TIJE DRAMATIC.

The second number of this magazine fully main-
tains the character of its predecessor, and promises
well for tne future. It is illustrated by two well-
engraved portraits of Miss Gl n, the one in private
costume., the other in the character of Lady Macbeth,
of that lady, end a w,-.11-
and contains a bio,raphy
written critique of her style of actit:g. The Rev.
Francis Close is soundly rated for his recent imper-
tinent attack upon the drama and its professors; as
the writer justly remarks, it a mere sffair of peers
against boxes in the: eyes or the rev. gentleman, and
he in the course of his lecture almost admitted that
such was the case. We commend this article to the
:attentive
.perusal of Ali those who hay,: been misled by
tht• artful reprntations of the " holier•thln-thou"
men into the belief that the representation of the drama
is in itself itmnoral. The dramatic cssay on the rise
and prot;.ress of th,; drama throughout. Europe, of
which we hava here a first inttalment, promises to be
a v,ry valuable contribution to the literature of dra-
matic criticism, and " Tip; Early Days of the Ame-
rican St:Jsr•," by Bay-le Bernard, of which we have
also a first instalment, it ino:it amusing. This latter
work consists of a selection from the papers of the
late Mr. John Bernard, the first part of whose very
entertaining autobiography was published about
twenty years since. We have in addition elaborate
notices of all the performances of the month at all the
theatres, and a highly laudatory review of Marston's
new tragedy.

ELECTRIC PRINTING TELEGRAFII.—We understatni
that some very successful experiments have just been made
with the electric printing telegraph, the invention of Messrs.
Brett, the projectors of the submarine telegraph between
England and France. The Lords of the Admiralty having
kindly granted the use of their Lordships' wires between Lon-
don and Portsmouth to the above-named gentlemen, for the
purpose of testing the capabilities of their instruments, trial
was made on Thursday from the offices at Whitehall to Ports-
mouth and back (about 200 miles), in the presence of several
of their Lordships and of a deputation from the old telegraph
company, consisting of Colonel Wyld, Mr. Hatcher (engi-
neer), Mr. Fourdrinier (secretary), Ecc. Thu experiments
,on that day having been high!y satisfactory, it was then pro-
posed to place an inqiument at either end of the entire line.
Accordingly, yesterday one was affixed at Portsmouth and
another at London, and throughout the entire day the
instruments were kept in continued motion, throwing off
their cylinders messages in beautiful clear roman typ3 thus
dispensing with the errors, annoyances, and loss- of time
in transcribing, which are incidental to all telegraphs
hitherto in use in this country. This instrument, we be-
lieve, is the one intended for use by the Submarine Tele-
graph Company for their business between this kingdom and
France, and it al ill also be adopted by the European and
American Telegraph Company. It is expected that the
submarine telegraph between Dover and Calais will be
completed before the opening of the Exhibition in May
next. No less than eight wires will be laid down from shore
to shore.

ROYAL PATRIOTIC AND INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY OF
Scommin.—ln compliance with a requisition from highly
influential citizens, the Lord Provost of Glasgow presided
over a, numerous meeting in „ the Merchant's Hall there
on Tuesday, the 17th of December, for the purpose of form-
ing a Glasgow Auxiliary Section of the Royal Patriotic and
Industrial Society. After Mr. Bond, the secretary, had
given an outline of its principles and operations in rural,
urban, and Highland districts, resolutions, approving of the
sae, forming a Glasgow Auxiliary, with a most influ-
ential body of directors, including the Earl of Glasgow as
its president, were carried by acclamation. A solitary indi-
vidual who propos,Al on amendment whereby Glasgow
should wipe its hands of this Royal movement for hetttring
the condition of the poor in towns, and particularly in the
destitute Highlands, failA in his opposition for want of a
seconder.

MINING INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Mining Joulital of this day.)
It is repot ted, fru!» the Loge provincial towns (Leeds,
Livaspool, &e.), where meikets are established, that
mining shares are becoming neglectei, in consegtmce
of the sudden and large accession of business in railways.
No duubt, this cause must have its influence upon the
lesser inters at; hut the effect here is by no means P' r-
eeptib!e—the week having closed with an augmented
amount of transactions in all good and dividend mines,
and, in many instances., at a considerable advance on
previous quotations. We doubt the soundness of the
pliers prod in some of the newer concerns; and it may
be that we are verging to a period when increat,ed cau-
tion is necessary by the uninitiated ; whilst it must be
admitted that the discoveries reporttd in several of the
latter class of mints are, if true, very important for the
as. mew, end I ighly so, if they prove of a pewit:tient
and lasting chz.rueter.

In the Metal mail“,t, lead continues in good demand
at full price s, aid the supply is short. I❑ tin, the sud-
den advnuec uoticed last week has increased, and a loge
business done ; about 10,000 slabs have changed bench,
part on the spot, and part to arrire ; the mat ket closes
very firm. English tin bas participated in the eeenard
for foreign, particuleirly refined, and smelters refuse to
sell present rates. Tin plates are much inquired for,
and, as meat manufacturers are full of enders for some
time, very full pries have to be paid; the market has an
upward tendency. Copper is in good demand, at the
quotations.

At West To!gus the lode in the shaft continues its
size, 2 ft. wide, but not so productive cf ore. At Tre-
vhkey a good branch of ore has been cut in driving in
the 260 fin. level south.

Bedford United is doing remarkably well; the wirze
sinking from the 90, 4 fms. beyond the 103 end, is worth
601. p r fm., end vt at 3a. tribute. Two pitches set in
ibe back of the 103, at 2/. in 1/.

At Wheal Vincf:nt a fine tin lode has just been dis-

account of the mines, in which there is an almost
general improvement. The 100 fm. level, east of Oar-
diner's shaft, is entering the run of cre ground seen in
the 90. The 90, east of Bennett's shaft, has passed
throur,h a good course of ore for the last 15 fms.; the
lode in the end is 5 ft. wide, turning out 10 tons per fm.
Bennett's shalt, under the 90, is yielding 8 tons lor
fathom. Tt aBO west now ields 3i tons of ore per fm.
Sevi TA other levels aro yielding 1 and ton of ore

amount oF ores sold since the previous meeting 1,751/.
14s. 6d. A report from Captain Francis, detailing the
present state of the vi of kings, was read to the meeting.
which was considered very satisfactory. The average
earnings," both for tribute and tutwork, were extremely
good.

Tho Wheal Mary accounts showed a balance of 441/.
Is. egairist the mine. The sales of ore for Sept. and
Oct. were 6204 13s. Bd., and the mine cost for that period,
merchants' bills, and including the balanco on previous
account, amounted to 1,556/. 14-.. Bd.; the last call of
10s. per share produced 4951., leaving balance as stated.
A call of 15s. per share was made. The ore sold in
Nov. realised 3671. 15 51 , and about 100 tons were to
be sold during the present month. The report presents
no marked fe iture for notice.

The East Cern Brea acc7iuntv, from April to Nov. in-
clusive, show—To costs, 5621. 10r. 3J.; by cast 5121.;
leaving balance to purser, 501 103. 3d.
At !he Wheal Arthur met ting it was re'olved that a
special meeting should he convened to decide on the
propriety of allowing the adventurers to take up a-certain
number of undi:pcs!d shares, end also of permitting each
shareholeer who has pu-chased shares at 21. each, to
take up an equal number in addition, in order to enable
fa y.
the committee to off, r the residue to the public at 11.
per eharo. The reports read were tatisctor
The report read at the Bishepstowe Meting states
that, from the operations now going forward, there is
gord reason to expect a profitable mine- The sale of
ore last month was 16 tons, and the present 10 tons.
At the D .von and Courteuay Consols meeting, a re-
port from Captain Rickard was read, strongly recom-
mending the workit,g of the west( rn ground, in which
several promising lodes are believed to exist, and a corn•
mittce was appointed to go,over that portion of the sett.
The opinion given by Captain Rickard of the specula-
tion is extremely favoutati and the shareholders are
well satisfied with their prospects.
At the Bwlch Consols meeting, a number of resolu-
tions were pissed, relating to the pres nt state of the
mine. A report from Captain Francis was read, and in
fu-ure a monthly report will be furnished. In conse-
quenc of the heavy expense of working the mine, an
.4E41 will be made, by deputatioe, to obtain a reduction
of the royalty and the rents of the ground used for the
purpose of the mine.
At the Wheal Trercoll meeting, the report read front
the agent of the mine gave a very promising account o
the operations. A rich course f tin had been recently
discovered, which, it was b,lieved, would prove lasting,
and the lode was altering for the better. Should the an-
ticipations exprelsed in the report prove well founded,
the value of the mine will be considerably increased.
Much interesting information, respecting the present
position and prospects of numerous mining adventures
in Wales, will be found detailed in a series of reports
we have roc< ived from our corresptndent, Mr. Matthew
Francis, to whose management they have been confided,
and appear to be progrctsing in a highly satisfactory
manner. _ .

ALLEGED CRUELTY TO A SERTANT.

TLe following is a fuller report of this difgusting and
cruel etre than we were ermbled to give in our paper of

esterclay:—

Yesterday Mr. George Sloane, a special pleader, of 6,
Pump-court, Temple, end one of the directors of the
Church of E,..0,;;15ud Assurance lestituthm, Lothbury,
appeared at the (u; polimcourt in discharge of
Eiji bail, to answer :he charge of cruelty practiced upon
his servant, Jare Wilbred, riming a course of two years
that she bad k en in his service.
It was generally believed that this Case was only re-
manded for the purpose of completing some of the depo•
sttions previous t.) sending it for trial; nevertheless, at
an early hour the doors of the justice-room were closed,
in order to prevent the court trona bt-Irg inconveniently
crowded during the proecedinga. This prcval a very
necessary measure, as, by tte 7time the Alderman had
taken his seat on the bench, a vast ecneourre of people,
apparently for the most part conapeaed cf citizens and
protessn:nal gentlemen, had collect( d in Guildhall-yard,
each anxious to gain admittance, and to catch a glimpse
of the parties who Lad made themselves so horribly no-
torious.

On Saturday last a warrant was issued for the appre-
hension of Mrs. Sloane, in order to inure lee appear-
ance at examination lesterday, hut on th:., officers
visiting her residence for the purpose of executing the
warrant they found the furniture sire wn about the room
in great disorder, as if the occupants anticipated a sud-
den departure. The chambers uuderr ent a feria soarch
then, and again two hours after, but Mrs. Sloane was
nowhere to be found, although Mr. Philips (defendant's
solicitor) assured the Court and Alderman, on the last

examination, that she was unable to leave her bed
through severe indisposition, caused by au injury she
bud sustained to her kg by slipping it accidentally
through an area railing. Such was the greet interest
excited in the minds of the people in cons( pee cc of the
txpecttd appcaraacc cf Mrs. Shiai.e, vho appears to
have acted with greater cruelty to the unfortunate girl
than the defendant Mr. Skins, that there was such a
crowd inside the justice•reom, and in every outlet of the
ccurt, as has not been known for many years. So gene-
ral, indeed, vas the excitement, tbat gentle men were
seen spplyirg at every door of the building, and anx-

ious!y cJaimirg acquaintance with the offitdals of the
ffice, in ordtr to obtain admission to this " chamber of
horrors."

Alderman Humphery presided, and on the bench, we
noticcd Dr. Marsden, Mr. Philimore, Mr. Fenn, the
seer( tary to the Royal Free Hospital, Dr. Reale, and
teveral of the guardians ( f the West London Union.
Mr. Huddlestone (instructed by Mr. Pontifex), on
tobalf of the West London Union, attended fur the pro-
srcution, and Mr. Philips ((•f the firm of Philips and
Voss sacitors) conducted the defence (in the absence of
Mr. Clatkeon, who appeared on the two former exa-
minations), en behalf of Mr. Sloane.

Ald:ro34ll EUMPUERY asked if Mrs. Sloate was pre-
scnt? Roc (the summoning ifficer of the court)—She
is not, sir.

Alderman ITUMPHERY— Did you serve the summons?
Roe—l did, sir.
Alderman H UMPHERY—Was a warrant issued tgainst
her? Roe—There was, sir.

Alderman II U3IPLIERT —Did you serve it upon bcr?
:oe—l served it at the house in Pump-court.
AldcrmanHUMPHEßY—Whom did you see there?

Roc—l saw Mr. Sloane; he opined the door to me, and
said I was quite welcome to search the place, but he
could assure me that Mrs. Sloane was not there. He
said that Mrs. Slcatle's friends had advised her not to
attuid here, but to surrender to take her trial at the Old

Bailey, so as to avoid Laving a public cxposurat

every examination by attending the preliminary pro-

ceeding.t.
Alderman HUMPHERY—Did you search the chambers?
Roe—Yes, Sir; I searched every rocm twice, but neither
time did I see anything of Mrs. Sloane.
A ICICTMan HUMPHERY—Havo you rn&de any inqui-
ries to a6c.ertain where she has gone to? Itee—l huTe
kdkred the warrant in the f the policy at Fleet-
.

strett station, and told all the porters and m€ssfrgers at
the Timple to give iLformation iruratdiattly they dis-
dit,cowr any trace of her, or see anything that might
bassi to 11.?,r arvehension.

AAlerman illiMPHEßY—llave you ens rcaton to be-
thatyon will be able to find her? Roe—Not at

prt Lent, Sir.
Alderman IlumrHEßY—Then we must proceed with
the case in her absence, and deal with it as though she
was present.

Daring these proceedings Mr. Slfmna, Laving reccired
an intimation that his presence was required in the
court, came flwin an adjoining room, and quietly took his
seat the body of the court. His back was turned to
the audience, and ho allowed his bead to fall on his

breast in such a manner as to screen him from the Raze
of the multitude within and without, as if ho wished to

shrink from general observation.
Mr. liuddlestone said, he understood that the guar-
dians of the West Lor.don Union, hod, since the last
examination, called a meeting, at which it had been re-
solved that en tpplicatien should be made to the Poor
Law Commissioners with raft:genes to the present ease,
the result.' of which was that the Poor-law ilcard had

issued an order for the.guardians to carry on the prose.
cution against Mr. Sloane; and he (Mr. lluddlestone)
was instructed for that purpose.
Alderman lIUMPIIEhY-I was quite sure that the
Poor-law Commie.sioners would never have prevented
the guardians from prosecuting had an application been
made to them to that eff,ct; hut the fact appeared that
the guardians had cot stirred its the matter, and Mr.
Pontifex was afraid to do so without previously receiv-
ing his instructions from them.
Mr. Pcntifex said he was not afraid, but he was
not competent to act in such a matter without their
sanction.

The girl, Jane Wilbred, was then brought in and
placed in a seat by the side of the Alderman. She ap-
peared much stronger than on the last examination, but
evidently much digressed, from the excessive weakness
under which she laboured in endeavouring to support
herself, without aid, to her seat. Her breathing was
still very quick and difficult, and, although she has
gained about seven pound in weight since last week, she
still presents a most emaciated appearance both in her
face and limbs. She was dressed in a servant's plain
dress, and, from the great improvement in her general
appearance since she has been under Dr. Marsden's care,
we are inclined to believe that she will, when perfectly
convalescent, turn out to be a pretty and interesting young
girl.
Mr. Iluddlestone having intimated his intention of
putting her under a re-examination, the usual oath was
administered to her, and she coetinued her statement,
and the following appalling and disgusting details were
elicited :—,lt will here be necessary to adhere to her
evieence as she gave it, as her own words will better ex-

preia the atrocity cf the defendants' conduct than any
words we could sub.ititu'e.

Jane Wilbr.ll, re-examined by Alderman HUMPIIERY
and Mr. Huddlebtune—Mr. Sloane ()fun butt ale; some-

times in the morning early and sometimes in the day,
time. Mrs. Sloane used to heat me beceuro I wore my
shift-sleeves over my arms and shoulders in the morn-
ing; and when I cried Mr. Sloane used to beat me for
vying. Mr. Sloane called rile round to to the bedside
one morning ard beat me on the bands with a
shoe. My mistress would rot let me wear
my shift on my shoulders and neck in the morn-
ing, end, bccau'e I were it to keep me warm, she
used to beat me on my back with a shoe. She would
not let me wear en) thing on my rock, or
any part of my body shove the waist ; so
that, from the waist upwards, I was obliged to go about
the house exposed, in the preoence of Mr. Sloane and the
young lady.—(Sensation.) Eler WO is Louisa Ikvaux.
My mistress wanted me to do th,,Work Of a morning 4,
that naked state—(Sensation)—r I could not bear the
cold, as it was in the winter tinsel., I never:Went to church'
on Sundays, nor any plten of worship. I never asked
to le allowed to go, as I did not know any place to go
t). My master and mistress and Miss Devaux never
went to church. My master
,sometimes went out on
Sundays, but never remained:out long. My mistress
never left the house. There wairalways meat cooked on
Sundays for Mr. and Mrs. Sloane, but I had none of ir.
Alderman HUMPHIRY here said—l have been locking
at the girl's hands, from the practice adopted here by
the prisoners, to ascertain if they have been doing any
laborious work; and I should say that the poor creature
has been worked very Lard indeed; at all events her
hands bear strung testimony to that effect.

With( ss continued—lt vas several months after I
first went in July that I was treated badly. At first I
was allowed to wear all my clothes; but as the winter
came on my mistress compelled me to go about the house
with only my :hilt and gown tied round my waist by a
petticoat, as she could not wait for me to put them on
properly or anything else to keep me warm. She told
me very often that I must not wear anything on my neck
and shoulders, but I do not recollect whether Mr. Sloane
heard her or not. Mr. Sloane often beat me on the
bands, arms, and back with a shoe, sometimes while I
was having my breakfast and sometimes after. At that
time I had not as much as I could eat. I had meat
sometimes three times a week. When my mistress
could not make me eat my own dirt my master beat me
until he made me do it. (Gnat sensation, and long-
continued hisses were levelled at the defendant, who
sat immovable in bis chair, as if he was not at all
concerned) There was no watercloset of any kind
in the chambers belonging to Mr. Sloane. There
was only one chamber utensil for the use of Mrs.
Sloane, Miss Devaux, and myself, which was kept in a
pan under the kitchen-table. I was only allowed to
use it once a day. I sometimes used it at night,
and when she found it out in the morning sbe told me
she would make me est the contents—(G seat salsa-

tion.) I was generally locked in my bed-room all night,
so that I should not use the chamber utensil. When she
told me she would make me eat the contents she used to
try and do so.—(Prolonged hissing.) She has made me
eat it more than once, and when I struggled to prevent
her, and it dropped on the floor, the picked it up and
put it in my mouth.—(Sensation) When I have cot
been able to get at tt e chamber utensil at all during the
day I have dirtied the floor, but I could not help it. My
mistress on one occasion got a piece of turnip and cut a
hole in it and filled it with some of the dirt, and forced
it down my threat by means of a large iron tablespoon.
—(Great sensation.) Mr. Sloane was not present when
she at first attempted it, but he was when she succeeded
in pushing it down my throat. He steed behind me, so
as to keep me close in front of my mistress while she
put it into my mouth.—(sensation.) lie beat me on that
occasion with a shoe because I refused to do as my mis-
tress wanted, and he brat me again biter it. This
only happened CDC() in Mr. Shane's presence, and that
was alout a fortnight More I was Wien from
his home. Sometimes if I forgot to sec ur
the fender with ash; s, or clean the footman on which the
dinner is Flaccd before ere fire, Mr. Sloane would b: at

(Great disgust was hero,znanifested by all piesent, and
it was with difficulty that order was tlitiralitely rester, d.)
Alderman HUMPHREY said—l 7.1,11 to know, before
girt, Miss .Devaux, is pre-
proceeding any further, if this
sent? Mr. Philips said—She is not present, as I was
Riven to understand, on the last examination, that Mr.
Sloane was to be committed to day, and that the case
was only remanded for that turpose. He was not I:re-
pred to rivet another examination at sock a Lhurt no-
tice; but he did not compiaia, as Mr. k.:l,:ar.e was willirg
and anxious to court the iullest investigation.
Mr. Huddlestono said, wad, r these circumstances, I
would ask the Alderman to remand the caw, to me.: tic
convenience of elekndant's counsel, us I by co :cuff:.:

if Mr. Sloane is well advised he will have Mrs. Sloane
bete to answer this chs.rge on the next exlmlnstion. If
she does not appear then, I shall deem it my duty to
ask yen, Sir, net to accept bail for Mr. Sloane's appear-
ance at the January ,:e2e.siont, but to commit him to New-
gate to await his trial.
Mr. Philips said—l must pr test against such a
t:rinciple beirg adopted with rog:.rd t) my client, wh,
has always been moat anxious that every h:quiry should
be made, and has givers every assistance to suck it ph:,
in his pc.wer. _ _

Mr. Iluddleslone stigaute..l that the mutt: of bail
should be iverra..ed.

AHCIMaII HUMPHREY Eaid—l it will be expe-
dient to increase the bail, as, in the t Irecco of Mrs,
Slonne, it was but naturdl that the Court should come to
the conclusion that the defendant, Ivivirg screened his
wife, would be quite as unwilling to go through the or
deal himielf.

Mr. Philips—l objset to the principle of iccrcacir.g
the bail, although there would be no difficulty in doing
so; still, I cannot tee the necessity for such a prccecd -
ing, as the defendant has already appeared twice to Ile
same amount. With regard to the threat held out t y
the Learned Counsel for the proseenioa, I beg to assure
the worthy Alderman that he cannot refuse to ace?pt
bail if offered, as it is a bailable (Zeno.% At all event-,
if justice is not allowed my client here in that respect, I
know where to seek it.

Mr. Iluddiestone—Perh::ps, Mr. Philips, you will re-
collect the voids of Mr. Sloane when the of NV, nt to
his house. There can be no other construction put upon
them but that he was instrumental in kflping a witness
out of the vc ay.
Alderma❑ HIIMPHREY-Will ycu, Mr. Philips, give
bail fur M.s. Sloane's appearance ?—(Laughter.)
Mr. Philips—ls it reasonable to ask me, sir? Would
any man in his right comes give bail for "any woman"
as to what she would du?—(Laughter.) I would not.

Alderman lIUMPlinEY—Then I shall increase the
amount of bail, and shalt require Mr. Sloane to find two
sureties of 250/. each, and himself to be bound over in
the sum of 5001., to appear and answer the charge on the
next examinaticy.—(Great applause followed this an-
nouncement, but was instantly soppressed.)
S,..:me di. mission ensued upon this point, when a gentle-
man on the bench rose and said—" As one of the
guardians of the West London Union, I object to the
present amcunt of bail."
The amount of bail as above mentioned aas tiara
agreed upon.
Mr. Sloane, during some slight contusion th it fol-
lowed, mode his escape into an adjoining room, and there
wait( d until ti.e r( gutted bail nas forthcoming.
In the interim, Mr. Alderman HUMPHEPY handed our
reporter the following letter, dated—

lisstings, Dec. 19.
" Dear Sir,—lf I knew the address or Mr. Puntifex

that silo hal heard of the Sioanes being charged with
great cruelty to a servant girl, and that as she had lived
with them sumo time since, and had also been treated
cruelly by them, she wished to know if her evi-
del.c? would be of any use in furthering tie ends of
juVice.

"I am as's-arethat in this particular c:se she will be of
no service, but st he trial, as some proof of ttt g,cLcral
treatment of their servants, perhaps her evidence might
be of some importance.

" The girl's name is Mary A. Stokes, 14, Bourne-

In the course of the afternoon Mr. Sloane,having pro-
cured the requisite amount of bail, requested remission
to leave by one of the private entrances to the court;
and having first sent out the gaoler, to ascartsin if the
cca,t was quite ch ar in Church. passage, he peeped
round the corner of the door in every dirtmiur, arid,
feeling satisfied that no one saw him, made a sudden
rush, and at the top of his speed made the best cf his
way into Gresham-street, where he was recognized by a
person who had seen him in court during the proceed-
ing. It was soon passed from one to another, until a
mob collected round him so dense that he was quit unable
to escape. Mud was heaped upon him from all sides,
and his ears were greeted with various shouts : "Down
with the wretch who starved the girl!" "Death to the
cruel mons:err "Give it to him; show him no mercy,
he had none fur Jane Wilbred!" and suchlike phrases.
In order the mere effectually to present his escap-
ing, one of the mob knocked his hat over his eyes,
and it was not until he was dragged and pulled about
in a very rough manner that he was aible to get away
from them, when he ran towards the Yost-office, with
the mob in full chase after him, yelling and booting at
his heels at every 'VT, until he brtunately met a po-
liceman, who took him under his protection, and hurried
him into a public-house in Gresham-street, where be
retrained until a cab was called, and he was got into it
with gr; at difficulty end conveyed to his chambers in
the Tc mph'. On arriving there, however, a fresh sur-
prise awaited him, for !here were from 500 to 600 per-
sons collected round the house in Pump-court, anxi-
ously waiting fur Mr. Sloane. The officer who had
accompanied him in the cab then directed the cabman to
?Jive along the Strand, but the mob Rho had followed
the vehicle from Gresham-stret t so annoyed him by mud
and oth. r missiles, that Mr. Eli ane expressed a wish
that the cabman should cross Waterloo-bridge and
put him down at the railway station. It was only by
that plan, and driving at a furious rate, that he ulti-
mately escaped wi•hout any serious injury.

THE CITIFIED:B' DINNER TO TOE MAYOR OF BATH
—Ever since the occasion on which our feilow-citizins par-
took of the splendid and hearty hospitality of F. Powding, '
Esq., the universally-esteemed mayer (now twice elected)
of Bath, it has been in contemplation to invite him to a
return dinner. The only question has been on the subject
of the time when the festivity should take place; and
finaily it was fixed for yesterday, the 18th inst., the anni-
versary of his worship's dinner to the citizens. G. W.
Blathwayt, Esq., presided ; and it is quite superfluous for us
to say that the hearty good-wil, judgment, and ability with
which he discharged his important duties contributed in a
very high degree to the success of the entertainment. Mr.
Plathwayt was supported on his right by the Mayor, Mr.
Miles, M.P., the Mayor of Bristol, Sir R. Preston, Ern.,
the Rev. Dr. Starner, Mr. W. T. Blair, Mr. Long, and Mr.
Kitson; and on the left by Lord Ashley, M.P., Mr. Pinney,
M.l'., Mr. Sutcliffe, Major-General Daubeney, K.H., the
Rev. S. H. Widdrir.gton, Major Daubeney, Mr. .Norman,
and Mr. Hunt. At the president's table also were the
Town-clerk of Bath, the Town-clerk of Bristol, M. Edlidge,
Mr. V. Jenkins, Mr. Markland, Nr. Moger, Mr. Sheppard,
Mr. Batchellor, Mr. W. Brown, the Rev. A. Stamer, and
Mr. E. D. Bailey. Invitations were also sent to the following
noblamemen and gentlemen, but, from various causes, they
were nnable to be present: - His Grace the Duke of Beaufort,
the Marquis of Worcester, the lord-lieutenant of the county,
Lord Portman, Viscount Duncan, 111. P., the Right Worshipful
the Recorder, and D. Jardine, Esq.—Bela Chronicle.
A NEW TITLE FOR THE BISHOP OF EXETEH—A
letter passed through the Torquay Post-cffice th's week,
addressed " The Archbishop of Westminster, Bishoystowe,
Torquay," which being delivered at the place above men-
tioned, was returned by the Bishop, endorsed " Not known
in this house—H. Exeter," and sent back to the dead letter

STRIKE OF MECHANICS AT LEEDS.—The whole of
the workmen (nearly 1,100 in number) in the employment
of Messrs. E. B. \\ ilson and Co., of the Leeds llaillN ay
Foundry, are now out on strike, and for the last two or
three days there have been frequent public meetings upon
Huns!et Moor of the workmen nucl their sympathisers, to
*llia place the parties have marched to the strains of a
military band, and N, here they have been addressed in for-
cible but generally temperate baiangues by seine or other of
the mechanics engaged in the strike: The hands turned
out on Monday mornirg last, on a question, as we are in-
formed, arising out et the discharge of the smiths' foreman,
and from a feeling of general dissatisfaction at the conduct of
the manager. The workmen up to yesterday (Frielay) had
not resumed their empleyment. TLey solicited an inter •
view with Mr. E. 13. \\ iison, but unfortunetely that getile-
man was at the time in London. He returned on Thursday,
but no steps have yet been taken for the adjustment of the
difference

GOOD SroLT.—The covers of Rosehaugh were
shot over on the Lith and 13th, by a few friends of Sir J. J.
R. Mackenzie, Bart. The show of game exceeded that of
last year, ar:d the bag numbered 332 head of game, consist-
ing of pheasants, hales, and woodcocks. In absence of Sir
James Mackenzie, the party was beaded by Sir Evan Mac-
kenzie, and the beating of the covers was conducted by Mr.
Stubbs, gamekeeper. Mr. Fowler, of Raddery, had seve-
ral days' first-rate partridge shooting on the estate of Rose-
haugh. And in the course of four hours, in the end of last
week, Sir Evan Mackenzie, Bart., and three other sportsmen,
shot at Belmadut hy, 93 head of game; there sere in the bag
33 pheasants, the remainder ha:es and partrictes.—lnrerness

SERIOUS ROBBERY AND PARTIIL RECOVERY OF
TrIE STOLEN PROPERTL—A serious robbery was committed
vestoday week, in open day, at the house of Mr. G. Davies,
grocer, Bangor. It appears that on Friday afternoon, be-
tween the hours of one
_and five o'clock, some one entered
the house adjoining Mr. Davies's shop, cud took away a tin
cash box, containing notes, gold, and silver, to the amount
of about 40/.. with a cheque on Messrs. Williams and Co.'s
Bank for 30/ , besides several memorauCa. Ia mediately
upon the discovery a strict inquiry was iusCtutcd, but unfor •
tunately without success ; and en the following day
(Saturday) placards were issued, offering a reward of 2, 1.
tOr the recovery of the property and conrictiou of the
offender. This had doubtless a good effect, for on
Sunday motning early the box and its contents, with
the exception of the money, was found in the Bishop's park,
under Perrallt, by his Lordship's gardener. N,.thing has,
however, been heard as to
.the whereabouts cf the offender,
notwithstanding the police Lave made every exertion. As
to the persm committing the robbery, there can be no doubt
that whoever he may be, it is some one well acquainted with
the premises, and must for some time have watched the
movements of the occupants before his object could be
ac-
ccmplished. We hope, however, that before long the offender
will be apprehended and brought to justice, as robberies are
becoming much more frequent during the winter season of
the yea-, and there seems no probability of their diminution
witii our presentlimited police force. —North Wales,Chronick

and severe hail stet ms, no damage has been done to the
shipping in this harbour, neither has there been';ny wreck in
the bay, cr the fragments of any washed on shore; so it may
be conjectured that, fortunately, all vessels that were going
up c.r down channel have passed unitiured. But not so

neighbourhoed had a mow of corn wholly blown out of the
mowhay, and ethers injured, and other damage done on the
