reported 1I) were shockingly burned and injured.
FATAL ACCIDENT AT A BONFIRE.—On Friday week,
some boys made a bonfire at Bedminster, near Bath, and

in all future cases of the kind, to inflict the full penalty
of £5.
Mr. Grantley Berkeley seems fated never to get out of
hot water. In his present trouble he is threatened with
legal proceedings, in the shape of a criminal information,
at the instance of Mr. Fonblanque, of the Examiner,
whom Grantley is charged with libelling in his speech
lately delivered at Wickwar.
Meetings have been held of the creditors of all the prin-
cipal firms which have suspended during the present pres-
sure. It appears that out of 20 firms there is an aggre-
gate of liabilities of £4,598,284, which would give an
average of £229,414 for each firm. The average dividend
furnished by the above estimates may be stated to bo
about 13s. 6d. in the pound.
ADVANCE OF POPERY.—It seems that the Romanists
are about to have a great " demonstration" in London at
the height of the season," on the opening of St. George's
Cathedral." Two Cardinals are to assist at the ceremonies,
and tickets of admission, like Jenny Lind's, are selling at
a premium of Jive guineas. About the same period, and
to give still further Eclat, a great secession is (so runs the
report) to take place from the church of Nngland.

A Vegetarian Society has been founded at Ramsgate,
by a gathering of vegetarians trout many parts of the
kingdom. Its object i 3 to promote the use of a farina-
ceous and fruit diet, in preference to the use of flesh. At

who stated that lie had abstained from eating animal food
for the last thirty-eight years, during which he had
enjoyed excellent health.

MONEY COMING.—On Monday the Giraffe steamer,
from Rotterdam, brought upwards of £lO,OOO in gold.
The flamburgh steamer, on Tuesday, brought £30,000
in gold. On Wednesday, the Wilberforce steamer, from
St. Petersburgh, brought from £90,000 to £300,000 in
gold. On Thursday about £170,000 in gold was received,
of which £70,000 was from Paris. There was also a
further arrival of £ll,OOO from Rotterdam. On Saturday,
the John Bull,arrived at Hamburgh with £3oo,oooin gold.
On Thursday two brothers, of the names of George and
Labatt Bowles, aged respectively 17 and 14 years, went to
-dredge in the river at Broom-hill, Essex, when, it is sup-
posed, they lost themselves in the fig, and had walked
about until they were gradually overwhelmed, as they
were found drowned next day. 'I heir cries were heard
from the shore for three hours, but the stupid people who
and them did not call out, or the deceased might have
known which way to turn and have been saved.

A GOOD EXAMPLE.—At the late municipal election at
Worcester, Mr. Pudmore, on being unanimously chosen
sheriff, stated that. 29 years ago he came to Worcester an
entree stranger, without more than a dozen pounds in his
pocket ; but his circumstances and prospects had since
altered, and by perseverance and indefatigable industry,
combined with the kindness, assiduity, and industry of
of hers, lie now stood amongst them as the sheriff of one
-of the neatest cities in the kingdom.
DEATH FROM SWALLOWING A PLUM-STONE.— Last
week, a young man of the name of Edward Itippon, work-
ing at the Middle Dock South Shields, was seized with
inflamation of the bowels, which resisted all medical
means, and caused his death in a few days. There being
some peculiar features about the case, a post mortem ex-
amination was held, when it was discovered that a plum-
stone had lodged in the small intestines, and produced
the disease. He had dined off a pudding made with plums
some two or three days before.
The joint committees of the master glove manufacturers,
the Chamber of Commerce, Town Council, and the Board
of Guardians, at Worcester. have resolved, with a view of
reviving the glove trade, to establish a school, with
salaried mistresses, for the instruction of girls in the
various branches of sewing. A room has been hired for
the accommodation of females who wish to receive in-
struction in the trade, and premiums' are to be awarded to
those who produce the best work. Four mistresses will
be appointed to superintend the establishment, which post
is open to competition by the most skilful workwomen.
THE METROPOLIS.—A court of Common Council was
held on Wednesday last week. A representation from
the Commissioners of Sewers was agreed to after some
discussion. Although the commissioners had made most
extensive sewers throughout the city, they complained
that it was impossible to get either landlords or tenants
to make drains from the houses. Five hundred miserable
dwellings had been cleansed. The New River Company
had been prevailed upon by the board to give a liberal
supply of water; but the landlords shirked the duty of
providing cisterns or water-buts.
- MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—On Monday in last week,
as George, the son of Mr. Alexander Bacon, of Edensor,
was descending from a corn stack belonging to Mr. Bur-
goine, of Dunbar House, Edensor, having first thrown
down the fork, which fell with the prongs upward, and
immediately gliding down the side of the st..ck after it.
11 fell upon the prongs, which entered his groin, and the
weight of his body forced them into his bowels. The fork
was withdrawn with great difficulty, and the poor lad re-
mained in a state of the greatest agony until Wednesday,
when death put an end to his suffering.—Derby Mercury.
IRISH IMMIGRATION.—In consequence of the alarm-
ing influx of Irish vagrants into this city, tae Board of
Guardians have authorised a rigid system of labour to be
enforced on all who are admitted for temporary shelter in
the Union Workhouse, the effect of which has already
been a very salutary check to this kind of Vagrancy, the
number of applicants being thereby reduced nearly one
half. The rule carried into operation is to compel the
vagrants received into the house for the night, to do four
hour's work, for the benefit they derive in food and
lodging.—Bath Chronicle.

TALE OF A SHIRT. —A " navvy" was apprehended at
Lincoln the other day on the charge of stealing from a
poor man a shirt, but the owner refused to prosecute. It
appeared that the two parties were in a public-house to-
gether the other day, when one offered to the other a shirt
which he had to sell. After the regular beating down of
price, the shirt was bought for one shilling, and the seller
left the room. Shortly afterwards the purchaser disco-
vered that he had purchased his own shirt, which the pre-
tended owner had cleverly abstracted from his bundle,
and had sold to him.

A QUEER SPEAKER TO REPORT.—At the Lord Mayor's
civic dinner in London. on Tuesday last, among other
toasts given, was that of " The health of the Duc de
Broglie, the French Ambassador, and other Foreign
Ministers," to which the Duc de Broglie took upon him-
self to reply, and we observe it is stated in a report of the
proceedings that on his Excellency resuming his seat, the
reporter had not been able to take any notes of his obser-
vations, in consequence of a violent discussion having been
kept up, as to whether he was speaking in French or
English : which we should understand to mean, that he
was neither speaking the one nor the other.
MURDER AND SUICIDE.—The following are the facts of
a horrid attempt at murder and suicide which was com-
mitted at Reading on Friday :—A man of the name of
Hercey, a smith, residing in East-street, in this town,
from jealousy, struck his wife on the head several times,
and dreadfully fractured her skull, so much so that there
are no hopes of her recovery. He then cut his own throat
and died. About two months ago he was taken before the
magistrates for ill-treating his wife, and was bound over
to keep the peace. For the last four days he had not been
to work, having been about home watching his wife, and
no doubt premeditating the dreadful deed.
"JUST LIKE MY MONSTER."—A curious circumstance
occurred at the Adelphi Theatre, London, on Fridayi
evening, during the performance of " The Green Bushes."
When Madame Celeste, who was performing in the cha-
racter of Miami, the Indian girl, shoots the English
husband by whom she has been deserted, a woman started
up in the pit and exclaimed in a loud voice, " Serve him
right !—it's just like my monster !" This explosion of
insulted womanhood, produced by the " cunning of the
scene" and Madame Celeste's powerful acting, was fol-
lowed by a shout of laughter from all parts of the house,
proving that art frequently possesses more influence over
our feelings than nature herself.
SUSPECTED POISONING NEAR TIVERTON.—Ann Fisher
has been committed for trial at the next assizes, on sus-
picion of having poisoned her husband, Richard Fisher, a
farm labourer residing at the village of Morchard ; and
Mary Hodge, her sister-in-law, and Thomas Leach, have
also been committed on suspicion of having been con-
cerned in his death. It was ascertained beyond all doubt
that he died from the effects of arsenic. He was-71 years
of age, and his wife 32, and at the time of his death they
had not been married three months. He had, it ap-
peared, only two or three days previous to his death, re-
proved her for some liberties which she allowed to the
prisoner Leach. She had purchased, it was proved, half-
an-ounce of arsenic " to poison rats," in the beginning
of August.
CONJUGAL DIFFERENCE.—A painful case of this kind
in high life has for some time attracted public attention at
Moreton Court, in this county, and it was intended to
have brought the matter under cognizance of the magis-
trates on Saturday. It was 11. curious sight to see the
it articles of the peace.

IRRIGATION OF LAND.—From the overflowing of the
river Thames, 100 acres of the Drayton meadows are on
a dead level, and, therefore, are annually overflowed
similar to the land on the banks of the Nile, which was
noticed by a correspondent a few weeks ago. The above
named meadows have been drained four feet deep, and
the overflowing is not prevented, as it is found to be a
great benefit; for the moment the water falls, the super-
fluous
moisture passes off with great rapidity, and all the
matter suspended in the overflow is left in the ground,
which acts as the best of manures. The water that
descends into the drains becomes so pure and transparent
that it is perfectly fit for drinking : and the passing of the
water this depth is also the means of obtaining a higher
temperature of the surface soil, which is a benefit of the
greatest importance. __ _ _ _

INCENDIARISM.-Alfred Marsh, the young man who
has been in custody since Saturday week, on a chaage of
wilfully and maliciously setting fire to the dwelling-house
of Mr. Bailey, a commercial traveller, residing in Swan-
place, Swan-street, Old Kent-road, was again placed at
the bar of the Lambeth Police-court, on Wednesday.
The prisoner, who is respectably connected, was in cus-
tody in June last, on a charge of firing a loaded pistol at
Miss Louisa Ralph, the step-daughter of Mr. Bailey, a
young woman to whom he was violently attached, and to
whom he was a short time before about to get privately
married. The parents of Miss Ralph having discovered
the object of the young couple at once frustrated it, and
this led to a bad feeling between the prisoner and Mr.
and Mrs. Bailey, and, on Tuesday fortnight, during their
absence from home, their house wat set on fire. The pri-
soner was seen in the neighbourhood. After some corro-
borative evidence had been given, the prisoner was again
remanded.

MURDER IN CARDlFF.—Consideralale excitement has
been occasioned in Cardiff during the week by the perpe-
tration of a bru,al outrage, which has resulted in the
death of an nnoffending individual. It appears that a
young man of the name of William Morrison, accom-
panied by his wife and family, came to the above town a
short time ago ; being reduced in circumstances, the par-
ties took up their quarters in Whitmore-lane, a locality
not of the best repute. Here Morrison employed himself
by manufacturing various articles of small value, which
his wife disposed of in the Cardiff market. On Saturda;
he had been so engaged until night, when he sat down
with his wife to tea. During the meal a "row" was heard
in the street, and Mrs. Morgan, the wife of the man that
kept the house, opened the door to see what was the mat-
ter. She had no sooner done so than three women rushed
upon her, pulled her to the ground and otherwise ill-used
her. Morrison went to the rescue of his landlady, and
was in the act of stooping to raise her from the floor, when
two men named Alexander Thomas and John Griffith,
better known as " Alec the Devil" and " Swansea Jack,"
set upon him, and he received a violent kick in the abdo-
men, from which he almost immediately died. The men
were taken into custody, and have been comramitted on a
charge of " Wilful Nuttier."

DEODORIZING EXPERIMENTS.—Mr. Ellerman, in a
letter to the Times, guards against any misapprehension
as to the extent of the relief afforded by his process. "It
is intended to render faecal and other matter inodorous,
not only for immediate removal, but to provide a •continu-
ous relief in every house or place now exposed to the in-
jurious effluvia caused by accumulations of filth, which
are calculated to predispose the human conztitution to
fall a sacrifice to the dreadful scourge which threatens to
invade our shores. My deodorizing fluid may be, as you
state, usefully employed as an adjunct for sanitary mea-
sures," but I never presumed to say that •it could be
safely substituted for them,' nor do I offer it to the pub-
lic as a universal panacea, as others have done, but simply
to deodorize night-soil, &c., promptly and cautiously, at
a cheap rate, and at the same to confer a great boon on
the agriculturists of this country."

A Rico' BILL OF FARE.=4-t.ibe Lord Mayor of Lon-
don's dinner on Tuesday, the following was the general

fruits and preserves, 50 dishes of preserved ginger, GO
dishes of rout cakes and chips, and 46 dishes of brandy
cherries.
DEATH OF MENALSSOHN.—intelligence of the pre-
mature anti unlooked-for death of Dr. Felix Mendel,sohn
Bartholdy has been received. He expired at Leipsic,
on Tuesday, after a short illness, which brought on
paralysis of the brain. The triumphant reception which
he had met with in London last spring, and the mag-
nificent productions which were then heard under the
directing influence of his genius, will never be forgotten
by those who witnessed them. Never had the great
tnuAician of our time appeared to be more full of life,
energy and creative power. But upon his return to
Germany in the beginning of May, these brilliant recol-
lections were damped by the death of a tlivourite sister,
who had just fallen a victim to the same form of cerebral
disease. Dr. Mendelssohn retired to lnterlachem in
Switzerland, for the summer months, where, although he
had shaken off the fatigues of the London season, this
family affliction seemed to have given him some fore-
b .ding of his own impending fate. He returned to his
duties at Leipsic, but very few weeks elapsed before his
imperishable labours were terminated for ever. He had
not yet completed his 39th year, having been born on the
3d of February, 1809. His sacred oratorios of " St.
Paul" and " Elijah" have stamped him as a master.
EPIDEMIC DISEASES.—A city breathing an atmosphere
perfectly pure may not be exempt from every epidemic;
but observation has shown that such irruptions are infre-
quent, and fatal to few persons of strength or stamina.
Internal sanatory arrangements, and riot quarantine or
sanatory lines, are the safeguards of nations. A salubrious
city in an epidemic—like a city built of stone in a con-
flagration—is exposed to danger and injury, but not to the
same extent as the present cities of Europe, which are left
without any adequate regulations for the health 'and se-
curity of their inhabitants. The great historical epidemics
have diminished in iotensity ; and there appears to be no
reason why they should not be ultimately suppressed, with
the advances of the population among which they take
their rise. Their origin is obscure, but influenza appears
generally to become first epidemic in Russia—cholera in
India. It is in India that the source of the latter disease
must be attacked. If the health of India becomes sound,
Europe might be safe, and hear no more of the epidemic
which is now traversing Russia. Ihe attention of the
Indian authorities has for some time been directed to the
subject. The other nations of Europe are beginning to
take an interest in public sanatory improvements; aa d any
plans found to succeed in England will, no doubt, be car-
ried out as speedily as possible in all parts of her Majesty's
dominions ; for the vast population that owns her sway is
intimately united. Asiatic cholera has taught us that the
Eves of thousands in England may depend on the condi-
tion of the Pariahs of Jessore.—Report of the Regiatrar-
General.

ROMISFI CHAPELS IN ENGLAND.—A correspondent of
the Protestant Magazine has addressed the following
letter on this subject to that. journal :—" It has often been
matter of surprise from whence the money could be de-
rived to build the number of Romish chapels and monas-
teries now established in England, which in 1846 bad in-
creased to 622 chapels and eight monasteries, with 818
priests ; whereas, in 1792, it is stated that.there were only
32 chapels. The mystery is now explained. It appears
from works published under Romish authority, that
whereas about twenty years ago, there was subscribed to
the Catholic Association at Lyons, only £900; in the year
1844, there was subscribed about £161,000. Of this sum.
in the year 1823, there was not a farthing expended in
England ; in 1825, there were £6O expended ; in 1833,
about £9BO ; but in 1844, this sum had increased to
£40,865 ! This money was expended in building chapels,
monasteries, &c., and otherwise promoting the spread of
the Romish religion. Thus we see that the Church of
Rome is now employing her wealth to corrupt the minds
of our people, and to bring this country again under her
-galling and ntichristian yoke." This is well enough in
the present case. Papists are praying for the conversion
of England, and we will do them 63 justice to say that
they live their prayers. Such devout liberality is some-
what alarming, however, to the friends of truth. And as
wise men will take counsel even from an enemy, on certain
occasions, we would urge that the zeal of Papists in per-
verting should stimulate Protestants to new zeal in defence
of their Scriptural Protestantism, and for the protection
of those exposed to Popish craft and sophistry.
CORN, &c.—Some returns ordered in March by the
House of Commons, relating to the import, export, and
consumption of corn, grain, meal, and flour, in the year
ending the sth of January 1847, have been printed. From
the sth of January, 1846, to the passing of the act 9th and
10th Victoria, chap. 22, the total quantity of wheat (foreign
and colonial) admitted to home consumption in the united
kingdom was 23,843 quarters and 5 bushels, and the duty
paid, £8,338 16s. sd. Under the act mentioned, the quati-
titity had been, to the sth of January last, 1,975,104 quar-
ters and 5 bushels; and the duty paid, £395,102 3s. ld.,
making the total quantity in the year admitted to home
consumption 1,995,948 quarters and 2 bushels, and the
whole duty £403,440 19s. 6d. The annual average price
of wheat was 545. Bd. a quarter. Of wheat and wheat
flour, imported in the year into Great Britain, the quantity
was 2,670,064 quarters ; from Ireland, 393,462 quarters ;
and from other parts, 2,276,602 quarters. The quantity
exported was 333,516 quarters ; 192,471 to Ireland, and
141,045 to other parts. The quantities of corn, meal, and
flour of Irish growth imported into Great Britain from
Ireland in the year ended the sth of January last were
1,826,132 quarters. It appears that in the week ending
the 3rd of January, 1846, the average price of wheat was
555. ld, per quarter. The duty was at the average of 575.
6d. The rate of duty was 15s. a quarter on foreign, and
2s. a quarter on British colonial ; and in the week ending

THE. APPOINTMENT OF ROMISH BISHOPS IN EN-
GLAND.—Commenting on the above subject, the Britan-
nia says :—" And my lords the Protestant bishops—what
are they doing ? Of course, their duty. Of course they
are about to assemble at Lambeth, draw up a solemn
appeal to the throne, reminding it of the once-honoured
1688 ; another appeal to the 15,000 clergy of England, to
the 2000 of Ireland, and to every man who believes in a
God, and does not believe him to be represented by a
wafer, or a stock or a stone, to join them heart and hand
in averting calamity from their country. Of course their
lordships intend a public appeal to their brother peers to
rally round the constitution, and to act in conformity with
those oaths which have pronounced the Church of Rome
to be " superstitious and idolatrous.' They must have
demanded of the Cabinet that Parliament shall be sum-
moned without delay, to examine into the right of the
foreigner, and, of all foreigners, the Bishop of Rome, to
confer dignities by British titles on his adherents within
the territory of our sovereign lady the Queen:' and,
finally, have appealed to the throne, stating the principles
on which a German elector was called to the head of the
leading empire of the world. We must hope that their
right reverend lordships have done all this, and have not
been content with reading the Roman rescript, and dis-
missing the subject. We, however fairly acknowledge
that we have not yet heard a syllable on the subject; but
this silence by no means diminishes our anxiety to
know whether the three archbishops and thirty-seven
bishops of the-United kingdom of England and Ireland
have done anything, or intend to do anything at all."
ATROCIOUS OUTRAGE ON " PRINCE ALBERT."—At
the Thames Police-office, on Thursday, John Costello
was charged with destroying a wax image, value 10s.,
the property of Henrique Meyer. The prosecutor stated
that he keeps an exhibition of wax figures in St.
George's-street, Ratcliffe-highway, amongst which were
two beautifully executed " images" of the Queen
and Prince Albert. On the previous evening, amongst
the visitors was the prisoner, who appeared to be very
dissatisfied with his Royal Highness Prince Albert,
and, after pulling his Royal Highness's nose, with sun-
dry other freaks before he could be prevented, he broke
his Royal Highness all to pieces. The prisoner, in de-
fence, said he considered himself the aggrieved party.
That feller, said he, pointing to the prosecutor, kept
calling out, " Walk up, ladies and gentlemen, here's the
Queen and Prince Albert all alive." (Laughter.) Well,
your worship, up I goes, and he points out the Prince.
Thinks I, you are a mighty stiff old chap, and I axes
him how all the little ins were. (Loud laughter.)—
Well, if he was alive he didn't make no answer what-
somever, which I thought very ongenteel—(renewed
laughter)—especially after I had forked out the tin,
expecting to have a word or two with the Queen. So I
says, Ibe mighty glad to see you—tip us your fist. I might
just as well have talked to a post. He stared with his
great big eyes, and they looked a kind of glossy like, as if
he was drunk—(roars of laughter)—but deuce a word
would he speak, so I thought may be a blow will make
you say something, and I gives him a tolerable rap in the
face, when off rolled his head, and I sees it was all an im-
position, and smashed it up into little bits. Mr. Yardley:
You don't mean to say you expected to see the Queen
and Prince Albert alive ?—Prisoner (with an air of comic
Halbert,
: I did then, and when I fust spoke to Prince
Halbert, I puts my hand on him as tender as if he was an
infant (loud laughter). Mr. Yardley : Well, you treated
his Royal Highness very unceremoniously;, you must pay
10s. damage. The prisoner was ultimately fined 55.. for
being drunk,

THE SHARPERS AT BOW-STREET.-At Bow-street Po-
liee-uniee on ruut.sna., ~ i, r , and
three of the ,sharpers who fleeced Mr. Kerit, the West
Indian, of £1,450, were braught up for re-examination.
William Dobson Lewis, " gambler. by profession," de-
tailed how Mr. Kerrie had been robbed. When Barr had
lured him from Cremorne-gardens to a cigar shop in Lit-
tle Russell-street, and the other rogues had introduced
themselves; the prosecutor was induced to play at cards,
Barr to be his partner. The cards had' been so arranged
that Mr. Kerie was made to feel confidant he should win
the game; some of the men offered to bet against him;
he hesitated, because he thought it was not proper to
take them at a disadvantage ; but at last he wagered six
to one, Barr also betting with him ; the sharpers won the
game, and thirty pounds from their victim. Barr was
Quite disconsolate, for, throutat Mr. Kerie's over confi-
dence, he had betted on the cards. The gentleman con-
soled him, had further meetings, at which he elways lost,
the untlirtunate Barr participating in his ill-luck. Barr
thus completely gained the other's confidence and soon
knew all about his affairs. The pillaging of the " flat"
went on swimmingly till the rule of " honour amongst
thieves " was infringed, and then. Lewis informed against
his associates.- The prisoners were remanded again for a
week.

NOVEL DIVERSION.—The Duke of Devonshire and a
distinguished party were recently on a short visit to Tern-
plenewsam, the seat of Meyuell Ipgram, Esq. Among
the entertainments of the occasion was what we shall take
upon ourselves to term " egg and ladle rase!' It is thus :
—A number of wooden lacks are procured for behoof of
the ingenious and distinguished nobleman. These have
each an egg deposited in the blwl. Every fair ca nia?titor
then takes a ladle, and being ranged side by side, with
arm and ladle outstretched, waiting for the sigual. The
distance is measured, say 100 yards, and the condition is
that the winner must arrive first at the goal without drop_
ping her egg. . On the interesting occasion referred to, a
very-spirited contest took place. The exact number of
fair runners the report does not name ; hut when the sig-
nal was given, off started the high-bred and lovely (lames,
pu thing each her ladle and egg as far before her neigh-
bour as possible. Miss I --tn took the lead and kept it
nobly till within a few yards of the winning post, when
she dropped her egg, and suffered Miss W--t to win
the prize. The remainder were not placed by the judge,
although it is said some placed theniselves, and were at
Ica,t their length behind. At the conclusion, the prize
was formally presented, in the shape of a very valuable
diamond ring, which the happy victor suspended from her
neck by a massive sold chain. The ladle was, of course,
suspended in—the Ithcht.r.—Leeds Mercury.
REVERSE OF FORTUNE.—utt Tuesday, a middle-aged
man, of highly-respectable appearance, named John Ber-
wick Whit by, and who was fo •merly one of the largest
woollen manufacturers in Bradford, Yorkshire, was
charged at the Thames police-office, with stealing 211 b.
of wool. the property of the Sr. Katherine Dock Company.
It appeared that the prisoner had been reduced from a state
of comparative opulence to c ne of the greatest and most ne-
cessitous indigence. He had become bankrupt, his mills
and other buildings were sold off, and he came to London
with the wreck of his fortune, to commence afresh; but
ill-fartune Still pursued him, and he lost about £1,600 by
a recent woollen transaction, which completely ruined
him. Under these circumstances, being well known in
the woollen trade, he picked up a scanty livelihood by oc-
casionally purchasing wool for different individuah, and
in this capacity was constantly in and out of the wool.
warehouse of the St. Katherine Docks. Mr. Broadway.
the deputy storekeeper of. the warehouse, observed the
prisoner put some small quantities of wool in his pocket.
The prisoner having Leen taken and searched. 201 b. of
wool was taken from him. John Mumford, the superin-
tendent of the St. Katherine's Dock police, said he had
reason to believe it was extreme destitution that had led
the prisoner to act as he had done. A n imber of highly
respectable gentlemen attended, and spoke of the pri-
soner s pi evious character in the highest terms. They
considered him the victim of misfortune. Mr. Yardley
committed the prisoner to take his trial for the felony.
BORNEO CHURCH MISSIONARY INSTITUTIOv. 011
Tuesday a general meeting of the menda rs and fr tnds
of this society, established under the sanction of the
Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of London, for
the purpose of founding a clerical institution, church, and
mission school-house in Borneo, was held at their cham-
bers, Waterloo-place. Letters were read from the Arch-
bishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of London, cm firm-
ing the appointment of the Rev. S. F. Montgomery, M.A.,
and other clergymen as missionaries to Borneo. It was
stated that a meeting of the committee had been held a
few days previously, at which Mr Brooke had attended.
Mr. Brooke, it appeared, lied described at considerable
length the present state of Sarawak, the preparations he
had made for leaving Borneo for the reception of the
missionaries, and Ids views as to their future career. From
this account it appeared that the fixed Malay population
of the town of Sarawak amounted to nearly 10,000, be-
sides the Dyaks. wlio inhabit the neighbourhood, and a
consilerable number of Chinese. Everything seemed
most favourable; but Mr. Brooke insisted much upon the
necessity of quiet and cautious conduct on the part of
missionaries, so as to coaciliate the sympathies of the
natives without offending their prcjudicies. With due
precaution he considered the extension of Christianity
amongst the Dyaks would eventually be rapid,
and that
a foundation might be laid at Sarawak for the future con-
version of the natives throughout the whole Indian
Archipelago. Tile Earl of Ellesmere was elected presi-
dent of the committee.
MELANCHOLY CASUALTY AT SEA.—We have to re-
cord a very painful calamity, involving the loss of a vessel
and the greater portion.of her crew, which happened in
the Bristol Channel a few nights since. We are informed
that the crew of the Fanny of Chepstow, Wheeler master,
bound from Milford to Gloucester, while off Crow Point,
near the former place, on Tuesday, observed a great
quantity of cork floating about over a large extent of dis-
tance, and on steering in the direction of it, a bundle waS
discovered on which a man was lashed. The poor fellow
was immediately picked up, and gruel and spirits were
romptly administered to recover him. The humanity of
Captain Wheeler having been successful, the poor fellow
related a most pitiable story. He was, he stated, mate of
the brigantine Dedden, of London, bound from Faro to
Liverpool, laden with a cargo of cork ; and the vessel
during the heavy gale which prevailed. at the end of last
week had become full of water. The crew were at the
pumps for several days, during which the vessel forged
towards the land, till on Monday night last, when the
hull, no longer able to withstand the shocks of the cargo
which had got loose in the hold, began to break up. The
crew, in this extremity, lashed themselves to bundles of
cork, and then committed themselves to the winds and
waves. The captain had his wife on board with him, and
probably preferring to meet death from which she had no
escape, with her, remained on board the sinking ship,
which eventually foundered in the middle of the night,
about ten miles west of St. Ann's Light. The mate added
that for several hours the crew, who were five in number,
floated so close together as to be able to converse and cheer
each other up against the worst. A sharp look-out was,
therefore, kept from the deck of the Fanny, and in about
half an hour after the mate had been rescued Capt. Wheeler
h descryingr,
in saving him. This poor fellow was also very much ex-
hausted, and singularly enough- was bleeding from two
an d
bearing another
do w man. floating
succeeded
half
wounds in the feet, resembling the bite of the sucking
fish ; but he is unconscious of the manner in which they
were caused, as he says benumbed with cold, and worn
out by toil, anxiety, and exposure, he fell into that stu-
pour which precedes death. Captain Wheeler, with com-
mendable humanity, remained on the ground all day,
tacking about amongst the floating cork, in the hope of
saving the remainder of the crew ; but he saw nothing of
them. From inquiries which have been since made, how-
ever, it is almost certain that the poor fellows have per-
ished. Their two shipmates who have been thus wonder-
fully snatched from sharing their watery grave, were al.
most naked. One of the men belongs to Portsmouth,
the other to Liverpool, and the captain and his wife to
North Yarmouth.—Gloucester Chronicle.

DARING ATTACK ON DR. BOWRING, M.P., AND HIS
BROTHER.-Thq two highwaymen who attacked Dr.
Bowring and his brother, on Thursday week, in Glamor-
ganshire, and plundered them of £lOOO in gold, notes,
and silver, have been apprehended. They are both Irish,
and their names are Richard Mahoney and John Lloyd,
desperate-looking fellows, who had been employed at the
Llinvi iron-works, of which Mr. C. Bowring is the res'-
dent director. Immediately on the daring attack being
made known in the neighbourhood, all grades turned out
to scour the mountains for the ruffians. Of the large
amount stolen nearly all has been recovered; £662 15s Iod.
was found on the prisoners, and notes to the extent of
£l7O were subsequently discovered in the Cwne Nanty
wyn Wood. Mr. C. Bowring was in the habit of draw-
ing money of the bank every Thursday for the workmen's
wages, and it appears that the prisoners made the most
deliberate preparations for the robbery, as they had pur-
chased the pistols on the previous Monday, at the shop of
Mr. Moses, in Swansea. They were brought before Vis-
count Adair, and a full bench of magistrates, for examina-
tion, at Bridgend, on the 2nd instant. The Messrs.
Bowring were the principal witnesses, and fully identified
them. Mr. C. Bowring said he had procured the money
at Bridgend Bank for wages. He placed it in a bag in
the boot of the gig, in which also rode his brother Dr. B.
When they got about half way to Bowrington, they saw

side of the gig, and when they got about a yard or two
from our persons, they each presented a holster pistol at
us. The prisoners are the two men, lam certain.
Lloyd said, " your money or your life." Mahony repeated
the words. Lloyd then held the pistol to my breast; it
was cocked, and his finger was on the trigger. He after-
wards said, "Mr. Bowring, I want your money, not your
life." I replied, " I can't resist, I'll give you the money."
and I stooped down to reach the bag. Both pistols were
presented the whole time. I opened the boot, and the
strap of the bag hung out, and Lloyd pulled the bag out.
I ought to mention that when I stooped Lloyd said,
" Give me the two bags." I used to carry the money in
two bags, but on the present occasion I had it, in one.
After Lloyd got the bag he went on for a couple of yards,
and then turned round and shot the horse in the gig in
the head. It dropped dead. The prisoners then made off
through a field on the west side towards Margam, carry-
ing the bag together. I immediately went to a farm
house near at hand and made known the robbery, and
borrowed a horse and galloped to Bridgend and gave in-
formation. A number of our workmen and neighbours
went across the mountains during the evening in pursuit
of the prisoners." They were both apprehended late the
same night, and were identified.—Dr. Bowring, M.P.,
corroborated this testimony, adding that the coolness of
the robbers was wonderful. Before they got the bag, he
pulled out his own purse to give to them, but they took
no notice of it. He expressed his sincere thanks to the
inhabitants of all grades for the assistance they rendered
in pursuing and apprehending the prisoners. The arrest
of each was proved, and the evidence being complete, the
magistrates committed both the prisoners for trial at thit.
