BURGESS' ESSENCE of ANCHOVIES,
Warehouse, 107, STRAND, corner of the Savoy-steps, London.
.JOHN BURGESS and SON, being apprised of the numerous en-
deavours made by many persons to impose a spurious article for their
make, feel it incumbent on them to request the attention of the
public, i❑ purchasing what they conceive to be the original to ob-
serve the Name and Address correspond with the above. The gene-
ral appearance of the spurious descriptions will deceive the un-
guarded ; and, for their detection, J. B. and Son, submit the following
cautions:—orne are in appearance at first sight, '' On genuine," but
without name or address ; sdnie " Burgess's Essence of Anchovies,"
and others " Burgiss's ;" and many more without address. John
Burgess and Son, having been many years honoured with such dis-
tinguished approbation, feel every sentiment of respect towards the
public, and earnestly solicit them to inspect the labels previous to
purchasing what they conceive to be of their make, which they hope
will prevent many disappointments.

BURGESS' NEW SIiJCE, for general purposes, having given such
great satisfaction, continues to be prepared by them, and is recom-
mended as a most useful and convenient sauce ; will keep good in all
climates.

CANDLES SUPERIOR IN THEIR BURN-

throughout the Country at One Shilling per lb.
Parties who are in the habit of burning two tallow moulds of four
to the lb , are respectfully requested to make the experiment
whether a single " PRICE'S PATENT CANDLE" of six to the lb.
will not give more light; and whether, therefore, these Candles do
not afford a cheaper source of light than the commonest tallovi-
ones, notwithstamding the difference In price per lb.
Care must be taken to ask for them in the shops under the name
given above, as there are some imitations sold under the name" Com-
posite," by which Price's Patent Candles were originally made
public.

We do not intend to increase the renown
Of Candidate Heppe], or Candidate Brown.
Nor is it intended by MOSES an I SON,
To utter a sentence agains, either one.
But as many folks wonder why " we didn't stand,
We wish to explain you our reason), off-hand.
The reason that no sash ao effort was made
Is nothing at all but " the pre sure of trade "
E. MOSES and SON have such business on hand,
1 hat really 'twould not have been prudent to stand.
A liberal public are crowding our Mar!,
And thousands of patrons their favours impart
Nay, you cannot imag ne what business is done
A t the wonderful wardiouse of MOSES and SON.
we at Umes seem to have the whole world to equip,
And hence our decline of the " Chamberlainship."
We truat that this clear explanation (though shot)
Will sufficiently prove that we've done as we ought.
Of course if we'd stood for this high situation,
We shout I each have been objects of high admiration.
And the grand Ctvic place would have surely been won,
By Alderman MOSES. or MOSES' Son.

The DIRECTORS hereby give notice to Members whose Pre.
miums fall due on the sth of Octcher next, that the same must be
paid within thirty days from that date.
The premiums are payable yearly, hal f.yearlv, or quarterly, on the
sth of January, sth of April. sth of July, and sth of October, either
of which several days constitutes the commencement of the year to
Members. Persons, therefore, desirous of entering the Society, as
Members, on the sth of Uc'ober next, should appear, or lodge their
proposals at the Office, on or before that day.
So various are the plans now befoce the public for effecting As..
surance on Lite, that it may seem difficult to make choice between
them. As, however, all prudent offices make a considerably higher
charge in the annual premium than experience has hitherto shown
to be necessary, but differ in the mode of disposing of the surplus or
profit, the following classification may be made :
tst. Proprietary. Offices, whe a all the surplus from premiums and
other profits is divided, exclusively, amongst the Share or Stock-
holders.

Ed. Offices where the same is divided in various proportions be-
tween Share and Stockholders and the- Assured.
3d. Offices of -a strictly mutual character, where the whol of the
profit is equitably distributed amongst the Assured only.
The METROPOLITAN, which is of the last class, was established
in 1835, and although no paid agents for town or country have at any
time lven employed, nor any expensive system of advertising re-
sorted to, yet its advantages have been so well appreciated by the
public, that the annual premiums already exceed £49,000.
In consequence of the prosperous state of the Society's affairs, the
Annual Premiums of Members of Five Years' standing have been
reduced FO itTY.TWO AND A HALF per Cent.

WILLIAM LYNN respectfully calls the attention of the nobility,
gentry, lotel-keepers, and others, to this beautifld and cheap article
of importation. It is in soli] blocks, weighing from one to two hun-
dred poknds each, and is as clear as crystal; It can be sent to any
distance, with very trifling waste ; and is used for a ♦ariety of pur-
poses that English Ice cannot be applied to. •
W. h. has imported some PROVISION SAFES from America, for
the use and comfort of Private Families—
The REFRIGERATOR, or (as sometimes designated) a Miniature
Ice-house. This is a sew and useful article of furniture, rapidly
coming into use in northera and southern climes; it is designed to
keep cool and sweet such dishes in the culinary department as are
necessary to be protected from the heat of the weather during tke
summer season.

The Refrigerator is now considered an indispensible article in the
economy of eery good housewife ; the quantity of food it protects
from the weather will more than pay the cost of the article in
one year. _

They may be seen in operation, in their various valuable and useful
purposes, at the Waterloo Hotel, and families can be supplied with
them on moderate terms.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

FROM TUE EVENING PAPERS OF SATURDAY.

GLOBE.—The Standard, of last night, devotes
yet another column to the bootless task of attacking
the decision of the majority of the law Lords, by
which the judgment against O'Connell was reversed,
and to impugning the motives of the three Noble
and Learned Lords who constituted the majority.
If the slightest advantage, even of a party descrip-
tion, could be gained by thus pertinaciously assailing
the decision—if the result, instead of being final
and irreversible, were open to review and recal,
• whatever we might think of the reasonings" of
our Contemporary, we should, at least, have a clue
to the object sought to be attained. But, seeing
that things are as they are—the judgment re-
versed—the order for O'Connell's discharge from
prison issued and acted upon—the prison-doors thrown
open—and the great agitator at large, and again at
the head of the movement, which he animates and
guides—what imaginable object does the Standard,
and those who prompt its attacks, propose to them-
selves by keeping up an incessant wailing against the
" three Whig law Lords " and their votes ? The
disappointment and chagrin which the failure of the
prosecution has inflicted on the Government, and on
the Ultras who counselled the ill-advised proceed-
ings, would excuse, for a time, the impotent rage of
a party whose favourite scheme was frustrated at the
very moment they were anticipating triumph from
success. But to continue the howl of misery, " from
eve to morn, from morn to dewy eve," is rather too
bad. We admit the violence of the blow—we concede
that the effects are stunning—that the mischiefs it
produces to the policy and hopes of the party are
great, and are likely to be ruinous. But "it is not
in mortals to command success." The Government
and its employes did what they could to secure it.
No one can say that they allowed the trifling consi-
derations o*stice, or even the semblance of justice,
to operate against the attainment of their preconcerted
designs. They made a bold push for a complete
triumph over a political opponent. If O'Connell be
not, now a prisoner; if he be not now under the lock
and key of the gaoler, and held under the yet more
effectual and tremendously heavy recognizances to
keep—what the law designates, but does not define—
the peace; recognizances which he might be unable
to find, and thus his imprisonment be continued for
years—if these desirable results be not secured—this
consummation, so devoutly to be wished" by every
Tory heart, be not realised; the blame is neither with
the' Government, nor with those to whom it commit-
ted the conduct of the proceedings. The indictment
was of enormous length; a very monster—the jury was
discreetly selected; all "good men and true"—the wit-
nesses were well trained—the Attorney-General did all
that an unscrupulous advocate could do to " make the
worse appear the better reason"—the Chief Justice
charged the jury to the very top of the bent even of
those most anxious for a conviction—the motion for a
new trial was refused—the motion in arrest of judg-
ment shared a similar fate. Everything was done
just as it ought to be. The protracted proceedings
at length terminated. The sentence was deter-
mined on. " The law allows it; and the Court
awards it." The impatient Tories, who had
panted for the fulfilment of their predictions as
to the amount of punishment on the " convicted
conspirators," and who had complained bitterly
of the delay in the proceedings—were at length
satisfied. The Court had, upon the whole, done
its duty. The rock of Carrickfergus was not,
it was true, selected by the judges as the
place of O'Connell's confinement—the term of im-
prisonment was not certainly quite so long as their
notions of justice inclined them to desire and to name
—nor was the fine quite so heavy as they conceived
ought to have been inflicted; But there was still
much to be thankful for. They would, at least,
have the -positive delight derived from knowing
and feeling that O'Connell was safe in custody for
one year; and might be kept so for much longer—for
who would venture to become bail for his good be-
haviour ? Repeal was, of course, crushed by the sen-
tence passed on its leader. There might be a struggle
C‘.:r life ; but it would be the convulsive throes which
precede disbviutlcAl. A coercive policy having been
commented, who would underte.. to cry that it
would not be continued ? The Catholic populatioii
would be kept under the iron heel of despotic rule—
their wretched cqndition unmitigated; and their
complaints and remonstrances disregarded. If they
abstained from venting their griefs in the language
extorted by calamity, their silence would be con-
strued into the indulgence of the gloomy revo-
lutions of implacable revenge, which watches for
a favourable opportunity to gratify its propensities ;
and must, therefore, be intimidated by the pre-
sence of military force, If dissatisfaction with
their condition were shown by overt acts, and
they prOclaimed their injuries to the world—
they would then be seditious—insurgents—rebels—
traitors ; against whom the military ought to be em-
ployed, and the sword should be commissioned to de-
vour. A, new crisis has arrived. The unexpected
release or O'Connell, by the reversal of the judgment
against him, has placed the Government in a new
position toward him and the Irish nation. We wish
that there existed grounds to hope that Ministers were
prepared to act in this new position with discretion, if
not with magnanimity, We had almost said, we wish
that the example set them by O'Connell were likely
to be imitated by them. We are not disposed to
scan with severity the expressions, strongly vitu-
perative against persons, as they doubtless
were, with which O'Connell's speech to the popu-
lace on the day of kis liberation from prison, and
his address on Monday at the Conciliation Hall, were
disfigured. Something must be conceded to the class
of persons he addressed. on both occasions ; and also
to the necessity, which he doubtless feels, of feeding
the excitement with suitable aliment, by which he,
and the agitation, are sustained. Still a tone of
moderation pervades his speeches. So far as the
future operations of the Repeal Association are
alluded to, there is a marked abstinence from all im-
plied, much more expressed, counsel to any extreme
and dangerous measures. If we understand the
course indicated by the address Mr. O'Con-
nell - delivered on Monday, there is a disposi-
tion to check, rather than to excite, the ardour of
his followers ; to wait' for, and watch the policy
of the Government; not to anticipate and embarrass
it; to give Ministers no advantage by his indiscretion;
but to avail himself of any false movement which their
policy may afford to him over them. The formidable
elevation to which the .defeated prosecution has raised
him—the increased confidence in his legel invulnera-
bility which is felt by his followers—the immensely-
increased influence which he now wields over their
affections, enable him to move the masses at his will.
Will the Government seize the critical moment ? By a
mixture of prudential caution for the preservation of the
peace, which a momentary influence an the part of the
multitude may peril, combined with abroad and well-de-
fined system of conciliation of the popular feeling, and
amelioration of the present oppressed and wretched
condition of the peasantry, they may avert a national
calamity. If they are unable or unwilling to adopt
the only policy which can preserve Ireland from com-
motion, if not from the dissolution of its connexion
with this country, let them at least have the virtue
to resign their posts, and leave to other hands the
work of counteracting the evils, and diminishing the
dangers,. which they have increased and exaspe-
rated by the means they employed to diminish and
subdue them.

STANDARD.—Two of our pseudo-Conservative
Conteniporaries, one following in the wake of the
other, like the parasitical fish that derives its sub-
sistence',from piCking the teeth of the shark and is to-
lerated for the sake of the humble service it perform,
appear to be greatly disappointed that the Conserva-
tive candidate for North Lancashire, Mr. Talbot •
Clifton, is likely to walk over the course ; and
have accordingly done their best to encou-
rage the drooping spirits of the League to take
the field against him. Both are agreed in opinion,
that Mr. Clifton has not been sufficiently explicit
in his addrest tO the constituency he Etspiits to repre,
sent. lie protases, to be sure, "as a paiainount
duty," to devote his best exertions " to tho mainte..

attend to the varied (commercial) "interests of his
constituency." All this would seem to be explicit
enough for any ordinary Conservative, and is, we sus-
pect, a little too explicit for Arr. Clifton's metropolitan
critics. - At all events, it affords a pretty tolerable
indication that his mind is made up on those
leading
_questions .which -appear to be the objects of
so much doubt and uncertainty to his assailants.
He does not profess to be a Conservative of the
family of " Young England," or after the manner of

the Times ; one who will give a feeble and hollow
support to the Minister on points on which his
adhesion is comparatively unimportant, and then
watch with feline vigilance for an opportunity
of turning round upon him at some more cri-
tical moment of his career. With a profession of
Christian sympathy for the poor, he does not pro-
pose to make a simulated devotion to their interests
an excuse for incessant attacks on the Government,
and incendiary attempts to work upon their miseries
until he has stimulated them to acts of sedition and
outrage. He does not profess to make an affected
sympathy with suffering a lever for attacks-on the Mi-
nisters. With this class of Conservatives he claims no
manner of alliance. Hinc ilia lachryma ! Hence it is
that he has failed to make himself understood to that
peculiar order to which it is the glory of our carping
and dissatisfied Contemporaries to belong. It is
the Queen's Government, and not the ideal Go-
vernment of the Morning
,Post and Times, to
which Mr. Clifton promises his general sip-
port. He seems to be a sensible _man, content
with the language of common sense, and
avoiding alike the mock heroical phraseology of
the gascon and the empty but noisy verbiage of the
Young Englander. Sir Robert Peel is the last man
in the world to desire to impose degrading conditions
on his supporters, or to require them to " wear his
livery." The apprehensions of the Ilfornin,,, Post,
which discovers that Mr. Clifton is not sufficiently
intelligible in his exposition of his Conservative
principles, will, we are satisfied, prove fallacious ;
far if report does not greatly belie him,
.he will
be found in every respect. worthy the support
and esteem of the large and important constituency
to which his political manifesto is addressed, and one
whose practice will more than keep pace with his
professions. We are glad to see that, notwithstanding
this combined attempt to throw a wet blanket on his
exertions, and the invitation to the League to oppose '
him, Mr. Clifton is likely to have no rival. The
election is fixed for the 20th instanst, and the League '
is too low in credit and in pocket to enter upon an- '
other contest, even in Lancashire, and all their efforts
to obtain a scapegoat to undertake the burden have
miserably failed. After two unsuccessful attempts to
obtain a rival candidate, therefore, they have been
compelled to adopt the resolution that " it is not de-
sirable in the present state of the register to bring
forward a free-trade candidate."

ELECTION OF CHAMBERLAIN.

DECLARATION OF THE POLL.

Saturday being the day for declaring the result of
the poll for the office of Chamberlain, there was a tole-
rably numerous attendance at Guildhall to witness
the proceedings.
At twelve o'clock precisely Mr. Sheriff Musgrove
announced that Alderman Brown having polled the
greater number of votes, that gentle:nan was duly
elected to the office.

Immediately after this, the Lord Mayor, Alder-
men, and other City authorities came upon the hust-

to which they had done him the honour to elect him,
o
many that he had put up for this office, but he should
state as a reason, and which he should not be ashamed
of avowing, that he was not what would be termed in
this commercial city a man of wealth ; therefore the
situation to which he had been chosen would come
very acceptably to him at his period of life ; and he
trusted that he should give satisfaction in the per-
formance of its duties. The worthy Alderman again
thanked the livery for their support, and concluded
amid loud cheers.

Mr. SHOOBRIDGE had to thank the livery on behalf
of Mr. Alderman Brown, but entering subsequently
into matters connected with the foundation of the
City Almshouses, which were considered irrelevant to
the present proceedings, he was received with disap-
probation.
The meeting was then dissolved.
The whole affair only occupied twenty minutes,
anti there was a manifest disappointment in the hall
at
.the brevity of the proceedings, some lengthened
speech-making having been expected upon the oc-
casion.

It is a matter worthy of remark, as one of rare oc-
currence under similar circumstances, that all the ex-
penses of Alderman Brown contingent upon the elcc •
tion were discharged by him previously to the poll
being declared.

WONDERFUL PRESERVATION.
A young woman, named Mary Webster. who re-
sides with her widowed mother, near Mr. Simmons's
paper works, in the Via Gellia, at Bonsall, has re-
cently had the narrowest escape from a miserable
death that we ever remember to have heard of under
anything like similar circumstances. The young
woman, who is 22 years of age, stout, and rather good-
looking, is unfortunately of somewhat weak intellect.
It appears that shortly previous to Tuesday week she
was walking with her mother on a foot-road leading
from Bonsall to Ible, when, at a place called Bonsall
Lees, a common cotton handkerchief which she wore
was blown off by the wind, it being rather rough at
the time, and before it could be recovered it went
doWn the shaft of a deserted lead mine which had
been carelessly left unsecured. The loss of the hand-
kerchief seems to have affected her in an extraordi-
nary degree, and on the night of Tuesday week,
about ten o'clock, she left her home, and, although
diligent inquiries were made alter her, nothing what-
ever was ascertained respecting her until the follow-
ing Monday morning. On that morning her mother,
who was then seeking her, inquired of a miner,
named John Massey, who was working on Bonsall.
Lees,. if he knew anything of her daughter, and
received for answer that he did not. The dis-
tracted mother went forward on her now almost
hopeless search, and being in the neighbourhood of
the shaft into which the handkerchief had blown,
she went to it, and shouted down, when, strange
to say, her ears were greeted with the voice of her
lost daughter, who, at the expiration of a week's
entombment without sustenance of any kind, ap-
peared to recognise the voice of her parent. The
overjoyed mother now hastened back to Massey (the
miner to whom she had last spoken) and he lost no
time in obtaining the assistance of some brother
miners, who speedily collected the necessary tackling
for rescuing the miserable sufferer from her living
grave, and everything being adjusted to secure as far
as possible the safety of the object of their humane
exertions, Massey and another miner, named William
Bunting, the shaft, which is twenty yards
deep, and perpendicular, and found her in a crouch-
ing position at the shaft foot, sensible, but nearly
bereft of physical strength, and to use Massey s
words, "as cold as a corpse." She had (no doubt
in moments of delirium) unclothed herself to the
waist downwards, and taken off her shoes and one
stocking, and she had actually recovered the lost hand-
kerchief, which was lying by her and in which was
tied up one of her shoes. Having been safely attached
to the rope, she was drawn to the surface, and during
her ascent she attempted to hold on, but was, of
course, too far exhausted-to do so effectually. Per-
haps the strangest circumstance connected with this
strange tale is, that in a few minutes after arriving at
the surface, elle told her mother that before she at-
tempted to descend the shaft in search of • the hand
kerchief, ehe had taken off her gown, and hidden it
in a wall. The gown was found exactly as described
by her. She was now carefully removed home, and
titt putting her to bed it was found that she bad re-
ceived no eiterh Wal e

Mr: tt ansi surgeon, of WTinster, there is every likeli-

that she believed the shaft was only two or three yards
deep, as she looked into it on the clay she lost her
brinditurchlef, and thought she sawttom. the
had descended apparently four or five feet, when a
ptlr which bore her weight, proving rotten, broke,
atid,she was precipitated, as already described, nearly
twenty yards to the bottom, her fall being, no doubt,
in som' degree broken by the resistance of the air
against her clothes. She complains of having suf-
fered horribly from thirst, and had eaten part of her
under garments, but does not seem to possess any
knowledge of her own -as to the length of time her
living entombment had endured.—Nottingliaet Journal.

REGISTRATION and REGULALION
OF JOINT- STOCK. COMPANIES.
A very important Act received the royal assent on
Thursday, the sth instant, entitled " An Act for the
Registration, Incorporation, and Regulation of Joint-
Stock Companies," the object of which is to bring
under the eye of Government all joint-stock
companies, and to prevent the establishment of
fraudulent concerns with high-sounding names and
pretended patronage, whereby persons with the pro
mise of a high rate of interest have been deprived of
their money and reduced to great distress. There
are 80 sections in the Act, with several schedules
annexed. It has immediate operation from the sth
instant, with respect to the officers to be appointed for
the registration of companies, and the regulation of
the office provided for that purpose, and all other pro-
visions as to the companies to which they have appli-
cation, on the Ist of November next. The preamble
of the Act, on consideration of which the sections
have been framed, declares it to be expedient to
make provision for the due registration of joint-stock
companies during the formation and subsistence
there3f, and also, after such complete registration, to
invest such companies with the qualities and incidents
of corporations, with some modifications, and subject
to certain conditions and regulations, and also to pre-
vent the establishment of any companies which shall
not be duly constituted and regulated according to
the provisions of this Act. It is provided, that be-
fore any advertisement or other proceeding appears of
an intended joint-stock company (which term has a
very large signification), a provisional registration
shall take place at the "Registry-office," giving-eer-
tain particulars, in order to guard against mere ad-
venturers obtaining money from the public, and in
the event of non-registration as described, the pro-:
moter to be liable to be fined 201. A complete regis-
tration is to take place before a company can act other
than provisionally, and full information afforded re-
specting the deed of the company, &c. Patrons and,
directors must in future hold shares in the company,-
under a penalty of 201., and the inspection of books is
given to shareholders under certain by-laws, in order
that the affairs of companies may be ascertained, and•.
any director or officer who shall wrongfully "do or
omit any act," with intent to defraud the company or
any shareholder therein, or falsify or fraudulently
mutilate, or fraudulently make any erasure in the
books of account or books of registry, or any docu-
ment belonging to the company, then such director
or other officer shall be deemed to be guilty of
a "misdemeanour. The followinc, provision has been
framed to -prevent the fraudulent companies :
Section 65, " And forasmuch as great injury
has been inflicted upon the -.public by companies
falsely pretending to be patronised or directed or
managed by eminent or opulent persons; now, for
the purpose of preventing such false pretences, be it
enacted, with regard to every company or pretended
company whatsoever, whether registered or not, and
whether now existing or not, that if any person shall
make any such false pretences, knowing the same to
be false, in any advertisement or other paper, whether
printed or written, and whether published in any
newspaper, or hand-bill, or placard, or circular, then
every such person shall forfeit for every such offence
a sum not exceeding 101." By another provision it is
enacted, that if a judgment in law or decree, &c.,
cannot be enforced against the person, pro?erty, and
effects of a shareholder, who shall have his remedy .
against the company. Various penalties are pre-
scribed; and by another provision the registrar of
joint .stock companies is to make an annual report to
the Privy Council of Trade, setting forth the par-
ticulars mentioned in the 79th section of the present
Act, which report is to be laid before Parliament.

FIELD SPORTS OF THE NORTH—We hope Prince
Albert, who is again to vkit the land of brown heath,
will step a little further north, among our hills and
mountains, to try his rifle at the hardy deer which in-
habit our glens and corries. Scenes famous in story are
numerous as the antlered herds of Inverness, Ross, and
Sutherland shires, and should the Prince fancy some
target practice, our northern meeting will show him
some correct shooting, together with sundry athletics
games, unknown in Windsor. On Friday last, Lord
Lovat, accompanied by Lord Emlyn and Sir Pyers
Mostyn, enjoyed a brilliant day's deer stalking in his
Lordship's preserves of Glenstrathfarar Forest. With
right and left shots, Lord Lovat brought down a
couple of deer, and with three other rifle discharges, a
noble stag fell to each. Sir P. Mostyn also secured a
very large well-headed stag. The party at Achnanault
have had great success is deer stalking. During the last
week, Mr. Chearnley killed two, of which one was the
largest stag seen in Ross-shire for many year, a veteran,
well known to the sportsmen of that county. Another
of the party succeeded, on Thursday last, in stalking and
securing two very good stags, with right and left shots.
Their sport has, in other respects, been rather remark-
able. On Wednesday evening Mr. Chearnley killed in
the river, with the rod, within one hour, four trout
whose joint weight exceeded twenty-five pounds. On
theGlenmoriston Hills, Edward Burn, Esq., of Aberdeen,
and friend, got each a shot at deer, both of which they
ki1,21 Mr. Burn's shot 'being the only one ne had at
deer this season. At Achnaclarioch, Sir St. George
Gore, Bart., had five successive days of superior grouse
shooting in the last week of August, having bagged
376 brace and four couple of hares, which gives an
average of 76 brace a-day of birds very strcng and wild.
On the moors of Dunmaglass, Mr. Stephens and Mr.
M`Natighton, in ten days shooting, had 400 brace of
grouse. At Muirton, A. Mackenzie, Esq., and friend,
killed, in one day lately, five roe-deer and several pairs
of black game.—lnverness Courier.

The Prince of Surat and suite visited the Royal
Adelaide Gallery on Friday evening ; they were re-
ceived by Dr. Jones, who conducted them round the
Gallery, and explained to them many of the works of
art and natural curiosities. They were highly delighted
with the performances and curious mechanism of the
Automaton Writer, which they minutely inspected. The
Prince took a shock from the electrical eels, and ex-
pressed himself gratified by the sensation. The Prince
and suite took their leave after witnessing the perform-
ance of the far-famed band of the Gallery, with which
they were delighted.
A MAN OF WEIGHT IN THE COUNTY.—Hitherto
Mr. Bright, of Maldon, has stood without a rival in the
annals of Essex In the way of fat and rotundity, but now
one has sprung up in the goodly person of Mr. Mansfield,
of I)ebden, who threatens to very nearly approach his
throne. Mr. H. Moss, of Thaxted, has just completed
a coat for him, of course of broad cloth, nearly one hun-
dred inches round, and in which six men were comfort-
ably buttoned up at once, and they not tailors either.
Mr. M., we are told, is about to be exhibited in London,
as a set off to General Tom Thumb, who could certainly
find comfortable rest and shelter in one of his coat
pockets. He weighed on Tuesday last exactly 335 t., 141 b.

SO is rather singular—it is as follows :—A traveller be-
longing to Todd and Burns' establishment, having occa-
sion to leave London, took his seat in one of the rail-
way carriages for Liverpool. On entering the cordage
he found himself in company with five other individuals,
who were strangers to him, and who appeared mutu-
ally so to each other. One of them was a female of a
Lady-like appearance, and the other four were appa-
rently gentlemen, and looked as if accustomed to move
in the first classes of society. The elder of them ap-
peared not to know any language save French, and the
others seemed to be amused at his awkward attempts
to speak English. After some time Mr. Wilson's (the
name of the traveller) attention was attracted to
a species of dumb language which appeared to be
passing between utter strangers, and, feigning to
sleep, he heard the person who appeared not to
know English, conversing very fluently in it, and
using several slang terms. Mr. Wilson immediately
became alarmed, and the train stopping ataplat the
place of
refreshment, Wolverton, he withdrew to a . private

a minute when one of the party followed him and

and Mr. Wilson, again feigning to doze, observed the
individual who had previously followed him point out
to his companions the pocket to which he had trans-
ferred his money, Becoming more alarmed, he deter-
mined not to sleep, and remained- awake until he ar-

POSTAGE STAMPS.—It may save somebody two-
pence to mention, that the envelope postage stamp will
not serve the purpose of the common stamp if cut out of
the original paper and affixed to a letter. The post-
office people disregard the substitute, and charge double
