WANDSWORTH.

Thomas Hoy, John Colleau, John Burn, and TVm.
Leech, four able-bodied men, were brought up in cus-
tody, upon the following charge :
Mr. King, the master of the Wandsworth and
Clapham Union, stated that the prisoners were ad-
mitted on the previous night as destitute persons.
They were furnished with a bath, supper, and bed,
and in the morning were required to pick two pounds
of oakum each before breakfast. This they positively
refused to comply with. He had recently discovered
that a general combination had been entered into by
the mendicants to resist that particular portion of the
Act which required a casual pauper to execute a cer-
tain amount of labour in the morning before he had
breakfast, or otherwise to leave the house without
breakfast.

Mr. PAYNTER, after explaining the law to the pri-
soners, said it was evident, from the cool manner in
which they had gone to work, and the universal de-
fence that had been made by all casual paupers, brought
before him last week, that a combination or conspiracy
did exist, he could only tell the prisoners that, if they
expected to benefit themselves by such conduct, they
were miserably deceived. The last new Poor-law
Act passed enabled magistrates to treat these cases
more severely, and in future he would certainly act up
to the letter of the law. In this case he would only in-
flict a punishment of 21 days' hard labour, trusting
that the prisoners would advise other misguided per-
sons not to run into danger.
The prisoners, on their way to the station-house,
said the master had guessed right—there was a com-
bination.

It is not perhaps generally known that Lord
Glenlyon, the heir presumptive to the Dukedom of
Athol, and nephew to the Duke of Northumberland,
who has given.the use of Blair Castle to her Majesty,
is the. greet ?•grandson of Lieutenant-General Lord
George Murray, who commanded the rebel army under
Prince Charles 'Stuart, during nearly the whole of
the rebellion in the year 1745, until the battle of
Culloden gave the death-blow to the hopes of the unfor-
tunate house of Stuart. Lord George, who sacrificed
his all by his attachment to the cause of the Stuarts,
was obliged to flee to France, and, though worthy of a
better fate, died under attainder and in exile,
during the whole of which he experienced the most
unmerited malignant hostility from Charles Edward,
bat he enjoyed the friendship of the Chevalier St.
George up to the time of his death ; and upon the
death of his uncle, the then Duke of Athol, without
4sa-tte the son of Lord George Murray became Duke of
''Athol, and from whom is descended the present Lord
GlenlYon, whb has now- the h'onair of aCcomnitidating a'
sovereign of house of BiunS•Wiek at the ancient
feudal residence of the Athol family, and in the very
centre of a district, the former inhabitants of which, the
numerous clansmen of the ":Hurrays of Athol," almost
to a man followed Lord George Murray to the field to
support the claims of the exiled family of the Stuarts to
the throne of these realms.

BRAZILIAN SUGAR. ••••••• BAIIIA, JUNE 8. Sugar
could be had on shore here this year at the following
rates :—For browns 9s. 6d., and whites 13s. 6d. per cwt.;
and after pa) ing expenses here Is., and freight 4s. 2d
more per cwt., be delivered on the quay in England, the
first for 14d., and the latter for 2d. a pound. Compare
this with the price of the untaxed and monopolised article
consumed by the En4lish ! Our coffee could also, last
year, have been delivered in England for 295. per cwt.,
a fraction above 3d. per lb.

A FREE CHURCH IN ENGLAND. - Encouraged by
the appearances of success which have attended the ef-
forts of the Free Church Seceders from the Scotch Esta-
blishment, a party of gentlemen in the diocese of Exe-
ter, entertaining low Church principles, have deter-
mined upon opening a church in that city which shall
be entirely independent, so far as all matters of
discipline are at least concerned, of the Bishop. This
new free Episcopal Church is situate very near to the
parish church of St. Olave's, Exeter, and is about to
be solemnly opened (as we have been informed).
The clergymen who are to officiate, and who must be
supposed to have seceded from the Church, although
they still hold their preferments, are the Rev. H. B.
Bulteel, late Fellow and Tutor of Exeter College, Ox-
ford ; the Rev. James Shore, of Bridetown ; and the
Rev. W. Cowie. They have issued a lengthened ad-
dress, from which the following is an extract :—" It has
long been felt by many who are attached to the Pro-
testant Church as well as to the Episcopal order scru-
pulously administered, that for the preservation and in-
crease of evangelical religion in these days of revived
superstition. and arrogant assumption, it is highly de-
sirable to attempt the formation of an Episcopal
Church, distinct from the. Established Church, on a
sufficiently comprehensive basis to effect the union of
general believers in Christ, who may not object to Epis-
copal discipline, though otherwise differing on other
important points.—Church and State Gazette.
DEATH FROM THE FEROCITY OF A RAM.—A most
melancholy catastrophe occurred at Charmouth, from
the ferocity,pf a rain, the property of Mr. R. Harris,
of Catherstone -Farm, on Friday, the 6th instant. A
poor woman of the name of Sarah Hoare, aged about
sixty years, was walking in a field near the beach
when the ram suddenly attacked her, gored her, and
knocked her down. At the time, one of the Coast-
guard men, being near the spot, endeavoured to
drive the savage animal away from her ; but being
likely to be gored himself, he was fain to betake himself
to the bank of a hedge and pelt the animal with stones.
That being to no purpose, he left to get a pole to .drive
it off; but before his return the shepherd arrived, and
got off the furious beast. The poor creature, however,
was so much injured that she lingered in great agonies
until Monday, when death put en end to her sufferings.
On Tuesday, the 10th instant, a coroner's inquest was
held before J. Frampton, Esq., when John Carey, Esq.,
M.D., declared it to be his opinion that the death of
the deceased had been caused by injuries received from
the goring of the ram, to which conclusion the jury
came, adding a deodard of ls. on the ram. Our inform-
ant tells us that some witnesses were not present who
could have proved that the owner of the animal wes
aware that it was not fit to be at large, for that sonic
time ago the dairyman's daughter was gored by it ; and
that only one week previous to the above melancholy
affair, a nurse maid of Mrs. M'Clay was driven into the
river, with a child in her arms, by the same ram.—Sher-
bourne Journal.
