We trust it may be very long ere we have to apply
to any lesson of political wisdom, that the example of
France may teach us, the well-known maxim—"fas
est et ab haste doceri." In a much more friendly
spirit, however, we may safely argue that there can
be no harm in our taking come leaves out of the
book of France, when their contents happen to be
applicable to the case of this country, and the
best mode of dealing with its most important inte-
rests. In our pages of yesterday we had to transfer
no less than three of such leaves into our

CLERKENWELL.

Mr Watson, a gentleman residing at No. 1, Grenville-
street, Somers-town, entered the Court, and applied to
Mr. Combo for his advice and assistance, unfitr the fol-
lowing extraordinary and mysterious circumstances :
Applicant stated that for some nights past, be and his
family had been greatly alarmed, in consequence of fire-
arms having been discharged at his house, and his
windows being broken, unfit r mysterious circumstances,
and their lives were placed in imminent danger. He
had made inquiries, in order to trace the cause, and had
kept watch, but could not succeed in satisfying himself ;
but he had no doubt that some maliciousperson intended
some mischief. On Thursday last he was in his apart-
ment sitting near the fire, when a pistol or gun was fired
off, and a bullet (now produced) shot through the window,
and passed close by his person, and he narrowly escaped
with his life. Two minutes previously he was standing
at the window in a position which, if he had kept, the
ball must have passed through his body.
Mr. COMBE—Do you suspect any one ? Applicant—
Ido not. lam not aware of having given any cause of
offence or motive to any one. My supposition is, that
some low persons in a house near my own are the parties
concerned, but I cannot identify any party as having
discharged the fire-arms. He had applied to the police
of the district, but the matter was involved in mystery.
Mr. COMBE said he could not assist him. It r. mained
for applicant and the police to exert themselves to dis-
cover the offender. It was certainly a mysterious and
very alarming affair. Applicant said the neighbourhood
was silent and retired, and, in his opinion, not sufficiently
paraded or guarded by the police.
Mr. COMBE—That ought to-form the subject of com-
plaint to the Commissioners of Police. Applicant—Un-
less some peremptory steps be instantly taken, I must
leave my house. My life, or the lives of my family, are

the subject, and make strict watch and inquiry into the
matter, and, if possible, to trace the party whodischarged

SUMMARY OF EWS

" Who rails mull read."

FOREIGN.

The severity of the weather has delayed the Madrid mail,
and we have no news later than the 6th ; but letters from
Rome state that Queen Christina has written to the King of
Naples, recommending that the Count de Trapani should
repair to Madrid forthwith, and take up his residence in that
capital for some time, as the question of Queen Isabella's
marriage must soon be settled, and his presence would be
advantageous.
A letter from Milan states that the Austrian General in
command of the troops on the frontiers between Lombardy
and Switzerland has received orders from his Government to
hold himself in readiness to march into Switzerland at a
moment's notice.

M. Murphy, the Mexican Minister to London, has arrived
in Paris, to consult with M. Maxi.no Garro, his colleague,
on the recent events in Mexico, which have led to the fall of
Santa &Nut.
Inc Archbishop of Paris has published a pastoral letter,
announcing that the following relics will be exposed in the
church of Notre Dame on Monday, TuesNlay, Wednesday,
and Friday next, being Passion Week, viz. :—A considerable
piece of the true cross ; the crown of thorns; and one of the
nails of the cross. These relics, which belonged to the Sainte
Chapelle, were given, at the period of the Concordat, by the
Emperor Napoleon to Cardinal de &Boy, Archbishop of
Paris, to be preserved in the treasury of the metropolitan
church. They were saved at the time of the first devasta
tion of the Archbishop's palace in July, 1830, and have ever
eince been kept concealed.
M. Etienne, a Member of the Chamber of Peers, and one
of the founders of the Constitutionnet, died at Paris on Wed-
nesday.

Dr. Olivier (d'Angers), one of the most distinguished mem-
bers of the faculty, and whose name must be familiar to our
readers, from his being so frequently called upon by the law
officers of the Crown for his evidence in medical jurispru-
dence, died in Paris two days ago, at the age of 49.
A letter from Zurich, of-the 9th, says—" The Valais has
followed the example of Lucerne, in calling from Naples
,everal Swiss officers. The greatest a6itation reigns in that
canton. Vaud, on the contrary, is perfectly tranquil, und
Schwytz has dismissed the troops who had been ordered to
hold themselves in readiness for action. The dispatch of M.
Guizot has produced a great sensation here."
We learn by a letter from Ceuta, of the 22d ult., that the
winter was very severe at that place. The coast of Spain,
also, from Tarifa to listapona, was covered with snow.

LITERATURE.

A FEW OBSERVATIONS on, and a few Facts
illust ati..e of. the • Evils aft .ndino the System (f
DETAINING SINGLE LUNATICS in PRI-
VATE D WEL LI • GS, without Responsible Su-

pervision.
Dr. Barry, of Richmond, the author of this
pamphlet, taker, as his text, the t;)Howing passage
fres!' the speech delivered by Sir James Graham, in
the Howe of Commons, on the 234 of July, last :

"Notwithstanding the detention of single lunatics
by their friends in private dwellings is open to abuse,
yet it does not appear that such prevails."--Sir .James
Graham's Speech in the House of commons, July 23. 1844.
And he asserts that the system is not only open to
abuse, but that abuses of the most horrible cha-
racter do actually prevail. Public asylums, and pri-
vate madhouses—that is, houses containing a plurality
of insane patients, are under the surveillance of the
commissioners of lunacy, but single lunatics, or
alleged lunatics, detained in private dwellings, are
under no surveillance whatever, and there is but
too much reason to fear, that not only are the ac-
tually insane under such circumstances wilfully
treated in a manner calculated to aggravate, and not
to cure their malady, but that many sane persons are
subjected to a system of slow torture, sufficient to
drive them mad. According to Dr. Barry's account,
atrocities the most inhuman, and immoralities the
most atrocious, are perpetrated in these private
dwellings for single lunatics. The doctor is evi-
dently an enthasiast, and may possibly have been in
some instances misled into the making of exag-
gerated statemetes, but the very fad that under the
exizting system the perpetration of the atrocities
which he has denounced is possible, ought to 1, ad to
its immediate reform; and if he can substantiate
one-half of what he alleges, Parliament will incur
a heavy responsibility if it suffers the present session
to end, without passing some legislative enactment
for the remedy of so crying an evil.

7 HE FRENCH LANGUAGE ACQUIRED IN
FOUR MONTHS; an Entirely Original System qf
Teaching the Language. By M. MARIOT DE

BE AUVOISIIV.

M. Mariot de Beauvoisin is scarcely correct in
calling his an entirely original system of teaching
language. It is an improvement upon the system of
Hamilton, as the system of Hamilton is an improve-
ment upon that of Locke; but to John Locke is due
the credit of having suggested the system of teaching
languages by means of literal translations ; and to
Jihn Clarke, author of " The Introduction to the
Making of Latin," that of having practically carried
it out. Clarke laboured for years in the cause of
teaching by means of literal translation ; and although
the labourer himself is forgotten, his labours are now
producing their fruit. John Clarke lived a century
too soon. With regard to the work now before us,
we have already stated that it is an improvement
,upon the system of Hamilton. There is an inter-
linear translation, but the translation is printed
separately on a transparent leaf, through the
interstices between the lines of which the

PRINCESS'S THE ITRE.

Banim's tragedy of Damon and Pythias was produced here
on Friday, with Mr. Edwin Forrest as Damen. Mr.
Forrest has now got tolerably used to his audience, and he is
consequently enabled to do his certainly great powers more
ample justice; he has also had the tact to perceive what were
those peculiarities of intonation and gesture which marred his
earlier efforts, and to get rid of them completely. To have
been enabled. in such a short •pace of time, entirely to cure
himself of such defects proves, that Mr. Forrest is net ~nly a
man of intellect and taste but of great self-command.
He possesses all the qualifications which go to the
making up of a first-rate actor, and he has a bright
career bef ►re him. His Damon is a fine and well sustained
piece of acting throughout. His parting with his wife was
exquisitely pathetic, and the scene at the place of execution.
where he rushes on, looking for his friend, and eventually
sinks from exhaustion, when the load is removed from his
mind, and he finds he is not too late to save him, was finely
conceived and magnificently developed. The scene in the
Senate-house enabled Mr. Forrest to give us a beautiful spe-
cimen of his declamatory powers. Since the days of Charles
Young we have had no such declaimer ota the stage. He was
excellently supported by Mrs. Stirling as Calanthe. and by
Mr. Graham a= Pythias, and was called for at the fall of the
curtain. The home was crowded to exce.s, and the legiti-
mate drama, thanks to the exertions of Miss Cushman and
Forrest, bids fair to be as successful here as operas have
hitherto been.

Her Majesty honoured the Italian Opera with her pre
sence on Saturday evening. The performances were the
opera of Ernani and the new ballet of Reline, both of
which increase in popularity on every representation.
The quintette in the second act of Ernani was rap
turously encored, as was the terzetto at the conclusion of
the opera. Her Maje=ty, who arrived at the commence-
ment of the second act of the opera, remained until
nearly the conclusion of the ballet. The house was
crowded by a fashionable audience from the very corn
meocernent of the performances. Among those present
were her Majesty and Prince Albert, attended by Vis-
countess Canning. the Hon. Miss Stanley, Hun. Miss
Hamilton, the Earl of Hardwicke, Sir E. water, the
Hon. Colond Grey, and Colonel Drummond ; the

This system would afford a very complete railway

The cmpeting system proposes to attain the same
general objects in the folloaing manner :-
1. Ey the proposed Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle
line, in connexion with the existing Glasgow and Ayre
line, giving a western line of communication from Glas-
gow to England.
2. By a line from Edinburgh to llawick, which the
promoters offer to pledge themselves to continue to Car-
lisle, giving a communication from Edinburgh to tke
West of England and the manufacturing districts.
3. By the Glasgow Junction liailway, intended to
connect by an unbroken communication the Edinburgh
and Glasgow, and railways north of the Clyde, with the
Glaszow and Ayr, and Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle.

FLANDERS MAIL.

13nussms, MAncn 12.—We learn that Mr. Stephenson
the celebrated English engineer, has accepted the proposal
made by Richards and Co., to visit the line, entre Sambre et
3lease, in all its details, to study the situation of that country
and consider the wants of the various branches of manufac-
ture, and the modifications in the proposed line which may
appear to be:advantageous.
The Senate finished to-day the discussion on the Budget
of the Department of the Interior, which was unanimously
adopted.
The Chamber of Representatives continued to-day the
discussion of that chapter of the budget of public works,
which relates to the railways, all the articles of which were
agreed to without any important debate. The Chamber then
came to the chapter on the Post•ofice. Di. Itodenback and
M. Osy insisted on the necessity of a reform. M. Ver.
haegen found fault with the present management of that de-
partment.
A letter from Ostend says—" We have long been promised
that the length of the pier for the steam-boats should be
seventy-five yards. This improvement will soon be indis-
pensable, since the number of these vessels visiting our ports
will be increased next summer. In fact, we are positively
assured that, in addition to the steamers now running be•
tween this port and England, others are nearly ready for
sea; which, as soon as the weather permits, will run between
Folkstone and Ostend.—Brussels Papers, March 13.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sin,—Having observed in your paper of yesterday even-
ing a letter signed "A County Magistrate," I should feel
obliged if you would insert, for his information, that I have
already forwarded to the Times a direct contradiction to the
paragraph which appeared in that paper on Tuesday last,
and have insisted on being immediately made acquainted
with the name of the author of so foul a calumny. Trusting
that you will give this a place in your next publication,
1 am, Sir, sour obedient servant,
lIERBERT IL MANNERS, Lieut., 37th Re` t.

P.S. I should recommend the " County Magistrate," who
appears so luminous on the subject, to obtain correct informa-
tion before venturing an opinion.

LATEST PARTICULARS.

The unfortunate man, Tawell, since his conviction,
continues in a state of the most deplorable dejection. He
is constantly attended by two turnkeys. Upon being
first conducted to the condemned cell he was mot care-
fully and minutely searched, and even his watch-key was
takes from him. With regard to the commission of the
awful crime of which he has been found guilty, he main-
tains the most obstinate silence, neither admitting nor
denying his guilt. his principal source of uneasiness ap-
pears to arise from the disgrace which he has brought
upon his unhappy family, and from the state of grief
into which he feels they must necessarily be thrown. On
Friday night he alluded to this, exclaiming, as he sat in

It has been already stated in the daily papas that
Tawell's son, by the deceased Sarah Hart, a fine Loy
of about tive y.-ars old, was in Aylesbury during the
trial. We have talked with the hostess of the inn at
which he remained, and she speaks of him in the kindest
possible manner. He used frequently tq say that Mr.
Tawell "poisoned his mother." This, however, he must,
of course, have heard from others. At the time that
the verdict was made known through the town, the boy
was standing in the bar parlour, and upon hearing it, he
immediately burst into tears, evidently showing that,
though of such tender years, he knew what the result
must be, and that he also had some affection for his un-
fortunate father. He has been since taken by his grand-
mother to Gravesend, where she resides, being as we
have learned in tolerably comfortable circumstances.
There are not many Quakers in Aylesbury, not even
so many as to form a congregation, but those that are
there do not appear to recognise the unhappy lean as one
of their body.
Mrs. Tawell, the prisoner's wife, has not visited Ayles-
bury since Sunday week, on which day she dined at the
White Hart, from which house the prisoner's dinners
were daily provided. So strong, it seems, was Mrs.
Tawell's belief that her husband would be honourably
acquitted, that she remarked, in sending his dinner to
the gaol on that day, " that it would be the last dinner
her John would have at that place."
The result of the trial was communicated to the un-
happy Mrs. Tawell in the presence of the prisoner's
brother and Miss Cutforth. On hearing the shocking
news, so opposite to what she anxiously looked forward
to, she fainted away, and it was found necessary to call in
medical assistance to her aid. Her sufferings throughout
the day were most intense ; but on Saturday she ap-
peared more calm, and was a little bett r.

happily attained by the invention of two parallel flat rings—a larger

every particle of volatilized vapour, it is free from smoke or smell,
having perfect combustion, and in full action, emits a light equal to

CROWN

JUR T.--i(ll€:furefgr. Baron ALDERSON.)

James Garden, 21, deserlllo,-.1 as a surgeon's ft gsistnnt,
was indicted. for 11.,.1-;ng fr.,loniensly intc•rmarriad with
Caroline Anne Smith, his wife, Elizabeth Garden, being
alive.

Mr. Charnock prosecuted, and Mr. Bodkin appared
for the prisoner.
From the eVidence adduced, it seemed that the pri-
soner was married three or four years ago, to his first
wife, but they had separated, and he went to live with a
chemist and druggist at Bromley', the father of the yourg
woman with whom he performed the ceremony of mar-
riage a second time, in November, 1843. It would seem
that he had carried on an improper intimacy with her
before marriap, and when the effect of that intercourse
became apparent, the father insisted upon his marrying
his daughter.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was sen-
tenced to be transported for seven years.

CORONER'S INQuEsr. On Friday forenoon, and
investigation opened on Tuesday last, was resumed before
Mr. Wakley, M.P., and a jury of thirteen householders
of St. George's, Bloomsbury, at the Boar's Head Tavern,
Tavistocik-stret, Bedford-square, concerning the death of
Mr. Henry Cordwell, aged 29, formerly a solicitor of Li-
verpool, and residing at No. 18, Tavikeock•street. After a
long and minute investigation into the regimen which
the deceased had followed, under the direction, as it ap-
peared, of Dr. Curie, living on nothing but water for
several days ; and after hearing the evidence of medi-
cal men, one of whom had opened the body, the jury
found the following special verdict :—" We find that
Henry Cordwell died from exhaustion, caused by loss of
blood from his intestinal canal, produced by natural
disease. And in complying with what tile jury believe
lo be their bounden duty in returning this verdict in
alcc.,orda.nce with the sworn evidence of the medical gen-
tletwit who have been called as witnesses, the jury cannot
refrain from expres.ing the strongest feelings of indigna-
tion and disgust at hearing it proved by the testimony of
the nurses and other persons, that the afflicted gentleman
had been cruelly exposed to a system of starvation while in.
a state of the most extreme debility during at least ten days
previous to his death, he having during. that length of time
been allowed nothing but plain cold water under the ex-
press
direction -.of his medical attendant." Mr. Wakley, in
receiving this verdict, said emphatically-7." If I bad been
one of the jury, I have no hesitation in saying that I should
wiost cordially have_ sabscribed to every word which tillsverdict contains."' 'Dr. Curie's solicitoi said he 'understood
that there were some medical practitioners on the jury, which
was unfair. Mr Wakley inquired if such was the case, and
it turned oat that-there was one gentleman who wse a che-
. mist only. The proceedings then terminated,
