view which brings out the illimitable perspective of his
architectural effects—has Martin confined himself to
these, in which, as by common consent, it is admitted
that he stands peculiar and alone. The scenes from
Paradise, which we have just named, show him to
be a landscape painter of such merit and truth, that
if he had confined his efforts to this department, he
could not have failed to have been known in it as
superior to to the other. There is the picture, a
landscap* which obtained the Heywood gold medal at
Manchester, and there we saw numerous water-colour
paintings representing the beantiul and picturesque
scenery with which this country abounds—from the
windings of the silver Wye to the numerous and fair
views along the banks of the Thames. In all of these
we perceive a strong feeling for nature, and in them,
too, we observe the effective manner in which, with his
extraordinary management of light and shade, he has
brought scenes palpably before us, bathed in a beauty
which the poetry of painting can alone exhibit. But while
gratified with the sight of those pictures, we could not
reject the thought that the. best works of such an artist
should not be seen in his own dwelling. We lament
that, with all the conventional talking and writing about
art in the present day, so little has been actually done
to increase it and its profession. Here, for example,
is Martin, of an " imagination all compact" beyond
any painter of our day and country. He has had
compliments, presents, honour, from the Emperor
of Russia, the Kings of Prussia and Belgium, the
late Charles X., Louis Philippe, and members of
the Napoleon family; but the royalty of Britain
has appeared unconscious of his existence. Not one
of his paintings hangs in the National Gallery; nor
though the world at large has recognised his merits, his
high originality, has he yet received the doubtful honour
of being allowed to put R.A. after his name. It is just
the same with Lough, whose Shaksperian realisations so
admirably illustrate the work of our greatest poet. A
private individual (Sir M. W. Ridley) has employed him
to those, and the. patronage conferred on him on
behalf of the nation is actually nothing! The first
of living sculptors has not received even one com-
mission to execute a statue for the new House of Par-
liament. Like Martin, too, he has not been admitted to
the Academy. In a right state of things such men
would have been invited, pressed to become Academi-
cians, bestowing honour upon, rather than derive reputa-
tion from, the Academy. But inferior minds cannot
readily forgive surpassing merit, which makes their own
mediocrity more flagrant and apparent."—Newcastle

CHOLERA.

COPENHAGEN, SEPT. 17.—Although the presence
of the cholera in Hamburgh can no longer be kept
secret, the last steamer from Lubec has been per-
mitted to run in.

Now, however, a quarantine of twelve days has
been established at Klampenberg and in Dragal, for
the navigation of the Belt. This intelligence is con-
firmed from Sunday.
STOCKUOLM, SEPT. 12.—1 n consequence of a com-
munication received yesterday from Commerzium,
the following places are designated as infected by the
cholera :—Archangel, and all the Russian and Fin-
land harbaurs in the East Sea, and the Gulf of Fin-
land, except the harbour of Ehland, also Stettin,
Hamburg, and Altona. The following are given as
suspected :—The harbours in the White Sea, the
harbours of Ehland, of Pomerania, Mecklenburg
Lubeck, Travemunde, Holstein, Cuxhaven, Bremen
and Oldenburg.

and face, but they were not sufficient to cause death
in themselves; the death was occasioned by erysi-
pelas, acting upon a debilitated frame and broken
constitution. The erysipelas, he had no doubt, was
the result of the injury that appeared upon the face
of the deceased.

In answer to a question put by the Learned
JUDGE, the witness said, that drunken and intem-
perate habits might in themselves produce erysipelas
in the system, and in such a case violence would ac-
celerate its appearance.
Mr. PRENDERGAST, in addressing the jury for the
prisoner, expressed his opinion that they would
hardly convict her of this offence upon the evidence
that had been adduced. It was suite clear that the
deceased was a drunken, violent person, and that she
was constantly in the habit of aggravating her daugh-
ter, and although on this occasion there had been a
struggle between them, all that the prisoner ap-
peared to be proved to have done was, to endeavour
to get away from her mother : and the injuries upon
the head of the deceased might have been the result of
her own violence on this occasion or of her drunken
habits.

A witness was called who gave the prisoner a good
character for humane conduct, and who also stated
that during the illness of the deceased she waited upon
her with the utmost kindness and attention. It like-
wise appeared that the deceased had frequently fallen
down when drunk, and about three weeks before the
occurrence in question she fell down stairs, when in
that state, and hurt her head.
Mr. Justice WILLIAms having summed up,
The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty.
FORGERY.—A young man, named Waddy, was in-
dicted for uttering a forged cheque for 101. upon the
London Joint-Stock Bank, in the City.
Frederick Roundtree, a publican, stated that the pri-
soner, on Saturday, the 21st of August, came to his
house, and asked him to advance him some money upon
a cheque until Monday morning, as the bank was shut
up, and said, if he would do so he would pay off a por-
tion of an old debt be owed. He said the 101. was his
share of some property belonging to his deceased aunt,
and that in a month he expected to receive some more.
Witness advanced him 21. Tho cheque purported to be
drawn by E. Kealy, of Elm-court, Temple, but the bank
refused to cash it on its being taken on Monday morning,
and the forgery was discovered.
Cross- examined by Mr. CLARYSON—The prisoner was
not in a state of intoxication when he gave him the
cheque.

Several other witnesses having been called,
Mr. CLARKSON addressed the jury for the defence,
and called witnesses to character.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was
sentenced to seven years' transportation.
The trial of Ann Trinham, the unfortunate woman
who stands accused of murdering her child by leaping
from a steam-boat in the river, was postponed until next
session.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Sept. 21.
(Before Mr. Commissioner EvANs.)
'HENRY SMITH'S BANKRUPTCY.
This ban-krupt, described as of East Malling, Kent,
paper manufacturer, came up on the question of certi-
ficate, supported by Mr. Lawrance. The bankrupt
was opposed on a former application for his certificate,
on the ground of an alleged fraudulent preference in
favour of a relative, and the further consideration of
the case stood adjourned pending the issue of an ac-
tion. The balance-sheet sets down creditors at
8,2991, and those holding security at 11,4841. The
available asserts are stated to amount to 3,8221. The
assignees offered no opposition, and the bankrupt's
certificate was allowed.

HENRY KNAPP'S BANKRUPTCY.
Mr. LAWRANCE, who appeared on behalf of the
bankrupt, a banker at Abingdon, said his client's ex•
arnination had been adjourned from the month of
June last, in order that he might furnish certain
accounts as explanatory of his Stock Exchange trans-
actions. These statements had only been filed ten or
twelve days, and the official assignee (Mr. Johnson)
required a month to examine them. If anythiHg arose
within that time needing explanation the bankrupt
would be happy to render all the assistance in his
power, but would decidedly oppose any further post-
ponement.

•
Mr. 1-IAwiLINs, as counsel for the assignees, was
not instructed to object to the present arrangement.
The bankrupt's accounts had occupied ten months in
their preparation.
Mr. LAWRANCE remarked that the bankrupt was
only anxious to relieve himself and his family from
the imputation of having concealed any portion of the
creditors' money.
Ultimately Thursday, Oct. 26, was appointed for
the bankrupt's adjourned examination.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Sept. 2
(Before the CHIEF COMMISSIONER.) i
IN RE WILLIAM WHITE.
..._. _ _

This insolvent had :petitioned under the Protection
Act, and now sought to be dischorged from custody
until the day appointed for his first hearing.
Mr. COOKE opposed upon the ground that the in-
solvent had falsely described himself as a non-trader,
and called a witness named Samuel Snook, who de-
posed that he had worked for the insolvent (a builder)
prior to his bankruptcy in 1847, and also subsequently.
Mr. NicuoLs, who appeared for the insolvent, re-
commended his client, after this evidence, to give up
the present petition and apply under the Ist and 2d
Victoria, c. 110.
The Learned COMMISSIONER said that was un-
doubtedly the proper course to be pursued, and there-
fore he should dismiss the present petition.
(Before Mr. Commissioner HARRIS.)
IN RE J. G. STEWART.
_

This insolvent, a lieutenant—inthe Ist West India
Regiment, was opposed on petition to be discharged
by Mr. Nichols, on behalf of a creditor named
Fumes, by Mr. Sturgeon for Mr. Joel, and by two
creditors in person. Mr. Cooke supported.
Mr. Joel being a creditor on a bill of exchange, the
Court required the production of that document, but
it could not lee found.

paper on Aug. 7, Me. Reader, remember, this letter was put into
he paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me.
" Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Svraii-street, Borough, takes this oppor-
tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstoite, of the Herbary, High-
;ate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having con-
pletely restored the hair en her head, after using it about four mouths,
and the whole of her hair is much stronger and more luxuriant than
T ever was before the baldness appeared.
" Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to-the virtues of Mr. G.'r
Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase
an l Is. bottle it they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex-
perience, net only in the restoration and production of hair in abund-
slice, bat as a cure of nervous headache a
; 113 a toilet perfume iti far
beyond any to her ta.ste. She will feel pleasere la answering any
ady of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough."
In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afe w
Trope on tke crown of the head occa
sionally. e very week, will pre-
vent the hair from coming away with the comb, mane it strong, and
Prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A
few drops en your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give tke
hair brilliancy, causing it to curl.
The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the
mast aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing
odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion
t, the toilet. In cases of neYous headache, pour ten or twelve drops
ou the crown of the head; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of as
hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces
hair on children's heads in a few appplicatiens. If need on infants'
heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre-
vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See
pamphlet of testimonials.

RUSSIA.

The Gazette des Tribunaux publishes a letter
dated St. Petersburgh, 10th instant, which give
an account of a disturbance which occurred in tha
city in consequence of the cholera having recom-
menced its ravages with increased severity, and
particularly amongst the poorer classes. A report
was circulated amongst the people that the aris-
tocracy had employed poison to cut them off. They
immediately constructed barricades. The troops were
about to attack them, when the Emperor arrived on
horseback, attended by a single Aide-de-camp. The
Emperor ordered the troops to fall back, and, ascend-
ing the barricade, he addressed the insurgents as
follows :

" The cholera, my children. is a chastisement which
God inflicts on men, and to which they must submit
with resignation. All the reports of poisoings are pure
falsehoods, ivented by ill-minded persons, who are the
enemies of the people."
The insurgents, who had cast themselves on
their knees, and raised their hands, as in the
attitude of prayer, when they perceived their
Czar, remained silent with the exception of two who
commenced a reply. The Czar ordered the insur-
gents to arrest those two men, and then commanded
the troops to return to their barracks. The insur-
gents immediately seized their comrades and delivered
them up to the police. They demolished the barri-
cades and separated peaceably.

VIENNA, SEPT. 15.—The events of yesterday have
taken a most serious turn to-day. All under arms.
The central point of movement is the University. In
the sitting of the Assembly on the 14th, a commission
of five members were nominated to aid the Ministry
in seeing that their resolutions respecting the peace of
the city are promptly executed. The armistice with
Italy has been prolonged six weeks.—Allgemeine

MARKET NEWS.--(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHAN GE-FRIDAY.
Although several fresh parcels of English Wheat have
'beenTeceived for our market since Monday, the show of
samplea of that grain this morning was small ;
never-
theless, the demand for all descriptions, owing to the tall
in the duty on Foreign Wheat to 4s per quarter, was in a
very sluggish state, and, where sales were pressed, rather
lower figures were submitted to. Upwards of 21,000
quarters of Foreign Wheat have come in this week. As
the importers are now releasing their stocks for home
consumption, the quantity on offer to-day was large.
There was very little inquiry for any quality, and the
inferior sorts must be called is per quarter cheaper.
For all kinds of Barley the demand was in a very inactive
state ; and late rates were not supported. Scarcely any
English Barley was on show. 'The sale for Malt was
extremely dull, and prices receded is per quarter. The
best parcels of Oats were quite as dear. Otherwise the
Oat trade was dull.. In Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and
Flour, next to nothing- was doing.

Notwithstanding our market to-day was but mode-
rately supplied with Beasts, both as to number and
quality, the Beef trade was in a very depressed state, at
in some instances a further decline in the value of the
inferior breeds of 2d per 81b. At least a moiety of the
Bullock supply was the refuse of Monday. The numbers
of Sheep were considerably on the decrease compared
With those exhibited on this day se'nnight; nevertheless,
the M4ttop,trade was very dull, at barely the late de-
pression in value. Lambs, the number of which was
by no means. large, were a mere drug, at almost nominal
urrenci'es. The supply of Calves was again extensive,
owing to which the Veal trade was heavy, at a decline
in prices of quite 2d per 81b. In Pigs very__ little bust-
• mess-was transccted, at our quotations. Mitch Cows,

VENICE.

The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa, of the 16th
inst., mentions that Admiral Albini had retired from
Venice, after obtaining a positive assurance that the
neutrality of that city should be respected. He re-
fused to listen to any other arrangement, until he
was informed that an Anglo-French diplomatic note
insisted on the maintenance of the status quo, and
that the Consuls of Great Britain and France had
joined in a protest against all further delay on the
part of the Sardinian squadron to put to sea.
The Risorgimento publishes a letter from General
DELLA MARMORA to the Austrian General, WEI,
DEN, announcing the evacuation of Venice by the
Piedmontese troops. We learn from Ferrara that
the Austrians have evacuated Stellata and Ponte
Lagoscuro.

THE RECENT FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE EUSTON-
SQUARE TERAIINUS.—Last evening Mr. G. J. Mills held
an inquest at the University College Hospital, on the
body of James Hickie, labourer, being the third party
who died in consequence of injuries received on the 6th
instant, by the falling of a wall, &c.. in progress of
erection near the above terminus. It will be recollected
that Mr. Mills held an inquest on the first sufferer, John
Shea, on the 10th instant, when the jury declining,
though the Deputy-coroner consulted there on the point,
to examine professional persons unconnected with the
building, returned a verdict to the effect " that Shea had
died from injuries caused by the fall of a certain wall,
but how that fall was produced there was no evidence to
show. The verdict did not give satisfaction, and a second
sufferer dying, an inquest was commenced on the body
on Thursday, the 20th, which Mr. Wakley and the jury
ordered to be adjourned to Monday next, that they
might hare the evidence of an architect, appointed by
Government, to examine the locality of the accident.
Mr. Mills adjourned the inquiry of yesterday to the same
day, after the proximate cause of the death, but not the
remote cause, which is now the great object of inquiry,
had been proved.
SOCIETY OF GUARDIANS FOR THE PROTECTION
OF TRADE.—An extraordinary meeting of this society
was held yesterday, for the purpose of taking into con-
sideration the state of the law with regard to lending
goods upon hire, and to take measures to promote the
appointment of a public prosecutor, the lessening of ex-
penses in criminal proceedings, and the more efficient
punishment of swindlers and bill•stealers. Mr. Alder.
man Farebrother took the chair, and a very long dis-
cussion took place upon the state of the law, which per-
mits goods lent upon hire to tenants to be seized by the
landlords for rent. A motion to refer the subject to a
committee was lost. On the other subjects upon the
notice paper being introduced by Mr. Barber (who
spoke warmly in favour of the efforts made by Mr. Gray
to secure the conviction of the swindlers who had robbed
him), it was, after much consideration, resolved that a
public meeting should he called, for the purpose of con-
sidering them, as well as the necessity for amending the
law relating to the lending of goods on hire. This reso-
lution being arrived at, the meeting separated.
