SOUTHEY'S LIBRARY.

On Friday commenced (at Leigh Sothbey's) the six-
teen days' sale of the library of the late Robert Southey,
LL.D., Poet Laureate. There are nearly 4,000 lot
many of them necessarily consisting of several volumes.
The library is rich and useful in ancient and modern
works—Latin, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Eng-
lish predominating. They are in remarkably clean and
good condition, their late owner obviously having an
almost fastidious sense for neatness and regularity ; so
much so, that where the binder did not letter the book,
ho has done so fully and instructively ; and where
the binding or boards were rough and imperfect, he
(or the late Mrs. Southey) has neatly and strongly
attired them in thick cloth of variegated patterns.
Plainness and neatness, rather than showiness, cha-
racterise this valuable library throughout. It has all
the appearance of being the working library of a gen-
tleman and a scholar ; but of one who most truly en-
joyed himself--who obviously luxuriated—when sur-
rounded by his books. Many of the volumes have his
autograph on the title-page, with date and place, it ap-
pearing to have been his practice, especially with pur-
chases that he rather valued, to add to his name the
place and time where and when bought. Many
have the addition of " Bristol," " London," " Edin-
burgh," " Brussels," &c. ; and most of them
seem to have been carefully read by him, to infer
from neat little pencil " ticks " in the margins,
noting obviously particular passages ; but there
are seldom any notes or scratches in the
body of the volumes, his love of neatness apparently
prevailing against that disfiguring of pages and print to
which many readers and writers find it so convenient
sometimes to resort. The MS. illustrations in his own
hand, and of which there are many, chiefly consist of
very closely written and condensed paragraphs on the
spare leaves fronting the title pages, penned with that
sharp clearness and rigidity of penmanship which cha-
racterised Mr. Southey's handwriting. He, however,
seems never to have written as if he were in a hurry ;
and yet how much he wrote, as the world knows, inde-
pendently of making entries in his books of opinions, or
information respecting them.

LONDON, MONDAY, MAY 13, 1844.

No man holds a mof:.= enviable position in society
at the present day, than Lord ASHLEY. He has
sacrificed office, end pensions, and political power for
the good of those who had none to help them. He is
called a visionary and enthusiast, but these are mere
words, and have been applied to all reformers. The
greatest of reformers and the best friend, too, of the
poor had to submit to the same obloquy. Lord
ASHLEY, when his party came into office, might
}lave had almost any situation that he could have
named, but when he found the Government hostile
to the great object he had in view, he rejected any
offer, he stood firm in his integrity, he followed the
path which conscience dictated, and to his honour he
now stands forward as the protector and advocate of
the poor. And who are these poor?—The labouring
classes, the operatives, the men that perform every
work of drudgery, the sailors and the soldiers
who have defended our country, and rendered her
name illustrious in every quarter of the globe. NEL-
SON and WELLINGTON are entitled to every praise, but
what fame would they have acquired without the
bravery of that class for which Lord ASHLEY now
pleads ? When NELSON gave his last signal, " Eng-
land expects every man to do his duty," was there
any aristocrat, any Lord, or Baronet, or Knight, or
any man whose promotion awaited the result, who
fought more manfully for his country than the com-
mon sailor ? When NAPOLEON, for eight hours, at
the battle of Waterloo, made the most furious and
vigorous attacks ever 'made against any army, who
crowned the heights between Hougomont and La
Haye Sainte ?—who stood immoveable against the
showers of bullets, and the attacks of the finest
cavalry and artillery in the world ?—who formed
that impenetrable line which General For, an

UNION-HALL.

Two men named Murphy and Clarke, and a woman named
Palmer, were charged before Mr. Cottingham with breaking
into the house of blr. Taylor, landlord of the Black Horse,
in Black Horse-court, Southwark, and stealing a variety of
property.
It appeared that between one and two o'clock this morn-
ing, a policeman on duty in the above court, saw the two
male prisoners in the act of dropping from the wall of the
yard at the rear of the premises. The female was apparently
waiting for them, and when they were all secured, it was
found that the above house had been broken into, the:thieves
having effected an entrance by getting through the first-floor
window into the club-room, and from thence into the bar,

Another charge was entered into against the prisoners, by
which it appeared that on Saturday last the " Marquis of
Granby," in Lambeth, was broken into awl ribbed, and the

prisoners having been there the preceding night, they were
suspected of having committed the offence.—Remanded.
Two well-dressed young men, named Edwards and John-
son, were charged with stealing a piece of cloth, value 171.,
from the shop of Mr. Somers, woollen draper, of Bridge-
house-place, Newington.
The prisoners entered the complainant's shop that morn-
ing, between eight and nine o'clock, under the pretence of
getting measured for some trousers. They left
the shop, and one of them returned again, and no
person being there at the time, he ran to the shelves,
and taking down a piece of cloth immediately rushed out of
the shop, joined his companion, and they both went to a cab,
and throwing the load into it were in the act of getting in
themselves, when they were taken into custody. There was
a third person with them who escaped.
The prisoners said they should reserve their defence for
trial. As their companion is likely to be taken into custody
they were remanded.

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDICi EVENING, MAY 13, 1844.

BOW-STREET.

Edward Morfew, a clerk in the service of a convey-
ancer in New-square, Lincoln's Inn, was charged with
repeatedly committing indecent assaults upon a youth
named William Waghorn, in the gallery of the Olympic
Theatre.
The prosecutor, who is employed at a printing-office,
stated that, on passing the theatre, he picked up an ad-
mission ticket for the gallery, which fell from some
person during a dispute in the street, and, having entered
the theatre, he found the prisoner sitting next to him.
Shortly after the offence was committed he left the
house, followed by witness, who could not see a con-
stable to give him in charge ; and, having told him of
his intention to give him into custody, the prisoner
called a cab, and desired the driver to take him to Lei-
cester-square, but witness ran after it, and when the
prisoner got out he gave him in charge to a constable.
The prisoner then said he would prefer a charge of a
similar nature against the complainant, and subsequently
he said it was for attempting, by threats, to extort
money from him.
The prisoner reminded the Court that no person con-
nected with the theatre was apprised of this circumstance,
because the witness wanted to extort money from him
by intimidating him in the public streets.
The prisoner was ordered to enter into bail, himself
in 1001., and two sureties in 50/. each, to answer the
charge at the Central Criminal Court. The required
sureties were in attendance, and the prisoner was dis-
charged. a
William Northcott, shopman in the service of Mr.
Warner, antigropolos manufacturer, in Henrietta-street,
Covent•garden, was charged with embezzling several
sums of money received for and on account of his master.
The prisoner had charge of another establishment in
Bow-street, belonging to the prosecutor, and three gen-
tlemen's servants produced receipts for moneys paid to
him on account of his master, of which no entries ap-
peared in the books. A number of duplicates relating
to other property belonging to the prosecutor was found
in the prisoner's lodging.
Mr. TWYFORD was anxious to know the derivation of
the word by which the property was designated.
Mr. Warner said the word was derived from two
Greek words, and should properly be ugropolos, or pro-
tectors against mud and wet.
The Magistrate seemed as ignorant upon the subject
as before he asked the question, and ordered the prisoner
to be fully committed fur trial.

ART-UNIONS.

Mr. WYSE gave notice that on Wednesday next
he should move for a Select Committee on the subject
of Art-Unions.
FACTORIES BILL.

Lord C. MANNERS presented a petition from
Tenby, in favour of a Ten Hours Bill.
PRIVILEGE.—THEPRIDPORT PETITION.
Mr. B. COCHRANE rose to state to the Hon.
Member for Rochdale (Mr. S. Crawford) the result
of a communication he had received from Bridport
in reference to the petition. • He had requested the
names of those who won supposed to have signed
the petition, to be forwarded to him, this had been
done ; and it was distinctly stated that they were
totally opposed to the prayer of the petition.
He would read to the House the letter he had re-
ceived. It stated that Mr. Crawford had presented
a petition on the Bth of March, 1844, purporting to
be from the inhabitants of Bridport, praying that the
supplies for the army and navy might be stopped
till the grievances of the people were redressed. The
persons who signed the letter, stated that they denied
having ever signed the petition, or having authorised
any person to sign it on their behalf, as the senti-
ments entertained were contrary to thoir opinions. They
requested him (Mr. Cochrane) to bring the matter
before the llouse. He did not know that it was of
sufficient importance to do so, but he was bound to
consult the wishes of his constituents.

Mr. S. CRAWFORD said that he was now pre-
pared to give the Hon. Gentleman some further in-
formation on the subject. He had that morning
received a letter from a gentleman named Northw•ell,
who wrote to him in consequence of what had taken
place in the House on the subject. That gentleman
stated that he got up and forwarded the petition ;
he stated that he himself had witnessed the greater
number of the signatures, but that a person was
employed to carry about the petition, who was not
at present in the borough ; he said he would make
every inquiry on the subject, but was not aware of
any person having signed the petition for another. With
regard to himself, he thought the Hon. Gentleman op-
posite was imposing too much on Members when he
said they should inquire into the names of those who
sent petitions to them. It would be impossible for
him to inquire into the names of those who signed the
petitions sent to him; but at the same time he was
anxious that the petitions he presented should be in-
vestigated. _ _ _

METROPOLITAN IMPROVEMENTS.—During the last
week much progress was made in the formation of the new
street leading from Oxford-street to Holborn, as above half
of the south side has been excavated for the cellars of the
new houses to be erected there. In the course of a few days
the cellars will be built from Oxivi*J..r.itreet to Charlotte-
street, Bloomsbury, when there will be soon ail.C.7 a direct
thoroughfare in that locality. In Holborn, on the north side
of the new street, several cellars have been laid down, and the
street widened to the intended width, as they have been
covered with gravel. There are now but a few houses to be
disposed of, to be taken down for the new street, In a few
rian the houses in Long Acre, and at the end of Hanover-
stat, to form the new street from Waterloo -bridge to Broad-
street, St Giles's, belonging to the Mercers' Company, will be
sold, which will leave only two or three houses to be removed
at that spot. It is expected that in a short time the Com-
missioners for the Metropolitan Improvements will issue their
plang tor some of the new buildings.

CRIMINAL JUSTICE.

On the order of the day fur bringing up the report on
the Criminal Justice (Middlesex) Salary Bill,
Mr. IIUME asked what the amount of the salary
was to be?

Sir J. GRAHAM said the Bill only contained a pro-
vision for a salary—the amount of it was open to the
consideration of the House.—Report received.
TURNPIKE TRUSTS.
Ou bringing up the Report on the Turnpike Trusts
(South Wales) Salaries Bill,

Mr. HUME said there was no statement of what was
to be the amount of the salaries of the Commissioners
and the Secretary.
_ _

Sir J. GRAIIAM was understood to say that the
amount was to be taken out of the proceeds of the trusts.
Mr. HUME, on that statement, *mild withdraw all
opposition to the Bill.—(Hear, hear.) He hoped to see
the day when all turnpike trusts would be abolished,
and the roads made a county charge.
The report was then received.

The Louse then went into Committee on this Bill.

STRAND THEATRE.

On Mo day a new play, from Boz's popular work of
" Martin Chuzzlewit," was produced for the first time at
the Strand Theatre. The first scenes did not attract
much applause from the house; but as the drama pro-
ceeded, a livelier spirit seemed to be infused into the
performers, which was greatly increased by the appro-
bation that now proceeded from all sides. The conclu-
sion of the first act was the seizure of the roaring lions
by the old Blue Dragon, which was well supported by
the acting of Messrs. Searle and Roberts, who main-
tained their characters with great spirit throughout the
piece. The first scene of the second act, also exhibiting
the death of Anthony Chuzzlewit, was well sustained by
Messrs. W. -Searle and Attwood. Mrs. Gamp's tea
party Also cansed great amusement, especially where she
quarrels with her " blessed Betsy Prig." In fact. the
whole-performance was extremely well sustained.

RAILWAY BILL.

The Lords' amendments to the above Bill were
agreed to.
RIOTS IN DOMINICA.

Mr. HAW Es said he wished to put a question to the
ble Lord the Secretary for the Colonies, on the sub-
ject of the late riots in Dominica. He had received a
letter, which stated that in consequence of some mis-
%lnd, r..tanding on the part of the black population, as to
the objet of taking the census, a riot had taken place,
in w hich those persons had been treated most disgrace-
fully. It was stated that 150 men had been arrested
and dragged to gaol; that three had been killed and
nine wounded; and that one had his head severed from
his body and placed on a pole. He believpd that mar-
tial l'iw now existed, and what he wished to ask of the
Noble Lord was, whether a dispatch, which was written
in 1839, had not continued in force?
Lord STANLEY said that on the 3d of last month a
disturbance had taken place in the island in consequence
of an absurd notion on the part of the blacks that the
census of the population about to be taken was for the
purpose of taking some steps to restore them to
the condition of slaves. He believed that the
revolt was principally owing to some refugees
from the French and other colonies. The
disturbances continued for four or five days, but they
were put down at last, and he had no doubt that martial
law would be put an end to, and that the persons who
were taken would be tried by the ordinary tribunals.
The dispatch of 1839, to which the Hon. Gentleman
had referred, was applicable only to Jamaica.
