Schloss's Bijou Almanack. Schloss, Berners-street, London.
One of the greatest curiosities we have seen for some time
is Mr. Schloss's Bijou Almanack._ This elegant little work
is a fitting present to a lady at this season. It is remarkable
not only for its beautiful exterior, bat for its graceful con-
tents from the elegant pen of the Honourable Mrs. Norton
It has several cleverly-executed engravings, presentin

with portraits of "The Princess Royal," "Charles Dicke]
" John Murray," " Staudigl," sweet " Ellen Tree,"
" Mdlle. Rachel." Sir E. Lytton Bulwer fancifully st
this little literary curiosity " The Iltumning-bird of
Annuals." The almanack, case, and glass to read it v
are under the weight of the penny stamp. We copy the

lowing from the contents :

ELLEN TREE.
Graceful and gentle on the mimic scene
As in the quiet of the social hour;
Nature's own lady, both in form and mein,

Stately and proud, yet flexible as a flower ;
Round THEE may rally those who would uphold
A fair profession doomed to suffer slight,—
And, by thy very purity made bold,
Choose thee as type, whereby to do it right :
For never be the Artist-calling scorned
Which in its motley bosom fostered THEE ;
Many bright names its annals have adorned ' •
Nor least among the highest, THINE shall be !

THE PRINCESS ROY AI.
God's blessing on thee, Royal babe

Welcome thy little picture comes,
Whether the hearts that greet it dwell
In lofty or in humble homes.
For many a mother while she rocks
Her own young darling on her knee
And many a father pleased to watch

His daUghter's beidding infancy—
Mingle with these, their household cares
Thoughts which to thee are fondly give
Thou art " the child of many prayers ;"
Oh ! may they all be heard in heaven.

A Letter to the Right Hon. Lord Stanley, on African
migration to Jamaica, British Guiana, and Trini,
Liverpool: William Grapel, Church-street. 1842.

We have pleasure in directing the attention of our re

to an able letter addressed to the Colonial Secretary, upon
the subject of African Immigration to Jamaica, British
Guiana, and Trinidad. The views of the writer are put
forward in a calm and temperate tone, and are clearly ex-
pressed ; and, backed by the strong statistical evidence which
he brings forward with respect to the present condition and
wants of our colonies, are well calculated to carry conviction
to the mind of the most prejudiced reader, of the wisdom of
the course which he points out for the adoption of the Colo-
nial-office.

We shall recur to the statements and arguments con-
tained in this letter, in which we fully concur, on another
At present we shall only recommend it to the
perusal of every reader who is interested in the prosperity
of our West India possessions, and, more particularly, of all
who have at heart the future welfare and civilization of the
African race, and the abolition of negro slavery and the slave
trade throughout the world.

occasion

It is somewhat a remarkable circumstance that on the last
three or four Christmas-days fires of a most calamitous cha-
*racter have occurred in London. Such was the case on Sa-
turday last, when no less than eight tires, some of which were
attended with a frightful sacrifice of valuable property, took
place.
THE LATE MR. WEST.—The press of Dublin have paid a

_
unanimous tribute of respect to the memory of this gentle-
man, and the inhabitants of that city have resolved to erect a
monument to his memory.

The three Chancellors who have held the seals of office
longest are, Lord Ellesmere, twenty years within a few days ;
Lord Hardwicke, twenty years and nine months ; and Lord
Eldon, during the two periods of his being in office, twenty-
five years within a few days.

The appetite of Louis XIV. was so remarkable, that, we
are informed, he used frequently to eat at dinner four plates
of soup, a whole pheasant, a partridge, a large plateful of
salad, mutton with gravy and garlic, two good slices of ham,
and a plateful of pastry, besides fruits and sweetmeats.

We are gratified at learning that, notwithstanding the pre-
vailing distress, there is a manifest improvement in the
revenue receipts for the current quarter. The advance is
steady, and if what we hear be true the January returns will
be very favourable indeed.— Observer.
Lord John Russell, Lord Palmerston, and other members
of the late cabinet, are to be on New Year's Day at Bowood,
the noble Marquis of Lansdowne's seat, on a visit of mutual
condolence at the prospect of the coming session.

Sir Philip Egerton, one of the members for South Cheshire
in addition to his usual Christmas donation '

has given

blankets to 80 poor families, residing near Oulton, and at
Egerton, Broxtou, and Bickerton, in this count', where a
considerable portion of Sir Philip's estates lie, in remem-
brance of the birth of the Prince of Wales and Earl of Ches-
ter. In the centre of each blanket is wove the Prince's fea-
thers, and the day of his birth.

VACANT SEATS IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.—The
election of the following conservative candidates for the va-
cant seats may be regarded as certain :—Lord Jocelyn. for
Lynn ' • Mr. Arkwright, for Leominster; Mr. Serjeant Jack-
son, for the University of Dublin ; Lord Barnard, for Ban-
don.

" How far is it to -? " " Why it 's eight miles."
" Eight devils I why a man told me a mile back, that it was
only six." " Well, seeing that your an old man, and your
horse looks tired, and you seem impatient, we 'll call it

A NEW YEAR'S-DAY IN NEW YORK.-ItiS the custom
in New York for the gentlemen to visit all their acquaint-
ances on the first day of the year, and the omission of this
observance, in regard to any particular observance, would be
considered as a decided slight. The routine is as follows :
The ladies of a family remain at home to receive visits, the
gentlemen are abroad actively engaged in paying them. You
enter. shake hands, are seated, talk for a minute or two on
the topics of the day, then hurry off as fast as you can. Wine
and cake are upon the table, of which each visitor is invited
to partake. The custom is of Dutch origin, and its influence
on the social intercourse of families is very salutary ; the
first day of the year is considered a day of kindness and re-
conciliation, on which petty differences are forgotten, and
trifling injuries are forgiven. It sometimes happens that be-
tween friends long connected a misunderstanding takes place;
each is too proud to make concessions, alienation follows,
and thus are two families, very probably, permanently es-
tranged. But, on this day of annual amnesty, each of the
offended parties call on the wife of the other; kind feelings
are recalled, past grievances overlooked, and, at the next
meeting, they take each other by the hand, and are again
friends.

DEATH FROM GLANDERS.—John Hessian, carrier between
Dublin and Balinrobe, died on Sunday morning, 26th inst.,
of this dreadful disease, caught by infection from his own
horse. The animal presented some signs of the disease, and,
about three weeks since, the unfortunate owner supposed
that he might be able to save his beast by cutting out the
swelled gland from under the animals jaws. It could not be
ascertained that in this operation he suffered from a cut. He
came to Dublin with the same horse for a loading on the 16th
instant; on the 18th he complained of being ill; and on the
22d he was received into the Hardwick Hospital, under Dr.
Corrigan, when he died on the morning of the 26th, with all
the usual terribly repulsive symptoms of this formidable poi-
son. Instances of this kind have of late years become not
unfrequent, both in this country and in France. Measures
of inspection and prevention are already under consideration
in France, and the growing frequency of the occurrence, with
the certain termination of the disease in death, calls for some-
thing similar among ourselves. Not only is the disease cer-
tain death to the human being who first catches it, but it is
equally fatal to those about the sick person, should they hap-
pen to catch the infection; and some idea may be formed of
the terror inspired even in the medical profession by this
dreadful malady, when it is known that bed and bedding are
ordered to be burnt which may have come in contact with
glanders.—Dublin Mail.

WONDERFUL INSTANCE OF
,SAGACITY IN A DOG

About eight months ago a gentleman belonging to this city
embarked at Port Philip for Scotland. In the bustle and
confusion of preparing for so long a voyage a favourite dog
disappeared, about a couple of days before the vessel in which
he returned left Port Philip ; and as all the enquiry he was
able to make turned out to be fruitless, he was under the
necessity of leaving his four-footed friend behind him. Ile
arrived in Edinburgh about two months ago, and, wonderful
to tell, within the last three weeks was surprised by a visit
from the animal he had left at Port Philip about eight months
before. Upon enquiry it turns out that the dog had gone a-
board of a ship on the eve of sailing for London ; that once
aboard, he resolutely refused to be put ashore, and by dint of
sheer resolution obtained a passage. On his arrival in Lon-
don, it is ascertained, that he visited the lodgings formerly
occupied by his master, and failing in discovering the object
of his search,:immediately disappeared, and was not again
heard of until his arrival in Edinburgh. Familiar as we are

with instances of the affection and sal2acitv of the dog, this is
perhaps the most extraordinary ex-ample on record. His
going on board of an English ship many thousand miles from
home, his refusal to quit it, his visit to the former lodgings
of his master on his arrival in London, and his journey from
London to Edinburgh, rank the subject of this brief notice
as one of the most wonderful animals of his species. The
gentleman to whom he belongs is well known in Edinburgh,
and is the son of a gentleman, who, within the last 20 years
has filled various offices of civic dignity.—Scotswan.

NEW YEAR'S GIFTS.—The custom of new year's gifts is
very ancient, and was formerly carried to a great extent.
The Sovereign used to accept gifts from his courtiers and
principal favourites, and was also in the habit of making
presents to certain individuals ; the prince, however, always
taking care that the presents he received greatly exceeded in
value those which he gave. It is recorded of Bishop Latimer
that, on one occasion, he presented to his master, Henry
VIII., instead of a sum in gold for a new year's gift, a New
Testament, with the leaf folded down at Hebrews, chap.
xiii. verse 4 ; on reference to which he found a text well
suited as an admonition to himself. Queen Elizabeth sup-
plied herself with wardrobe and jewels principally from new
year's gifts. Dr. Drake has given a list of some of these
presents ; amongst the items we find the following :
" most of the peers and peeresses of the realm, the bishops,
the chief officers of state, her Majesty's household, even as
low as the master of the pantry and head cook, all gave her
Majesty a Christmas-box, consisting either of a sum of
money, jewels, trinkets, or wearing apparel. The Archbishop
of Canterbury usually gave £4O, the Archbishop of York
£3O, and the other prelates from £lO to £2O. The peers
gave in the same proportion, whilst the peeresses presented
rich gowns, petticoats, shifts, stockings, garters, &c. Her
physician presented her with a box of foreign sweetmeats,
and from her apothecary she received a box of ginger-candy,
and a box of green ginger. Ambrose Lupo gave her a box of
lute strings ' • and Smith, the royal dustman, presented her
Majesty with two bolls of cambric."
MExico.—(Extract from a private Letter.)—You have,
no doubt, heard that our revolution has terminated in
favour of the Liberal party. Santa Anna, who has replaced
Bustamente in the Presidency, works with energy for the
public good : we look forward to great reforms, which will
and promote the happiness of the

tained 3 1-3 d per cent. on the consumption
duty here. This change, so long desired, will give great
activity to business, which according to all appearance, will
shortly be very brisk. Goods, being, generally speaking, far
from abundant, will sell at more favourable prices, for, as,
the interior is short of stocks, it must necessanlv be supplied
from the capital. The custom-house debentures, 16 2-3ds
per cent., admissable to the payment of duties in our custom-
houses, continue to be wanted here; the duties must conse-
quently be paid in cash, and in many cases at an expense of
5 per cent., arising from the exchange. It is difficult to un-
derstand why the holders of such certificates do not send them
here to be cashed. The State of Tobasco has just recognised
the government of Santa Anna, and it is expected that Cam-
peachy will follow its example. A conducta, with specie.
will leave for Vera Cruz at the end of the month. Those of

STOPPAGE OF PAYMENTS BY THE TOWN OF PAISLEY.
—During the last few days, the suspension of payments by
the town of Paisley has been the general theme of conversa-
tion, and has added much to the regret and alarm so gene-
rally caused of late by the unprecedented privations to which
the working people of Paisley have been subjected. The first
intimation of this event was made on Tuesday evening last,
at a meeting of council, after the public and the press had
retired, when the chamberlain was ordered to suspend, in the
meantime, all payments, and to proceed, with all possible
despatch, in realising the outstanding debts due to the com-
munity, for the regular payment of the interest on the money
borrowed, and other current engagements of the burgh. The
first and most palpable effect of this stoppage has been felt
by the depositors in the savings' banks, two of which insti-
tutions are connected with the town, one termed the Cart,
and the other the Community Savings' Banks, the objects of
which were to raise funds for the improvement of the Cart.
When the first rumour of the stoppage got currency, nume-
rous applications were made by depositors for the amount of
their deposits; but all payments were of course refused by
the chamberlain, in consequence of the instructions he had
received from the council the evening before. The amount
of funds in these banks is £19,000. Of the debts proper to
the burgh, it is said that one hill of £1,200 is laying over
under protest, and another of £4,000 will be due in the course
of a few days. Of the causes which have led to this unfor-
tunate issue, various and very contradictory accounts are
given.

PROPORTIONS OF DEATHS.—We extract the following
from the third annual report of the registrar-general of births,
marriages and deaths :—" In the northern counties, 16 in
10,000 males die violent deaths annually ; in Staffordshire,
Warwickshire, and the other western counties, 14 ; in Lan-
cashire and Cheshire, 13 ; in Cornwall and the other south-
western counties, 11 ; in the metropolis, 8 ; in Easex, Suf-
folk, and Norfolk, 7. The deaths of females by violence are
most numerous in Cheshire, Lancashire, the western coun-
ties, and Yorkshire, where they are employed in factories,
and are exposed to accidents by machinery. In Kent and
the other south-eastern counties, 3 females in 10,000 died
violent deaths ; in Lancashire and Cheshire, 5 in 10,000 an-
nually. Mr. Farr gives an abstract of 5,519 cases of violent
deaths, showing the ages of the persons. From the table it
appears, that of that number two-thirds of the males were
aged 20 and upwards, while less than half of the females were
of that age. Under 20 the number of males was 1,311; the
females, 853. At the age of 20 and upwards the males were
2,650; the females, 705. Nearly half (5,315) of the violent
deaths in the country happen to men above 20 years of age;
44 per cent. are 20 and under 60 ; so that, exclusive of sui-
cides and the deaths at sea, 4,367 men in the prime of life are
cut off every year in England by injuries and accidents of
various kinds. 86 sailors, watermen, or fishermen died vio-
lent deaths. 21 engineers, stokers, and firemen were killed
in one year in the metropolis, and that chiefly in the steam-
vessels on the Thames. It is supposed that 1,000 lives are
annually lost in sailing vessels alone by shipwreck. It will
be found that 2,451 persons are drowned every year is
England.

CHARTIST MEETINGS.—APPREHENDED DISTURBANCES.
—BIRMINGHAM, MONDAY EVENING.—The leaders of the
chartists have been actively engaged, during the past week,
in organising a plan of operations for carrying out their fa-
vourite doctrine of " physical force" during the holidays.
Aware that a large number of the colliers in the mining dis-
tricts of Staffordshire were on short time, or out of employ-
ment, they projected a series of public meetings, with the
ostensible view of discussing the question of the charter in
Bilston, Wednesbury, and other towns, when, like their co-
patriots of the " league," they might turn the existing dis-
tress to advantage, in exciting the people to acts of violence.
The first of these meetings took place this morning, at Bil-
ston, about three or four miles from Wolverhampton, and
large numbers of colliers were, in consequence, drawn into
the town, which they paraded in bands of from four to five
hundred persons, to the great alarm of the inhabitants. The
magistrates having early intimation of the movements of the
chartists, applied last night to the authorities in Birmingham.
and in the course of the morning Mr. Burgess, chief commis-
sioner of police, and about 150 of the force under his com-
mand, proceeded to Bilston, to render any aid that might be
necessary in preserving the peace. A troop of dragoons,
which have been lately drafted from Birmingham to Wolver-
hampton. were also kept in readiness ; but, up to four o'clock
this evening, no acts of violence have taken place, the mob
confining themselves to yells and similar ebullitions of feel-
ing, in front of the houses of the principal inhabitants, and
other persons who are considered obnoxious to the views of
Mr. Feargus O'Connor and his myrmidons. The chartists,
it is reported, intended to march in a body into Wolverhamp-
ton to-night; but should they do so, with the view of hold-
ing one of the torch-light meetings threatened by Mr. O'Con-
nor during his recent visit to Birmingham, they will meet
with a warmer reception than they calculate upon.

ALARMING INDISPOSITION OF NINE PERSONS FROM
TAKING MUTTON BROTH.—On Monday last, the inmates in
the house of Mr. Carman, Faulkner-street, St. Peter's, were
thrown into a state of great alarm, caused by the sudden in-
disposition of nine individuals, shortly after dinner on that
day. It seems that Mr. and Mrs. Baker (of the Theatre-
Royal), and two daughters, and Mr. and Mrs. H. Holl have
apartments at Mr. Carman's; and that, on Monday, at din-
ner, they, as well as Mr. Carman and his two daughters,
partook of some mutton broth, and, shortly afterwards,
during dinner, the Misses Baker complained of a sensation
of great heat in the throat and stomach. This was followed,
almost immediately, by violent vomiting. Mr. Holl was
soon afterwards seized with similar symptoms ; and all the
persons we have named subsequently experienced more or
less severe indisposition, apparently in the same proportion
in which they had taken heartily, or otherwise, of the broth.
Mr. Holt had a much more severe attack than Mr. Baker.
At first, of course, it was difficult to guess which of the
viands had thus affected the party ; but Mr. Baker's atten-
tion was first attracted to the broth, by perceiving a peculiar
sweetness in tasting it. Mr. Walker and Mr. Lowe, surge-
ons, were promptly called in, and they succeeded, by admin-
istering strong emetics, in placing all the sufferers out of
danger. Mr. Baker proceeded to the Theatre, but, after
having been there a short time, was obliged to return home,
so severe was his indisposition. Mr. Holl, who should also
have performed that evening, was also unable to do so, and
their parts were filled by other performers ; an announce-
ment being made to the audience of the cause of this change.
There seems strong reason for supposing, that some exeeed-
ingly deleterious substance, probably arsenic, had, by some
means unknown, become mixed with the oatmeal which was
used for the thickening of the broth. Messrs. Lowe and
Walker took possession of some of this oatmeal, which we
believe is to be placed in the hands of Mr. John Davies,
chemist, for analysis. There does not appear to be the
%lightest ground for suspecting any present inmate of the
hones of so serious a crime as the mixing a deadly poison
with an article of food : the oatmeal has been in the house
some thee; but at present further observation on this point
would be
premature. We regret to learn, on making inquiry
at Mr. Carman's yesterday afternoon, that, although out of
danger, all who partook of the broth are still suffering se-
verely from the injurious effects of the deleterious substance.
We believe Mr. Holl resumed his duties at the theatre last
evening, though still exceedingly weak from the attack. Mr.
and Mrs. Baker are still confined to the house. One of their
daughters had by no means recovered from the more severe

-A NEW WAY TO PAY OLD DEBTS."—To judge by the
accounts received from the model republic, the Mississippi
bonds would seem to offer a strong inducement to capitalists
to invest in them. It appears that the state of Mississippi
" resists the payment of the 5,000,000 of dollars in state
bonds, delivered to the Mississippi Union Bank, and nego-
tiated by that institution." The governor of the state, who
rejoices in the name of M`Nutt, and who, it is said by the
Richmond Inquirer, in which his letter is published, " truly
understands the feelings and opinions of the people of Mis-
sissippi,"—is of opinion that the bonds will not be paid, and
thus expresses that opinion. "'firmly believe that POOR-
FIFTHS Of the people of this ENID PREFER GOING TO WAR
TO PAYING THE BONDS." There can be little doubt of
this,—for where is there to be found so ready a soldier as he
who has nothing to lose and all to gain ? The people of Mis-
sissippi seem to belong to that category of persons of whom
the renowned Caleb Baldwin of pugilistic memory was the
head, as we find it recorded in heroic verse—
" And for settling of balances, all I know is
'Tis the way Caleb Baldwin prefers settling his."
This is unquestionably a very satisfactory mode of settling
the question,—but we may be permitted to ask with whom
are the belligerent Mississippians going to war? Is it Kil-
kenny-cat fashion, amongst themselves, or do they propose
to disturb the harmony of the (Jailed states?—:'Morning
Herald.

in the parish of Llansilin, Denbighshire, was entered by a
band of ruffians about two o'clock in the morning of Friday
last. The burglars must evidently have been acquainted with
particulars as to the circumstances of Hughes and his family,
for the first thin-. they enquired after was " the money for
the cow," he having sold one at the last fair held in this
town. Being a careful man he had deposited the proceeds in
a bank, and of which they were disappointed. It appears
there were four of them in the gang, two of which entered
the house, the others remaining outside. With these two
the poor fellow and his wife bad a severe encounter, and
whom it woultrappear they successfully resisted. The ruf-
fiant were disguised, and armed with strong crowbars, one
of great length, and similar to those used in the limestone
quarries of the adjoining neighbourhood. Hughes was most
dreadfully abused about the head, and, from the nature of
the wounds, being inflicted by such murderous weapons, must
have had a miraculous escape. His aged wife did her utmost to
assist him, and in return received some very serious con-
tusions from blows, kicks, &c. Finding themselves nearly
worsted they made a signal for another of the party to come
to their assistance, and the poor helpless man and his wife
were overcome. The villains had their faces blacked, and
were otherwise disguised, one of them having his shirt over
what other garments he may have worn at the time. Disap-
pointed, no doubt, at not finding the money poor Hughes
had received for his cow, they dealt out their murderous
vengeance with a heavy hand, and he survives only by a
miracle. His courageous partner fared no better than him-
self, both, when first seen in the morning, presenting fright.
ful spectacles. The robbers took away with them wearing
apparel, eight pennyworth of copper, a few pounds of butter,
some bacon and salted pork, and other trifling articles. A
pretty accurate description of the burglars is given ; and,
although on Tuesday morning no tidings had been received
of their being taken, strong hopes are entertained of a clue
to their detection. In addition to Hughes and his wife,
there was a young girl in the house, who fortunately escaped
the notice of the robbers. Having had their wounds dressed
and promptly attended to by Mr. E. D. Bennion, surgeon,
Hughes and his wife are likely to get the better of the dread-
ful outrage; yet, from the last accounts we have received,
the woman is in a very languishing condition. A reward has
been offered for the discovery arid apprehension of the
parties, and the most praiseworthy exertions were being
made by the surrounding neighbourhood to bring them to
justice. The crow-bars are supposed to have been stolen
from the Treflach lime-stone quarries.—Salopian Journal.

DARING AND EXTENSIVE BURGLARY.—One of the most
daring outrages ever perpetrated in this country, and more
like those which were wont to be committed in Ireland, or
by the bandits of Italy or Spain, took place on the night of
the 22d instant, at South Wraxhall, near Bath, when five
armed burglars broke into the house of John Awdry, Esq.,
between the hours of eleven and twelve. They had effected

an entrance by the parlour window, having forced the shutter
and broken a pane of glass. Miss Awdry had retired to her
room, where she remained for some time; whilst there she
heard a noise in the rooms below, of which she (supposing
it was caused by the servants remaining up to iron) did not
take much notice ; but the disturbance continuing, she rose
from her seat to proceed down stairs to reprove them for
making the noise. As she turned towards the door, some
one at the outside gave a knock; she immediately opened it,
and to her great surprise she found three men and a boy upon,
the landing. Two fellows were left below as out-door and
in-door watch. With remarkable self-possession Miss Awdry
inquired " What do yo want ?" to which one of the men re-
plied, at the same time menacing her with a pistol, "We want
all we can get, and if'you make any noise we will give you the
contents of this." The father of the young lady is an aged
and infirm gentleman; and Miss Awdry fearful of the conse-
quences that might result to him, where he to be disturbed
by any sudden alarm, submitted to the indignities offered by
these ferocious wretches, without a murmur, under a pledge
from them that they would not disturb her father. In the
first place, they asked her how many there were in the house,
and being told only herself, two servants, and her father, they
compelled Miss Awdry to precede them to the servants'
room ; this done, the girls were awoke and threatened in a
similar manner as their mistress. In this room the thieves
broke open a box, from which they stole a silver thimble and
a shilling belonging to one of the servants. They then (com-
pelling Miss Awdry to accompany them to point out the pro-
perty) visited every room, ransacked every drawer, closet, and
cupboard, selecting everything which they considered worthy
of their notice. In one cupboard they found some brandy
and salt, which they drank very speedily, but which they af-
terwards found to be more troublesome than was anticipated.
After taking possession of gold and silver plate, and other ar-
ticles, to the number of 222, they sat themselves down in one
of the rooms, and with the most perfect nonchalance ordered
Miss Awdry to bring them money and wine, at the same time
again showing the pistol ; the sideboard was at once unlocked,
and two decanters of wine placed upon the table, accom-
panied by £l5. This money did not satisfy the wretches,
and they demanded more. Miss Awdry remarked that she
had no more, when they threatened that they " would go up
to the old man ;" and that if she resisted they would shoot
her. "Do as you please with me, but don't go near my fa-
ther," was the answer of the affectionate daughter ; and she
went to her father's room to look for more money. She re-
turned with £l5 more, but that did not satisfy the villains,
who swore that they must have some more " to drink her
health with." Finding that, remonstrance would be in vain,
Miss Awdry went a second time to her father's room, and
took from his pocket one sovereign and some silver, which
she gave to them ; after which they wished her good morn-
ing, and left the house with their valuable booty. Most of
the plate stolen is marked with a lion's head in a Dncal Co-
ronet. The daring character of the outrage has greatly
alarmed all the neighbourhood about Bradford, more espe-
cially those inhabiting solitary houses, whose inmates dread a
similar midnight visit from a gang whose numbers are suffi-
cient to overpower a whole family. £25 is offered as a re.
ward for the detection of the villains, who are thought to be
London thieves, and it is to be hoped that the county of
Wilts will see ie propriety of raising the reward to 4;100.
The police of this and all the adjoining counties are duly ap-
prised of these circumstances, and we sincerely wish that the
villains may speedily be captured.—Worcester Journal,

heard respecting it than he had in believing that be was then
addressing them." Then, again, the manure will be exceed-
ingly cheap, the cost per acre being estimated at between
Iss. and 20s. ; it is light in its bulk, and can be conveyed at
a small cost to different parts of the country. We lire glad
to find that experiments are about to be tried by several of
the principal agriculturists of the kingdom. At a meeting of
the Royal Agricultural Society of England, held at London
on the 11th instant, the Duke of Richmond said, " He would
try it on any land the party liked ; he had some very poor
and some %ery good land, and he would make a very fair re-
port of the result. His lordship had no doubt that his noble
friends, Earl Spencer and Earl Ducie, would try it also, and
then all could make report." In our own neighbourhood,
William Miles, Esq., and Captain Scobell, are about to try
it ; therefore, ere the lapse of another year, we shall be put
in possession of the results of the various experiments,
which, if they should prove favourable (and at present we
see no reason to doubt it), will confer incalculable benefits
upon the agriculture of this country ; so that, in the lan-
guage of Mr. Miles, " England will not only grow wheat
sufficient for its own population, bat will become an export-
ing country."—Bristol Mirror.
A ROMANTIC STORY.—A Bayonne journal gives the fol-
lowing romantic tale from the Aldudes :—" In the valley of
the Bastan lived two brothers on the most affectionate
terms, occupying the cottage, and enjoying the small pro-
perty left them by their parents, in common. Ramon, the
eldest, was a robust man, cultivating the land, leading the
cattle to pasture, and seldom returning home without game
of his own killing. Many a wolf fell from the bullets of his
gun, or his iron-shod staff. Antonio, the younger, was less
in size and strength, amiable, contenting himself with per-
forming domestic duties, even works of the needle, consult-
ing in all things the tastes and comforts of his more hardy
brother. Antonio had been taught to read, and thereby was
enabled to amuse Ramon during long winter evenings, while
he was mending his nets and tackle. In a cottage near them
resided a respectable family of Saville, composed of a father,
mother, and three daughters. Mariana, the eldest, acknow-
ledged to be the prettiest girl of the valley, not only managed
the household affairs of her own dwelling, but frequently
aided Antonio with her advice. In time, Antonio became
enamoured of Mariana, and made a confidant of his brother,
who, approving his choice, urged him to declare his love. The
timidity of the youth, however, prevented him from speaks
ing, and be at length was so melancholy from the weight of
his love, that Ramon determined to go and demand Mariana
in marriage for Antonio. The parents raised no objections
to the match, and said they would refer to their daughter.
Days and nights passed away, and no answer was sent, al-
though Mariana continued her accustomed assiduities at the

cottage of the brothers. Antonio at length was so reduced
by this suspense that he took to his bed. On seeing his dis-
tress Ramon threW aside all his Spanish haughtiness, and
went again to his neighbours to require their answer. He

was aiain referred to-Mariana, whom he reproached with
her obduracy. Thus pressed, Mariana declared that she
loved another, and, hiding her face from shame, avowed
that other to be Ramon ! Overwhelmed as by a thunder-
bolt, the unhappy youth, uttering some incoherent expres-
sions, rushed to the bedside of his brother, told in two words
the fatal truth, and dropped lifeless on the floor. Antonio
became frenzied, and has since expired, also raving out the
name of his beloved brother. They have both been interred
in the same grave ; and, in three days afterwards, Mariana
died of grief for the loss of Ramon."
SINGULAR DEATH.—A lady arrived in Exeter last Mon-
day week, bringing a female servant with her. On the day
after her arrival, the latter broke a looking-glass. She be-
came greatly alarmed at the trifling accident, covered the
glass over with a handkerchief, and turned it to the wall that
she might not see it. _ She expressed her conviction that it

foreboded a life of trouble andinisfortune, and couid not dis-

miss the subject from her mind. She said " she should never
prosper in the world again." Haunted by this idea, she be-
came sad and dejected, and went to bed on the Wednesday,
two days after the accident, poorly and miserable, retiring
earlier than usual on account of her illness. The next day
she was worse, and her mistress desired her not to get up.
On Friday one of the most experienced of the medical gentle-
men of the city was called in. He found her free from bodily
pain, but suffering under a perfect prostration of strength
and spirits. She continued to sink till twelve o'clock the
next day, .when she expired, a victim to the absurd supersti-
tion of the dreadful consequences of breaking a looking-
glass.—Hampshire Standard.

THE TWEED BANK.—The first meeting of the credit Ors of
Messrs. W. S. Batson, J. Wilson, and J. Longhorn, part-
ners in the Tweed Bank, Berwick, bankrupts, was held at
the large assembly-room of the King's Arms Inn, in that
town, on Wednesday, for the purpose of receiving proofs of
debts and appointing assignees. The room was crowded to
excess with anxious creditors, from town and country,
throughout the day ; and, after sitting from ten o'clock in
the morning till eight at night receiving proofs of debts, the
commissioners adjourned the meeting until the following
morning, when the business of admitting claims was resumed,
and at its close the assignees were elected. The amount of
proofs admitted on Wednesday and Thursday was very large,
and it waa thought that the liabilities of the bank would
amount to nearly £350,000. The deposits prove to be very
heavy indeed, and the note circulation is also considerable.
There are several large debtors to the estate, and as to the
amount of dividend much must, of course, depend upon their
ability to discharge, or satisfactorily compound, their obliga-
tions. It is believed, however, that the assets are considera-
ble, and that they will be divided with all practicable de-
spatch.—Scotch paper.

MURDER OF THE BOY THOMAS MAGUIRE.--SiDCe the
holding of the inquest on the remains of the above ill-fated
child the county coroner, Mr. James M'Carthy, M.D., has
been indefatigable in attending to every information calcu-
lated to throw any light that might possibly lead to the dis-
covery of the perpetrator of the atrocious murder. Ad-
ditional depositions to those given on the inquest have from
day to day been received by him in his magisterial capacity.
Some portion of this goes strongly in corroboration of the
former evidence, establishing the fact of the boy having been
seen with the prisoner Delahunt, shortly prior to the dis-
covery of the body in the lane off Pembroke road : while
other portions of these subsequent informations refer to
different points bearing on the case. We select the follow-
ing:—James Maguire, a market boy, living at 4, Cherry-lane,
Great Britain-street, was, in consequence or a statement
made by him to the coroner, sent on Thursday to Kilmain-
ham prison, where, amongst seven or eight other persons, he
he at once identified the prisoner John Delahunt, and whom
he deposed to having seen, on the afternoon of Monday last,
at halt-past five o'clock, enter Mr. Drake's public-house, in
Capel-street, with a boy, answering generally to the des-
cription of the deceased Thomas Maguire, whose body he had
viewed also on Thursday at the Irishtown police station-
house. Soon after entering the public-house Delahunt went
out, leaving the boy behind him ; he returned in about a
quarter of an hour, and, without mentioning any name, desired
the child to come away; the little fellow did so, and they left
the place. It appeared that a boy named Butler, living in Plun-
ket-st., had stated that on Monday he saw a man go up to the
deceased, who was at the time at play with other children in
Francis-street, and call him by his name, Thomas Maguire,
telling him to go with him, which the other did. An infor-
mation was sworn by Thomas Gavan, aged 10 years, from
which it appeared that while he and two other boys, named
Michael Harney and John Hand, were at play in the field
described at the inquest as adjoining the lane off Pembroke-
road, in which the murder had been committed, he found,
within a few yards of the wall bounding the lane, a knife.
The knife was produced. It appeared to be an ordinary
breakfast knife, having a white haft, the blade rather consi-
derably worn, and narrowed very much towards the point,
but the edge not particularly sharp. Some parts of the blade
bore marks strongly resembling blood stains. There was
further evidence besides that adduced before the coroner
in the first instance, showing that the deceased had been seen
late in the afternoon of Monday, in company with Delahunt,
in the neighbourhood of Baggot-street. A person named
James Mooney, resident in Eastmorland-street, deposed, on
Monday last, that on Monday evening, the 20th instant,
at about ten minutes to seven o'clock, he saw John Delahunt,
whom he had known by sight for some three or four weeks
previously, walking up and down in a stable lane off East-
morland.lanc. The foregoing comprises the principal of the
facts elicited since Monday last. On Christmas morning
the body of the murdered boy (which had lain at the Irish-
town police station-house since the view of it by the jury on
Tuesday), was consigned to the grave in St. Kevin's Church-
yard.—. Dublin Freeman's Journal.

DEATII OF MR. CHARLES SCOTT.—How vain are often
our most cherished hopes and ambition ! Sir Walter Scott
expected—toiled—and died—to found an estate. His family
was then numerous, and the Scotts of Abbotsford were, in
his imagination to rival any of the border chiefs of the olden
time. A long line of descendants would regard him, .the
poet founder of the family, with pride and veneration ! It
seems certain, now, that the direct succession will not con-
tinue beyond the present generation. His eldest son has no
family ; the second has died in a foreign country without
issue ; both his daughters are dead. Misfortune and death
have lowered the crest of Abbotsford—and the halls which
Sir Walter took such pride in rearing, will scarcely ever be
again trod by one of his children. The only survivor is now
in India. Mr. Charles Scott was in his thirty-sixth year. He
was of a reserved and diffident temper and disposition, but
possessed of considerable intelligence, and a fund of quiet
humour, which he delighted to exercise among his ;
private
friends. He was carefully educated at Oxford, but from his
unobtrusive manner and retired habits,was little known, and
made no exertion, beyond his official duties and a few of his
Mends and relations.—lnverness Courier.

The country dealers as usual during Christmas week, continue
to buy very sparingly, which causes a greater bulk to be thrown at
the present on the retail market, but the den and for town con-
sumption continues steady, yet from the above cause, the business
doing is more circumscribed, although we cannot note any mate-
rial reduction in price since our last quotations :—viz. Maux,
Scotch and Irish Cups is lld to 2s id; round and rough Reds 2s Id
to 2s 3d ; Seedlings 2s 2d to 2s 4d per yolks.

There continues a very good demand for our neighbouring farm
produce, which realize the following prices :—viz. Pink eyed Po-
tatoes 25 3d to 2s ; Cups 2s to 2s 3d ; Short-tops Is lldto 2s 2d;
Cattle Is 7d to is 10d per 201 b. Turnips 22s to 925 Ed; Mangle-
wurzle 20s; Carrots ns to 42s per ton. Old Hay 8d to Ind; new

Oat aid 4d; Barley ltd to lid per 24Ibs.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, DEC. 28.
The arrivals, Coastwise and from Ireland, since this day
week contain a fair accession of Wheat, Barley, and Flour,
with a moderate quantity of Oats, and a large increase of
Oatmeal. From Canada, the United States, and Continent
of Europe, collectively, the import of Wheat, Pease, and
Flour is considerable, which, with several parcels of foreign
Barley and Beans, furnish altogether an abundant supply.
To meet these accumulations, and a liberal display of sam-
ples from granary, our market this morning was well attended,
and, at a decline of 2s per 701bs from the rates of this day
week, the general runs of foreign Wheat were taken of by
town and country millers more freely than of late, and
with several purchases for Ireland, a fair extent of
business was transacted in these descriptions ; but not much
in English and very little in Irish, the inferior qualities of
the latter being nearly unsaleable. In foreign Wheat under
bond to arrive, no further sales have transpired.
English, Irish, and duty paid foreign Flour remained in
the same state as described in Friday's report.
Barley, Malt, Beans and Pease continued to be scarcely
noticed, and each may be considered is per qr cheaper.
Oats, upon a very dull sale, were rather depressed in va-
lue, and. Oatmeal, being much neglected, was offered with
very little effect, at an abatement of 6d per 2401b5.
