COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.
(FROM OUR OLIN CORRESPONDENT.)
OCT. 24.—We have a continuation of the most splen-
did weather, no rain baying fallen for the last fortnight.
The barometer at 30.33 ; the thermometer at 56 in the
shade. Amongt our fashionable departures are—Sir
Bt-llingham and Lady Graham and family, from Norfolk-
house, for 131, Park-street, Grosvenor-square ; Major-
Gcneral Richardson, Mrs. Richardson, and Miss Richard-
son, from Mill-hill-house, for Sydney-place, Bath ; Mr.
Sergeant Shee. from Gothic-villa ; Lady Pigott, from
No. 1, Bath-buildings ; Mr. Burton, from No. 2, Bath-
buildings. The yachting season is fast drawing to a
close, but we have still some few yachts in the roads.
Captain Ponsonby's new schooner yacht proceeded to
tire westward yesterday to try her trim. The Flirt also
stood to the westward. The Vice-Commodore is at
llarriet-lodge ; Sir L. and Lady Shadwell at Egypt-
house ; P. Erle, Esq., at Beach-villa ; Sir Edward and
Lady Paget, at the Castle ; Lord Yarborough is at
Appuldurcombe ; Sir William and Lady Montagu are
are expected at Grantham•houso, and Lady Conway at
Norfolk-house. We continue to have numerous arrivals,
but the greater part of them proceed on to Ventnor for the
winter. That part of the island is more full of company
than it has been for years.
GAS.—The shops and public lamps of this town were
lighted with gas this evening, for the first time. Many
of the old'uns are very anxious about the fire-engines,
and hope they will be kept ready. A number of old
ladies will have a sleepless night—to introduce such a
dangerous thing in the town, and on a Friday, too !

O PENING OF THENEWPUSEYITE
CHURCH IN LEEDS.
The Puseyites are next week to commence a new
and forward movement in this town. It is known
that through some munificent donations of persons at a
distance, a church has been built in Leeds, of a very costly
and splendid architecture, and bearing many of the features
of the churches prior to the Reformation ; and that it is
designed as a model of the churches approved by the highest
Puseyites, and as an exhibition of the modes of worship
and of the doctrines approved by that sect of Oxford
churchmen. The name given to this church by its un-
known founder was very significant of the al-
liance between Puseyite and Romish doctrine,
being that of the church of the Holy Cross. But
the Bishop of Ripon, notwithstanding his timid caution,
positively objected to consecrate a church bearing
that name ; and it has therefore been changed for the
name of St. Saviour's church—which title to us un-
learned Dissenters, has always appeared very absurd,
and as designed either to reduce the Saviour to the rank
of the Saints, or more probably elevate the Saints to
the dignity of the Saviour.
St. Saviour's Church, however, is, according to the
official announcement, to be consecrated by " the Lord
Bishop of Ripon," " on the ensuing Feast of St. Simon
and St. Jude ;" which be it known to those who are not
learned in Saints' days, falls upon the 28th of October.
And though the Lord Bishop is to preach in the morning
a sermon which will doubtless be quite inoffensive, there is to
come on in the evening of the day the Apostle of
Anglo Catholicism or Semi-Popery, the Rev. E. B.
Pusey, D.D., of Oxford. All the world knows that
this gentleman was suspended from preaching for two
years, by the University of Oxford, for his sermon
on the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper, which made
the doctrine of the Church of England, according
to his interpretation, hardly distinguishable from the
Romish doctrine of Transubstantiation. All the
world knows, too, that Dr. Pusey was the colleague of
the Rev. Mr. Newman and the Rev. Mr. Ward, writers in
the Tracts for the Times, both of whom, with several
others of the school, have since openly left the Church
of England and joined the Church of Rome. To Evan-
gelical Dissenters of every class the doctrines held by
Dr. Pusey, and propagated by him with ardent zeal, ap-
par to contain all the essential qualities of Popery, and
to make a very near approach to an acknowledgment of
the Roman Church as the true and infallible church.
The real closeness of the connexion between Dr. Pusey's
Anglo-Catholicism and absolute Roman Catholicism, is
evident from the fact, that so many of the ablest cham-
pions of the former system have found themselves com-
, polled by their own principles to go all the way to Rome.
Several of the Evangelical clergymen in this town are
so scandalized by the bringing of Dr. Pusey, and by the
outrage which they conceive to be committed on the
Protestant feelings of the country, that they have de-
clined to attend the Bishop at the consecration of a new
church. Of course Dr. Hook is not one of this number.
We perceive from the official announcement of the
services at the consecration, that a series of services is
to be kept up for seven days, on every onel,of which (ex-
cept Sunday, Nov. 2) they are as follows :—" At 7 eat' ,
Prayers ;at half-past 10 A.M., Holy Communion and
Sermon ; at 3 P.M., Prayers ; and at half-past 7 P.M.,
Prayers and Sermon."
If the above church had been one avowedly Roman
Catholic, we should not have noticed the fact, ex-
cept as a mere article of news, however much we
might lament the spread of those doctrines. But
believing, as we do, that Puseyism is Popery in
disguise and treason to Protestantism, we feel not only
solemn regret, but that indignation which disguise
and treason naturally provoke. We regard this new
Church in the light in which we believe all Evangelical
persons in and out of the Establishment look upon it,
namely, as an edifice from which substantial Popery is
to be diffused by public and private efforts, in the strut •
cure itself, and from house to house, through the town
and the country.—Leeds Mercury.

STRANGE OCCURRENCE.—The death of a man,
named George Wedener, a pensioner, aged 60, whose bro-
thers are masters of fishing smack=, at Barking, in this county,
appears, from a statement we have received, to have taken
place at Hornchurch, under extraordinary circumstances,
implying great neglect, if not a more serious charge against
several parties connected with the transaction. It seems
that on the 20th inst. about 5 P.M. deceased was found by
Noaks, gardener to J. Bearblock, Esq., lying in a pool of
water, in the middle of the high road, near the Harrow
public-house, between Hornchurch and Romford. Finding
that he was insensible, Noaks requested Brown, the ostler
at the Harrow public-house, to suffer him to be put into one
of the sheds at that house; Brown, however, it is stated,
with an oath refused to permit him to be upon the premises.
Lambert, a police-constable, who afterwards came up, con-
veyed the man to Romford in a cart, where Inspector
Haydn procured for him the assistance of Mr. Collin,
surgeon, who pronounced him to be labouring under the
effects of extreme intoxication. Finding that the man was
at the point of death, the inspector applied to Parker, a re-
lieving officer, to get him into the Union-house. Parker,
however, refused to interfere, and at 9 o'clock in the even-
ing, the inspector, on going to the lock-up where Wedener
lay, found him a corpse. It is stated that the deceased, after
having been made drunk by some persons in the neigh-
bourhood, fell into a large -tub in which some sheep were
being washed for Mr. James Perry, of Ilford, jobber, and was
suffered to remain in the water two hours. That he was
subsequently pushed into the high road, and buckets of
water were poured upon him. An inquest has since been
held before W. H. Clifton, Esq, and after an inquiry which
lasted four hours, a verdict was returned, " Died from ex-
cessive drinking." The facts, however, have been laid be-
fore the local magistracy, who, we understand, are deter-
mined that they shall be further inquired into.—Charnsford
Chronicle.
READINGS IN NATURAL HISTORY.-THE BUTTER-
FLY.—" The life of a butterfly," says But Ton, " seems one
continued succession of changes; and it throws off one skin
only to assume another." The butterfly, then, is constantly
peeling, and the Peel butterfly is the greatest type of the
species. The little insect to which we allude commences
existence as a monopolist caterpillar, which has little holes
in its side, called stigmata ; and certainly for every hole
that has been picked in the Peel caterpillar, a certain stigma
attaches to him. From the crawling state of caterpillarism,
the Peel insect became a grub, and contrived to grub on
tolerably well for a considerable period. While in the
caterpillar state, the Peel butterfly's motions were in accord-
ance with a sort of sliding-scale; but its transition into the
condition of the grub brought somewhat of a tendency to a
fixed duty. At length the Peel butterfly, bursting from all
restrictions, is found upon the wing, and supports itself,
somehow or other, for a long while, although, as Buffon
says, " its flight is not very graceful." To make a quotation
from the same 'eminent naturalist, when speaking of the
common butterfly, it may be said of the Peel butterfly, that
" when it designs to fly to a considerable distance, it ascends
and descends alternately, going sometimes to the right, some-
times to the left, without any apparent reason." The Peel
butterfly, like most other flying creatures, has instruments
that are called feelers, and before making a move, these
feelers are generally put forth by the crafty creature. The
colours of the Peel butterfly are very variable; and it is a
remarkable fact, that the insect will often prey upon the
weaker of its own kind, which has been often the case with
the particular insect we have been specially alluding to—

A SECOND EDITION Or "Da. BERRINGTON."—A.
man standing about 5 feet ten inches high, attired in a brown
frock coat, black velvet waistcoat, and dark coloured trousers,
giving the name of "R. Stubbs," took a house within the
past few days, No. 8, Snenton-road, under the pretence of
carrying on a wholesale woollen cloth establishment. lie
called at the shop of Mr. Britton, ironmonger, Carlton-street,
and requested him to send some one down to measurethe lire-
grates for ashpans and fenders; the measures being procured,
he chose four fenders of a moderate quality, together with
fire-irons, stair-rods, knives forks, and other articles, with
bell-hangings, to the amount of nearly seven pounds in va-
lue. The goods being forwarded. and seeing joiner, gas-
fitter, paper-hanger, charwoman, • and others, no sus-
picion was excited.' Stubbs stated that he expected
his wife, who would bring the remaining part of his
household furniture, and on Monday and Tuesday would
call and pay the tradesmen's demands. Monday came,
aid to the astonishment of the simple shopkeepers, the
windows were closed, and the said Stubbs was not to be seen.
Application was made to the landlord, who stated that be
had no suspicion whatever, in consequence of the circum-
stances relating to his wife. Tuesday came, and Wednesday,
but neither cash nor appearance, which excited great suspi-
cion. The house was therefore searched, and, to the morti-
fication of the man's creditors, none of the goods purchased
were to be found ; even the gas-fittings by Mr. Dunuicliffe
had been torn from the walls in a ruthless manner. Stubbs's
honest appearance—his ordering no article that was not neat
in appearance, good in quality, and low in price—his getting
the gas laid on, walls papered (which might be considered as
totally useless), gave the whole affair an aspect of credibility,
the rottenness of which is now fullyapparent. It is fearel that
the joiner, whose name and address Stubbs gave, was only an
accomplice, as his name is unknown in the neighborhood.
His height was about 5 feet 74 inches, and th 'nun wore a
fustian jacket and trousers, with coloured waistcoat.—Not-
tingham Review.
DIRECT LONDON AND MANCHESTER RAILWAYS.
—The two companies (Rastrick's and ReminAton's)
have, it is well known, united. The two engineers, Messrs.
Rastrick and Remington, attended a meeting of the
board of the Direct London and Manchester, at 48, Moor-
gate-street, on Wednesday ; and we have good autho
city for saying they gave the directors the strongest
assurances that the whole line was surveyed, and ready
for Parliament.

POLICE INTELLIGBNCE.

GUILDHALL.
Daniel Garrett, who stands charged with colnmitting nine
robberies from railway stations, was brought before Mr. Al-
derman Hughes Hughes for final examination. ';he prisoner
looked pale and less at ease than before. He hati been al-
ready committed on seven charges of felony.
Mr. Clarkson said he had a little evidence to add in one
case, that of stealing a black portmanteau with its con-
tents, value 201., the property of Mr. Daniel, of Bath, who
was a passenger on the Great Western Railway, on the 29th
of July.
Collard, the officer employed to superintend the railway
police, produced a pair of Wellington boots, which he took
from the prisoner's feet at the last examination.
Mr. Daniel identified them as part of the contents of his
portmanteau. A further portion was found at the prisoner's
lodging.
The depositions were read and signed, and the prisoner was
committed on this charge.
The depositions, as originally taken, respecting the stealing
of Mr. Prance's writing case, and upon which Garrett is to be
indicted jointly with Maynard, the estate agent, were then
read over to the witnesses, and
Mr. Alderman HUGHES HUGHES committed the prisoner
on this charge.
Mr. Nash, clerk to Messrs. Swain and Co., the solicitors for
the prosecution, in reply to a question, stated that some pro-
perty supposed to have been stolen had not vet been claimed.
Mr. Clarkson applied for a certificate, allowing the expenses
already incurred.
Mr. Alderman HUGHES HUGHES said it was a case of the
utmost possible importance to the public, and therefore he
would grant the application.
The book-keeper at the Blossoms Inn appeared to answ( r a
complaint for not delivering five packages of fruit which
arrived at his inn, addressed to Edwin Price, No. 8, Three
Dagger-court, Cripplegate, within 24 hours after their arrival.
It appeared that the goods were sent by a van in due
time, but the driver had directions not to deliver them until
he had the innkeeper's demand for carriage, &c., 225,
first placed in his hand. The carman obeyed his order.
Price claimed that the goods should be first delivered, but
exhibited the 225., and offered to stake the money in the,
hands of the nearest publican ; but the carman was im-
moveable, and drove off with the goods.
The book-keeper claimed the right to hold goods for the
carriage due in respect to them.
Mr. Alderman WOOD said it was necessary that he should
remove a misunderstanding upon the point. To prevent
frauds, and for the protection of the public, the law required
that the goods should be delivered within a certain time at
all events, and whether the carriage and porterage were paid
or refused. But the statute gave ample protection to the
innkeeper, for it provided that if a person received the goods
and refused to pay the proper charges, a warrant might be
forthwith issued by a magistrate, to bring the party before
him, and saddle him with costs for loss of time. He there-
fore fined the defendant 20s. for non-delivery.
WORSHIP-STREET.
CRUEL CASE OF DESERTION.—James Panther, a middle-
aged man of respectable appearance, was placed at the bar,
before Mr. Broughton, charged, at the instance of the parish
authorities of St. Luke, with having deserted his wife and
five children, who had been for upwards of two years charge-
able to that parish.
Messrs. Blake and Gregg, the overseers, attended in sup-
port of the complaint, and said that they were instructed to
prosecute the prisoner to the utmost extentas a more heart-
less and aggravated case had never come under their cogni-
sance.
The prisoner's wife, a woman of very lady-like address
and deportment, stated that her husband had for a length
of time held a commercial appointment in the city, at
a salary of 2001. per annum, and that they had lived
together in comfort and happiness until about two
years and a half ago, when she discovered that
he had formed a clandestine intimacy with a woman
of abandoned character. About a week after the fact had
come to her knowledge, the prisoner suddenly left home
under the pretence of being called into the country upon ur-
gent business, and she had never since seen or heard of him
until they met that day in Court. Having no friends to
apply to for assistance, herself and children were reduced to
the utmost distress; and they were at length reluctantly
compelled to throw themselves upon the parish, by which
they had been entirely supported for the last two years.
Charles Garner, a parish beadle, stated that Since the
prisoner had absconded every effort had been made to track
his retreat, but without success, until about a week ago,
when it was ascertained that he had established himself in
business at Exeter, where he was living under the assumed
name of Brown, in cohabitation with the woman with whom
he had eloped. Witness accordingly proceeded to that
place with a warrant for his apprehension, and on his ar-
rival was directed to a well-stocked mercer's shop, with the
name "Brown" inscribed over the front; and after waiting
some time the prisoner made his appearance with a quantity
of goods he had just purchased. The witness immediately
addressed him by his real name, and charged him with
abandoning his wife and children in London ; but the pri-
soner, with affected indignation, declared that he was mis-
taken, as he had been in business in Exeter for many years,
and threatened hies with the severest consequences if he
ventured to act upon the false information he had received.
Witness, however, was so positive as to his identity, that ho
at once took the prisoner into custody, and brought him to
town, when he was immediately recognised as the person who
had absconded.
In answer to the charge, the prisoner said that when he
left home it was his full intention to return to his wife and
family as soon as possible, but having been seized in the
country with a rheumatic fever, he was reduced to such a
state of destitution, that he had not the means of carrying
out his design. He was now both ready and willing to enter
into an arrangment to relieve the parish of the burden of sup-
porting his family, and would defray all the expenses that
had been incurred in their behalf.
Mr. BROUGHTON said that a more heartless and profligate
case of desertion had never come before him, and ho
should be wanting in his duty to the public if he did not
visit it with adequate punishment. He should, therefore,
convict the prisoner of being an idle and disorderly person,
and commit bins forthwith to the house of Correction for
one month's hard labour, and at the expiration of that period,
the parish authorities might still proceed against him for
the amount of their claims.
THAMES.
A POLITICIAN.—Paddy Donnelly, a broad-shouldered,
big-featured, son of the sod, who, though 35 years in this
country, is quite as vivid in his political feelings, as when
recitins imbutus, was charged wills assaulting police-con-
stable Mumford, 207 C, whilst in the execution of his duty.
Mumford stated that about ten o'clock on the previous
night, as he was going through Cannon-street, St. George's
in the East, he heard cries of " Murder," " Police," which,
on coming up, he found proceeded from the prisoner. He
said, " I am a constable ; what do
,you want ?" But the
prisoner continued his cry, and created such a disturbance
that witness was compelled to take him to the station. house.
On arriving there, the prisoner, without any provocation,
gave him a blow in the mouth, which cut his lip, and made
him look down his nose, as if he had stolen a hammer, say-
ing " Take that, you -- Orangeman."
Mr. BALLANTINE—Why, Mumford, I think you're an
Englishman ?
Mumford—l am, your Worship
Mr. BALLANTINE—Then it is not likely that you'd indulge
in any of these sjlly disturbances.
Donelly—Faith then did he, your Worship. Arrah, was'nt
it himself that made me cry murder? There, this is the way
of it. Him and me had some little talk about politics, when
he took something amiss, and began to pummel me right and
left. May be I had no right to cry out murder afther I
was kilt.
Mr. BALLA:Tr-INF.—If you are well advised, Mr. Donelly,
you'll abstain from political discussions. The subject is rather
-too exciting for the generality of your countrymen.
Donelly—l had the best of the argument, and that's the
raison he struck me. Shure any one that was kilt that way
would cry out murder
Mr. BALLANTINE—I cannot believe your statement. As I
observed before, Mumford is not aware of the silly disturb-
ance to which you allude, and for the assault on the con-
stable I shall send S.'ou to the House of Correction for four-
teen days.
Paddy was led from the dock with the conscious dignity
of a political martyr who is proud to suffer from the avowal
of his opinion.
A CRIMPING COMMITTEE.— William Fieldgate, A lodging-
house keeper for sailors, and a dealer in their advance notes,
was charged with stealing a suit of clothes, the property of
a Jersey lad. The case, in all its phases, showed the impo-
sitions to which seamen are at present liable from the par-
ties with whom they have to deal during their short so-
journs ashore.
It appeared from the evidence, that on Saturday three
weeks the prosecutor left the Jersey Lass, and went to lodge

weeks and two' days, during which time he gave the pri-
'‘thict-hEtahsetptralsoilniee•rs
toner the whole balance of his wages, amounting to 4/. 17s. 6d.,
and an advance note for 21. 55., which he received on joining
another vessel called the Cumberland. When his bag was
sent on board the Cumberland, he missed the suit of clothes
for which the prisoner had paid 4s. 6d. out of the money ad-
vanced by the prosecutor. He asked the prisoner for them
on Sunday, when the latter said he had pawned them for
145., alleging that the 4/. 17s. 6d. cash, and the advance note
for 2!. 55., did not make them square as to the clothes, diet,
and lodging. On Thursday evening again the prosecutor de-
manded his clothes, but the prisoner, who was standing at
his door, which was elevated by two steps, gave him a kick
in the mouth. He was then given to a constable on the pre-
sent charge.
Mr. Pelham, who appeared for the defence, said the pro-
secutor had given his client permission to pledge the clothes
for a balance due for board and lodging, as well as for cub
advanced at different times.
This, however, was denied by the prosecutor, who said he
never gave bins leave to pawn the articles, nor had he received
any cash.
Mr. Pelham said if, as he would call evidence to prove, his
client had taken the clothes, the case was the same as if a
landlord distrained for rent.
Mr. BACIANTINE—Not exactly, for in this case your client
has broken bulk and pawned the articles. In any case which
looks like a felony, where these lodging-house keepers are
concerned, I shall certainly send it for trial. A law will soon
come into operation which will act as some check upon them,
by compelling them to take out licences.
. The fact of pawning was fully proved against the prisoner,
who was committed for trial ; Mr. Ballantine observing that
there was one peculiarity connected with it, namely, that as
the prosecuter, being a witness, could not join his ship, the
advance note became valueless.
The ship's husband applied to know whether lie could
not have the prosecuter committed to hard labour for thirty
days for not joining the Cumberland, but the idea was
scouted.
The tailor who sold the clothes (not worth 2/.) for 41. 6e.
then presented himself, and asked to have evidence heard for
the prisoner; but Mr. Ballantine told bins a jury must deter-
mine the merits of the case.

The prisoner was then removed, with permission to put in

ACCIDENT ON THE RICHMOND RAILWAY.-011
Wednesday afternoon, about two o'clock, a lad employed on
the works of the Richmond railway, at Wandsworth, had one
of his ancles crushed in a frightful manner by one of the
wheels of a truck slipping off the rail. He was immediately
laid upon some straw, at the bottom of a chaise-cart, and
driven to Guy's Hospital.
DUEL. AT GOTTINGEN.—A letter from Gottingen,
of Oct. 14, states that, in consequence of some political dis-
cussion, a duel was lately fought with pistols between Baron
de Foellick, a lieutenant in a foot regiment quartered there,
\
and Dr.Bussenius, one of the ablest writers in Hanover• The
latter gentleman was shot through the head, and died almost
immediately. His adversary was arrested and cashiered, and
is to be tried criminally for his conduct.
