Address to Discharged Primers. By the Rev.

F. S. Batchelor.

An earnest little pamphlet, entitled " A New
Year's Address tc Prisoners Discharged," has re-
cently come into our hands : written by the zealous
and excellent Assistant-Chaplain of her Majesty's
Convict Prison at Chatham—and. published (for
distribution among the particular class for whose
perusal it is intended) with the ready sanction, or
we are much mistaken, of the Inspectors who pre-
side over this deeply-interesting and important de-
partment of her Majesty's Government. We have
read tke address throughout with the attention it
eminently well_ deserves, and we hesitate not to
pronounce it to be in every way calculated to .do
practical good to the released eimviets who listen
to its admonitions, and read it again, and yet again,
as its warm-hearted writer recommends. Mr.
Batchelor speaks with authority—the authority
arising from experience. And his is not an experi-
ence restricted simply to the convict prisons of the
United Kingdom—his labours of love and of Chris-

tian charity among the poor prisoners extending
across the ocean, to our very antipodes, to our
remote penal settlements, .as they were very re-
cently, in the magnificent colony of Australia.
The wholesome words of advice here addressed to
"Prisoners Discharged" 'can hardly prove other-
wii-e than persuasive to gold, and dissuasive from
evil, among all these who read them with their
spirits chastened to humility, by their recent
and perhaps 'heir protracted incarceration. To
have written a little book like this, brief though,
it be—extending over no more than a score of
pag s—and penned wisely, from first to last,
in the simpl st language, is something of which We
are almost disposed to envy Mr. Batchelor the re-
collection of the accomplishment. It is like one
of the " corp .rat works of mercy," capable of being
indefinitely multiplied in its application. May it
have many of those lowly readers whom its re-
verend author would himself most desiderate.

The Handbook of the Court, the Peerage, and the
House of Commons. P. King, Bridge-street.
This is the eighth year of the issue of this useful
little volume, which contain, a summary of all
necessary information resp, cting the Royal Family,
the official apppointmenrs, and the antecedents of
the members of both branches of the Legislature.
The families of the Peerage, the constituencies of
,he Commons, and all requisite details are given
in a concise and pract.cal manner. It is extremely
useful as a work of reference, and no doubt meets
the public encouragement it deserves.

EFFECTS OF FORTUNE-TECLING.

A man named John Hodgson was charged at the
Halifax police-court on Tuesday with having unlaw-
fully pretended to use subtle craft--to wit, pal
mistry—to deceive and impose on certain of Her
Majesty's subjects. From the evidence adduced
it appeared that the informant, Elizabeth
Bonny, a young woman about twenty years of
age, and a companion named Eden Ambler,
went to the lodgings of the prisoner to have
their fortunes told. He took them into a room
and told them to sit down, sayinghe suppo:oad the,y-
understood his terms. They replied they did hot,
on which he informed tern what his charge was,
and the young women having consented to pay the
sum, Hodgson examined their hands, muttered
some gibberish, and then took out a pack of cards,
which the girls by his direction cut five times. He
told Bonny she would have two offers of marriage
within the year, and Ambler that her cards were
very bad, two young men being anxious to marry
her, and one of them continually frustrating the
other's connubial designs. To defeat this opposi-
tion the wizard directed her to read the first chap-
ter of Ruth when she got home, and to wish throe
times. The girls then paid their money and left
the fortuneteller, on the understanding that they
were to return in a fortnight. On their w,.y home
Ambler said she felt alarmed, and was afraid to
read the first chapter of Ruth lest the devil should
take her. Afterwards she appeared nervous, and
became gradually worse until Thursday. last, when
she was quite deranged. She laved and screened
in great fright crnstantly, and was almost unmen-
ageable. On one occasion she could not be kept in
ted, and left the house almost naked. She was a
teacher in a Sabbath school at Halifax. The pri-
soner denied all recollection or knowledge of the
girls, and also that Ambler's illness could have been
the reYtilt of any FUCEI visit, owing to the time that
had elapsed since it was alleged to have taken place.
The superintendent of police produced a lx.d.t found
upon the prisoner, under his outer clothing, after
be had been taken into custody. It was composed
of a coarse material, and on the side worn next to
the body was a magnet, and three crosses and four
medals carefully sewn up, together with directions
for fortune-telling, notes received from his corres-
pondents, and pieces of parchment covered with
hieroglyphics. The Bench committed the prisoner
to the House of Correction far three months, with
hard labour, and expressed their regret that the
law did not allow them to award a severer punish-
meat.

TO THE EDITOR or THE SUN.

Sin,—Mr. Shoed, solicitor on behalf of the committee
of the Freemasons' Tavern meeting, applied this day at
Marlborough-street, to be allowed to make a statement,
in reply to the remarks made from the bench at the
conclusion of the case arising out of the conduct of
certain ill-disposed persons in the Park on Sunday. Mr.
Shaer) stated that the gentleman who had- un•iertaken
the responsibility of selling that meeting, and afterwerr's
of abandoning it, felt that those remarks were founded
on an erroneous impre-sion, which they solicited the
same opportunity of correcting.
Mr. Beadon, at the suggestion of his clerk, refused
to hear Mr. Shaen's statement ; but gave the committee
credit for good intentions. If they had any explanations
to make, and if they were sent to tne papers which bad
publish-d his observations, ho bad no doubt they would
be made public. lie could not, however, receive the
explanations proposed. • .
Tne committee wished it •to be known that they took
the step of calling the said meeting only in consequence
of the gravity of the danger to which the country way
exposed by diplomatic proceedings, in reference to the
late Conspiracy Bill, which left no time for the operation
of ordinary public meetings ; that they personally co-
operated with the witice in the preservation of the public
peace, and had taken every possible precaution to avert
those acts of disorder which may attend all large assem-
blies, however patriotic their object and unexceptionable
their character. The remarks of Mr. Beadon were calcu-
lated to encourage future outrage, by tkrowing the blame
on the gentlemen who sought to avert it in this instance.
We are. Sir, your obedient servants

The report of the directors of the Salisbury and Yeovil

be he held on the 18th inst., is as follows :—The directors,
in their last report, expressed their hope that the line be-
tween Salisbury and Gillingham might be finished, and
ready for opening in the early part of the autumn. The
subjoined report of the engineer, Mr. Locke, confirms their
anticipations, and, unless any unforeseen circumstaneee
should retard the progress of their works, the line will he
opened accordingly, provided such arrangements can be
made with the South-Western Railway Company as will
justify the directors in commencing the traffic. Two bill*
were submitted to the shareholders for their approval at n
meeting held for that purpose on the 2d of June last. One.,
for an extension of time to complete the works. The other,
promoted by the South- Western Company, to authorise the
purchase of lease, by them, of this line. Both these bills
have received the sanction of the Legislature. Annexed is
a statement of the receipts and expenditure during the past
half-year.

The capital account shows that £253,517 Os. 4d. have
been raised out of the £533,333 6s. Bd., for which
powers have been given, and shows an expenditure of
£229,054 18s. lld., leaving a balance of £24,462. ls. sd.
The items in the expenditure are of a very moderate
character, save one for the old West Mill of Sherborne,
for which the large sum of £4,615 appears to have been paid.

CORN EXCP 1 NGE.

Daring the present week the arrivals of English wheat, coast
wise and by land carriage, have been on a very moderate scale, and
the show or sampios hero to-day was limited. For all kinds, how-
ever, the demand ruled very inactive, at Monday's decline in the
quotations.

We were well supplied with foreign wheat. Good and fine
samples were held at full currencies; but the demand for them
was by no means active. Inferior parcels were very dull.
Barley was scarce and in good request, at very full prices. Malt,
however, was a slow inquiry on former terms.
There was a good demand for oats at extreme rates.
Beans and peas very firm, but not dearer. Flour sold slowly at
Monday's currency.

LLYNVI VALLEY.

The half-yearly meeting was held yesterday at the Great
Western Hotel, Paddington—Mr. A. Macgregor in the

chair.

Mr. G. F. SAUNDERS, the secretary, read the report of
the directors, to the following effect :—A settletnent of the
accounts for the half-year ended on 30th Junegoot has been
circulated, as usual, among the proprietors. ' The revenue
has been only £G,279 103.11 d. against £7,045 54. ld. during
the corresponding period of the past year. This difference
may be wholly attributed to the depression of trade, which
has for upwards of nine months affected all railways. But,
on the other hand, there has been a considerable dimi-
nution of expenditure upon works of reconstruction ;
and the net profit, after deducting interest on mort-
gages, amounts to £3,453 lls. 44. against £3,215 '2s. Oi. for
the corresponding six months of last year. The balance
at the eredit of general revenue account is now £12,994 7s.
4d. The directors announced in their last report that they
had hatted a prospectus for the preference of 5 per cent.
shares. They have now the pleasure to inform the proprie-
tors that applications have been made for a considerable
amount; and there being no longer any doubt that am ;,1e
means will be forthwith available for the construction of the
new line, the directors have concluded a contract for that
purpose wi h Mr. D. Baldwin, of Lewisham. The work is
already commtnced, and it will be prosecuted with energy.
The directors recommend a dividend out of the profits of the
lin'f-3 ear at the rate of 6 per cent., free of Income lax.
