his sub3equent movements, inasmuch as the
boys, notwithstanding his disguise, rec'gnised
in him their old tutor and their father's
employs. In other words, the deceased has not only
come to life, but has had the hardihood to re-appear
in Glasgow. It is difficult "to divine his object
in going to the very church which he had been
in the habit of attending, unless it was that he
sought thereby to discover whether his disguise
was a complete one or not. Finding that
it was hot, he has again disappeared, but
no further report of his death has been
given in. This circumstance, as may be supposed,
has excited a good deal of suspicion, and further in-
quiry is about to be made into the whole affair. At
the time of his supposed death, he was lodging in a
house, the inmates of which seem to have been
frightened out of it by the announcement that he had
been attacked by cholera; nor did they return until
after the funeral. 'Who it was, or what it waa that
was buried in his stead hai not yet transpired, but the
coffin is about to be exhumed, when some further
light may be thrown upon this singular aff.rir.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Sept. 11.
(Before Mr. Commissioner 1101.1101 D.)
IN THE BANKRUPTCY OF GEORGE PRICE BILL.
The bankrupt in this case was a solicitor, and had
become bankrupt on his own petition, being described
as late of Fleet-street, in the city of LJndon, com-
mon carrier, and the present petition was presented
to annul the fiat on the ground of misdescription.
Mr. Cooke was counsel for the petitioners, and
Mr. Linklater appeared for the assignees, in opposi-
tion to the petition. The bankrupt did not attend.
It appeared from the evidence of Mr. James, the
petitioner, that he and the Hon. Francis Henry Fitz-
hardinge Berkeley were trustees for the family of
Lady Dillon, and that, in their fiduciary character,
they had entrusted the bankrupt and his partner, Mr.
Anderson (who carried on business as solicitors at
.Cannon-row,
_Westminster), with considerable sums
for investment upon certain mortgages, and that the
money had been misappropriated. Several instances
were proved, and, on an application to the Court of
Queen's Bench, the Master had reported that 2,800/.
was due from Hill'andAnderion to the trustees. The
fiat against 'Hill was issued on. the 29th of July,
1849, and a similar petition to the present had been
dismissed with costs. Evidence was now given of
the debt due, and it was contended by Mr. Cooke
that the assignees were bound by evidence to support
the fiat.

Mr. LINKLATER insisted that the Hon. Mr. Berke-
iey should attend to prove that he had not received
from the bankrupt or Mr. Anderson, the mortgages
in respect of which the advances were made by the
trustees, and that, although the description of the
bankrupt might have been ithproved, it would be a
case of great hardship on the assignees, who were no
parties to'the misdescription, 'to annul the fiat after
a lapse of nearly fourteen months. The bankrupt
was now out of the jurisdiction of the Court, and the
assignees had no control over him. He contended
that it. must„be.showa the misdeeoription was with a

himself to be a creditor, ma he:had a 'fight c6ni-
plain of the misdescription, which was so apparent.
The bankrupt must have intended to mislead his
creditors ; but, without reference to the intention, the
misdescription was sufficient ground for annulling the
fiat; he should, however, only annul if the Lord
Chancellor should think fit, so that the matter might
be discussed elsewhere. •

OLIO E INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HO US E.
John Crosby, alias Captain Crosby, R.N., was
brought before Alderman Carden for re•examina,lon
upon charges of fraud. Mr. Hobler attended for the
prisoner.

Mr. Taylor, who had given evidence on the first
day's examination, addressed Alderman Carden when
the case was called on, and said—As far as lam con-
cerned I should wish; not to press the case to the in-
fliction of punishment against the prisoner, who haw,
I am given to understand, a wife in great distress, and
a child in a deplorable state of disease.
Alderman CARDEN—Do you consider that a man
like this, who has been pursuing a long-continued
system of imposition, has any claim upon your com-
passion ? Mr. Taylor—l do not consider that he has
any claims, but he has been. a visitor in my house, and
has been my companion and friend, as it were, and I
feel a repugnance to appear against him for severe
castigation.
Alderman CARDEN—He has been no friend of
yours, but has exercised his ingenuity to impose upon
your unquestionable kindness and humanity.
Mr. Taylor—l cannot but regard the condition of
his family with pity.
Alderman CARDEN —lt is one of the inevitable con•
sequences of a criminal course that the guiltless are
made to suffer with the guilty. .1 can very readily,
sympathise with you in the feelings you have ex-
pressed, but I am bound as a magistrate to proceed
with this inquiry into the conduct or as adroit and
dangerous a person as it would be possible to find, and
it is certainly no violation of hospitality in such a
victim as you have been to bring him to justice.
Mr. Taylor—l submit to the decision of the bench,
and acknowledge that his skill and qualifications as
an impostor are unrivalled.
Mr. C. It. Forwold, clerk to Messrs. Morlend, so-
licitors in the Old Jewry, then deposed as follows :
—My mother kept a lodging-house at No. 50,
Brewer-street, East Smithfield, in July, 1849, and
the prisoner came to lodge there in that month.
When he was in the. house about a week he applied
to me through my mother for the loan of ss. 1 gave
the money to my mother to give to him, and he
afterwards thanked me for the loan, and in doing so
said he had been to Ireland on commission from the
Board of Admiralty to see arrangements properly
carried out for some important works there ; that the
expenses of the journey had taken away all his spare
cash, and he should be inconvenienced until remu-
nerated by that authority for what he had expended.
He remained at board at my mother's house till
Christmas, and represented hirnsellpersonally to me as
a captain in the Royal navy, and as having been ap-
pointed to succeed Admiral Beaufort as hydrographer
to the Admiralty, and he also stated that he was
merely waiting for Admiral Beaufort to vacate his
rooms to take possession of them, and reside there.
At Christmas my acquaintance with him closed. He
then owed my mother between 8/. and 9/. for board
and lodging, and he represented to me that he should
be short of money until he could get his expenses
paid 'and his business settled, that he expected by the
3d of January his bill would be paid by the Admi-
ralty, and also that a suns of money, amounting to
751.,. which was due to him, would. be forthcoming,
and he asked me if I could get bis acceptance for 101.
or 121. discounted, that he might pay, my mother out
of it. Supposing that what he had stated was the fact,
I got his bill discounted. He had applied to my mother
first, knowing that she would want the balance,
and she referred him to me, as being better ac
quainted with business. When he applied to me I said,
" Well, Captain, certainly I do not know a great deal
_about you, but if you give me a reference I shall try
and get your bill discounted. A friend of mine holds a
bill upon which the sum of 6/. 3s. is due, and if you
make the bill for 61. 3s. more than the money you
want I dare say I may get it done." Ile then re-
ferred me tai a person in Rood-lane, through whom,
he said, he was to receive the 751., and who described
him to me as a gentleman of high honour, and with
whom he had been acquainted for many years.
Under these circumstances I drew a bill for 181. 10s.
in the name of W. C. Burdell, who, was acquainted
with the whole of the transactior, and the prisoner
accepted it in my presence. With that bill I took
up the old bill of 6/. 35., and I received 12/. 7s. (the
difference), and immediately banded it over to the
prisoner. I endorsed the bill to make myself respon-
sible to the discounter, who advanced the money upon
may responsibility.
Alderman CARDEN—Did you hand tbat money to
him in the belief that he was a captain in the royal
navy ? Witness—l bad looked in the Navy List, and
not finding his name in the list, I mentioned the cir-
cumstance to him. He said, " Oh, I can explain that.
I am on the list for promotion, and therefore my name
is not on the list," giving me to understand that he
was at the moment in the state of transition from one
rank to the other. I then entertained no doubt that
he was Captain Crosby of the Royal Navy. I doubted
the statements he had made as to his having to suc-
ceed Admiral Beaufort.

Alderman CARDiet---1 Was the bill paid ? Witness
—lt was paid by
me. When the prisoner was speak.
ing to me about his claims and expectations, in order
to prevent any mistake he produced what he called
a certificate from a foreign state, thanking him as
Captain Crosby, of the Royal navy, for some service
rendered by him.
Cross-examined by Mr. Hobler—l believe he paid
51. to my mother out of the amount due to her, leav-
ing about 61..0dd due to her, one shilling of which
she has never received.

A gentleman, who stated that he had been second-
master in the navy, and that his name was Crosby,
here stepped forward and said—"l have no doubt
that the letters written to the Admiralty for the

payment of debts which I never contracted prejudiced
me considerably with the board. I never have been
a captain, and I am the only officer of the name of
Crosby in the Royal navy since the year 1826.
'There were two before that time, but they are both
dead. Ido not now belong to the service."
Mr. Taylor—lt was in 1808 or 1809 I was sup-
posed-tO have formed my first acquaintance with the
"Simon Pure" at the bar.—(A laugh.)
Captain Clarke said the prisoner had attempted to
" do" him, but without success. The captain was

was, that having some time ago had a vessel to dia. I

pose of, the prisoner negotiated about the price,
agreed to pay 1,0001., and appointed a d>iy for closing
the business; that by some means or other the pri-
soner was prevented from keeping his appointment,
end had, on the night before, slept in Whitecross-
street prison. It appeared, from the statement of the
same gentleman, that the prisoner had represented in
Wapping and its neighbourhood that he had been ap-
pointed by Government to purchase goods there to the
amount of 150,0001. for the West Indies, and had
given orders accordingly, and that he had perpetrated
other mischief, which, no doubt, would be fully de-
scribed in a few days.
Alderman CARDEN remanded the prisoner till
Friday next, for the purpose of sifting the charges.
There was quite enough of evidence to show the
fraudulent intent, and it appeared that the tact of the
accused enabled him to impose upon persons not liable
to be deceived by ordinary adventurers.
The prisoner has the mark of a cut across the face,
and Mr. Taylor, who caused him to be apprehended.
said he accounted for the scar by describing in the
mot animated style the boarding of a French vessel.
It appeared from the anecdote of Captain Crosby,
R.N., that in the tremendous conflict a French officer
made a thrust at him, which was parried, but not in
such a manner as to prevent a severe wound in the
face, which, however, was retaliated by a thrust
through the body of the most satisfactory efficacy.
It was afterwards ascertained beyond a doubt that the
honourable scar was occasioned, not in warfare by sea
or land, but by an accidental tumble over a pail -cf
water.

CLERKEN WELL.
Mr. James Bishop Houseman, master of the Col-
legiate School at Stoke-Newington, and Mr. William
Bunting Seymour, one of the ushers, appeared to a
summons before Mr. Combe, charged by Edmund
Talfourd Gedye, aged 12 years, with having been con-
cerned in assaulting him.
Mr. Harvey attended to conduct the prosecution ;
and Mr. Lewis for the defence.
Mr. Gedye, solicitor, of Stoke-Newington, the father
of the boy, also attended, and the authorities of the
establishment were likewise present.
Mr. Harvey, in opening the case, said that the
circumstances being, as they were, connected with a
public establishment , for . the instruction of youth,
were of a most unpleasant character, as two assaults
had been committed on the son of his client, the one
by the master of ~the school, and the other by the
usher. The boy, had been in the establishment since
last Midsummer, and he complained to his father of
having received some punishment which was objec-
tionable to the father, unless for real misconduct.
The boy, it appeared, found some difficulty in con-
jugating the Latin verb, and on taking home his ex-
ercise-book it was found that there was written
on one of its pages, " This is one whole day's
work." The father felt grieved and hurt,
and wrote on the same leaf; " Which incontestably
reflects great discredit upon the tutor, and that the
master is as idle as the boy." A communication took
place by letter from the father stating that nobody
would be capable of conjugating a Latin verb in the
time required, and it would appear that the difficulty
arose through the dodging,r the ho about,
,and he'lnad
perfectly &onjtigated Lite verb He received a letter!
in ins wer;al,iinikyoyecette the bey aftvrethe expi-
raion of the Cittarter.s subsequently, on the-3d
September, the pupil was assaulted by the defendants.
The usher (Seymour) inquired who it was that wrote
the
_matter in the exercise book in reference to the
conjugation of the verb. He replied, "My father,"
when the usher said, " Then he is as great a fool us
you are." The boy smiled, and he struck the boy on
the face, which caused a contusion and abraeipn, of
the skin. He remonstrated, and said it was his
father's desire that he was not to be beaten ; if he
was, he was to go home ; and subsequently the usher
held him whilst the defendant Mr. Houseman caned
him so severely that he bore marks upon his person.
He urged that in this instance there had been no mis-
conduct to justify the conduct of the usher Seymour,
and afterwards that of the master, Mr. Houseman.
He called—
Master Talfourd Gedye, the complainant—l took
my exercise-boots home, and showed it to my father.
Mr. Seymour first pencilled in the book "This is one
whole day's work," and Mr. Houseman afterwards
inked it over. My father wrote the other words al-
luded to. I took the book back to school and laid it
on Mr. Houseman's desk. A boy named Noah
shoWed it to the master. He smiled when Mr. Sey-
mour said "Pa" was as great a fool as I was, and he
struck me twice on the face. He took the book from
me and left the room, when Mr. Houseman came up
with a cane, and said I had been impudent to Mr.
Seymour. I said I had not; and he said I must be
caned. I said, "Pa " would not let me be
caned. I tried to leave the school, but was prevented
by Mr. Houseman, who ordered the boys to keep the
door, when he began to cane me. Mr. Seymour
held me by one arm and Mr. Houseman by the other,
while he caned me. He then told me to tyke my
books and leave the school. I afterwards felt pain
and could hardly walk home. Ointment was rubbed
on my head by my mama.
By Mr. Lewis—l walked home.
Mr. Comas here said a schoolmaster had a right to
exercise reasonable and proper correction to a pupil.
The question was as to excess. In that case the
matter ought to go to the sessions.
Mr. Lewin contended that there had been no excess,
and continued his cross-examination.
Boy—My master did not tell me to show the writ-
ing in the book to my father. Did not go to a doctor.
My pa did not tell me to show his writing in the book
to my master. Told me I might let the boys see it
if they liked. Did not point out the writing to
the boys.
Mr. COMBE—The boy himself proves that the
father wrote insolence to the master in the book ; for
such it was, and the case is one for the sessions.
Mr. Lewis remarked that his clients were the re-
presentatives of a public establishment, and ordering
them to find bail would be a slur, and the pupils might
as well leave the school if such a course were adopted.
He had evidence to produce, and they would much.
rather have the case decided here.
The boy continued—Mr Houseman spoke to me in
a mild, gentlemanly manner. The stripes were not
gentle ; they were very hard. Did not say, "My
father is a lawyer, and he will serve you." Don't
think the mask on my forehead was caused by the
cane. Could not say how it was done.
The father (excitedly and in a loud tone)—l beg,
Sir, you will not put words into the boy's mouth. Let
him give his evidence fairly.
Boy—l never saw any other boy caned in the
school. They were usually caned below. I did
apply to my master, but he refused to give me any
information on the subject of the lesson. Could not
say how many stripes 1 received—five or seven.
Mr. Lewis—He has before sworn to 14 or 15.
Waddington and Turner, officers of the court, saw
the boy when the. summons was applied for; there
were three marks on the forehead, and a stripe on his
thigh, 7 or 8 inches long, as if from a cane.
Mr. Lewis, after remarking on the father's letter to
Mr. Houseman insinuating that he was as idle as the
tutor, &c., contended that the boy was only reason-
ably chastised for his indolence, and his father ought
to have thanked his clients, instead of exhibiting his
feeling as he had done in the matter. The boy smiled
in derision at his master, and the question was whether
the master of a collegiate school was to put up with
such conduct.
. Mr. Gedye was extremely excited, and said in a
loud tone that his son had been most severely treated.
He then bore marks of violence on his person, and he
suggested that he should be stripped and examined
by the magistrate and all present. Mr. Harvey bad
seen the marks, and could give evidence, but of that
he was deprived through his being his advocate. His
frequent interruptions caused great delay in the pro-
ceedings. Atlength en apology was suggested. The
defendants, however, would not express regret for ex-
cess of_ violence, but said that if any excess had inten-
tionally been inflicted, they were sorry.
Mr. COMBE said this was equal to an apology ; and
the worthy magistrate's opinion induced Mr. Gedye to
accept it, and thus the matter ended.
WORSHIP-STREET.
Edward Denman, who stood charged with an as-
sault of an indecent description upon Mrs. Emma
Kirkness, the wife of a commercial traveller in Fel.
lowes-street, Kingsland, surrendered to his bail for
final examination.

The prosecutrix, who fainted twice before the case
was called on for hearing, was allowed to be seated
while her former deposition was read over, to which
she now edded some further particulars of too dis-
gusting a nature to admit of publication, and com-
plained that from her peculiar and delicate condition
at the time, the scandalous treatment to which she
had been subjected had produced such a shock to her
system that she had been seriously ill ever since. •
The defendant loudly protested against the impor-
tation of any fresh facts into the case, which he had
formerly believed to have been formally closed, and
had he been aware that the magistrate would have
permitted such a course he should have provided him-
self with counsel to protect his interests.
Mr. Hamatim, intimated that the course complained
of was perfectly regular and in strict accordance with
his duty.
The accused, who expressed his intention to re.
serve his defence, was committed for trial, but libe-
rated upon the same bail Which had already bum ac-
cepted for his appearance.

WANDS 11 OR TN.
Sarah Beale, a well-dressed and exceedingly meek-
looking woman, 40 years of age, whose parents have
resided at 8, James-street, Latkhll-lane, Capham,
for 35 years past, and bear a very excellent character,
'
the lather being a gardener, was brought up for a
third time on a remanded charge of obtaining goods
by fraud, and committing a felony.
The following is the substance of the evidence
given 'at the .various examinations before Mr..Bea-
don :—On Tuesday, the 3d of September, Police- I

constable Fletcher, 48 V, took the prisoner into cus-
tody in the'Union.road, Clapham, for obtaining from
a fishmonger, named Skeggs, a dozen of oysters, tor Mr.
Metnpress, the surgeon. The prisoner had previously
represented herself as a servant to Mr. Gould, Eagle
House, Wandsworth-road, and'obtained from the same
party some shrimps and bloaters, which statement was
found to be a fabrication, and Mrs. Skeggs's boy re-
cognising the prisoner, followed her, and saw her pass
Mr. Mempress's, and then gave her into custody.
Whilst at the station a young man named Ashby,
shoprean to Mr. Todd, a butterman in the Wands-
worth-road, recognised the prisoner as having, on the
30th of August, obtained two pounds of butter in
the name of Mrs. Blade, Thurlow Cottage, and
ordered one shilling's worth of eggs to be taken to the
house that morning, which was done, and the fraud
discovered. The next fraud traced to the prisoner
was obtaining, on the same day, from the shop of
Mr. Brooks, chemist and druggist, a dozen of carbo-
nate of soda and tartaric acid powders, and a bottle
of powder for making lemonade. These articles
were also alleged to be. for the use of Mrs.
Blade, of Thurlow Cottage. The constable
afterwards went to the prisoner's parents' house,
and searched her boxes, when he found 17 duplicates
relating to wearing apparel and ocher property, and
also fund a pair of shoes, which the prisoner bad got
from Messrs. Drew, boot and shoemakers, Clapham,
under pretence that they were for the housemaid
at Mr. Howell's, opposite the Windmill Tavern,
Clapham. It also appeared that the prisoner had been
in the service of Mr. Noel, of Clapham-road, butcher,
for four or five months, as nurse to his father, and had
robbed him extensively ; but he being a bachelor
was not aware of it, until informed by the constable.
The robbery of Mr. Neal and three cases of fraud
were selected, out of more than 20 acts of fraud and
felony which had been perpetrated by the prisoner,
who, without making auy defence, was fully com-
mitted for trial at the Central Criminal Court.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
MID-KENT AND DOVER.
A general conference of the principal landowners
of East and West Kent was held yesterday in the
large room of the Star Hotel, Maidstone, for the
purpose of electing a board of trustees on behalf of
the great body of landowners as promoters of a Bill
in the next session Gf Parliament, seeking powers to
construct a direct line of railway through Mid-Kent
to niidstone and through North Kent to Dover, as
a public highway, to be worked under the supervision
and control of the Commissioners, being owners of
property continguous to the railway. Mr. Matthew
Bell, the High Sheriff, presided on the occasion, and
explained in a very lucid manner the novel features
of the plan and the peculiar advantages that will
accrue to the lands and property in the several parishes
.through which the railway will pass. The meeting
was attended by a large number of the leading gen-
tlemen of the county, and letters were read from the
Lord-Lieutenant, Mr. Pemberton Leigh, Mr.
Deedes, M.P., Sir John Lubbock, Mr. George
Warde Norman, &c., expressing their desire
,to. .cti-operate . securing the adoption of a
farsccatile plan for obliMing a-direct railway- coin-
inunication between J.:(lndon andll.l4idstone and Dover,
BO 4.5, tekcannect.the principal towns in the country
together. was stated that the' requisite capital to
the extent of 2,000,0001. had been contracted for by
way of loan to the landowners at four per cent. in-
terest per annum, with a moiety of any surplus pro-
fits as a contingent bonus, to be secured on the credit
of the tolls, and by a contingent guarantee to a li-
mited amount upon the credit of the lands within the
boundaries of such parishes as will have power to as-
sess the railway in aid of their local rates. The pub-
lic necessity for the undertaking was shown to have
been established before two Parliamentary tribunals,
and the novel feature of the plan, which consists in its
being a return to the old system of public highways,
under the supervision of public auditors appointed by
the county, appeared to meet the cordial approval of
the landowners present.
After a lengthened discussion, in which Eirl
Stanhope, Sir Brooke W. Brydges, Colonel Austen,
Mr. Bradley Dyne, Sir John Tylden, Mr. Rice,
M.P., Mr. C. Wykeham Martin, and other gentle-
men took part, a board of twenty trustees were ap-
pointed, with power to add to their number, to
consider the details and act on behalf of the meet-
ing, as they may deem fit for the general benefit of
the company.
On the motion of Earl STANHOPE the cordial thanks
of the meeting were given to the chairman.
The meeting broke up after expressing a very de-
cided opinion that an entirely new system of rail-
way control and audit must he introduced before
the just requirements of the public can be fairly sa-
tisfied.

.AYNAU'S TASTE OF BARCLAY
AND CO.'S ENTIRE.
By this time the reader is aware of the brewing
extraordinary which took place the other day at Bar-
clay and Perkins's—the storm brewed at that estab-
lishment by General Haynau. Haynau, in the public
eye, stands branded with deeds of the basest atrocity
—the merciless hanging of brave men, and the das-
tardly flogging of noble women. He is a slandered
man, of course. No demon, even, but the meanest
as well as most malignant in devildom, would have
perpetrated cruelties so execrable and infamous. This
gallant officer and amiable gentleman goes about, the
object of universal hatred, through (doubtless) a mere
deception which has been unaccountably practised on
the newspapers, and disseminated by their means.
With his detestable character pinned to his back—
albeit bold as brass in conscious innocence—did Baron
Haynau go on Wednesday last week to visit Barclay
and Perkins's brewery. Armed with the breast-plate
of an untainted heart, he wrote his name—little
thinking what a name it was—in the visitors' book.
The pen might as well have been a lighted match,
and the page a train leading to a powder-barrel.
What was the consequence ? " His presence be-
came known all over the brewery in less than two
minutes, and before the general and his companions
had crossed the yard, nearly all the labourers and
dray men were out with brooms and dirt, shouting
out, Down with the Austrian butcher,' and other
epithets of rather an alarming nature to the general.
He was soon covered with dirt, and perceiving some
of the men about to attack him, ran into the street to
Bankside, followed by a large mob, consisting of the
brewers' men, coalheavers, and others, armed with
all sorts of weapons, with which they belaboured the
general." The Baron fondly imagined himself a
simple lion ; and had no idea that he would be re-
ceived as a tiger—the beast with which he is con-
founded by a vulgar error. But had he really been
the unmanly miscreant he was mistaken for, how
poetically beautiful would have been the termination
of his adventure :—" He ran in a frantic manner"—
frantically as a women-whipper might be expected to
run :—'• He ran in a frantic manner along Bankside, un-
til he came to the George public-house, when, forcing
the doors open, he rushed in and proceeded upstairs
into one of the bed-rooms, to the utter astonishment
of Mrs. Benfield, the landlady, who soon disco-
vered his name, and the reason of his entering
her house. The furious mob rushed in after him,
threatening to do for the Austrian butcher,' but
fortunately for him the house is very old fashioned,
and contains a vast number of doors, which were all
forced open, except that of the room in which the ge-
neral was concealed." If—only if, mind—Baron
Haynau were indeed the Haynau of the journals—
how delicious to behold the brave general that whip-
ped the fair sex, taking shelter from chastisement
beneath a woman's petticoat! What a sight for the
shade of Batthyani to see him lie there, " covered
with dirt," but more thickly bedaubed with ignominy !
Happily the injured innocent escaped with his life.
The police came timeotisly to the rescue, and " a
police galley was at the wharf at the time, into which
he was taken and rowed towards Somerset-house,
amidst the shouts and execrations of the mob." It is
added, " He was conveyed over the water in a most
deplorable state, the clothes having been actually torn
off his back, besides several very severe blows having
been inflicted on him." Every rightly feelieg mind
must condole with General Haynau on the treatment
which he has experienced from being so very unmerit-
edly regarded as a diabolical savage, and a disgrace
to human nature. Messrs. Barclay and Perkins, it is
stated, have been investigating the matter, with a
view to discover the ringleaders in the attack on the
gallant general, who was misunderstood to have
hanged heroes and flogged ladies. Even had there
been no misunderstanding in the case, the conduct of
the draymen would certainly have been illegal. Nor
wculd it have been exactly justifiable morally, for,
as we all know, it is a duty not to let our blood boil
Over under any provocation, and we ought to preserve
a philosophical calmness even in the presence of
Herod fresh from the slaughter of the innocents, or of
Nero red handed from his mother's murder. Here's

A ITEuolc BOY.—On Friday a lad about thirteen
years of age, was driving his mcd.er (Mrs. Humphery) and
live small children, with the nurse, and when et the lake,
this side of Torryburn, the horse rushed into the water, the
bank being very steep, and they were all engulphed beyond
their depth. The mother, with her infant in her arms, sup-
ported herself for,an instant but sank, when feeling her foot
touching sometimes, by exertion she rose to the surface, and
grasped a branch held out by some men, who, providentially,
by this time were present. The lad seized two of his sister;
but finding them two heavy, called fur help; he was dragged
on shore, he being the only one who could swim. He again
struck out, and seeing another of his Asters in the waggon,
at' the bottom of the lake, went down and rescued her in
time (though she was insensible) to preserve life. One more
child was still floating on the water, supported by its clothes:
the noble brother again dashed in, restoring this fourth one
by his courage and exertions. The nurse was saved t y
grasping a stick held out by men on the shore. Thus a lad,
thirteen years -of age, saved the lives of four children:— St.-
