UNION HALL.

Herr Cline, the father of the celebrated rope-
dancer of that name, was brought before the Magis-
trates by the parish officers of Newington, for the
purpose of having an order of affiliation made upon
him for the maintenance of an illegitimate child, of
which Madame Chabert, the wife of the fire-eater,
alleged him to be the father.
Madame Chabert attended to give evidence,
accompanied by her child, a little boy about five
months of age. There appears to be a great dispa-
rity in the agts of Madame and the defendant ; the
former being a buxom well-looking woman, between
thirty and forty, while Herr Cline, sen., seems to
be fast verging on sixty years of age.
Madame Chabert, having been sworn, stated that
the defendant was the father of her child, and that
in consequence of his refusal to contribute to its
support she was obliged to apply for parochial as-
sistance.

The Magistrate inquired whether Monsieur Cha-
bert was in England or not, and whether he was
aware of the improper intimacy which subsisted
between his wife and the defendant ?
Madame Chabert said that her husband went off
to America soon after his last performance at the
Argyll Rooms; that he was now exhibiting at that
side of the Atlantic, where his extraordinary feats
excited the astonishment of the Yankees ; and,
although he made a good deal of money, yet he had
discarded her, and stopped the remittance which he
was in the habit of sending quarterly.
Magistrate—Then he is aware of what has hap-
pened in his absence? Madame Chabert—Yes,
some kind friend gave him the information, and the
result has been that which I have just mentioned.
She then said that Herr Cline was an intimate
friend of her husband when he was in this country,
and that, after his departure, he (the defendant),
had continued his visits to her, and ultimately suc-
ceeded in effecting his purpose.
The Magistrate said that if the defendant was not
prepared to pay the amount of the bill of expenses
produced by the beadle of the parish, he must, in
default thereof, be committed for three months to
hard labour to Brixton.
Defendant--4 can't help it, Sir; it is impossible
for me to pay the money.
Committed for three months.
In the course of the day Herr Cline raised the
amount that he was indebted to the parish officers
for the support of the child, and he was then li-
berated.

CHURCH RATES.—Opposition to Church-
rates is extending to every part of the kingdom. At a
late meeting of the inhabitants of Helston, it was proposed
to make a rate of 4d. in the pound for the service of the
Church. The Dissenters present said that as there was
every reason to believe the Legislature would free them
from this unjust tax in the next Session of Parliament, they
thought that no more should he raised by a rate than was
necessary for three months, at the end of which time a
new rate could be made if no change teak place in the
state of the law in the mean time. This proposition not
being acceded to, it was then moved, that as it was unjust
to tax Dissenters for the expense incurred in places of
worship which they did not attend, no rate for that pur-
pose should be raised. The Mayor, who presided, refused
to put this motion, which he said was illegal, when it
was moved as an amendment to the original proposition
for a 4d. rate, that the rate he made for Id. in the pound,
which was carried by a large majority. Had the opposi-
tion for refusing a rate been carried, the churchwardens
would have been empowered to make a rate themselves ;
but by reducing the rate, or by adjourning to a distant
day, this is avoided.—Devonport Independent.
In the village of Steeple Claydon, Bucks, a
very malignant scarlet fever is now prevalent. A person
of the name of Butcher, who is also a butcher by trade,
bad five of his children destroyed by it, in as many days
last week, and they were all lying dead in one room on
Saturday last. The symptoms were very like those of
cholera, with a bad state of the throat, and a purplish
rash, and few of them were ill more than 36 hours.
Mr. &owe, a medical gentleman from Buckingham, who
visited the place and saw the dead bodies, at once pro-
nounced the cause of this mortality to be the exhalations
from a most offensive slaughter-house and pigstye, and
several heaps of manure, which filled the whole house
with noxious materials. It would be well for the public
if persons would consider the nose as one of the centinels
of the body, and would remember that what is offensive
to it is injurious to the health, and ought to be removed.
In the present instance, there was not even a suspicion
in the minds of the parents that they were surrounded
by an aerial poison, though the offensive smell was
recognizable at many yards distance from the house.
Another child in an adjoining house, named Bugging;
has since died of the disease.— o.lford Journal.

OLYMPIC THEATRE.

A new and pleasant trifle, called Paired oft; of a
character peculiar to the entertainments of this theatre,
was last night produced here, and was favourably received.
The hero of the piece, Mr. Mortimer Mimms, admirably
sustained by Mr. LisToN, a staid bachelor of 50, most
connubially disposed, but as cautious withal of committing
him.elf by a too premature disclosure of his passion for
Louisa (Miss PINCOTT), the daughter of his next-door
neighbour and intimate friend, Mrs. Wedlove (Mrs.
KNIGHT), sues for her hand as if for a friend, whose name,
it that stage of the proceedings, be is not permitted to
reveal. The opportune arrival at this juncture of a former
ever r f the young Lady, Lieutllford (Mr. J. WEBSIER
friend besides of Minims, who has promised him a sur-
prise, naturally induces them to believe that he is t t‘g
party who has been interceded for, and all are delighte.
in consequence. Cross-purposes in abundance ensue,
which produce some ludicrous scenes, and the piece
ends in the " pairing off" of the whole dramatis per-
sonce, Ilford with Louisa, Miming with Mrs. Wedlove,
!rid, liko master like man, Jeffrey, the man-servant of
Mimi?, with Poplin, the waiting-woman of Mrs. Wed-
love. Of the acting of this trifle it would be impos,ible
to speak too highly. LISTON, as we have before said, was
admirable in a part well suited to him. Mrs. KNIGHT
looked and played well in Mrs. Wedlove; and Mr. SALTER
and Miss FsaGusoN very spiritedly supported the parts of
Jeffrey and Poplin. Miss PINCOTT and Mr. J. WEBSTER.
had but little assigned them, but of that little they wel
acquitted themselves.

THE FUNDS.

Consols opened this morning at the improved price they
left off yesterday, 90 to k for the Account, owing to a
belief that Prince Talleyrand has brought with him a
pacific answer from the Emperor of Russia to the Court
of the Tuileries.

In the Foreign Market, the prices are the same as yes-
:erday.

HALF-PAST ONE.
The private information received yesterday from the
Continent, has had a decided effect in improving the
Funds, both yesterday and to-day, particularly the pacific
answer of Russia, by which the expected war in Europe
will be prevented.
Consols, which were in the early part of the morning at
90 to e, reached 90fr for the Account ;at present they
may be quoted 90a fr.
The French King's speech, it is said, will be like most
of his other speeches, full of promises and expectations ;
but, upon the whole, it is expected tote of a pacific nature.
In the Foreign Market, Dutch Stock has improved to
51k ; Portuguese, 56i ; Spanish, 234 fr.

A brigand named Vincent della Bianca, better

IRISH LANDLORDS.

(From the Tipperary Free Press.)
ROBERT 0 T WAY CAVE,.ES Q., THE

GENEROUS LANDLORD.
We sometime since had the pleasure of announcing the
t rtival of this distinguished gentleman aad his excellent
Tidyat Castle-Otway, their family mansion in this
%linty. We have now a higher gratification in relating
that their visit has been productive of those beneficial
°twits which we then anticipated. A considerable portion
t! Mr. Otway Cave's estate, which was held by a mid-
dleman, has recently come into his hands; the occupying
tenants, owing to a grinding rack-rent, were not only
deeply indebted, but steeped to the lips in poverty and
Wretchedness; on the 10th instant they were assembled at
eaatle-Otway, and language cannot describe the feelings
of the poor fellows when they were informed, that
henceforward they were to consider themselves the imme-
diate tenants of Mr. Cave, that their rents were conse-
Tient!), reduced in about the proportion of a third part,
tad that the arrears due, amounting to several hundred
Pounds, were blotted out for ever ! Hear this ye land-
lord. of Tipperary, and follow even at the eleventh hour,
the sacred command in the Scriptures, " Go ye and do
I,iiewise." The immediate tenantry of this generous land-
kid are happy and respectable, and though he may in
tome measure be considered an absentee, he is well
represented by his kind hearted and justly popular
lOW, Mr. John Lanigan, the brother of hint whose
biernory will be long cherished in Tipperary. The
4frable manners and condescension of Mr. and Mrs.
Otway Cave, (true distinguishing marks of high birth,)
have endeared them to all about Castle Otway, where even
the poorest find easy access, and depart imploring bless-
ttgs on the generous owners. To goodness and virtue do
vie offer the feeble but unpurchaseable tribute of our praise
:"..without them, rank, fortune and power are worthless
14 our eyes. As a senator, the career of Mr. Otway Cave
%a been marked by independence, honesty of purpose,
tad an ardent desire to serve Ireland, which earned for him
the respect of his political opponents—the warm admira-
tion and attachment of his friends.

MAR YLEB ONE.

A PHILANTIIROPIST.—Mary Anne Grace, a
masculine•looking woman, was yesterday placed at
the bar, charged on suspicion of having stolen a sil-
ver watch, seals, &c., with seven shillings in silver,
the property of Mr. William Beevers, who described
himself as a cabinet-maker, carrying on business at
No. 7, Lisson-strect, Lisson-grove.
The prosecutor on the previous night, between
eleven and twelve o'clock, as he was returning from
the City towards home, somewhat " fresh," but by
no means intoxicated, met the prisoner in Crawford-
street, who represented to him, with tears in her
eyes, that she was in the greatest distress, and at
that very time had an infant lying on its death-bed
at home. From motives of pure philanthropy he
accompanied her to her residence in Mitchell-street,
where he found the sick child in its cradle as de-

scribed by the mother. Having ministered to her
necessities by a trifling pecuniary donation, he sat
himself down for some little time in the apartment,
when all of a sudden he found himself very " queer,"
and in a short time his senses wholly forsook him.
Mr. RAWLINSON—And what do you imagine was
the cause of your insensibility ? Prosecutor—Why,
your Worship, that's the point I want to come at ;
hut it's quite out of my power. But of this I'm
quite certain, that as soon as I came a little to myself
I found that my watch and seven shillings in silver
had tied, and I then called in a policeman, who
found the watch under the pillow of the prisoner's
bed.

In reply to the charge the prisoner denied having
told the dismal tale of distress as the prosecutor had
asserted. He had passed the night with her, but
denied having " hocussed" him as he had insinuated.
Mr. RAWLINSON (to the prosecutor)—You are a
married man, I believe. Pray is your wife acquainted
with this midnight adventure of yours ? Prosecu-
tor—Oh yes! and, like a good soul as she is, don't
believe a single word of it, your Worship; and how
should she ? Now, I'll put it to your Worship, is
it at all likely that a man of fifty years of age would
be guilty of such a thing ?—(Laughter.)
Mr. RAWLINSON (to an officer)—ls the wife pre-
sent? Officer—She is outside, your Worship.
Mr. RAWLINSON—Bring her hi.
A respectable-looking woman, about the middle
age, was accordingly introduced, when
Mr. RAWLINSON said—l'm told you know about
this business of your husband's. Is it true ? Wife
—Oh ! your Worship, there's no truth in it ; there
can't be; of that I'm quite sure.

Mr. RAWLINSON—there take him home with
you, and teach him a lesson of fidelity, do.
Wife (looking lovingly at her husband—" Come,
dear, come along;" so saying the happy pair left the
office arm in arm together, smiling as good-humour-
edly as any of the auditors.
The prisoner, who was an old offender, was com-
mitted for a month.

auditors nor Members would he disposed to spare. The ' /..")
only efficient check was short Parliaments.—(Loud cheer..
ing.) If constituents were dissatisfied, they would find a
remedy at the next election ; and if elections were more
frequent, the people would have the power of sending
persons who would at all times represent their opinions.
Amongst the objections that were urged against shortening
the duration of Parliaments, was one that Parliatnente
were really shorter than seven years.—(Hear, hear.)
But there was no certainty of the period being shorter, and
the consequence was that every member felt that he would
be for a long period independent of public control, and
consequently was beyond the wholesome control of public
opinion. If it were reasonable and just that men should
have votes, it was reasonable and just that they should he
enabled to exercise them free from any influence but of
their own judgment.—(Loud cheers.) It would be an
easy task to show the futility of all the objections which
had been urged against the ballot, but he would content
himself at present with saying that they never could ex-
tract the unbiassed opinion of the people at elections,
without its protection.—(Loud cheers.)
The Right Hon. C. P. THOMSON then proposed the
health of the Chairman, whom he characterised as the
liberal advocate of all that was beneficial to the humbler
cltsses of society.
The toast having been drunk with great applause, Mr.
HAywoon returned thanks, and the meeting immediately
broke up, no one . lee being called to the chair.

ing, that two veterans, both born in the same year, should die
within less than the space of a month of each other in Bingley.
It is also a remarkable coincidence, that both of them were en-
listed in or about 1758, and both of them discharged in 1754,

FECUNDITY OF THE LIONESS.--.An extra-
ordinary birth took place at Wombwell's menagerie on
Tuesday, at Keigbley. The lioness produced four fine
cubs. Wallace is the sire. This makes nine she has pro-
duced in less than nine months.

The Monileur has published in its official
columns a document addressed to the King by Marshal
Soult, Minister of War, on the administration of military
justice during the year 1632. This is the more interesting
because it is the first time such a document has been pub-
lished, and because it makes complete the returns of the
administration of criminal justice made annually by the
Keeper of the Seals. In 1832 the army consisted of
388,402 men, of which number 6,858 men were tried
for various offences, which gives an average of 1 in 70 ;

the sentence of death has not been carried into effect in a
greater ratio than lin 4,000. Of the accused, 1,555
have been sentenced within a month after the committal
of the offence, 2,267 within two months, and 3,111 at
periods exceeding two months. The number of witnesses
examined in these trials is 24,064 ; and the expense of the
proceedings amounts to 156,217 f. 97c. All the sen-
tences have not been carried into execution ; 496 have
received free pardon, and 656 a commutation of punish-
ment. Of the 106 capital convictions, 13 only were
carried into effect. The following statement will show
the nature of the offences and their relative proportit.ns :
Simple desertion, 1,154 ; deserting with arms and bag-
gage, 472 ; desertiun to a foreign country, 92 ; desertion
by lapse, 68 ; desertion to the enemy, 33 ; desertion by
conspiracy, 20 ; selling property b?lenging to the stile,
2,033; theft, 1,266 ; insubordination, 873 ; treason, and
attempting to cause desertion, 45. Thus it will be seen
that the smillest offences have been the most frequent.
Ordinary crimes cognizable by the common law of the land
are- classed as follows :—Thefts from private individuals
401 ; assassinations and murders, 235 ; violation, Iw., 18.

SURREY SESSIONS, OCT. 15.

The autumnal ses,ions for this county opened
yesterday at the Court-house, King...ton. There was
a full bench of magi-trate,,, airinnet ~fintrt were
Lord ARDEN, Lord KING, Mr. HAWES, M.P., &c.
Mr. BARNARD took the chair, and in deliveting
h s charge stated that the calendar was e)cremrly
light, which he attributed rather to the frequent
gaol deliveries than to any diminution of crime._

A petition from the prisoners confined for debt
in Horsemonger-lane Gaol was presented, complain-
ing that. they were not allowed to see their friends
after the hour of three o'clock in the afternoon,
from Michaelmas to Lady-day. The petitionet s
were denied the rights of Englishmen, ina,much a,
they were thus debaired from seeing their legal ad-
visers and taking the necessary steps to procute their
liberation. The petitioner- further stated that this
way a by-law peculiar to Huisemonger.lane Gaol;
that it did not obtain in the King's Bench or
Marghalsea, and was a direct infringement On the
statute.

After a few words from Mr. HAWES and other
magistrates, the petition was referred to the visit-
ing magistrates, that they might report on it at
the next General Quarter Sessions.
From the necounis of the treasurer of the county,
the sum of 5,0001. appeared due from the county,
but the twopenny rate then being collected would
amount to 14.0001.

Mr. rUCKERELL moved for a reduction of the
salary of the chaplain of the Brixton House of Cor-
rection to the sum of 150/. per annum. He did so
becau,e he thought the amount at present paid
(2001.) was too much.
The motion was lost by a great majority.
Mr. Stone was elected surveyor for the district of
Bermondsey, and !he Rev. Mr. Foster was elected
chaplain to the Brixton Gaol. The majority of this
latter gentleman over his opponent, the Rev. Mr.
Morgan, was only four.
The Court then adjourned to this day.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

This town, on Thursday, was in a state of unusual
bustle—dealers in iron from the metropolis, from
the north, from the manufacturing districts of York-
shire arid Lancashire, all converged into this great
focus of, and mart for, trade ; anxious, from that
speculative spirit which marks in no slight degree
the makers of, and deakrs in, iron, to take the true
impression of the times on that spot where mighty
interests, wants, and engagements naturally con-
centrated. .

The spectacle was, indeed, animating; to those
who marked the rueful aspect of 1831 and 1832,
the desponding tone, lengthened visage, the pause
of indecision and apprehension, the sluggish bar-
gain, and the scanty attendance—the scene of
Thursday was strongly awl pleasingly contrasted.
It seemed as if the sunny days and glittering
hues of 1824 and 1825 had again returned—moil-

This is all good in itself; and most heartilY do
we congratulate the ironmasters on the prosperous
change which has come upon them; they 11,
gone through a fearful ordeal—may no unlooke
for events sadden the days to come !
It was expected that forge pigs would be 41.11

If we carefully look at the political aspect
times, both as respects foreign and domestic stol',o
we should say, that there does not appear reasoP,':
doubt the stability of the present state of thing®
but our business now is not to write a disserterk
on the iron trade, but to give a statement of rl4-1
leaving to others to draw their own conclusil'
from what they discern, or think they discern, in I',h,
signs of the times.
As our space and time are brief, we will trie4,
add an anecdote we have heard of a shrewd ir
master in this neighbourhood, who, being in Ire4°.
:
with a manufacturer desirous of purchasing pig 1(.4
made these remarks :—" The question is not 010
what price will you give, or what price will
take, but the question really is, what can we sPI
to keep you all going?" This is so charactero,
that it needs no comment.
