IRE AT HATFIELD HOUSE.—Up to last night
-e remains of the late Marchioness of Salisbury were still
Undi
th seovered, as the dangerous state the walls precluded
ttiF Possibility of proceeding with the examination of the
,s,l°B without incurring great danger. The Marquis of
eishury, with that anxious desire to prevent any injury to
this Workmen, which he has evinced from the moment that
unfortunate calamity occurred, has issued the most
tTsitive orders that no one shall be permitted to go between
e walls during their present state. An attempt has been
made
Dil to get ropes over the walls by means of a kite, for the
10,1;1108e of pulling them down, but it failed, and the heat
4'14 still exists from the smouldering timbers, would render
ail' attempt to remove the mass of ruins, a work of great
„04,eulty. It has been found necessary to refuse the nume-
O(a applications for permission to see the ruins, but the
bil/,°,143 Marquis is to be in London this day, and the public
trot- -be admitted between the hours of eleven and four o'clock
°fro the gate next to the Salisbury Arms Inn, at the top
the hill which forms the entrance to Hatfield.
Our readerS will be glad to learn that previously to
ii"; Hume's representation to the Judges at the Old
in the name of the Grand Jury, on the subject of
vellile delinquents, the subject had been taken up by a
i„e,rnher of individuals, and who had actually had. an
lterview with Lord John Russell, the Home Secretary,
41:4' it. We have not been furnished with the particulars
kvnat passed upon the occasion ; but we have reason to
active‘v that the mink was eXtremely satisfactory, and that.
to measures are in progress towards rescuing from early
i4;ltamination the crowds of destitute children which now
Kest the streets and suburbs of the metropolis and else-
tti ere, and for training them up to useful labour and vir-
04s habits. We shall rejoice to see so wise and salutary a
measure
as this either emanating from, or supported by, the
4ernnaent, which is bound alike by interest and duty to
its4t,eh over a class of the community so little able to protect
13,.;e1f, and whose crimes arise more from neglect than any
"ginal fault of their own.— Mooting Paper.
i.„,iMLAND.—If any shadow of a doubt had existed
tilittive to the oppressive and tyrannical system adopted by
ti,:, lnperor Nicholas in refrard to Poland, I should think
‘ his late speech at Warsaw had removed it most
aeetually. But, calculated as was that speech to _create
i
azernent and inspire indignation, the acts of his Govern-
in: violation of every right, justice, and feeling of hu-
yil:tY, are. still more monstrous. It cannot have escaped
ri.eollection of any friend to Poland, that during the first
of re-instatement of Russian oppression in that
ill-
-"tatad) a measure Was i esorted to, among others with the

view of Russianizing the natives, which was, the sending
away into the interior of Russia a number of young child-
ren, to receive the benefit of a Russian " education" there.
The cry of indignation everywhere raised against such a
proceeding seemed to have put a stop to it. But it is only
because it was continued in secrecy that it was not heard of
for some time after. The arrival here of M. Durand, late
French Consul in Warsaw, has put us in possession of facts
which prove that the practice has never been discontinued.
It has, on the contrary, become a regular system of policy.
At every half-year 200 young children are taken out of
each palatinate, and sent into the interior of Russia, as far
as the Caucasus and the military colonies ; and as the king-
dom of Poland is composed of eight palatinates, the annual
number thus taken away amounts to 3,200. Parental ties,
early attachments, religion, and every thing that endears us
to the native land, are barbarously disregarded by the op-
pressor of Poland. In stating the authority on which this
fact rests,.nothing remains to be done but to call upon it the
judgment of public opinion throughout the civilized world.
Let the Russian authorities prove its incorrectness if they
can.—(Front the Paris Correspondent of a Morning
Contemporary.)
CORONER'S INQUEST.—The adjourned inquest on
the body of Mrs. Elizabeth Langton, a widow lady, who
was found hanging in the cellar of her own house, was
resumed on Thursday night, at the White Horse and Half-
Moon, High-street, Borough. Her daughters and son
were re-examined, and some further testimony was ad-
duced to prove the melancholy state of mind in which the
deceased had been since she was seized with paralysis. The
Coroner summed up, and the Jury returned a verdict of
" Temporary Insanity."
Whilst most of their townsmen were innocently
dreaming of the good to be effected through the instrumen-
tality of wise Councillors and more stringent powers of
local jurisdiction as the sole end of the new Charter, Mr.
Marsland acts as if its intent were no ether than to con-
vert Stockport into a rotten borough, of which himself is to
be Member and Patron during his own good pleasure ;
and' the patriot attorney can conceive no use or end of a
Corporation Bill but a Town Clerkship, with which to
endow Mr. Coppock, his heirs, administrators, and assigns.

On Sunday morning last, the parish Church of
Acomb was opened as usual for divine service, and the
stove used for warming the Church was lighted. The ser-
vice had been proceeded in, and the Clergyman had retired
into the vestry for the purpose of robing for the pulpit,
when a lady, who had been prevented attending earlier,
was on her road to the Church, to hear the sermon. She
happened to look up, and observed a dense smoke issuing
from the roof of the Church, and immediately on entering
the sacred edifice, communicated her fears to the Clergy-
man, that it was on fire. It appears that the fire was
caused by the stove pipe
_which goes through the roof,
having become hot, and set one of the rafters on fire. It
was a most fortunate circumstance that it was discovered
so soon, as, had the fire made much progress, it would
have been impossible to have saved the Church from total
destruction, in consequence of the very scanty supply of
water.—Doncaster Gazette.
On Wednesday morning last Mrs. Putman, the wife
of a musiciip, residing at No. 2, Pearl-crescent, Bagnigge
Wells, when passing along Skinner-street, Somers-town,
received a stab in the lower part of the abdomen, inflicted
by a sharp instrument : the wound was about an inch in
width and four in depth. The monster who perpetrated
this atrocious crime was a tall middle-aged man, wearing a
blue cloak, and having the appearance of a foreigner : un-
fortunately he effected his escape. Happily, the victim of
his abominable outrage is likely to recover.
A Rum STORY.—Mr. Hunt, of North Carolina,
said at a temperance meeting at New York, not long
since, that the lovers of rum are distinguished for inventing
modes to obtain it. In illustration, he said, a man in Orange
County, North Carolina, came home with a keg of rum,
but was immediately summoned to attend Court as a juror,
and he was greatly puzzled to know what to do with his
rum, for his wife, being an intemperate woman, would find
it, though he should hide it. He finally lashed a strap
around it, and suspended it from a beam above the good
wife's reach, and she being lame and infirm, was supposed
unable to get at the rum. After he was gone she placed
the washing-tub underneath, and took a gun loaded with a
bullet, held it underneath, and pulled the trigger. The
ball pierced the keg, and let down the contents into the tub.
THE ST. SlMONlANS.—Thesereligionists are now

in Egypt. M. Selves is become Solimari Pacha ; his ne-
phew, M. Jules, lately arrived from Lyons, has also turned
Turl; he has an appointment of 500 piasters per month.
Such is the motive for his sudden fervour in the cause of
Islamism. Two other St. Simonians, MM. Urbain and
Macheret, have also taken the turban. The Pere Enfantin
is at Carnak, where be meditates among the ruins, and
leads the life of a hermit. St. Simonianism, driven from
the banks of the Seine, by the contempt of the public, is
dying away in the arms of Mahomedanism on the banks of
the Nile. Prosperity is no more favourable to it than
adversity.
A melancholy accident occurred on Tuesday morn •
ing, between seven and eight o'clock, on the river Ayr, at
Failford, by which four men were suddenly deprived of life.
Six men had embarked in a flat-bottomed boat, for the pur-
pose of crossing the river to commence work in the neigh-
bouring wood, and when rather more than half way across,
the frail bark suddenly upset, from the force of the current,
which was very much swollen, when four were unfortunately
drowned—the -other two, father and son, after a desperate
struggle, succeeded in reaching the opposite bank of the
river.—Ayr Observer.
An excellent dinner of plumb pudding and roast
beef, with ale, was given to the inmates of Norwich work-
house on Sunday last, by J. J. Gurney, Esq. Those who
could not attend at the table had their portion sent to
them, so that all partook of the welcome bounty.
FEVER IN SCOTLAND.--FOr some weeks past,
a virulent- fever has prevailed in Perth.. On Sabbath
week, nine bodies were interred in the Greyfriars' burying-
ground ; indicating a greater mortality than prevailed dur-
ing the worst period of the cholera.—Glasgow Courier.
GAMEKEEPERS AND POACHERS.—During the
night of Thursday last, another desperate affray took place
at Long Shaw, in the Hantfield parish, near Tunbridge
Wells, between four keepers of the Earl Delawarr and a
gang of poachers, armed with fire-arms and bludgeons. The
gamekeepers, we are happy in stating, succeeded in cap-
turing one of the poachers, named Murrelis, and who has
since been committed to Lewes, to take his trial ; another
was severely wounded.—Bent Herald.
IRISH REFORM ASSOCIATION.—The prospectus
is now receiving signatures in Dublin. Copies have been
sent to several Members of Parliament. Mr. Evans pro-
poses some alteration in the terms, concurring at the- same
time in the objects of the Association.—Frecnian.
CAUTION IN CASE OF FlRE.—When a fire
breaks out in premises which, in consequence, may be full
of the most d'nse smoke; a room may be easily entered and
property and life preserved by persons crawling or creeping
on the floor, in which position the smoke will have the
least possible effect, and not sufficient to prevent their ope-
rations to get at the fire and extricate life in danger. A
woman whose clothes has caught fire should instantly drop
to the ground, and roll about the carpet or rug to extin-
guish it.
A SNUG FAMILY PARTY.—A gentleman in Man-
chester observed that he was constantly meeting one or the
other of some brothers who have a warehouse in that
town. A few days since, said he to one of them, " How
is it that I am always meeting you or your brothers ; how
many of you are there ?" " Only five in Manchester,"
was the reply. " And how many more elsewhere ?" con-
tinued the querist. Seventeen others in Htiddersfield,"
said the party questioned. This made in all twenty-two
sons all living, as well as their father, who is a strong hale
old man.—Shoe field Iris.
• About seven o'clock in the evening of Wednesday
week, the town of Alford was again alarmed by the cry of
" Fire," from another fiendish act of incendiarism, which
took place on the farm of Mr. Blades, at Saleby, the next
parish, when one bean stack, containing eight loads, was
fired and totally consumed ; there was not the least chance
of saving any part, it burning so rapidly from the brisk
wind that blew at the time. In this case, as in all others
here, the attempt.to injure is frustrated, for Mr. B. is fully
insured in the Protector Office.--Lincoln Gazette.
EXTRAORDINARY EVENT.—In the early part of
the year 1833, a person named Howie, with his wife and a
little girl, the daughter of the wife by a former husband,
went from Scotland to reside in the Isle of Man. Howie
bad been in trade, but was much reduced in circumstances,
but the little airl had, by the will of her father, property
to the amount of 1,0001. bequeathed to her. Howie and
his wife appeared much attached to the child, who, shortly
after their removal to the Isle of Man, became sick, and
was supposed to have died. Howie then applied for, and,
of course, obtained possession of the property, in right of
his wife ; but some suspicions being, in a short time after-
wards, raised respecting the fate of the little girl, the grave
was opened, and the coffin was found to contain only a log
of wood, -regularly attired in the usual grave clothes !
What became of the little girl yet remains to be discovered.

A WITTY GOD.—Last week as Mrs. Stirling, a
most lovely and accomplished actress, was playing at the
Birmingham Theatre, in The Maid of Switzerland, with
Mr. Maddocks (her supposed lover), they have to partake
of some refreshment, which he did without taking off his
hat. The circumstance passed unnoticed to a very crowded
house until a wag in the gallery cried out, " Measter
docks, arn't you ashamed of yourself to sit down with a
Lady with your hat on ?" The performer bore the rebuke
with much good humour, and, bowing to the polite god did
as he was desired.
