square, Whitechapel, London.
In the pottery districts, and in Nottingham and Leices-
ter, the manufacturers are full of orders ; in f -ct, there is
a scarcity of workmen, partly owing, no doubt, to emi-
gration.
HUNGARIAN REFUGEES.—On Monday, the Join Bull
steam-packet arrived at St. Katherine's Docks, from Ham-
burg, bringing with her the following distinguished Hun-
garians :—General Klapka and servant ; M. Fornet, Be-
rauyi, Kamvessy, Uhaze, Bandezza, and Ahednyanszky.
A reputed " old witch" died recently at Fife, after
having enjoyed the perquisite of a fish from every fisher-
man who desired good fortune: and on searching her
dwelling 2000 sixpences, 1020 shillings, 9 sovereigns, £7
in hank notes, and £4O were discovered.
The supplies of poultry from Belgium at the present
time to the metropolis are particularly large. The steam
ship Triton, just arrived from Ostend, has brought 113
cases of poultry of various kinds, including large quanti-
ties of rabbits, which abound in that country.
EXTRAORDINARY MATCH.—At Newmarket Houghton
races, last week, the match between Lord H. Lennox's
Bee-Hunter, and Lord Airlie's Clincher, for £20,000,
came off; and, after one of the most exciting struggles
ever witnessed, ended in a dead heat.
MEMORY.—There is a Devonshire gentleman in the
Custom-house, London, who, it is said, can tell where any
ship that may be named out of 2000, hails from, and in
what port she is registered. He comes originally from
Tiverton.
At Leeds, last week, an old man, who was supposed to
have died of cholera, was about to be deposited in his
coffin, when, to the dismay of the bystanders, he started
up and exclaimed, " Nay, I'm not going to stand that
nother." The poor fellow died in reality shortly after-
wards.
CHANGE OF FORTUNE.—On Thursday morning last, a
poor man named Wynne, residing in Lower Bridge...street.
Chester, received intelligence of a long absent brother
being at: the point of death, under whose will Wynne was
constituted heir to ao a.tata ia Baaaaa kyr,. ouluod
£12,000.
On the 12th of June last, four whaling ships—the Supe-
rior, of Peterhead, the Lady Jane, of Newcastle, the
Prince of Wales, of Hull, and an American ship, the
M`Lellan, of New London, were totally wrecked in Mel-
ville Bay, Davis' Straits. Providentially, not a single life
was lost.
A memorial to the India-house was last week agreed to
by the Manchester Chamber of Commerce, in favour of
Mr. Bourne's plan for navigating the rivers of India by
steamers with their burden so distributed as to draw only
twelve inches of water. A similar memorial has also
lately been transmitted by the leading merchants at
Aberdeen.
SPIRIT DRINKING IN THE UNITED KINGDOM.—From
the excise returns, lately issued, the following summary of
the consumption of spirits in the three kingdoms, for the
half year ending July 5, is taken :—England, 4,107,000
gals. ; Scotland, 3,239,000 ; Ireland, 3,091,000—making
a total of 10,437,000 gala.—giving an annual consumption
to each individual of the population, according to the
census of 1841, of, in England four pints ; Ireland, six
pints ; Scotland, twenty pints.
Thomas Maguire, the Irishman, who was certainly
robbed and supposed to have been murdered at Chelsea,
has re-appeared. A reward had been offered for the dis-
covery of his body, hut he was recognised at Deptford, by
an acquaintance. lie stated to the police, that the rob-
bery was committed by Mrs. M'Donald, and that when he
discovered his loss he rushed from the neighbourhood in
a state of frenzy, and cared not where he went or what
became of him.
SECOND GREAT TEMPERANCE MEETING.—The second
great public meeting in furtherance of the diffusion of
temperance principles among the people of this country
took place on Monday at Exeter Hall. The hall was ex-
ceedingly well filled. The 117th Psalm having been sung
by the meeting, John Cassell, Esq., took the chair and
proceeded to open the business of the meeting. Among
the speakers were the Rev. E. Bickersteth and other
clergymen.
MILITARY RIOT.—At Newport, Monmouthshire, on
the evening of the 22nd inst., from thirty to forty privates
of the 14th regiment got intoxicated in one of the beer-
shops in that town. On their leaving the house, they
grossly insulted every person they met, inflicting with
their cross-belts tremendous blows, and completely cleared
the streets. These attacks were ultimately subducel by
the police, but not before several respectable inhabitants
had been very much injured.
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.—On Monday night a fire broke
out in the model establishment of baths and washhouses,
Whitechapel, London, by which the large drying house
and all that it contained (filled with towels left by poor
women to dry) were destroyed, as were also the mangling
and ironing compartments. Some of the private baths
were likewise very much damaged. The premises were
fortunately insured, but the loss and inconvenience to the
poor in the neighbourhood will be great.
AN AUCTIONEER AND HIS CLIENT.—At Morptli, the
other day, a local George Robin?, in putting up a few old
houses in the town or sale by auction, took arcasion to
speak in such glowing terms of the advantages of the pro-
perty, that the vendor, an old man, who was sitting by,
cried out. " Come, come, there is no occasion for all that ;
my property should be sold first." The old man had
been unable to identify his old houses by the auctioneer's
eulogistic description of them, and kicked the bottom out
of it.
A LADY'S POCKET PICKED OF £loo.—Early on Mon-
day the wife of Mr. 11111, the architect, Birmingham, pat
into her purse Bank of England notes to the amount of
£4OO, far the purpose of taking them to her husband's
office, in order that they iniAt be ultimately placed to
his credit at the bank. On her wet to New-street, how-
ever, accompanied by her little boy, she had occasion to
go through the Market-hall, and, shortly after quitting
the vicinity of the Bull-ring, she found that her purse,
with its £lOO, had vanished.
GOVERNMENT BRIBES.—Our readers are aware that
the extended desecration of the Sabbath in the London
Post-office commenced on Sunday. The authorities in
that establishment having failed in tempting their officers
to break the law of God, by offering them 10s. a-day for
the act of desecration, next comnianded them to break
the holy commandment, however their consciences might
then. by he offended. Some of them have obeyed man,
and gone. Others have rather obeyed God, and refused
to go. We shall mark how the Government act towards
the latter in cons+ qIIeTICO.—ROC6rd.
ARTESIAN WELLS.--A co.reseotident o the Times
says—There is a fact connected with the artesian wells of
London which is not generally known. It is this :—For
the last 28 years the water has been getting lower and
lower, at the speed of two feet per annum ; in some cases,
recently, it has been observed to be four feet. In other
words, while the water in all the deep-spring wells in
London, at the time mentioned, ranged with the level of
Trinity high-water mark, the same wells now, (notwith-
standing the frequent extra sinkings and borings which
have been going on to improve the same,) cannot yield
their supply of water so high by sixty feet.
COLLISION AND Loss OF LIFE.—On Sunday "a fatal
collision happened about nine miles north-east of Botchy
Head. The unfortunate occurrence took place between
the barque Mary, a large American vessel, and the brig
Greyhound, from Stockton to Exeter, heavily laden. It
appears they sighted each other at about three o clock,
the wcather somewhat hazy, when shortly after, by some
mismanagement, they came in contact with fearful force,
the Araerican barque cutting the brig down to the water's
edte, and sweeping away both masts. She sank almost
immediately, only a portion of the crew having time to
escape on board of the barque ; the remainder were either
killed below, or were carried down by the sinking vessel.

SIR /OMNI FRANKLIN AND THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION%
—The lords of the admiralty received, on Saturday after-
noon, communications from Dundee, dated October 26th,
of the arrival of the whaling ship Advice, Captain Penny,
from Davies Straits, in the roads off that port the night
previous. Up to the departure of the vessel, eight weeks
since, Captain Penny had been in communication With the
natives, but could not obtain the slightest information of
the arctic expedition. Another whaler, the St. Andrew,
had also arrived at Aberdeen, which had had a quick pas-
sage from the straits in five weeks. She was unable to

gait, any tidings.
At Messrs. Ransome and May's establishment, Ipswich,
the site of a Workman's Hall has been determined upon,
and the money is now ready to build it. It will cost
about £l,OOO. There will be forty dormitories for single
men and lads, which will be let at Is. 6d. a-week, inclu-
ding attendance; there will be a large room, for evening
resort, a workman's drawing-room, a library, and reading-
rooms. The building will he fitted up with baths. There
will be a resident matron and mistress ; a kitchen, and a
cook. The privileges of the hall will be available to every
workman upon the establishment, upon paying a subscrip-

tion of one shilling a-quarter.
A WOMAN SHOT.—George Harman, a gas-stoker, of
Ore, near Hastings, went to his work on Monday week,
leaving a loaded gun with which he had been shooting
starlings, in one corner of his kitchen. Before leaving the
house, he cautioned his wife that the weapon was loaded,
and desired her to forewarn their lodger of it when be re-
turned from his work. She appears to have forgotten to do
so, and an accident, fatal to herself, was the consequence.
The lodger, a railway labourer, who was on excellent
terms with his landlord and landlady, had scarcely re-
turned home, and sat down to tea, when he began to play
with the barrel of the gun, and, lifting it from the ground.
got it entangled in the bar of a chair, so as to pull the
trigger. The unfortunate woman received the whole
charge in her head, and died almost instantly.
iMMENSE TAKE OF Fisn.—During the last week, both
the Yarmouth and North of England fishing boats which
follow the shoals of herrings have been laden to a most
extraordinary degree—particularly with herrings, soles,
and codfish—the herring boats each having from 10 to 20
lasts (10,000 to the last,) or from 100,000 to 200,000 fish
on board. So many were there for sale on Friday and
Saturday, that the curers could not take half the quantity,
although they were offered, in some instances, for less
than the harbour dues ; they had, therefore, to be sold to
hucksters at any price they would obtain, tens of thou-
sands being thrown overboard. Fresh herrings at Is. per
swill of 500, some at even less; slightly cured, known as
Yarmouth bloaters. at from Is. to ls. 6d. per hundred,
basket included, fine fish. Soles at 6d. per score, weigh-
ing from 111 b. to 21b. per pair. Codfish, weighing from
10Ib. to 121 b. each, for from 6d. to 9d. per lb.
THE PUFF POPISH.—As a specimen of the style in
which the Romanists recommend their holy works to
their people, we give the following advertisement, which
appears in last week's Tablet :—" Church of Our Ladye,
Star of the Sea.* * *—Contributions for the completion
of this Church are earnestly solicited. We have advanced
a great way—for small means we have done much. The
tower with its turrets is finished, and a large portion of
its spire, but as we cannot incur debt, our work must soon
stop if aid he denied us. Stella Maris, succurre ca-
denti .0 We last week sounded for a bell. As yet no
friend has chimed in. Still we have hopes those silvery
notes will sound those evening chimes. The rule screen is
still an open question here. Fire has elicited smoke, hut
conviction comes of money. How logically would some
£3OO conclude this controversy of taste. Come, Media-
valists, pluck up—no, pluck down—show your metal."
PEACH CONGRESS.—A meeting was held in Exeter
Hall, on Tuesday ; Mr. Ewart in the chair. A large num-
ber of foreigners appeared upon the platform, among
whom were many distinguished Frenchmen, who had
come over by special invitation to take part in the meet-
ing. The greatest possible interest was excited by the
announcement that Gen.Klapka and M. Übaze, the civil
governor of Comorn, and several other Hungarian refu-
gees, were present. They took their seats beside the
chairman amidst enthusiastic applause. Several speeches
were delivered. Those which excited the greatest interest
were given by R. Cobden, Esq., M.P., Samuel Gurney,
Esq., the Rev. W. Brook, and several members of the
French deputation. The hall was crowded to its utmost
capacity, and the proceedings passed off with the greatest
possible eclat. Upwards of 1,500 persons were refused
admittance.
FREE TRADE AND PRICES.—The number of oxen and
cows imported into the port of London last week was
1,448. There were also 152 calves imported, and 4,254
sheep. The competition from comparatively poor coun-
tries, where a, little money goes a great way, tells very
seriously upon the profits of home producers. Whatever
butchers may charge to the consumers, the prices paid to
the cattle owners at Smithfield have greatly fallen off.
The beasts at market last Monday were in number 5,220,
and many of them were driven away unsold. The num-
ber exceeded by 842 the beasts at market on the corres-
ponding Monday of 1848; and by 1,570 the number on
the corresponding Monday of 1847. Prices have fallen in
proportion. On Monday last the market price of beef in
Smithfield was 2s. 4d. to 35. 4d. per Blbs. ; in 1848 it
was 3s. 4d. to 4s. ; in 1847 it was 3s. 6cl. to 4s. 10d.
Thus it is '!.down corn, down corn," indeed. How is the
English farmer to live ?—Post.
SUPPLY OF MILK TO LONDON.—The London and
North-Western Company hay e made arrangements for the
carriage of milk from 'Willesden, Sudbury, Pinner, Avles.
bury, and other numerous places on their line. They
to bring it for min nnnnv a sallou from Willesden
and other places classed. Milk sells in Lonpon for is. 4d.
a gallon. We do not know exactly the price of milk in the
several places named ; but, judging from the price of it
in other country places, we should say it is not higher
than eightpence a gallon, or half the London price. The
cost of carriage will admit of a large profit in London,
even under reduced London prices. Farmers and cow-
keepers will find an inexhaustible market for their milk, '
at a price which, before the existence of the arrangement
just made, they could not hope to obtain ; and the inha-
bitants of the metropolis will have the advantage of hav-
ing country supplies as though they were living in the
country.—Herapath's Journal.
THE MILITARY RIOT AT NOTTINGHAM.—This trouble-
some affair is now taking another turn. About nine
o'clock on Saturday night, Private Broker, who was not
implicated in any way in the charge of insubordination,
went up to Policeman Gascoigne whilst on duty at the
top of ..lumber-street. After looking at the policeman's
number, he exclaimed, " Oh, you are one of the
that assisted in taking our men up a few days ago ;" and
flaying unbuttoned his jacket, began to strike right and
left at the policeman. The latter defended himself with
a stick as well as he could, and, having charged some by-
standers to assist, ultimately succeeded in conveying the
soldier to the police office ; but not until he had received
a black eye and had his legs sadly cut by the prisoner,
who kicked backwards at him with his spurs as they were
walking together along the street. The affair had very
nearly caused a regular row, many people being collected
during the conflict, some of whom arrayed themselves on
the side of the soldier and others on that of the police,
and showed a ready desire to make a disturbance.
How THE TIMES GETS ITS INFORMATION.—Apropos
of the Times I just mentioned : the elaborate pains
taken by this journal to represent trade as improving in
Paris is intended as a flattery to President Bonaparte and
his governnu nt. It is for the same reason that the
honest thunderer represents every matter in the Bona-
partist and governmental point de vue, and calumniates
every man and every party that is opposed thereto. It
is a mistake, however, to suppose, as is done in England,
that direct pecuniary means are employed by the French
government to secure the support or employed
of the
Times; the Times takes it out in early information.
" Let me know what is passing before any other journal,
and I'm for you !" is what the Times always says. It
said so to Guizot, then to Lamartine, then to Cavaignac,
then to Louis Bonaparte. No doubt it has said the same
thing at. Vienna and at Naples; and it was by the same
means that it got its information from the French at
Rome. This is advantageous to the Times, hut it does
not benefit the public.—Paris Correspondent of the
Britannia.
CURIOUS FREAKS.—A gentleman, named Randall, a
solicitor, in Southampton, was in ie habit of taking a
tour every year, which occupied him between two and
three months. He would leave Southampton suddenly,
scarcely acquainting his confidential clerks that he was
going, and no one would know anythi.ig about him, until
his clerks would receive a letter from him dated perhaps
from St. Petersburgh or Vienna. About two months
since he left Southampton suddenly and secretly, accord.
ing to his usual practice, and no one knew of his where.
about until his clerks received a letter about a fortnight
since from him from Canada. Since which, information
has been received that Mr. Randall was taken ill of cho
lc ra, died and was buried in twelve hours in America.
Had he died a day before no one in this country would
probably have ever heard anything about his decease;
but he happened to have been introduced to some one
about a day before he was taken ill, which person attended
him in his illness, and has written to Southampton the
particulars of his death. Mr. Randall was one of the
most talented men in his profession in the south of Eng-
land. He was unmarried, and about forty-five years of
are. He was a great connois,eur iii pictures, and his col-
lection is said to be worth £20,000. Mr. Randall has
died wealthy, and has left a large portion of his property
to charities and schools in Southampton.
HIGHWAY ROBBERY IN CUMBERLAND.—On Saturday
cvening last, about seven o'clock, as Joseph Little, of
Iloueliton, was returning home, atter attending the Hemp.
ton fair, three men and a boy sprang from the hedge-side,
a short distance beyond the lode gate at the entrance to
Rickerby Holme, and knocking him down, rifled his
pockets, and abstracted 4s. 6d. in silver, aft w coppers.
and a handkerchief. Ile feueht with the robbers as well
as he could, but with such odds against him, was, of
course, easily overpowered. When he was attempting to
use his stick, one of them, finding all other attempts so
wrest it from him faultless, pulled out a knife, and
smashed his thumb nearly in two. The fellows then,
hearing two men approaching decamped—in which direc-
tion Little was unable to perceive, owing to the darkness
of the night. With the assistance of two men who came
up to him, he succeeded in walking to the Boot Inn,
Houghton, whence lie was conveyed home, in a cart, in a
faint and exhausted state. Medical assistance was pro-
cured with as little delay as possib!e, and every means
used to avert dangerous consequences. The unfortunate
man believes he can identify the man who maltreated him,
who, as well, as his companions, spoke an Irish brogue ;
but no trace of them has as yet been obtained.— Carlisle
Journal.
SINGULAR ATTEMPT TO MURDER A CHlLD.—Great
excitement has prevailed in the neialibourhood of Merthyr
since the 18th inst., in consequenCe of the following dia-
bolical attempt to murder a child having been made by a
single woman, named Ann Williams,mother of the infant.
It appears that on the 17th inst. Daniel Davies, one of
the gamekeepers to William Craveshaw, Esq. whilst
going his round at a place called Gornos, on his master's
estate, had his attention attracted by a noise, which he
at first imagined proceeded from a. hare in a trap, but

on paying more attenttim, he found it to be the c°if
of a child.. He looked round, and, after some SO
he discovered a portion of a child's dress protrall
from a rabbit hole, which was covered up with Int 4
and leaves. On removing the rubb sh, he found,
in the hole, head foremost, a fine infant child, about
weeks old. It was crying strongly, and its limbs We',
black and blue with cold. He immediately took the Pn;
child out, and handed it over to Mrs. Haryard,
the
of the head keeper, who took it home, gave it a In"—,
bath, and by other kind treatment, saved its life. In
,letei
oration having been given to the police, they 89certai q
n
that a young female had left Dowlais on the Tuestil
morning, having a child with her. The child found 111;
it
ing been shown to her late landlady, she identified .„,
having been the one the female left with. Search 1101;
been made in all directions for this party, she was,
length apprehended by police-constable Rees, st Glyn
Cywr, near Bridgend. Upon the constable informing 10
of the nature of the charge against her, she pretended _
know nothing about the affair, but on her way hackle
Merthyr she admitted that she placed the child in
rabbit warren, and said her reason for so doing Was t'd
she had no means to support it. The prisoner 01
that the child must have been left exposed in the hole t le.
whole of one night and the greater portion of two dar
She was fully committed to take her trial.
