AMI3ER GATE, NOTTINGHAM AND BOSTON, AND
EASTERN JUNCTION R•ILWAt.-It will be seen that the Company
have obtained the powerful aid of the Midland Railway Compony
and that George Hudson, Esq., M.P., the Chairman, and John
Ellis, Esq., the Vice-Chairman, have been added to the Committee
of Direction, in addition to the alliances with the Manchester,
Buxton, Matlock, and Midland Junction, Lynn and Ely, Lynn
and Dereham Railway Companies; and in addition to the highly
respectable names upon the Provisional Committee there appears
a list of noblemen and gentlemen who have given their support
and interest to this undertaking, and through whose estates the
line will pass. This un iertaking was commenced by the Notting•
ham and Grantham Canal Companies, who have since formed an
amalgamation with the Nottingham and Erewash Valley, Amber
Gate and Manchester, the Nottingham, Vale of Belvoir and
Grantham, and Nottingham and Boston Railway Companies, and
will now afford a direct line of railway communication froth
Liverpool and Manchester in the west, to Boston, Spalding:
Lynn, Yarmouth, Norwich, Ice., in the east. The amalgamated
company are to make the whole of the line from Amber Gate to
Boston and Spalding.
SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY.--The season of this
Society will commence at Exeter Hall, on Friday next, Handel':
Israel its Egypt being the:opening performance. Mr. Phillips Will
re-appear on this occasion for the first time since his return front
America,

The Marquis of Donegal, prior to his leaving the
Isle of Wight with the Marchioness, far their seat in Ireland,
visited almost daily White's yard, to see the progress made in the
building of the schooner yacht for the Emperor of Russia, and her
Majesty's brig Contest, in the success of which vessels he talc°
the greatest interest. Mr. Ratsey has two cutter yachts building
in his yard, and there is every probability of a considerable increoB
being made in the Royal Yacht Squadron next year, indeed, el!
have seldom heard more talk about persons proposing to build than
at the present time.

THE PRESS AND THE BAR.—The disagreement be-
tween the bar and the press has been adopted as well as revived hki
the benchers of Lincoln's Inn, who have identified themselves with
the brief-hungry members of the Oxford and Western Circuits'
On the occasion of their new hall being honoured by a visit *OS
the Queen, the benchers disgraced themselves by an act at age,
puerile and pitiful. If Thursday last was a glorious day for th;
Society of Lincoln's Inn, it was a shameful one for the existi%
representatives of that fraternity. The benchers should bee;
known better than to have sullied the occasion of °-
opening of their hall, graced as it was by the Pre..
sence of royalty, with an act that any well conducted
lawyer's clerk would feel heartily ashamed to have her.,
guilty of, The public will scarcely believe it possible that 11.:
benchers of Lincoln's Inn should have forwarded invitations to th`
members of the press for the mere purpose of insulting the,p'
Such, however, is the fact, for cards were sent to the reermn:

into a snare by a show of courtesy which was to end in gruse„ive
suit. It is usually considered mean and ungentlemanly to 'en,

bar on the charge of raising money under false pretences.
Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Bodkin appeared for the prosecution ;
Dir. Ballantyne for the prisoner.
Mr. CLARKSON briefly stated the case against the prisoner. The
prisoner he said was charged with what was commonly called
Swindling, or raising money under falsespretences, froth a gentleman
of the name of Wood, who had been formerly a captain in the
Marines. The prisoner in March last introduced himself to the
prosecutor under the name of Captain Rowan Hamilton, an officer
in her Majesty's troop of sth Dragoons, who was desirous of
taking a farm which the prosecutor had to let, The result was
the defendant agreed to take the farm ; at the same time the de-
fendant cast his eye on an adjoining piece of land, which he re.
presented as well qualified for making bricks, a process in which he
excelled. lie offrred the prosecutor to commence the making of
bricks' provided he would advance 500/. Before doing anything
Captain Wood required a reference as to the respectability of the
imatterndant, and a Mr. Greenwood was the agent named. He was
zmed by the agent that the prisoner was a highly
serasble gentleman--an officer in her Majesty's ser-
go farusPlelon was thus lulled, and a cheque for 5001. given.

on the points which he intended to establish in evi-

iaatnes Wood examined by Mr. BoDKIN—He said ho lived near
oolwich. In the month of March last he was looking about for
Ta tenant for a farm of fifty acres. He named the matter to a Mr.
unton,
and he introduced the defendant. Winless first saw the
liarendant on the 27th of March, at Woolwich. He was informed
by bins then that he was Captain Bowan Hamilton of her Ma-
Y's sth Dragoon Guards. Witness frequently afterwards saw
mlto on the subject of the farm. He was referred to Mr. Green-
Wood as to the respectability of the defendant, and witness was so
catcalled with his information, that he considered a trump him card,

the farm were then agreed to, and closed in the presence of Mr.
Nokes, solicitor, of Woolwich, on the 14th of May. Witness had
Made the inquiries named on the Ist of May. Witness had a piece
of land adjoining the farm taken by the defendant, which excited
the attention of the latter, and he said it contained first-rate clay
for Making bricks. Defendant represented himself well qualified
to conduct a brick.making establishment, if 5001. was advanced for

would only charge 15 per cent, for his trouble. Witness at
Jest agreed to advance the money for that purpose, and gave him a
gue for the amount on the evening of May the 14th. About
three weeks after defendant said he wanted more capital, and
after considerable hesitation witness gave him 5001. more. Both
In April and May defendant represented himself as having leave
Of absence from the regiment, and said he could stay away as long
as he pleased. When he (witness) parted with the money, he
thought he was dealing with a man of the highest honour, else he

THE LEWSIC FAIR.—The fair just over has been
an excellent one, except fer woollens and hogs' bristles. Very ex-
tensive business has been done in cloths of all descriptions, at higher
prices than those which ruled last year. The produce of the Zollve-
rein manufactures, as well as articles of luxury and fashion, were in
great demand. Leather sold freely at advanced prices,—Frank-
fort PQatamts leasing.

MAGAZINE DAY.
COLBURN'S NEW MONTHLY.
The best article in the present number of the New
Monthly is a ballad by Charles Hooton, entitled " The
Exploits of Moreno, the Texan." It is a spirit-stirring
composition, and is such a ballad as Scott might have
written on the subject of a border foray. Moreno is
the Sheriff of Texas, and having heard of a celebrated
robber and murderer named Van Clein, who, by his
atrocities, wasl the :terror of the district—he obtains
admission to the monster's haunts in disguise, and hav-
ing reconnoitred his hiding-place, retires unmolested.
As soon as he has fled Van Clein suspects the true state
of the case, and prepares for defence. Moreno soon
arrives at tho head of a party of Lynchers ; and the
catastrophe we give in the words of the ballad itself :
Not many days were ovarpass'd, ere, in the dark of morn,
The tramp of many horsemen on the desert air was borne.
Van Clein lock'd out, and through the mist of mingled night

and cloud,
He beheld that hated stranger upon his courser proud ;
While on his left six mounted man, and six upon his right,
Pranced] oyfully and-eagerly to aid him in the flight.
Van Clein rushd out with fury, calling loudly on his sons,
To follow him like heroes, and to handle well their guns.

" Now Satin guide my bullets true, and take my soul in pay.—
I've cheaply held my life before-111 sell it dear to• day !
And a hard and bitter bargain will he have who deals with me,
As very soon this traitor and his company shall see!"
- - - - -

Van Clt:in crouch'd earthwards cat-like, and his rifle levell'd

well.—
A crack,—a blaze,—a smoke,—a groan, and brave Moreno fell.
But three belted balls in answer took the robber by the head.
Yet he fired again in falling, and when he fell was dead
The sons threw down their weapons, and in vain essay'd to fly,
The mounted Lynchers caught them both, and both adjudged

to (lie.
So they took a rope and lash'd them—those two brothers—
face to face.
And in one noose they hailed them on a tree before the place.
After that they held a revel on what they found within ;
To feast on robbers' provender, these judges deem'd no sin.'
They also found Moreno's gold, with not a doubloon spent.
So back into the saddle-bags from whence it came it went.
To recruit the wounded sheriff,—for 'twas not a mortal

wound,
Three good days and nights they tarried upon that fatal ground.
Then burn'd the buildings through and through till nothing

could be seen,
Save hot and blacken'd dust to tell the story of Van Clein !

* Literally true.
This story gives us a more favourable idea of Lynch
law then we had previously entertained. It is in the
unsettled districts of America what border law was in
th unsettled districts of the border between England
and Scotland before the union of the two Crowns—an
efficient substitute for an inefficient executive. Mr.
Justice Lynch is only a transatlantic " Belted Will
Howard." Peter Priggins gives us an amusing illus-
tration of the fable of the wolf in sheep's clothing—the
wolf in this instance being a certain Mr. Worthington,
alias Slinking Tom, who, by a judicious display of pro-
perty and piety, manages to victimise the Ebenezerites
of the village of Brackenbury to a considerable extent ;
he is, however, caught at last, and becomes an involun-
tary emigrant to Van Themen's Land. We have to re-
iterate our complaint against the abominable system of
continuations, which diverts a magazine from its legiti-
mate purpose, and converts} it into a federalism of
serials. In the present number we no,
less than six continuations—James's " Beauchan:Tt'
Captain Maryatt's " Privateersmen," " The Adven-
tures of Mr. Jolly Green," Mrs. Trollope's "Ro-
berts's on their travels," " Maxwell's Lights and
Shades of a Gentleman on Half-pay," and " Mariotti's
Organ •boys' progress." The latter promises to be a
valuable work. The account of the sufferings entailed
on the poor Italian organ-boys by the well-meant but
injudicious efforts which have been made to convert them
to Protestantism, is a sad illustration of the mischief that
may be done, and the misery that may be inflicted in the
name of humanity and religion, by most philanthropic
and t xcellent persons when they suffer their zeal to out-
run their discretion.

BENTLEY'S MISCELLANY.
The best thing that Albert Smith has yet written is
decidedly his description of the flight of the Marchioness
of Brinvilliers from Paris to Liege, which appears in
the present number of " Bentley." It is one of the
most exciting descriptions ever penned, and is quite
equal to the celebrated " Turpin's Ride to York," in
" Rookwood." She is escaping from the pursuit of
Desgrais the Exempt, who is charged to arrest her as a
prisoner. For two days and nights she has kept in ad-
vance of her pursuers, and she is at length within sight
of Liege :
" At last they entered Liege, and the pursuit now became
doubly exciting from the cries of the postilions, as they
traversed the gleoming streets at a fearful pace, cracking
their whips as they whirled :them above their heads, and
shouting in an unearthly manner to warn the passengers of
their advent. A charette in the road offered a temporary
check to .Marie's carriage, and Desgrais the next instant was
close up to her. But nearer he could not come; for the
width of the thoroughfare would not allow the two vehicles
to go abreast. They were, however, coming to a broader
street, and then Marie knew he would pass her. To avoid this,
and gain a minute of time,—for every second now was worth
the price of her life,—she collected some straw from the in-
terior of her coach, and tied it into a bundle with her hand-
kerchief; then lighting it at the lamp of the carriage, she
leaned out of window, and threw it, blazing, directly in front
of the leaders of the other voiture. The horse on which the
postilion was riding reared up in fright, and directly threw
him ; his fellow backed as well, and the wheelers coming
over them, they were all thrown together in a terrible con-
fusion before the carriage, which by its own impetus came
partly on them. In an instant Desgrais leaped upon his
feet,—for the shock had also thrown him upon the ground,—
and clearing the rider from the stirrups, he cut the traces with
his poniard, and getting the horse upon his legs, vaulted into
the saddle, leaving the rest of his equipage to the care of the
archers who were inside. The carriage of the Marchioness
was not fifty yards a-head as it turned towards the convent
she had indicated to the drivers. Once more everything
depended on a few seconds; and Desgrais goaded the poor
animal with the point of his weapon to spur it onwards; as
the horses of his intended prisoner, equally urged, kept tear-
ing on towards the goal. At last they stopped at the door
of the convent.; and, as its heavy bell sounded with a loud
and violent peal, the Exempt caine up to the carriage.
"He sprang from his horse, and tore down, rather than
opened, the door nearest the road, and seized the Marchioness
by her mantle. At that instant the gate of the convent
opened, as she jumped from the carriage, and entered the
lodge, leaving the garment in the hand of the Exempt.
Desgrais rushed through the vehicle, and was about to follow
her, when she seized a cross from the porch, and held it to-
wards him with a smile of triumph, that threw an expression
of demoniac beauty over her features.
" You dare not touch me !" she cried; or you are lost,
body and soul
" With an oath, Desgrais fell back before the sacred
emblem. Marie had thrown herself upon the Church, and
claimed a sanctuary. An impassable barrier was between
them, and the whole of his toil to arrest her had gone for
nothing. The chance had been lost, in a pursuit of nearly
one hundred leagues, by half a minute."
Desgrais, however, subsequently induces her by a
stratagem to leave the sanctuary ; she is instantly
arrested, and is on her road to Paris in the custody
of Desgrais at the conclusion of the last chapter
of the novel in the present number. The out-
pourings of D. Canter are still most amusing ;
the present libation contains much pleasant gossip anent
the artists, actors, and literateurs who flourished some
fifteen years since. We are glad to see the writer does
justice to the memory of poor Nugent: he wigs indeed a
choice spirit, witty yet kind-hearted. Peace to his manes.
" The Case of Conscience" is a good story well told, and
" Dick Sparrow's Evening Out" is an admirable drol-
lery. Maxwell gives us the commencement of an Irish
tale, " Brian O'Linn, or Luck is Everything," which pro-
mises well, and " The Gaol Chaplain" continues his se-
ries of dark pages from life's volume. The present Num-
ber of " Bentley" fully maintains the reputation of the
Magazine.
