" Spectator," it is stated that the value of corn and flour
imported into Great Britain during twelve months is no
less than twenty-five millions of pounds sterling.
The office of Lord Provost of Edinburgh goes a-begging ;
and efforts are being made to induce the present provost
to remain in office, though he has already exceeded by a
year the triennial period for which he was elected.
The " separate system," which obtained so much favour

a fire-balloon, which a lighted on one of the barns. A
large quantity of produce, several buildings, and many
trees were destroyed.
The Leeds Intelligencer states that, " incredible as the
thing may appear, the liberal town council have declared
that they will not elect any man for alderman who was
guilty of the high crime of voting in favor of state-assisted
education."

The academic visit of Lord John Russell to Glasgow is
to be taken advantage of by the Lord Provost and magis-

ship's notice.
DOING BUSINESS.—A. culprit from Dundee, who at
Perth was tried, convicted, and sentenced to banishment
last Wednesday evening, officiated on the previous morn-
ing in Dundee, as hangman's assistant, at the execution of
Thomas Leith. He had £5 for his services, of which he
gave his counsel £2 to defend him on his trial.
JUNENILE OFFENDERS.—It appears that there were
561 prisoners tried for felony at the West Riding Ses-
sions during the year 1846. Out of this large number
there were only twelve who, on account of their age,
would have come within the operation of the Juvenile
Offenders An if that statute had then been in existence.
MURDER OF MAJOR WALDSTETTEN.—The three mur-
derers who strangled Major Waldstetten, with the con-
nivance of his own valet, have been taken. They have
confessed their crime, which they committed for
.the
purpose of obtaining possession of the large quantity of
cash which he major had in his possession. The three
men are brothers. _ _ _

FORCE OF— THE SEA.—The force of the waves at the
Bell Rock during the late gale from the south-east, as in-
dicated by the marine dynamometer (records of which are
daily registered), was 28471 b., or upwards of one-fourth of
a ton, per superficial foot, being the greatest result ob-
tained since October, 1844, when a nearly similar force
was indicated.—Caledonian Mercury.
HORSES KILLED BY EATING WHEAT.—Two valuable
horses. the property of W. De Capel Brooke, Esq., of
Market Harborough, died a few days since from having
eaten a quantity of wheat which had been left in sacks in
the straw yard, to which the horses had access. Two
others that also partook of the wheat narrowly escaped
the same fate.

The Birkenhead iron steam-frigate, Commander In-
gram, is having the damages caused by her collision with
the brig Horatio repaired in. dock. She seems to have
had her starboard sponson stove in, and a portion of the
wheel next it carried away. The Birkenhead is receiving
a coat of composition to prevent the adherence of rubbish
on her bottom.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT, WITH Loss OF LIFE.—A poor
woman, who lives at Tollpuddle, near Blandford, Dorset,
left an infant, six months old, in the cradle while she went
a short distance. During her absence a ferret got into
the cradle and picked out the child's eyes, and hit the
tongue off. The consequence was the death of the child
within an hour.

WHEAT FROM VAN DIEMEN'S LAND.—The vessel,
Lydford, arrived in the St. Katharine Docks, from Laun-
ceston, Van Diemen's Land, has brought, besides a cargo
of wool, and other merchandise, 2710 bags of wheat ; and
the Sydney, from the same place, has brought 720 bags of
wheat and 50 bags of flour, the production of that distant
colony. .
ESCAPE FROM PRISON IN JERSEY.—OnThursday,
two porters took into the prison a new bureau bedstead,
and brought out an old one, in which a debtor named
Wake, son of Sir Wm. Wake, was secreted. They car-
ried their load into the heart of the town, without excit-
ing any suspicion, and the prisoner got clear off. He
escaped to St. Malo by the steamer.—Jersey News.
NAVIGATION THROUGH A Foci.—The Direct Ferry
Company at Shields have made trial of a plan for the
guidance of their steam-boat across the river in a fog.
Fire-lamps are placed in small boats that are moored on
the line of transit, and the flames are mirrored in the
water. The reflection is made from a considerable dis-
tance, and serves as a guide to vessels. The device has
proved successful.

The steamer Vanguard, on her trip from the Clyde to
Dublin, on Sunday week, came in collision with the Mi-
nerva steamer. The latter had her stem completely d -
molished, and the Vanguard was dreadfully shattered in
the starboard bow, the iron plates of the hull and the
timber works of the gunwale being stove in as if they had
been sheets of pasteboard, and great part of the fore deck
being carried away.
THE DECIMAL COIN.—The first of these new coins,
agreeably to the plan of Mr. Sheil, will be a two-shilling
piece. The design has been completed by Mr. Wynn, of
the Royal Mint, and displays great chasteness and artis-
tical taste. The obverse will display a figure of her Ma-
jesty, the head being surrounded by a wreath of laurels.
The reverse will be a gothic design, but until the coin is
completed any detailed descriptien would be premature.
POULTRY.—In Aylesbury the sale of ducks realises
£15,000 a year; in Norfolk and Cambridge the small far-
mers pay their rents with the product of their poultry.
Mr. Bayley stated at a meeting lately held in St. Alban's,
that in nine years he sold £Bl,OOO, and that in the same
period he and his father sold conjointly £200,000 worth
of poultry, and also that during those nine years he paid
£3OOO in wages. In Kent and Surrey £300,000 is received
for poultry.
Pools OLDENGLAND.—The following is an extract
from the London Times of Wednesday :—" It cannot be
pleasant to any one whose heart is of the common mate-
rial, to go on day after day expostulating with sufferers on
the folly of their demands, and announcing that the na-
tional agony must have its course, but honour will admit
of no other alternative. Sorry are we to say it, but the
truth must be spoken. The country is poor; England is
actually poor, in the grossest and most tangible sense."
DESPERATE ROBBERY IN WESTMINSTER—DEATH OF
THE SUFFERER.—A murderous attack was made on Mr.
Bell Chambers, who was found about six o'clock on Mon-
day morning week, in a dreadful state, on the pavement, ,
in Westminster, with his pockets ransacked. He lingered
for a few days, but died on Monday. An inquest was
held on the body on Tuesday, and adjourned in conse-
quence of two men being in custody, against whom there
is a strong suspicion.
THE JESUITS IN BRISTOL.—It is reported that the order
of Jesuits are about shortly to assume the management of
church matters amongst the Roman Catholics in this city.
They have undertaken to liquidate the existing debts on
the Roman Catholic places of worship ; and likewise to
advance the necessary funds to the Bishop of the " Western
District," for building a." Cathedral" in Bristol, for which
the purchase of a site has already been concluded.—
Bristol Journal.
A SECOND CHATTERTON.-011 Sunday last, William
Rawlinson, a lawyer's clerk, aged 17, at Westminster,
poisoned himself with prussic acid. He has been for
some considerable time studying chemical works, and
other philosophical matters, and was in the habit of lock.
ing himself up in his room, for the purpose of preventing
his friends molesting him. his inattention to his business
was so great that he was discharged on Saturday, and his
father had threatened to destroy all his books.

A PHILOSOPHICAL BAKER.—Mr. Mathews, of Bristol,
author of a tract, " The Philosophy of Bread-making,"
has been lecturing in various places on that subject, to
crowded audiences. He illustrates his theory by making
a loaf, and baking it in a glass oven, heated by common
gas, on the lecture-table, and then dividing it amongst his
audience. The loaf is made in about a minute, by mixing
a small quantity of his baking powder in the flour, and
adding cold water. The baking process takes about half
an hour.
A PURCHASE OF MONEY.—One of the motives for the
visit of Baring to Paris has been ascertained to be the
buying up the English gold and notes held by the Banque
de France. The coffers of money, every changer and
banker, have been ransacked ; and it was said yesterday
that, save in the pockets of our countrymen, not a single
bank-note or sovereign could be found in all Paris. The
effect of this razzia was so unexpected, that, in four-and-
twenty hours, the value of English gold had risen six per
cent., a phenomenon unexampled since the war.—Paris
correspondent of the Atlas.
In the Registration Court, in London, on Wednesday,
the revising barrister animadverted most severely on the
bills of expenses sent in by overseers and vestry clerks,
and refused to allow them, as a robbery of the public. As
an instance of his cutting down we give the following
" St. Botolph, Aldgate ; registration, 1847 ; preparing list
of voters (740), £7 Bs. ' • paid printers £l7 ; lists of claims
(71) and objections (217), £2 18s.—Total, £27 65." In
handing this bill to the vestry clerk, the barrister said
that, instead of £27 65., he should only allow 20s. (Sen-
sation.) Most of the remainder were served after the
same fashion, the revising barrister holding that vestry
clerks were already paid for their services and had no fur-
ther claim, and that overseers could only claim what they
actually disbursed.

DEPLORABLE` OCCURRENCE.-Mr. Wm, Yarworth,
brother of Richard, who was shA at Piff's Elm some
years since, unforttinatefy fell into the river at Usk on
Friday se'nnight, and Was drowned. A sad fatality seems
to attend this family. Richard was shot; George, his
brother, was killed about three years back by his waggon
going over him; and now the present lamentable affair;
they were three very fine young men, and the feelings of
the wife and aged mother on the sad occasion are most
disti•a§sing.—Hereford Journal.
DistimsslNG ACCIDENT.—A son of Mr. Alfred Power,
late the Assistant Poor Law Commissioner for this dis-
trict, and now commissioner in Dublin, shot his sister
dead last week. An attempt having been made to break
into the house, Mr. Power loaded a brace of pistols in
case of further attack, and put them in what he considered
an " out-of-the-way place. His little son found them,
and, having no idea they were loaded, called out to his
sister, " Mind your eye, or I will shoot you," drew the
trigger, and the ball went through her heart.—Worcester
Chronicle.

LAND RECLAIMED FROM THE SEA.—A few days ago
were offered for sale, by the Nene Outfell Commissioners,
at Wisbech, 960 acres ofland, in 27 lots, being their por-
tion of between 3,090 and 4,003 acres that have been
gained from the sea by the completion of their great work.
The lots varied from seven acres to 180; and the reserved
bid for the several lots varied from about £l5 to £BO per
acre; and though none of the lots were actually sold at
these prices, above £6O per acre was bid for lot 24, con-
taining 103 acres, and for some of the smallest lots higher
prices were offered.
ANNIVERSARY OF THE BATTLE OF TRAFALGAR.—MOII-
- wasthe forty-second anniversary of the great victory of
Trafalgar, at which Nelson fell, and by which the com-
bined naval armaments of France and Spain perished. The
last signal which Nelson made has become immortal,—
" England expects every man to do his duty." It is a
curious anecdote, not so generally known, that as he first
proposed the signal, it was, " Nelson expects every man
to do his duty." Sir Thomas Hardy, devoted as he was
to the glory of his chief, suggested the emendation, which
Nelson at once adopted.

INSTANCE OF PATIENT IND ['STET. —The Nottingham
Journal states that Mr. John Munro, of Paisley, a tailor,
has completed a bed or table cloth, eight feet two inches
square, and composed of 3,570 small pieces of fine cloth
of different colours, very tastefully and ingeniously joined
together in a variety of national, emblematical, and fancy
devices. Mr. Monro devoted three hours a-day after his
ordinary work had been finished, for five days in each
week, during eleven years and four months, in the patient
prosecution of his self-imposed task. Two hundred pounds
have been offered for the cloth, and refused.
MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT ON WHITTON SANDS.—On
Saturday evening last, about five o'clock, as the sloop
Ashton. Johnson, master, was proceeding from this port
up the river, she grounded on Whitton Sands, when Mrs.
Johnson, being on deck at the time with an infant in her
arms, was thrown overboard, and both child and mother
met a watery grave. Captain Johnson caught hold of her
gown as she was falling, but could not rescue her, as from
the weak texture of the garment the piece came out in his
hand. He also caught hold of her foot, but, unfortunately,
her shoe came off, when she sank. She has left a family
of nine children to lament her untimely end.—Hull Ada.

PRINCELY PRESENT.—Si; Bellingham Graham, the
Vice Commodore of the Royal Yacht Squadron, has pre-
sented one of his yachts—the Medina—to his late sailing
master, on his quitting his service. The Medina, 44 tons,
is well found and fully equipped for sea, and cannot have
cost Sir Bellingham much less than a thousand pounds,
within the last eighteen months. His other yacht, the
Flirt, of 132 tons, is being lengthened in the bows in Mr.
Joseph White's yard ; she is to be ready for a voyage up
the Mediterranean in January. The Fairy schooner, of
143 tons, Sir Hyde Parker, Bart., and the Ariel schooner,
of 118, Almon Hill, Esq., are both fitting at Cowes, for
the same destination.

Tint HARVEST IN KENT.—So bountiful have been the
crops of wheat in the neighbourhood of Faversham from
the late harvest, that in many instances as much as eight
quarters an acre have been reaped ; and the respected
vicar, the Rev. Mr. Collins, in a very eloquent discourse
on Sunday last, stated that as much as ten quarters of
wheat had been grown on a single acre of land, and
fourteen quarters of barley on a like portion. That the
above are not solitary instances may be known by the
fact, that from a single acre selected from a field of wheat
on the farm of Mr. Collard, at Reculver, ten quarters and
three bushels were the amazing produce, which was proved
with great care for the purpose of deciding a considerable
wager.—Kentish Observer.
THE MAURITIUS.—The arrangements of 1825 which
admitted sugar the produce of the Mauritius to English
consumption at the same rate as that of the West Indies
gave an enormous stimulus to production in the island.
Thus the total exports of that article in 1825 amounted
only to 21,793,7661 b. from the Mauritius; in 1845 its
exports of sugar to Great Britain alone were 80,218,0961 b.
In the face of production thus unnaturally stimulated, and
the measures of 1846, there has been a gradually decreas-
ing stock of labour in the colony, and the necessity for
instantly confronting the competition of slave countries.
The Mauritius has lately proved the ruin of everybody
connected with it, as the list of recent failures too mourn-
fully testifies.

STATISTICS OF PAUPERISM.—The population of Swe-
den amounts to about 3,500,000 souls, and has only three
mendicants in every 400 persons, while in Norway they
reckon 5 out of every 100 ; in Denmark, 4 ; in Wurtem-
berg, 5 ; in Switzerland, 10 ; in Italy, 13 ' • in France, 15 ;
and in the British Islands collectively, 17, although in
England separately there are only 10. In France the
number of foundlings supported at the expense of the
state was, in 1844, 123,394, demanding an annual outlay
of 6,707,829 f. 12c., or 54f. 6c. a-head. In Paris the cha-
ritable establishments afford relief to 95,000 paupers. At
Berlin the number of mendicants has become doubled
between 1822 and 1846; the number of families in that
capital supported by charity has increased from 2.990 to
3,445. In London, it is computed, there are 25,000 per-
sons who daily practise mendicicy or robbery.
The report of the Parliamentary committee on Sunday
trading in the metropolis has just been issued. It esti-
mates that about 5,000 tradesmen, with about 15,000
journeymen and boys, out of the metropolitan population
of a million and a half, are deprived " of the benefits of
the day of rest." It finds that the present law, which
only punishes on proof of an article actually sold, is prac-
tically a nullity ; and that the present observance of the
Lord's Day is, therefore, the effect of public opinion or
good feeling. Still they consider this feeling inadequate
to protect that portion of the community, who, by cir-
cumstances and situation, are placed within the tempta-
tion to buy and sell on Sundays ; and they recommend
that exposure for sale, and not the actual sale, should be
the criterion of legislation.' Necessary food they, how-
ever, advise should be allowed to be exposed at certain
hours.

- How THE POOR EXIST.—The following extracts from
the reports of intelligent parties will serve to show how
England is deprived of her strength—the flower and
beauty of her youth. " I was called," says Dr. South-
wood Smith, " to a room in Whitechapel, so dark, that in
broad daylight I was obliged to have a candle to see the
patient ; the closeness and stench of the room gave me
the instant feeling of sickness. The weather was very hot,
and yet the patient was lying with a parched tongue in a
burning fever. Think what it must have been to pass a
night in that room—a night of fever." Those who will
not listen to the living may not refuse the testimony of a
voice, speaking as from the grave. Mr. John Johns, who
died from fever, caught in visiting the sick in Liverpool,
says, " In one small cellar, without a window, I saw 18
persons in fever lying on wet dirty straw. In one house I
counted 81, in another 61, in every stage of fever, on filthy
straw in the corners."

A meeting—convened by the mayor in compliance with
a requisition—was held at Newcastle-on-Tyne, on Satur-
day, in order to pass a vote of confidence in the existing
banking establishments in that town. The speakers
showed that all the existing banks in the town were in
possession of ample funds to discharge the whole of their
obligations, and that the effects produced by the with
drawal of deposits would be felt, not by the banks, but
by the commercial classes, merchants, and tradesmen
generally, who look to the banks for that accommodation
which they have been aceustomed to receive in transact-
ing their business, and which has been necessarily cur-
tailed of late, in consequence of the pressure of the times.
Confidence and credit are the wings of commerce. With-
out confidence in his ability to dispose of the manufac-
tured article no man would devote his energies to its pro-
duction ' • and his means of disposing of it would be ex-
tremely limited indeed did he not possess the power which
credit affords of transferring his productions to other
markets than that which his own limited locality might
supply.
DREADFUL MURDER.—For some days, a man named
William Wilson, a marine-store dealer, Gravesend, had
been quarrelling with his wife, to whom he had only been
married a short time. The quarrel, it aepears, com-
menced on Monday morning, when, after abusing his wife
for some hours, he left the house, and did not return un-
til midnight, but, after going to bed, he continued his
abuse, which induced his wife to leave the bed, and she
sat up the rest of the night. The murderer did not get up
until 10 o'clock on Wednesday morning, When, after par-
taking of breakfast, he left the house, and did not return
till half-past 12. He was then "rather fresh," but not
intoxicated. His wife remonstrated with him upon his li
conduct, and high words again ensued, which continued
for nearly two hours, when, upon his wife saying he was a
disgrace to society, he took up a large stick, and said,
" Now we will see who shall be master," upon which he
aimed a fearful blow at her head, which took effect imme-
diately under the left ear. The poor creature immediately.
fell down, exclaiming, "lam a murdered woman." Me-
dical assistance was immediately procured, but the poor
woman soon died.
DARING BURGLARY AT BOROUGH FEN.—Between the
hours of one and two o'clock on the morning of Saturday
week, the dwelling-house of Mrs. Hilliam, at Borough
Fen, near Crowland, was entered by three ruffians. They
effected an entrance by taking out the pantry window, and
proceeded up stairs to the bedroom door, which was
locked and bolted. The noise made by forcing open the
door awoke the graund-daughter, who was sleeping with
Mrs. Hilliam, and is very infirm. The villains having
made their way into the room masked, and having a
lighted candle and cudgels with them, began to pull the
bed-clothes off the bed. The young woman screamed
out, when one of the fellows seized her, and swore he
would cut her throat if she did not hold her noise. The
pulling off the bedclothes awoke the old lady, and made
her conscious of her situation, when she at once got out
of bed and ran down stairs, with the intentiun of alarming
the neighbours. The fellows missing the old lady, one of
them followed her and seized her by the throat as she was
unlocking the front door, and threw her down, swearing
that he would murder her if she made any alarm, and
there held her until the others had plundered the bed-
room of ten sovereigns, twenty shillings in silver, a quan-
tity of copper coin. two teaspoons marked " E,' one
tablespoon marked "A. G." a pair of silver-mounted
spectacles, a bunclKof keys, some writing, ft.—Lincoln-
shire Chronicle,

Oct. 26, IS4/.

A POPE'S LEGATE IN ENGLAND.—The Dublin corres-
ondent of the rimes, in noticing an extra convocation of
he Irish Catholic bishops on the 19th instant, gives the
ollowing as one of the rumours why the convocation is
held a month before the ordinary period. It is to the
effect. that a communication had been received by Arch-
bishop Crolly announcing that a negotiatien is in progress
having for its object the appointment of a Cardinal Legate,
who is to reside in England, and who is to be the medium
of communication between the Court of St. James's and
the Vatican, upon questions involving the government of
the Roman Catholic church in Britain and Ireland. In
this office, it is added, the Legate will be assisted by the
experience of Archbishop Nicholson (late of Corfu), who
is to act as secretary to the legation. The project, it is
sain, will, inter alia, form part of the deliberations of the
Irish prelates 4 the ensuing meeting; and its success will
in a great measure depend upon the course that that body
may think fit to adopt with r-gard to it.
AN EXCITING QUADRILLE.—M. Jullien has announced
a " Swiss Quadrille," one part of which is described by
ttina- as follows :—" A village fete is in course of celebra-
tion.—The sun sets and night comes on.—The spring, the
period when the dreadful avalanches fall, has arrived, and
the thunder-like noise in the distance interrupts the fete,
and warns the villagers of the near approach of the awful
visitation.—The sound of the fitful wind and the drift-
ing rain, mingled with the wild cry of the eagle and
other affrighted birds, are sure tokens of the coming storm.
—The terror of the people increases with the violenc of.
the tempest ; and the mountain torrent bursts its banks,-
threatening to overwhelm the devoted village. This con-
vulsion of the elements detaches the overhanging aval-
tnche, and with an awful crash it bounds down the moun-
tain side, carrying destruction in its path.—The village
bell rings, a shout resounds through the valley, and the
joyous chorus of the assembled villagers announces their
escape from the threatened danger." Truly Mr. Jullien
must have no small idea of his powers of musical expres-
sion if he expects to effect all this by his band ; and the
question arises how, if effected, people are to find courage
to dance amid these appalling circumstances. " Nero fid-
dling while Rome was burning" was nothing to it.
THE DRAPERY TRADE.—We lately mentioned the
agitation set on foot by the retail drapers in favor of 37
inches to the yard. The wholesale houses, it appears,
have taken counsel's opinion on the legality of the pro-
posed measure, and have received the following opinion
from Sir D. Dundas, the solicitor-general, and, Sir g.
Thesiger, the late attorney-general, in answer to a gat.- •
ment submitted tothem :—" We are of opinion, that all -----
contracts for the sale of goods and merchandise by any
other than the imperial standard measure are in violation
of the sth and 6th Wm. IV., cap. 63, which repeals so
much of the former-acts as allowed goods and merchandise
to be bought or sold by any measure established by local
custom or founded on special agreement. Contracts to
sell by the yard of 37 inches, being in our opinion illegal,
cannot be enforced at law. We are further of opinion,
that any combination of tradesmen, for the purpose of
compelling manufacturers or dealers to sell by any other
than the imperial standard measure, through the influence
of threats, whether direct or indirect, of withdrawing their
custom, or inducing others to do the same, is illegal ; and
that all parties engaged in such a combination, are guilty
of a misdemeanour. The statement discloses evidence of
such a combination, and we think that the parties con-
cerned have rendered themselves liable to be indicted for
a conspiracy." •

quite full, and several applicants for admission have been
refused, for want of room. The inmates consist princi-

Another establishment on a similar plan is in course of
construction in the same neighbourhood; and one for the
exclusive accommodation of single women of good cha-
racter, who obtain a livelihood by needlework and other
light employment, will be opened early in the ensuing
year. This last will be under the immediate superinten-
dence of a committee of ladies.
MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.—On the shore about four miles
below Dunoon there is situated a lovely little villa, the
summer residence of a gentleman as amiable and generous
as the spot he has chosen is lovely and romantic. It is
the only residence seen in the neighbourhood for some
little distance. Immediately behind, the earth has been
excavated, and the ground rises precipitously to a consi-
derable height. One evening lately the family had all
retired to bed, without observing anything unusual.
About the middle of the night the gentleman awoke, and,
feeling thirsty, rose for the purpose of obtaining a drink,
but, finding: that there was no water in his room, he went
out to a spring immediately behind the house. He had
no sooner returned and shut the door behind him, than a
most unearthly noise was heard, resembling that produced
by the shock of an earthquake. He went to the door,
found that he could not open it. In this state of matters,
having armed himself properly, he got out by the front
window, and, proceeding to the door, found that a COM..
plete avalanche of earth had come down upon the house,
and that the door by which he had so shortly before
en-
tered was blocked up, the earth reaching to the height of
five or six feet. Had he been but one minute later in en-
tering the house he would, no doubt, have met an instan-
taneous death. The labour of ten men were required
during the whole of the following day to remove the earth.
It is a fortunate thing that the house was not swept en
masse into the sea. The cause of the accident is consi-
dered to be the working of tke water through the channel
of some old drain which had loosened the earth, and sent
it down upon the well-nigh fated edifice.—Scotch paper.
THE ALLOTMENT, SYSTEM IN WoncEsTEnsinaE.—
Lord Lyttleton, as president of the Worcester Labourers'
Friend Society, has issued a lengthy circular to the pro- ,
prietors of allotments in the county. conveying the pro-
position for concentrating the system, and bringing the
whole of the several parcels of allotment in different parts
of the county under one control and management. To
effect this object his lordship proposes that the example
set in the Stewponey allotment system, established by Mr.
Foley, M.P., in connection with the Stewponey Agricul-
tural Society, should be followed, by appointing an agent,
whose duty it shall be to superintend and manage all the
allotments in the county, the allotment land to be rented
by trustees of landed proprietors, and underlet by the lat-
ter to the allotment tenants, and the salary of the agent
to be paid by an assessment on the allotment land of Bs.
per acre in addition to the rent, making 2s. additional
rent for every allotment of a quarter of an acre. Lord
Lyttelton, after divulging the nature of the proposed Pla:.
thus concludes his letter to the proprietors of allotment
land :—" The question, therefore, which I venture to Pub
to you is, whether you would be willing, instead of letting
the land which you now let in allotments directly to the
occupier, to let it to the society, to be by them underlet in.
the manner which I have described to those occupiers.
We cannot ask you to do this on any plea of direct advan- •
tage either to yourself or to the occupiers. I have, in-
deed, endeavoured to show that it would in no degree be
injurious to them, and that, in fact, they would be in
about the same position as before ; and with respect to
yourself, as landlord, I hope it has also been made clear
that while you would be circumstanced as before with re-
gard to the selection of, and control over your tenants,
you would have a better security in the persons of the.
trustees of the society for the rent than the occupiers can
give, and much trouble would be saved to yourself or your
agent in the management of the land and the collection of
the rents. But Ido not mean to hold out any such con-
sideration as the motive which we wish to set before you•
for complying with this request. I address you, as a
friend to the allotment system, to comply with it as the
means of extending over the country generally the bene-
fits of that system, and chiefly in districts where there do
not exist landowners with the same active goodwill
towards it which you have shown in the establishment of
your own allotments!'
SHOCKING CRUELTY BY A MOTHER.—On Monday
last, a case of the most flagrant cruelty was investigated
by the magistrates at the Hull police court. Immediately
prior to the rising of the court, a police-officer brought in
a little lad in his arms, with a chain fastened to one of his
legs, weighing upwards of 281bs. He was a fine healthy
looking lad, about ten years of age. The mother and the
elder brother of the child were placed in the dock, and
the following facts were deposed by the several witnesses.
It appears that their mother, whose name is Charlotte •
Bilton, is a widow, residing in Queen's-square, Blanket-
row, and the other prisoner, who is her eldest son, is a
clerk or traveller in the employ of Messrs. Clay and
Squires of this town. About eleven o'clock this morning
a man named Pearson, who lives next door to the female
prisoner, gave information to the police that a boy was
being very cruelly treated in a house in Blanket-row.
Inspector D'Orsey immediately went to the house, in
company with Pearson, and on examining a garret, found
the lad chained to the wall in a corner of the room. He
was lying on an empty mattress. He asked the female
prisoner the reason for such treatment, and she said her
eldest son had done it by her orders, because he was an
unruly and mischievous lad, and that he had been chained
there for a fortnight. The room was in a most filthy
condition, in consequence of the poor lad not having
access to a water closet during the whole of the time.
The inspector asked the lad, in the presence of his mother,
what he had had to eat during the time, and he said he
had had nothing but bread and water, and sometimes a
little coffee. He also stated that his mother had fre-
quently beaten him since he was chained up. The
inspector immediately took off the chain, and brought the
lad to the police court. Pearson, who had given the
information to Inspector D'Orsey, stated, that he had
frequently heard chains rattling in the next room, but did
not think the lad was chained up. He had several times
seen him let down a kind of rope from the window, which
he had made by tying pieces of string together, and hoist
up pieces of bread which the lads gave him from the street
below. On several occasions, also, he had heard the
sound of blows, apparently inflicted on the lad, and had
also heard him cry. The lad had several times told him
through the window that he was hungry. The mother.,
on being called on for her defence, admitted that her son
had chained him up by her orders. She said that he was
the worst lad in her family, and that she had no other
means of keeping him in the house. Some time ago he
had stolen nine sovereigns from one of her lodgers, and
she had tried every means of reforming him, but without
effect. The lad was asked by the magistrates if he really
did steal the sovereigns, and he stated that he had done
so, but that his other brother had made him do it. She
was ordered to find two sureties in £5 to keep the peace
for the next three months. The lad was ordered to in
sent to the Charity Hall.---kfull Packet..
