UNION-HALL.

Yesterday an elderly man, named Morris, was
convicted of obtaining money under the old deception
of pretended illness and forged signatures to a peti-
tion for relief. His detection was owing to the curious
accident of Horsford, the Mendicity officer, passing
at the time the prisoner was exhibiting his petition,
and displaying all the well-feigned symptoms of se-
vere disease. The moment he caught sight of the
officer he " bolted," leaving his'petition behind him ;
the officer gave chase, having for six years known him
as an impostor, and captured him.
Mr. TRAILL sentenced him to three months' im-
prisonment, with hard labour, telling him that the
next time he was brought up he should be sent to the
sessions.

BANK OF ENGLAND NOTES.

A Sessional Paper (No. 95) ordered by the House of
Commons to be printed on the 11th instant, and entitled
" Bank of England—Bank of England Notes," has just
been issued from the Vote-office. Of the first of the
returns which it comprises (moved for by Mr. William
Williams), it is not possible, on account of its exceed-
ingly voluminous details, to present the reader with any
but a very general abstract. It is—(L) "An Account
of the Notes of the Bank of England in Circulation,
distinguishing that of the Branch Banks from that in
London; of the Amount of all Deposits, distinguishing
Public from Private; of the Amount of all Securities
held by the Bank, distinguishing Public from Private,
and distinguishing Private into the heads of Bills and
Notes discounted, and others; and of the Amount of
Bullion in the Bank at the close of the business in every
week, from the 7th day of July, 1841, to the present
time." The return is made out form each week in this
form, viz. :

FOREIGN..

The King and Queen of the French on Wednesday even-
ing received the Brazilian Minister, Prince d'Ettingen
Wallerstein, the Duke Decazes, Counts de Montalembert
and de Montgelas, Baron Mortier, the Prefect of the Ariege,
Messrs. Havin, Guyet-Desfontaines, Deslong,rais, Boissel,
Tribert, and Calmon; the Duchess Decazes, the Baroness
Mortier, and a great number of Peers.
The 2ioniteur announces that th• Court will go into
mourning on the occasion of the death of the King of Sweden
for twenty-one days.
The funeral of the Count de Briqueville, Member of the
Chamber of Deputies, took place on Thursday, at eleven
o'clock. The grand deputation of the Chamber, and a num-
ber of military men, were assembled at that hour at the
Hotel du Rhin, Place Vendome, the residence of the de-
ceased, and accompanied the procession to the church.
Count Pajol, whose death we announced. on Saturday, was
72 years of age, and had been in the army for 53 years. He
was aide-de-camp of Kleber at the battle of Altenkirchen, who
conferred on him the rank of chef-d'escadron on the field of
battle. He was promoted to the grade of Colonel by Massena, at
the battle of Zurich. His commission of General was dated from
Austerlitz, and that of General of Division from Moscow. In
I 830 he was appointed Commander of the first military division,
which post he held for twelve years. During his long ca-
reer he was frequently wounded, and had sixteen horses
killed under him. At Leipsic, in particular, a bomb baying
burst under his horse's belly, he fell and broke .his left arm.
It was by a sort of miracle that he escaped being killed ; and
Napoleon, who witnessed the occurrence, thinking it im-
possible that the General could survive, exclaimed, " I sus-
tain a great loss which I shall not easily repair ; if Pajol
should recover now, he must be destined never to die !"
The returns of the imports into France in January last,
published by the Administration of Customs, exhibit a de-
crease of 361,439 f. in the amount of duties collected during
that month, as compared with those of the corresponding
month of 1843.

A rebellion broke out on Wednesday evening at the Insti-
tution de St. Barbe, one of the largest private scholastic
establishments in Paris, having upwards of 300 pupils. Se-
veral of the refractory youths have oom sent I ome to their
families, and will not be re-admitt4,l until after a rigid scru-
tiny into their conduct.
The Gazette de France states that the Duchess de Gontaut
has received a letter from- the sister of the Duke de Bor-
deaux, dated Goritz, th,i2th, and announcing that a marked
improvement has taken place in the' State of the Duke d'An
gouleme.

A few days ago, a man engaged in digging a well,
at Mont-le-Fransois (Haute-Saone), bought about 401bs. of
gunpowder, in order to blow up a stratum of rock at which
he had arrived. On entering his dwelling, he let fall the bag
of powder, which burst, and the whole of the contents was
scattered on the floor. It was night, but the wife, to avoid
the risk of leaving the powder where it was till the morning,
determined to sweep it up. While thus engaged, the finer
particles, raised in dust by her broom, caught fire, and
caused the whole to explode ; and the result was terrible.
The house was scattered in portions in every direction, and
the man and his wife were both driven, with the door, to a
distance of 15 yards. Their state is dreadful. Some hopes
of saving the man are entertained, but none of the woman.—

do nian and the Ayrshire line. The former, by its
diverging east and west from Lanark to Edinburgh
and Glasgow, would be really a competing line with
the Edinburgh and Glasgow,—besides making the
distance between the two cities more than 60 miles,
instead of 46 or 47 as at present. It was clearly the
interest of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Company
to oppose the Caledonian Company, which also pro-
posed to carry a line across the Edinburgh and Glas-
gow line, direct north to Stirling and Perth. In
answer to questions from various gentlemen, !Ir.
Leadbetter added that the Caledonian Company would
have 112 miles of new line to make, after taking ad-
vantage of 20 miles of mineral railways in the neigh-
bourhood of Glasgow; their capital was to be 1,800,000/.,
or 16,0001. a mile. The Glasgow, Dumfries, and Car-
lisle Company had only 92 miles to execute, which their
engineer assured them could be done (paying four per
cent. during execution to the shareholders) at
1,300,0001., or 13,0001. a:mile. Some further state-
ments and conversation ensued, in the course of which
Mr. Leadbetter stated that the total amount sub-
scribed was about 400,0001., or nearly one-third of
the whole amount required, though the scheme had
been before the public only for a few days. It was
ultimately resolved, that that the best thanks of the
meeting be given to Mr. Leadbetter and Mr. Logic,
for the valuable information, and that they be
requested to take an an early opportunity of convening
another meeting of proprietors of the Edinburgh and
Glasgow, and the Glasgow, Kilmarnock, and Ayr
Railways, and of such other parties as are favourable
to the the western line from England to Glasgow, by
Dumfries and Ayr.—Manchester Guardian of Sa-
turday.

The funeral of the Count de Briqueville, Member of the
Chamber of Deputies, took place on Thursday, at eleven
o'clock. The grand deputation of the Chamber, and a num-
ber of military men, were assembled at that hour at the
Hotel du Rhin, Place Vendome, the residence of the de-
ceased, and accompanied the procession to the church.
Count Pajol, whose death we announced on Saturday, was
72 years of age, and had been in the army for 53 years. He
was aide -de-camp of Kleber at the battle of Altenkirchen, who
conferred on him the rank of chef-d'escadron on the field of
battle. He was promoted to the grade of Colonel by Massena, at
the battle of Zurich. His commission of General was dated from
Austerlitz, and that of General of Division from Moscow. In
830 he was appointed Commander of the first military division,
which post he held for twelve years. During his long ca-
reer he was frequently wounded, and had sixteen horses
killed under him. At Leipsic, in particular, a bomb having
burst under his horse's belly, he fell and broke his left arm.
It was by a sort of miracle that he escaped being killed ; and
Napoleon, who witnessed the occurrence, thinking it im-

possible that the General could survive, exclaimed: " I sus-
tain a great loss which I shall not easily repair ; if Pajol
should recover now, he must be destined never to die I"
The returns of the imports into France in January last,
published by the Administration of Customs, exhibit a de-
crease of 361,439 f. in the amount of duties collected during
that month, as compared with those of the corresponding
month of 1843.

A rebellion broke out on Wednesday evening at the Insti-
tution de St. Barbe, one of the largest private scholastic
establishments in Paris, having upwards of 300 pupils. Se-
veral of the refractory youths have been sent home to their
families, and will not be re-admitted until after a rigid scru-
tiny into their conduct.
The Gazette de France states that the Duchess de Gontaut
has received a letter from the sister of the Duke de Bor-
deaux, dated Goritz, the 12th, and announcing that a marked
improvement has taken place in the state of the Duke d'An-
gouleme.

THE PHCENIX, STE,immt.—The Lords Commis-
sioners of the Admiralty have ordered this frigate to be fitted
with Mr. Steinman's submarine propeller, which has already
been successfully tried in her Majesty's steamers Bee and
Dwarf, and with new engines of 260 horse power.
The Phoenix is the first war.steamer fitted by the Admiralty
with a screw, -it we except the Rattler (200 horse power),
built for experiments, and has been placed at Mr. Steinman's dis-
posal in Consideration of his propeller having surpassed in speed
those of Mr. Smith (" the Archimedean screw") and Captain
Ericson in the late trials, conducted by the Admiralty, in the Bee.
The speed of the Dwarf when tried with this same propeller at
the measured mile was 12.139 miles, which Is the greatest result
yet obtained by a screw.

the case of Walter Jacks (against the commission was issued
upwards of forty years since), a dividend was declared on

70,000 L We learn that a dividend of at least 4s. in the
pound will in a short time be declared 'on the estate of John
Wood, a banker, at Cardiff, in which the last proceedings be-
fore the Commissioners took place so long since as the year

OUR MODERN PoETs.—Crabbe, Rogers, Words-
worth, Scott, Coleridge, Southey, Campbell, Moore, Byron I
Of this glorious brotherhood, who once were all living at the
same period, the survivors are Rogers, Wordsworth, Camp-
bell, and Moore. Byron, the youngest of the band, was' the
first to be withdrawn from it ; he died in 1824, in the thirty-
sixth, or thirty-seventh year of his age ; Crabbe, in 1832,
in his seventy-eighth ; Scott, a little later in the same year,
in his sixty-second; Coleridge (who was fbr some time
contributor to this paper), died in 1834, also in his sixty-
second ; Southey, in 1843, in his sixty-ninth. Of the sur-
vivors, Rogers is the senior, having been born in 1762 ; be
is, consequently, in his eighty-second year. He first distin,
guished himself in the yogi' 1786, by an " Ode to Stiper•
stition ;" his " Pleasures of Memory" did not appear till 1792.
Wordsworth was born in 1770, awl is-in his seventy-fourth
PAT ; Campbell, whose .4Pleasuree of Hope" appeared in
1799 (born in 1777), is in his seventy seventh ; and Wore,
in his sixty-fourth, having been born in 1780. Loiig may
they be preserved to us.--fost.

ESTABLISHED CHURCH IN
WALES.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
A petition has lately been sent from the inhabitants of the
parish of Mamhilad, in the diocese of Liandaff, to the Bishop
of that see, praying for a redress of their grievances, and
stating that " from the appointment of an unqualified Eng-
lish clergyman, they have been deprived of the service of
the Church in their native tongue, and that, if this evil was
continued, they had no alternative but to absent themselves
from their parish church, and seek some other place of wor-
ship, where they would hear the word of God in their own
language, and humbly praying that his Lordship will redress
this grievance."
Although it may appear singular that such a case should
occur.in these times, when the people are becoming daily
better informed of their rights, and the protection provided
for them by law, yet it is nevertheless a fact that they are
common all over the Principality ; and that, in three cases out
of four, the natives are either only allowed Divine service once
a fortnight in their own language, or have it taken away al-
together. The only remarkable feature in this case is, that
the parties still care enough for the Established Church to
claim redress, whereas, generally speaking, the Welsh have
been so wearied and disgusted by the unchristian policy pur-
sued, for the last century, by the Anglo-Cambrian Prelates,
of making it their business to try and extirpate the language
of Wales, instead of using it as the best means of promoting
and increasing religious feelings, that they have generally
abandoned their churches for Welsh Dissenting chapels,
where the services of religion are performed in Welsh, by na-
tive ministers. The parishioners of Mamhilad have deter-
mined, if their prayer is not attended to, to appeal to the
Archbishop of Canterbury, have the matter brought before
Parliament, and show that the Welsh are not excluded from
the benefit of the laws, civil or ecclesiastical. which provides
for the administration of religious services, for all her Ma-
jesty's Christian subjects attached to the Establish Church,
in their native language.

punished severely,.but not let their punishment be of
so inhuman and cruel a nature as to change their
position materially, by enlisting upon their side the
feelings and sympathies of the public. This would
have the effect of bringing the law into contempt,
and of causing the framers of it to be looked on not
as public benefactors, but as tyrants and oppressors.
We hope we have said enough to show that some modi-
fication of the present rigorous, cruel, and inhuman
system is now imperatively called for.

The plaintiff brought this action to recover the sum of
2,9031. 17s. 6d. and interest. Ts defendant was a farmer at
Mayfield, in Sussex ; the plaintiff was a timber merchant at
Lambeth, and a mortgagee of the defendant's farm.

estate. The defcndant having represented his case as a hard
one to Mr. Drew, a solicitor, Mr. Drew spoke to the plaintiff
on the subject, and the estate having been valued by a sur-
veyor at 3,0001., the latter advanced the money for which the
action was brought, and the defendant again took possession of
the farm. No mortgage deed was executed.
Verdict for the plaintiff, damages 3,4601.85. 6d.
