SOUTHWARK' LITERARY INSTITUTION.—MY. White
delivered a lecture on Astro-Meteorology, at this Institution,
on the evening of Wednesday last. • In his exordium he pro-
duced.a file of almanacks, from Moore's for Hannay and Co.'s,
and dwelt upon them with critical exactitude, dividing the
laurelS promiscuously amongst them. In•the course of the
lecture he .took a wide and comprehensive view of his
favourite -theory, which was illustrated by a:variety of dia-
grams. In this part of the lecture we began to discover the
acuteness and profundity of a highly observant mind. That
31r. White is a clever man has been attested by the best
authorities, and his intellectual and scientific acquirements
might better procure for him the admiration of the world if
less tinctured with egotism. Verbum sat.

tEXPift TON--.!S tWrgIUTATSAIENT
Mr. Templeton concluded, on VGdn'es'ilay
his-first serte&of musical_ 'entertainments, at thet'Altsic:
Hall, Store-street. Of the enthusiasm with which 4hel,
numerous: audience greeted the efforWafthi,,lVOM
pushed artist for their entertainment, our'rendOs- may
form.some idea from, the fact that during the course of
the evening there were no less than seven encores. The
entertainment on Wednesday consisted of selections froin
his' two popular entertainments, on the subjects of "Mary
Queen of Scots and of Robert Burns. We were not
before-aware that Templeton is himselLtlie__ creator of
, -
the spirit-stirring melody, " Put off, put off, and row
with speed," which has always been one of the most at-
tractive portions of his Mary Queen of ScotS; fe is im-
possible to do justice to the manner in which he-gave this-
soul-stirring melody-on Wednesday evening; and in King
James's song, "There 'was . a jolly, beggar," he.repre.-
sentid.the gallant Prince to Perfection. The chtitlist be-
tween the artificial scenes of the Court and the naive sim-
plicity of the cottage, was beautifully exemplified by the
second pall of the entertainment as compared with the
first. The second part consisted of the beauties or Burns,
and the "native wood-notes wild" of Scotia's greatest
poet were warbled by Templeton .with a truth to nature
which hal' never been surpassed. How could Templeton
be otherwise than great on such a theme ? The son of
the-poet's old schoolfellow—born and bred on that classic
ground 'which.Burns has immortalized—
" Each simple air his mother sung
Plated on her knee, when helpless young,
• Still vibrates on his ear."
Ire perfectly electrified the audience by his " Scots
wha hae ;" while the delicate and beautiful coMpliment,
conveyed to the ladies, in " Green grow the rushes, oh!
was never so completely brought out as it was by Tem-
pleton's' treatment of this exquisite song. At the con •
elusion of the performances, Mr. Templeton announced
that it was his intention, on Thursday, the 28th, instant,
to produce, at the Hanover-square Rooms, a new musical
entertainment, entitled the "Lays of the Last of the
Scottish Minstrels, Sir Walter Scott."

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET. FRIDAY.

The holders of Wheat have been very firm in demanding last
week's prices, but the buyers were unwilling to increase their stocks
upon those terms, therefore not much business was done. Barley
met a slow sale, without any material alteration in value. Oats
and Shelling were dull, yet each fully supported former prices.

We direct attention to an abstract which we have
given, elsewhere, of certain Post-office returns ordered
last year, and recently distributed from the Printed
Vote Office, with the view of remarking upon the
large amount of the payments made by the depart-
ment in question for the conveyance of mails by rail-
way in Great Britain. For this service alone —in
Great Britain only—there was paid in the year 1842,
no less than 85,644/. Last year this amount was
75,1831., showing a reduction of 10,4811. But in
either case the aggregate is enormous. Knowing,
as we do, that on some lines these mails are
carried at fair and reasonable rates, we infer, from
the very heavy nature of this charge, that there must
be many other lines on which the charges of trans-
mission are exorbitant. Nothing can be more pro-

LAW AND POLICE.

At the Westminster Sessions Sarah Trueman, aged 23, a
young woman of prepossessing appearance, dressed in the
first style of fashion, was indicted for stealing a satin shawl,
of the value of 1/. 15s. The jury returned a verdict of guilty;
and, the prosecutor, Mr. Milnes, of Parliament-street, having
strongly recommended her to mercy, she was sentenced to
three months' imprisonment, with hard labour, except three
weeks' solitary confinement.
At Guildhall, James Perry, Benjamin Egleton, and Peter
Jordan, were brought up, the former prisoner charged with
having, as porter, robbed his employers, Messrs. Sutton and
Co., Bow Church-yard, and:the latter two with having been
the receivers. The Magistrates determined on committing,
allowing bail for Jordan and Egleton, as receivers, 2001. each
personally, and two sureties each in 100/. ; but the porter, as
the principal, was at once committed.
Robert Frazier alias Shillington, who has been in custody
for some weeks on three distinct charges of stealing three va-
luable gold watches, was re-examined at Lambeth-street.
Mr. Norton, in committing the prisoner, remarked that it was
lamentable to see a person who had been well brought up,
and whose friends were highly respectable, in the situation
the prisoner had placed himself. By a letter from his father,
which was then before him (Mr. Norton), it appeared that he
had not been driven to dishonesty from want, as his wants
had been amply supplied ; and it seemed, also, that he was
the first of a large family to bring shame and disgrace upon
his friends.

At the Thames Police-court, Henry Symons, the master of
the schooner Clernentina, from St. Michael's, now lying in
the London Dock, was brought before Mr. Broderip, on a
charge of stealing a coral necklace set with rubies, with a
gold snap, value 51., the property of Elizabeth Warburton.
The case was proved, and the prisoner was committed for
trial.

At Worship-street, William Spurrell, alias Wigram, Mary
Elizabeth Spurrell, his daughter, and James Martin, a well •
dressed man, described as a law-writer, were finally brought
up, charged on suspicion of having fraudulently obtained pos-
session of a large quantity of haberdashery goods, of the esti-
mated value of 2501. Mr. Broughton said, that after giving
the matter the most mature consideration, he was of opinion
that the case had not been sufficiently made out to support
an indictment. The prisoners were then discharged.

LICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)

• hiANSIOg-HO USE.
Mr. James Hill, who holds the situation of weigher
and teller and stamper of weights at her Majesty's Mint,
appeared yesterday before Sir Peter Laurie, for the pur-
pose of complaining that he had presented at the Bank
of England a sovereign, which the official to whom he
handed it clipped, without baying tested it by the legal
and authentic brass weight. The weights used by the
establishment were made of glass, and not authorised by
the Government, and enormous loss to the Government
was likely to be incurred by the use of such weights in
dealing with the gold coin of the realm. Shopkeepers
would follow the example of the Bank in 'using unsanc-
tiOned weights, if some step were not immeffiately de-
vised to put an end to the practice ; and he was fully-
determined to proceed against all parties who . should
issue any spurious instruments of the kind.
Sir PETER, LAURIE, after some conversation with Mr.
Hill, which, as nobody was in attendance on the, part of
the Bank of England, it would be imprudent to report,
asked that gentleman whether he came to the Mansion
House to make the complaint upon the authority of the
Government.

Government that he meant to attend for thethiitose

AMSTERDAM, MARCH 27.—The Handled)lad, in
an article headed, " Make haste while it is yet
time !" again strongly recommends the public to
take part in the Three per Cent. Loan, and
showing the evil consequences that will ensue if the
loan shall not be filled up. The Staats Courant ob-
serves that "it is absolutely impossible further to pro-
long the time for subscribing, and that after the 28th
of March no person will have an opportunity to sub-
scribe. What then ? Entering your name is not
paying. The first may be done in two days, as well
as in a week or more. No payment is to be made
before the 15th of April, and this only for one-
eighth part of the sum subscribed. Can any one be
so foolish or prejudiced as to bear the share in the
property-tax, with all its inconveniences—to pay on
the Ist of May, with the loss of 25 per cent. more
than he would have to contribute to the loan." It is
justly observed, on the part of the Government, in the
Staats Courant, " that everything possible has been
'done on its part to save the pe9ple, from
the necessity of laying open this affair and paying
the tax. Nobody, we suppose, is so foolish as to
flatter himself that the property-tax, if necessary,
will not be rigorously enforced. A greater public
interest depends on it than the mere financial neces-
sity. The State must be ruined, society would be
broken, either if it falls into a state of lawlessness, or if
laws passed by the competent authority remains inef-
fective. We learn with pleasure that many of our fel-
low citizens, having heard the explanations given in
the town-hall by the committee of lawyers which
daily meet there, have hastened to subscribe to the
loan. May their example be generally imitated."
THE HAGUE, MARCH 26.—The Dutch navy con-

tivities this winter have been much reduced, owing to the
death of the King's sister. The Austrian, Russian, and
Prussian Ministers gave splendid fetes, and, since Lent began,
we have had some delightful musical parties at Lady
Strachan's and Mrs. Ramsay's. The weather has been
throughout the winter most beautiful, and several English
yachts, as well as the Crusader, belonging to H.R.H. the
Count de Syracuse, have made the Bay very animated.
Several matches have taken place between the yachts of Mr.
Delafield, Mr. Flemming, Mr. Berney, and Mr. Flemming,
jun., but, with one or two exceptions, the Crusader has had
the victory.

FISHERIES.

Captain PECHELL called the attention of the Go-
vernment to the state of the fisheries, in consequence of
the regulations adopted by the Convention between
England and France. It appeared that two French
fishing boats had been fined for not having the requisite
numbers and letters on the bows of their boats. He
wished to know whether arrangements had been made
for the purpose of informing the fishermen of France in
what manner they were to regulate their conduct in ap-
proaching the English coast.
Sir R. PEEL said that he had informed the Hon.
Gentleman some time ago that he believed it was the
intention of the French Government to submit a project
of law on the subject to which he had referred to the
Chamber of Deputies. He would make inquiries in the
two cases to which the Hon. and Gallant Member had
referred.

The subject then dropped.
EXPIRING LAWS.
On the motion of Sir G. CLERK the following Mem.
hers were appointed on the Expiring Laws' Commit.
tee :—Sir George Clerk, the Chancellor of the Ex.
chequer, Sir Thomas Fremantle, the Attorney-General,

Mr. Baring, Mr. Wilson Patten, Sir George Grey, Mr.
Charles Wood, Mr. Greene, Mr. Gladstone, and Mr.
Home Drummond.

ATMOSPHERIC RAILWAYS.
Mr. SHAW gave notice of his intention, on Monday
next, to move for a Select Committee, to inquire into
the important principle of atmospheric railways.
ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE.
On the motion of Sir R. PEEL it was agreed that the
House at its rising do adjourn till Monday next.
FACTORIES BILL.
Sir J. GRAHAM said, that before moving the Order
of the Day for proceeding with the Factories Bill, in
order to withdraw it, perhaps the House would allow
him to present a petition of great importance, from
sixty-two firms in Manchester, employing upwards of
30,000 labourers, who were assessed to the poor
to the amount of 44,0001. a-year, and embracing,
as he had been credibly informed, nine-tenths
of the capital employed in the cotton manufactories of
that town. The prayer of that petition was in his
opinion well entitled to the consideration of the House.

LITERATURE.
CONFESSIONS OF A TVHITEFOOT.
Ben^icy, London, 1841.
These " Confessions," which are dedicated to the 1
Earl of Devon and the other members of the Irish
Landlord and Tenant Commission, purport to be
the revelations of a convict who has escaped
from his thraldom, and who here relates
all the circumstances that induced him to
connect himself with one of the Captain Rock con-
spiracies in Ireland, together with the atrocities the
witnessed during the period of his association with
these lawless men. The volume is ushered into the
world, under the auspices of a gentleman who de.
scribes himself as being a barrister, and who, in his
introductory notice, intimates pretty plainly that the
" Confessions " may justly be regarded as genuine.
It is by no means unlikely that they are
founded in fact, and that several of the occurrences
related actually took place ; but they are much
too highly coloured, the language, too, is exagge-
rated and stilted throughout, and there is an utter
want of that simplicity and unaffected earnestness
which is usually the language of truth. Were
the " Confessions" of a Whitefoot to be written down
j ist as they were made by him, the style, though
coarse and homely, as a matter of course, would
be terribly impressive, and the work would possess a
most enchaining interest ; but it is otherwise
when all the foppery and finery of language
is had recourse to, and exaggeration, both as
regards description and incident, are substi-
tuted for the simple, forcible, utterances of
nature. Who could suppose for an instant that
a rude, untaught Irish Whitefoot would express
himself in this inflated, metaphorical style ? " That
distortion which had obliterated the very impress of
humanity from his brow, denoted how truly in that
moment's agony, memory had fulfilled her task,
marshalling her spectre forms, and compelling heart-
stricken Guilt to scan the future by her lurid light."
-The volume abounds in similar specimens of tawdry,
tinsel eloquence.

LUNATIC ASYLtikS-IR ELAND.

Lord MONI'EAGLE moved for a return of the cor-
respondence between the Government and the Inspectors
of District Lunatic Asylums, on the subject of the
treatment of lunatics in asylums in Ireland. In
Ireland lunatics were not subject to the supervision of
any Government agents, and he thought there should
be some provision made from the estimates of the year
to effect this purpose.
The motion was agreed to without opposition.
Their Lordships then adjourned.
