Respectable people dare not deal with them.
Mr. Ride said Mr. Johnson was not a party man. The
attack was made upon his premises simply because he had
voted for Mackenzie and Turner.
The Coroner said he hoped the feeling against the
parties would now subside. He, however, had no power
to interfere in the matter.

The Jury havingconslierel their verdict, the foreman
said they found that Patrick Bulger died from a wound in
the head, but how inflicted there was no evidence to show.
They also added that they were of opinion that the con-
duct of the police had been such as to merit their entire
satisfaction, not only on this but on other occasions.
The Coroner expressed his satisfaction with the decision
of the Jury, and said he would forward their presentment
to Captain Greig.

THE MEMBERS FOR THE CITY.—It i 3 not generally
known that the four representatives of the City of Lon-
don, on the first clay of every new parliament, are dressed
in scarlet gowns, and sit all together on the right hand of
the chair in the House of Commons, next the speaker.
The custom is in full force, and was carried out on the
first day of the last parliament, as doubtless it will be on
the assembling of the new parliament. Baron Roths-
child, therefore, is one of these representatives of the
people who, if he pleases, may not only demand the seat
in the house to which he has been elected, but also a seat
of state on the right hand of the speaker on the first day
of the new session.
POLITICAL CONSISTENCY.—A venerable red reverend
official of the diocese of Durham, who has snug quarters
and many good things within the College, University, and
Cathedral, gave a plumper vote last week for Lord -Adol-
phus Vane, the Conservative candidate for that city, and
this week the same distinguished and well-endowed indi-
vidual is figuring as a member of Sir George Gsey's Com-
mittee in North Northumberland, where Liberalism is
sought to be promoted and upheld. Another highly-be-
neficed reverend gentiernaniin the College is pursuing a
course scarcely more consistent. But, such erratic conduct
does not alone mark a few of the clerical body. Amongst
the few attendants on the Liberal candidates at the
nomination at Hexham, on Tuesday, were two grave county
gentlemen of rank and distinction, who, whatever their
votes in the southern division, are said to be prepared to
attend and stand by Conservatism in the north next
week. We shall see. The public like fair play and con-
sistency of conduct, and the individuals referred to must
not be surprised if they are no longer looked up to as
guides and teachers.-,Newcastle Journal.
THE LATEST CASE OF MONOMANIA.---A very " fast"
young gentleman, who fancied himself a pendulum, and
always went upon tick, went on so long that he never
discovered his delusion until he found a turnkey, by
whom he was carefully wound up in the Queen's Bench.
A MAGNIFICENT ORIENTAL.—The king was about
the most gorgeous, and yet nearly the most absurd, indi-
vidual I ever saw. All the effect of his magnificent robes
and jewels was injured, not to say spoilt, by the ridiculous
addition of a 42d Highlander's bonnet and plumes, which
he wore with an air as if he really thought he had " done
it now." Besides the usual black feathers, he had added
a bird-of-paradise plume to one side of it, the whole effect
being supremely ridiculous. In other respects, with his
yellow and gold dress, and blue velvet mantle powdered
with gold fieurs-de-lis, his splendid jewelled chains, and
his gold embroidered slippers, he was the most gorgeously
got up" individual I ever saw. The chains he wore,
three or four in number, were something like the collars
of different orders of knighthood, but one mass of pearls
or other precious stones. Besides these he had strings
of jewels of immense size banging about his elbows, an
attendant walking close behind him on each side to'hold
them, for fear they should break off. In fact, as he stood,
I should think he would have been cheap at £lOO,OOO.—

_ .....
Music IN EVERYTHIN(..--" A very sensible living
writer on Musical Subjects, carries his harmonic investi-
gation throughout the circumstances of his daily life, and
finds music where nobody else would think of lookillg for
it. He will determine the pitch, not only of the whirl of
the grind-stone, and the drone of the spinning-wheel
—the whistle of the wind in the key-hole, and the cl'ck of
the clock—but will also name the note of the hoarse
thunder crash and the tempestuous gust ; and, haring as-
signed its place in the scale to every sound that accom-
panies the movement of the noisy world, eved persuades
himself that silence itself is some mysterious interval
below the pitch of a 32-feet C. Returning home iate one
night, in company of a friend, who communicated the
story, he filled all the pauses of the conversation with these
scientific revelations. It t-as a stormy night, the rain
pattered upon the trees, E flat,' said Mr. —. In a
pause of the storm, an ass was heard to bray ; C natural,'
said the quick-eared sage. The sough of the wind slid
from D natural to a diesis above G sharp. At this crisis,
a tremendous crash was heard ; it was a falling tree.
' That, I think, was as nearly as possible'—and at the same
moment, proceeding heedlessly on in the dark, lie stumbled
over the prostrate branches. As he fell to the ground, he
uttered a loud ' ugh" B flat said his friend, and no
mistake.' You're wrong ; B sharp,' said the fallen zuel;
' help me up.' "

A BALL IN CHINA.—At another time and in P not he r
part of the room, the tails of two of the Chinese, as they
passed one another, back to back, hooked together : per-
haps by the strings that tied them. While the gentlemen
butted forward with their heads after the manner of rams,
to dissolve their involuntary partnership, their chosen
partners ran into each other's arms, and whirled on in the
waltz without them. Becoming by degrees a little 0-ed,
I slipped behind the pillars for rest. Here I observed
neat little tables in front of luxurious sofas, on which
several Celestials reclined at their full length, smoking
opium. They appeared to be in a delicious state of dreami-
ness, imagining themselves, perhaps, in the vicinity of
the Lake of Lilies, with orange and tea-trees blossoming
around them. Near these, were two or three Hindoos
smoking the hookah ; in their neighbourhood a solitary
Turk, who bore in his countenance an expression of in-
finite disdain for the infidels of all colours whom he saw
around him. As I had recently come from his part of the
world, I accosted him at once ; and great was his delight,
_when he heard a greeting in the language of Stamboul.
The whole economy of his features immediately under-
Went a complete change. He world gladly have prolonged
Our conversation until morning, bad I not been reminded
of an engagement to waltz with a hour' from
Dickens's Household Words.

COUNTY COURT, YESTERDAY.

His Honour, Joseph Pollock, Esq., sat yesterday, for
the purpose of disposing of a number of adjourned cases,
and also insolvencies.

LEVY V. HUNT.—This was an action brought by Mr.
Bernard Levy, cigarmanufacturer, against Mr. Hunt,of the
Star Hotel, to recover the sum of £l2, being the value of
twenty pounds of cigars. The case had been partly heard
on a previous day, but was adjourned to afford parties an
opportunity of adducing further evidence. This day Mr.
Grocott called two witnesses in confirmation of a boy who
bad sworn to the delivery of the cigars, but they could not
distinctly fix the date, which was the material point. On
the side of the defendant, Mr. Hime called a witness for
the purpose of contradicting the other side. His Honour
said the evidence was of such a doubtful nature that he
felt bound to give the defendant the benefit of the doubt
he entertained, and ordered a non-suit to be entered.

QUESTION OF TRADING.—His Honour gave judgment
in a case which had been heard before him on a former
day. A Miss Sarah Lyons, alias West, alias Watson of
14, Great Russell-street,lodginghouse-keeper, had applied
to the court for relief from her liabilities under the In-
solvency Act. She was supported by Mr. Simon, and
opposed by Mr. Cross, on two grounds—first, that the
insolvent being a lodginghouse-keeper was a trader, and,
therefore, the court was ousted of its jurisdiction ; and,
secondly, that she had given a fraudulent preference. A
number of cases were cited by Mr. Cross in favour of his
first objection. Mr. Simon, contra, contended that the
cases produced by Mr. Cross had been overruled by more
recent decisions, and handed a number of cases to his
Honour.—The learned Judge having taken time to con-
sider his judgment, said, he was of opinion the cases cited
by Mr. Cross had not been overruled by more recent
decisions ; and as he was of opinion that the petitioner,
who kept a house of a certain description, and supplied
her lodgers with provisions, was a trader within the
meaning of the bankruptcy laws, the petitioner must be
dismissed.

MANCHESTER INDEPENDENT REGISTRATION Asso-
CIATION.—On Wednesday, a very full meeting (called
by circular) of gentlemen who formed the Manchester
Independent Election Committee at the late borough
election, was held at the committee-rooms, Piccadilly, to
take into consideration a proposal to form an association
for the purpose of attending to the register of voters for
the borough. It was stated that many dissenters, who
had been prominent in their protests against papal
aggression, and many churchmen, and other gentlemen of
influence in the town, who had not been backward in
their expressions of hatred to league domination, had held
aloof in a manner but little creditable to them. Not-
withstanding the late defeat, an unanimous feeling was
expressed, that unceasing exertions should be employed
to uproot the league and its influence in the borough, and
that the register of voters should be properly attended to,
as well as municipal elections, and no longer be left in
the hands of the party who had hitherto tampered with
them. A properly organised movement was determined
upon, and subseriptioas to a large amount were at once
entered into, and the meeting shortly after adjourned.

LAMENTABLE CONDITION OF A ONCE-CELEBRATED
ACTRESS.—On Friday Maria Anne Prina, who about 25
years ago was, when Miss Heaiey, a very clever comic ac-
tress and vocalist, was brought before the sitting magis-
trate, at Marylebone Pclice•court, London, charged by
police-constable Crowley, 229 D, who on the previous
night, at twelve o'clock, found her lying in a state of in-
toxication in the Edgeware-road. Evidence in support of
the charge was gone into, and it was shewn that while
the prisoner was locked up in the station-house cell she
took off her garters, which she tied tightly round her
neck, and she would certainly have taken away her life
had not Horford, 382 D, opened the door at a period when
she was quits insensible and black in the face, as though
she were in the a.;;onies of death. She was properly at-
tended to, and after some time she in a measure reeo-
conered..—The prisoner, who had been frequently charged

with this fact. Cupid's quiver must be exhausted, or his

think that a rea:iy in love, one who bore the evident
symptoms of the malady would be thought very improper;
yet I have often fancied that there must he a man born in
the world for every woman ; one whom to see would be to
love. to reverence, to adore; one with whom her sym-
pathies would so entirely blend that she would recognise
him at once as her true lord. Now and then these pairs
come together ; and woe to her who meets this other self
too late ! Women would be more humble and more
merciful if they did not, through ignorance and thought.
lessness, measure the temptation of others by their ohs
experience.—Adventures of a Beauty.

MORALITY OF POLTRY.—" Poetry," says Sir Philip
Sidney, "doth not only show the way, but giveth so
sweet a prospect of the way as will entice any man to
enter into it; nay the poet doth, as if your journey
should be through a fair vineyard, at the very first give
you a cluster of grapes, that, full of that taste, you may
long to pass further. He ber,-inneth not wit!: obz?,,ure
definitions, but he cometh to you -.7ith words set in de-
lightful proportion, eitaer accompanied with, or prepared
for, the well-enchanting skill of music ; and with a tale ;
he cometh unto yr..,ri Tnt.lll a tale, which holdeth children
from play, and old men from the chimney-corner. Even
those hard-hearted evil men who think virtue a school-•
name, and despise the ausi:ere admonitions of the phi-
losopher, and feel not tile inward reasons they stand upon,
yet will be content to be delighted ; which is all the good
fellow poet seems to promise ; and so steal to see the form
of goodness ; which seen, they cannot but love, ere them-
selves be aware, as if they took a medicine of cherries. *
* Nature never set forth the earth in so rich tapestry as
divers poets have done, neither with so pleasant rivers,
fruitful trees, sweet-smelling flowers, nor whatsoever may
make the earth more lovely. The world is a brszen
world—the poets- only deliver a golden ; which whosoever
dislike, the fault is in their judgment, quite out of taste,
and not in the sweet food of sweetly-uttered knowledge."

NEAPOLITAN SERVA.NTS.--1 ezreatest familiaritypre-
veils between masters and servants. The former often
joke and laugh with the latter, and talk confidentially of
their affairs and intrigues before them ; some even play at
cards with them ; it is natural, therefore, to expect no re-
verence from domestics who are the confidants of all their
master's foibles or vices. This renders Neapolitan ser-
vants perhaps the very worst in the world. They are dirty,
lazy, and carders, insolent and unfaithful. They are in
general notoriously dishonest, so as to steal the paltriest
things that fall in their way. Most of them, especially
when out of livery, would think it beneath them to carry
a bundle, or anything in their hands through the streets,
and will actually refuse to do so, and employ a porter for
the purpose. Gambling, sleeping, and defaming their
masters, are the pastimes in which they spend the greater
part of the day, while loitering in idleness in the ante-
rooms. By their means, all the secrets of their masters
and mistresses are made known to the world. Still the
difficulty of finding better servants, and the danger of
changing for the worse, make their employers put up with
them. If threatened to be turned out, they answer with
the greateot impudence that their masters will not be
the better by the change ; it is a general saying amongst
them, that they can give the law to their masters. Fo-
reigners generally provide themselves. withiervants from
the north of Italy, who have a better reputation for
honesty ;. most of the custom-house porters are from that
part of the country.—Southern Rally.

THE CAPITAL OF THE PTOLEMIES. At last they
reached the quay at the opposite end of the street; and
there burst on Philammon's astonished eyes a vast semi.
circle of blue sea, ringed with palaces and towers. . . .
He stopped involuntarily; and bis little guide stopped
also, and locked askance at the young monk, to watch
the effect which that great panorama should produce on
him. " There !—Behold our works ! Us Greeks !
us benighted heathens ! Look at it. and feel yourself
what you are, a very small, conceited, ignorant young
person, who fancies that your new religion gives
you a right to despise, escry one else. Did Chris-
tians make all this ? Did Christians build that pharos
there on the left horn—wonder of the world ? Did
Christians raise that mile-long mole which runs
towards the land, with its two draw-bridges connecting
the two ports? Did. Christians build this es;lanade, or
this gate of the sun above oar hectic ? Or that Cresa-
reurn on our right here? Look at those obelisks bof,)re
it !" and he pointed upwards to those two world-famous
ones, one of which still lies on its ancient site, as Cleo-
patra's needle. " Look up ! look ul_,, I say, and feel
gfOS"

•
cry small indeed ! Did Christians raise them, oi
engrave them from base to point, with the wisdom of
the ancients ? Did Christians build that museum next to it,
or design its statues and its frescoes—now, alas! re-echoing
no more to the humMings of the Attic bee Did they
pile up out of the waves that palace beyond it, or that
exchange, or fill that temple of Neptune with breathing
brass and blushing marble ? Did they build that Timo-
nium on the point where Antony, worsted at Actium, for-
got his shame in Cleopatra's arms ? Did they quarry out
that island of Antirrhodus into a nest of docks, or cover
those waters with the sails of every nation under heaven ?
Speak ! Thou son of bats and moles—thou six feet of
sand—thou mummy of the cliff caverns ! Can monks do
works I;.!te these ?" Other men have laboured, and we
have entered into their labours,' answered Philammon,
trying to seem as unconcerned as he could. He was, in-
deed, too utterly astonished to be angry at anything. The
