MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY.

We have received a fair average quantity of English
Wheat, coastwise as well as by land carriage, for our market
this week, and the stands to d:iy were well supplied wpi►h
samples, many of which were left over from Monday. The
attendance of buyers being Smell, the demand was in a very
inactive state, at the late decline in value. In line Foreign
Wheats next to nothing was doing. yet the quotations were
mostly supported. Corn, under lock, was a mere drug, and
almost nom►nal in value; for export nothing was doing.
Malting Barley was in moderate request, at lull prices. In
other kinds next to nothing was passing. The Malt trade
was very dull, and lower rates are pretty generally expected
Oats, 'leans, Peas, and Flour were heavy, and the turn
lower.

BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco, before Mr. Justice PATTESON.)
THE QUEEN V. THE MAYOR AND ASSESSORS OF THE BO-

ROUGH OF ST. ALBAN'S.
Mr. WELLSBY moved for a rule que warranto against
the Mayor of St. Alban's, and a person named Joseph
Russell, and called on them to show by what authority
the said Joseph Russell claimed to exercise the office of
town councillor of St. Alban's. The Learned Council
stated that the motion was made upon two grounds.
The first was, that Mr. Russell, the party elected, had
not a majority of votes, and that the numbers had been
incorrectly taken at the poll ; and the second was,
that one of the assessors, who acted as deputy for Mr.
Harrison, was incompetent to act. The facts were simply
these :—The offices of four town councillors of the bo-
rough having become vacant, an election took place be-
fore the Mayor and assessors, one of whom (Mr.
Wingrave) acted for Mr. Jacob Harrison. On
the 2d of November, the day of the election, the
candidates were Messrs. Lowe, Kent, Russell, Kinder,
Shrubb, and Lewis. Two gentleman acted as pll clerks
for some of the candidates, and took a correct list of all
the votes, and their numbers were, for Mr. Lowe 272,
for Shrub 247, for Kent 246, and for Mr. Gibson 243.
The votes were examined that evening in the Town-
hall, in presence of the mayor, assessors, and town. clerk
(Mr. Blagg), and the next day the numbers were de-
clared, for Lowe 277, Kent 254, Russell 248, and Shrubb
245. The deponent stated, that having great doubts as
to the correctness of this return, Mr. W illiams, one of
the poll-clerks, Ne cut to the town-clerk to ir.sptct the
voting papers. The town-clerk refused to allow the
voting papers to be seen together, or any extract or
comparisons to be made. Mr. Williams stated that the
number of them was 473, and they could or.ly contain
four votes each, making a total of 1,892 votes, whereas
the mayor returned 1,904 votes as having been
polled, making the number 12 more than could pos-
sibly have been given. Mr. Wingrave, who acted as de-
puty assessor, in place of Mr. Jacob Harrison, could not
act legally, as the Act stated that no deputy should be
appointed for an assessor, unless in case of sickness,
and then only upon proper notice having been given. In
the present instance Mr. Harrison was absent ill on his
own private business, and no proper notice had been
given.—The rule was granted.
Mr. WELLSBY then moved for a rule absolute for a
mandamus calling on the town• clerk to produce to Henry
Williams the voting papers and to allow him to have a
full inspection of them.—Rulei granted.
THE QUEEN V. THE JUSTICES OF WORCESTER.
Mr. GRAVES applied for a rule to shew cause why a
writ of mandamus should not issue, directed to two
magistrates of the county of Worcester, to compel them
to grant distress warrants against two parties who de-
clined paying the poors'-rate. The Learned Counsel
stated that the facts of the case (which were some-
what peculiar) were these:--On the 10th of July
a rate was made by a competent number of the
churchwardens and overseers of the parish of Broadway
in the county of Worcester. On the Sunday following
notice of the rate was affixed to the church door, accord-
ing to the provisions of the Act. The notice declared
a poor-rate of 6d. in the pound, and was signed by two
of the churchwardens. An attorney in the palish re-
fused to pay the rate. On being summoned to show
cause for his refusal, he objected that the rate was null
and void, as the notice was not a good one. His clerk
and son both made the same objection. The case came
before the magistrates, and it was argued that as the no-
tice was signed by John Justin for J. Poole and Charles
Mosley, it was void on two grounds; first, that no church-
warden had any power to sign by deputy, and, secondly,
that the notice was not signed by a majority of the
churchwardens and overseers. The objection was held
good, and the rate became null and void.
On the 12th of September following a rate similar to
the former one in amount was declared, and the parties
igain refused to pay. On being summoned they ad-
mitted the perfect regularity of the proceedings in this
instance, but contended that the first rate was a good
one, and held good until it had been regularly quashed
at the quarter sessions, and that the last rate being a
concurrent rate could not be valid. The magistrates
who were puzzled by these proceedings refused to grant
a distress warrant, and the parties were compelled to
come to this Court to compel them. '1 he first rate was
most certainly null and void by the Act 7th Wm. IV.,
and Vic. 1., chap. 45, and therefore the second rate
must necessarily be legal, as all due forms had been
omplied with.
Mr. Justice PATTESON—Take a rule.

MACLEAN V. WING

This case, which was in parthcard yesterday, was
again proceeded with to-day.
Mr. Chambers and Mr. Lush appeared for the plain-
tiff; Mr. Whitehur,t and Mr. Mellor for the defendant.
TLis was an action brought to recover possession of a
cabriclet, some harness, and other articles required fur
the str.ble, which the defendant refused to give up. The
plaintiff was agentleman who was residing at Brett's Hotel,
Holborn, and being in want of a temporary supply of cash,
requested defendant to advance the sum of 301. upon the
cab, and other articles, to which the defendant acceded,
and he gate a receipt accordingly for the money, to
which receipt was attached an inventory of the goods
offer, das security for the loan. Subsequently the plain-
tiff tendered the amount of the loan, with interest, and
also the expenses of the standing of the cab at the
livery stables, but the defendant refused to give' tip pos-
session of the goods, eontendingthat the sum of 301., as
gßid by them, was for the purchase out and out of the
ods in question.
On the\ part of the plaintiff several witnesses were
called, among others the groom to the plaintiff, who
stated that his master had frequently been out in the
cab since the date of the transaction, and also that he
was originally engaged by him to attend to his cab, and
that he had continued to do so after the alleged sale had
taken place.

A c3achmaker was also called, who had offered 701.
the cab.

Mr. Baron PLATT, in summing up, thought it highly
improbable that the groom of the plaintiff should be
kept by him to wash and keep in order the cab, if the
plaintiff had actually sold it to the defendant, and also
that it was unlikely that the plaintiff should have sold
for 30/. that for *hick other persons had offered him at
least double the sum.
The jury immediately returned a verdict for the plain-
tiff, damages 641. 65., to be reduced to one shilling on
payment by the defendant of the sum of 351., the latter
sum including interest on the money advanced, and also
the expenses of the cab at livery.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)
(Before the ASSISTANT JUDGE and a full Bench of

Magistrates.)
This morning several prisoners were discharged by
proclamation. The grand jury having ignored the bills
in 18 cases, the remainder being liberated owing to the
nonappearance of prosecutors or witnesses.
Ann Aked, a very old and infirm woman, was con-
victed of stealing a drinking glass, the property of
William Hart, the proprietor of a public house in John-
street, St. Luke's.

The Learned ASSISTANT-JUDGE said the prisoner, in
his (pinion, was a practised hand, yet, in consideration
of her age, he felt inclined to deal leniently with her.
She was then sentenced to six months' imprisonment.
Ann Bedford, was found guilty of stealing a
pewter pot, the property of Daniel Skully, s a
licensed victualler in Kent-street, and sentenced to four
months' imprisoninent.
Mary Anne Ryder was sentenced to six weeks im-
prisonment, for stealing eighteen yards of printed cotton,
the property of Mary Duggan.
John Stringer was indicted for stealing 11. 10s., the
property of Mary Anne Rawson.
It appeared that the prisoner and the prosecutrix lived
in the same house, and on last Thursday, the latter left
a purse in her room containing the above sum, a hich
she missed soon afterwards and the purse was found
empty in the prisoners room.
A verdict of Guilty was returned, and the prisoner was
sentenced to three months' imprisonment.
Patrick Gray was indicted for stealing half a pound
weigh of bacon, the property of Robert Walker Ormston.
The constable who took the prisoner into custody
said upon searching him he found him to be a pert( ct
walking larder. Under his jacket and between his shirt
and waistcoat he was completely lined with rashers of
bacon, and in one skirt-pocket of his coat he had a piece
cf beef and some lard, while in the other was a qua-itity
of tea and coffee, and even his hat was filled with edibles.
He also found 20s. in his trowsers pocket.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was sen-
tenced to f.ur months',imprisonment, with hard labour.

BOW-STREET.--(THIS DAY.)
Christopher Walker, the Waterloo-bridge toll- collector,
remanded from Saturday upon a charge of embezzle-
ment, was again brought before Mr. Henry this
morning. Mr. Powell, solicitor to the Waterloo-bridge
Company, attended for the prosecution.
Mr. May, superintendent of the Essex county consta-
bulary, said that on the sth inst. the prisoner gave hire-
self up to him (witness) at the Litchfield station, saying
that he was a toll-collector to the Waterloo-bridge
Company, and had absconded with about 251. of their
money. .He said that he had been in arrear, and had
been obliged to borrow 41. to make up a deficiency,
but having to pay the 41. on Saturday, the 31st
October, out of the Company's money, he was unable to
make up his accounts. In this extremity be absconded
with what money he had received during the day, and,
having been drinking ever since, he hardly knew where
he was going or what he was doing.
Mr. Bourne, assistant clerk in the Company's office,
said that on the 31st ult., the prisoner, having been on
duty from one o'clock on the day before, ought to have
accounted for moneys received before two o'clock. Ile
did not account for them, however, and had not been
heard of since. On referring to the check kept at the
gate,witness found that 6,280 passengers had gone through
during the 24 hours in which the prisoner was on duty.
He must have taken from each of them id., making in
all 13Z is. Bd. This, together with sums deficient
during the week, for which he had sent in I 0 U's,
wonld make up 24/..195. 10d.

Mr. HENRY could hear no evidence on that matter, as
no sums for which he had sent in I 0 U's could be made
the ground of a criminal charge. He, by acknowledging
that such sums were due, had made them a debt.
The prisoner when called on for his defence, said that
he had been in arrear all the week, but had sent in
I 0 U's, which was very commonly done. On Satur-
day, however, I 0 U's were not received, but it was
necessary to make up the accounts properly. Being
unable to do this, he became almost mad, and he did
not know what he had done since. He had lost 101,
he could not tell how. He believed that the whole sum
deficient had been paid by a friend since he was in
custody.
Mr. Powell said that that was the case.

Mr. HENRY said that it made no difference. It was
no answer to the criminal charge to say that since the
offence was committed the money had been returned.
The prisoner was committed for trial, and he (Mr.
Henry) thought the Company ought to prosecute, not-
withstanding the payment of the money.

MARLBRO'-STREET.—(THIS DAY)
William Biggs was placed at the bar this morning,

mill-street between five and six o'clock, end saw the
prisoner stand at Mr. Joel's window, and push his elbow
through the glass and carry off a watch-case, which was

thief 1" till he passed through Greek-court into Peter-
street.

John Joel, watchmaker, 28, Great Windmill-street,

and saw the glass was broken, the watch-case stolen
from the nail, ar.d the defendant running. lie puru«l
him into Peter street, where he overtook him lying on
his back in a dark corner. The prisoner immediately
said complainant was mistaken; he was not the man, and
offered to be searched. Complainant refused to do ko

he had to furnish out a large funeral in Monmouth court
esterday, and after the corpse had been lifted on the
shoulders of the bearers, as he observed one of the
mourners rather tipsy he took away from her a hood
and scarf. The prisoner, who was standing among the
mourners, tffered to look after the articles, and to put
them in his bag. When he returned, however, from the
funeral the hood and scarf could not be found, and he
was told the woman had taken them away.

Eliza Middleton heard the prisoner volunteer her ser-
vices, and saw her, when the funeral moved away, put
the hood and scarf under her shawl, and leave.

Mr. HARDvacK remanded her till Friday, to sce if the
muslin hood and scarf could be traced.

CLERKEN WELL.-(THIS DAY.)

A young woman, named Jane Kidney, was charged
with stealing a number of trusses, patent surgical ban-
dages, and also a quantity of material used in the manu-
facture of such articles, the property of her former em-
ployer, Mr. Samuel Smith, of Holborn-bars.
The prosecutor stated that he carried on business as a
surgical instrument and truss maker, and was in the
habit of employing a number of females, in sewing and
preparing the bandages and paddings, amongst whom
were the prisoner, and he had given strict orders to all
those persons that they were on no account to remove
any materials from the premises. On last Saturday
week the prisoner left his employment, and he
missed a quantity of leather, silk-lining, and
bandages, as well as some steel-springs, and
trusses, amongst which was a patent one of a pecu-
liar construction, and his suspicion having fallen upon
the prisoner, he caused her lodgings to be searched,
when the articles above-named were found in her bed
room. The prisoner then said she had brought them
home, in order that she might finish them in after hours.
The prisoner, who, when called upon for her defence,
repeated the statement, was committed for trial, but will
be brought up again on Tuesday next.

SOUTHWARK.-(THIS DAY.)
John flay, a tradesman of Croydon, was charged with
intruding himself into a railway carriage while intoxi•
cated, and with other misconduct.

John Hamilton, a policeman of the Croydon Railway
Company, stated that on the preceding night the de-
fendant came on the platform, and it being observed that
be was under the influence of drink, he was informed
that he could not be permitted to enter a carriage. He
however insisted, and with difficulty he was prevented,
and removed outside the platform; he, however, managed
to get back again, and before there was time to prevent
it, he threw himself bodily into a compartment of a
second-class carriage, and lay at full length along
one of the seats, with his feet in a lady's
lap. The passengers called out for the re-
moval of the drunken intruder, and a second
time he was removed. Much trouble and confusion
was created on the platform in the effort to
save him from accident on the moving of the train. At
length it was found necessary, for his own safety, to take
him into custody,
Defendant—l was intoxicated, and have no recollec-

tion of what I did, and can only express my regret that
I should have acted as represented.
Mr. SECHER eulogised the conduct of the Railway
Company, in not permitting persons in the condition
the defendant was described to be from entering their
carriages. The defendant was proved to have been
guilty of great misconduct, for which he should inflict
on him a penalty of 205., and in default of payment
commit him for 21 days.

NEWMARKET and CHESTERFORD
RAILWAY COMPANY.—(THIS DAY.)
An extraordinary general meeting of this company
was held to-day at the London Tavern, Lord George
Manners in the chair, for the purpose of obtaining the
sanction of the shareholders to an agreement with the
Eastern Counties Company, entered into since the last
general meeting, on the 14th of August, to lease the line
in perpetuity, at five per cent. interest on the Parlia-
mentary capital of 350,000!., with the understanding
that should a dividend of more than seven per cent, be
shared by the Eastern Counties shareholders, the holders
in the Newmarket and Chesterford Company shall
receive a return less by two per cent. than those to whom
the line is to be leased. .

The CIIAIR3IAN called upon the Secretary to read the
report.
The report comprised what has just been stated, with
the addition that the Eastern Counties Company were to
pay the interest of all moneys borrowed for the purposes
of the Company, ttether with that over the capital of
350,000/. already subscribed, as well as an allowance for
establishment and expenses. The amount of establish-
ment to be settled by Mr. R. Stcpenson, the engineer.
The Eacern Counties are also to take the extension

lines to Thetford, Bury St. Edmund's, and Ely, when
any or all of them shall be obtained, the Eastern
Counties to allow 4 per cent interest on the calls already.
paid, Cr which are iu future to be raid.

- -
The CHAIRMAN said that the shareholders had heard
j the terms of the agreement from the report, and when
he entered the house this morning be fully expected
that it would be carried out, but only this morning the
directors had received a communication from the Eastern
Counties Company, stating that it was possible the New-
market and Chesterford Company might have misunder-
stood the terms of the agreement. It should be recol
lected that this agreement was fully considered and
settled by the respective solicitors of the two companies.
The understanding of the Newmarket and Chesterford
directors was, that the basis of the dividend was the
14/. 16s, shares of the Eastern Counties Company, but
they bad now been informed that the basis was 201., as
that was the value of the shares, with the s
on
these shares to the Eastern Counties York Extension
shareholders. To this the directors could not assent,
and he (the Chairman) therefore should say that he could
not take any notice whatever of that intimation of the
Eastern Counties Company, which had only been re-
ceived this morning; and he would, therefore, move the
adoption of the report, and that it be circulated among
the shareholders.
J. V. SHELLEY, Esq., in seconding the adoption of
this motion, said that he bad been with Mr. Hunt as a
deputation to the Eastern Counties Company, and
could express his firm conviction that there was no justi-
fication whatever for the interpretation put upon the
agreement by them. In the agreement there was not a
word respecting 20/. ; the terms of the agreement speci-
fied only the York Extension shares, and had no refer-
ence whatever to the whole of the consolidated stock of
the company. (To prove this Mr. Shelley read a clause
of the agreement containing an explanation of the terms
which specify the rate of interest.) The respective soli-
citors of the two companies had, when these terms were
agreed to, Perfectly understood each other, and had seve-
rally taken copies of the terms, that they might have the
same apprehension of them.
Mr. HUNT had been present at the previous meeting
with the solicitors, and they had quite understood the
terms as now interpreted by the Newmarket and Ches-
terford Company.
The resolution was then put and carried unanimously.
Mr. SHELLEY then proposed a resolution to the effect
that the directors be authorised to carry out the terms of
the agreement.
-1" To this several Shareholders wished an amend-
ment to be proposed, expressing a general approval of
the conduct of the directors, and leaving the matter in
their hands entirely. A future bonus might hereafter
be declared by the Eastern Counties Company, which
would again reduce the value of the rate given by
that company to the Newmarket and Chesterford
shareholders.

Mr. SHELLEY explained that this was guarded against
and read the words by which such power was restricted.
After some conversation, and an explanation of the
terms of the agreement by Mr. Tyrrell, the solicitor of
the company, the resolution was seconded by Mr.
Griffiths, the deputy chairman.
Before the resolution was put
Mr. SHELLEY stated that, whether this agreement was
carried out or not, no worse terms would be assented to
with the Eastern Counties Company, and if any gentle-
man was dissatisfied with the terms, he trusted he would
at once say so.
Mr. HYDE was so far from being dissatisfied, that
since he had been informed of this agreement he had
bought one hundred shares at a premium, and also
subsequently another hundred shares, though at a some-
what better price, and trusted the whole would be com-
pleted. Nothing could hare been more admirable than
the conduct of the directors.

A resolution was then put by the CHAIRMAN, autho-
rising the directors to proceed to Parliament for the
branches, which was carried unanimously.
Thanks were then voted to the chairman, and the
meeting separated.

LONDON, SALISBURY, and YEOVIL
RAILWAY.—(THIS DAY.)
A special general meeting of the shareholders in the
above undertaking was held this afternoon, at the Lon-
don Tavern, for the purpose of deciding what course
theyfrould pursue in the present poiition of their affairs;
Mr. Boyd, one of the directors, in the chair.
The report, after recapitulating the original agree-
ment entered into between this company and the South-
Western, which agreement became of no effect in conse-
quence of this company having failed to obtain its Bill,
proceeded to state that another agreement had been
come to with the South-Western Compan), by which
they undertook to pay down 20s. per share on the shares
issued towards the expenses incurred, and a further sum
of 30s. per share in the event of the Bill being ob-
tained for the line from Salisbury to Yeovil; the South-
W( stern Company also to pay the excess of the
exp nses of the London, Salisbury, and Yeovil
Company, beyond the amount of deposit of 50s. per share
of the extent of ss. per share on the number of shares
issued ' • and in the event of this arrangement being
carried out, the present agreement with the South-
Western Company to be put an end to, and the portion
of the line between Basingstoke and Salisbury to be
made by the Lyndon and South-Western Company out
of their own funds. An abstract of the accounts was
annexed to the report, from which it appeared that the
expenditure had been 82.6451. 17s. 6d., while the de-
posits only yielded about 78,4271. 10s. 10d.
Several Shareholders expressed themselves as dis-
satisfied with the conduct of the South-Western Com-
pany, and denounced it in no measured terms. Ulti-
mately, however, the report was agreed to, and also a
resolution authorising the directors to accept the terms
of the &)tith• Western.
A vote of thanks was then passed to the chairman,
and the meeting brok up.

TILE PIXIES OF DEVONSIIIRE.-The pixies of
Devonshire are very differ( fitly described in different
parts of the county. In the Not th of Devon, and on the
borders of Cotnwall, there are thought to be " the an-
cient inhabitants,"—a dwarfish and malicious rac-,
wearing dresses; of dai lc green, and living within the
green circles commonly called " fairy rings." Like
the rest of the "good people," they are fond of
music ; and the sound of their "harp and pipe and
symphony" is occasionally heard at nightfall. It is said
that a man once passing one of these pixy rings, and
hearing them dancing and singing within it, threw
a large stone into the midst of the circle, when the
music at once ceased, and a dreadful shriek arose.
•It is seldom, however, that they become vi
Bible. There is a celebrated pixy haunt at
Costellas, in Cornwall ; where they have been sitting in
a ring, the men smoking after the most approved fashion
of the Dutch Burgmeester, and the women spinning,
perhaps in emulation of the frugal Vrow. On the
northern and western borders of Dartmoor, the Pixies
have a different character. They are sometimes seen
in bands, but more frequently in small numbers—as
two or three together. They delight in tormenting
and leading astray such persons as they find abroad
after nightfall ; and the. only remedy in such a case,
is to turn some part of your dress,—a spell which at
once dissolves II eir " glamour." Like the fairies,
they aro ci.arged with stealing, or rather changing,
children in the cradle ; and with carrying off to
the " joyless elfin bower" such persons as, by the
commission of some great crime, have placed themselves
under their influence. A woman is still living at Tot-
ness, who is said to have been thus changed at her
birth; and on the shores of what is called " the lake,"
at Tamerton, are certain soft sandy places into which
whoever chance to step ...is at once carried off by the
Pixies. They are said to have " houses" in the deep
clefts of broken rock which form the Tors of .Dartmoor.
On the southern side of Sheepstor is a singular cavern,
formed by large overhanging blocks of granite, called
" The Pixies' House," within which they may be heard
sometimes hammering (for, like the Duergar, they are
great workers in metal), and sometimes busily pounding
their cider. This cave is considered " a critical place for
children ;" and no one visits it without leaving a bunch
of grass, or one or two pins, as a propitiatory offering to
the mysterious beings who inhabit it. The Pixies de-
light in riding the cattle about Sheepstor at night ; and
the horses and bullocks of the neighbouring farmers are
constantly found, in the morning, wearied and covered
with foam. They plait the manes of such horses as they
ride ; and the twisted knots that are afterwards found in
them are called " Pixy seats."—Athencrum.

MELANCHOLY SUICIDE OF A LADY AT CLIFTON..--
We regret having to announce the suicide, under me-
lancholy circumstances, of Miss Rebecca Jones, a
maiden lady, 67 years of age, who resided in the house
formerly occupied by the late Mr. Bickley, at Meridan-
place, Clifton.—Miss Jones had resided with Mr. Bick-
ley, and since his death, which, occurred on the 15th
of October last, she had been in a very excited state.
She would walk hurriedly from room to room, talk in-
coherently, and gave evidence that her mind was in an
unsettled state, her prevailing idea being that she would
be brought to poverty. She was last seen alive at
twelve o'clock on Wednesday, when her footman ob-
served her in her drawing-room, and walking up and
down in an agitated manner. In about half an hour
afterwards he was alarmed by hearing a crash in the
back area, and upon going to ascertain the cause of it,
he was surprised to find two of the large coping stones
o f the parapet lying upon the ground. A violent ring-
ing
at the door-bell was heard, and on going to answer
it, he was informed that his mistress had thrown herself
from the house-top into the back area of Mr. Harris's
house
next door. She groaned once or twice, and then
expired. An inquest was held on the body the same
afternoon, and a verdict of Temporary Insanity was re-
turned.—Bristol Mercury.
IMPORTATION OF GUANO.—A vessel, just arrived
in the River from Ghent (Belgium), has brought, in ad-
dition to 27 tons weight of oak bark, the production of
Belgium, 616 bags of guano. The arrivals of this newly-
discovered description of manure have. we believe, hi
therto been confined to the islands in the Southern and
South Atlantic Ocean, and other places in those distant
regions in which it abounds and has been collected.

IMPORTATION or BONES.—A vessel, arrived from
Algoa Biy, Cape of Good Hope, has brought, besides a
general cargo, comprising every variety of the usual sup-
plies from the quarter under notice, the large quantity
of 82,3201 b. weight of dry bones. The arrival of so
large a quantity of animal bones in one vessel from the
Cape is rather remarkable, for whatever purpose they
are intended, and the importation is not altogether un-
worthy of particular notice.
FIVE PERSONS DROWNED.—WATERFORD, Nov. 7.
—A boat, containing six persons, the crews of the two
vessels, Charlotte and Oultcn, while going down the
river, yesterday, upset, and suddenly immersed the
whole party; five out of the number met with a watery
grave. The masters of both vessels (Duck, of the
Charlotte, and Robinson, of the Oulton) were two of the
unfortunate men.

The incumbency of St. James's Church, Bermond-
sey, has been conferred on the Rev, William Novval.

THE LAST DYING WORDS AND
CONFESSION OF EUGENE ARAM.
We (Manchester Guardian) have had a curious printed
paper placed in our hands for inspection, being no other
than the halfpenny sheet hawked about the streets on
the execution of the notorious Eugene Aram. It is en-
titled, " The last dying words and confession of Eugene
Aram, who was executed at Tyburn, near York, on
Monday, the Gth day of August, 1759, for the murder of
Daniel Clark, of Knaresborough, about the 7th February,
1744." Beneath this heading is an impression from an
old and well-worn woodcut engraving, curious. as repre-
senting the mode of hanging at that tlmo. The
gallows has only one upright in this form I, and
there does not appear to be any scaffold, and
the " Tyburn cart" has apparently done its busi-
ness, for a man is represented as hanging from a
rope, carried over the end of the horizontal arm of
the beam, whilst "Jack Ketch" is upon the ladder
placed against the upright, or " the gallows tree." Be-
low are seen the crowd, and mingled with than the
" javelin men," with their halberts preventing the crox d
from approaching too close. There are rude representa-
tious of three houses, all the windows filled with faces,
as if gazing on the spectacle. Beneath this woodcut is
the brief notice of the murderer's biography—" Eugene
Aram, aged 43, was born at Ripon, the son of Peter
Aram, who wrote the excellent poem on Studley Park."
The last dying words " bear internal evidence of their
being fabricated for the purpose of b• ing hawked about
the streets. As this document is believed to be unique,
veinsert a literal copy of the speech or confession put
into the mouth of the wretched man:—
My Father, etho had some loose Thoughts of the
Power of Almighty God,
which he continued too long,
hurt my tender and young Principals in Religion ; I
thank God I am thoroughly convinced of his Error, ad
am in Hopes through the Mediation of my blessed Sa-
riour.Jesus ;Christ to be saved. I confess the Justness
of my Sentence, but was not apprehensive try Accom-
plice would have dealt so perfidiously with me, for I can-
not help taking Notice to the World (as it does expect
I should say something) that he was forsworn upon
my Tryal, as I have solemnly declared to a reve-
rend Divine ; he also was more active in conveying
poor Clark away, than myself, likewise in burning his
Cloaths, and attempting to persuade me to murder:my poor
injured Wife. I hope the Lerd will pardon me for the
Wrong I have done my dear Wife, whose honest Coun-
sel I always disdain'd, depending on my own, as I
thought, superiour Judgment, which I find, but now too
late, hath brought me to this untimely End. I desire
Forgiveness of all the World, particularly, my poor,
dear, and injured Wife, and of all others whom I have
injured in the Course of my wicked Life, begging their
Prayers for my poor departing Soul, and that my Ac-
complices may take Warning by this my woeful End ;
for tho they are clear'd by Man, they know, before
God, they are as guilty as myself. Ido heartily desire
they would make Restitution to all those whom we have
injured, which is the last Words and sincere Wishes of
the unfortunate EUGENE ARAM.
