MR. SHIEL, M.P.—As little has been heard lately
.f the Master of the Mint, his tragedy of Evadne, which
has been shelved for several years, is in preparrtion for
revival at the Theatre Royal, Ilawkin's-street. Miss
Faucit will personate the heroine. Lady Beecher, for
whom the play was written, is at present in Dublin, in
the enjoyment of good health.—Leinster Express.
APOTHECARIES HALL.—The following are the
names of gentlemen who passed the r examination in the
science and practice of medicine, and received certificates
to practise, on Thursday, Oct. 26, 1848:—James Henry
Lakin, Hadleed, Atherston, Warwickshire; Edward
Gylles Crooke, Edinburgh; William James
India; Henry Potter.
DOVER, THURSDAY MORNING.—Since Tuesday,
evening a very heavy gale of wind from the west-south-
west has prevailed along this portion of the coast, and
unfortunately been productive of much havoc amongst
the shipping, several coasters having been lost.
Her Majesty's mail steam yacht Vivid, Commander
Sinitliett, met with a serious accident yesterday
in attempting to enter the harbour. She had made
a very quick passage from Ostend ; and just at the
moment of her entering the harbour two or three tre-
mendous seas took her and carried the vessel with fear-
ful violence against the head of the north pier. Her
paddlebox and bulwarks were carried away and her en-
gines rendered unmanageable. Fortunately she got clear
off, and with the aid of canvas succeeded in getting
clear of the South Foreland and made for the Downs,
where she brought up, and a lugger being sent
out to her the passengers and mail were landed
in safety. About the same time the Boulogne
steamer for Folkestone passed to the Downs—being
unable to make that harbour. Neither of the Calais
steamers made their appearance. Northward, numerous
casualties are reported by the pilots. The master of a
brigantine lying in the roads reports seeing a schooner
go down eight miles north of Beachy Head; all on board
are supposed to have perished. The formidable cha-
racter of the sea prevented the brigantine getting near
the spot to render assistance.

LESLEY.—The remains of this highly estimable
lrecincts of Durham Cathedral. Viscount Chelsea, the
withgiennttile;
man were to be interred yesterday in a vault
Hon. Colonel Liddell, and other connexions, were to
attend the funeral. The late Countess of Mornington
(mother of the deceased), and the late Marquis Wel-
lesley, the Earl of Mornington, and Lord Cowley, are
all interred in the family vaultiat South Audley Chapel.
FATAL REMORSE.—Yesterday an inquest was held
on the body of Henry Fox, aged 34, a lamplighter in the
employ of the City Gas Company. On Saturday last
the deceased and his wife had been taken to the station-
house for creating a disturbance in the street, and being
drunk and disorderly. On Monday they were charged
before Sir Peter Laurie with the offence, and fined 65.
each The unfortunate deceased would seem to have
been generally of temperate habits, and the disgrace of
having been locked up in a station-house preyed exces-
sively on his spirits; and this, coupled with the fear of
losing his situation at the gas-works, at length led him
to hang himself. Verdict—Temporary Insanity.
SIGNS ow Wrzczart.—Several flocks of wild geese
have been seen upon the Cornish coast, and quantities
of starlings have also made their appearance. Many
woodcocks have shown themselves, and a few have been
shot. A beautiful specimen of the osprey or fishing
hawk (pancion haliachis), was caught alive at Moors•
water Lodge, by P. Lyne, Esq. It was seen for several
days previously about the grounds, induced to remain
there probably for the purpose of preying on the trout
in the fish ponds, although it had been once fired at.
It was finally captured by means of a rat-gin placed on
a high pole, on which the bird attempted to perch ; it
was very slightly injured, and is now in Mr. Lytle' a
possession. According to Montagu, the osprey is rarely
met with in England, and more frequently in Devonshire
than elsewhere.—Plymouth. Journal.
MARDLE VAIIIIIING, OA SLATT Ohio,
according to a New York paper, a Mr. Blake, of Akron,
has discovered a curious mineral, soft at first, and like
indigo, but hardening in a few days into a slaty stone.
On analysis it is found to consist of about
one-half silica, one-fourth alumina, with mag-
nesia,oxide and sulphate of iron, lime, and carbon. By
reducing
paint, it to fine powder, mixing with linseed oil into
thick
and applying it with a brush to wood, iron,
tin, zinc, or brick, it becomes, after a few months'
exposure, perfectly hard and indestructible. As
a protection against fire, it is said to be invalu-
able. In the west it is in large demand for covering
roofs of buildings, for bridges mad fences, ac., all of
which i t protects from weather as well as from fire.
Blakentt inferior
School slates are manufactured by applying it to thin
wood or pasteboard. On wooden mantel fronts and
tables its appearance, when polished, is held to be

rian cement mixes with oil, and might thus,
we think, be used as paint, or for stony veneering ;
and certainly the surface of blocks of Portland cemen,
reminds one a good deal of slate: the hardening, toot
from a soft or moist state very much adds to the resem-
blance which it bears to this new world's wonder. By
the way, silica, with lime, has been found, if we mistake
not, to form a sort of glaze well adapted to give a stony
d veneering, like this, to plaster.-7 he Builder.
FOREIGN CATTLE.—The importation of lambs from
Hollan continues to take place, although the
season is
so far advanced for this description of young live stock.
The vessel Lord John
Fussell,
arrived from Harlingen,
has brought 78 lambs, in addition to a fai • r complement
of other descriptions of live cattle;

tity of 3,458 casks of butter and 300 of cheese 100 bags
of beans, 710 quarters of oats, some packages of

BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, OCT. 27.—0n1y a li-
mited business has been transacted in our market this
week, chiefly, however, for the want of a supply, as the
demand is good, particularly for refining descriptions ;
prices are about the same as at the date of our last re-
port. The refined market is dull.—Bristol Mercury.
THE ATTORNET AT THE DEATH-BED SIDE.—
Spoaking of the sudden emergencies which demand the
energies of the legal man, Mr. Warren says:—" Take a
case which I glanced at in a former lecture; your being
sent fur in haste, to prepare the will of some one sud-
denly seized with mortal illness, or who has suffered
some dreadful accident, hurrying him to a premature
death-bed. It may be a person of great wealth, whose
property, both real and personal, is in a complicated con-
dition—whose business transactions are extensive and
intricate—who has a large family to provide for. He is
suddenly bidden, by the Supreme Disposer of events, to
turn his pale face to the_ wall. Haste! fixate! Life is
ebbing fast away: his family are weeping around him;
but he is waiting for—is thinking of—you, in his agony
and alarm: he has but an hour or two—it may be less
time to live: he has, with fatal imprudence, delayed
making his will till this terrible moment, and you are
now suddenly summoned, as the nearest professional
man accessible. Writing materials are at band: the
medical man has ominously whispered that you have not
a moment to lose; and he leaves you for awhile with his
dying patient. As you look on him—as you listen to
him—are you flustered and bewildered? Does your ill.
regulated, turbid mind, fail to follow your unhappy
client, so that you do not distinctly perceive his inten-
tions and wishes—intelligible though they really are—
for the disposition of his property; do you feel a sicken-
ing consciousness that you cannot carry them into effect;
or do you, perhaps, imagine that you can, when you
really cannot? You draw up, however, a document,
professing to secure the interests of many tenderly.
beloved children, tied other dear afflicted beings depen-
dent upon the testator, and their very sobbings may be
audible to you. Having caused that instrument to be
executed, you quit the apartment, assuring your client
almost at the last gasp, that as far as regards his worldly
affairs, he may die in peace ; and you depart with his
feeble thanks in your ears, the pressure of his feeble
fingers on yours;—and yet, the instant that the will
comes into operation, it explodes, as it were, like a shell!
shattering every interest which it touches! It plunges
everybody and everything into inextricable confusion;
involves those whom your poor client best loved, in
ruinous and sometimes malignant and interminable liti-
gation; your blunder is proclaimed, canvassed, and vainly
sought to bo rectified, in Court after Court of Law, and
Equity; you are unable to bear the agonizing but un-
availing reproaches of those on whom your ignorance
or incapacity has entailed such lamentable evils. You
dare not go near the grave of him whom you have so
dreadfully deceived and wronged!— Warren on Attornies
and Solicitors.
UNIVERSIT.. Y. COLLEGE, OXFORD, OCT. 27.-111 r.
Thomas Valpy French, scholar, and Earl of Leicester's
exhibitioner of this college, was this day elected to the
vacant fellowship.
13121INCHLET.—Great alarm prevailed here on Sa-
turday morning by the cry of " Fire." It appears that
Mr. E. Monckton, of the Parsonage farm, was awoke by
Mrs. Monckton, at about two o'clock in the morning, she
seeing an unusual light in the air; and Mr. Monckton,
on going to the window, saw the large barn in flames,
An express was immediately sent to Tunbridge Wells
(seven miles distant) for the town engines, which arrived
in about two hours, when the scene was terrific, two
barns and a hay barn, with contents, being destroyed.
Had it not been for the exertions of Mr. Lambert and
others, the lofty granary, stables, &e., must hare also
been burnt,—Maidstone paper.

Cross-examined by the ATTORNET-GENERAL—Be-
came a Chartist a week after the 10th of April. Was at
the meeting at Bonner's-fields, and had attended several
ef the Chartist meetings. Belonged to the Marylebone
vality.
Mr. Justice MAIILE—What do you understand to be
a Chartist. Witness—A person who is anxious to get a
fair day's wages for a fair day's work.—(Laughter.)
The ATTOMIET-GENERAL—HOW do you expect to
get it? Witness—by peaceable means; by petitioning,
and not by using such-- weapons as this (pointing to the
pike).
Mr. Justice MAtrLE—Then you are not a physical-
force Chartist? Witness—No.—(Laughter.)
Cross-examination continued—Witness was a member
of the Emmett Brigade. Emmett was hung many years
ago, but witness did not know for what. It was not for
petitioning.
Thomas Paris—Was a blacksmith, residing at Green-
wich.. Knew Davis, and was sorry he did so. Witness
never saw him work, but saw those guns, pistols,
and other things is his shop. Met Davis
on the 16th of August, about one o'clock. He said to
Witness, " You are the very man I want." He said to
saltness " This is the night the blow is to be struck ;"
and ho asked witness to come up to London. Davis
said he was " all right" or " all ready," and opened his
coat and showed some tricoloured ribbon.

" In preparing the above tables, it has been the earnest wish of the directors to exhibit, in as clear and intelligible
a form as possible, not only the whole expenditure already incurred, but an estimate of all future liabilities.
It will be seen, from the summary /sic). 5, that the sum required in addition to the amount
expended on the 30th of June last, to complete all the works at present in progress, is estimated
•£3,136,626
" And that the total contemplated outlay of the company will then amount to ... 425,862,012
es will be reduced
. to ..
".
And that when the present share capital is fully ealltd up, which will probably be in 1852, the

For this outlay the company will possess 500 miles of railway, and a pecuniary interest in 641 miles4in2s;dB
which may be considered as -a tributary to the parent line.
~ in proceeding to state the views they entertain in regard to future prospects, the directors, of ceurse are liable
to error, since the results are problematical ; but it will be for the shareholders to determine whether their' antici-
pations are reasonable or otherwise, taking all the circumstances into consideration, and being guided by the ex-
perience past.
‘ arriving at an estimate of the future prospects of the railway, it will be convenient to reverse
the'lorderWith
a view
of theofth oeschedules, and to consider each head in detail.
" The liabilities contained in the 4th Schedule may be briefly disposed of. Several of the lines therein enume-

" The North Union hue is also a joint-lease with the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company at ten per cent. per
annum ; the loss upon this undertaking has been charged in the revenue account of the general concern, and In
both cases it is not improbable that any loss will entirely disappear with the return of commercial prosperity.
" The Shropshire Union lines are guaranteed a dividend equal to half of that of the London and North-
Western Company, but are entitled to any profits on their own line as far as six per cent. ; further profits to be
divided equally between the two compani,,,. Tho nominal capital is large, but the Shropshire Union Company
has at present confined its outlay to the formation of a line from Shrewsbury to Stafford ; the calculations
appended, refer only to that work, which brings a new and important district into immediate connection with the
centre of the London and North Western Company's lines. Tho canal forms a portion of this guarantee, but as it
has produced a nett profit considerably above the guarantee, and is not likely to be seriously affected by surrounding
interests, the directors feel much confidence in assuring the proprietors that they do not anticipate any drain on
their resources from this undertaking.

"It may not be out of place here to allude to the negotiations which have been for some time pending with the
Great-Western and south-Western Companies. A principal object has been to save capital on new lines by a
union of interests where the parties occupy the same districts. It would be premature to specify the particular
points ut which they contemplate this economy, but should the arrangements now proposed be carried out, the
affect would be materially to reduce the general expenditure.

not know whether he was a Chartist or not, but upon
being pressed, he admitted that he was, and belonged
to the Wat Tyler Brigade. Davis was a class leader.
Witness bought a gun in order, if there was to be a fight,
he might be ready as well as the rest. Davis said there
would be a revolution, but witness said there would not,
at they were not ready. Davis had always a brave of
pistols about him. The gun witness bought was a
Queen Anne's piece, and a real rum one.—(Laughter.)
Witness gave 6s. for it.
Reuben Collett—Was a baker and knew Davis. Was
not a Chartist, and had never been asked by Davis to
become one. Saw pistols in Davis's shop. Had heard
Davis say he was a Chartist, but never beard him say
he would wallow knee seep in blood for the rights of
his fellow creatures.
Thomas Martin said that he had beard Davis make
use of that expression, but Collett was not present.
John Matthews, a bricklayer at Greenwich—Had seen
Davis at several of the Chartist meetings in Greenwich
With pistols, and urging the people to join the Chartists.
John Hanks, of Greenwich, said that Davis had told
him half-ineh chisels were very good things to tear up
the bowels of the police, and, pointing to a musket, he
said, " these are the things that will settle your special
constables." Witness would not believe Davis on his oath.
Cross- examined by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL—Davis
knew witness was a special constable. Witness would
not join the Chartists, because he knew what they wanted
could never be carried out in this country.
John Stanton, John Vinegar, and several other wit-
nesses from Greenwich, were examined for the purpose
of contradicting the evidence of Davis, but they did not
succeed in doing so in any material respect.
Several other witnesses were called and examined, for
the purpose of contradicting the evidence given by the
informer Barrett, but they did not shake his testimony

by these witnesses was a recapitulation of
