GALLANT RESCU_E.

About 3 o'clock on Thursday afternoon a fire broke out in
a three-storied house in Edge-street, Oak-street, Shudehill,
each story of which is occupied by different =flies. An
old man and his wife were sitting in their room, on the
second story, when, it is supposed, the old man set a straw
bed on fire with the ashes from his pipe. The old couple
made their escape downstairs on discovering the fire, and
at the same time two young children, who lived on the same
level, ran to the room above, into greater danger. Mrs.
Emma Gee and her child were the only occupants of the
third story until the two little ones joined them. The
flames and smoke, ascended the staircase after the fugitives,
and Mrs. Gee found that egress by the staircase was im-
possible. She then ran to the window, whicl iin her terror
she could not open, and, breaking the glass;, she cried to
some men who were in the street to save her. They quickly
collected together some bags of cotton undor the window,
and the mother threw out her own child. The men par-
tially caught it, and broke its fall, but it tin nbled through
their hands upon the bags, and escaped unhurt. By this
time a ladder had been obtained, which, however, was not
long enough to reach the window. The woman 1, dropped a
second child to the men on the ladder, from whom it fell
upon the bags, and was also unhurt. The smoke now
became overpowering, and Mrs. Gee could n o longer re-
main in the room.. She got through the,win.dow, and hung
by her hands from the window sill, about 30 feet from the
ground, while the men were busily splicing two ladders
together, in order to rescue her from her dangerous posi-
tion. By this time a large crowd had collected, and
the excitement was very great. The ladders were soon con-
nected, when. it was found that they just reached the
woman's feet. A man ran up them, and brought her safely
to the ground. Several men then mounted the ladders to
rescue the third child, which still remained in the room ;
but they were driven back by the smoke, that issued in dense
volume from the window. After a few moments of dreadful
suspense, Mr. Bagshaw, jun., stepped forwa rd from the
crowd, ascended the ladder, and entered thi3 room. He
searched for the child, but could not find it, although he
heard it crying. Repeatedly he came to the window for a
fresh supply of air, and then turned back into the room to
renew his search. After groping about en his hands and
knees upon the floor for some time, he came in contact
with the child, which he carried to the windov r, and handed
to the men who were waiting on the ladder. He then de-
scended himself, almost suffocated. This gallant act excited
the admiration of the bystanders, by some of whom it was
resolved that a subscription should be entered into for
the purpose of signifying to Mr. Bagshaw their appre-
ciation of his noble conduct. He is one of the firm of Bag-
shaw and Son, cabinetmakers, Thomas-street.--Manchester

For the time of year there was a fair show of foreign
short horns to-day, but its general quality was inferior.
From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts
fresh up this morning were slightly on the incroaso com-
pared with Monday last, but there was a deficiency in their
general quality. The primest Soots, short horns, &c., sold
without difficulty at last Monday's prices. Otherwise the
beef trade ruled heavy, and in some instances prices gave
way 2d. per 8 lbs.
From 'Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 2,200 Scots, short horns, and crosses ; from other
parts of England, 600 of various kinds ; and from Scotland,
300 Scots and crosses.
We were again very scantily supplied with all breeds of
sheep in middling condition. The mutton trade was de-
cidedly active, at an advance in the quotations realised on
this day se'nnight of 4d per 81bs. The primest old Downs
in the wool realised 5s 8d ; out of the wool, 5s per 81bs.
About 3,000 shorn sheep were in the market.
Calves, the supply of which was limited, were firm ; and
the quotations had an upward tendency.
We had a slow sale for pigs ; nevertheless prices were
supported.

address of the National Guard of that city to the
King of Sardinia :
" Sire,—Aoeustomed as we have long been to
share the hoPes, wishes, and joys of your Majesty,
we were not mute spectators of the marriage of
your Majesty's august daughter with his Imperial
Highness Prince Napeleon ; but, joining in the
universal exultation, we have taken the liveliest
interest in the happiness of your family. Our joy
was alloyed by the circumstance that the Princess
was to quit this land, which is proud of being the
country of her birth. But the thought that she was
accompanied by our most fervent wishes, and that
her august consort, emulating the great Princes
from whom he descends, would render her per-
fectly happy ; the thought that on the banks of the
Seine a powerful Monarch would embrace her as a
daughter, and that a generous and warlike nation
awaited her arrival to salute her as the star of
Italy; the thought that this Italian Princess would
efficaciously support the sacred interests of the
Peninsula, appeased our regret, and, returning to
our previous sentiments of joy, we applauded her
departure. Sire, the auspicious marriage which
adds the bonds of blood to those of friendship be-
tween your royal dynasty and that of the Emperor
Napoleon, at the same time unites the two nations
with stronger bonds. Whenever fate shall decree
that these nations shall without delay cause
the cry of grief to
.cease which arises towards your
Majesty from so many parts of Italy, then, Sire,
the National Guard of Turin, faithful to their
standard, and full of trust in their King, will bless
the happy moment, second your brave army, and
join with it to procure the speedy triumph of a just
cause. While this is preparing, they humbly lay
their respectful homage and sincere congratulations
for this happy marriage at the foot of your Ma_
jesty's throne. ' '

HOUSE OF LORDS-APPEAL.

THE SCOTTISH NORTH-EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY V

SIR WILLIAM DRUMMOND STEWART, DART.
This was an appeal from a decision of the Court of
Session in Scotland, finding the company liable to the
respondent in £14,500 damages in terms of their agree-
ment; and, moreover, liable for all loss and damage which
ho would have sustained if the company had carried out their
branch line though the lands of Murthly from Perth
to Dunkeld, as should be ascertained by decreet-arbitral of
Mr. George Buchanan, one of the directors of the com-
pany, under the Act of Parliament. The line of rail-
way was abandoned, and the company denied their lia-
bility for any consequential damage which might have
arisen if the branch line of railway had been made.
Sir Richard Bethell, Q.C., opened the case for the appel-
lant.

Mr. James Anderson, Q.C., is on the same side.
Mr. Rolt, Q.C., and Mr. R. Palmer, Q.C., represent
;he respondent.

The hearing of the cause is now going on.

(Before Vice-Chancellor Sir William Page Wood
JUDGMENT.-IN RE HARRIS'S TRUST.

His Honour the Vice-Chancellor stated—The contest
in this suit raises the question, What is the effect of the
appointment which the testator has made as to the money
to be received frsm the sale of the bonuses arising on the
policy of assurance in the Metropolitan Assurance Com-
pany, to be divided, according to the proportions mentioned
in his settlement, amongst his children ? He directed
one thousand pounds to be paid to each of his two
daughters ; and then he directed the remaining
two thousand pounds, or the residue, to be divided
equally amongst his five sons, nonzinatum—and the ques-
tion was, did these bequests pass shares to the younger
children? His Honour, on referring to the dicta of Lord
Hardwicke, and reviewing the decision in the cases of
Butler before Lord Cottenham, and Carter before Vice-
Chancellor Shadwell, came to the conclusion that the resi-
due, or surplus portion, was devisable amongst the younger
children, and d.elarad that the children, on attaining the
age of 21, shall have their portions paid to them, and the
residue will be taken to a separate account.
The parties will have their costs as between solicitor and
client, and not as between party and party.

GALLANT RESCUE.

About 3 o'clock on Thursday afternoon a fire broke out in
a three-storied house in Edge-street, Oak-street:, Shudehill,
each story of which is occupied by different families. An
old man and his wife were sitting in their room, on the
second story, when, it is supposed, the old man set a straw
bed on fire with the ashes from his pipe. The old couple
made their escape downstairs on discovering the fire, and
at the same time two young children, who lived on the same
level, ran to the room above, into greater danger. Mrs.
Emma Gee and her child were the only occupants of the
third story until the two little ones joined them. The
flames and smoke ascended the staircase after the fugitives,
and Mrs. Gee found that egress by the staircase was im-
possible. She then ran to the window, which in her terror
she could not open, and, breaking the glass, she cried to
some men who were in the street to save her. They quickly
collected together some bags of cotton under the window,
and the mother threw out her own child. The men par-
tially caught it, and broke its fall, but it tumbled through
their hands upon the bags, and escaped unhurt. By this
time a ladder had been obtained, which, however, was not

long enough to reach the windom;. The woman, dropped a.
second child to the men on the ladder, from whom it fell
upon the bags, and was also unhurt. The smoke now'
became overpowering, and Mrs. Gee could no longer re-
main in the room. She got through the window, and hung
by her hands from the window sill, about 30 feet from the
ground, while the men were busily splicing two ladders
together, in order to rescue her from her dangerous posi-
tion. By this time a large crowd had collected, and
the excitement was very great. The ladders were soon con-
nected, when it was found that they just reached the
woman's feet. A man ran up them, and brought her safely
to the ground. Several men then mounted the ladders to
rescue the third child, which still remained in the room;
but they were driven back by the smoke, that issued in dense
volume from the window. After a few moments of dreadful
suspense, Mr. Bagsbaw, jun., stepped forward from the
crowd, ascended the ladder, and entered the room. He
searched for the child,. but could not find it, although he
heard it crying. Repeatedly he came to the window for a
fresh supply of air, and then turned back into the room to
renew his search. After groping about •n his hands and
knees upon the floor -for some time, he came in contact
with the child, which he carried to the window, and handed
to the men who were waiting on the ladder. lie then de-
scended himself, almost suffocated. This gallant act excited
the admiration of the bystanders, by some of whom it was

MILITARY, HONOURS TO RELIGIOUS

PROCESSIONS.

The following is a copy of the general circular of
the late Lord Hill, alluded to by Sir E. B. Lytton,
as the order which now regulates the conduct of
the military in all our Roman Catholic colonies :--
" Horse Guards, June 26, 1837.
"It having been deemed expedient to lay down
fixed and specific rules with regard to the extent
to which her Majesty's land forces shall, for the
future, pay military honours to religious processions
in Catholic countries in which any portion of the
said forces shall happen to be serving, I have it in
command to direct your special attention to the
following, and to express Lord Hill's desire that
you cause the same to be strictly observed by the
troops serving under your orders, viz. :
" Troops are not to turn out for, move with, or
take any active part in any religious proceSsion or
ceremonial.

" All sentries are, however, to salute the proces-
sion as it passes their posts. All guards and other
bodies of troops that happen to be under arms in
the direct line of the procession are to salute it as
it passes them, but are not to remain under arms
for the procession after it has passed them, nor to
await its return.
" The usual salutes of cannon from forts or bat-
teries for catholic processions may be continued ;
but on these occasions a simple order only for firing
the salute on the day and hour specified is to be
given, without specifying the occasion for which it
is to be fired.
" Lord Hill earnestly hopes and trusts that,
notwithstanding the foregoing instructions, every
officer, non-commissioned officer, and soldier, under
your command, will (as heretofore) continue to
carry himself with the utmost forbearance and
respect towards the ministers and other memb'ers
of the catholic religion, as well as to their religious
institutions, bearing constantly in mind that the
present regulation is made to meet tho conscientious
scruples of individuals, without in the remotest
degree encouraging or contemplating a diminution
of that respectful consideration with which the
British army has ever been enjoined to regard the
religious feelings, habits, and even prejudices of
every foreign country in which it has been required

NEWARK—FEn. 16.

At the market this morning there was a moderate sur•

last week's currencies. Barley in fair supply, and all su-

to dispose of, at late rates. Beans a small show, and veil
little change in value.

TIM PUBLIC READINGS SOCIETY.

Another of these entertainments took place last
evening, before a limited audience, in Wylde's
Reading Rooms, Leicester-square. The attendance
will, without doubt, become more numerons when
the fact of the existence of such a society becomes
more widely known. Already, by the few who were
collected together, its humane purpose and earnest
labours appeared to be fully and cordiallyappreeiated.
The Rev. Owen Owen commenced the proceedings
yesterday with a very interesting and animated
exposition of the design of the Society : illustrating
his remarks by a variety of readings—some of them
revealing very considerable knowledge of the dif-
ficult art of declamation. His specimens included
several (chiefly humorous) pieces of his own com-
position. Beyond which, one of Professor Aytoun's
stirring " Lays of the Scottish Cavaliers," read by
Charles J. Plumptre, Esq.—followed by M. de
Lamartine's thrilling narrative (from the Histoire
des Girondins) of the " Origin of the Marsellaise,"
read by W. Charles Kent, Esq.—contributed to
diversify, the evening's entertainment. But the
principal. Reader—the hero of the night—was un-
questionably the reverend gentleman whose varied
exertions for the amusement.of the audience opened
and closed last night's proceedings.

acts should be pardoned.
" 12. The same rule does not apply to a case in which
similar acts were committed in a quiet part of the country,
but where the civil power had become indirectly weakened
by the rebellion. The Governor-General does not think
that in such a case the suit could be rejected ; but the
magistrates should do all in their power to bring about an
accommodation without process of law.

hence scarlatina and diphtheria are always companions,

suffering from throat affections subjected to the preserva-

miraculously allay fever and inflammation, arrest and cure
ulceration, and restore vigour to the heart, lungs, brain,

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

Our market, to-day, was but moderately supplied with
beasts. Nearly all breeds moved off slowly; yet Monday's
prices were supported. The show of sheep was limited,
and the mutton trade ruled firm, at full quotations—the
best Downs having realised 6s 4d per 81bs. Very few
calves were on offer, and the veal trade was active, at an
improvement in value of 2d per 81bs. In pigs and milch
cows, very little was doing, on former terms.

thanks for the honour you have conferred upon me by
electing me one of your representatives in Parliament.
The large number of votes recorded in my favour attests
alike to the interest felt in the election, and to the desire for
the renewal of the connection which once existed between us.
I can assure you that I am deeply sethible of the responsi-
bility which accompanies the position you have been pleased
this day to confer on me, but I shall endeavour to discharge
its duties in a manner which may be of advantage to the in-
