ATTEMPT TO MURDER BY A POLICEMAN.—John
Horrigan, aged 43, late a constable, 173 in the H di-
vision, was brought up for final examination, charged
with feloniously cutting and wounding with a knife J.
Moseley, a brother constable of the same divisiou, and
Mr. Forbes, one of his inspectors.
On the 25th ofJune, Sergeant Jackson, 11 H, met the
prisoner in White Hart-court, Whitcchapel, between
two and three o'clock in the morning, and charged him
with having been drinking and incapable of duty. When
ordered to go to the station-house at Leman •street, he
drew his staff, and said, " If you dare to lay your hands
cn me I'll knock your head off, and if the staff won't do,
I have a knife in my pocket, and I'll use it." Having
procured assistance, Jackson took him to the station-
house, where he deliberately pulled a knife from his
pocket, and opened it. Jackson told him not to make
himself a fool, but he sprang at him with the knife and
made several cuts at him. Inspector Forbes, who was
on duty, then came forward, and remonstrated with him
on the unseemly character of his conduct. The injured
man, Moseley, then drew his truncheon and advanced to
disarm the prisoner, the inspector and some other constable
accompanying him. The prisoner said to Moseley,
"Take care or I'll stab you —. I'll be to —if I
don't stab any man that comes to take me." A struggle
then ensued and Moseley cried out "I am stabbed." Im-
mediately after the inspector, finding the blood trickling
down his left arm, cried out "I am stabbed" also. By
this time the prisoner was got down, but he still con-
tinned to hit out with the knife right and left.
The divisional surgeon, Mr. Meers, stoic(' that the
wound inflicted on Moseley was an inch and a half deep,
running obliquely through the back part of the thigh
and not f,tr from the femoral artery, and there was tat-
other slight punctured wound under the armpit. Both
were easily healed up, but owing to au affection of the
lungs, the effects of which were probably heightened by
the injury and excitement, it would not be safe to call
upon the injured man to make his depositions.
The prisoner was fully committed on the charge of aP-
saulting Moseley with intent to murder him, and assault.
ing Inspector. Forbes with intent to do him grievous
bodily harm.

CAPE OF GOOD TOPE.—The news brought by the
Apollo, to the 27th of May inclusive, is of no political im-
porta* beyond the fact of the total cessation of the ill-
feeling which the absurd and obstinate conduct of the Colo-
nial Secretary bad tbr the time engendered. The elections
to the vacancies in the Legislative Council were proceeding
with great propriety, and, with one or two exceptions, with-
out excitement or confusion. The conduct of the Governor-
General in .this matter hai rendered him highly popular

GUILDHALL.

Thomas Dower; a gentlemanly-looking person, and
who formerly was a law stationer, and carried on a very
respectable and extensive business in Chancery-lane, was
brought up in the custody of police-constable Quarter-
man, 361, charged with stealing a silver tablespoon,
value 125., the property of 'Mr. Argent, from the coffee-
room of the Rainbow Tavern, Fleet-street.

Alderman HOOPER said the charge was quite com-
plete, and he would leave it to a jury to take into con-
sideration the question of the prisoner's state of mind at
the time he committed the robbery.
The prisoner aas committed to Newgate to take his
trial upon the above charge.

The important ESTATE of BROOKSBY HALL, a choice Hunting
Seat, near Melton Mowbray, about Ten Miles from Leicester and
Loughborough, embracing one of the richest Domains in that pro-
verleially fertile district, with a comfortable Stone Mansion, on a
moderate scale ; with the Manor, Fishery, and Perpetual Adrow-
son ; a Mill and Wharf, and several famous Farms in Brooksby
and Hoby, intersected for upwards of a mile by the river Wreak,

Presenting an unusually fine Property for Investment.

at Twelve (unless an acceptable offer shall be previously made by
private treaty),
The above remarkably choice and most valuable FREEHOLD
ESTATE, comprising, In a perfect ring fence, about 1,150 acres of
exceedingly rich grazing land (capable of fatting the largest bullocks),
wills a range of luxuriant meadows intersected by the river, and a
fine breadth of sound fertile arable land, the greater part In the
hands of first-Plass tenants, and, with little exception, in the finest
state of cultivation. The mansion (of which possession may be had)
stands upon a gentle rise, close to the beautiful little church of
Brooksby, surrounded by some exceedingly rich park-like paddockS,

c oice estate as an investment ; and, being In the midst of several
favourite hunts, And within a short ride of Leicester, with a railway

THE ART JOURNAL.

Mr. Eastlalie's lovely picture of "A. Greek Girl,"
familiar to every visitor of the Vernon Collection,
forms the subject of the principal illustration;
end the felicitous manner in which it has been
copied does infinite cr6dit to the skill and ability of
Mr. 11. Graves, the engraver. "Grief," from the
bas-relief of J. 11. Foley, the distinguished sculptor
of Ino and Bacchus, has been transcribed for the
next plate' by the graver of Mr. T. W. Knight. In
the sketch taken by Mr. Knight from the orignal,
the child's foot seems s deformity, and its head appears
in dreadful disproportion. The second transcript
from the Vernon Gallery in the Art Journal for
August is that of btanfield's " Lake of Como," by
Mr. J. Conseil. The engraving is admirably careful
in its exactitude. Among the literary contributions
to this periodical the most noticeable in the present
instalment is the article on " The Exhibition
of 1851—its Errors and Dangers." Although we
are far from coinciding in the whole argument of the
writer, we conceive the paper to be well worthy of an

CLERKENWELL.

Charles Ricketts, the driver of a Chelsea omnibus, was
placed at the bar before Mr. Combe, charged with having
caused the death of Edward Frederick Wallis, aged
eight years, son of respectable parents residing at 17,
Hornsey-road.

It appeared from the evidence, that yesterday after-
noon the prisoner was driving his omnibus at a slow pace
in the Holloway-road, when another omnibus was driving
in an opposite direction, and a dray was passing near
them. The deceased child was returning from school
on his way home, and in crossing the road from behind
the omnibus going in the opposite direction the horse of
the omnibus which the prisoner was driving knocked
the child down, the wheels passed over his head,
smashed it flat, and killed him on the spot.
Sergeant Martin, 48 N, proved having found the child
quite dead and taking the prisoner into custody.
The witnesses concurred that there was no blame at-
tached to the prisoner, and that the occurrence was per-
fectly accidental.
Mr. Col= ordered the prisoner to put in bail for his
appearance at this court on a future day, when the result
of the coroner's inquest will be made known.
He put in the required recognizances and was libe-
rated.

ASTLEY'S AMPHITHEATRE.

A magnificent new grand hippodramatic spectacle,
entitled the Enchanted Palfrey; or the Warrior of
the Crescent, was produced here last evening, with
that triumphant success which has hitherto attended
all the productions of Mr. Batty's management.
The scene is laid in Persia, and we find that the War-
rior •of the Crescent, Mirza, was in early life a
peasant; but having entered the service of the Shah
of Persia as a soldier, he rose by degrees, and became
at last general of his forces. Raised to high rank,
he did not, however, forget an humble maiden in
his native village, to whom he had been, when
in lower circumstances, betrothed. But, when
brought to the city of the Shah, and seen by him, he
became enamoured of her, and from that moment he
determined on the ruin of the brave warrior, who
was declared a rebel, but continued, in the disguise
of a Bedouin Arab, to enter the city and palace of
the Persian Sovereign, and succeeded, through the in-
strumentality of his famous palfrey, in carrying off
the lady. It is unnecessary to repeat the many
dangers they escaped by means of the same
agency, or with what uncommon dexterity the
horse performed the part assigned him ; it is
enough to observe that fortune on this occasion co-
incided with the old proverb, by favouring the brave,
for the 'Warrior of the Crescent attacks the Shah in
his fortress, and deprives him at once of his life and
kingdom. The storming of the fortress at the con-
clusion was admirably managed, and elicited thunders
of applause. The scenery was magnificent, and the
costumes gorgeous. The Enchanted Palfrey will
no doubt have a long run.

SHARPE' S .V DO N MAGAZINE.

Sharpe's may now rank with the most interesting
of the monthly periodicals. In the November number
we find "A Sea-side Sketch," by Agnes Strickland,
which possesses a very mournful interest.
"Lewis Arundel " continues with unabated
spirit. The maxims of La Rochefoucauld, as recently
published by Messrs. Longman, are the subject of an
interesting criticism, and in addition to a variety of
other attractive articles is a beautiful plea for " Me-
mory," by E. E. M. K., founded upon that touching
aspiration u hich occurs in " The Haunted Man,"
" Lord keep my memory green." As a specimen of
its eloquence of style and tenderness of thought, we
quote the concluding passages of this delightful article,
evidently written from the heart, and as such appeal-
ing to the hearts of those who read it :

•'' , Lord, keep my memory green!' echoes instinctively
in the heart of the wondering child, as it looks upon the
leafless boughs of winter, and seeks in vain for the wild
flowers striped and golden,' it was wont to gather in the
merry hours of summer. It remembers them, the blue
violets—those deep eyes of the young spring first gezing
upon us so slyly—the cowslips of sunny May; and Hope
weaves a garland afresh—a garland cf promise that they
shall leaf and blossom again, when warm days, and
cloudleas skies, and fertilizing dews return. Lord,
keep my memory green!' trembles on the wan lips of
the weeping mourner, whether it be over the dead or the
dying those agonising drops be distilled. It wells up
there from the stricken yet disciplined heart in the half
audible appeal for strength addressed to those ears which
are never closed against us. ' Teach me to remember
that Thou bast promised succour to all who call upon
Thee in the day of tribulation—that this is not our
true country, that here life is made up of meetings and
partings, and that it is only hereafter we may anticipate
the bliss of an inseparable companionship."frue, me-
mory is potent to stir the storm of natural regrets, to
rend the heart with the thought of present desolation, to
convulse the lip when its cry of endearment comes back
unanswered, to thicken the breath with a sense of suffo-
cation at the threshold of that chamber (whose closed
door—

THE ECLECTIC REVIEW.

The " Character and Career of Ca sar," as set forth
in Mr. Merivale's "Roman Empire," is the subject
of a severe censure on the part of the Eclectic reviewer.
Wordsworth's "Prelude," on the other hand, gives
occasion for a genial eulogium on the departed Poet'
Laureate. Without fully concurring in the reviewer's
estimate of the author of " the Prelude," we have been
struck with the justice of some of his observe ions, as,
for instance, where he says, "every great poet passes
through a fourfold state in regard to the world. First,
his peculiar qualities are ignored; secondly, they are
acknowledged ; thirdly, they are appreciated ; and
fourthly, they are canonized. Wordsworth has only
as yet reached the second stage. Ills merits are gene-
rally acknowledged, but generally appreciated they
are not, nor are they soon likely to be.'

BOW7STREET.7-(THIS DAY.)

J. Leonard and VV. Daniels (young men) were charged
before Mr. Jardine, with cheating with a false instru-
ment of gaming (capped coin), and also with hocussing
and robbery.
It appeared that last night the prisoners were together
drinking in the Shades, at Charing-crass, and com-
menced tossing. They continued to toss, and persuaded
a man present, named Wilsey, a gentleman's servant, to
join in the gambling. From small sums the stakes ran
up to 51., and ultimately the servant was induced to stake
his watch. He lost, but the waiter of the Shades hap-
pening to come in, and observe for the first time some-
thing of what was going on, went for a policeman and
gave them into custody, the capped coin with which they
had been tossing being secured. Upon searching them
another watch was found upon them.
Another charge of a more serious nature was brought
against them by a young man named William Gould,
who stated that he accidentally fell into company with
the prisoners in the Strand, and accompanied them to a
public-house near Whitehall, called the Duke of Wel-
lington. There the two 'prisoners commenced tossing,
first for drink, and then for shillings. On one of the
prisoners going out of the room, the other, showed
Gould the capped piece, which was so contrived as to
enable the person using ito to turn " heads" or! ";tails"
at will, according to the' call aids' opponent Ana this
prisoner advised the witness against : his ab-
sent companion, to win hrs'watch arid Money from him.
For this purpose, Gould•was to stake his watch against
Leonard's, and he accordingly pulled out his watch,
but ou reflection put it back again.
In reply to Mr. JARDINE, Gould said that
he had seen the false piece before he pulled
out his watch, but ho finally refused to have
anything to do with them. From that place
they went, in company with a fourth perion, into Spring-
gardens, and there the prisoners again began to toss in
an open place near the park. Here witness sank on the
ground insensible, and, upon coming to his senses, dis•
covered that the prisoners and his watch were gone. One
of the watches found on the prisoner was his. Ho had
no doubt they had drugged his drink at the public-house.
The police-officers found upon the prisoners an I 0 U,
which Gould acknowledged he had signed in the name
of " Thomas Junes," for 51., and the prisoners alleged
that the watch was given them in discharge of it.
The MAGISTRATE remanded the prisoners till Tues-

ITALY.

.The Alessaggero di Modena quotes correspondence
from Rome, of the 26th ult., stating that the Sardi-
nian agent, the Marquis Spinola, had not interrupted
diplomatic relations with the Government of the Holy
See, nor did he intend to leave Rome ; that, on the
contrary, he had sent for his family and taken an
elegant apartment.
Letters from Ancona of the 30th ult., in the Uni-
versal Gazette of Milan, state that the Austrian
troops in that part of Italy are to be diminished, and
Neapolitan troops sent to replace them. The Nea-
politan Government is still continuing its military
preparations.
Count Camillo Cavour, the new Minister of Ma-
rine, Commerce, and Agriculture at Turin, has been
almost unanimously re-elected a deputy by the first
electoral college of that city.
Both the Chambers of Piedmont assembled at
Turin on the sth, pursuant to notice, but there
was no speech from the throne, as there had been
no prorogation, but only a suspension of the
sittings for the convenience of the Government.
In the Senate, the repott was made on the Bill
for the re-organization of the national guard of
the kingdom. In the Chamber of Deputies the
drawing of the bureaux took up a considerable time.
Signor Mantelli afterwards moved that the discussion
on the publicity of municipal sittings should be fixed
for the following day. The Minister of the Interior
remarked that he had a Bill ready on administrative
organization, which he intended to present on the
opening of next session, and that he therefore thought
the motion of Signor Mantelli useless for the present.
Signor Giannone observed that the sittings had been
suspended with a view to gain time for the completion
of certain measures which it was not desirable to
discuss over again next session, and that it was con-
sequently proper not to introduce new measures at
present, or else to allow of the unfinished ones being
continued in the following session without beginning
them over again. The Minister of the Interior re-
plied that the Government was not averse to closing
the present session and opening that of 1851, but
that the supplies ought first to be voted, and the Bill
on that subject was not yet ready. The motion of
Sig. Mantelli was then negatived without a division.

NEW STRAND THEATRE.

Last night the favourite into:rlude of the Rival
Pages was revived at this house , for the purpose of
introducing to the London public a young lady in the
character of Victor. This part , was one of those in
which the late Mrs. Honey vms celebrated. The
debutante, a Miss Caroline Pearse, who we understand
is a great favourite in the page 1 il.ne in the provinces,
and especially in the islands of G :uernsey and Jersey,
where she has lately been performing with much suc-
cess, possesses the recommendation of a handsome
countenance and good figure, wit's i a pair of legs that
may almost rival the celebrity 'of Madame Vestris
herself. She played the part w ith much spirit and
naiveté, and bullied and blusterer i her rival as com-
pletely as any impudent boy of si3:teen need do. Sue
was well received and loudly applauded by the
audience, and will no doubt be 4 ; ome a favourite in
town as well as the country.

CENTRAL AMERICA.

A letter from Greytown, dated Oct. 2d, brought by
the West India mail, says :—" As to the American
Company, it is, in my opinion, a very poor concern. I
do not think that as they are proceeding they will
succeed. Tee larger steamer, Orus, has not been able
to pass the river San Carlos to the Lake of Nicaragua,
and the Director, the smaller one, has been below
the Castilloviego ever since the 18th of August, the
day of their departure from here. They have not
built the right kind of boats for the river, not being
manageable enough from their length and draught
of water." We have other intelligence also, informing
us that the engineers of the New York Company had
applied to the Government of Costa Rica to be per-
mitted to examine and survey the line of the Sapoa
across the isthmus of Salinas below the river La
Flor, a permission which the President of that state
accorded them, as desirous they should test the
superiority of that line above those for which they
have obtained concessions through Nicaragua. 'We also
learn that the river San Carlos-, which flows into the
river San Juan from the high lands of Costa Rica,
has been examined by order of the President of that
State, and found navigable to the extent of 10 and 14
feet depth and 100 feet breadth of water to within 10
leagues of the port of Punta Arenas, in the Gulf of
Nicoya. A further and more detailed report will be
furnished us of this exploration. This will, it is ex-
pected, tend to develop the resources of Costa Rica at
an early date.

FRAMPTON'S PILL of HEALTH•
Price Is. 134 d. per box.
This excellent Family l'ill is a medicine of long-tried efficacy for
correcting all disorders of the stomach and bowels, the common
symptoms of which are costiveness, flatulency, spasms, loss of appe-
tite, sick headache, giddiness, sense of fulness after meals, dizziness
of the eyes, drowsiness, and pains in the stomach and bowels,: indi-
gestion, producing a torpid state of the liver, and a consequent inac-
tivity of the bowels, causing a disorganisation of every function of
the frame, will, in this mest excellent preparation, by a little perse-
verance, be effectually removed. Two or three doses will convince
the afflicted of its salutary effects. The stomach will speedily regain
its strength ; a h«•althy action of the liver, bowels, and kidneys will
rapidly take place; and instead of listlessness, heat, pain, and jaun-
diced appearance, strength, activity, and renewed health will he the
quick result of taking this medicine, according to the directions ac-
companying each box.
As a pleasant, safe, easy apperient, they unite the recommenda-
tion of a mild operation with the most successful effect, and require
no restraint of diet or confinement during their use ; and for elderly
people they will be found to be the most comfortable medicine hi-
therto prepared. •

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

Mr. Macready played Virginius last night, and we
believe, for the last tune. The tragedy was written
upwards of thirty years ago for Edmund Kean, who,
however, did not appear in the part until some }ears
after the play had, thanks to the admirable creation
of the part of Virginius by Mr. Macready, been a
permanent favourite with the public. It was origi-
nally produced at the Glasgow Theatre, and Mr.
John Cooper was the original Virginias. The great
success attending its representation at Glasgow at-
tracted the attention of Mr. Macready to the play,
and he caused it to be produced at Covent-garden in
the year 1820, when he appeared as Virginius, and
made the play and made himself at the same time.
In the year 1829 Edmund Kean appeared for some
nights as Virginius, but it was fur from being the most
successful of his impersonations. It is some two or three
years since the tragedy was performed in London,
and the interest upon the present occasion received
therefore an additional impulse. It is one of the best
of the Sheridan Knowles repertoire, and one of the
most attractive specimens of the school to which it
belongs, that we know of. The principal part has al-
wa3 s been identified with Mr. Macready as its repre-
sentative, and it will always he recorded among his
most attractive triumphs. There are some situations
in the play that come out, in his hands, with
terrible force—for instance, his first hearing of
the violence offered to his chiJd by Appius
Claudius, the assassination in the Forum, and
the interview with the tyrant in prison; while
the final scene, in which the ashes of his daughter are
brought to him in the urn, has never been surpassed
as an exemplification of a void and broken heart.
The applause bestowed upon this admirable artist
throughout the whole of the performance—particu-
larly
in the great scene of the third act—evinced the
deep sympathy of the audience ; and it is to be rc-
gretted that the arrangements of the manager do not
permit the repetition of a play abounding in so much
genuine feeling and heroic elevation of sentiment.
A better Icilius than Mr. Davenport we have never
bad, not forgetting the manly and hones, grace of
Mr. Wallack when in his best and most energetic days.
The Dentatus of Mr. Stuart was bold and sturdy,
and Miss Reynolds gave a touching interest to the
delicate little part of Virginia. Mrs. Warner was the
Servia.

BELGIUM.

The Independance of Brussels says--" The civil
law, which is the same in Belgium for the Royal
Family as for all other citizens, requires the nomi-
nation of a guardian (subrege tuteur) on the death
of a father or mother. To obey this prescription of
the law as regards the princes and princess, children
of the Queen, a family council was held at Brus-
sels on Saturday, under the presidency of M.
Peeters, Juge de Pais. The council was com-
posed—on the maternal side of the Duke de
Nemours, represented by the Prince de Ligne, the
Duke d'Aumale, represented by General Jacqueminot,
and of the Prince de Joinville, represented by General
Evain. On the paternal side of Prince Albert, repre-
sented by M. J. Van Praet—M. de Gerlache, first
President of the Court of Caseation, and M. Leclercq,
Procureur-General of the same Court. The King
delegated M. Conway, Intendant of the Civil List, to
represent him personally. The family council nomi-
nated the Duke de Nemours, guardian (subroge
tuteur), and authorised him to accept in that quality
the succession of the Queen, under what is called
benefice d'inventaire, as required by law."
