SUMMARY OF NE-1

AND
Vat Ur Optntott.

" Who runs may read."

FOR.IZZGYZ,

On Sunday Louis Philippe reviewed the troops in the
garrison at Paris. He was accompanied by the Duke de
Nemours, the Duke de Montpensier, Marshal Soult, and
a brilliant staff. The Queen, Princesses, and Court,
were also present.
Most of the Paris papers notice the meeting of the
Missionary Society held at Exeter-hall last week. It, of
course, affords the opposition journals little satisfaction.
The National, which burlesques the proceedings, calls the
President " le sage Calling Eurdley Smith," and the Con-
stitutionnel simply " Sir Calling- Eardley."
The Monitear announces that Admiral Parseval Des-
chesnes has been nominated a Grand Officer of the Legion
of Honour, and that the three ships of war which were
detached from his fleet, and placed under the command
of the Prince de Joinville, had been ordered to rejoin
the fleet of Admiral Parseval Deschenes immediately.
The Constautionuel states that the French Govern-
ment was resolved to terminate the war with Morocco at
any price, and that the Duke of Glucksberg had been
furnished with positive instructions to that effect.
The private correspondence of the Toulonnais from
Algiers, of the 20th of Sept., states that fears are enter-
tained of an outbreak of the Kabyles on the Tunis fron-
tiers of Algeria, who, taking advantage of the absence of
so large a portion of the army on the frontiers of Mo-
rocco, begin to threaten the French possessions.
The Journal of the Two Sicilies of the 17th September
has the following paragraph :—" His Excellency the
Duke de Montebello, Ambassador of his Majesty the
King of the French at our Court, had the honour to
present to his Majesty our King, on the sth, in a private
audience, a letter, whereby his august Sovereign demands
of his Majesty the hand of her Royal Highness Princess
Caroline Augusta of Salerno for his Royal Highness the
Puke d'Aumale. Similar letters, containing the same
_t_i_einand on the part of her Majesty the Queen of the
;French, were presented on the same day by his Excel-
leryo their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess
(seSaclean, and to her Royal llighness their daughter.
. an announce that the marriage contract has been signed."
A. letter from the frontier of Italy, published in the
d,turg Gazette of the 25th, states that the Duke
umale's marriage with the Princess of Salerno will
take place in two months, and that Austria will give her
s °Pa Highness a marriage portion of 200,000 florins,
ecause her mother is the Emperor's sister.
A Madrid letter of the 23d has the subjoined post-
script :" Two detonations, the cause of which is as yet
unknown, have just been heard in the direction of the
Alcala-street. Crowds of people are hastening to the
!pot. Unto the moment of closing this letter it has been
impossible to procure authentic information as to what is
Probably but an accident. This capital is perfectly quiet."
We copy the following from the Cologne Gazette of
the 27th of September :—" Frontiers of Turkey, Sept.
I G.—There is now no doubt that the revolt of the poli-
tical convicts of Telaga was produced by despair. When
Prince Bubesco arrived, several threw themselves on
their knees, imploring mercy. But the Prince repelled
them, and even declared to some that they had got off
too easily. On this the revolt broke out. Thirteen
convicts and five soldiers were killed, and twelve se-
riously wounded. The fate of the convicts has now be-
come still worse. They are obliged to paSs their nights
in_ the salt mines. It is said that the Bayard Descheu
has made disclosures which will gravely compromise
Prince Milosch."

MAW .Na POLICE.
A meagre shabby-looking fellow, in a dark green
coat, who stated his name to be Edward Roberts, was
brought before Sir P. Laurie at the Mansion-house, in
the custody of John Mitchell, City policeman 579,
charged with having stolen a clock, value 41. 10s., in the
house of Mr. Simpson, licensed victualler, in Fenchurch-
street. The prisoner confessed the theft, but as several
other clock robberies have been recently committed, Sir
Peter remanded him to give time for further inquiries.
In the case of Maria King, who was committed for four-
teen days for breaking windows, Sir Peter said that the
prisoner should only have the smallest amount of diet
consistent with the preservation of life, as he was deter-
mined persons should not get fat by window-breaking.
At Guildhall, William Ransom, the conductor of one
of Meredith's Bayswater omnibuses, was adjudged to be
imprisoned for one month for misbehaviour in misdirect-
ing a lady as to the route of a rival omnibus, lately started
by a Mr. Norton, and which there seems to be a combi-
nation to run off the road.
Amongst the charges brought before Mr. Henry
at Lambeth-street, was one against a middle-aged
female, named Margaret Healey, for stealing a
piece of ham of the value of fourteenpence, from
the shop-window of Mr. James Jenkins, a cheese-
monger, in the Mile-end-road. The accused, who,
from her address and manners, it was evident had
seen better days, declared she had committed the act in
order to ensure a shelter for the night. She had, she
said, been turned out of the workhouse of the parish of
St. George's, Hanover-square, about one o'clock on the
Saturday, without a single farthing in her possession
and after wandering about she scarcely knew where, a n
being without the means of procuring a morsel of
bread, or a shelter for the night, she had, in a
moment of despair, determined to commit some act
It
for which she might be taken into custody.
appeared that the defendant was a well-educated and
accomplished woman, and had lived in several families
of distinction in the capacity of travelling companion,
but that fallirg into poverty, she had been ban-
died about from the parish-officers of St. George's
to the police-officers of Marlborough street until on one
occasion she had fainted in the street from exhaustion.
The magistrate directed Cooke, one of the officers, to
procure her a decent lodging in the neighbourhood and
see that she was provided with what was necessary,
while he opened a communication with the parties in
whose service she had formerly lived.
At the Thames-office, Thomas Sleeman, a wheel-
wright, and John Sharp, a sackmaker, in the employ of
Mr. Wright, coal merchant, at Ratcliff-cross, were
brought before Mr. Broderip on a charge of causing the
death of a girl named Alan Conolly. The deceased and
her sister were stationed near Mr. Wright's coal wharf,
each with a basket of fruit before them on the ground,
and the prisoners commenced backing a large coal
waggon, to which no horses were attached, along a de-
clivity leading to the wharf. They called out to the
girls to get out of the way or they would be run over.
The deceased stooped to pick up her basket of fruit,
and at the same moment the waggon started down
the incline at full speed, and overpowered the men,
who were unable to stop it. The wheel caught the
deceased, and she was crushed in a frightful manner
between the waggon and the post. As there appeared
to be no doubt but that the unfortunate occurrence
was purely accidental, the prisoners were discharged
on entering into their own recognisances to appear on
Monday,
John Farrell was charged, at Clerkenwell, with cutting
and wounding Henry Bar ; and he was further charged,
in company with Patrick Burke, John Milen, and Mary
Milen, with violently assaulting John Russell, and with
assaulting police-constables 275, 398,, and 421 of the N
division. It appeared that the defendants, who were all
Irish, set upon a young Englishman, named Russell,
when Bar, interfering, was knocked down and kicked;
and the police-constables, whointerfered to keep the peace,
were also assaulted. Mr. Combes sentenced the priso-
ners, in default of payment of fines, Farrell to a month's
imprisonment, Burke to three weeke, , and the two
-Mile na each to one week's imprisonment in 'the House
of Correction.
.. John Tulloch was remanded from the Insolvent Court
for eight months, for a vexatious defence to an action.

, By direction or the Commissioners of Woods and
summitorests, workmen have began to erect a pillar upon the
,Ihart,- n of the western portion of Grosvenor-gate, Hyde
. llu corner, which is intended for the reception of
an
iminated clock. The clock will have two dials—viz.,
one facing Ryde-park, and the other fronting Grosvenor-
place.. A further improvement is in contemplation, that
of removing the remainder of the brick wall which is
st!inding between A!bert-gate and Kensington, and sub-
stituting iron palisades. ' Lord Pantnure, father of the Right Hon. Fox Maul?,
11. P., has signified it as his desire to subscribe the muni-
ficent sum of 500/. towards the triumphal arch proposed
to be erected at Dundee, to commemorate the visit of her
Majesty and her illustrious Consort. The loyal
inha-
bitants of that prosperous town have agreed upon an
arch, as was the case with the Perth people, when the
Queen visited that ancient city in 1842.
On Saturday, Mr. Samuel Gray was, on application tia
the Queen's Beech Chamber of Dublin, admitted to bail

—the Crown offering no opposition—on finding bail,
himself in 1,0001., and two sureties of 2001. each.
Upwards of one hundred tons of hay and straw have
been shipped from Limerick to Liverpool in the course of
last week.

The projected railway from Derry to Coleraine in-
volves the reclamation from the sea of waste land, whose
estimated value is 800,0001., which will be double the
estimated expense.
So great is the demand for Irish railway shares, that
tea thousand more than could be given were solicited for
the Belfast and Ballimena line.

Yesterday, according to annual custom, meetings took
place in the various parishes in the metropolis for the
purpose of nominating persons to- fill the office of over-
seers for the year, passing the churchwardens' accounts,
and on other parochial business. In St. George the
Martyr, Southwark, a long discussion took place.
The Bishop of Winchester held his annual visitation,
at the Cathedral, on Friday morning. A numerous
body of the clergy were present. After the customary
sermon a very lengthened charge to the clergy of the
diocese was delivered by the Rev. Chancellor Dealtrey.
The Government contract for Irish provisions has
been taken principally by Limerick houses ; the price is
255. per cwt. for pork, and 245. for beef.
The report of an extensive Brevet is again circulated,
but we have reason to believe on no good authority.
A new regulation respecting the admission of pupils
to Eton, and which has been long contemplated, has now
been determined upon ; a notice having just been issued
by the Rev. Dr. Hawtrey-, the head master, that after
Easter next he will not admit any boy to the school who
shall have completed his fourteenth year.

ROYAL SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—FIRE OF
LONDON.—We see that the last six nights of this splendid
spectacle are announced. As it will be then taken down
to prepare for the new subject of next season, we recom-
mend all who have not seen it to pay it a visit.
RAILWAYS IN CORNWALL.—Considerable excite-
mment exists in Falmouth, and throughout the county
of Cornwall, on the subject of the proposed railway or
railways in that district. One party supports the line
by Ply mouth, to which, it is said, the Great Western
Railway Company will subscribe 150,0001., while another
is in favour of a direct line from Exeter to Falmouth, in
connexion with the proposed extension of the South.
Western Railway. We hope that between the two the
county will not suffer.—Railway Record.
CITY OP LONDON GENBRAL PENSION SOCIETY.—
Yesterday the annual general meeting of the supporters
of the above Society, founded for providing permanent
relief for decayed artisans, mechanics, manufacturers,
tradesmen, and the widows of such persons, was held at
the offices in Coleman-street, City. The chair was
taken by John Pearson Hayward, Esq. From the re-
port of the Board of Directors, read by Mr. Richardson,
the Secretary, it appeared that since the last anniversary
her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge had been
added to the list of patronesses. At the date of the pre-
vious report the number of pensioners on the funds was
59, to which 12 had been added by subsequent elections,
and the present numbdr, deducting deaths, sixty. The
Archbishops of Canterbury and York, and the Bishop
of London, Trustees of the Cholmondeley Charity, had
presented the Society with 501. ; Mrs. Thwaites, 501. ;
the Marquis of Clanricarde,2s/., in addition to a previous
donation of 50/. ; the Duke of Buccleucb, 501., his Grace
having previously given sums amounting altogether to
1504 The directors continued to receive 101. per annum
from the Queen Dowager, and had obtained munificent
donations from several persons of distinction, including
the Marquis of Bristol, the Earls of Haddington, Cla-
rendon, and Aberdeen, the Lord Viscount Beresford, &c.
The receipts amounted to 1,8201., being 704 more than
the previous year, and the expenditure left a balance in
favour of the Society of 2691. The officers for the en-
suing year were then elected, and the meeting separated.
THE FOREIGN MAILS.—The following notice was
issued yesterday, at the General Post-office, St. Martin's-
le-Grand, and the branch offices :—" The next mails for
Madeira, the West Indies, Mexico, Honduras, Havannah,
St. Jago de Cuba, Venezuela, &c., will be made up on
Wednesday morning, the 2d of October (to-morrow),
and be forwarded by the Dee steamer, via Southampton.
For Brazils and Buenos Ayres on the morning of the
2d of October, by Her Majesty's brig Express, via Fal-
mouth. For Vigo, Oporto, Lisbon, Cadiz, and Gibraltar,
and for Malta, Greece, the lonian Islands, Egypt, India,
Hong-Kong, and China, on Thursday morning, the 3d
of October, by the Oriental steamer, via Southampton.

America, Bermuda, and the United States, in the eve-
ning of the 3d of October, by the Acadia steamer, via
Liverpool, Halifax, and Boston.
BIRTH EXTRAORDINART.-011 Sunday last, a
most extraordinary occurrence took place at the station-
house, in Bow-street. About half-past eight o'clock in
the morning, a female, evidently in an advanced state of
pregnancy, was brought to the station-house by two
other females, who stated that, expecting she would be
taken with the pains of labour, they had brought her
there to be safe. She had lived in Vere-street, Clare-
market, till lately, when she had been turned out of her
lodgings, and had since resided with a friend in New-
castle-court, Strand, but, singular to state under the cir-
cumstances, had been in the streets, houseless, and a
wanderer, the whole of the previous night (Saturday).
It being evident that she was near delivery, Mr. Boswood,
relieving officer of the Strand Union, was fetched from
the Strand Union-office, opposite, and he immediately
dispatched a messenger for Mr. Lovett, of Vere street,
Clare-market, one of the surgeons of the Strand Union,
who promptly came. The end of the matter was that,
soon after his arrival, the poor woman was safely de-
livered of a fine female child in the charge-room of the
station 1 Every assistance that could possibly be ren-
dered to her was afforded by Mr. Sandrock and his wife.
At three o'clock in the afternoon she was removed from
the novel situation in the charge-room to the Strand
Union, a covered stretcher, provided with every com-
fort, being procured.
ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS AT WOOLWICH.—Some

time since, it was announced that gardens on the
plan of the Rosherville Gardens at Gravesend, were to
be laid out at Woolwich. The site selected appears cut
out by nature for such a purpose. It is the hanging
wood, and the deep valley and adjacent grounds directly
south of the landing place at Charlton-pier, and is the
property of Sir Thomas Wilson. It is proposed to raise
15,0001. for the speculation, in shares of 51. each.
DEATH FROM EXCITEMENT AND ATTEMPTED
SUlClDE.—Yesterday, at three o'clock, Mr. Higgs held
an inquest at the Red Lion, Princess-street, Westminster,
on the body of Samuel Cotter, aged forty-four, one of the
brokers and appraisers of the Insolvent Debtors' Court.
It appeared that deceased resided at 50, Prospect-place,
St. George's-road, and for the last three months had been
subject to determination of blood to the head, and conse-
quent cerebral excitement, resulting, according to rumour,
from the change in the Insolvent Court effected by Lord
Brougham's Bill. On Wednesday morning last the
groom of Mr. Colombel, surgeon, of Canterbury-place,
Lambeth, found deceased at the back of some stables, in
Alfred-place, Hercules-buildings, with a razor in his
hand, and bleeding from a wound in the throat. The
groom took the razor from him, and having called
Mr. Colombel and the police, the wound uas
dressed by the former, and by the latter tho de-
ceased was conveyed to the Westminster Hospital. Mr.
Priest, the house surgeon, said deceased was admitted in
a state of insensibility, with a wound in the throat four
inches long, and a quarter of an inch in depth, dividing
the external jugular vein. After some hours he was at-
tacked by delirium tremens, andcontinued delirious until
Friday morning. He then rallied for a few hours, but
subsequently sank into a comotose state, and died on
Saturday morning. A post niortem examination showed
old and recent inflammation of the membranes of the
brain, and three ounces and a half of serum and blood
effused between the dura mater and the arachnoid mem-
brane, caused by great excitement. The effusion was
the immediate cause of death, but the effusion was acce-

lerated by the wound in the throat. 'Verdict, " Died
from inflammation of the brain, having, whilst labouring
under its effects, inflicted a wound in the throat."

RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—Last Sunday night, as a
gentleman was waiting for the up-train on the Eastern
Counties Railway, which arrives at Ponder's-end, be-
tween eight and nine o'clock P.M., he fell from the plat-
form at Ponder's-end the moment the train arrived, and
would have been killed by the train, which was still on
the motion, had he not been caught by two persons, who
held him rmly grasped until the engine stopped. Had
he made the slightest motion death would have been
inevitable. When released from his perilous situation,
he was so terrified that he could scarcely speak. He
attributed the accident to another gentleman having put
his umbrella before him, as he was endeavouring to
make his way towards the train as it approached. The
treatment which the public experienced by this train on
Sunday night was the subject of general complaint. At
Waltham-cross it actually went under the bridge, and
allowed the passengers, at the risk of their lives (there
not being many inches between them, the wall, and the
bridge) to get into the carriages the best way they
could, without regard to whether they paid first, second,
or third-class fares, many of the first being glad to get
into the last ; and even this they were compelled to do
by climbing over the bolted doors, there being no offi-
cers to attend them. Along the whole line to London
the difficulty increased, and the first and second carriages
having been crammed, all were compelled to get into the
third-class, so that in ono of them sixty men, women.
and children, were jammed together. Upon the ar-
rival of the train at Shoreditch, those who paid first class
fares, and were in the third-class carriages, were com-
pelled to remain in the open carriages until they were all
emptied and their tickets examined. The complaints on
all sides were loud and deep.
BRIGHTON, MONDAY.--The Prince of Wales and
the Princess Alice were taken out in an open barouche
this morning by the Dowager Lady Lyttelton. Her
Ladyship gave directions to drive to the Pier, where the
clerk of the Pier Company was in attendance to receive
their Royal Highnesses. The Prince and his illustrious
sister remained on the pier nearly an hour, running
about the whole of the time. A great number of per-
sons were on the cliffs, who appeared much interested
with the playfulness of the royal children. Their Royal
Highnesses are to leave Brighton on Wednesday after-
noon by a special train of the London and Brighton
Railway Company for New Cross. We are happy to
state that their Royal Highnesses continue in excellent
health. Sir Robert Peel has been to the Palace to see
the royal children.

Hops.—The picking will be brought to nearly a
close this evening throughout this district. The crop is
mostly equal to anticipation, in some cases it has fallen
short; it is everywhere a top crop. The size of the fruit
is small, but the quality good. The weather for the
gathering has been, like that of the corn harvest, re-
markably propitious. The district duty is estimated at
17,000/.; the general duty at 130,0001.—Hereford Times.
John Richardson, of Gateshead Fell, lately took
from his garden a stalk of potatoes having at the roots
thirty-one large potatoes, and being of the uncommon
weight of Bilbs.—Aewcastle Journal.
