UNION-HALL.

Lucy George, a girl of 16, only acquitted at the Surrey
Sessions last week for felony, was charged with robbing
her aunt of several articles of dress and a half-sovereign.
The complainant took the prisoner•home after her ac-
quittal at the above sessiors, and the former being
obliged to leave home for a short time; when she re-
turned she found the prisoner had decamped with the
above property. She was taken shortly afterwards, and
it was found she had pledged the clothes at a pawn-
broker's shop,
The hamirrnATi committed the prisoner for trial, ob-
serving that the lenity extended to her at the sessions
appeared to have had no, effect in correcting her pro;
pensity for theft.

CLERKEIV WELL.
Two bricklayer's labourers, named Boleyn and Bandey,
were charged with assaulting and threatening a publican
named Roecliffe.

The assault, which was of a very trifling nature, was
proved against Boleyn, and it appeared that the landlord
struck Boleyn a very severe' blow on the eye. As both
prisoners, however, threatened the complainant's life,
they were bound over to keep the peace.
The case drew from Mr. GREENWOOD, the sitting ma-
gistrate, the following important observations :—lt was
clear that the present case sprung from a system the most
pernicious and destructive of the comfort of the families of
the poor. The payment of labourers by their masters at
public-houses. It was managed in this way—the master
gave six or seven men a five pound note to be divided
between them, and the publicsn refused to change it un-
less they drank a certain quantity of liquor. The prac-
tice had been put down in the ir,rth of England, where
it was very prevalent, and it was quite as deserving of
suppression by A,t, of Parliament as the tri ck system."

The following are the advantages which this Improved edition pos-
sesses over its predecessors. While the Editor has given all the
necessary references to those Commentators whose opinions are cited
in the work, he has carendly avoliied the repetition of names which
are needle sly produced often in two or three parts of the same quo-
tation—a tautology which has been felt as a source of annoyance and
confusion, rather than of assistance, to the inquiring student. Neither
has ho perpetuated the accumulating errata of a series of former edi-
tions, each of which, in passing through the press without any parti-
cular critical revision, has generally added its own quota to the
fit iltw mass but he has beStowed the utmost pains to impart a
character of correctness to all the scriptural references, as well as to
the Hebrew and Greek quotations. The vowel points have in every
instance been added to the biblical Hebrew, a practice not required
in passages from the Rabbinical writers. Thus, "while a consider-
able advantage has been gained in point of compression, it is hoped
nothing has been lost in general utility."

TILE WARWICK AND LEAMING

TON RAILWAY.

LEAMINGTON, MONDAY EVENING.—To-day this
line, connecting Coventry, Kenilworth, Leamington,
and Warwick, by means of the London and Birming-
ham Railway, with the metropolis, was opened. The
line is about nine miles long, and 120 from town,
being within four hours journey of the metropolis.
It has been constructed under the superintendence of
Mr. Robert Stephenson, is what is technically called
a single line, has cost 170,0001., and has taken 18 months
to complete. On Monday last the Directors of the
London and Birmingham made an experimental trip
over it, accompanied by Major-General Pasley, the
Government Inspector of Railways, starting by the
six o'clock, A.M., train from London, and after exa-
mining the most important points upon the line,
reeched Leamington at twelve, and partook of a cold
collation. They returned by special train to town,
General Pasley expressing himself highly satisfied
with the works and general engineering. One of the
main advantages of this extension will be the facilities
it will confer on the inhabitants of the southern dis-
tricts of Warwickshire for the economical supply of
coals. The line is of a singular construction, being
a continued series of ascents and descents, form-
ing an undulating surface from terminus to
terminus. Kenilworth, the only station between
Coventry and Leamington, is five miles from the
former, and three and three-quarters from the
latter, is situated on the outskirts of the town, and
within a stone's throw of the castle. It is built of
Kenilworth stone. The Leamington station is ele-
gantly constructed in the Roman Doric style, and is
situate in the main road between Leamington and
Warwick, at a place called Emscott, in the parish
of Millverton. A continued series of cuttings and
embankments occur throughout the distance. The
branch diverges, by a sharp curve, out of the main
line at Coventry, and preserves an undulatory course
to Leamington, a perpetual impetus being kept up
between the ascents and descents. One of the prin.
cipal works is that of the Milburn viaduct, prettily
situated in the centre of a valley, and composed of
seventeen arches of red brick faced with stone. Then
follows a timber bridge of fifty feet span, uniting
the roads of Leek-Wootton, Hill-Wootton, and
Stoneleigh, with Guy's Cliffe—so named after the
celebrated Elul of Warwick, Mc MOP viaduct, e

THE PALMS ROYAL—Perhaps there is no locality
in the world to which there attaches so many and sue
varied associations of interest and curiosity, both social
and historical, as the Palais Royal, and in no era of
French history are the germs of those associations more
thickly sown than in that of the Fronde—when Bourbon
was arrayed in civil warfare against Bourbon—father
against son, brother against brother, and even lover
against mistress, and friend against friend. That the
announcement, therefore, of an historical romance be-
longing to that period, and bearing the title of " THE
PALMS ROYAL," should have excited unusual curiosity,
was not to be wondered at ; and the publication of the
work has not disappointed the expectations it raised.
Tim principal characters that figure in it are among the
most remarkable of their age and country. Some of
them, such as Conde—le grand Con,!6—Mazarin, De
Retz, and Turcnne—amongst the most remarkable of
modern times ; and the secondary ones, such as Anne of
Austria, the Duchess de Chevreuse, the Duke of Beau•
fort, the Duke of Orleans, &c..&c., are perhaps still more
- fitted than their greater contemporaries for the purposes
of the novelist. The novel is replete with spirited and
stirring pictures of the times and the events which have
given it birth, and it will be read with eager interest
wherever works of this nature find their way.
The inhabitants of Preston-street were startled on
Tuesday evening by a flock of stormy petrels alighting
on theiroofs of their houses, where they continued during
the night to utter their shrill and doleful cry, as though
in apprehension of some great calamity. The fisher-
men look upon this unusual circumstance, which has
not occurred in Brighton for many years, as a sign of
a severe winter.—Brigliton Herald.

varied associations of interest and curiosity, both social
and historical, as the Palais Royal, and in no era of

SURREY.

The popular drama lately produced at the Adelphi
and Haymarket Theatres, of MM. Dumanois and
Dennery, entitled Don Ccesar de Bazan, was last
night brought out at this public place of entertain-
ment on the Surrey side of the water. The produc-
tion of the piece at an earlier period has been delayed
to the present time in consequence of the engagements
of Mr. Charles Mathews and Madame Vestris. It is
unnecessary to enter into the plot of the piece, as it
has already been presented to the public at the
Adelphi and Haymarket Theatres. It will be suf-
ficient to say that it was eminently successful, though
we think a little cautious pruning would do it an
effectual service. The scenery, by Messrs. Brunning
and Turner, from D. Roberts's celebrated views in
Spain, cannot be too highly spoken of; and the music,
which has been arranged by that universal favourite
Stansbury, reflects great credit upon him. Johnson,
Hughes, and Hicks sustained the characters appro-
priated to them with great ability ; the puns
of Lewis, although many of them were far-
fetched, elicited roars of laughter;and kept the gods
in good temper, and the excellent acting of Miss
Terrey was most deservedly applauded. We must
not forget the performance of Mrs. H. Vining and
Mrs. Honner, as Lazarillo and Maratana ; they sus-
tained their parts with their usual talent, and made
the most of them. The piece was announced for
repetition every evening until further notice, by Mr.
Hughes, amid general plaudits. We understand that
several new pieces are in preparation, and will shortly
be produced, and that engagements have been entered
into, qy the spirited female lessee, with many eminent
performers. The evening's amusements were con-
cluded by The Eve of Battle, or Woman's Nerve,
and The Crown Prince, or The Buckle of Brilliants,
which, having been performed for some weeks, have
become deservedly favourite pieces.

AGRICULTURAL POVERTY.

Haying lately visited a part of the country on the
borders of Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire, and
only a few miles from the Duke of Buckingham, I
took some interest in observing the condition of the
agricultural labourers in that neighbourhood. Had I
not beheld those poor people, I could not have credited
a true description of their state. Where the manu-
facture of straw plait is carried on, you will now see a
great many of the grown-up lads, and even the men,
engaged in it, in consequence of the want of employ
on the farms. And yet that business is overdone ;
the men and the lads are, evidently, not at all wanted
in it, but turn to the employment merely from having
nothing else to do. Their next move is, into the
union house.

It is a difficult thins to depict, in a few words, the
appearances of the misery here exhibited. We may
say " very, very poor," ' excessively poor," and so
forth, using any general terms you please, which,
after all, can only express such depth of distress as
might occur to any body from accidental circum-
stances, and in a short time. It needs minuteness of
description, to those who have not beheld it, to repre-
sent the character of the poverty seen here, which ap-
proaches very nearly to, if it does not quite equal, the
lowest depth of wretchedness which you find in the
most despotic States on the continent of Europe. The
mud-made huts or hovels are fit only for pigs to live
in, and the existence of such dwellings for human
beings is a disgrace to our common country—more
especially to that part of it where such things are
seen—and still more especially to those great lords
of the soil who inhabit that part, and who
make so many loud pretensions of solicitude for the
people on the land. The raggedness and the filth of
that people is surpassed, I should suppose, nowhere
but in Ireland. But it was the lords of the land who
brought Ireland to her present state ; and, therefore,
why may we not expect them to produce the same
here, if they are allowed ? There is a squalidness
which looks almost like the plague--denotes the suf-
fering either of dreadful disease or long-continued
famine. And this is in England ! and in Bedford
and Buckingham ! ! two of the counties the most ex-
clusively possessed by those who call themselves
" farmers' friends," and who demand " protection !I "
In the counties to which I allude, and where the
people are thus suffering, the land is nothing like
fully cultivated, and it requires no more than for the
people to be allowed to till it properly, to furnish
them all with abundance of food.—October 12.—
(From a Correspondent of the Wiltshire Independent.)

honour to announce that they have received instructions
to offer the above valuable and eligibly situated Premises for
public competition, on a day to be named in a future advertisement.
These Premises are upon the Banks of the Calder (the water of
which has long been celebrated for its excellency for Dyeing pur.
poses), and are situate higher up the stream than any other similar
establishment.

The works possess facilities for the transit of goods rarely to be
met with. They are bounded by the river Calder, the Calder and
Hebble Navigation, and the Wakefield and Denby Dale Turnpike
road, and art Within a short distance of the Manchester and Leeds
Railway.

In the immediate vicinity are several working Collieries, from
whence fuel may be obtained on very reasonable terms.
The Buildings have been erected within the last four years, and
are arranged upon a plan admitted by competent judges to be equal
if not superior to any other Dyehouse in the kingdom.
The Steam Engine is 30 horse power, and connected with it are
FIVE LARGE BOILERS,
constructed for the purpose of generating steam for the works, and
all the machinery (Including large Indigo Mill, and every requisite
for preparing Dye-woods), utensils, and implements, are on the
most modern and improved principles.
Attached to the premises is
A NEWLY-BUILT DWELLING-HOUSE,
containing dining, drawing, and breakfast-rooms, and two kitchens
on the ground-floor; and adjoining are tastefully laid-out Plea-
sure Grounds, sloping to the river, and forming a most desirable
residence for the Proprietor of the Works.

Contiguous are
TWO ACRES OF GRASS LAND,
And excellent STABLES AND WORKSHOPS.

Plans and particulars of the property are in course of p repara.
tion, and may shortly be had on application to the parties to be
named in a future announcement,

For further particulars, or for an order to ♦iew the works, apply
at the offices of Messrs. Carr and Nettleton, and Taylor and
Westmorland, Solicitors, Wakefield.

SMITHFIELD.

The number of 137,37tsotTerecr iriTar market were, the
time of year considered, extensive ; but their general
quality, was very interior. The attendance of buyers
being numerous, the primest breeds commanded a ready
sale, at fully the late improvement in the currencies—
the best Scots producing quite 4s per Slbs ; but in all
other kinds, only a limited amount of business was doing,
at about stationary prices. However, at the close of the
market, a good clearance was effected. Notwithstanding
the late fine rains, a great scarcity of grass is still com-
plained of, hence the few store beasts here this morning
met a very dull inquiry, at naiser.,bly low figures.
During the last week the imports of foreign stock into
London and the outports have been very extensive, they
having amounted to about 200 beasts and 80 sheep from
llolland and Germiny. These arrivals. aided to those
previously advised, form the following totals for the pre-
scot year ::--

.London
Liverp00l
Hull
Southampton 2lO 71
Devonport l2O ~

Total ....... 2,903 head.
The actual number of Sheep imported has been 586.
To-day. we had 30 Beasts and 20 Sheep on offer from
Holland, but they sold heavily, at about previous figures.
The Bullock droves from the northern grazing districts
consisted of 2,000 Short Hornv. From Norfolk, Suffolk,
Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 400 Scots and
Hoinebreds ; from the western and midland counties, 600
Herefords, Devons, Runts, &c. ; from other parts of Eng-
land, 300 of various breeds ; from Scotland, 212 horned
and polled Scots ; and from Ireland, 40 beasts. The
supply of Sheep was considerably less than that exhi-
bited on this day se'nnight, while the Mutton trade was
rather active, at full prices. In Calves and Pigs, the
supnlies of which were on the whole good, a fair business
was doing at last week's quotations.

SUOAR.—The market for British Plantation is in-
active, only about 400 hhds having been sold at about
previous prices. The public sales have consisted
chiefly of 2,250 bags Manilla, which was taken in

Muscovado kind at 17s, being above the value. The
only transaction which has transpired privately worth
reporting consists of about 300 hhds Porto Rico,
which have been sold for refining in bond at 19s 6d.
The quantity of British Plantation landed last week at
the East and West India Docks was 2,400 hhds 251
tierces 456 barrels, and there were taken for home con-

VICTORIA.

Don Cesar de Bazan having made the round of
the houses on the Middlesex side of the Thames, has
adventured into Surrey; and last night witnessed his
first appearance at the Victoria, Mr. Osbaldiston per-
sonating the redoubted Don himself, while Miss
Vincent sustained the no less difficult character of
the Gitana. It would be an oft-repeated and un-
grateful labour to detail the plot of the drama, which,
thanks to its intrinsic qualities, is so well known to
the theatrical world. It is a more pleasing task to
chronicle the excellencies of the artistes. The Don
—the brave, the honourable, but very reckless Don—
was enacted to the very life. The careless adventurer
transformed in one moment, by the action of wounded
honour, into the high-minded and haughty
Grandee, exhibited nothing of the startling
and discordant abruptness which might be
supposed to arise from the sudden change. No.
The true nobility of nature but wanted ocecasion to
exhibit itself; and the King, Charles 11. (Mr. Dale),
by his attempt upon the virtue of his subjects wife,
at once aroused the bitter feelings, which had only
before lain dormant. Miss Vincent's acting was
above all praise. In the ballad singer of Madrid, as
in the wife of the fiery Count, she exhibited a delicacy
of sentiment, a subdued energy of purpose, which
proved that she had carefully studied the trying part
assigned her. They were excellently well supported
by the inferior personages. The drama was most
successful, and not a little of that success may be
ascribed to the manner in which it has been got up
by the talented lessee. The costumes are faithfully
copied from that worn by the proud Court of Spain
at the troubled period to which the romance has
reference. The scenery reflected credit on the
artist, and a moonlight view in particular ex-
hibited the finish of a cabinet painting. The
drama was received throughout with every mark
of approbation, and will, we are assured, become a
first favourite with the good folks of Lambeth. Don
Caesar was succeeded by Coleman's Maniac, in which
Mr. Graham sustained the principal character with
his wonted ability. The evening's amusements were
wound up by the clever farce of That Rascal Jack,
the scapegrace being personated by Mr. Jonn Her-
bert, who sent his audience home in the best of tem-
pers. 'We most cordially recommend our friends and
all pleasure-seekers to visit the Victoria.

CITY OF LONDON.

The Belle's Stratagem was produced at this theatre
last evening, and it is a pleasure to witness the change
of taste in the audiences from combats and red fire, to
sterling good comedy. Mr. Wilsone was the Sir
George Touchwood ; Doricourt, Mr. Roxby. The
Flutter of Mr. J. Browne was a spirited perform-
ance. Mrs. Walter Lacy, as Letitia Hardy, was
beautiful; indeed, above all praise. The character
of Miss Ogle was very excellently acted by Miss M.
Lee, who made the most of so trifling a part. Miss
K. Howard was the Mrs. Racket, and Mrs. D. Lee
Lady Touzhwood. The comedy was excellently got
up, and the house crowded.

THE CORN AVERAGES.—We have received a state-
ment from a Correspondent to the effect that the corn-
factors throughout the country are busy at the old work,
so much complained of under the late Corn Bill, of
making fictitious sales, and thus raising the apparent
average price of grain, and, of course, keeping down the
duty. Barley is said to be the species of grain in which
speculations of this kind have been made, and it is added
that efforts are being made to expose those guilty of
this practice. We believe that these fictitious sales can-
not be prevented under the present law, any more than
they were under the previous law ; and, however much
we may regret the fact, it is not the less certain. It is
almost impossible to find out whether sales are bona fide.
On making inquiry into the statements of our Corre-
spondent, we find that they are very likely to be true ;
certain it is, as we have been informed on very good
authority, that it is difficult indeed to sell the very finest
qualities of grain at the quoted average price. This fact
at once shows that fictitious sales are still made amongst
corn-factors, even under the model measure of Sir R.
Peel ; it also shows the great amount of grain which
has arrived in this country under that measure, and
which will not be purchased at the quoted price, in the
full expectation of a further decline. These facts, we
think, completely justify us in the opposition which we
have felt compelled to give the now Corn Bill of Sir 11.
Peel, which is rapidly ruining our farming interest, and
which, taken in connexion with the other pet measures
of the Eight lion. Baronet, will ultimately have the
most serious influence on every other interest in the
country.—Post.
