THE WESLEYAN MISSIONA►N

- - - -
SOCIETY.
A bazaar has for the last few days teen held at. the
Centenary Hall, Bishdpsgate-street, for the benefit of
the 'Wesleyan Missionary Society. -
In addition to an ample display of fancy articles'
usually exhibited on these occasions, the bazaar was
furnished with supplies of useful clothing, arranged in
small lots, for easy distribution amongst the poor at this
season or general distress. The Avall of one of the
rooms is covered with rare skins and furs, and sundry
curious articles, sent over for the-purpose by the Mis-
sionaries in.connexion with the Wesleyan community
in every quarter of the globe.
Several costly presents from the King of Ashantee,
and various curiosities from the Celestial empire, and
elegant bijouteries manufactured at the mission stations
in France, adorn the counters of the fair show-women,
who are not deficient in the fascinating arts by which
the attendants at fashionable bazaars succeed in putting
off their wares. The bazaar is considerably enriched by
several rare and curious collections of entomological and
mineralogical specimens collected by missionaries in:
distant • cLuntries, and scientifically classified and
arranged: Amongst the articles that excited the greatest
interest, were several manuscript sermons and autograph
paraphrases of texts of Scripture, by the Rev. John
Wesley. and his 6i-other Charles. An exquisite minia-
ture, painted and presented to the charity, by Miss Dut-
ton, was sold for ten guineas at Mrs. Bunting's stall. It•
is a faithful and highly finished copy of a likeness of'
Mrs. Susannah Wesley, the mother of John Wesley. She
was the daughter of Dr. Annesly; one of the most
eminent of the Non-Conformist ministers ejected from
the Church. Mrs. Wesley was a woman of remarkably
powerful intellect, and it is largely to be ascribed to the
vigour of character displayed by her in the early disci •
pline of her numerous family, under the most adverse
circumstances, that the founders of Methodism were
enabled to fulfil with such zeal and earnestness their
important mission ; and that they, with the other
branches of the family, attained a high reputation ifs
distinguished scholars.
The sale has been numerously and fashionably at-
tended, and the articles appeared to find ready par-
chasers
.at good prices; but such was the abundance of
the supply, that the managers have resolved to keep it
open till Thursday.

FREEMAN DYING INTESTATE.
The following certificate, signed by all the members

answered in the certificate was argued upon for two days
by two gentlemen of the bar on each side

child that dies an infant, survives among the other child-

come, under the age of twenty-one years, and that if there
be an accumulation of interest upon the orphanage share,
the accumulation survives in the same manner as the
orphanage share. All which we humbly submit to your
Honour.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.
CITY, TUESDAY EVENING.
SUN.—The English Funds improved slightly towards
the close of business, and the market closed firmly with
every indication of a further advance ;' Consols being

Merchants are quite on the qui vice for the letters by
the India mail, the arrival of which at Marseilles on
Sunday was noticed in The Sun of this evening. They
may possibly be delivered to-morrow morning, but
the time usually occupied for the passage through
France renders it more probable that it may be
Thursday before they will be received. The " post
estafette generally takes 104 hours for the journey
between Marseilles and Calais, and by which they
are usually forwarded, if the contents be only of
ordinary importance. Should the intelligence be of
great interest, or in cases of emergency, a courier
is employed who accomplishes the distance in 64 hours.
It is expected that this dispatch will be of consequence,
and likely to bring intelligmee of great extent from
China, where, from the last disp,7tches it is likely that
some extensive operations have takti Ace.

:THE MAGAZINES,

WE-TROPOLITAN MAGAZINE. \
This Magazine reached us at so late an hour thati
we must content ourselves with just, glancing at its
contents. There are several prose tales in the Number,
and one or two pleasing bits of versification ; but, on
the whole, there is too little variety. " Savindroog "
is the best story in the Number.

DUBLIN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE.
" Jack Hinton, the Guardsman," continues his
Military reminiscences this month, and, as usual, re-
lates them with spirit and humour. There is a dash-
ing, off-hand air about him, that proves him to be a
genuine Patlander, and the apparent truth and
earnestness of his narrative greatly interest us in it.
"Nuts and Nutcrackers" is a collection of miscel-
laneous remarks, chiefly suggested by the passing
topics of the day. Some of them are lively and
satirical; and some distinguished by sober good, sense.
The "Memoir of the Bishop of Exeter" seems to be
penned by one who is perfectly familiar with the par-
ticulars of the Right Rev. Prelate's public career. It
is highly eulogistic, as might be expected from such a
determined Tory periodical as the Dublin University.

LLOYDS' SHIPPING

On Wednesday, a, Susan Taylor, a girl of about
twelve years old, was nursing at a house in Bowling, with a
small tin whistle in her mouth, she unfortunately got the
whistle into ,her throat, and would undoubtedly have bee
choked, but for the hole in the middle of the whistle, which
permitted her in some degree to respire. The edge lacerated
her throat, but she soon after swallowed the *lliStleJ and i 6 now
