PROSPECTS OF PANMAIA.—We take the foll'owing•from
the San Francisco Herall of the 23d March There
is every probability of the Panama Railroad being com-
pleted, as promised, by,the end of the present year.
number of steam lines, ,in addition to those already in
operation, will by that time converge on the Isthmus, and
swell the tide of population already pouring over it.
Aspinwall is already the terminus of two lines of first-class
steamers from New York.; one from New Orleans ; the
new Cunard line from Liverpool, vi& New York; the
Royal Mail Steamship line direct from Southampton:; the
new British line from New York, via' Savannah, Bermuda,
andiamaica. In addition to these, a French company,
under the auspices of the Government, are building a
number of steamers to run between Cherbourg and Aspin-
wall.; two English corn panics are about to put on lines
from 'ranama to Australia—making no less than nine lines
of first.o:ass steamers centring on the Atlantic side of the
Isthmus. From Panama now radiate a line of steamers to
Valparaiso, two lines to San Francisco, and two more are
contemplated to Australia—making five in all. The
Isthmus of Panama alone, then, will, by the time the rail-
road is completed, be the converging point for 14 lines of
steamers."

SINGULAR RESTITUTION.—The enclosed letter has been
received by the Mayor, who has placed the half sovereign
in the poor-box :

" The writer of this was some time ago in Liverpool, and was
reduced to a very destitute condition whilst there. In passing
through some of the graving docks he chanced to see some
pieces of copper sheeting, nails, &c., beneath a vessel under-
going repairs, which he secreted, and afterwards sold at a
marine-store. He did the same five or six times afterwards.
The value, taken in this way, may have amounted to 4s.—at the
utmost, 6s. _

" Anil, for want of having the means to pay for lodging, he
was some nights necessitated to walk the streets, and, whilst
doing, so in the evenings, he met with two or three crocks or
water-pans outside the houses, which he sold in a court, in an
adjoining street, by pretending that his mother was in distress,
and was obliged to sell them, &c. The value, taken in this
way, may have amounted to ls.—at the utmost to is. Cd.
"And, if the writer of this knew either the owner of the pieces
of copper or the pans, he would gladly make restitution ; but, as
be does not, and cannot find them :out, he would be greatly
obliged to the Nialor of Liverpool to have the enclosed half
sovereign disposed of in such a manner as he would think most
suitable, under the circumstances detailed above; and, in case
he did not succeed, to distribute it to a few of the most deserv-
ing, honest poor he knows of, for which favour the writer will
be very thankful."

court. Mr, Hull, solicitor to the bank, recapitulated the
statement made by Mr. Clough last week, and in the
absence of any further evidence the prisoners were re-
manded for seven days. When before the Lord Mayor,
in London, Brown stated that the .E3OO was his own.
A MEETING OF CORN WEIGHERS was held on Friday
at the Tradesman's Club-room, Circus-street, for the
purpose of making final arrangements for a uniformity of
their wages. There was a large attendance. Mr. James
Walsh presided, and introduced the business. He read
the following list of the employers who had consented to
pay 45. per day :—Wm. Healing and Co. ; Pickering
Brothers ; Cunliffe, Paton, and Co. ; A. and G. Martin ;
Grad well and Pyke•, John Doherty ; James Wilson; John
Lynch and Sons ; Hugh Eaton and Co. ; D. J. Fynney ;
Richardson Broters; Ross T. Smyth ; Patterson Bro-
thers ; Charles Campbell ; H. R. Plaw ; John Bald ;
S. R. Graves, George orthwick ; George and S. Pimm ;
Nicholson and M`Gill ; Maxwell Brothers; William
M`Kinstry ; W. and T. Tomlinson ; William Lowe and
Sons •, John Tomlinson ; John and T. Scott ; G. Eggers
and Tetley ' • J. and S. Scott ; T. Mather ; R. Christie;
Verdon and Cullen.—Many energetic speeches were deli-
vered, and ultimately the following resolves were passed :
1. Will you promise to refuse to work for less than four
shillings per day as a corn weigher. 2. Will you promise
not to allow yourself to be lint to a warehouseman while
weighers are on the street seeking employment. 3. Will
you promise not to take the place of any weigher who
may refuse to be lent as above. 4. Will you promise not
to take the place of any weigher or weighers who may
turn out for four shillings per day, and will you refuse to
work in -the firm until the men turning out be re-
employed. 5. Will you promise not to give weights from
your hoo;: to any person who will require them if be does
not have a weigher to take weights as the goods are
weighed. If the demand made, nametT, four shillings per
day, be not conceded, it was resolved that no weigher
should resume work on Monday.

Bt-KNING OF A COTTON Fa-croetv.—The cotton factory
on the North Shore was burnt down on Tuesday night
j last, This building stood alone, vith the exception-of a
few low cottages, and a shed in its vicinity, and could,
I therefore, be seen from every .poisat around as a solitary
I object in the landscape. 'Being, at the same time esxten-
-sive and lofty, and pierced by a hundred windows, it
I facilitated in every way the eetonsion and the intensity
-of the flames. The fire broke out a few minutes after
n;ne o'clock, in the waste mom in the upper story,
and the flames ran rapidly along that floor 'from one
-extremity to the other. T.he presence of cotton, oil,
'twist and other combustible-substances served 'to conduct
the fire from floor to Tooreend in less than half-an-hour
'the flames raged from the basement story to -the roof.
Every window and doorney seemed a furnae.e, and the
whole sky was so brill:antly illuminated, that parties at
George's-hill, Everton, -and New Brighton, 'Cheshire,
-could see to read trsethe light. Nothing could be more
I _grandly beautiful than' the appearance of Everton. Every
house seemed paintedOn golden light, and'the face of the
i 'crowds collected along the rising ground were-quite visible
to those standing on 'the canal banks. Ellie sight was
equally picturesque ire Cheshire ; and in the immediate
vicinity of the fire there could not be less than 100,000
people collected on the elevations, in the open-spaces, and
on the roads arotsnd. Their up turned faces had an
extraordinary appearance, of regret, anxiety, and curiosity.
The police, under' Chief-superintendent 'Ride, and his
inspectors, kept admirable order. No-accident occurred.'
On the first alarm: the engines of thefire police and•the
West of England were on the spot : aredNsir. Duncan was,
one of the first ineattendance. There waa only one small
main at this distance from the town, and there was no
water in the canal-; only a few engines, therefore, could
be worked, and it eras quite unnecessary that there should
be any more, for their limited service was confined to the
preservation of the cotton shed to the,north of the mill
and the adjoining cottages, neither-of which was ever
-really in danger. The firemen, however, acted as if there
was danger ; and lir. Hewitt placed bienself in a position
to preserve this -property under the meat adverse circum-
stances. Theofire in the mill defied opposition ; and the
walls by ten o'clock had partially &lieu, Ever and anon
disturbed flamesehot up momentarily.; but the destruction
by that hour was'camplete, and all further danger removed.
The poor people in the cottages belonging to the mill,
were told in vain that there was no, danger; but they
refused to credit assurances of-safety, and hurried their
little property out of their homes. iThe factory, which
was called thek,Terth Shore-MILL-was originally built in
1836, by Messrs. Turner, Garstaugs erre Newton, and has
r-been working for lfeeteanecnh or

.and Mr. North, of Everton—tolleserseVohn and Alexan-
,• der Brogden, members of the firm of railway contractors
cf that name, vise have worked theceili with spirit ever
-since. The fire . originated in the waste, room ; and was
caused, it is believed, by spontaneous -cenabustion among
-the refuse cotton, used, probably, in-cleansing the ma-
-chinery, and, therefore, saturated .with oil, The hands
had been enjoyissg the Whitsuntide eholidays : the canal,
from which the-steam-engine derived water, being let run
airy, to enable-the Earl of Derby to cagy a sewer under
it at Bootle. ,During the cessation of the machinery,
some repairs and alterations were being done by Mr.
Mackerell; but his men used no lights, and had left at
the usual hour on Tuesday evening. tile cotton-shed
contained about -40,000 worth of cotton,.and, although
the dire-police 'braved the flames resolutely in protect-
ing-it,-there was no danger, for the rind, being easterly,
turned away the ,eiames ; a circumstance which, in
addition to the ;fineness of the night, er:ab:ed the people
of Ere..e-ton to have an admirable view of the devastating
element. The amount of loss has been ,grossly exagge-
rated. The insurances effected on the buildings, machinery,
&c., were for 1:32,00ut ; and, no doubt, this seas the value
estimated on the first cost ; but, as -such ,property has
increased in value within these two years, the loss may be
set down at £40,060. The property is insured in the
following offices £8,000; At1a5,44,,,600; North
British, 5,000; Alliance, £3,000; Royal Exchange, £2,500;
Royal, £1,500; Sun, £1,500 ; County, £1,500e London
Union, 41,500 ; ,Imperial, £1,100; London Assurance,

for 1000 of them have to seek employment elsewhere.
DOCK CaLfUITTEIE.---Mr. Shand presided at the weekly
meeting on Thursday.-The committee of warehouse
management recommended the appointment of
to the office of ledger clerk. Confirmed.—An application
for permission to use a small engine on hoard a steamer in
in one of the docks, for dischareing and landing ergo,
.was complied with. Mr. :Bold said the engine would save
-the labour of fire men, beeides giving greater dispatch,
and it was likely to come into general use.—lt was re-
commended that the salary of Mr. Joseph Garniss, super-
intendent of the timber quays, be increased from £9O to
£lo per annum.—The secretary read a resolution of the
.Health Committee, stating that a complaint had been
,made by the medical officer of a nuisance from bones
lying on the quay of the Clarence Dock. The matter was
referred to the Harbour Masters' Committee.—Mr. Bar-
ber called attention to the discussion at the last meeting.
On that occasion the solicitor, in answer to a question,
led thorn to suppose there was no power in the rate-
payers to inspect the books and accounts of the dock
estate. The solicitor had since discovered that he was in
error on that point, and that the ratepayers had such
power. The solicitor wished to disabuse Mr. Barber's
mind upon the subject. He did state that he had found,
in an old act, a clause giving power to the ratepayers to
inspect books, accounts, and other proceedings. It was
passed in 1762. The clause had, however, no bearing upon
the question which had been raised, and, if used at all, it
had reference to an inspection made, through the chair-
man, at the time when the accounts gener,a,lTlyhoafttthheetrsauisdt
were to be inspected there. The solicitor read the clause,
which is the 33rd of the, 2nd George 111.,
trustees shall keep, or cause to be kept and entered in
proper books, minutes of their proceedings, and fair, just,
and true accounts of the reecipts and disbursements which
shall be received or expended by them in consequence of
this act, which books of account and other proceedings
shall be epened at all convenient hours of business to the
inspection of all persons chargeable with and liable to the
payment of the said duties." In reply to a question, the
solicitor said that only one instance had occurred of such
inspection during twenty years. After a long discussion,
Mr. Gladstone gave notice that he would, at the next
meeting, bring forward the motion he had previously
submitted, as to members being furnished with infor-
motion in connexion with the trust, merely leaving out the
word " verbally."—Mr. Bigham said he had that day men.
tioned in the Finance Committee that he wished to bring
forward an important matter, in hopes that it would reach
the general committee, and through that committee the
public, but he was unable to get any attention paid to it ;
he alluded to the dock frauds. The committee must not,
therefore, blame him if he mentioned the names of certain
firms when the proceedings came before the Council. He
had repeatedly mentioned it within the last week or two
in the Finance Committee, hut the reply was " Pooh,
pooh," and no action had been taken. There was a list
now of persons Who had been guilty of these frauds; one
of them paid £5O to get out of the difficulty a short time
ago, but since that time his name had been four times in
the list. It seemed as though some parties were deter-
mined not to pay the legal rates. Mr. Robinson suggested
the desirability of posting the names of the defaulters
outside the Custom-house. Mr. Tobin thought that, if
there were such gross cases as had been stated, some strong
reason should be given why proceedings were not taken.
Mr. Evans asked whether, supposing a member knew of
those things, would he he allowed to ask for information,
in order to institute an inquiry ? There were abuses ex-
isting, and it might be members were neglecting their
duties, but no other member must go and make an in.
quiry. Mr. Bigham was asked to name the party alluded
to who had paid the £5O, when he replied that he was not
quite certain about the exact amount ; it was, he believed,
£2O or £5O, and the firm was Giannacopulo and Co.
Greek merchants. Mr. Malcolmson thought they should
act with caution, and was understood to refer to irregu-
larities by Custom-house clerks. Mr. Molyneux said
there was a disinclination on the part of the Finance
Committee to look into the matters referred to, but they
had Dot yet had sufficient time, The mattes then dropped,

GENERAL NEWS.

A LAPLAND GIANTESS, measuring seven feet two
inches, and weighing twenty-four stone fourteen pounds,
is being exhibited at Aberdeen.
C. ROBINSON, ESQ., of Plympton, exhibited at South
Brent fair, a cow and calf; the former two feet eleven
inches high, and the latter, which is ten months old,
twenty-four inches.
THE MAGNIFICENT CHURCH OF BOSTON was re-
opened on Thursday, after a reparation and repewing
which had cost about £4,000, the whole of which was
raised by voluntary contribution.
THE MILITIA.—In consequence of the number of men
who have volunteered from the militia into infantry
regiments of the line about to proceed to foreign stations,
it has been found necessary again to enrol men for the
first-mentioned service, in order to fill up the vacancies.
FATAL FIRE AT BRADFORD.—An alarming fire broke
out on Tuesday morning, at the worsted mill of Messrs.
Walker and Co. The mill is left a complete wreck, and
it is reported the loss will amount to £15.000 or more.
Four men were killed, two remain in the ruins, and six
were taken to the infirmary severely wounded.
HATCHING.—A novel mode of hatching chickens has
been put into operation in Lincoln, on the premises of a
fellmonger. The eggs are placed in water, which is kept
up to the requisite warmth by means of a solar lamp ; and
many fine chickens thus hatched are running about the
premises.

KOSSUTH has made the avowal that he is, in several
countries, but not in England (!), laying up materials for
making war against Austria. Messrs. Cobden and Bright,
the especial mouthpieces of the Peace Society, take the
part and speak much in praise of this belligerent Hun-
garian. Can the force of inconsistency or " humbug" go
beyond this ?—Church and State Gazette.

Cr RE FOR ERYSIPELAS.—The editor of the Salem
Observer gives a public cure for erysipelas, from which
he has been a great sufferer, He says "a simple poultice
of cranberries, pounded fine, and applied in a raw state,
has proved in my case, and a number also in this vicinity,
a certain remedy." In this case the poultice was applied
on going to bed, and the next morning, to his surprise,
he found the inflammation nearly gone; and in two days
he was as well as ever.

ANOTHER BOILER EXFLOSION.—A boiler burst on
Saturday week, at the fire-iron and glass-cutting factory
of Messrs. Davis, of Dudley, killing four persons, and it
is feared fatally injuring a fifth, and some others seriously :
—" The effects of the explosion on the factory are
altogether ruinous, the building being wholly destroyed,
together with all the machinery, which was blown into
the air, and scattered over the houses adjoining; in many
cases the large masses of iron, some weighing five
hundred, six hundred, and even seven hundredweight,
falling on the houses and breaking through the roofs.
The engineer, named Joseph Millward, was blown to a
great height in the air—probably nearly 100 feet—and,
falling on the roof of a house about eighty feet from the
factory wall, his weight carried him through the slating
and nailing of the attic to the floor of the room. The
unfortunate man was not dead when he was found in the
room nearly half an hour after the explosion, but did not
survive more than an hour. Besides the engineer, there
were killed—Elias Sheldon, about twenty years of age ;
Peter Ellis, who has left a widow and five children; and
George Stokes, a married man, with no children. The
remains of the poor fellows are shockingly mangled."
FORM OF CHININEYS.—S3Me very elementary con-
siderations will show that a greater momentum is ob-
tained by a chimney increasing in size upwards, and thus
allowing the air to expand. if a person blows in at the
'exporded end of an ordinary straight trumpet, be will
find that there is a great expenditure of wind to no I or-
pose, the force being entirely lost, and no vibration pro-
duced in the metal. Bct if he turns it round, and blows
in at the small end, be will find that a small quantity of
air forced in will produce a powerful vibration through
the whole length of the instrument. They same thing
takes place in chimneys, which are. only a peculiar kind
of wind instrument; a gradually increasing width pro-
ducing a greater "draft" than a straight or contracted
'flue. From this, it follows that the mouth of the flue
next the fire must be as small as is practicable, and ex-
.pand upwards from this point. The best known exam-
.ple of the working of this principle is in the advan-
'tage of the register--sterve over the old-fashioned, wide-
mouthed " inverted funnel" -shaped flue, which was
from time immemorial placed over every 'fireplace ; the
register-stove has a small mouth and an expanding flue
above. It is high time that we went to the root of the
matter, or, in other words, to the place where smoke
first enters a flue, and not where it escapes.—Vorrespon-
-dent of The litaUder.

MURDER 11Y L Boy.—A vereEict of wilful murder has
been returned against a boy, named Edwin Hucker,
under ten years.of age, of Keynsham, near 'Bristol, who,
it appears, pushed another 'bey. William Saunders, a
companion, into the river Avon, when he was drowned,
in the presenceof a third boy, named Evans, who told
his relations that he was in the meadow, and-saw Hucker
there lying down on the grass, and that 'the little boy
Saunders came-up and jumped on to his neck, at which
Hucker got into a passion, and -said he 'would hit his
head off. tEvans•further stated, that about an hour after-
wards he saw• Saunders on the bank of the'river picking
some sorrel, which grew on its edge, and that Hucker,
who was behind him, pushed him into the river, and
said, " he's in the river." Evcns likewise
stated, that the copper mills were a little wey off, that
there were people there, and-he was running to get some
one to pull out Saunders, whom he -saw -struggling for
five minutes, but that 'Huoker -would not let him do so,
but, on the contrary, held him down by his,pinafore, and
-said, that if he offered to go, 'he would pushibim in also,
and jump in himself. After this, Hunker followed him
nearly as far as-Stoates-hill, and told him not to say any-
thing about it, and he would .gire him-something on the
'Friday, which woe the reason why he did not tell where
-Saunders was •when he was missed at first. The body
:was found some ,days afterwards, but in such a state of
,decomposition thatit would not have been reecgnised but
ifor some peculiarity in his boots, and a'bagfocnd in his
;pocket.

COUNTY CorreTs.--When it is considered that since
the establishment of the county courts, in 1847, to the
31st of December, 1851, the amount sued fcr therein is
£6,777,372, the importance to the trading community of
a means being afforded them of ascertaintag the names of
the parties against whom judgment has been given in
these courts is obvious, particularly as there are 499
county courts established throughout England and Wales,
in any of which persons may consent to a judgment under
the 9th section of the 13th and 14th Victoria, chap. 61,
although not resident in the district of the court, so as to
conceal the fact from their neighbours. For the protec-
tion, therefore, of trade, and in pursuance of the 15th
and 16th Victoria, chap. 54, the commissioners of Her
Majesty's Treasury have established an office in London
(1, Parliament-street,) in which the names, addresses,
and .occupations of all parties against whom judgments
have Amen entered, for £lO and upwards, in the county
courts since their establishment, and which are still un-
paid, as well as of those persons against whom judgments
are entered at the present sittings of the courts, are re-
gistered in alphabetical order, so as to enable any person
to discover whether a person applying for goods on credit
has an unsatisfied judgment standing against him. The
entries are so arranged that a search can be made with
great facility and rapidity. [This will no doubt operate
very beneficially as a check upon men who repudiate pay-
ing their debts without legal compulsion, and rely upon
the ordinary secresy of such transactions to contract fresh
debts, and leave their creditors to the expense and delay
of legal proceedings to obtain their just claims.]
ROMANTIC FiLEAK.—The ancient adage, " there's
many a dip between the cup and the lip," was curiously
verified the other day by a singular nuptial freak within
the walls of our old parish church of Holy Trinity. We
would not wish to increase the bitterness of the quasi
bridegroom's disappointment, and, therefore, refrain
from giving his name, contenting ourselves by introducing
him, pro tern, as Mr. Peter Simple. The story is brief,
and may be told in a few words. It happened one day
that Peter fell in " with a canny Scotch lassie fra yont the
Tweed." He met her glance, and the soft witchery of
her smiles overpowered him—he listened to her voice
—what exquisite melody. Peter felt that he loved her,
his palpitating heart told him so. Somewhere Disraeli,
in one of his novels,says, "there is no love, but love atfirst
sight," and such glorious love was Peter's—burning, in-
tense, as the passion that glowed in Romeo's breast, and
fired the soul of Faust. He whispered to her his love,
and thrilled her ear with delicious vows. She yielded
him her hand and heart, and they became all in one to
each other ; so happy, indeed, were they in each other's
society, one might almost say of them
" They should have lived together deep in woods
Unseen, as sings the nightingale."
Weeks flew by, and the nuptial hour was fixed. It was
a beautiful morning—and the sun shone as it ought to
shine on wedding days—warmly and brightly. The
marriage breakfast was concluded, and the bride was pre-
sented by her happy mother with a handsome dowry,
amiUst the greetings of her friends. To church they
went ; a larger group of spectators than ordinary were
gathered—for there were several other weddings that
morning, and the sun-light streamed down upon them
through the gorgeous tinted windows with a mellow
blaze. " Wilt thou have this man for thy wedded hus-
band ?" said the priest, distinctly and solemnly, and the
echo of his voice vibrated through the " long drawn
aisles." There was a hush amongst the spectators as
they peered into the face of the blushing maiden, when,
to their infinite surprise, she stepped back a pace or two,
and, in a voice of desperate firmness, answered, " I will
not ! " and quietly disappeared. Still the sunlight
streamed in through the gorgeous coloured panes—but a
shadow fell on Peter's brow, as he stood bewildered,
gazing on the scene, lamenting " Love's Labour Lost ;"
whilst the worthy priest was scarcely less astonished than
the reverend monk of old, who felt the weight of Petru-
dio's Mites—Hull Packet.

A COMPANY entitled the Peninsular Mining Company
has been formed for the purpose of working lead and
copper mines recently discovered in the north of Spain,
and generally for the prosecution of mining purposes in
the Peninsula.
A WRITER in Home Thoughts for May, says :—" We
have seen Louis Blanc in the streets of London frequently.
His figure and stature are those of a boy of twelve, but his
head is a remarkably fine one. It was Louis Philippe who
declared that the History of Ten Years, by Louis Blanc,
acted likes volleyon the bulwarks of the loyalty of France."
THE CAMP AT CHOBHAM.—The 2d company of the
Royal Sappers and Miners, under the command of Capt.
J. W. Lovell, Royal Engineers, have proceeded to Chob-
ham, to be employed in sinking wells and forming such
necessary accommodations of a temporary character as
may be considered indispensable to a camp which will be
occupied by from 8,000 to 10,000 men.
GLASS PIAZZAS FOR THE STREETS.—The Builder sug-
gests the erection of glass piazzas over the flagways or
footpaths on both sides of the streets. They might be
formed by a series of ridge and furrow roofs, placed one
beside the other in succession, after the fashion of the
Crystal Palace, and supported on iron columns. These,
if carried on continuously, in front of the houses and over
the crossings, would be highly ornamental, while they
would be also undeniably of public utility.
TRANSATLANTIC STEAM-SHIPS.—The Liverpool and
Philadelphia Steam-ship Company's steam-ship City of
Manchester, Robert Leitch, commander, sailed on Thurs-
day afternoon, for Philadelphia, with 177 cabin passen-
gers and a moderate cargo. The United States mail
steam-ship Arctic, Luce, commander, took her departure
hence for New York at 4 12 p.m. on Wednesday, with
120 passengers and a fair cargo, besides the usual mails
on board. Among the passengers were Mr. W. C. Rives,
American Minister at Paris, and his family.
SENTENCE OF DEATH.—A man named M'Gowan, has
been sentenced to death by the High Court of Justiciary
of Edinburgh, for having caused the death of an old man,
named M'Guire, at Irvine, in Ayrshire, in October last,
by stabbing him with a knife. As the evidence adduced
tended to show that the murderer was incited to the deed
by a suspicion that the deceased had a hand in blasting his
happiness, by causing his son to run away with Mrs.
M'Gowan, the jury recommended him to mercy. The
Lord Justice General promised to forward the recommen-
dation to the proper quarter.
RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—VERDICT OF MANSLAUGHTER.
—The jury empannelled to inquire into the deaths of
I John Thompson and Joseph Sykes, engine-driver and
stoker, by the recent accident on the York and North
Midland Railway, when the engine ran off the line, have
returned a verdict against the directors. The inquest
had been adjourned from the 6th instant, to allow of the
road being inspected by Captain Galton, of the Board of
Trade, who gave his opinion that the line was in such a
condition as not to be safe for engines at a high speed.
" If he had been requested to report on the state of the
road, not knowing of the accident, he should not have re-
ported that it was safe for the public to pass on with the
present traffic going over it." The jury returned their
verdict after twenty minutes' deliberation. A sufficient
number agreed, but there were two dissentients.
ROMANTIC SUICIDE.—On Wednesday morning the
body of a young man was discovered in a small copse near
the Crystal Palace, with his head blown to pieces, and a
new rifle pistol lying by his side. The deceased's name
was Lawrence Cooper Mason, aged 17, and for the last
four rears he had been in the employ of Mr. Attwell,
butcher, of Camberwell, and had carried on a corres-
pondence with his young mistress, only 14 years of age,
which his master had endeavoured to put an end to, which
induced him to leave his service. Two letters were found
on his person, the first of which was addressed to his
servicewi

As I am to be separated from the sole object of my affec-
tions, there is no comfort for me in this world. My heart
is ready to burst with grief ; in fact, my agonies at the
present time are more than I can bear, and therefore I am
determined to ease myself of them by taking my own life."
THE BRITISH AND FOREIGN ANTI-SLAVERY SOCIETY
drew a full concourse of sympathisers at the annual meet-
ing at Exeter-hall, yesterday week, the great room being
crowded in every part. The attendance was stimulated
by the expected presence of Mrs. Stowe, who was received
by the audience standing, excited to a " tremendous
pitch," and it was minutes before the cheers, with which
the hall rang again, had sufficiently relieved them. When
she withdrew, the same honours were paid to her, every
one standing up and cheering with heart and soul. Pro-
fessor 'Stowe, the Rev. C. Beecher, and the Rev. S.
Warde, a black minister from Canada, were added to the
committee of the society. The professor told the meet-
ing -that 'speechifying in Exeter-hall was of little use ; but
if they really wanted to put down slavery in America, they
must bring free labour into competition with slave labour ;
and, if the English could not make as much profit by
using free cotton as slave cotton, they must be content
with practising a little of the denial they so properly
preached to the slaveholder.
THE MILITARY ENCAMPMENT at Bagshot will soon be
effected. Lieut.-General Lord Seaton will command in
chief. The following particulars have been published :
" The troops consist of four regiments of cavalry, twenty-
four pieoes of artillery, and three brigades of infantry, each
under the command of a Major-General. The first infan-
try brigade will be formed of three battalions of Guards,
the.seconi and third each of three battalions of the line.
The whole force will amount to about 8,900 men, with
2,000 horses ; and after the troops composing the first
division gave had three or four weeks' practice in field
evolution€, they will be replaced by a similar force for the ,

same period. The Sappers and Miners from Chatham
will form part of the force encamped ; field-works and
entrenchments will be thrown up, and bridges of pontoons,
in which the merit of recent inventions may be tested,
will be thrown over some narrow portions of Virginia
Water—a lake which, as is not, perhaps, generally known,
owes its existence to the labours of the army which fought
under the Duke of Cumberland at Culloden."
AN EXTRA ORDINARY SHOT.—" What is in the blood
will never come out of the flesh," is an axiom fully
illustrated in the case of a son of Mr. Charles Tester, of
Balcombe, who a few years since, while shooting on his
father's land, burst his gun, and so sadly injured his left
hand that it was obliged to be amputated below the
elbow. Still true to the sport he continued to use the
trigger, and one day while out with his brother and Sir
Percy Shelley, about two years ago, a rabbit started at
his feet, and suddenly raising his right hand to point it
out, he received the full charge from his brother's gun.
He very coolly went home and ordered Dr. Smith, of
Crawley, to be sent far, deliberately preparing for a
second operation, which was skilfully performed ; but
even now he does not giro up his favourite sport, and
having two wooden hands, continues to raise his gun to
his shoulder by laying it across the stump of his left arm,
pulling the trigger with his other artificial hand, and with
such skill that a rabbit seldom escapes his aim, and one
evening during the winter, he actually fetched down a
woodcock on the wing in good style.—Brighton Gazette.
VAGRANT CHILDREN.—A parliamentary return gives
the number of children below the apparent age of four-
teen found by the police " at large" as mendicants or
thieves. Of such children, ninety-four were found in the
various metropolitan districts, in whose cases it was im-
posjble to find or trace their connection with their
parents. The parents of 231 children "at large " were
found, and appeared to be in a condition of life to main-
tain and educate them ; while it was found that the
parents of 580 of such children were capable of at least
contributing to their maintenance and education. Of
411 children, it was notorious that their parents sent them
to beg, and live in idleness and profligacy on their earn-
ings. The total number of children "at large" in Lon.
don amounts to 1,316. Joined to this return is a similar
statistical account of the children under fourteen found
by the police in lodging-houses as mendicants and thieves.
Of such children, forty were found without parents ; the
parents of 105 were able to maintain them, and the
parents of 1,190 werc able to contribute towards their
support; and 433 were purposely sent from their homes
to beg. The total number of children in lodging-houses
was 1,782, which number, added to the number of chil-
dren "at large," gives a grand total of 3,091 juvenile
mendicants and thieves.

WORK FOR GAOLS.—I think it right and necessary that
there should be in gaols some degraded kind of hard and
irksome work, belonging only to gaols. I don't think
Mr. Hill's punishment of cleanliness and discipline, and
no beer and no tobacco, half enough for the regular hands.
I think it a question by no means to be left out of view—
What kind of work does the determined thief, or the de-
termined swindler, or the determined vagrant most abhor?
Find me that work, and to it in preference to any other, 1
set that man relentlessly. Now, I make bold to whisper
in Mr. Hill's ear the inquiry whether the work best an-
swering to this discription is not almost invariably found
to be useless work. And to such useless work, I plainly
say, I desire to set that determined thief, swindler, or va-
grant, for his punishment. I have not the least hesitation
in avowing to Mr. Hill that it is a satisfaction to me to see
that determined thief, swindler, or vagrant sweating pro-
fusely at the treadmill or the crank, and extremely
galled to know that he is doing nothing all the time but un-
dergoing punishment.-1 have a very strong idea that he is
sent to prison rightfully, for that purpose ; and I have no
idea whatever that he is yet entitled to the privilege of
being taught a trade, or that his life out of that place has
established its claim within that place to work as men
work who are not despoilers of their kind.—Dickens's
Household Words.

A FRIGHTFUL SCENE NEAR LEEDS.—A few days since,
the inhabitants of Bramley were much alarmed on finding
a young man, who had been for many years out of health,
almost reduced to a skeleton, and of late scarcely able to
walk, standing upon the chimney of a house three storeys
high. This young man, a mason, received an injury on
the head by a fall from a high building several years ago,
and as he advanced in years he continually grew worse,
and at length was compelled to give up working. He is
subject to fits daily, and after ono of them he was seen,
in the absence of his parents, on the roof of a house
adjacent. He then got upon another house of three
storeys high adjoining, and when he could get no higher,
immediately mounted the chimney, and there stood for
about three quarters of an hour. He then commenced
reading in a stentorian voice, which soon drew the people
out of their houses to ascertain the matter. The terrified
spectators shouted to him, but he heeded it not. All
were afraid to attempt his rescue, as their own lives must
thus become a sacrifice ; but at length some persons volun-
teered to make the attempt, and obtained a ladder and
touch him, he took a brick from the chimney

Till-. MASTER of Shepton Mallet Union applied to the
guardians, last week, for leave to hire men to do the
necessary work of the poor-house, the paupers having all
departed.

FROM A PARLIAMENTARY RETURN, recently issued,
it appears that there have been 24 members unseated for
bribery, distributed over 18 boroughs. Of these six have
been caused by the demise of members, three by disputes
about returns, and five by acceptances of office.
THE LORD MAYOR OF LONDON has invited the
mayors of the different towns in England and Ireland to
dinner on the ith of June, to be followed on the following
day by a conversazione relative to the promotion of science
and art throughout the empire, in deference to her Ma-
jesty's wishes.

DESTRUCTION OF A FACTORY.—On Friday week, an
immense new weaving shed of one story in height, belong-
ing to Messrs. Radcliffe Brothers, cotton manufacturers,
near Rochdale, covering 10,000 square yards of ground,
only partially covered in, was blown down by a gust of
wind ; and about £2.000 worth of property was destroyed.
The builders were at work, but all of them escaped alive,
though some few sustained rather severe bruises.

THE MURDER. AT BACTON RECTORY.—The police
have succeeded in apprehending a man who is supposed
to have been the perpetrator of the horrible murder of
Maria Steggles, the aged housekeeper of the Rev. E. B.
Barker, at Bacton Rectory, on the morning of Sunday,
the Bth instant. He is a labourer, named William Flatt,
about 20 years of age, and lived in the village of Bacton.
His character is a very indifferent one, and he appears to
have been several times summarily convicted by the ma-
gistrates—once for stealing lead from the parish church.
THE Dumbarton Chronicle records and moralises upon
the ceremonies attending the arrival of Lord Cowan, judge
of assize, at Inverary, in the following striking way :
Having met his lordship at the extremity of the burgh,
" the authorities," says that journal, " formed themselves
into order of procession, entered the town, accompanied
by a large crowd, preceded by halbert-bearers in their red
coats, and two trumpeters, whose thrilling notes in the
stillness of this peaceful retirement must have struck such
terror into the inmost recesses of the hearts of the guilty
prisoners, if heard by them, as must vividly recal to them
the days of their former innocence, if any ray of the light
of conscience were yet flickering within them 1"
AN AFRICAN PRINCE.—Among the passengers by the
Severn, which arrived on Tuesday at Southampton, was
Prince Sidi, the son of a powerful African chieftain over
the Trarzas people, who trade with the islands and por-
tions of the African continent which form the French
colonial establishments between the Senegal and Gambia
rivers. His object is to visit Europe, and in this he was
prompted by his own curiosity, and had: his father's con-
sent. He is a fine young man, about twenty years of age,
with rather Arab features. Ills language is Arabic, and
his religion Mahomedan. His dress bore the symbols of
rank and power. Prince Sidi speaks a little French.
While at Southampton he visited Netley Abbey and
other places, but betrayed no emotion. He was fond of
smoking. He left for Havre on Wednesday.

SINGULAR ACCIDENT AFTERAMARRIAGE CEREMONY.
—On Tuesday, Ns bile the carriage which conveyed the
bridesmaids who officiated at the marriage of Miss Nal-
ders, Croydon, was returning through Bedington-park,
the pole splintered, and on reaching Croydon it entirely
broke. The consequence was that the horses got fright-
ened, and dashed down the street at a furious rate. They
afterwards ran into a house projecting at the further end,
carrying away the entire front, which was of lath and
plaster. A little child that was inside was so seriously
injured that its life is considered in a precarious state.
The horses were extricated, and the bridesmaids received

caser e much
of
a
singular nature occurred a few days since on the Stour
Valley railway. Miss Prince, a young lady of most re-
spectable family connexions in Dudley, got into a first-
class carriage at the New-street station to proceed by a
train for Dudley. Shortly after the train started, and im-
mediately on its entering the tunnel, the door of the
carriage in which Miss Prince was sitting alone was
opened, and some one entered and took hold of her arm.
She screamed out, and the person said he did not want to
hurt her, and toll her not to be alarmed. The man
seized hold of her, and, after a struggle, kissed ber. A.
knocking was then heard in the other partition of the car-
riage, and the man got out, but not until Miss Prince had
felt that he had on a belt, and that his coat buttons were
very large. In a few moments after the train emerged
from the tunnel, and on reaching Dudley Port, Miss
Prince made a complaint of the treatment she had received.
The company instituted an inquiry into the circumstance,
in consequence of which the guard Ha) es was discharged
from their service ; and the relatives of Miss Prince hav-
ing made a representation to the Northwestern Railway
Company, it was determined to prosecute him for the
offence. The case was ultimately brought before the ma-
gistrates, when Hayes, who had been aprehended at his
residence in Wolverhampton, was brought up in custody.
The prisoner having previously admitted that lie had com-
mitted the offence, the bench inflicted a penalty of £5,
which was immediately paid.—Birminghain Journal.
MURDER BY A WlFE.—Early on Tuesday the inha-
bitants of St. Leonard's-on-Sea were thrown into a state
of excitement by the report that during the night a man
named Stephen Smith had lost his life in an altercation
with his wife. The deceased was a shoemaker, living with
his wife in a room over some coach-houses in the Harold-
mews, St. Leonard's-on-Sea. On Monday evening de-
ceased and his wife were seen in a beer-shop ; they ap.
peered to be on very friendly terms. They were seen
returning to St. Leonard's shortly before twelve o'clock.
This was the last time they were seen together. In twenty
minutes after this the woman fetched a pint of beer,
which she did not take home. Shortly after one o'clock
she called a neighbour, named Mary Cope, stating that
she had stabbed her husband. This person ran for a sur-
geon, who was on the spot in ten minutes. On his en-
tering the room Mrs. Smith exclaimed, " I have killed
my husband. I knew it would come to this." She fur-
ther said that the deceased was always jealous of her ;
they had been out together to Hastings, and in coming
home she " gave him the slip," and did not get home until
after him ; that he spoke to her, and she then threatened
to " do for him," upon which he opened his waistcoat and
said "Do it," She then took up a knife, having a very
sharp point, from deceased's work-seat, and stabbed him
in the chest, afterwards throwing the knife out of the
window upon a dungheap. From this wound he died in
about a quarter of an hour. An inquest was held on the
body, and a verdict of " Wilful murder" returned. The
accused woman has been of a loose character, of drinking
habits, and possessed of an ungovernable temper.

TABLE MOVING IN LONDON.—Mrs. Beecher Stowe
Uncle Tom's Cabin—Dockyard Corruption, and Hat and
Table Moving ! Between these it is really enough to
lose one's senses. I must, however, give the palm of
1 being the greatest " bore " to the last named Yankee
notion. You can scarcely go into a room without seeing
three or four people standing all round a table, motion-
less, like so many painter's dummies, with their hands on
the leaf of an old hat, which you are assured will begin to
gyrate presently, if you have patience to wait; and then
you are asked if you are " highly magnetic," if you are a
medium, if you believe in " Rappers," by persons whom
on other matters you would readily believe to be sensible,
well-informed men ; and you hear all sorts of absurd
theories broached about the magnetic fluid which per-
forms these wonders, but which, assuredly, in pheno-
mena, action, or force, has not the smallest affinity to
any exhibition of the electric agency in its various forms,
whetter as tense electricity, electro magnetism, or gal-
vanism. Hitherto I have been always too late or too
early for the sight ; the hat has just been moved, or I hear
that it has done so after my departure ; and hence I am
led to believe that I am a highly " anti-magnetic " per-
son. I must, however, admit that I have met many per-
sons who have informed me that they have witnessed
with their own eyes these most curious manifestations.
Among others, Thackeray has just returned from America,
full of hat and table moving and spirit rapping. He
stoutly maintains that he believes in them all ! No less
a person than the Bishop of Oxford had a seance ma g -
netique the other evening, when his lordship, with the
aid of Chevalier Bunsen and thee others, managed tc
make his broad brim shovel move round with great rapidity.
A great number of literary peopleare dabbling at it, and much
valuable time will be lost to society, I fear; for the ex-
periment, even when most successful, rc quires at least half
an hour to move a hat, and so on in proportion for a
table. If the thing be true, we can do wonders, for if
three can make a hat move, a thousand ought to move a
house; in fact, there can be no bounds to this power if the
force really exists in individuals, and is multipied by con-
tact. Men of science laugh, but the faittrgains ground
nevertheless.—Daily Express.

THE CANTERBURY COMMISSION. - Messrs. Slade,
Anstey, and Burcham have opened the commission of
inquiry at Canterbury. The first witness was Alderman
Brent, who had always taken a part for the Liberal can-
didates at elections for the city. "He had had good ap-
pointments given to him for four of his sons, and he
himself had been appointed deputy-lieutenant of the
county. The first appointment was given to one of his
sons about seventeen years ago ' . the second about four-
teen years ago ; the third about three years ago ; and the
fourth just as the Whig government went out, and before
Lord Derby's Government came in." He had obtained
appointments for the sons of other voters, and handed in
a book of the disbursements on behalf of the Liberal can-
didates in 1847. Jonathan John Rutter had the spending
in that year of £l,BOO on behalf of Lord Albert Connig:
ham and Mr. Smythe, the Liberal caaidates. He stated
e
without any circumvention that be gave money

Saunders mentioned the name of four voters that be had
bribed in 1847, with money received from Rutter. Mr.
Pout had spent the £1,700 for Messrs. Johnstone and
William
Gipps in money bribery and colour-tickets. " Thought
there was as much dirty work on one side as the other."
Evidence was given by other witnesses of a lavish ex
hoif:
,on,,yln
penditure of money in bribery on both sides, that ,
put St. Alban's in the shade. Hundreds, and, in some
cases, even a thousand pounds appears to have been dis-
posed of without any check on the parties employed,
who, though unable to recollect the parties bribed, de-
clare, with great gravity, none of the money stuck by the
way. Lord Pelham Clinton was a candidate in 1847,
with Mr. Vance. His expenses were paid by Ma or
Beresford. Mr. Alderman Brent, recalled, said—" He
paid the balance of the amount be received for the ex-
penses of the election of 1850 to Mr. Coppock, who was
then acting, he had an impression, for Colonel Romilly,
The balance paid to Mr. Coppock was £lOO, and not
£2OB, and he (Mr. Brent) retained in his own hands the
remainder for contingenciel." (Laughter.)
