.A CULLODEN MEDAL.—A medal, commemorative of
the battle of Culloden, was found last week in a field on
the Longtown-road, near Brampton. It is of Copper,
about the-size of a crown piece, and in excellent preserva-
tion. The obverse presents an equestrian figure of
bluff Duke of Cumberland. Encircling the figure is-the
inscription " William, Duke of Cumberland, born as
Ap. 1721." On the reverse is the field of battle, extii•
biting.thepeor plaids " flying in utter discomfiture before
a body of advancing English of all.arms, cavalry, infan-
try, and artillery. In the foreground a cannon is dis-
charging itself spontaneously against the flying rebels,
and theenscription is " Rebellion justly rewarded. Cul-'
Loden, :16 Ap., 174 G."
A FREE-TRADER'S DESCRIPTION' OF THE MANU-
FACTURING _ThaFULATION.—" The .appearance of the .
" cheap trip" people suggested much.retlection ; and, the
talk generally was, that what that distinguished person,
Everybody, saysie true ; that health., it was universally
alleged, departed ,in the atmosphere of manufactures—
that the master spinners denied this; -but, that the fact
is undoubtedly so.; that the Whitsuntide visitors pro-
duced the truth in their own persons—ithat they were
with few, very few .exceptions, distorted in their limbs,
curtailed of their fair proportions, by the euills—and that
they were turned-outgo badly mi.de-up, that they looked
not like inhabitants.of England, and rt were part of her
population ; that a fine-looking man was ,hardly to be
seen among them—and that a handsome woman was as
great a novelty as red lair in Madrid ; that the absence
of physical perfection was not, arparently, compensated
by evidence of intellectual vigour or habitual theerful-
ness ; that dulness and care were manifested in almost
every face ; that in many of them age seemed to be con-
tending with youth for the mastery of their features—
and that this is admitted in all the manufacturing dis-
tricts; that, in the streets of Preston, Bolton. and
Blackburn, a countryman is recognised at once by his
towering over the operatives ' • and that the manufacturing
population is sustained only by the influx from the rural
population."—Liverpool Journal.
AN " HONORABLE" INSOLVENT.—The Hon. Adol-
phus Frederick Capel, (brother to the Earl of Essex,)
applied to the London Insolvent Court, on Saturday,
under the Protection Act, and was opposed on the part of
forty-four creditors. Mr. Dowse and Mr. Sargood repro-
Rented thirty-eight, Mr. Bagley appeared for two,. and
four attended in person. The schedule filed by the insol-
vent was of considerable dimensions. The debts in the
aggregate were X 32,199, of which no consideration was
received for £6,632, which were railway liabilities, and
£420 were more than once entered, leaving the bona fide
debts from 1841, £25,146. There were no debtors, and
only about £4O to be given up for the creditors, number-
ing in the schedule £22. The insolvency was attributed
to the great loss sustained on the sale of furniture at
Thoyden House, Epping; to railway liabilities; and to
the failure of the accustomed receipts from frientis. He
had been in the receipt of £3OO a year from his brother;
and his wife's father . made him a gratuitous allowance of
X6OO. His income over the period of the schedule had
been £9OO a year. On the case being opened an applica-
tion was mode on the part of the insolvent that it might
be callmened, and one of the reasons weed was that as
nearly fifty creditors opposed, and no previous notice had
been given. time should be allowed. The insolvent un.
derwent a long examination. It appeared from his evi-
dence that his debtg amounted to the scam already stated;
to meet which h? bad £4O, arising frein the valtntion
of some proiz.rty.
