OR,
THE ROMANCE OF A WEAK
Edited by R. PLU3IER WARD, Esq_
Author of " Tremaine," " De Vere," &e.
" Every one will read " Chatsworth," for it is a waif so novel b
its design, so excellent in its general execution, as to lie certain to
make an impression upon the public mind. In the description of the
natural beauties of the scenery surrounding Chatsworth, and in the
drawing of the portraits of the various guests there assembled, the
author evinces equal appreciation of the picturesque and knowledge
of character. He mingles brilliant and poetic descriptions of modern
life, scenes, and characters, with the old romantic stories of past
times. He blends in one work the ideal beauty of Tieck, the ever
fresh simplicity and charming nature of Boccacio and the sparkling
descriptions of the manners of this age of Mrs. Gore; amidst much
to move our wonder and admiration."—Court Journal.

state of the colony.
BRUSSELS, FEBRUARY 29.—The Sections of the Chamber,
at the request of the Minister of Finance, are engaged, laying
aside all other business, in examining the project of
law for the conversion of the Five per Cent. loans. Five of

THE HAGUE, MARCH I.—The Second Chamber of the
Stated-General in its sitting of to-day, agreed after long de-
bates, to the following project of law :-
1. For completing the ways and means for the years 1844
and 1845, by a majority of 29 to 25.
2. For paying the debt to the Handelsmaatschappy (Com-

.AsurrEnmst, MARCH 2.—lt is with deep regret that we
have to announce that the Second Chamber of the States
General has had the courage to agree to the project of law
for an extraordinary income-tax, &c. We say that it had
the courage, for courage surely was necessary to pass such a
law, for the dangers 'which it threatens are great.—Amster-

POLICE INTELLIGENCE

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)

Thomas Cates, a young man of respectable appearance,
living at New-road, Parson's Mead, Croydon, Surrey, was
brought up in custody of Inspector Pearce, of the detective
force, charged with having uttered a forged cheque for the
sum of 7601. 9s. 10d., at the banking-house of Sir W. P. Call,
Bart., Martin and Co., of No. 25, Old Bond-street. The
brief facts of the case are as follows :—About half-past three
o'clock yesterday afternoon the prisoner presented
the cheque in question, which purported to be drawn
by the firm of Messrs. Elliot and Co., of Pimlico,
brewers, who banked at Sir William P. Call, Martin
and Co., in favour of a Mr. John Thompson, on bearer.
Suspicion was excited as to the genuineness of the signature,
but the money was, nevertheless, paid, in 7001. in notes, and
the rest in gold. After he was gone the suspicions returned,
and he was followed to the Ship Hotel, Charing-cross, where
he was given into custody, and all the money found on his
person. He said that he was employed by a gentleman to
cash the cheque, of the nature of which he knew nothing.
Some circumstances seemed to render his- account of the
matter probable, and he was remanded for a fortnight.

THE LATE FIRE AT MANCHESTER.—AIthough
some days may perhaps elapse before the amount for which
the several firms are insured can be ascertained with accu-
racy, we have succeeded in obtaining, from an authentic
source, what we believe will be found to be a correet state-
ment of the loss to each of the insurance-offices by this un-
expected calamity. The statement is as follows :—Alliance,
17,000/. ; Imperial, 13,800/. ; Atlas, 9,000/. ; West of England,
9,000/. ; Phoenix, 8,0001. ; Manchester, 8,000/. • Scottish
Union, 8,000/. ; Sun, 6,000 ; Norwich Union, 6,000/. ; Cale-
donian, 6,000/. ; Royal Exchange, 5,000/. ; County, 5,000/. ;
North British, 5,300/. ; London, 4,000/. ; Globe, 3,0001. • and
Leeds and Yorkshire, 2,oool.—making a total of 116,100/.
The Liverpool;office is said to have had a policy on the pre-
mises in question, up to Christmas last, for 8,1001., but the
Directors having then determined not to insure what are
termed " wood-lined" warehouses, the renewal of that policy,
with a larger amount upon other similar risks, was declined.
—Liverpool Albion.
ARABIC SUPERSTITION.—Mahomet is said to have
possessed a. tame pigeon, which he taught secretly to eat out
of his ear, in order that his followers might believe him,
through means of this bird, to receive some divine communi-
cations. Sandys observes, in his "Travels," that there are
still a multitude of doxefs about Mecca, preserved and fed
with gfeat care and superstition, being thought to be of the
breed of that dove which spake in the ear of Alahomet.

COURT OF REQUESTS (BIRMINGHAM.)

Mr. W. 0. STANLEY said it would be in the recol-
lection of the House that a trial had lately taken place
in Birmingham, in which two prisoners, named James
Smith and John Taylor, were charged before the Re-
corder with assaulting a police-constable of the name of
William Butterfield, who had been called in to quell a
disturbance which had taken place in the Court of Re-
quests' prison, in Birmingham, the two persons charged
with the assault being at that time confined for debt.
The question he wished to put to the Right Hon. Baro
net the Home Secretary, was, whether his attention had
been called to this trial ? and also whether his attention
had been called to the state of the prison attached to the
Court of Requests in Birmingham ? and whether he
would consent to lay on the table of the House any cor-
respondence that had taken place between himself and
the Recorder of Birmingham ?
Sir J. GRAHAM said that immediately upon seeing
the report of the trial in the newspapers, he sent down
a prison inspector to investigate the case. That inves-
tigation had taken place, and a report had been made,
and upon that report he (Sir James Graham) had been
in correspondence with the Birmingham authorities.
That correspondence was not yet completed, but on its
completion he should have no objection to lay it on the
table of the House. Having said so much he would just
state that the Home Secretary's power was limited to
sending down inspectors and to receiving reports. He had
no ulterior power.
Mr. W. O. STANLEY wished also to know if the
Right Hon. Baronet had directed his attention to all
similar prisons throughout the United Kingdom?
Sir J. GRAHAM said a general inspection had taken
place.

Author of " Tremaine," " De Vere," &c.
" Every one will read " Chatsworth," for it is a work so novel in
its design, so excellent in Its general execution, as to be certain to
make an impression upon the public mind. In the description of the
natultal beauties of the scenery .urrouuding Chatsworth, and in the
drawing of the portraits of the various guests there assembled, the
author evinces equal appreciation of the picturesque and knowledge
of character. • He mingles brilliant and poetic descriptions of modern
life, scenes, and characters, with the old romantic stories of-past
times. He blends in one work the ideal beauty of fleck, the ever
fresh simplicity and charming nature of Boccacio and the sparkling
descriptions of the manners of this age of Mrs. Gore ; amidst much
to move our wonder and admiration."—Court Journal.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of Oct. 11.)

supported for all descriptions. The total quantity sold
amounted to 600 hhds, including a public sale of 100
hhds 14 trcs of Barbadoes Sugar, which went at former
rates for middling good and fine sorts, but prices were
again 6d per cwt lower for inferior; low soft footy went
54s to 55s 6(1, middling ditto 56s 6d to 58s 6d, good 59s
to 61s, and fine 62s to 63s per cwt. The total sales for
the week are 2.200 hhds and trcs.

tion has occurred since last Friday. Brown lumps have

BRIGHTON.

WEDNESDAY.—The General Steam Navigation Com-
pany's packet the Magnet, Captain Cheesman, arrived
this morning, from Dieppe, with about fifty passengers,
including Viscount Cantalupe, and a courier from Paris
with dispatches from the French Government for his
Majesty Louis Philippe, at Windsor. The courrier left
Paris yesterday, at two o'clock, and will return by the
packet to Dieppe this evening, with dispatches from the
King.

Sivori, Dohler, Piatti, and the remainder of the party
travelling through the provinces, gave a concert here
last night, to a thin audience. Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Kean's performance at the theatre, in The Lady of Lyons,
doubtless had an effect upon the receipts, the theatre
being well attended. Piatti never performed here before.
He is a splendid player on the violencello, and the
audience were liberal in their applause. Sivori, as usual,
enchanted his hearers with one of his concertos, and
Dohler was greatly admired. Mr. and Mrs. Kean
appear at the theatre this evening, in Richard the Third.
They are engages for this week only, and after their
benefit, next Monday evening, will proceed to Dublin to
fulfil an engagement. Sivori and his party gave
.a
concert this morning, at Worthing.
The town continues full of visitors, the latest arrivals
comprising the Earl of Bosse, Sir Thomas Baring, Lady
Arabella Baring, the Countess of Effingham, Major
Cholmondeley, Sir James Clark Jervoise, Mr. and Mrs.
Gladotone and family, Mr. and Lady Goding, &c.
We are sorry to hear that the Hon. C. A. Murray,
Master of the Household, is still confined to his room by
severe indisposition.

KNACKERS' CARTS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—In one of your editions of last week's Sun,
you notice the horrible cruelty still existent in the
" knackers' yards," and which have been so vividly
exposed by Mr. May, of the National Animals' Friend
Society. Allow me to make notice of a disgusting
and horrible cruelty—namely, that the poor worn-out
horses, which are unable for work, and sent to the
knacker for the purpose of being killed, should be
compelled by the inhuman purchaser to be harnessed
in a knacker's cart, and draw the ponderous load of
one or more carcases through the streets of London.
I trust, Sir, the Society will look to this, and, if pos-
sible, remedy the evil. Many thanks for past favours.
—I am, &c., HUMANITY.
