Capital 300,000/., in 6,000 Shares of 56d. each.
Deposit, 2/. 154. per Share.
This short but Important Line is designed to connect the present
intended Railway from Hereford to Newtown and Shrewsbury with
the City of Worcester. Leaving the Severn Valley, it will reach
with an easy sweep the Valley of the Tome, and passing within a
distauce of the town of Tenbury, will join the Ilereford and
Shrewsbury Railway, about halfway between Tenbury and Ludlow.
In length, it will not exceed twenty miles, and follow, in the
greater part of its course, the Valley of the Teme on a water level.
It will thus bo necessarily inexpensive in construction, and occupy
but a short period in its formation.
The country is populoas and fertile, and, on the completion of
the Itailviay from Oxford to Worcester, this line will be absolutely
necessary to perfect the communication between the Metropolis and
North and Central Wales, and eventually the Centre and North of
Ireland.
Worcester, from its situation to the rich Vale of the Severn ;
from its Population, Wealth, and Manufactures, must naturally be-
come the most important centre to which all lines from the
Metropolis, having North Wales, part of South Wales, and Ireland
as their objects of communication, eventually converge.
There are no difficult earth works on the line. The gradients are
most easy. A survey of the whole line has been completed.
In the allotment of Shares every preference will be given to parties
locally interested.
A prospectus, with full particulars, will bo issued in a few days.
Application for Shares must be made in the form appended, to
Messrs. Carden and Whitehead, Threadneedle street, London, or
William Dutton, Esq., Solicitor, 16, Chancery-lane, London.
FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.
To the Provisional Committee of the Worcester, Tenbury, aud Lud-
low Railway.
Gentlemen,—l request that you will allot me Shares,
of 50/. each, in the above proposed Railway, and I undertake to pay
the deposit of 2/. 15s. per Share thereon, or any less number you may
appropriate to me, and to execute the Subscribers' Agreement and
Parliamentary Contract when required.

Aver witnessed.

ab,:cnt „I:C1 take no
part whatever in the debates. The- fact is thus stated
in one of the Dublin papers of Thursday :
" We are in a position to state," says the Freeman," that should
a call of the House be ordered, it will be disobeyed, and that
O'Connell, O'Brien, John O'Connell, Dillon Browse, Grattan,
and the other representatives of tl.e people, who labour in the na-
tional cause, will treat the threat of Mr. Hume and the call of
Cle Speaker with equal indifference. When these men came to
the resolve of serving- Ireland in Ireland, they counted the
cost and accepted all the difficulties of their choice. At pre-
sent the interests of Ireland demand their presence here, and
here they have determined to remain till duty shall call them
elsewhere. If duty should call them to Westminster either to
resist oppressive, or to improve ameliorating measures, they are
as prepared to labour there as they now are to labour
here. But they, and not the British Parliament, are the
judges of the time and the circumstances under which
their presence in the English House of Commons may become a
duty ; and should the Parliament attempt to coerce them to attend
its sittings at any time, other than they themin-lves may select,
they are resolved to give the Sergeant-at-Arms an opportunity of
making an arrest, and afterwards to test by due process the legality
of that arrest, and thus try the right of the British Parliament to
enforce the attendance of an Irish representative. This resolution
was unanimously come to yesterday by an influential Committee,
and we lose not an hour in giving the assembled senators thebenefit
to be derived from an early knowledge of the fact."

From the concurring testimony of the City or money
articles of our own paper and our contemporaries, we
are induced to believe that the period of re-action in the
Share• market, to which we have so often felt it our duty
to advert, is not very far distant. The Times thus
pointedly alludes to the matter, in its yesterday's impres-
sion:—" The Railway Share-market continues heavy,
and the increase of sales depresses prices. In fact, all
the markets arc in a declining condition ; and souse few
fancy that the period of re-sction his at length arrived."
It must have struck the most casual observer of

such operations for some time past, that prices
in the Share-market have either maintained
a buoyancy difficult to be accounted for on all
ordinary principles of scrip speculation, or have
even exhibited a tendency to rise in a degree to be looked
for, under ordinary circumstances, only in the shares
of first-rate and long-established concerns which have
attained a species of maturity in the continued confi-
dence of the public. One can perfectly well understand,
when the interest on Government securities is so low as

that which they at present pay, that shares in the capital
of such magnificent and undoubted Companies, or Asso-
ciations, as the Bank of England, the East India Com-
pany, the New River Company, and some others
which rarely find their way, at all even, into

the market, should be eagerly sought after as
the safest and most eligible channels in which
individuals can make investments. It is easy to imagine
that, with a view to the security of their principal,
parties may be disposed to buy into such concerns as
these, at as high a premium (should the shares be
carrying such, in the market) as to leave them but an
inconsiderably higher return of interest than they would
receive from investments in the Government stocks.
They are justified, however, in thus determining, by
the guarantees of long experience, reiterated tests, and
not merely the unabated but increasing fay( ur in which
these Associations stand with the monied public of all
the civilised world. But when we find—out of two new
railway undertakings—some, not yet in actual working.
others but very recently commenced—that 99 are above
par, and perhaps 70 or 80 at a premium in
the share market, and again that the range of this pre-
mium from 1 per cent. on the shares of some railway

companies to 10 per cent. on tho: o • of others, is clearly
not referable to the varying degree of relative advan-
tages which they are likely to secure to their respective
proprietaries, but by some not apparent and not inhe-
rent causes we are justified in surmising that a spirit
of gambling, either fraudulent or capricious, must be the
principle which strikes these differences of nominal
value, where dune are, as yet, no practical results c f
fact and of experimental working to decide the it'd
value of such shares. Now, whether the price that
is thus set, be created by the caprice or the fruul of
gambling speculation, that is to say, whether it be a
fancy or a factitious price, it is equally worthless as an
index of value. If these premises be admitted, let us
apply them to the eighty or ninety millions of capital
s ock of railway undertakings, which the heat of that
excitement we speak of has, for months past, kept fer-
menting and raising to an artificial temperature. The
Lime is coming at which, if we may be allowed to pursue
the figure, a vast proportion of this aerated mass is to be
.irawa off. What will be the per centage.of immediate
loss occasioned by that process ? When the moment
has come at which the operation of settling and
realising shall be extensively resorted to —when it
ill no longer be a question with speculators how high
by a little management they can send up shares on this
a. that project over a certain day (all dealings in them,
in the meanwhile, being in the nature of time bargains
`)nly, and for " differences"), but how low beyond their
original cost price they can prevent them from tumbling
,lown, when the disorganization of the general share
market shall square prices by the value of money multi-
plied in the inverse ratio of the discredit that will have
infalliby overtaken the scrip of two-thirds of such com-
panies ; when that moment shall have arrived, we must
be prepared to hear of frightful deficiencies and
3efalcations. The balance between the prices at
which shares have been nominally bought, and
must be actually sold, will represent a sacrifice of capi-
cal perfectly appalling. And all this will be indepen-
lent of that loss which is always most severe, on the
most sanguine or mercurial speculation. What we have
supposed above, applies specially to the railway projects
chat will probably be at a discount—that is to say, to
the great majority of them. But there w:11
be a few a favourite few —of which more
shares will have become the subject of con-
tracts for delivery at a specified day, than
ttiere will be afloat in the market. These can'
oily be evoked by the potent but ruinous spell of
pay ing increased premiums upon them. By analogy we
shall have the old story re-enacted of the Dutch Bur-
gomaster who speculated in the " stock" of the unique
black and white Verelst Viceroy tulip, to the extent of a
thousand bulbs at a thousand guilders a piece. The
frenzy of the tulip mania had just then attained its height,
and " the one famous" Aletnaez Viceroy had fetched
4,200 guilders. Our Burgomaster was tempted by what-
e :er amount of premium he liked to set upon his Verehts,
till at last ho bad disposed of his thousand bulbs
for 2,000 guilders each, • covenanting to delivt r
the said bulbs in two months. A very capital
operation he thought he had made. His tulip contract
shares changed owners, till they were distributed into
nearly a thousand hands. The usual panic came, and
with it the re- action. Tho Burgomaster's day of de-
livery arrived ; and, lo I there were but 500 bulbs to be
had, or known to be in existence. Could the Burgo-
master have summoned together twice the capital repre-
sented by the exorbitant price he had obtained for his
bulb shares, he could not have extricated himself from
the ruin which overwhelmed him.

Madrid journals of the 2d inst. have been received.
Monday was kept as a close holiday, being the anniver-
..ary of the rising against the French in 1803. Tho
Cortes did not meet, and the Bourse was shut.

The first clause of the Bill for farming the fortifica-
tions of Paris has been adopted by the Chamber of
Deputies. The sum proposed was 14,130,000 f. (56,5001.),
ind on a division there was fur the clause, 227, and
against it, 144—majority, 83. This is a very large
majority, and leaves no doubt that the fortification of
the capital is now un fait accompli. The debate on this
clause
.was enlivened in a variety of ways—by soma
sharp-shooting between M. ARAGO and General Parc-
LIANS, an amusing speech of M. ALLARD (the reporter
of the Bill), and a personal quarrel between M. TRIERS
and M. DE LAMARTINE. The philosopher, when the
affair became serious, had no chance with the
General, and was compelled to admit that
many of his calculations and conclusions, made at a
former sitting, were quite untenable. M. ALLARDE
?tuned into utter ridicule the idea that any new danger
to the citizens of Paris could be apprehended from
arming the forts. " There are other means already
existing," said he, " far more serious ones, of bombard-
ing Paris. At the very gates of Paris stands the Butte
Montmartre. Now, just suppose that some thirty of the
five Or six hundred pieces of cannon kept at Vincennes
(not far off either) be conveyed to that height—suppose
that seven or eight thousand men be also stationed there,
in order to fire and protect them just stippose this,
and I most positively tell you that Paris will be
destroyed in less than twenty-four hours." .‘ Don't make
suppositions
like these," said General LAIDET. " There
arc crimes of which we should not allow ourselves even
to form an idea." " Well," replied the other, " but let us
look to ourselves. Permit me to add that the front of
the palace in which you are now sitting presents itself so
very well to the aforesaid Batte, that I defy the most in-
experienced gunner not to send his first ball amongst
us." This was followed by shouts of laughter, and the
speaker continued :—" Thus when you accuse the forts
of threatening the liberties of the country, you must
own that the Butte Montmartre is also guilty of the same
imputed crime. To these suppositions there are but
two things wanting—a Government daring enough to
realise them, and an army to second it. lam c,n-
vineed that neither will ever be found." When the

country any servin during the la.t Men yea's, he felt cont inced..,
that it was prir.cliTtlly on the day when, on his own re,pon.ibllity, I
he had ca'led on the Government to undertake the fortifications of
Paris; there was no act of his life of which he was so proud.
His conduct on that occasion had certainly drawn on him most
shameful calumnies, but he despised them when expressed as they
had been the day before.—(Great agitation.)
" A Voice--Order I Order I
" M. Thiers—lf what the Hon. Deputy asserted yesterday was
true, the Chamber must have been composed, when the fortifica-
tions were voted, of dupes and traitors, but there had been neither
one nor the other. They who had voted for that work had not
dime S 9 to please him (I‘l. Thiers), but because they were satis.
fled, like General llsxo, like General Valaze, and like Napoleon
himself, that such an act would be of the greatest benefit to the
country. He had frequently heard General Bertrani declare that
the Emperor had said to him that the greatest service that could
be rendered to France was to fortify the capital. M. de Lamartine
had spoken of the influence of the fortifications on the balance of
power in the State. Some day or other, he (M. Thiers) should
perhaps tell how in that balance the equilibrium bad come
to be broken, but he should choose his own time for doing so, and
should himself decide when it might be useful to write that history.
"M. De Lamartine thought that the violent language used
by M. Thiers, when complaining of having been calumniated by
those who considered the fortifications most dangerous to France,
justified the doubt and uneasiness which the measure inspired in
the country.—(Murmurs.) But the words of the Hon. Deputy
were not of the same weight as facts. He should prove from his
own dispatches that he had not the slightest idea of war in 1840,
and, consequently that the fortifications of Paris were not re-
quired, but were nothing more or less than an act of Ministerial
dictatorship.—(lnterruption.) M, Thiers, in a dispatch, dated
March 15th, 1840, declared that the French and English Govern-
ments agreed at bottom in their views.'—(Movement.) In a dis-
patch from Lord Granville, of May 1, 1840, it was said, M. Thiers
has communicated to me a dispatch to his consul at Alexandria, di.
rect:ng him to make the Pacha clearly understand, that France, in
order to preserve Syria to him, would not compromise her rela..
lions with England.'—(Fresh marks of interest.) Besides, M.
Thiers had himself declared in the Chamber just before the forma.
tion of his Ministry, that whatever might be the aspect of affairs
in Europe, there was no danger of a cannon being fired.' Where,
then, were the signs of war ? Where the necessity of the fortifi-
cations ? Lord Palmerston, in one of his dispatches to M. Buiwer
in Paris, said, I have given M. Guizot to understand'—M.
Guizot was then Ambassador at London—' that the French fleet
ought not to be placed in such a pesition wills respect to ours as to
produce a collision, and he replied that care should be taken to
prevent it.'—(Continued movement.) He respected the convic-
tions of M. Thiers, as that gentleman ought to have respected his,
but he must still reproach him with having placed his country on the
verge of so great a danger, and thrown round the capital of France
so menacing a circuit. M. Thiers, in the course of his remarks,
had pronounced a word which might possess a personal character—
one that hail never been applied to him (M. de Lamartine), and
which he should never permit any man to so apply. He must call
on the Hon. Deputy to declare precisely what he meant by that ex-
pression, and when he shout./ have explained, he (M. de Lamar.
tine) should know in what manner he ought to reply to him.—
(Tumult, agitation.)
"The President—Both Hon Deputies had expressed their opi.
'lions as they had a right to do. Nothing of a personal character
could be attributed to their words. Their political views were alone
referred to, and nothing more could be said of the matter.—(Cries
of Hear, hear,' and continued agitation.) "
Some other speakers made brief remarks amidst great
agitation ; a division took place, and the Chamber ad-
journed. ImmeJiately a ftcr the Chamber ruse, the
Presid.-nt sent for M. TIIIERS and M. DE LAIS.RTINE
:o his private cabinet. The following account of the in-
terview is given by the correspondent of a Contem-

porary :-
0 M. Thiers replied, that he had no wish to meet M. de Lamar.
tine, but he appointed M. de Remusat and M. Ganneron to at..
tend for him; while M. de Lamartine attended in company with Ge-
neral Liadet and the Mar Luis de la Rochejaquelin. M. Thiers had
previously declared to his friends, ' that he would rather
stand fifty shots than retract a single word he had made use of.'
M. de Lamartine was the first to enter the President's cabinet. He
stated distinctly to the President, and the four friends present ou
behalf of the two parties, that in the words which he had used in
the course of his speech on the preceding day, and which had given
offence to M. Thiers, it was not to that gentleman he alluded at
all, and that he had never suspected the good faith of M. Tillers.
After M. de Lamartine had left the cabinet, M. Thiers entered,
and on being informed of the explanation given by the former, he
said that as his opponent had no intention of alluding to him, he
could have no objection to withdraw the offensive expression of
which he had made use ; but he reserved to himself the liberty of
withdrawing what he then said till such time as M. de Lamartine's
explanation was regularly drawn up upon paper. M. de Remusat
was then appointed to draw up a statement of the explanations on
both sides."
Next day before proceeding to public business the
President informed the Chamber that, " in consequence
of the language w hich had taken place the preceding day
between M. THEIRS and M. DE LADIARTINE, he had
deemed it his duty to call those Honourable Gentleman
to his private cabinet; that there, in the presence of
mutual friends, explanations had been given by both the
Honourable Deputies, which, in the opinion of their
friends were perfectly satisfactory. The Chamber (ob-
served the President) would hear with pleasure of this
termination of the difference that had arisen between
two of their colleagues of such consideration, and so well
deserving of each other's esteem." This announcement
was received with cheers. The discussion was then re-
sumed. The amendment of M. LAROCREJAQUELIN for
depositing the guns in the arsenal of Toulouse fell to the
ground, as no one seconded the motion. Another
amendment was proposed, but no result had taken place
at the time of post.
The following are miscellaneous extracts from the

papers :
The Journal du Havre publishes a very long letter from M.
Lepaire, master of a trading vessel, complaining of vexations
whilst at Ichaboe taking i■ a cargo of guano, on the part of
Captain Brooke, of her Majesty's ship Thunderbolt. The writer,
however, does not reproaeh Captain Brooke simply with his con.
duct towards French traders, but declares that he has been
equally tyrannical and unaccommodating to those of his own
country. As regards M. Lepaire, however, the charges are chiefly
for want of courtesy, and too unimportant to render it necessary
for us to give them in detail.
The New Zurich Gatette states from Lucerne, May 3, that Dr.
Steiger, one of the leaders of the late movement, has been tried by
the Criminal Tribunal, and condemned to be shot.
The Gazette du Midi of Marseilles quotes a letter of the 22d
ult. from Alexandria, stating that Mehemet Ali was irritated at
not having received any intelligence from England at to the postal
treaty, and has threatened that, if it be not settled within a month,
he will put a stop to the internal navigation by the boats of the

LORD FRANCIS EGERTON.
The Manchester Cou✓iel, of this day, contains a long letter
from Lord Francis Egerton, in reply to the remonstrances of
many of his constitutents on the subject of his recent vote in
favour or the grant to Maynoutn. It appears that one of
his Lordship's correspondents has thought proper to express
his regret at Lord Francis Egerton 's vote in the following,
certainly not most relined, language :—" I regret it also be-
cause it gives the lie to almost all the other actions of your
Lordship's honoured life." -From the charge of inconsistency
thus recklessly br.ught against him, the Noble Lord vindi-
cates himself in the following calm and gentlemanly
manner :

" It is clear from the latter passage that one of the few incideuts
of my life worth the notice of the writer or any one else, had
altogether escaped it. I changed my name in 1833, and this cir-
cumstance may possibly account for his evident unconsciousness
that in 1825 I moved a resolution for the payment of the Roman
Catholic clergy in Ireland. I nave never, with respect to the justice
and policy of that proposal, altered the opinions which induced me
to make, and a majority of a purely Protestant House of Commons
to accept it ; but I can also say, what is more to the purpose of
this letter, that I have not to my recollection or know.
ledge, in any assembly, public or private, given any reason or
ground for the supposition that I had done so. It is true that, as
far as I am aware, the subject was never brought into discussion at
any county meeting, but that is not my fault. It was a topic per-
fectly open to any of my opponents, Churchman or Dissenter, to
bring forward, even if my supporters chose to avoid it. It was
embalmed in Hansard ready for use; I never shrunk from it; if
I had seen reason to do so, I should not have twice solicited and
obtained the services of a Roman Catholic gentleman for my n's.
ruination at the hustings of Newton. If I had exchanged ray opi.
Mons of 1826 for those which I am now invited to adopt, I could
not have even asked for his vote."
With regard to the warnings held out to him by his former
supporters, he says—
"l am now warned—l cannot call it threatened—that my votes
will lose me support which I value, and conflidenee 1 have been
proud to enjoy. I make no pretence to indifference on receiving
these Intimations. I view them with deep regret, because I con.
eider them as indications that a state of opinion prevails i.t a most
important and valuable class of my countrynaen, which, in propor-
tion to the good qualities of those who hold it, is dan.gerons to the
security of the state and the integrity of the empire.''
Such an opinion so expressed by such a man Would, we
should hope, cause those opponents of the Illaynooth Bill, and
who have not altogether suffered their reason to be swamped
by their passions, to pause in their career, and to consider
well the consequences of 'their conduct before they give
themselves up to do the work of bigotry and fanaticism.
Lcrd Francis Egerton resigns his seat fur South Lancashire.
lle, however, disclaims the honours of political martyrdom.
" In en ordinary, but Incorrect acceptation of the word, I am a
martyr; not, however, to Maynooth, but to disease, which in.
capacitates me for the public service; and this circumstance will
preclude me from becoming one in the real intent of the term."
After expressing his respect for the religious convictions in
which the remonstrances on the subject of Maytmoth have
had their origin, Lord Francis Egerton concludes in the
following terms
may on which the
• As it happens, be the principles what they
Government of this empire is henceforth to be conducted, I can
have but little share or influence in the matter. I confess that, if
that Government is to be administered on the assumption that our
Roman Catholic fellow-countrymen are idolators—if that theory is
to be worked out to its consequences, I shall be thankful that cir-
cumstances, however distressing in themselves, operate to release
me from the 650th share of responsibility for the welfare of the
State, to which, as a Member of Parliament, I now consider myself
liable."
We trust that all men of all parties will ponder well this
the deliberate record of the opinions of a Christian gen-
tleman, a man of honour, a true statesman, and a profound

„
be found a maa ~.ho is eII th;„so
willing to incur that responsibility from which Lord Francis
Egerton shrinks.

Among the benefits which a low tariff gives us, and which
could be much further extended, is the early obtainment of
products, which our less genial climate does not enable us
to obtain until much later in the season. A quantity of new
potatoes from Bermuda have been received by the Trent
steamer, and a sample, we understand, will be sent
by Messrs. Keeling and Hunt to the Free Trade
Bazaar. We need hardly remark that at present new
Potatoes can only be had of hot-house growth, and conse-
quently that there would be here no pretext for the cry of
injurious competition to home producers.
In the weekly statement to the 3d inst. of the affairs of the
Bank of England, the notes issued are set down at 29,167,095/. ;
decrease 86,8501; the Bullion 15,162,0951. and 641,159/.; to-
gether 15,803,254/., or less by 82,604/. Rest 3,183,817/. ; in-
crease 7,528/. The public deposits have taken an upward
movement to the extent of 68,593/. These are the main
feat urea.
The Gazette of last night contains also the Irish and
Scotch returns. The former exhibit an increase of 89,775/.
to the Bank of Ireland, and a decrease of 89,3211. to the
joint-stock and private of Ireland, consequently the circula-
tion in Ireland was very steady during the month of April.
The Scotch banks increase by 50,370/.
There has been a further improvement to-day in the quo-
tations of the English Securities, Consuls having touched
98% and 99% for Money, and 99% to IA for Account. The
New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 100% %; and
the Three per Cents. 97% to 973/4. Bank Stock is dull at

The Foreign Bonds have been tolerably firm. Spanish
Five per Cents. are 30%, and the Three per Cents. have
touched 42 and 42%. Portuguese Converted have been
66% to 66%, Mexican 37 to 371,4, and Columbian 15%.
Dutch Four per Cents. are 97% to 97%.
For Railway Shares the inquiry has been rather better,
and consequently prices are firmer generally.

LONDON ADJOURNED SESSIONS,

(THIS DA Y.)

(Before the LORI)MATOR, RECORDER and ALDRRhIRN.)

These sessions whre held this day. There was a great deficiency
of jurymen, both grand and petty. Of the former, four were flueil
10/. each ; of the latter, several were fined a similar sum, and as
there were not a sufficient number to form a second jury,,all above
the first twelve were discharged from further attendance.

Henry England vas indicted for an assault on John Walton. It
appeared by the evidence, that the prosecutor went to some pre-
mises belonging to him, and let to a person named Banfield, who
sold his business to the defendant. Prosecutor went to the house
to get his rent, and found the place nearly stripped ; he was going
to make a distraint, when defendant seized him by the collar, and
threatened to throttle him. The goodo were got away, and the
key was kept for eight weeks afterwards. He had offered to settle
on an apology, and the rent due at the time being paid.
The RECORDER suggested to Mr. Wilde, defendant's counsel,
that the plea of Not Guilty should be withdrawn, and defendant
enter into a recognizance to appear for judgment next sessions.
He considered, that under the circumstances, it would be much
" cheaper" for the defendant.
Mr. WILDE said, that after what had fallen from the Court, he
had no hesitation in advieing that course.
Defendant was then found Guilty.
Mr. PAYNIE addressed the Recorder, and said, that as the Court
of Queen's Bench had decided that appeals could not be heard at
intermediate sessions, it was to be regretted some arrangement
could not be made that the jury should not be called en, as they
were now liable to be called eight times a year.

The RECORDER said that when the Magistrates of the City of
London thought intermediate sessions unnecessary, he should feel
happy to relieve them ; but he did not see why there should not
be intermediate sessions. It was so in other courts, and grave mat-
ters were tried. He thought, however, that it would be advisable
to appoint appeals to be heard on the adjournment day of the Quar-
ter Sessions, when ,the list of cases for the jury war light, or a
special day appointed, which would prevent the unnecessary and
prolonged attendance of parish officers.
The Grand Jury brought in several bills for assaults and mis-
demeanours, but the parties put in bail and traversed, and the
court broke up.

VAUXHALL GARDENS. Great preparations have
been made for the re-oper.ing of Vauxhall Gardens en Monday
next. The new management proposes to reduce the price of re.
freshments to the same scale es that adapted at respectable taverns.

CONVICTS TOR VAN DltrtUN's LAND AND Olt-
FOUL ISLAND. —The Naiad and Nymph steam-packets of the Wool.
wich Company brought down the river upwards of 200 convicts
yesterday morning from Millbank Penitentiary, to be put on board
the David Malcolm hired convict ship, lying Ott the Royal Arsenal,
Burgess, who w.ss sentenced to transportation for his connexion
with the bank robbery of about 8,0001., the greater part of which
was recovered, when taken in America ; Dalmas, for the murder
of a woman on Battersea-bridge; and Tolzer, fora murder in Rat
cliffe.highway, are among the unfortunates, and will have to pass
the remainder of their lives on Norfolk Island, one of the severest
petrel settlements in New South Wales. The whole of the convicts
brought down yesterday have been sentenced to transportation for
crimes which call for the adoption of rigorous punishment, and
they will all be sent to Norfolk Island; but it is expected a
few will yet be received on board for conveyance to Van Diemen's
Land.

COLONEL SIBTIIORP, AlT.—The gallant and inde-
fatigable representative fur Lincoln (Colonel Sibthorp) has met with
so severe an accident that by will not, in all probability, be able to
attend the House of Commons for some time. On Saturday last,
as he was entering or leaving his club house, he tell down the steps
and fractured two or three of his ribs, and he is, we regret to hear,
rather a dangerous state,—Lincolus4ire Chronicle.
THE NENV DEAN OF WESTMINSTER.—Yesterday
the Rev. Samuel Wilberforce, D.D., the new Dean of Westmin-
ster, was installed into his new dignity in Westminster Abbey.
Nearly the whole of the prebendaries were present,
