, in the confident. lope that their
efforts to relieve the widow and children will he suc-
cessful.

RELIGION and HER NAME. A Metrical
Tract, with Notes.
By JOHN SEARCH,
" Ages are fled, and fall'n the Caesars' throne,
And sunk Byzantium's pale and dwindling star ;
And waned the Papal Orb, which yet had shone
With longer—fiercer----but with kindred glare :
But still the Theodosian sword is bare,
To fight the battles of the faith at need ;
Still from the tomb the buried despots scare
The free-born doubters of the Church's Creed;
Whose shelter'd chaMpions laud to heaven the glorious deed !'

CONSIDERATIONS en the LAW of LIBEL, as relating
to Publications cn the Subject of Religion.
" Who 4 John Search' is, we know not; but the above

tention, as an exceedingly acute and cogent piece of reasoning
on an important branch of the law of libel."—Edinburgh Re-

BOMBAY, JULY 20.

There has been more fighting in Afighanistan with
the Ghiljies, a tribe who have hitherto been neutral
or good friends with us. I am sorry to tell you,
that, we have been the aggressors, so much so, that
there does not seem to be the least blame attached
to the tribe. The history of the quarrel is this :
Khelat-i-Ghiljie, an old fort, was thought to .be a
very proper place for a post of the Schah's troops,
so two battalions and some horse were sent to take
possession of the place. No opposition whatever was
offered, but on the arrival of the force at its desti-
nation, three volleys of musketry were fired, and
some salvos of artillery—l believe, in the Schah's
name. This had a very equivocal appearance in the
eyes of the Ghiljies of the neighbourhood, who did not
understand it ; and as Lieutenant Lynch, the political
agent, was riding past a small fort, at some little distance,
the next day, I believe; accompanied by an escort of
cavalry, he saw a body of men, 30 or 40 in number, who
retired as he advanced towards the gate. To threaten
them he gallopped towards them with the cavalry, when
they drew their swords, flourished them in the air, and
got into the fort. Lynch summoned the place, and the
chief, one of Schah Soojah's most stanch adherents in
those parts, sent word that no evil was meant, that
the men had not understood the movement, and that
he would pay his respects next morning ; but this
.would not suit the fiery Lieutenant : an express was
,sent off for a regiment and the guns, which arrived in
the course of the night ; the place was attacked at once,
a la Gliuznee, the gate blown in, and the fort stormed ;
all but four of the defenders of the place were killed,
fighting desperately in the gate, the poor Chief among
the number, and two or three survivors wounded. This
was trumpeted forth as a victory at first, but by degrees
the facts have become known, and the matter ex-
posed in its true light of wanton aggression and out-
rage for no purpose whatever, except to gratify the
pique or vanity of the political agent, at the seeming
want of courtesy of the Affghan Chief. Sir William
Alacnaghten is said to have ,been very angry at
the affair, but the Governor-General's sentiments have
not been niade known, whether Lynch will be dismissed
froM his political employment, which he richly deserves.
The affair has not, however, ended here. The Ghiljies,
who are a powerful tribe of about 5,000 strong, turned
out to a man, as might have been expected, and swore on
the Koran to have revenge for the insult and injury, and
for the innocent blood of their people. No attempt was

LAW AND POLICE.

From the evidence of Ellen Linton, a young girl,
charged at Union Hall for stealing from the pantries
about Sydenham, it appears that a gang of about twenty
boys and girls have long infested this neighbourhood, as
well as Camberwell and Dulwich, by plundering every
kind of eatable provision, from venison down to a pig's
head, from the areas and kitchens of gentlemens' houses,
which, on assembling at night in Sydenham Wood, they
feasted on. The girl confessed that she never lived so
well as she did while with the gang in the wood, and
upon the best provisions. The police have received or-
ders to disperse this crew.

ELECTIONEEItrNG.
At a criminal court held by the Sheriff, to inquire
into the charges brought against Thomas Purves, mason,
and four others, for rioting at the late Haddington elec-
tion, and assaulting the constables, the prisoners were

and sentenced to three months' imprisonment in the gaol.

This little work is not only distinguished but contra-distin-
guished from all others which have preceded it, its pages being
exclusively devoted to the curative department, and hence it
may be justly hailed as a great national desideratum. It con-
tains above one hundred choice recipes, adapted to various
stages of the complaint, which is divided into three distinct
heads and progressive stages of treatment, viz.:-Ist, The
cleansing, or detergent ; 2dly, The strengthening, or tonic ;
and lastly, The alterative, or purifying. Into these three grand
divisions, theory suggested, and long experience has demon-
strated, the curative plan ought and must be divided.
The treatment of this disease has, for obvious reasons, been

L&W AND POLICE.

A special Court of Sewers fur the City and Liberties
of Westminster was held in Soho-square on Friday, to
try before a jury the long-pending question respecting
the right of jurisdiction of the Commissioners over cer-
tain property in Kensall New Town. Mr. Jenkins, the
owner of a large extent of property in that place, had
contested the right. of their nicking sewers on his
grounds, and had made sewers of his own, which the
Court had in pursuance of the powers vested in them
demolished. The following verdict was returned by the
jury :—"We find that Robert Kinnaird Jenkins has
made nine sewers without having previously obtained
the consent of the Commissioners, and that such sewers
are illegal and contrary to the statute." Another Court
• will be called to amerce the defendant in damages and
fines.

On Friday a commission. of lunacy was held at the
Gray's-inn Coffee-house .before the Commissioners, to
inquire into the state of mind of Joseph Ireland, Esq ,
architect and builder, of Osnaburg Douse, Osnaburg-
square. One of his delusions was, that he was the
architect and builder of half the Roman Catholic
chapels in the kingdom, and that he had a g►and idea of
planting a tree in the middle of his kitchen which
through a hole in the various ceilings should fill the
rooms with its branches, and grow higher than the
house. The Jury without hesitation returned a verdict
—" That he was of unsound mind since the 30th of
April, 1838."
On Friday Daniel Carter, alias Dennis Alacarthy, a
a well-known thief, was charged at Hatton-garden with
having stolen a quantity of plate from the Foreign-oilice,
effected under the disguise of a sweep. The witnesses
being positive as to his identity, he was committed to the
House of Correction for three months, and in the mean-
while every effort will be made to trace the plate.
