96 Engravings.

done on Steel in the best manner, with a profusion of Illustra-

nent Scottish Scenery, drawn by CLARKSON STANFIELD,

Extract from Editor's Notice to Abbotsford Edition :
It was a favourite pursuit of Sir \Valtar Scott throughout
life, but especially in his most active period, to collect and ar-
range objects of art connected with the historical events and
personages recorded and il:ustrated by his pen ; and it cannot
be doubted that a series of Engravings, representing the Pic-
torial and Antiquarian Museum at Abbotsford, would furnish
the most instructive graphic commentary that the body of his
writings could receive from any one source whatever. This
collection, therefore, valuable in itself, and doubly interesting
as having been made by such a hand, has now been studied
with care, and its various curiosities faithfully copied, for the
exclusive purposes of an Edition of the Waverly Novels, which
is to bear the title of

HOLIDAY AMUSEMENTS

WESTMINSTER ABBEY, NATIONAL GALLERY, &e.
NATIONAL GALLERY.—During those last two days
this public exhibition has been completely besieged with
visitors, who poured in, in one continued stream, from the
ro
opening to the closing of the doors. It was computed
that upwards of 13,000 persons visited the gallery on
Monday, and 10,000 yesterday ; consequently, the rooms
were crowded to suffocation.
WESTMINSTER ABBEY.—At this venerable and splen-
did structure the visitors were very numerous both on
Monday and yesterday—tar exceeding any previous
similarl
have arisen from
a
fees having been
reduced to Q. since June last. If this fact were more
circumstance
generally known very few persons would neglect to in-
spect this gorgeous pile. As it is, however, there have
been upwards of 1,000 visitors within these two days, a i
eim occasion,ste
e which
of the pabdambilyssi mayim
great portion of whom were foreigners, who it appears
generally make this one of the lions of attraction when '
they visit London for the first time. The internal regu-
lation is under the superintendence of Mr. Foster Owen,
the high constable of Westminster, and he reports that
the visitors observe the strictest propriety.
ST. PAUL'S CATHEDRAL.—The visitors here were
very few indeed, which may be attributed to the high rate
of admission (4s. 2d.) which is still continued. The
numbcr could not be ascertained, but are supposed not
to have exceeded 50.
TIM TowEa:—The number of visitors to the ruins of
the small armouries and the Crown jewels yesterday con-
siderably exceeded that of Monday,
The exceedingly
fine weather of yesterday, and the opening of the new
jewe' ()See becoming more generally known to the pub-
lic, caused an additional influx of visitors.

PET CIC SESSIONS, WESTMINSTER.—SeveraI officers
f the Court of Chancery and the Law Courts have
apartm3nts in Westminster Hall, from which tine imme-
morial have been considered extra parochial. Lately,
howev3r, the overseers of St. Alargaret's claimed pay-
o
ment from the different occupants of poor-rates, police-
rates, &c., to which an appeal was made, and yesterday
came one for hearing before the Magistrates in Petly
Sessio is: The Justices dismissed the appeal, and ordered
the
.p lyment of the rates to. be enforced, thereby de-
ciding that the apartments in question are not extra pa-
rochi d. Mr. Pemberton, Solicitor
Forests, attended for the appellants, and requested that
notice. should be given to him before any distress warrant
was issued, as probably further proceedings might be
taken, to the Woods and

CAUTION TO LINENDItAPERS.

A system of fraud and conspiracy, which has been
carried on with impunity for a number of years, to
the incalculable injury of the trade, has at length
been exposed, and visited with exemplary punish-
ment, by the spirited exertions of Mr. Richard
Northover, a respectable draper, residing at Win-
chester. Having had several occasions during the
last five years to advertise for assistants in his
business, Mr. Northover's attention was excited by
the extraordingy similarity of many of the applica-
tionA he received in reply, being addressed to him by
individuals of different names, and from different
parts of London, not only in the same language and
handwriting, but even with the very same errors of
style and orthography. Suspecting, therefore, that
the whole of those communications must have ema-
nated from the same source, Mr. Northover thought
it worth while to take some pains to trace out
their origin, and the means by which it was
attempted to render them ultimately available. As
the letters always contained a reference to some
member of the trade by whom the writer professed
to have been previously employed, Mr. Northover
made a point• of applying to the parties referred
to, and in every instance he received a satisfac-
tory reply ; but it was very, remarkable that,
to whatever place the inquiry was sent, the an-
swer was invariably received from London, and
bore the London post-mark only, although dated
from the proper place—a fact which tended mate-
'Tally to strengthen the suspicion that all was not
right. Mr. Northover's next step, therefore, was
to address a letter to the postmasters of the different
towns, or some respectable inhabitant there, inquir-
ing whether or not such persons as those referred
to were actually residing there, to which inquiries
he received in every instance a negative reply, with
information that his own letters had been sent for by
bhe parties, to be forwarded to them in London, prov-
ing beyond all doubt, that the whole of the corres-
pondence was fraudulent, and the names fictitious.
Thus convinced, Mr. Northover considered it is duty
to exert himself to the utmost for the detection and pu-
nishment of the guilty parties. For that purpose, after
a correspondence of more than ordinary complexity, he
proposed to accept the offer of one of the applicants,
who had assumed the name of H. Jackson, and
referred for his character to a Mr. Smee, of Rochester,
from whom a letter was received through the London
Post-office (but of course dated from Rochester), con-
tair,ng everything that could render Mr. Jackson's
services desirable. The bait having succeeded, Mr.
Jackson made his appearance at Winchester in due
fonn,. to occupy the situation, little dreaming of the
reception that had been prepared for him. Suffice
it to say, that a few hours after his ar-
rival he found himself securely kiard in the
police station, under a charge of offering himself as

A fashionably dressed young man, who gave his name
as Chart s Reeves, was charged by police Constable 89
E,' with twisting the knocker off the door of the house
of Mr. Hopkins, 4, Southampton-row, Russell-square.
From the evidence, it appeared that the prisoner, with
two others, had been amusing themselves at the expense
of their neighbours, in the above mentioned place, at
half-past twelve last night. The policeman, who sus-
pected they were mischievously inclined, watched them
narrowly, and succeeded in arresting the prisoner, with
the knocker in his handkerchief ; he at once threw it

UNION HALL-THIS DAY.)

HORRIBLE REVENGE.—A :warrant WAS applied for
against a woman named Dowd('ll, for throwing a quan-
tity of vitriol in her husband's face.
A policeman of the M division stated that, while on
duty the preceding night, his attention w...s called on
hearing the groans of a man near the " Bull" public-
house; in the New Kent-road. He immediately pro-
ceeded to the spot, find saw a man, who appeared to be
in great agony, with his handkerchief up to his face, and
he complained that his wife, from whom he had been
living apart for the last two .months, had the moment
before watched him as he came out of the Bull, and
flung a quantity of vitriol in his face, a portion of which
Went into one of his eyes, and gave him the most excru-
ciating pain. The policeman added, that on perceiving
the condition of the unfortunate man, 'he led him to the
Hospital, and the surgeon, on examining the sufferer,
was of opinion that he must lose the sight of one of his eyes.
The Magistrate said that no warrant was required in
such a case, and directed the police to apprehend the
woman the moment they saw her, and bring her before
him, to answer for her diabolical conduct.

ST. ➢iARY, LAMBETH.

A vestry meeting of tke above parish was held in the
school-room in Lambeth-green, for the purpose of nomi-
nating lists of persons eligible to serve as churchwardens,
overseers, and in other offices, to be returned to the Ma-
gistrates in petty sessions, and on other general business.
The Rev. Dr. D'OYLEY, the rector, presided. In
opening the business I.e stated that if a poll should be
demanded respecting any of the lists, it should com-
mence in the church porch at the close of the business,
and continue till five o'clock, and continue for three sub-
sequent days from nine till five.
The present vestry-clerk, Mr. J. B. Clark, was re-
elected.
The Rev. CHAIRMAN then read the list propounded
by the Protection Society (who were Tories) and that
from the Whigs. The former party were charged by
their opponents, in the placards, with having greatly in-
creased the rates and mismanaged the expenditure.
Mr. FALL (a Liberal), in a long speech, deprecated the
conduct of tke present parish officers.
Mr. SOMERS CLARK and Mr. BULL, present parish
officers, defended their conduct, and pointed out mac-
curacies in the statements of their opponents.
After a long and stormy discussion, a show of hands
was taken, and declared to be in favour of the blue,
or Liberal, list. A poll was demanded by the other
party, and proceeded with at the termination of the
general business.

BERMONDSEY.

At eleven o'clock a vestry meeting was held for the
election and nomination of the various officers _ for the

year ensuing, but so little interest was excited in the
parish, that not twenty inhabitants assembled. The
various persons who had been named by the late officers
were put in nomination, and there being no opposition,
they were duly elected, and within the hour the proceed-
ings of the vestry terminated.

An interesting donation, consisting of two ancient
Greek skulls, has been made by Lord Nugent to the
anatomical museum of University College. These relies
were both found by his Lordship, in 1834, in the island
of Cephalonia, on the site of the Necropolis of the
city of Same, called by Pausanitts and Thucydides
Twv Mat.tE twv. Under the jaw of each was found a
Greek coin of about the date of the second Peloponne-
sian War (410 me.). In one of these specimens, which
is in an excellent state of preservation, are combined in
a marked degree all the peculiarities of the oval form of
skull—the beautiful eontour of the cranium, the harmo-
nious proportions of the different parts of the face, and
the regularity and symmetry of the whole, so eminently
characteristic of the skulls of the ancient Greeks, who
constitute the purest models and the typical examples
amongst Eurepean nations of the Caucasian or Iranian
type of the human species. Anither less perfect skull
and the left humerus, or arm-bone, belonging to the
same subject, together with one of the small bottles
called lacrymatories placed in an inverted position under
the arm, have also been deposited in the same museum of
the college : they were found by his Lordship embedded
in a soft red loam, near the sea-shore in the bay of Same.
LAW REPORTS.—The decisions of the different
Law Courts have become extremely voluminous. No
fewer than three of the present Judges were reporters in
the Common Law Courts—viz., Mr. Baron Alderson,
Mr. Justice Maule, and Mr. Justice Cres..,well. Sir J.
B. Bosanquet, the late Judge of the Common Pleas, also
published a series of reports of cases, as did Lord Camp,
bell when at the bar. These reports are recognised by
the Courts as authorities, and are frequently referred to
under their several titles of ." Barnewell and Alderson,"
"Barnewell and Cresswell," " Mettle and Selwyn,"
" Bosanquet and Buller," and " Campbell's Reports,' &c.
Sir George Rose, the.late Judge of the Court of Review,
and present Master in Chancery, formerly published re-
ports of cases in bankruptcy, and the late Mr. Justice
Taunton's cases are well known.

RES.

RIGHT or SEARCIL—In a letter from Boulogne,
December 9, published by the Progres du Pas de
Calais, we read—" A new case of personal search has
been mentioned, which appears to have been attended
with shameful circumstances. An English family
landed a 'few days ago. at Boulogne. After the master
and mistress had been searched, the same course was
observed with a young lady's maid. Whilst the
searching woman was handling her, the poor girl,
unused to such conduct, became suddenly flushed in
the face. This symptom of modesty was misinter-
preted ;. it was supposed that dread of detection had
made the blood mount to her face, and the most
rigorous and indecent, but fruitless, search ensued.
These are excesses of authority, which the Govern-
ment would check, if it had the slightest regard for
public decency."
ALDERSGATE DISPENSARY.-011 Wednesday a
quarterly general Court of Governors of the above
dispensary was held in the Board-rdom, Aldersgate-
street. Mr. Herring, the Treasurer was in the chair.
The minutes of the last meeting having been read
and confirmed, Mr. Wood, the Secretary, said that
the time had arrived when it was necessary to ap-
point auditors to examine the accounts. The follow.
ing where then elected :—William Batty, Esq., Ed-
ward Groom, Esq., Yates, Esq., and Dr. R. Row-
ley. The Secretary then read the Report, from which
it appeared that the number of patients relieved and
cured by the dispensary during the past quarter was
greater than at any former period, by between 200
and 300, making the applicants above 2,000. The
institution was considered to be of more immediate.
service to the poor than the hospitals; for in the
latter patients were seen only on particular days,
while the former distributed its relief throughout the
week. The Committee anticipated much support to
the charity from the anniversary dinner, fixed for
March next, at which Lord Carrington, whose noble
father had given 8001. to the institution, would pre-
side. The Report was received, after which thanks
were given to the Chairman, and the meeting separated

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TEIURSDAP EVENING.

The business of the English Stock Market is now
so confined to bona fide investments, that a certain
steadiness in prices is in a manner secured, and it is
expected that unless some very important political
event occurs, the large investments of wealthy Cor-
porations, usually made at the close of the year, will
still further strengthen the market. Consols were
938 to 94 for the opening, and. Exchequer Bills 50s.
to 525. prem. ; but East India Bonds receded to 455.
and 435. prem. The Reduced Three-and-a-Half per
Cents. were 101 to 101*, being firm ; but Bank
Stock was steady but dull at 173.
There was a good business done in the Foreign
Market, and all the leading securities wore a buoyant
appearance. Spanish Active Bonds were at a rise to
19 and 191, and the Three per Cents. to 241 and
241. Mexican were also rather buoyant at 318 to
311 ; Chilian touched 75, without the Deferred;
Brazilian were rather dull at 69+, and Portuguese
New Five per Cents. at 38*; the Three per Cents.
were 23*. Dutch Two and a Half per Cents. brought
521 to 521.
the Share Market does not increase in activity,
as there is less doing at Liverpool, but holders con-
tinue very firm. The bargains transacted have been
as follows :—Great Western Railway were 25 ; th
New, 14 ; the Fifths, 5 ; the Birmingham, 99 ; and
the South Western, 208 premium. Brightons were
14*, and South Eastern Scrip, 2+ discount. London
and Westminster Bank were 11 premium.
The Produce Markets were generally rath!r quiet.
Further sales of tea are declared for to-rnorr )w.
