BOW-STREET.

A miserable-looking Irishman, with' his wife and
two infant children, was charged with begging in
the streets, and the offence having been proved,
they were sentenced to one month's hard labour in
the House of Correction.

Since Sir F. Roe has been the Chief Magistrate
at this office, the children of persons convicted of
an act of vagrancy have been taken from them, and
placed in the workhouse of the parish where the
parents were apprehended, but restored to them at
the expiration of their term of imprisonment. This
order has been felt by the women as a far greater
punishme►►t than the imprisonment, and in many
instances it has been difficult to take a child from
its mother even by force. In the present case, the
woman, on hearing that she was to be deprived of
her children, caught up the infants in her arms, and
declared she would not part with them except with
her life. Dodd, the gaoler, tried to take them from
her by force, but she placed the children on the
ground, and then flew at him like a tigress, and
soon made marks enough on his face to enable her
to identify him for the next six weeks. She was
replaced at the bar for the assault, and the only
thing the poor wretch could say was, " Give me
my children, and let me go." Dodd did not press
the charge against her; and Mr. Minshull, disposed
to make every allowance for the feelings of a mo-
ther, did not make any addition to the term of her
imprisonment, and assured her that her children
would be well taken care of in the workhouse.
This assurance did not pacify her, a►id she was con-
ducted back to the lock-up place, exclaiming bitterly
against the cruelty of depriving her of her children

CORN EXCHANGE.

Last week the arrivals of all kinds of Grain were moderate,
except of Oats from Ireland, of which the return was large;
the market throughout was inanimate. This morning there is
a good fresh supply of Wheat, Barley, Beans, and Peas from
the surrounding counties. In consequence of a numerous at-
tendance of country buyers, all the prime samples of new
Wheat were cleared off readily at full 9.5. per quarter advauce
on the terms of this day se'nnight, and there was rather more
demand for old Wheat at no advance in price. Fine bright
Barley being scarce, sold readily to our Ynaltsters at last week's
prices; other sorts are very dull,and may be noted rather cheaper.
Pease of both kinds sell slowly at last week's prices ; Beans are
dull, but such as are dry meet buyers at last week's prices.
There are few English Oats here at present, which sell at last
week's prices. Irish are plentiful. and are rather cheaper.
There is rather more demand for fresh Flour, but no
alteration in prices. New winter Tares are again cheaper.

Mr. ROGERS—When did you take the body ?
.

Defendant—On the day after her death.
Mr. ROGERS questioned him as to the death of
the child, and why he carried that also to the Uni-
versity ?
Defendant said that the child had a peculiar corn-
plalar, an examination into which would benefit
c;ociety, by leading to important discoveries.
Mr. ROGERS—What complaint ?

Defendant--After its mother's death I placed it
under the care of a nurse to be suckled, and the
change of milk disagreed with it.—(He said he con-
sulted the same parties, and he was induced to take
that to the University. He seemed particularly
anxious to enter into a full detail but Mr. Rogers
and Mr. Mallett the principal clerk, confined him to
points, and took down everything he said in writ-
ing as a defence usual with other prisoners, and on
being checked he apologised, and said he would wil-
lingly submit to the Magistrates.)
Mr. RocErts—car, you enter into your own
recognizance of 1001. to appear here again on Friday
next, to answer any charge that may be brought
against you ?
Defendant—I will, your Worship ; I am the pro-1
rietor of the estate, and am worth 2001. per year
and 3501. a year through my rents.
slr. MALLETT told him to come from the bar,
when he was again asked by Mr. Mallet whether
he would positively be there on Friday next if he
put in his own recognizance for one hundred pounds?
Defendant—" I positively will." He now ex
claimed with great energy, and in an exceedingly
loud tone (crying), and pointing at Mr. I,aw—" If
any murder has been committed the murderer is
now in the room.. My sister has been ill used, and
it will appear, but not by me."
Mr. MALLETT—Pray be silent, or your bail will
not be received. Say whether you will appear on
Friday next.
Defendant—l certainly will.
He was then conducted from the Court, and
orders were given to Brown to call at the London
University, to order the attendance of Doctors Cole

and Quin, and to collect every possible evidence by
that day, which he promised to do.
The child, we are informed, was a lulus naturce,
and the interest excited in the neighbourhood is ex-
traordinarily great.

MATTHEWS THE SMUGGLER.

When I found myself in the cabin with the
bold outlaw—for Matthews had been legally
denounced for many daring and successful con-
tests with the Revenue—l could not but admire
the thorough indifference to possible conse-
quences which this singular personage exhibited.
He knew that several men of war were at the
moment cruising on the station, and that they
had been apprised he had sailed from Flushing,
and that this coast was the spot selected by the
owners to effect the landing—yet he laughed
and drank as gayly as I should in a7club-house,
and despatched the messages which were occa-
sionally brought down, with perfect nonchalance.
He spoke principally of his own exploits; and
the scene was admirably in keeping. Around
the cabin, muskets, pistols, and blunderbusses
were secured in arm-racks, and cutlasses and
tomahawks were suspended from the bulk-heads.
His had been a wild career ; and though not
past the middle age, his life teemed with " pe-
rilous adventure." I was so much amused with
his varied narratives of brave attempts and des-
perate successes, that the second hour slipped
away before I rose and took my departure. On
regaining the deck, the hurry of the business
was over. The contraband cargo had been re-
placed by stone ballast ;. for, by previous arrange-
ment, each boat brought a quantity of shingle
r.„... dic rieut:ll, and hetice, the smuggler was
already in trim, and ready to stand out to sea.
This notorious vessel was considered in size and
sailing superior to any of a similar class, and
her voyages had been numerous and successful.
Her armament was formidable ; sixteen heavy
carronades were extended along the deck, with
two long brass guns of a smaller calibre, and
every other appurtenance of war was in perfect
efficiency. But the most striking object was
her ferocious-looking, but magnificent crew ;
they seemed only formed for " the battle and
the breeze," and well justified their wild com-
mander's boast, "that he could thresh any
cruiser of his own size, and land his cargo in six
hours afterwards." We left the vessel—and, to
judge by the tags and cases stowed away in the
gig, my cousin had not been forgotten in the
general distribution. The outlaw stood upon a
carronade, and waved his hand as we pulled
from the ship's side ; and in a short time set his
headsails, and stood off to sea with the ebb-tide
and a spanking breeze, which carried him out of
sight directly. This was fated to be the last
landing of the Jane, and the last exploit of her
commander ; she foundered on her next voyage,
and every person on board perished with the
vessel.-- Wild Sports of the West.

TO THE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF THE
NORTHERN DIVISION OF NORTHAMPTON-
SHIRE.
GENTLEMEN,
IBEG to offer you my warmest thanks for the
support with which you have favoured me during the
late arduous contest. For myself, I had but little desire
to undertake the important and laborious duties devolving
on the Representative of so large a body of Electors ; yet
I could not allow an attempt to be made to deprive you of
your liberal candidate, without at least giving you the op-
portunity of returning two Members, who would advocate
those great principles on which the liberty of the people
and the stability of the throne alike repose.
The handsome manner in which you have come for-
ward to support me, and the position in which you have
placed me upon the Poll afford the strongest evidence of the
attachment felt by the Electors of this Division to those
principles which both Lord Milton and myself, and our
respective families have uniformly espoused ; and the re-
ception I have met with at your hands is the more flatter-
ing inasmuch as I did not become a candidate for your
favours until the very eve of the election.
We have reason, Gentlemen, not only to be satisfied
with the result of our struggle, but to rejoice in it; for
let it never be forgotten that the avowed object in bring-
ing forward Mr. Tryon was to expel Lord Milton from
the representation of this county. The position in which
his Lordship stands on the poll must be to us matter of
sincere congratulation, while our opponents must feel that
they have been signally defeated, and their designs com-
pletely frustrated.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your most faithful servant,

diplomatists here, that the King of HOLLAND
will not order the surrender of the other for-
London, England, 1832-12-27

Itlnot ; but that other influential and official characters
. uld have been publicly representid as haiing espoused
ge cause of any particular Candidate, with a view of in-
sencing the votes of the Electors, is, I must confess, a
Liliatter of surprise, such proceedings (if true), having
'ben pronounced by resolutions of Parliament to he highly
Nrninal.
, A candidate for the county of Middlesex, in the year
806, observed in his address to the Electors, that

.t Whenever the leaders of contending parties and lac-
Lll3B in a state unite, the history of the world bears evi-
17en that it is not in favour of, but always against, the
rnale, whose renewed and augmented pillage pays the
14Indalous price of the reconciliation." Whether such
iltutirnents may be applied to the late occasion or not, it is
ill' you to judge. ln obeying the call made upon me, I
Jtee done my duty, and I have to return my thanks to up.
111 tirrla of 1,000 Electors, who, by their independent votes,
41deavoured to do theirs. Before you are called upon
Itain for your suffrages, I trust that certain legislative
41easures will be adopted, so as to enable you to act ac-
Ning to the dictates of your consciences and of your
iilterests, whereby you may be enabled to relieve yourselves
, legal and constitutional means from the multiplicity of
ulevances to which you have been subjected by the ini-
Nitous enactments of nomination Parliaments. You will
en, but not till then, be enabled to elect as your Repre-
Intatives those whom you may think proper to call for-
ard as your candidates.'
I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen,
Your most obedient humble Servant,

SURREY.

The house was crowded last night to witness the repre-
sentatio❑ of the Charcoal Burner, and the new Christ.
rnas pantomime, entitled Valkyrie, or Harlequin, the
Patriot Pole and the Maid of Muscovy. Both pieces
were well received, especially the pantomime, which con-
sisted, as usual, of a succession of feats with which the
audience were highly delighted, and as that was the pur.
pose of the representation, no doubt the author and per-
formers were also satisfied, and where all parties were happy
We do not see what right criticism would have to interfere
with their enjoyments. There was a great deal of scenery,
which appeared to excite very great admiration, particularly
an Iceberg Palace, and the destruction of a cotton factory
by fire. The piece concluded with a display of fire.
works. After the pantomime the two young DIAVOLOS
performed a series of gymnastic exercises of a very ex-
traordinary kind, which excited the wonder almost as
much as the applause of the spectators. The whole con-
cluded with the fairy tale of Oberon:. or the Charmed
-nom and the King of the Fairies, which was re-
ceived as well as ever. The performers in all the pieces
exerted themselves to please, and were eminently success.
ful ; for it is hut justice to the audience to say, that as
they were as numerous, they were also as well disposed to
be pleased as any audience that ever patronised the Surrey.

were At, numemus we can only pass, upon them a general
approval. The pantomime generally smacked of ths ster-
ling character of the old school. We presume Yousic
had shaped matters to answer NORMAN'S powers, and
that combination of conveniences was a step towards ex-
cellence : it afforded mnch of dumb dialogue, and comi-
cally told comic points with effective comicality. The
Clown's character true, as usual, profuse of all bad propen.
cities, profligate as a lover, petty in thieving. The
Birchbottom Academy involves a scene of delicate disci-
pline, and tells amazingly well, although we cannot so
well tell it without amazing our readers. One scene is
peculiarly amusing, the Exchange Bazaar, where artisans
bring in chests of drawers and other articles of furniture,
as well as articles of dress, and articles of every kind, on
the invitation, to be paid for in labour notes. The valua-
ting committeeship is vested in the Clown, and he silences
all complaints with " Beadle, take him (or her) away."
Most of them do complain. but there are some who get paid
for their articles i❑ a currency, consisting of cock-horses,
penny-trumpets, and rattles. Double-rope vaulting con-
stitutes an incident of the piece, and an astonishing per.
formanee it is; but we regret to say that last night Mr.
BLACKMORE, by some carelessness in his arrangement,
fell upon the stage, on account of the fastening of his
rope breaking. He, however, showed himself after-
wards—he had escaped injury in any degree. There was
introduced what was designated a Dioramic Annual ! or
Pictorial Tour on the Canton river, by P. PHILLIPS,
commencing with the town and port of ➢lacoa, and ad-
jacent island at sunset, the East India fleet lying at anchor,
and Chinese junks, barges, &c., laden with presents, on
an embassy to the Emperor. The view then proceeds,
passing Kiang-Ho, Seung-Si, and Wainpu, with the effect
of moonlight on the mountain', and finally arriving at the
City of Canton. In this scene, an attempt is made to
portray that terrific and alarming occurrence, the de-
struction of the European factories during the great fire at
Canton. This exhibition did great credit to the artist.
The pantomime was triumphantly successful.

MALACCA.—By the late accounts from Malacca, we are
happy to find that the Nanning war is likely to terminate
speedily. The expedition has advanced to Taber, the
residence of the unfortunate Panguloo, and took possession
of it without opposition. He his sent an emissary to
Malacca, offering terms of submission.

COMMERCIAL REMARKS.---.Our cotton market has
been particularly dull of late. On the 28th ult., exclu-
sive of the late arrival, the stock consisted of—total,
51,900 bales. This branch of our commerce has been
much affected by the disarrangement of one of our prin-
cipal Hong merchants, who has since come to a satisfac-
tory arrangement with his creditors.

OPIUM. —Me small holders of Patana have been very
active in making sales, and upwards of 2,000 chests have
been recently sold at 915 dollars per chest. Benares still
in demand ; sales have been made in Maliva at 685 dollars
per peen!. We have not yet heard of any operations in
new drugs ; Cotton-yarns, of the numbers 16 to 40, keep
in demand, but no advance has taken place. Money con-
tinues very scarce. Trade is generally dull.
(From the Paper of the 25th of August.)
A letter has been received in town front Persia, which
has excited a great deal of talk, stating that Prince Abbas
Mirza had ordered 30,000 men to march upon Hirat, and
this movement was only preparatory to an advance upon
India, in conjunction with Russia. We need not say that
there is no truth in this report.

for. their subsistence. The tenantry-at-win
franchise was a revival of the nomination
borough system in a more plausible form. We
foretold it from the first. What is it that has
thrown out Western for Essex, and brought in
such a political charlatan as Baring, but the inti-
midation of tenants? We have a letter on that
subject also. Deeply will Essex deplore the
miserable change—the rejection of one of the
gentlemen in England most eminent for consis-
tency, integrity, and honour, and the substitu-
tion of Mr. Alexander Baring. Notwithstand-
ing what we have said of the ballot, however.
and believing that it offers no guardianship tc,
bona fide free agency, while, in the instance 01
corrupt constituents, it must lead to much sys-
tematic and unpunished falsehood, we are in-
clined to dread that the people, exasperated by
the tyranny of the rich, may demand it energe-
tically, and force the Legislature to adopt it.
if it be the desire of the' nation, the ballot, it is

manifest, must come ; nor can those who con-
- template nothing hut the grievous persecutions
of the tenants-at-will, and at short leases,
under the present system, be greatly blamed
for grasping at the most prompt and plausible,
without considering whether it be the mos
effectual, expedient for relief. Make canvassing
impossible, and there is some protection in the
ballot. Hermetically seal the lips of each elector,
so that the balloting urn alone shall be privy ti,
his vote, and the ballot may prove to him a pro-
tection—it being at the same time understood,
that wife, children, and neighbours (all equally
in the secret) shall remain as discreet and silent
as himself. The chief, though not the sole.
desideratum is undoubtedly to insure the inde-
pendence of the constituent body ; and if such
can be certainly predicated as the result of the
ballot, every objection to that experiment, on
other grounds, becomes of secondary conse-
quence. We may not feel it our duty, therefore,
to oppose such a measure, knowing the abuses
by which the call for it has been provoked ; but
we make no hesitation whatever to record our
fears of its ultimate and entire failure. The
second head of our correspondent's communica-
tion, which glances at the necessity of henceforth
making the qualification of Members of Parlia-
ment something better than a farce, as it now is,
e have not time at present to discuss. It evi-
dently deserves to be seriously and favourably
received.— Times.

A hackney-coachmaster, named Emanuel, was fined
five shillings, for neglecting to register his residence at the
Sewer's Office, Guildhall. In pleading for a reduction of
the fine, he assured the Magistrate, that for the last three
week (since the Choleraphobia began in London) his
coach bad, on an average, produced him but 2s. a day,
and that he ehouldsive up coaching nest week.—Another
coachmaster said he did not doubt this statement; had
four coaches of his own, and for the last five weeks their
average earnings had been 4s. each per day.

MONTEL Y MAGAZINE.

Under its new management--we speak with
no disparagement of the old—this periodical haSI
considerably improved. The articles are lively
grave, and for the most part, reasonably brief, s
great recommendation. Its politics also are of,
the right caste, and it advocates them skilfully,
and fearlessly. The most curious article in thl
whole number is an enquiry how far Lord
Byron, in his poems of " Manfred" and the
" Deformed Transformed," was indebted to s
wild romance, published in 1803, and entitle
the " Three Brothers." We remember reading
this singular production in our school-boy days,
and being afterwards much struck with the
lavish use Lord Byron had made of it, in
his conception of character. " The Petticoat
Parliament" is a clever idea, well wrought up.
" Russia, in 1832," affords a curious insight
into the present domestic condition of that half-
civilized quarter of the globe. Altogether the
number is an agreeable one. We regret that we
have no space for extracts.

THE METROPOLITAN.
" The Bank of England, Commerce, Cur-
rency, and Finance," is a dull and drowsy, but
elaborate and useful article. The political eco-
nomists, or those who fancy themselves such,
will be in raptures with it. " The Simkin
Papers" are better than usual ; the former
series of these epistles were somewhat un-
intelligible in point of wit, but that perplexity
is now clearing up ; and they are really becoming
humorous. The correspondence between Mr.
Perceval and Parson Irving on the subject of

,‘ Half could I bear, methinks, to leave this earth
And thee more blessed than aught beneath the sun,
If I had liv'd to smile but on the birth
Of one dear pledge ; but shall there then be none
In future times—no gentle little one--
To clasp thy knees, and look resembling me?"
Who, we say, Could suppose that the author
of this affecting apostrophe, could have penned
the following stanzas ? The lines are curious
if only by way of contrast. We admire them in-
finitely. They are full of nature and sincerity :
" Imps, that hold your daily revels
Round the windows of my bower,
Would that Hell's ten thousand devils
Had you in their clutch this hour!

Screaming, yelling little nastier,
Would that Ogres down their maw
Had you cramm'd in Christmas pasties,
That would make you hold your jaw.
Saucy imps, stew'd down to jelly,
Ye would make a sauce most rare;
Or with pudding in each belly,
Rival roasted pig or hare.
Sweeter than the flesh of these is,
Would be yours, young human bates ;
All with apples at your noses,
Would I saw you dish'd by scores !
Herod slaughter'd harmless sucklings,
Not with tongues like yours to vex;
Were he here, ye Devil's ducklings,
I would bid him wring your necks."

WEST INDIES.

On the question that the House resolve itself into a Com-
mittee of Ways and Means, to consider the Sugar Duties,
The Marquis of CHANDOS suggested that it would be
expedient to postpone the resolution the Noble Lord
(Althorp) intended to propose to-night, until the report
of the Select Committee on the 'West India interests had
been made. He had been informed that the report was
likely to he made early next week.
Lord ALTHORP observed that his information did
not lead him to expect it by any means so soon.
Mr. K. DOUGLAS pressed the postponement of the
subject.
Mr. R. GORDON feared that discussion at the present
moment would lead to angry debate.
Lord ALTHORP referred to the time necessarily occu-
pied by the passing of a Money Bill, and added that he
would consent to postpone his resolution, if, after that had
been debated, Hon. Members connected with the West
Indies would not resist the passage of the Bill to be
founded upon it.

Mr. GOULBURN supported the proposition for de-
ferring the subject to this day week.
After a few words from Mr. BURGE,
Lord ALTHORP consented to postpone his resolution
until Wednesday next, on the distinct understanding that
no vexatious opposition should be made to the Bill. If
the report of the Cimmittee were not on the table by
Wednesday next, he could not consent to any farther delay.

THE LATE WAR.

This day was published, in Two Vols. post Svo. 21a.
CAPT. COOKE'S PERSONAL NAR-
RATIVE of his MILITARY ADVENTURES,
comprising new and very interesting particulars of the Battles
of Salamanca, Vittoria, Pampeluna, Niveile, Nice, and
Toulouse, and of the Sieges of Ciudad Rodrigo, Badjoz,
and St. Sebastian, &c. &c. to which are subjoined NAR-
RATIVES by the Earl of MUNSTER, and Lieutenant
MOODIE, of the Campaigns in Portugal and Holland.
" A new and welcome companion to the various interesting
records of British heroism in the 19th century. In the Noble
Earl's portion of this interesting publication, the brilliant sketch
of the battle of Talavera, and the clear exposition of the general
operations of the campaign in which he took so distinguished a
part, furnish the best claims to attention ; while the gallant
Captain's Narrative, embracing nearly the whole of the Penin-
sular conflicts, is rich in those episodes of individual adventure
and achievement which lend to the military page all the excite-
ment of romance, and which harmonize particularly well with the
wild and picturesque scenes of a country like Spain.--Globe.

LONDON,
THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 1, 1832.

We are happy to perceive, by the debates of
last night, that Ministers have advanced 100,0001,
for the relief of the sufferers in the West
India Islands by the late hurricanes. A cer-
tain amount has also been sent to relieve the
poor in Bethnal-green, which seemed to give
satisfaction to the House.

EMPLOYMENT OF TROOPS IN IRELAND.

Some questions were put by different Members relative
to the calling out and employment of troops and yeomanry
in various parts of Ireland; but they were a,ked so in-
distinctly, that it was impossible to catch them.
Mr. STANLEY remarked, that the presence of the mili-
tary in one situation (the name of the place we could not
bear) had probably prevented threatened disturbances ; and
Sir If. HARDINGE decidedly objected to the calling
out of the military in any part of the kingdom without
the authority and presence of a Magistrate to sanction the
proceedings. The contrary practice had been much too
prevalent.

PETITION FOR REFORM FROM NEW YORK.
Mr. HUNT alluded to what had appeared last summer
in the newspapers, respecting a petition to the King from
cert.lin natives of Great Britain and Ireland, resident in
New York, in favour of the Reform Bill. It had received
six or seven hundred signatures, and had been transmitted
to Earl Grey, in order that it might he laid before his
Majesty ? hut his Lordship, by his Secretary, had re-
turned for answer, that there was no precedent for such a
proceeding. He (Mr. Hunt) had received a letter on the
subject from some of the parties in New York; and a,
they were anxious upon the subject, he begged to a.l the
Noble Lord whether there was any probability that the
petition to the King would be presented?
Lord ALTHORP replied, that this was the first time
he had heard of the petition. Ministers certainly did not
wish to set any new precedent on such a subject without a
sufficient reason.

TTIE MARQUIS OF LONDONDERRY.

The Marquis of Londonderry, who has repeatedly distin.
guished himself by catechising Ministers, resumed his favourite
task last night. The subject chosen by his Lordship on this
occasion was the very improbable rumour that Lord Ponsonby
had, in his capacity as Ambassador, lent himself to an insui
rectionary plot in Belgium, and afterwards deserted his co-cor,
spirators on finding that a change of policy had taken place at
home. Also that his Lordship had kept back petitions from
the Congress, which were intrusted to his care on the faith of
the diplomatic character with which his country had invested
him. These were pretty strong charges. Lord Ponsonby,
however, met them with the most direct contradiction ; and the
Noble Marquis, to do him justice, was not only satisfied, but de-
lighted, at finding himself, as usual, in the wrong.
We do not profess to decide whether, as Earl Grey intimated,
the Marquis of Londonderry " ought to have been much easier
satisfied" than by the explicit denial with which his question,
were met ; but as his Lordship is really a frank and good.
humoured man, making some little allowance for a warmth of
temperament, not very favourable to the growth of discretion,
we should be sorry to see him deprived of that sort of enjoy_
ment which it appears some people take in raising difficulties
for the mere pleasure of seeing them ♦anish into air. His
Lordship seems to have the same taste for a charge that a
coal-heaver has for a pot of porter—the more froth on it
the better.

If it were not for some tendency of this sort—some natural
leaning to the incredible, such as is often found to exist in
imaginative minds—the high character of Lord Ponsonby would,
no doubt, have found an advocate, not an accuser, in the sym-
pathetic feelings of the Noble Marquis.

Earl Grey, moreover, intimated that the very absurdity of
the accusation ought to have interfered with its currency, in
that House at least. But the law of affinities is a very per.
plexing one in human nature. " What's one man's meat is
another man's poison," says the old adage, and the same ab.
surdity which would lead some understandings to reject an
opinion at the first blush may, by the same rule, lead others to
receive it upon trust, until it was blown to atoms by the forte
of unncessary but irresistible testimony. We cannot say that
we rejoice to find this question set at rest, for we never telt
much uneasiness on the subject; but the Noble Marquis, who
felt otherwise, is entitled to praise for having put it to issue,
regardless of any awkwardness which might recoil upon him,
self, by proving that his apprehensions and his questions.
amounted, after all, to nothing.—Morning Herald.
