LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMB

A podee-eotistable stated that the medal and franc
piece were found upon Hamilton.
Ingram denied the c''stge, and Hamilton said t) at the
things were given her.
The jury returned a verdict of Gull against
ton, and acquitted Ingram.
The prisoner Hamilton was then sentenced to six
months' hard labour in the House of Correction.

MARLBRO'-STREET—( THIS DAY.)
I~IURDERUUS ASSAULT ON A FEMALE. William
Benton a stout 3 oung fellow, about six feet high, was
brought before Mr. Hardwick charged with violently as-
saulting. Elizabeth Harris, a❑ unfortunate woman re-
siding in Cromer. street.
The prosecutrix, whose flee and head were covered
with blood, and who altogether presented a dreadful
:appearance, deposed that about three o'clock this morn-
ing she was in Oxford-street, when the prisoner, whom
she had never seen before, came up to her and requested
her to give him some money. She said she had not got
any, and bade him go on. He then laid hold of her
and put his hand down her bosom; she struggled with
him, and ventually got fcom his clutches, and was
running away when he caught hold of her
again, and struck her a tremendous blow on
her face and knocked her down, and while she was lying
on the pavement he kicked her about the head and
other parts of the body with hi, heavy-nailed boots. She
called " Police" and " Murder," and a constable came to
her assistance and took the prisoner into custody. The
prosecutrix was subssquently conveyed to the hospital,
where her wounds were dressed, and she was now in a
very dangerous state from the injuries she had received.
Javons, 89 0, was on duty in Oxford-street when he
heard screams of " Murder" and " Police," and on
running to the corner of Dean-street he saw the
prosecutrix lying on the pavement in a pool
of blood which was flowing from her head
and mouth. Witness placed her in a door-way,
sod with another constable went after the prisoner, who
was running away. Directly the prisoner saw them, he
said, " You if you attempt to take me, I will kick
the front of your skulls in." They then closed with
him, and attempted to take him, but such was his vio- '
lence that they were obliged to have the assistance of
five more constables to convey him to the station.
The prisoner denied the charge, and said his boots
were too thin to inflict such wounds as the woman bore
about her.
The prisoner's boots, by the direction of the magis-
trate, were examined by Robards, the assistant gaoler,
and found to be an inch thick in the sole, iron-tipped, and
thickly studded with nails. A kick from them would be
sufficient to kill an ox.
The prisoner was remanded for a week.

GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY.
Having very recently had occasion to travel from
London to York and back upon the Great Northern
Railway, which our readers will remember was
opened to the public in August last as far as Peter-
borough, it affords us the greatest pleasure to bear our
testimony to the general merits of the line, as a safe,
speedy, and commodious means of transit from the
metropolis to the ancient city of York. For the first
ten or twelve miles from London, the line runs
through a series of short tunnels, working its way
into the open country among and underneath the in-
numerable small picturesque hantets which cluster
around the vicinity of this metropolis. It then pro-
ceeds through Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire, in a
straight line, to Huntingdon, passing in its course
Hatfield, Welwyn, Stevenage, Hitchin, Arsley, Big-
gles wade, Sandy, and St. Neots. From Hatfield it ap-
pears originally to have been the intention of the company
to throw off branches right and left, to Hertford
and St. Alban's, and from Sandy to the town of Bed-
ford, but those works for the present remain in a
state of abeyance. From Huntingdon the lines goes
on to Peterborough, through Holme, and several
other small towns; thence, going through Lincoln-
shire, it diverges by a loop further towards the sea
coast, to the Wash and Boston ; thence it proceeds to
Lincoln ; and thence on to York, by way of Bawtry,
Askerne, Doncaster, and several other important
towns in the East Riding of York. From Bos-
ton there is a very important branch to Hull and
Great Grimsby, running parallel with the sea coast
throughout its entire length, and intersecting the
principal towns in its way. Up to the present time
the direct line from London to York is only com-
pleted as far as Peterborough, but the unfinished por-
tion, running straight across the country from Peter-
borough to Retford and Bawtry, by way of Newark-
upon-Trent, is now in course of rapid con-
struction. Some faint idea may be formed
of the magnitude of this gigantic undertaking, when
we state that the line from London to Peterborough
cost no less a sum than 3,000,0001. The importance of
that portion of the undertaking, irrespective of its
forming a considerable part of the direct line from
London to York, is indicated by its now affording
a new and continuous route from the metropolis, by
Peterborough, to Boston and Hull ; by Lincoln and
Retford to Sheffield ; by Doncaster to Wakefield,
Leeds, York, and the northern counties of England,
and thence into Scotland. The distance by this route
from London to Hull is 173 miles, including the
New Holland ferry, and to York 210 miles. The
distance saved between London and York, even by
the present comparatively circuitous route, is nine
miles, and between London and Peterborough and
London and Lincoln nearly thirty miles.
Such is a concise description of the general direction
which the Great Northern Railway takes. The object of
its directors is to develope the local traffic of the dis-
tricts traversed by the main line and loop, and to afford
the utmost facilities for the interchange and transmis-
sion of passengers and merchandise from and to the lines
of other companies communicating therewith, without
injuriously competing with them. It is considered,
as a whole, one of the best constructed lines of rail-
way in the kingdom by persons who have travelled
upon it, and who are competent to form an opinion
of its merits. The engineering works throughout are
of the most ample, substantial, and permanent kind,
whilst the carriages and general appointments of the
line are characterised in a remarkable degree by taste,
skill, convenience, comfort, and completeness.
The country it traverses is remarkably picturesque,
with the exception perhaps of Lincolnshire, which
our readers know is flat and marshy. Imagination
cannot conceive more beautiful landscape scenery than
that which the line intersects on its way from the
metropolis to Peterborough. Woodland and water,
hill and dale, meadow and arable land of the (richest
quality, sweetly commingling, and dotted over and
diversified in every direction by towns and hamlets,
chateau-houses, and church spires, the traveller is en-
chanted as he speeds on his way through Hertford-
shire, Bedfordshire, and Huntingdonshire. Seen, as
was our lot, in early morn, when the sun, just peep-
ing above the horizon, bathed the woodland
heights in a sea of golden light, and under an
autumnal sky, when the gladsome earth bore on its
bosom the fruits of an abundant harvest, and the va-
riegated tints of the umbrageous woods spoke both of
beauty and decay—when sir and sky were vocal with
the melody of birds, and the jocund song or whistle
of the ploughboy as he " drove his team afield "—the
exquisite repose and beauty of landscape scenery so
endlessly rich and varied as that, sheds over the mind
and heart, susceptible of emotion, an influence touch-
ing and ennobling in the enjoyment, sweet in the
recollection.

From Peterborough to Lincoln, by way of Boston.
the country through which the line runs being ex-
tremely flat, is almost wholly destitute of interest.
One sight, however, on this portion of the journey,
gives rise to some degree of reflection. For miles
over miles thereabouts, the line runs alongside—on
the very banks, in:fact —of one of those large river-canals
which used, not many years ago, to carry on their
bosoms the passenger traffic and merchandize between
all the important towns of the midland counties of
England especially. As the train sped along
the banks of this great highway, it was cu-
rious to observe how completely its waters were
deserted, and how the traffic which aforetime it
wafted from place to place was now divided and borne
to its destination by a rival power with almost the
velocity of the wind, and which mocks the highway
it has supplanted by travelling along its very margin.
Could the Duke of Bridgewater have had but the
faintest foreshadowing of this mighty change when
he conceived and was working out his great canal
scheme, how he must have faltered in the execution
of his purpose. The expectation of the directors at
present we believe is, that the station at King's•cross
will be erected and fit for use, and the remainder of
the direct line to -York be completed towards the end
of next year, thereby realising one of the prime ob-
jects of the company—the shortening the journey
from London to York by thirty miles.

measure for the extension of the electoral qualification. We
are now enabled to add, that not only will the contemplated
measure greatly enlarge the number of voters in cities and
boroughs, but that it will make a great addition to the county
constituencies. One of its leading provisions has been men-
tioned to us; but it would be premature to promulgate it
until it has formally received the sanction' of the Cabinet.
We may, however, mention, that should the provision in
question be adopted, of which we believe that there can be
little doubt, it will add nearly 300,000 to the county consti-
tuencies of England and Wales. We can farther state, that,
with the view of making the intended measures as complete
and satisfactory as possible, Ministers have lately caused in-
quiries to be made into the operation of the present electoral

ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY.—The usual monthly,'
meeting of this society took place on Monday evening, Mr.
G. R. Waterhouse, President, in the chair. The Rev.
Joseph Greene, Miss Stonford, and Thomas Thompson,
Esq., were elected subscribers to the society. Mr. Shepherd
exhibited a specimen of noaagria canna; that was henna.
phrodite. Mr. S. Stevens exhibited three cocoons of a
bombyx, from Columbia, in each of which he had found
two pupa;; he also exhibited the four new coleoptera, de-
scribed by Mr. Newman in the Zoologist. Mr. J. F. Stephens
exhibited specimens from Scotland of dictyopterus aurora
and tinea ochraeeella of Tengstrom ; the latter had been
found by Mr. Weaver in ants' nests. Mr. Bond exhibited
several rare lepidoptera, taken at Ventnor in August. A
specimen of cleilephila celerio was exhibited by the President
on the part of Mr. G. Ransome. Papers, by Mr. Saunders,
on Australian longicorus; by Mr. Hewitson, on new papili-,
oaidw; and by Mr. Westwood, OA evania, were then rod.

THE FIFTH OF NOVEMBER.

Yesterday being the anniversary of the gunpowder
plot, the appointed services were read in the several
churches, together with the Act of Parliament passed
in tee 3.1 James I. for the observance of the day. The
royal standard was hoisted at the Tower, Somerset-
house, the Admiralty, the church of St. Martin-in-
the-Fields, &c., and the shipping in the river and the
docks were decorated with flags. At one o'clock
salutes were fired from the Tower, St. James's-park,
Woolwich, and at the several forts and garrisons
throughout the kingdom.
The recent unpopular proceedings of the Pope has
had the effect of giving quite a new character to the
—of late years—almost forgotten celebration. From
an early hour yesterday morning the bye streets of the
metropolis and its suburbs were rife with the effigies
of " Guido Fawkes," while crowds of urchins in all
directions called upon her Majesty's liege subjects, in
sonorous tones, to
Remember, remember, the fifth of November!
Gunpowder treason, and plot.
As the day advanced, " Guys of larger growth"
presented themselves in the more frequented tho-
roughfares, attended by numberless idlers, who kept
up a running fire of pellets against the Pope and
Popery. In some cases an attendant carried a bowl
of whitewash and a brush, with which ever and anon
be inscribed on the walls and pavement, in rude
characters, "No Popery," "No wafer-gods," "No
Catholic humbug," and similar anti-Romanist ex-
pressions. The Guys were received with more than
usual welcome by the populace, and the conductors of
the several groups found no difficulty in levying
handsome " mail" on the' passengers.
An impression having obtained that some demon-
stration on a large scale would be made in the vicinity
of the Catholic cathedral in St. George's-fields, a great
many persons assembled at that neighbourhood about
mid-day. Beyond the occasional appearance of an
itinerant " Guy," however, these parties found nothing
to gratify their curiosity. Two or three householders,
probably apprehensive from the proximity of their
residences to the Romish church, that they might be
considered "followers of that faith," and thus meet
with rough treatment, exhibited placards, bearing
loyal and anti-Romanist inscriptions. One lusty
Protestant, in letters three inches deep, called upon
" God to preserve Queen Victoria from the Pope and
Popery ;" another inveighed against the worship of
" wafer-gods;" and a third expressed his unmitigated
contempt for all " Catholic humbug." In brief, with
these few exceptions, there was nothing to distin-
guish the district of the Romish cathedral from any
other part of the metropolis.
About half an hour after noon, there issued from

the purlieus of Farringdon-market into Fleet-street,
a "group of Guys," which—as well from their
colossal size, as by the amusement and laughter taey
occasioned on their progress through the streets—
must be fairly pronounced the pageant of the day.
This group had evidently been "got up" by some
zealous anti-Romanists, regardless of cost. It con-
sisted of about fourteen figures—animate and inani-
mate—presided over by a colossal Guy, about sixteen
feet in height, who elevated in his chariot—a van
drawn by two horses—was compelled to bow down
considerably before he could be made to pass beneath
Temple-bar. This pageant included an animate
effigy of the new Cardinal Archbishop of Westroiaa.
ter, attired in the gaudy • canonical robes of the
Romish church, and wearing the red and broad-
brimmed hat appertaining to his office. The cardi-
nal was supported on the right by a waggish fellow,
habited in the robes of a nun, and upon the left by a
jolly fat monk, who leered impudently under his
mask at the passers-by. There was also a second
figure of a monk looking very lugubriously,
and labelled " St. Guy—the Martyr !" An
animate figure, holding a brush and a
pale of whitewash, inscribed, " Holy water
for the penitent !" A man in barrister's robes,
and three or four masks, completed the group. The
van bore two large inscriptions, the one " Cardinal
St. Impudence going to take possession of his diocese
in Westminster ;" and the other "Guy Fox going to
be canonised in St. George's•fields ; " and several
smaller ones, such as "No Popery !" &c. On its ap-
pearance in Fleet-street this group attracted an im-
mense crowd, who greeted it with loud cheers and
laughter. Several police officers were in attendance,
and, accompanying the procession to the confines of
the City, gave to it something of an official character.
After passing through Temple-bar the " cardinal "
and the " Guy" were conveyed through the Strand
and Covent-garden Market, thence back into the
Strand to Charing-cross, and after passing up Regent-
street and down Bond-street, returned through
Whitehall over Westminster-bridge to St. George's-
fields, where they arrived shortly after four o'clock.
Although a great concourse of persons attended this
procession throughout the whole route indicated, there
was no attempt at disturbance of any kind during the
day, _ _

The next most imposing " Guy" preambulating the
streets was an equestrian effigy—also of colossal size
—which confined its wanderings to the eastern dis-
tricts of the metropolis, and, like its western proto-
type, was accompanied by a very great crowd of
spectators. Other " smaller fry" thronged the streets
until 1 late hour.

The police regulations for the prevention of fire-
works had the effect of confining the pyrotechnic
displays to the suburban districts of the metropolis,
in some of which very extensive bonfires and other
demonstrations took place.

. .
At seven o'clock several thousands of persons as-
sembled in the Cambridge-heath-road, Bethnal-green,
and the various avenues adjoining, for the purpose of
witnessing the destruction by fire of the effigy of Car-
dinal Wiseman, with those of the eleven bishops.
The piece of ground selected was the green, which
was granted for the purpose by Miss Eastman, the
freeholder. On this space a pile of several loads of
faggots, under which were some tar barrels, was
placed. The effigy of the Cardinal was raised on a
stage properly suspended in the centre of the pile, and
those of the bishops were attached to poles. A
splendid display of fireworks followed, a band playing
the National Anthem, which was enthusiastically
responded to.
About dusk, notwithstanding the precept from the
Lord Mayor,some thousand of persons took possession
of Tower-hill, and a continuous discharge of pyro-
technics was kept up without the least intermission
for several hours. Whilst the fireworks were being
letn a off, a lar
"His Holiness "
o
was led into the ground. The animal
donkey, figure, representing
wore a cardinal's hat, and on its tail was placed
a large placard, on which was printed " This is
Wiseman, which produced roars of laughter. Se-
veral persons, representing "right rev, fathers,"
walked at the side of the animal. So great did the
crowd at length get that it was found necessary to
have a large body of police under Mr. Inspector Tod-
hunter, to preserve something like order, and
the property of the inhabitants.
At Bonner's-fields the effigy of the Pope, in his
full canonicals, was destroyed in the presence of an
immense number of persons, who testified their ap-
probation by hearty cheers, mingled with cries of
"Down with the Pope" and a continuous discharge
of fireworks. __ _ guard

At the Surrey side of the water similar expressions
of public disapprobation were evinced last night; and
owing to the large number of fireworks discharged
it was apprehended that some mischief might ensue.
The firemen of the London Brigade were, therefore,
ordered to be in constant readiness, in case their
services might be required.
Up to ten o'clock last
night, however, no accident of any importance had
happened.
At Richmond the inhabitants showed their disap-
proval in every conceivable way of the appointment
made by the Pope. The discharges of fireworks, and
the destruction of the Pope's effigy, proceeded with
great spirit.
At Hampton Court, Kingston, Blackheath-park,
Guildford, Godalming, and various other places, there
were also anti-Popery demonstrations.
A t Exeter there was a grand procession of Guys,
in which the Popes, the Cardinal Archbishop of
Westminster, the Inquisitor-General, the new Popish
bishops and the Romish priests disguised as Puseyite
clergymen, all appeared in appropriate costumes.
The priests disguised as Puseyites chaunted the fol-
lowing song as the procession proceeded :

" We stick firm to the loaves and fishes,
And hold fast with very great care;
It is clear if we give up cur livings,
We cannot yet live upon air.
Sing fal de lal, &c.
" The world no doubt hypocrites Call Uas
And bid us act honest and fair,
But what can wo do with our wives then,
For they cannot yet live upon air.
Sing fal de Jai, &c.,,

The procession entered the Cathedral-Yard about
half-past eight, and moved round the yard. The
procession stopped at intervals, for those who liked it,
to kiss the great toe of the Pope, and then proceeded
to the bonfire, where the Pope and Cardinal were
hanged on a gibbet, and burnt with all the indignity
heaped upon them, which their late daring and impu-
dent, but at the same time contemptible usurpation of
power over the British people deserves.

Notwithstanding these general expressions o' tte

have taken place.

honourable Privy Council is appointed to meet in ti e

FRASER.
We entuo enl 'o th, attentive perusal of all re-
acti.maries, Young Englanders, Protectionists, Char-
tists, SoL:laiists, uotiimat,ists, et. hoc gums omne, the
perusal of the opening► article of Fraser for this
mouth. It is entitled " Comfortable Doctrine of
Compensations," and it proves by various instances
that every one of the magic changes of these eventful
tunes, howsoever they may have overwhelmel some
with sorrow and perplexity, have more than compen-
sated for the temporary and partial evil they have
occasioned by the permanent good they have brought
about, and that even the sufferers themselves are ulti-
mately compensated. Take, for instance, the case of
the present low price of agricultural produce :
" In the first Face, there is the compensation. often
overlooked but not the less real, of a diminished price
of the first necessaries of life to the producer himself,
to his family and household; secondly, the farmer can
procure at a more economical rate the produce which he
does not raise, but which he requires fur the feeding of
stock; thirdly, it' he have previously paid wages duly
proportioned to the then price of food, he can safely re-
duce thew, and if a just rent, he may demand a reduc-
tion at least proportioned to the landlord's gain in the
shape of cheap provisions. Further, as cheap food re-
sults from large production, he must of necessity employ
rather more than less labour, and so still further reduce
the poor•rate already diminished by the low price of
food consumed within the workhothe. The burden of
county-rates is also diminished; for cheap food means a
lower expenditure on the inmates of prisons, and a re-
diroion in the numfer of commitments. All these com-
peosations, however, are trivial when compared with the
great gain to the nation by a diminished price of the
first necessaries of life. Does not all history teach us
that cheap food means, not merely less crime and less
paup,,rism, but less political excitement—in orderly com-
mu,,ities fewer riots, in turbulentones fewer revolutions?
Riots and revolutions are, as we all know, the common
consequences of want of employment in dense town po-
pulations; and that want of employment is always co-
incident with a high price of provisions, and rapidly dis-
appears as the price of food falls. In our English towns,
with our liberty of action and speech, dear food and
scanty occupation, if they proceed beyond turbulent
public meetings, show themselves in conflicts with the
police; but in Paris the same causes work out into revo-
lutions. We are convincei that all the revolutions of
France have been really due to these causes, and not to
mere political theories; and just because the price of
food is now very low, we do not look forward to another
revolution emanating from that centre of turbulence till
we again enter upon the cycle of dear food. One obvious
advantage of this view of the case is, that it lowers dis-
turbances and revolutions from the high dignity of chil-
dren of the intellect and conscience, to the less flattering
parentage of the appetite cheated of its due supply of
food. If we are right, and more faith is really to be
placed in the low price of food than in the sword of Chan,
gamier, the English agriculturist, in common with the
rest of the world, may thank what he regards as a per-
sonal calamity for the peace which is so necessary an ele-
ment in the prosperity of all nations, and of all the in-
dividuals of which they consist.
" The rationale of this order of compensations is very
simple. A low price of food immediately affects every
consumer in the kingdom. He pays less for the loaf of
bread, and the pence which he thus saves are spent in
clothi❑g, books, and other common necessaries, and in
luxuries bordering upon them. The demand on the retail
dealer is soon felt in the wholesale warehouse, and
thence is transmitted to the great seats of manufacture.
In this way the depression of the agriculturist leads in-
evitably to the elevation of the manufacturing interest.
The two will then, for the first time, flourish in harmony,
when cheap food shall be fully compensated bytincreased
production. This, according to the modern school of
political economy, is the destined work of free trade, with
its corollaries of free labour and diminished taxation."

The writer gives us a still stronger case, viz., the case
of the slop system. Of this system he says :
"Even this evil is not without its bright side. By
providing cheap clothing for the masses, it has met a
demand which it was of the first importance to supply,
and has been instrumental, to a certain degree, in di-
minishing the numbers of ragged and ill-dressed people.
But it has had another good result. It has brought,
within much narrower limits the old system of doing
business at the West•end, by means of long credits and
high-prices—a system which compelled the punctual
paymaster to discharge the debts of dishonest noble-
men and gentlemen, who were accordingly clothed at
his charge, very much to their own satisfaction and his
disgust. Through the competition of Messrs. Moses,
llyam, and Nicoll, this system has happily received its
death-blow, to the great relief of poor parsons, doctors,
and lawyers."

Very rich men, who know not the value of money,
or very unprincipled men, who pay their debts by a
periodical appearance in the Insolvent or the Bank-
ruptcy Courts, may magniloquently rail against the
purchasers of cheap goods ; but the industrious man,
who honestly pays his debts, hails the cheapness
of provisions and of clothing as a blessing. Our
friend, the Naturalist, gives us much curious infor-
mation concerning the habits of the turtle tribe, and
intersperses his communication with much gastrono-
mic lore touching the cooking and feeding of the
green species, the furnishers of Callipee and Calli-
pash ; and a New Yorker continues his sketches of
American Society. We have also reviews of Captain
Hervey's " Ten Years in India," of M. Romieu'e
work onCresarism," of M. CAnacbe's Life of T. 11..

leons in Transylvania

BENTLEY.

The present is an excellent number of the Miscel-
lany, the papers are numerous, are all well-written,
and the charm of variety has been effectively secured.
The opening paper, " A Sketch of the Siege of Mool-
tan," by John James Cole, will be read with much
interest. Mr. Cole was assistant-surgeon in the
allied army —that army which was created by the
genius and exertions of Major Edwardes, of whom we
have an engraved portrait in illustration of the article.
Mr. Cole was with Major Edwardes during the whole
of the Mooltan campaign, and has, in this vivid
sketch, recorded his reminiscences of it from the rais-
ing of the troops by Edwardes and Courtland, to the
moment when the fisg of England waved upon the
walls of the captured city. Mr. Robert Bell's
admirable novel, of " The Ladder of Gold,"
is fast drawing to a conclusion ; in the present
instalment we learn that Crickey Snaggs is the
his
use son of Raggles, who had intrusted 5001. for

present number a translation of the Count de Manta-

Montelivet was himself the Intendant of the Civil
List, and is, therefore the person of all others, next to
Louis Philippe himself, the most personally interested
in making out a "good case," we must confess that it
would have been more satisfactory to have had the

tion of the statements of the Count de Montalivet.
