Amongst these may be reckoned Low Church Bishops
or Archbishops, Deans and Chapters, Poor-law
Commissioners and Guardians—and, it would seem
also, Wesleyan Missionaries. These, like the rest of
animated nature, have particular descriptions of vermin
which prey on each; and which, in journalist entomo-
logy, are classified under appropriate appellations—as
" Catholicus," "Churchman, "Master ofArts,""Rate-
payer," &c. &c. There are individuals, however, of
more sensitive minds than can be supposed in any of
the above categories ; who are not class 'hardened
against censure ; and to whom the position of dangling
gibbetted in the columns of the Times (for example)
is truly formidable. We would venture, therefore,
to recommend (except, of course, in the case of pre •
lates or poor-law guardians) that such individuals
should be spared from figuring in this way, when
milder treatment might be sufficient; and that, as
our leading Contemporary has a giant's strength, so
it should exercise that strength with the bonhommie
which, notwithstanding the dreadful apprehensions
we were taught to entertain in our nurseries, we
have every reason to regard as rather a giant-like
characteristic.
STANDARD.—The Soult• Guizot Ministry has
completed the fourth year of its existence. It would
be no novel remark, either in the way of wonderment
or praise, to say that the present French Cabinet is
the longest in duration of any that has been formed
since 1830. Such compliment was paid to the states-
men composing this Administration last year, and
even with no slight emphasis the year preceding.
But we can ray now, confidently, that which, at
the periods referred to, we could only utter in
hope, that we see no likelihood of change,
within any given period of time, so far as we may
be allowed to look forward to, without being open to
the charge of rash speculation in the composition
of the administration of France. Our hope in
the stability of the French Cabinet rests upon
three distinct grounds. Firstly, upon the policy
which they are engaged in perfecting; secondly,
upon the success which has hitherto crowned their
measures ; and, thirdly, upon the character of
the statesmen who form the Administration.
The policy which actuates the Statesmen, in
whose hands are the destinies of France, has lately
received an exposition from the mouth of his Majesty
Louis Philippe, in his replies to the addresses from
Portsmouth, London, and Dover. It is peace with
Europe, guaranteed by the cordial understanding of
Great Britain and France, and we need hardly add,
that so long as the two great Constitutional Govern-
ments of the west are united, war in Europeja impos-
sible. We believe that the sentiment of peace is in the
hearts of the great majority ofAhe.French people, as
we know it to animate those of our own. We be-
lieve so, because we see the people of France in a state
of unexampled prosperity. We believe it, because the
whole country is in such a state of repose, that w
have almost forgotten that there were such things as
emeutes, that previous to the accession of the present
Ministry were the familiar expression' of ceaseless
discontents. And we believe it the more firmly, be.
cause we see France, through the enterprising spirit of
her Government, entering that wide field of corn- '

DEATH OF SIR THOMAS KIRKPATRICK, SHERIFF
OF DUMFRIESSHIRE.-Sir Thomas Kirkpatrick, Bart.,
of Closeburn, died at his residence of Capenoch, on
Monday evening last, after a few hours' illness. Sir
Thomas was sheriff of the-county of Dumfries for thirty-
three years. During all that long period of difficult
official duty, in the dispensation of justice, it is not too
much to say that not the remotest shadow of a stain
ever rested on his spotless name. One feeling of pro-

HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO THE MARQUIS Of

and his Royal Highness Prince Albert to the Marquis
of Exeter, at Burleigh House, is expected to take place
in the course of next wed,. Tuesday, the sth proximo,
is the day which has been named for the departure of the
Court from 'Windsor ; but we believe the precise period
has not yet been determined upon by tke Queen. It is
understood that the Court will be absent from the

arrival within a few miles of the domains of the Mar-

Tn. GRESHAM LECTURES.—Saturday next, being
the first day of Michaelmas Term, the usual lectures, pur-
suant to the will of Sir Thomas Gresham, will be de-
livered in the theatre of Gresham College, during the
month of November, on. the following subjects :—Astro-

lectures will be delivered at twelve o'clock, in Latin ; and
at one in English. The music lectures, as usual, at

EASTBOURNE.—On Friday evening at a public
meeting of the inhabitants of Eastbourne, it ?vas decided
that a mechanics' institution should be established in
this place ; and it was announced that sixty-two persons
had enrolled their names as members of such institu-
tion, and that the principal gentry were willing to come
forward and support it. Though Eastbourne has for a
long time occupied a low place in the scale of society, it
is hoped that this is a steppingstone for its elevation to a
higher and more congenial position ; and that is only a
foretaste of good things for the inhabitants of this de-
lightful watering place.—gfrighten Guardian.
DEATH or A MISER.—On Saturday week a very
old inhabitant of this town (Mr. Thomas Ruxton) die
worth some 10,000/. He had lived alone for many years,
denying hiniself every comfort, and preparing what food
be did indulge in himself. His property, under a will
made six years ago, goes to his sister's children, but
they are not to be found. j.lnformation of his death has,
however, been sent to Ireland, in which country the old
man was born.---,Brighton paper.
EXTRAORDINARY MODE OF SUICIDE FROM DISEASE
AND DESTITUTION.—On Tuesday Mr. Baker, jug., held
an inquest at the Three Compasses, Brick-lane, Spital-
fieldS, on the body of George Dixon, aged thiFty-six,
hate
,pitman at a house in Broad-street, City. Frederick
Grover, of 5, Old Montague-street, Whitechapel, said
deceased and his wife resided in the same house, and
were in very destitute circumstances, owing to his haviag
disease of the lungs, which prevented him from working.
On Thursday afternoon deceased came into witness's
room in a wild state, and drank with avidity four cups
of tea, and whilst witness was getting him some more,
be seized a long knife from off the table, and thrust it
down his throat and gullet, so far that only part of the
handle protruded from the mouth. Witness immediately
struck deceased's hand from the haft of the knife, arid
pulled it from his throat, upon which deceased exclaimed,
" 1 am determined to do it, and may as well do it first as
last." Mr. Foster, the parish surgeon, was called in,
but, despite his efforts, deceased died in three hours af-
terwards. Mr. Foster spoke to deceased's great destitu-
tion, and said that he died from the combined effects of
the wound in the throat, causing internal hemorrhage,
and inflammation of the lungs. Verdict—" Temporary
insanity."
INCENDIARISK IN BEDFORDSHIRE.—On Sunday
night, in the neighbourhood of Crowfield, flames were
discovered in a barn on the farm of Mr. John Hall, of
Wharley-end. The building was detached from the
stack-yard, or the entire homestead must have been con-
sumed, as there was a smart wind, and no water could be
had. A large body of the labourers were present, but
they could render no service, the flames having com-
pletely encircled the building, which, together with its
contents, the produce of eleven acres of wheat, beside a
quantity of beans, was destroyed. From the isolated
position of the barn, and the tire having broken out full
24 hours after any person having entered it, it appears to
have been the act of an incendiary, though at present no
suspicion is attached to "any person in particular. The
owner of the property, in common with the majority of
the priticipal farmers in the parish, pays the average
rate of wages, Bs. a week, and in many instances the
practice of yearly hiring obtains, but since the close of
the harvest a large number of supernumerary hands
have been discharged, and these men are wandering
about the district without visible means of subsistence.
Poaching and petty robbery are becoming very prevalent
in this. district.
AN OLD BlRD.—There is ;tithe possession of one
of our 01,1 Dutch families of this city, a parrot known
to be 82 years old. This bird is now blind, but, not-
withstanding that, it can walk to any part of the house
ivithout difficulty, and recognises the different members
of the family by their footsteps. It whistles tunes with
great exactness, and is quite fond of sacred music. We
are informed that in early life this bird, like most of its
Species, was a little wild, and a good deal given to pro-
fane swearing, but for some time it has laid aside this
habit, and, save occasional fits of viciousness, the out-
breakings of the inner Adam, is a staid, reputable, and
exemplary bird, an honour to the family in which it was
reared, and an example to the younger members within
the reach of its influence.-44/bany Atlas.

sent out to Jamaica, as a specimen, as many of the kind
are likely to be required. The pilaster supports are of
Fast-iron, on which are fixed the frame-roof, of wrought

strength with simplicity of arrangement ; the whole is

YIELD or CROPS IN SOUTH WALES.—We have
not had so good a harvest for years. Our wheat this
harvest reaches 641bs. a bushel, which we believe is about
the average weight in Essex and the best wheat-growing
counties in England.— Welshman.

third -ground of our hope is the character of
the statesmen who form the Administration. They
are a united Cabinet ; they have long toiled together ;
they have battled and they have won ; they have en-
dured no shameful defeats ; and they each stand per-
sonally high. While all have been victorious, each
has had his individual triumphs. Marshal Soult is a
great administrator; by his hands the army has been
re-organised. Of M. Guizot less may be said than of
another man, for his fame is European. M. Duchatel,
the Minister of the Interior, is distinguished for the
solidity of his understanding, and is every day rising
in debating qualities. M. de Villemain is an accom-
plished debater of the very first class ; upon him has
devolved the delicate task of upholding the independ-
ence of the University, without lessening the just
authority of the clergy in the eyes of the people. The
Minister of Finance, the Minister of Public Works, and
the Minister of Justice, have severally distinguished
themselves in their departments. To such men the Op-
position have none of any weight to oppose, but then
the Opposition are split into factious sections, soldered
together for the moment, and for a temporary pur-
pose, while the Cabinet are united heart and hand.
It was owing to this conscious inferiority of talent,
to the impossibility of finding a man capable of
combatting M. Guizot, that they resorted last
session to the disgraceful attempt to cry him
down, and only afforded their mighty antagonist
an occasion for covering himself with fresh glory,
as a man whose courage was equal to his unrivalled
oratory. Thus, whether we look to the mission of the
Cabinet, that mission of peace and civilisation to
which the king has attached the glory of his reign,
or take a retrospective view of the struggles and
triumphs of the administration ; or look at the men
themselves, individually or as a Government; or
rather when we take in the whole combination, no
matter how rapidly or crudely, we are forced to the
irresistible conclusion that the French cabinet gives
more evidence of stability, with power to carry out
its views, than it did at any period during the four
previous years of its honourable existence.

The insolvent, a schoolmaster, late of Norwood, now
of 15, Blissett-street, Greenwich, applied to-day for his
interim order, but was opposed by Mr. Duffield, a cre-
ditor for 2251., on the ground of his having furnished an
incorrect schedule.

The creditor having made his statement relative to his
own debt,
Mr. Commissioner EVANS said he should defer the
matter to a future day. Had Mr. Duffield any further
objection at that time ? Mr. Duffield said there was one
circumstance which he felt bound to mention to his
Honour. The insolvent to his (Mr. Duffield's) certain
knowledge had borrowed a sum of 701. from a poor
woman, without her husband's sanction, and that sum
was not placed in the schedule.
Mr. Commissioner EVANS (to the petitioner)—l3 the
fact so? Did you borrow 701. from this woman? I did,
your Honour. _

Mr. Commissioner EVANS—How comes it that you
have not mentioned it among your other debts? Because
she forgave it me.
Mr. Commissioner EVANS—Was her husband aware
of it? No; it was her own private property.
Mr. Commissioner EVANS—A married woman has no
private property. The sum must be added.
The insolvent's solicitor was going to speak; but
Mr. Commissioner EVANS said he would hear no more.
Here was an insolvent in an amount of 3,4391 without
an available shilling to pay his creditors, and the very
