LADY PONSONIif s NEW WORK, " CLARE ABBEY."
—ln this story (says the John. Bull) the talented author of
" The Discipline of Life" has displayed all that power of
painting the passions of the human heart, and the hard
struggles between inclination and duty, of which her former
work gave such ample proof. The sufferings of the noble,
unselfish Reginald Vere, the severe self-discipline to which
Ernest de Grey has to subject his impressible yet powerful •
nature, and the conflicts which the heart of Camilla has to
sustain before it finds rest in the enjoyment of a purified
affection, after casting off the drops of wild and wayward
pawou, impart to the tale a fascinating interest, while its
lofty moral tendency raises it above the ordinary level of
works of fiction. "Clare Abbey" is decidedly one of the
most successful, one of the most attractive, and at the same
time one of the most high-toned novels of the season."
SERIOUS CHARGE OF SHOOTING A MEMBER.. OF
CirmsT CHURCH.—On Thursday afternoon Mr. Joseph
Caudwell, a money lender, was charged before the Rev. the
Vice-Chancellor and Dr. Wynter, two magistrates of the
county o f Berks, with wilfully and maliciously wounding
Mr. Alexander Henry Ross, 8.A., of Christ Church. It
appears that early that morning Mr. Ross, and some of his
companions, resorted to the house of Mr. Caudwell, which
stands on Follow-bridge, and is in Berkshire, and, in a frolic,
attempted to throw several pieces of cannon, standing in
front of his house, over the wall into the Isis, but while in the
act of trying to do so, Mr. Caudwell was aroused, and, having
opened a window, without saying a word, he deliberately
fired a blunderbuss at Mr. Ross. A portion of the shot struck
him on the neck, ear, and hand, the latter of which is very
much injured. Evidence of the facts having been given, and
Mr. Hansard, surgeon, stating that he considered Mr. Rose
seriously wounded, so much so that he could not certify that
he was out of danger, as, from the nature of the wound in
his hand, lock-jaw might be the result, the magistrates re-
manded the defendant for a week, and the same evening he
was conveyed to Abingdon Gaol by the University Marshal
and the Inspector of the University police.

bolf-yearly
CIATION.—The court of this association for the
education of orPben and Necessitous children took place on
Satur morning, „at ten o'clock, in the London Tavern;
Mr. Jarast eat in the chair. The secretary read
the pleorti, Ale
I had • stated that the receipts during the
that
the,. just terminated were 2,4771.35. 4d., and that
fhe budding fund now ameunted to 9,4001. The number of
cwidren in the asylum at Wanstead, on Christmas last, as
~-ell as at the present moment, amounted to 111, and by the
election which would take place that day of eight children
that number would be augmented to 119, consisting of 75
boys and 44 girls. The report congratulated the association
on the continuing public favour which their association met,
and informed the members that the progress of the children
in their education had been of the most satisfactory descrip-
tion. The amount subscribed to the building fund warranted
the board in commencing a new building as soon as a suita-
ble plot of ground could be obtained, and they were anxious
to obtain a site on some railway or commanding elevation,
which would attract the public observation. The secretary
informed the meeting that the offices were about to he re-
moved from their present locality to the most conspicuous
part of Cheapside. The report was then unanimously adopted.
and ordered to be entered on the minutes. The following
scrutineers were appointed :—Mr. Halt, Mr. Woollaton, Mr.
Adars, Mr. Stanifoid, Mr. Bligh, and Mr. Fenton. A vote
of thanks was afterwards passed to the chairman for his con.
duct in the chair.

appended to it.
