Alderman H. 11 trollEs suggested that the address
should be one of condolence as well as congratulation,
as the King, when attacked, was surrounded by his
family, whose terror must have been greatly excited by
the event, and with whom it would be proper for the
Court to sympathise. He thought the sympathy of the
Court should certainly be embodied in the address.—
(Hear, hear.) The less formal and the more hearty
and unconstrained the address would be the better.
The suggestion of embodying the sympathy of the
Court in the address was adopted by generally expressed
consent.

After a few words from Alderman Wood, Alderman
Hurnphery, and Alderman Sydney, who agreed in every
sentiment which had been uttered in praise of the King
of Ow French, the address was unanimously carried, and
amidst loud cheers.
The Court then adjourned.

TRENT VALLEY MIDLAND AND GRAND

ZUNCTION.

The object of this Bill is to connect the iron districts of
Staffordshire and the towns of Wolverhampton, Dudley,
Walsall, &c., with the Midland and Eastern Counties Rail-
ways, by a line of twenty-seven miles in length, the esti-
mated cost of which is 700,000/. Engineers, Messrs. Stephen-
son, Goucb, and Bidder ; Parliamentary agents, Messrs.
Ellicombe. The Bill was unopposed.
It appeared in the course of the formal evidence that certain
proofs of notices had been already given before the Sub-Com-
mittee No. 3, the Bill having been originally placed on the
list oT that Committee. The promoters were not prepared
to repeat this evidence, as the lists of the persons served had
been left in the hands of the clerk to that Committee.

The CHAIRMAN said the promoters could apply to the clerk
of Committees and get the papers back, and that if they
failed to produce them in this Committee they would find it
would put them to much trouble.
Mr. ELLICOMBE would endeavour to obtain the papers.
After some further evidence was given the case was ad-
journed.

AIRD'S SELF-INSTRUCTING FRENCH

GRAMMAR. Fourth Edition.
The rapid circulation which this work has already
acquired is of itself indicative of its merit; and a careful
examination of the system upon which it is based con-
firms us in that impression, Mr. Aird has simplified the
very simplicities of his predecessors, and has given evi-
dence of his capabilities as a lingual professor. Perhaps
his most successful effort has been in the arrangement of
the verbs—the chief difficulty to all beginners in French ;
its superiority in this particular over the plan adopted
by Levizac is remarkable. One thing we must especially
observe as peculiar to this grammar : it initiates its
reader into the subtleties of Gallic pronunciation better
than any other written explanation we remember to
have met, and in this respect is only short of oral tuition.
If the book does not fulfil its title of self-instructor
within a very brief interval of study, the defaulters will
evidence a most marvellous capacity for being dull-
headed. As an elementary volume, this work of Mr.
Aird is worthy of the highest commendation.

TALES FROM 7HE GERMAN OF HEIN-
RICH ZSCHOKKE. By Parke Godwin.
Perhaps no literature has so suddenly attained such
an eminence in the world of letters as that of Germany,
and, as another well-stream of that same literature, the
fictions of Zschiikke are peculiarly interesting, The
present translation, though partaking occasionally of
the license of periphrase, is nevertheless good, as an
exponent of the vein of thought which has gained the
author so much popularity in " fatherland." Born at
Magdeburg, in Prussia, " somewhere about the year
1774," Heinrich Zschiikke passed through a series of
singular vicissitudes, which no doubt coloured his fancy
with an air of romance, and imparted such a truthful-
ness to his delineations of passion, and his in-
sight into character. An actor, a playwright,
a schoolmaster, a literateur, he gained a wide
and varied experience
; and in his works the
fruits of that experience are faithfully embodied.
Mr. Godwin tells us as follows :—" In 1805, our author
was married, and still lives at a simple and beautiful
country place near Aaran, surrounded by a large family,
and universally esteemed wherever he is known. In the
seventy-fourth year of his age, after an intensely exciting
but useful life, he awaits with calmness the summons to
the eternal world." This paragraph alone could not fail
to enlist the interest of the most lymphatic reader, while
the stories themselves contained in this volume would
confirm the most favourable estimate of his abilities.
There is a homely wisdom in the fictions which cannot
fail to exercise an effectual and beneficial influence upon
those who will afford the writer an opportunity of listen-
ing to his teachings. If only as a necessary portion of
the series of German novelettes, the book has our com-
mendation.

LATEST FRO vt POLAND.

In the organ of the Polish Emigration, published in Paris,
under the title of the " 31 of May," on Saturday last, we
find the following paragraph :—" At this moment
the news has reached us, on the strength of received
correspondence, of the 'full up' burning of Tarnow and
Bochnic, equally as the evacuation of Cracow by the Aus-
trians, and the occupation of the city by the Russians. The
details of this correspondence are not clearly known to us.
We canist vouch for their truth. We give them as we
have learned on authority."
The Gazette de Co'ogne gives a letter, dated Cracow, April
8, which states that the reflection of flames was seen in the
distance, and that the sound of cannonading was heard, and
that SZELAS, the chief of the peasants, had threatened to burn
Tarnow, should any attempt be made to arrest him.

THE BUSHRANGER OF VAN DIEMEN'S

LAND. By C. Rotvcroft. 3 Vols.
To those who are acquainted with the first series of
these "Tales of the Colonies," and with Mr. Rowcroft's
vivid delineations of " life in the bush," any recom-
mendations of these volumes will be needless. They
contain the same graphic sketches, the same animated
descriptions, while they are rendered more interesting
by the attention being confined to a narrower compass—
not spread over many years, but concentrated on a single
incident—a remarkable passage in the life of a very re-
markable man. The author's avowed object is "to
counteract the pernicious tendency of the false views
which prevail in respect to the penal arrangements of
the Australian settlements—to show that transportation
is, as it should be, a punishment, not a change of country
to be desired as holding forth a prospect of licentious
liberty, and the opportunity of readily acquiring fortune,
and also to give an example of the certain punishment
and remorse which follow crime." He has found a very
fitting hero in the person of the Bushranger, Mat
Brandon, an escaped convict, a man apparently pos
dessed of every talent, without a single virtue—one
whom we must admire, though we cannot approve, and
in whose career, however reluctantly, we are int.rested,
while gloomy tate can hardily be deplorod. At the
commencement of the tale, Mark and five or six com-
panions, as desperate as himself, have escaped from their

WA.ItNVICIC AND VITOROESTZE.

This Bill vas next taken. Its object is to make a line
Commencing at the terminus of the London and Birming-
ham Railway_at the town of Warwick, and proceeding by
Alcaster to Worcester. It will have a branch from Crafton
Flyford to Droitwich. The length of the main line will be
28 miles, and the branch 7 miles. The cost is estimated at
550,000/. Messrs. Dorrington and Co. are the agents, and
Mr. W. B. Prichard is the engineer.
This Bill was opposed by several petitioners, but on the
formal proofs being given, Mr. Dorrington applied to have the
opp2sition adjourned.
Mr. 17-ENABLES and Mr. JOSEPH BUEKE, on the part of the
petitioners, were willing to have the case adjourned until
Friday, but not until to-morrow or Monday.
The CHAISMAN could not consent to any such arrangement.
The case might be adjourned, but if any other Bill was before
the Committee on Friday this could not take precedence.
Mr. VENABLES had agreed to the adjournment, but only
on condition that it should come on on Friday, as some of his
witnesses could not be present tither to-morrow or on Mon-
day.
After soma discussion, however, it was agreed that the case
should come on at the meeting of the Committee to-morrow,
and the Committee then adjourned at a quarter past two
o'clock.

The evidence and discussions as to the allegations against the Bill
occupied the Committee up to a quarter past two o'clock, at which
hour they adjourned till to-morrow at three o'clock, in order to gi' s
time for an arrangement to be made between the parties concerned,
as to which of the allegations should and which should not be ad-

IMPORTANT INVENTION FOR

RAILWAYS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—You would much oblige by inserting these few
lines in your valuable paper. Having my attention
drawn to the recent accident on the Eastern Counties
Railway, by which almost the entire line of carriages
were thrown off the rails, and a fearful loss of life had
nearly been the result, I beg leave to inform those
gentlemen connected with railways, that I have invented
a plan, the construction of which is to prevent carriages
from running off the rails. The grand principle of this in-
vention is, that it can be applied to any railroad with
the utmost facility and ease ; and, as the first law of
mechanics is to avoid friction, in this invention none is
required, so that speed will not be retarded; and it will last
for years without requiring repairs. Even a concussion
(which is generally sure destruction) CANNOT POSSIBLY
throw the carriages off the trams. As I am not pos-
sessed of capital sufficient to meet any expenses which
would accrue from an experimental trial, I should feel
most happy to communicate with any gentleman who
might be disposed to interest themselves in this mai
USEFUL and IMPORTANT invention.

STATE OF YFADE.

MANCHESTER, APRIL 21.—Although there has not
been quite so much business done to-day as on Tuesday
last, the market for yarn has been very firm, the spinners
generally demanding advanced prices, which are par-
tially acceded to by the buyers, but which tend to di-
minish the amount of business. For some descriptions
of goods, and particularly for good 40-inch shirt-
ings, there is a tolerably active demand, and where
manufacturers are willing to accept the current prices of
last week, sales are made with facility. This, however,
does not extend to printing cloths, which, though in
somewhat better demand than they were a fortnight ago,
are still relatively dull of sale.
ROCHDALE, APRIL 20.—There has been a fair average
market to-day, and prices have been the same as last
week. There is a Government order for 7,000 flannels,
which has been allotted this last week amongst six manu-
facturers. The wool dealers complain of a dull demand
for the raw material.

LEEDAZ, pml:Tr.—There was a good deal more
bustle in our market to-day, and a fair quantity of goods
changed hands for shipment to America. We hope this
improving state of things will last, and afford that relief
to our manufacturers which is so much needed.
HUDDERSFIELD, APRIL 21.—Rather more business
has been done to-day in the Cloth-hall, several Ame-
rican and London buyers being in the market ; but,
nevertheless, trade i- not in the active state usual at this
season. A feeling of confidence appears to gain ground,
which will doubtless produce a more healthy trade...—

THE SHOOTING SEASON.

As the 12th of August draws nigh, great numbers of
sportsmen are wending their way, to be comfortably
housed among the mountains before that auspicious day
—as eagerly longed for by many as the coming off of a
Derby or St. Leger race; and, like the points of favourite
racers, the good and bad qualities of moors are estimated
and criticised. The reports which we formerly gave, as
to the strength and abundance of the grouse, areconfirmed
by later testimony. Generally speaking, the birds will be
strong and plentiful. Many beats will present the
singular appearance of broods, too young to shoot at,
and others not to be distinguished from old birds. On
a few moors there are barren pairs, their young having
been destroyed by thunder-clouds, which, falling in
torrents, drowned the cheepers among the heath. We
heard an instance of this from a keeper who rears a
number of pheasants by hand-feeding. At meal times,
five or six, which had their broods in the neigh-
bourhood, brought them regularly to feed ; but after
a storm of thunder and rain, though the dams re-
turned, all their chicks were gone. Tape-worm
has also been spreading its contagion, not much as
yet in this county, although it can hardly escape
this eccentric and little-known disease. For such shoot-
ings
as are unlet, inquiries are still made ; and among
the last taken are—Kilmorack, by E. J. Collingwood,
Esq.; Dalmally, H. Brooke, Esq.; Diebdale and Sal-
lachie, M. W. Forde, Esq.; Cantray, J. S. Hodgson,
Esq.; Knocky, J. W. Perry, Esq.; Auchinault, T.
Garde, Esq , and W. 0. Jackson, Esq.; Dalmigavie, J.
La Touche, Esq. Several sportsmen, who have formerly
been in the north, are to be located a step southward.
Richard Winsloe, Esq., is to be at Blackhall and the
forest of Birze; Mr. Caldwell at Skellater: and H. Call-
well, Esq., and party, at Finzean. Some good shots
have already been made in the deer forests. At Inver-
broom, Sir George Gore, IBart., began his stalking by
killing two; the Master of Lovat and the Hon. Fraser,
three, in Glenstrathfarer ; and one very fat stag, with
thick antlers, on Fairburn, the property of H. M. Fowler,
Esq. We saw yesterday two fine heads from Fasnakyle,
one of them royal—horns very strong, nearly palmated
at the top, three long tines on each, the inner ones ap-
proaching each other to six and a half inches. Another
splendid, wide-spreading royal head was sent from
Rhidorrach. It had the well-known cups formed on
the top branches. At Loubcroy, J. M. E. Jones, Esq.,
shot his first stag of the season some days since.—lnver-
ness Courier.

"My dearest Mary,—Oh how terrific is that storm
winch has arisen against your unhappy father ! Where
will these things end? My health is marvellously good,
bnt my peace of mind is like the steam from the vessel,
gone for ever. Pray write one line to say you are well.
Alas ! you cannot say you arc happy. We fall together.
Give it to our friend Hutchings, who will send it to
Nisbitt, who will soon know where to address.
"THE WRETCH."
The next was a letter from the daughter to her father :
"My dear Father,—lf you do tell my husband all, he
will, I fear, not return to me. I was advised to give
back the papers and key I took from the office, and I
have done so, The writs I still have. I should like to
see you, and would come, but will pray and strive to be
quiet.—Your unworthy child,
"M. E. M. COOKE.
" P. S.—lf you give in, and John does not return, it
will be the greatest folly. I fear only for YOU."
The next was a letter relied upon by the plaintiff as
a proof that the defendant was aware of his daughter
being in the family-way in April. 1843, and that ha was
taking measures to procure a miscarriage. It was ad-
dressed by the defendant to Mrs. Cooke:—
" Byfield, April 1, 1843.
" My, darling will be pleased to hear that a kind Pro-
vidence has once more brought me to this quiet retreat.
On a former occasion I travelled to London with a
clerical schoolmaster, and he accompanied me to-day to
Blissworth. It helped to beguile the way, though it de•
prived me of the pleasure, perhaps of the pain, of reflec-
tion. All here is quiet; not any letters for you, and
only one for me. I have not said anything to Ruby, for
i
the chief difficulty will bo n her travelling with me,
which is certainly very objectionable, and I fear you will
find it difficult to obtain the assistance of a certain
coachman's wife, as she has children. It may be best to
obtain the assistance of a regular surgeon, if possible,
but take care to avoid any such connexion as may bring
former servants to the house, or bring you in contact
with any of those families you wish to avoid. I hope it

9111 IE MOORS.-GROUSE SHOOTING.- It
A has been the frequent suggestion of several Gentlemen, con-
stant patrons, that a SHOOTING JACKET and VEST, made of the
same kind of Llama Cloth as used by them in the Registered Paletot,
but in colours more suitable for the purpose, would give much
satisfaction; such have been prepared; and the Jacket and Vest
together will weigh but 16 ounces. There will also be a variety in
thicker substances, hut, for the extreme heat anticipated on the
moors this season, those described will be found a perfect luxury in
comparison with others. They will also be found very useful as a
Fishing Coat, and other such purposes ; but it is necessary to observe
that they can only be had in London, of 11. J. and D. NICOLL, at
22, Cornhill, and the chief warehouse, 114, Regent-street.

OBSERVATIONS RELATING TO THE VERY IMPORT-
ANT ESTATES AT PRESENT ADVERTISED FOR
SALE BY AUCTION AS ABOVE.
MR. W. W. SIMPSON, for obvious reasons,
has recommended the proprietors of Irish Estates who
have honoured him with their confidence, to postpone those sales,
which were advertised to be sold by Auction in April and June last
to the autumn of this year. The ameliorating measures brought
forward by the late, will no doubt be carried out by the present,
Government, and the confidence which attach to these measures
hag already inspired that tranquillity which tends to industry and
that increased prosperity in the country which must ensure remu-
nerative and secure investment for capital. The applications Mr.
Simpson has had from English and Irish capitalists for particulars
of estates at present advertised, and having already received an
offer for the Estate in the county of Donegal, advertised for sale
by auction, (consisting of 4,100 acres) of within 6001. of the sum
which would be accepted, confirms the correctness of the foregoing
conclusions.

The above observations apply also to mortgages, and Mr. Situp-
son has large sums ready to be advanced on approved security.

JOHN BURGESS and SON, being apprised of the numerous en;
deavours made by many persons to impose a spurious article for their
make, feel it incumbent on them to request the attention of the
übllc, in purchasing what they conceive to be the original to ob-
serve the Name and Address correspond with the above. The genes
ral appearance of the spurious descriptions will deceive 'the un-
guarded ; and, for their detection, J. B. and San, submit the following
cantions:—Some are in appearance at first sight, '• the genuine," but
without xame or address ; some " Burgess's Essence of Anchovies,"
and others " Burgiss's ;" and many more without address. Joh/.
Burgess and Son, having been many years honoured with such dis-
tinguished approbation, feel every sentiment of respect towards the
public, and earnestly solicit them to inspect the labels previous to
purchasing what they conceive to be of their make, which they hope
will prevent many disappointments.
BURGESS' NEW SAUCE, for general purposes, having given such
great satisfaction, continues to be prepared by them, and is recom-
mended as a most useful and convenient sauce; will keep good in all

PRINCESS'S THEATRE.

A new farce, entitled The Barber Bravo, was produced
here on Frday night with complete success. The scene is laid in
the duchy of Montalbano, somewhere in Italy, in an uncer
tain latitude, during the reign of Prince Hector XXXVI.,
who flourished in an uncertain century. Prince Hector (Mr.
Granby) is an old man, married to a young wife, having
been seduced into matrimony by his admiration of the raven
tresses of the Princess. But she has gained her husband
under false pretences—the raven locks are naturally red, and
are dyed every day by a certain barber, who, through the in-
fluence of the Princess, has obtained the office of Master of
the Horse. The Master of the Horse dies, and bequeaths
the receipt for dyeing hair to his nephew, Girolamo (Mr. C.
Mathews), an operative barber in the neighbourhood..
Girolamo and his receipt must be procured, and the
Princess causes him to be abducted and brought
to the palace. The Prince has long wished to have a Ve-
netian bravo in his pay. Girolamo is brought to the palace.
He believes the Princess is in love with him. He sees the
Princeti who mistakes him for the bravo. The Barber's
affianced bride, Grannetta (Miss B. limner), out of jealousy,
denounces him to the Prince as the lover of the Princess.
The Princess places " her head in his hands," when it is dis-
covered that he has destroyed his uncle's receipt. The Prince
employs him to assassinate himself (Girolamo). A series. of
amusing contre-temps ensues. The Prince laments that his
hairs are grey, and the Princess's black, and wishes she ware
