and will not sell bat at an advance on last quarterly

SUPERSTITION.

The days of fairies, ghosts, and goblins have not yet
passed away, notwithstanding the numerous and severe
strictures of the press upon the fallacy of such notions as
are sometimes entertained respecting them. The su-
perstitious belief in their existence, and in their ability
and willingness to reveal the hidden things of the
future, in order to aid a favoured mortal to attain some
desired end, seems to prevail to an incredible extent
in the mountainous districts of Wales. Of this gross
credulity the following case will serve as a sample,
and may be relied on as perfectly true. It refers to
an alleged disclosure of treasures hidden deep in the
bosom of old mother earth. The person to whom the
pretended revelations were made is a labouring
miner near Mold. He was first, he says, accosted
by his unearthly visitant (a female) at midnight.
She came to his bedside, gently tapped him on the
shoulder, and desired him to get up and follow her,
which he unhesitatingly did. Perhaps the appear-
ance of the ghost in the shape of a middle-aged
woman emboldened the knight-errant to obey her
behest. Be this as it may, he makes a market
of her disclosures. Upon the strength of what
this man states, a company of adventurers com
menced operations by opening a new mine. They
have sunk a shaft to the depth of forty-two yard,
and are, according to the miner's statement of what
the ghost communicated to him, within a few
yards of the lead ore ; but, as crosses will be the
portion of mortals, the agent of the proprietor of
the land has strictly prohibited them from continuing
the work, and the " land of promise" is destined
to be inaccessible for some time to the luckless
adventurers. The ghost is upon good, easy, familiar
terms with the miner, and hes appeared to him about
sixty times, occasionally meeting him in some iso-
lated spot, and accompanying him a mile or se, con-
versing freely as they proceed, till they arrive at
the miner's house, when she quietly opens the door,
waits his ingress, then closes the door, and previous
to her departure very politely end unostentatiously
slips into his hand a piece of what is gravely suspected
to be gold, but which he molt pertinaciously refuses
to give a name to. The ghost also gave a minute de-
scription of the different strata through which they
were to pass in sinking, and was so very parti-
cular as to specify the day, hour, and minute upon
wnich each successive change in the soil would take
place, and her predictions have been verified to the
very letter. This strange set of credulous mortals
patiently await the time for permission from the agent
to continue operations; and when the " good time"
come!, they entertain not the slightest doubt that the
earth is certain to yield the much-coveted treasure to
them —Carnarvon Herald.

PEDESTRIANISM.
GREAT FOOT RACE FOR 100 SOI s.—H. A. REED, OF
LONDON, AND GEORGE SEWARD, THE AMERICAN WON-
DER.—The two most remarkable runners of the pre-
sent day met yesterday, at Boxmoor, in Hertford-
shire, to decide over a quarter of a mile of turnpike
road, which should wear the title of " Champion,"
andireceive the " Victcrias" contingent on touching
the goal first. Tho piece of ground selected was near
the Boxmoor station on the North-Western line, on
the road running from the village towards the rail-
way arch near which the stipulated 440 yards
termina'ed. The betting was in favour of the " Lon-
don man," as he was termed, at 6 to 4 ; but
little b4ore the start 5 to 4 was all that would be
laid. At a few minutes past tour the men appeared and
stripped at the scratch, and certainly two finer models
in different styles of speed and power could not
have been imagined. Both appeared faultless in
condition. Seward went away first, almost a yard, but
was Reed, who ran I% ith him shoulder
to shoulder caughtfor2s byOto 300 yards. The strenuous and
rapidly repeated efforts by which Seward, leaning forward
and gathering his clenched fists close to him, seemed to
drive the very road behind him, were strikingly con-
trasted with the style of Reed, who, almost up-
right, his clenched hands vibrating at every stride,
seemed to cover a space of ground at every spring
the owner of the " seven-leagued boots."

ceived, would, ne doubt, have resulted in the demolition

were destroyed in the furnace-room before the fire was
extinguished.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
WESTMINSTER.
William Goss, butler, in the establishment of Mr.
A. R. Drummond, of Bryanston-square, was charged
with a breach of the peace, and endeavouring to force
his way into St. Barnabas Church, Pimlico.
A number of residents in the vicinity of the sacred
edifice, and others, were present, anxious to hear the
proceedings.
Mark Loom, 11 B, sworn—ln consequence of a
disturbance yesterday week at St. Barnabas Church, I
was sent there yesterday morning with two other con-
stables. We remained in the church until about a
quarter-past eleven, at which hour a gentleman left
it, and in consequence of the hurried way in which
he did so, I suspected something was wrong. He
left the outer gate, which had been previously locked,
open ; and after he had been gone about three mi-
nutes, a large crowd of persons came rushing down
the street.
Mr. BRODERIP—How many ? Witness—From two
to three hundred.
Mr. BRODERIP—What next occurred ? Witness—
Several forced tbeir way into the gate, and I tried to
keep them out. It was the side gate, leading to a
small yard. I got the gate partially to. Defendant
had one leg on the gate, the other outside, and the
mob behind urged him on to come in. I still, with
assistance, kept the gate closed as well as I could. I
told the defendant that the church was full, and that
I could not admit any more. The people outside
said, " Pull the gate down." Defendant said,
" If you do not let us in we'll pull them down."
Mr. BRODERIP—How many persons were there as-
sembled at that time ? ;Witness About three
hundred.

Mr. BRODERIP—Of what description ? Witness—
Of ad classes; of the most respectable, and of the
very lowest order. The mob were calling out, "We
will have no Popery. No Puseyism. We will
pull the church down."
Mr. Broderip—Did the defendant use any of the
language ? Witness—l did not hear him. I got the
gate closed, and sent to the station. The congrega-
tion *ere much alarmed. A great many of them
came out of the church door into the yard. The mob
was then so great that I could not let any one in or
out. In twenty minutes after I should say that a thou-
sand people were present.
Mr. BRODERIP—Was the superintendent of the
division there ? Witness—Yes, Superintendent Rus-
sell was, shortly after the commencement.
Mr. Beckerson, an inspector of the B division—

It was necessary to have a hundred men, nearly,
there, to clear the streets, some of whom remained
for several hours.
Mr. Beonneip to Loom—You was inside the
church at first ? Witness--Yes, your worship.
Mr. BRODERIP—What was going on ? Witness
—The service was similar to a Catholic place of
worship.
Mr. BRODERIP—Were the candles lighted ? Wit••
ness—Yes.
Mr. BRODERIP —At what hour ? Witness—Half-
past ten or eleven.
Mr. BRODERIP to defendant —Would you ask this
witness any question P You are at perfect liberty to
do so if you thick fit.
Defendant—He says my leg was between the gate ;
that is false.
Sergeant Loom—lt was.
Defendant—He swears falsely.
Mr. 13RODERIP—I cannot allow such language to be
used. You are at liberty to ask the witness any ques-
tion you please, and if it be a proper one, I will take
care that he shall answer it, but an opportunity will
be afforded you at the proper time for making your
defence.
Mr. W. Cumming, an inspector of the B division,
sworn—At about half-past eleven yesterday morning
several gentlemen came to the Pimlico station, and I
went with a body of men to St. Barnabas Church. In
Church-street I found about a thousand persons,
principally thieves and the worst of characters about
Chelsea, Pimlico, and Westminster; amongst these I
was sorry to observe a great number of gentlemen.

Mr. B-RODERIP—You- have no doubt Of that ? Wi
ness—Not the slightest.
iVitness continued—The street
.was completely
blocked up. The mob were shouting and making use
of the most violent language of every description, and
there was every indication of a serious riot taking
place. I gave immediate directions to clear the street.
While doing so several gentlemen came up to me,
amongst whom was the defendant, and persisted that
I had no right to give such instructions. They said
every person there had a right to be there, and seeing
the defendant was taking the lead in the matter, I ad-
dressed myself to him. The people at that time were
calling out, " Down with the gates—break the doors
open." I then said to the defendant, seeing, as I have
before stated, that he was taking the lead, " What-
ever principles may be in dispute, I have nothing to
do with; here is a serious riot, which I, as an officer,
am determined to put down." I then directed two of
the men (constables) to put him back, with those who
were with him, and after two or three minutes I lost
sight of him. My attention was next directed to the
defendant surrounded by five or six of the gentlemen
already described, and a mob of from two to three
hundred persons of the lowest character, shouting
and urging him on. He was then forcing his
way in a doorway which was shut, and where
two constables were. I heard them caution him,
order him off, saw them put their hands to him to
put him back, when he slipped by them, and again
went to the door. This conduct induced the mob to
shout out, " Tear the gates down—we'll have no such
mummery here," and other similar expressions.
Seeing he was determined to persevere, and knowing
that, if I did not take active steps, a serious riot
might ensue, I directed the defendant might be taken
into custody. I see three of the gentlemen now pre-
' sent who were urging him on, hut, as they were not
so bad, I did not take them.
Mr. H. Bradley, of 35, Hasker-street, Pimlico,
proved that he and several other respectable persons
were desirous of entering the church, but found the
doors closed. Some forced their way into the door,
declaring that the church was not full, as was stated
' as the reason for closing the doors, nor half full, and
accordingly those outside insisted upon being ad-
mitted. The defendant was amongst those who in.
sisted upon going in, and was one who resisted the
police in maintaining order, by creating a crowd round
the church, and reassembling at the door after
the road was cleared. He was ordered back, but re-
sisted by pushing forward in order to get to the
church door.
Charles Chinn, 255 A, also gave testimony, provinw
defendant's insisting upon entering the church, and
pushing forward as described to the door. There
was a great deal of hissing, and cries of "No
Popery !"
A constable named Kilhy, who took the defendant
into custody, was called at his request to prove that
he was standing with one foot in the gutter and the
other on the pavement when he was taken.
In reply to the charge, the defendant, who is a
very respectable, quiet-looking man, said that when
first taken to the station he was only charged with
creating a disturbance, but when his bail came there
was the addition of forcibly trying to get into the
church when there was no room. The fact was, that
he was desirous of entering the church, and was much
surprised to find the doors closed against him. He
had no desire to make a disturbance, but having left
home to go to church, was desirous of being admitted.
When be arrived at the door he found some gentle-
men who were also shut out, and who demanded ad-
mission, asking a man at the door why he held it. The
wan showed his authority, and the gentlemen read it,
and having laughed at it, put their shoulders to
the door and forced their way in, declaring their right
to admission, followed by a dozen others. Defendant
most positively declared that he never touched the
door in the whole course of the time—had never made
a disturbance, and was as quiet at the time he was
taken as at the present moment. Several gentlemen
had volunteered to come forward in his behalf, to
prove the truth of his assertion, but he had hardly
thought it necessary to trouble them. Some were,
however, he believed, in attendance.
Mr. G. Freeman, of Pont-street, Belgrave-square,
grocer, said he was present, and 'did not see the de•
fendant speak to, push, er lay hands upon the police.
He did not observe Mr. Cumming speak to him at
ail, nor observe any riotous conduct on the part of the
accused. The police took him by the collar.
In reply to questions from Mr. Cumming, the
witness said be heard a great shouting, and cries of
"No Popery" several times. Witness did not fancy
that it might come to a serious disturbance. Amongst
the crowd there was a great many tradespeople living
in the neighbourhood. There were also a great many
bad characters from Jew's-row. He would not con-
sider his property safe, if a hundred such as those
were around with an intention to molest it.
Mr. John Mitchell, of Chester-street, Grosvenor-
place, also stated that he was near defendant, and saw
nothing improper in his behaviour. Witness had
started for his own place of worship, but hearing
about St. Barnabas being a Puseyite church, thought
he would go and see what sort of place it was. Wit-
ness heard a great !many gentlemen complaining
loudly of not being admitted, and saw them push the
doorkeepers on one side. He also saw several gentle-
men climbing over the stone wall round the church
to get out from it.

Mr. Z. 0. Berry, ironmonger, of 3, Victoria-road,
one of the trustees of the district, after detailing the
expressions of annoyance felt by a great number of
gentlemen at being refused admittance at a few
minutes past eleven, and the circumstance of the
party, among whom was a nobleman living in Eaton-
Once, as before described, said that a few minutes
after that, a gentleman who came out of the church
over the wall, declared " he was disgusted, the candles
were lighted ; it was Popery in its most malignant
form," and that led to the cry outside of "No
Popery." They would not let the people out from the
church at the gate, and up to that time nineteen•
twentieths of the assemblage were gentlemen or
tradesmen of the district. A boy in an undress
livery came up with a life-preserver in his hand, and
witness called the attention of the police to it.
Mr. BRODERIP said—Now the whole case is before
me, on one side and the other, and it is quite clear that
there was a very large assemblage, a large crowd of
persons, partly consisting of persons described as gen.
tletnen, and of thieves. The question before me is,
whether the defendant was at all active in leading the
mob, or merely doing what he had a right to do--
going into church. Although some said there was no
room inside the church, it was perfectly clear that
others declared there was. I cannot find anything that
he did except putting his foot inside the door, and that
is denied ; and witnesses are called who swear that he
did not do so; therefore, taking the case as far as he
. is concerned, I do not think it one for me to call upon
defendant for sureties for his good behaviour, and I
therefore dismiss the complaint; but the Queen's peace
must be kept, and I am determined that it shall be
kept in this district. At the same time, added the
worthy magistrate, with visible emotion, I must ob-
serve that those have much to answer for who provoke
tin people by ceremonies which may appear to be
more in accordance with the spirit of the Itomish re-
ligion than the purity of our reformed Church, at
such a time as the present.
A burst of applause from the auditory followed,
which was immediately suppressed by the officers of
the court.

suggest the Arabia as a significant and elegant title for
any other ship which hereafter may be built.--Liverpool
