MARLBORO UGH-STREET.

A great number of respectable inhabitants of St. James's
attended before a full bench of Magistrates, to argue a
question respecting the right of hackey-coaches to stand
in Piccadilly, from St. James's Church to the Haymarket.
The question was considered of so much importance that
the parish employed Mr. C. Phillips to conduct their case.
Evidence was heard on both sides. On the part of the
parish it was contended that the stand at that particular
place was the occasion of serious obstruction, and placed
in a great many instances the lives and limbs of passengers
in jeopardy. On the other hand it was asserted that the
stand had been regularly appointed by the Hackney•coach
Commissioners, and therefore it ought not to be put down.
After a long and patient hearing of the arguments pro and
con, the further consideration of the case was postponed to
Wednesday next.

James Hayes, footman and under-butler to Dr. Augustus
Granville, of 16, Grafton-street, Bond-street, was on Satur-
day placed at the bar, charged with stealing a dozen dessert
spoons, and other articles, the property of his master.
The prisoner was remanded until Wednerday.

THE LATE DREADFUL MURDER AT STOW

THE WOLD.

When the unfortunate Mr. Renns was brutally mur-
dered at Stow on the Wold, it appeared, from the evi-
dence before the Coroner, that his watch mnst have been
stolen from his person. The mysterious workings of Pro-
vidence seem to have rendered the theft the means of
bringing the perpetrator of the murder to justice, as will
appear from the following copy of a letter, with which we
have been favoured :

" Stow, Sept. 26, 1834.
" Sir—l have the pleasure to inform you that the gold
watch or repeater, the property of the late Mr. Renns, was
this day taken to Mr. Payne to be repaired ; and he most sin-
gularly happened to be the same watchmaker who had it before
in his possession to repair several times for Mr. Renns him-
self; and he has (as —, Pool, Esq. has also) sworn to its
being the same. The man who exchanged it a few days ago,
for a silver watch, is now before the Magistrates on examina-
tion, and he is carter to a butcher who lives the third gate
below Mr. R. Clifford's. (Within 20 yards of the place where
the body was found.) Mr. Pool and Mr. Watts are the pre-
siding Magistrates, and we entertain no doubt now but the
perpetrator of this horrid deed may soon be brought to condign
punishment, and the innocent rewarded with justice. It is
this moment stated that the prisoner says he found the watch
in a garden.—l am, Sir, ;our very obedient servant,
" THOMAS CLIFFORD.
" To Mr. .I. M. Croad, Solicitor, Gloucester."
We have heard that John Clifford and - Cox, who
suffered so long an imprisonment, first in Northleach, and
subsequently in the county gaol, for many months, until the
Grand Jury ignored the bill preferred against them at the
Assizes, have been advised to proceed against the Magistrates
by whom they were committed for trial, and that notice of
action has actually been served.—Cheltenham Journal.

JUDICIAL CHANGES.

A Court was held- ;resteil;;;ning for the despatch of
pro forma business, but nothing of interest occurred.
It was, however, announced that Sir John Nicholl, who
has for many years presided over the Prerogative Court,
had resigned that high office, the duties being too numerous
for his advanced years. Sir John Nicholl will, however,
retain the office of Judge of the Admiralty Court, to which
he was appointed on the death of the late Sir Christopher
Robinson.
Sir Herbert Jenner, his Majesty's Advocate, has been
appointed to the office of Judge of the Prerogative Court,
and will assume the duties at the commencement of the
November Term.
No appointment has yet been made to fill up the office
of King's Advocate. It is expected that this office will be
conferred on Dr. Dodson, as it is not considered likely that
Dr. Lushington will take upon himself the duties in the
present state of affairs.
The appointment of Sir Herbert Jenner, as Judge of the
Prerogative Court, has given much satisfaction to the Bar
of the Ecclesiastical Courts.

TAKING A BATH IN GEORGIA.

We afterwards made a visit to the CroWn -Baths, in
entering -the • hall we-.. remarked .4 large.
room on the left, in which-the preorgians were playing
at billiards. We were shewn into a similar apartment
on the right, with an alcove on one side, and a curtain
drawn in front of it, between two columns.-. In the
alcove we found some chairs and a low table, or rather
bench, covered with a linen sheet, where the natives
undress and deposit their clothes. Having desired the
attendants to treat us, in every respect as they did the
Georgians, they took off our clothes ; and, after fas-
tening a linen girdle upon each of us, they led
us to the bath rooms, which are large and vaulted. In
the centre of their arched roofs are apertures for
the admission of air. The baths are of an
oblong square form, and from 5 to 5i- feet in depth.
They are cut out of the rocks, and are filled by means
of pipes fixed above them, and through which the warm
sulphurated fountains continually flow. Each bath is
provided with two large boards, raised about four inches
from the floor, so as to accommodate two persons at a
time. I was desired to descend into the bath by means
of a stair, which being done, I was led out, and laid
upon one of the boards mentioned, while my head rested
upon a little wooden pillow. The attendant having
filled a bucket with water from the bath, and having
put on his right hand a glove without fingers, and made
of goat's hair, washed and scrubbed over the whole body.
This process lasted almost a quarter of an hour. A
number of tubfulls of warm water were then dashed
over me. He next took a bag, which was filled with
soap suds, and emptied it on different parts of the
body, while he continued a gentle friction with one
hand ; a second operation, which did not terminate in
less than twenty minutes, the ablutions with warm
water being again repeated, he made signs for me to
enter the bath, and to remain as long as I chose. As
in Persia, Turkey, Egypt, and India, the attendants
employ pressing, squeezing, and kneading, as it were,
the surface of the body ; an operation well knowing
under the appellation Champooing. Another part of
the operation consists in cracking all the joints, and
then standing on, and even walking over the body ;
but to neither of these did I submit. One of our
party had his joints cracked ; but to the 'walking ope-
ration he also demurred. Such a luxurious bath I
never before enjoyed ; and now I can easily conceive
how the natives of this country should remain in it
hours, nay, whole days.—Lyall's Georgia.
London, England, 1834-10-02

A SHOWER OF MUSCLES IN AMERICA.

Mr. Montgomery, tie gaoler of the county, handed us
the following communication, written by one of the pri-
soners :—The falling of the stones and muscles, he assures
us, was witnessed by many, perhaps all the prisoners, some
of whom are in confinement for debt, others charged with
crimes. He himself was in the country that evening, but
he declares that he has no doubt of the truth of the story.
He says he picked up muscles next morning. Saturday
evening, the 9th instant (August), about five, the south-
western hemisphere became suddenly overspread by heavy
dark clouds, which indicated the fast approach of a storm,
which was carried swiftly along by the angry wind, Which
smote the earth as though the very elements were at war
with each other ; soon the water began to gush from its
cistern. During the extreme part of the rain, some of the
prisoners in gaol observed something falling, resembling the
small atones that may be seen on the beach of a river.
What first attracted attention, was the rattling upon the
bricks in the yard. When the storm subsided, the pri_
soners found that numbers of living muscles had been re-
moved from their native element, and were ready for g..
thering within the gaol walls ; the number found is not ac-
curately known, as some went immediately to work on the
fresh dainty, opening, salting, and swallowing, until they
were consumed ; one person, however, picked up ten be-
fore the others were informed that the yard abounded with
fresh muscles—some of them, from appearance, must hare
weighed two ounces ; there were also several round stones,
one of which would weigh four or five ounces, and which
way yet be seen. On the same evening there were some
frogs taken captive whilst hopping about, apparently rather
dissatisfied at finding themselves confined within the gaol
walls. The ancients 'cannot recollect of such visiters mak-
ing their appearance within the walls before. Mr. Mont-
gomery, keeper of the prison, found some of the muscles
outside of the wall.—Pittsburg Gazette.

SILK STOCKINGS.

Hose or stockings of silk are generally supposed to
have been unknown in this country before the middle
of the sixteenth century ; and a pair of long Spanish
hose was presented as a gift worthy the acceptance of
a monarch by Sir Thomas Gresham to Edward VI.:
and Howe, the continuator of Stow's Chronicle, adds,
that Henry VIII. never wore any hose but such as
were of cloth. In an inventory of his apparel, however,
preserved in the Harleian Library, we find mention of
several pair of silk hose; one short pair of black silk and
gold woven together, one of purple silk and Venice gold,
woven into a cawl, (z. c. of open or network), lined
with blue silver sarcenet, edged with a passemain (lace)
of purple silk and gold, wrought at Milan ; a pair of
white silk and gold hose, knit, and six pair of black
silk hose, knit ; and in one still earlier, taken in the
eighth year of his reign, we find both satin and velvet
mentioned as the materials of which his hose were
composed. Now at this period it is rather difficult to
say, whether the expression hose means stockings or
breeches, as it was indifferently applied to each by the
writers of this century. Howe evidently means stock-
ings only, but these richly embroidered and lined hose,
mentioned in the inventory, were, we strongly suspect,
the upper portion of the coverings for the legs, which
we now frequently find slashed, puffed, and embroidered
distinctly from the lower ; for the same document in-
troduces us to the word stocking itself, and enlightens
us as to its derivation. One of the entries runs thus :
" a yarde and a quarter of green velvet for stocks to a
payr of hose for the king's grace ;" another, " the same
quantity of purple satin to cover the stocks of a pair of
hose of purple cloth of gold tissue for the king ;" and
numerous others occur of certain portions of stuff used
for " stockyng of hose," that is, adding the lower part
that covered the legs and feet to that which was fas-
tened by points to the doublet, the ultimate separation
of which confounded the hose with the breeches, and
left the stocking an independent article of apparel, a
at the present day. To proceed : these splendid hose,
of various coloured and embroidered cloths, velvets,
satins, silks, and golden and silver stuffs were attached
by points or laces, with tags called auglettes or aglets
(i. e. aiguilettes) to the doublet, of equal magnificence.
In the earliest inventory we have quoted, after the
enumeration of many splendid doublets, &c. for the
king's use, we read of " a double tof white tylsent,
cut upon cloth of gold, embraudered, with hose to the
same, and clasps and auglettes of golde, delivered to
the Duke of Buckingham."—Planche's History of
British Costume.

SAGACITY OF THE ELEPHANT.

A few days before my arrival at Enon, a troop of ele-
phants came down one dark and rainy night close to the
outskirts of the village. The missionaries heard them bel-
lowing and making an extraordinary noise for a long time
at the upper ends of the orchard ; but knowing well how
dangerous it is to encounter these animals in the night,
they kept close within their houses till daybreak. Next
morning, on examining the spot where they had heard the
elephants, they discovered the cause of all this nocturnal
uproar. There was at this spot a ditch or trench, about
five or six feet in width and twelve in depth, which the in-
dustrious missionaries had recently cut through the bank
of the river, on purpose to lead out the water to irrigate
some part of their garden ground, and to drive a corn mill.
Into this trench, which was still unfinished and without
without water, one of the elephants had evidently fallen,
for the marks of his feet were distinctly visible at the bot-
tom, as well as the impress of his huge body on its sides.
How he had got in it was easy to imagine, but how, being
once in, he had ever contrived to get out again, was the
marvel. By his own unaided efforts it seemed almost im-
possible for such an animal to have extricated himself.
Could his comrades, then, have assisted him ? There ap-
peared little doubt that they had ; though by what means,
unless by pulling with their trunks, it would not be easy to
conjecture. And in corroboratiou of this supposition, on
examining the spot myself, I found the edges of this trench
deeply indented with numerous vestiges, as if other ele-
phants had stationed themselves on either side,. some of
them kneeling, and others on their feet, and had thus, by
united efforts, hoisted their unlucky brother out of the
Pringle's African Sketches.

THE VEGETABLE WORLD.

In this, as in all other parts of creation, ample scope
is found for the exercise of the reasoning faculties,
at the same time abundant sources are supplied of in-
tellectual enjoyment. To discriminate the different
characters of plants, amidst the infinite diversity of
shape, of colour, and of structure, which they offer to
our observation, is the laborious, yet fascinating occu-
pation of the botanist. Here, also, we are lost in ad-
miration at the never-ending variety of forms succes-
sively displayed to view, in the innumerable species
which compose this kingdom of nature, and at the
energy of that vegetable power, which, amidst such
differences of situation, sustains the modified life of
each individual plant, and which continues its species
in endless perpetuity. Wherever circumstances are
compatible with vegetable existence, we there find
plants arise. It is well known that, in all the places
where vegetation has been established, the germs are
so intermingled with the soil, that whenever the earth
is turned up, even from considerable depths, and ex-
posed to the air, plants are soon observed to spring, as
if they had been recently sown, in consequence of the
germination of seeds which had remained latent and
inactive during the lapse of perhaps centuries. Islands
formed by coral reefs, which have risen above the level
of the sea, become, in a short time, covered with ver-
dure. From the materials of the most sterile rock,
and even from the yet recent cinders and lava of the
volcano, Nature prepares the way for vegetable ex-
istence. The slightest crevice or inequality is sufficient
to arrest the invisible germs that are always floating
in the air, and affords the means of sustenance to dimi-
nutive races of lichens and mosses. These soon over-
spread the surface, and are followed, in the course of a
few years, by succecsive tribes of plants of gradually
increasing size and strength ; till at length the island,
or other favoured spot, is converted into a natural and
luxuriant garden, of which the productions, rising from
grasses to shrubs and trees, present all the varieties of
the fertile meadow, the tangled thicket, and the widely
spreading forest. Even in the desert plains of the
torrid zone, the eye of the traveller is often refreshed
by the appearance of a few hardy plants, which find
sufficient materials for their growth in these arid re-
gions : and in the realms of perpetual snow which sur-
round the poles, the navigator is occasionally startled
at the prospect of fields of a scarlet hue, the result of a
wide expanse of microscopic vegetation.—Roget's
Bridgewater Treatise.

Two retirements from the Bench are confidently
expected in Dublin. The filling up of these vacancies will
cause much promotion.

TURNING OF AN ICEBERG.

" I never shall forget the turniv of an iceberg
during the dreadful gale which lasted for a month and
three days." " I don't know what that means, Sir."
" Why, you must know, Jacob, that the icebergs are
all fresh water, and are supposed to have been detached
from the land by the force of the weather and other
causes. Now, although ice floats, yet it floats deep ;
that is, if an iceberg is five hundred feet high above
the water, it is generally six times as deep below the
water,—do you understand ?" " Perfectly, Sir."
" Now, Jacob, the water is much warmer than the air,
and, in consequence, the ice under the water melts
away much faster ; so that if`an iceberg has been some
time afloat, at last the part that is below is not so
heavy as that which is above ; then it turns—
that is, it upsets and floats in another position."
" I understand you, Sir." " Well, we were
close to an iceberg, which was to windward of
us ; a very tall one indeed ; and we reckoned that we
should get clear of it, for we were carrying a press of
sail to effect it. Still all hands were eagerly watching
the iceberg, as it came down very fast before the
storm. All of a sudden it blew twice as hard as be-
fore ; and then one of the men shouted out " Turning,
turning !" and sure enough it was. There was its
towering summit gradually bowing towards us, until it
almost appeared as if the peak was over heads. Our
fate appeared inevitable, as the whole mountain of ice
was descending on the vessel, and would, of course,
have crushed us into atoms. We all fell on our knees,
praying mentally, and watching its awful descent ;
even the man at the helm did the same, although he
did not let go the spokes of the wheel. It had nearly
half turned over, right for us, when the ice below being
heavier on one side than the other, gave it a more
slanting impetus ; and shifting the direction of its fall,
it plunged into the sea about a cable's length astern of
us, throwing up the water to the heavens in foam, and
blinding us all with the violence with which it dashed
into our faces. For a minute, the run of the waves
was checked, and the sea appeared to boil and dance,
throwing up peaked pointed masses of water in all di-
rections, one sinking, another rising ; the ship rocked
and reeled as if she were drunk ; even the current of
the gale was checked for a moment, and the heavy
sails flapped and cleared themselves of their icy var-
nishing—then all was over. There was an iceberg of
another shape astern of us ; the gale recommenced, the
waves pressed each other on as before ; and we felt the
return of the gale, awful as it was, as a reprieve."....,
Jacob Faitlilitl.

CAUTION AGAINST SWINDLERS.

Yesterday morning Roe, the Guildhall officer, succeeded
in obtaining the re-delivery of about 5001. worth of woollen
goods from a gang of swindlers who have just taken a very
large warehouse in the neighbourhood of the Mansion-
house. The circumstances of the sale and delivery of the
goods by the cloth-factors at Leeds precluded the probabi-
lity of making the swindlers amenable in a criminal Court,
and it was by working on their apprehensions of being dis-
covered that Roe induced them to give up their prey. The
swindlers had detached two of their partners to Leeds to
make purchases, and it happened that a letter sent down to
one of them, who was staying at an hotel, fell into the hands
of a person of the same name who was putting up at the
same place, and who had transmitted it to one of the parties
who had been tricked out of their goods. The letter is
worth transcribing :
" Dear I was very anxious for your letter, which I
received this morning, and the rather as I received none
yesterday, which augured badly. Your letter I considered
as disastrous as could be, inasmuch as it did not say that the
1,0001. you had selected,at Gibson's would be sent, omitted
all mention of —'s brother, informed me you had expended
MU. worth of powder in shooting at " birds in a bush," and,
finally, I had received no letter by this post from the house
you referred to me. Judge further of my consternation
ovhen in the afternoon Llewellyn's clerk—the Llewellyn—
came up and said he was directed by their house, required
by Potter and somebody, to make inquiries into the respec-
tability of Mr. —, who had referred the said Potters to
me. There was a Scylla and a Charybdis to steer be-
twixt ! On the one hand to say what was necessary, and
on the other to say nothing to commit myself. If I erred,
it was by sailing too close to the rocks of Scylla by saying
too much ; but I hope subsequent precaution will repair
the damage, and preserve our keel unbroken. They had
no idea it was the Mr. --, the real pig. It was not for
me to inform them that it was the same, only in a new
character. It was therefore well that you did not settle
with them ; and you see in this another instance of the ad-
vantage of procrastination—my doctrine. If you had at-
tempted to make the donkey speak you would have been
swamped at once, and been blown directly. I have 2001.
by me, and shall have 50/. more on Monday night, and will
pay 250/. into Lloyd's on that day ; but I shall give no
orders respecting it to them. Trust not to making 1,000/.
a year. 'Tis fallacious. Llewellins will know you when
they see you ; and though they are paid by you, they will
set themselves right with the Potteries. Deacon has been
here bothering, but I gave him his quietus. Buy all you
can ; don't trust to second journeys, and don't burn this
letter. I must see it destroyed when I return."
The original concludes without any signature ; but it
happily fell into the hands of a person who was acquainted
with the writing of the inditer.

REACTION!!!

The Commercial Travellers' Society held their annual
meeting on Saturday last at the London Coffee-house,
Ludgate Hill, the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor in the
chair. After dinner the health of his Majesty was given, and
received with the respect due to the Sovereign. Some of the
party clapped their hands. The Queen's health followed, and
the same parties attempted to show their sense of the line of
conduct which her Majesty is understood to have pursued, on
a late important occasion, by a repetition of the clapping.
This produced some hissing, and a scene of mingled clapping
and hissing ensued, which ended in the triumph of the hissers
over their opponents, the latter being effectually silenced.
During the uproar the Lord Mayor got up and attempted to
restore order, by stating that it was not a political meeting,
and entreating those who accompanied him to desist from ex-
pressing their political feelings. His Lordship, however, had
a toast which he would have been glad to give, could he have
calculated upon its cordial reception. That toast was " His
Majesty's Ministers." His courage failed him. It was
omitted for the first time these thirty-four years I
