Rolls, has conformed to the Roman Catholic Church.
The hideous story about the body of a child sent in a
pie to a baker's, in Nassau-street. London, turns out to
be an entire fabrication.

On Saturday not a single potato was exposed for sale in
Appleby market. Not a field in the district has escaped
the contagion.
THE LARGE SWIMMING-BATH, for working men, was
opened at Bolton on Saturday week. The charge for
bath, dressing-room, &c., is three-halfpence.
POTATO SUBSTITUTE.—A Swiss journal states that the
bulb of the dahlia, when dressed like potatoes, affords an
excellent article of food.

A verdict of '• manslaughter for gross and criminal
negligence," has been returned at the coroner's inquest,

number of 15,000 bricks. About 16,000 is considered a
fair week's work for an active young man.

by some parties connected with the office, but the affair
is yet involved in mystery.
A FINE OF THREE THOUSAND POUNDS.--At a spe-
cial Court of Commissioners of Sewers for the liberty of
Westminster, held on Friday, a builder was sentenced to
pay the large fine of £3,000, for setting the orders of the
commissioners at defiance.
Captain Richardson, for the forgery of a £5OOO cheque,
underwent a further examination on Tuesday at the
Mansion House. Corroborative evidence was produced,
such as that he was the last person in whose hands the
original check for £lO was seen. The clerks at the Bank
of England speak positively as to his identity, and cash
to the amount of nearly £4OOO has been found in his house.
He was remanded till Wednesday (to-morrow).

A CONTRAST.—LateIy a child, five years of age, as-
sisted in the delivery of letters at Stockwith. A few
weeks ago this child was unfortunately drowned, but has
been succeeded in his office by his grandmother, upwards
of 80 years of age.
Lord Hardinge is not likely to return very soon from
India. In a letter just received from his lordship he says
" You are all so generous in your distinctions and rewards
that I must not abandon any nost whilst my duty is wi-
per formed."
Miss Agnes Strickland, in a letter to the Times, pub-
licly accuses Lord Campbell of transferring to his " Lives
of the Chancellors" her biography "Eleanor of Provence,"

his own, whilst his lordship " transposes the language a
little here and there to disguise the fact."
The bodies of three of the children of Sarah Chesman,
who has been committed to prison on a charge of poi,on-
ing the infant of a stranger, have been exhumed, at Cla-

made at Guy's Hospital; arsenic was found in the sto-
machs of all three.
The Committee for promoting the 'establishment of

Earl of Eldon, £2OO, the Corporation of London, £2OO,
the Bank of England, £2OO, &c.
Two tablets, commemorative of the exertions of the
Times newspaper to expose a remarkable fraud on the
mercantile public, were formerly inaugurated last week,
by the Lord Mayor of London and a deputation from the
Common Council, one at the Royal Exchange, the other
at the Times office.

IMPORTATION OF TORTOISES.--9 ship calledlthe Caro-
line arrived in the St. Katherine's Docks from Carthagena
and Mogadore, brought from the latter place, among
other articles, the large number of 1560 tortoises. So
large an importation of this curious animal, alive, is most
unusual.

In London, on Wednesday, a pedestrian named Lang,
undertook, for a wager of £5, to pick up 100 eggs with
his mouth, within the hour, the eggs being a yard apart,
each to be taken up singly, and carried to a tub of water
placed at one end. He performed his undertaking in 54
minutes.

THE BERWICK BANK ROBBERY.—Mrs. Thompson,
the wife of the manager of the Branch North of England
Joint Stock Banking Company, at Berwick-upon-Tweed,
has been committed for trial, charged with the robbery of
the bank, at the next assizes for the county of Northum-
berland, which will be held at Newcastle in March next.
We have been given to understand that only four ships
have arrived from the Southern whale fishery this year,
bringing together less than 400 tons of oil. The estimated
loss to the owners of these four vessels will exceed
£20,000, and none of them have been refitted for tne
service.

Nawithstanding the shyness of partridges, and the
most obscure parts which they generally select for a nest
and hatching of young birds, yet it has this year become
a subject of common observation, that many partridge
nests have been made and young broods hatched on the
banks alongside railways.
PROFITS OF " PUNCR."—It was stated in the exa-
mination of a bankrupt of the name of Mayhew, who is
well known in the literary world, that the profits of _Punch
were estimated at £lO,OOO a-year. Thtt bankrupt claimed
£l,OOO from the estate of the Iron Times. for one year's
salary in lieu of notice.
The British Association commences its annual meeting
this week at Southampton. The directors of the South-
Western have not only placed all their available rooms at
the service of the Association for its meetings, &c., but
they have very liberally subscribed £lOO towards the
Reception Fund, being nearly one half of what has been
subscribed for this purpose.

Mr. O'Connell has given notice of the following mo-
tion, to be submitted to the House of Commons early in
the next session of parliament :—" To move for a com-
mittee to inquire into the circumstances under which the
Union was carried ; its effect on the condition of the Irish
people; the causes and best preventives of agrarian dis-
turbances and murders."
All the county votes, in the neighbourhood of the
metropolis, obtained by the purchase of freehold property
through the agency of the Anti-Corn-Law League, are
objected to.—[Very proper too, since no authority, howe-
ver high, can justify the unconstitutional system which
purchases freeholds for the purpose of voting for a parti-
cular object, and that none other than aiding the efforts
of a confederacy against the government.]
PAWNBROKERS' SHOPS.—A new act for regulating
pawnbrokers' shops directs that after the 29th of this
month no pawnbroker shall take any pledge before eight
o'clock in the morning, or after seven in the evening, be-
tween September 29 and March 25 ; or before seven in
the morning or after eight in the evening for the remainder
of the year. The former exceptions for Saturday nights
and the eves of festivals are continued.
__

A RARE FAMILY.—There is now residing on Wool-
wich-common an aged couple, named Shepherd. The
man is 90 years old, and his wife 88. They cultivate an
acre of ground at the back of the Royal Military Aca-
demy, which was but lately taken from the common.
They both enjoy good health. Mr. Shepherd's mother
reached the age of 110 years, and was recently burnt to
death at Norwood. His father also reached the age of
105 years. The rest of the family attained very great ages.
MATRIMONY.--Mr. Austin, of Peel's Coffee-house,
London, has written to the Manchester Guardian respect-
inz a matrimonial advertisement in that paper, the adver-
tiser having directed that communications from young
ladies who may desire to be united to him are to be directed
there. Mr. Austin declares, that if any letters are
addressed to the advertiser, at his house, they will be
opened, and, if possible, forwarded to the friends of the
writers.

A NOVEL BIRD TRAP.—On Sunday week, a family in
St. Clernent's•lane, Dundee, placed a cage of canaries
outside the window, to afford the birds the enjoyment of
sun and wind. Shortly after, an unusual noise was heard
at the window. On examination it was discovered that a
hawk had made a descent upon the cage, and had en-
tangled his foot botween the bars, thereby rendering it
impossible for him to depart when he found that his visit
was to be unsuccessful. The marauder was immediately
secured and placed in confinement.—Dundee Advertiser.
HORRIBLE AFFAIR.—On Saturday morning week,
between two and three o'clock, Mr. Richardson, lime-
burner, at Chatham, was disturbed by the barking of his
eog, and, on looking out of his bed-room window, he saw
a female approach one of the ovens and drop something
in. He retired, under the impression that it was only a
tramp in the neighbourhood, but in the morning was hor-
rified to find some burnt human bones, and, from subse-
quent medical examination, that it was a child, either alive
or dead, which was thrown in.
LONDON BATHS AND WASHHOUSES.—The committee
of these excellent institutions in the metropolis have an-
nounced that since the opening, on the 3rd of August, to
the week ending 29th, 12,815 men and women have bathed;
also that 746 women have washed 18,7 S 3 articles of wear-
ing apparel in this establishment ; and they hope the
benevolent public will continue to support their useful ef-
forts by remitting contributions as early as possible, be-
ing compelled to refuse admission to between two and
three hundred persons daily, from want of funds to com-
plete the accommodation originally designed.
ABSENTEEISM.—The city of Oxford was never so much
the victim of absenteeism as at present. Everybody is
gone to the Isle of Wight, and as our townsmen meet each
other there they fancy themselves in Oxford. It has been
proposed to take an accurate account of the residents in
Oxford, as the late census appears wholly inapplicable as
a guide to our present possible numbers. When that was
taken we were about 25,000: now it is doubted whether
2,500 remain. Oxford should be built upon the principle
of expansion and contraction, so great is the fluctuation
in the number of residents.—Oxford paper.
A CAPITAL NEWSPAPER PARAGRAPR.—Among the
anecdotes of the Queen's last trip one has transpired,
which accounts for a supply of small fishing gear having
been issued from the dock yard to both the royal yachts;
it is that the Prince of Wales, on Monday, while the
Queen and Prince Albert were on shore at Guernsey,
caught a great eel ; but, being unable to haul it on board,
had to shout for assistance from one of the crew, and, on
the circumstance being told to her Majesty and Prince
Albert on their return, orders were given for its being
dressed for dinner, which was accordingly done on Mon-
day. This is the first piscatory achievement of his royal
highness.
THE SMOKE NUISANCE.—Mr. Cubitt, the great
builder, in an examination before the House of Commons,
quoted by the Sanitary Report, this expresses himself :
" With respect to manufactories, here are a great number
driven by competition to work in the cheapest way they
can. A man puts up a steam engine, and sends out an
immense quantity of smoke ; perhaps he creates a great
deal of foul and bad gas ; that is all let loose. Where his
returns are £lOllO a month, if he would spend £5 a month
more, he would make that completely harmless ; but he
says, lam not bound to do that,' and therefore he works
as cheaply as he can, and the public suffer to an extent
beyond all calculation."
DREADFUL RENCONTRE.—On Sunday morning last,
between four and five o'clock, as the under-keeper named
Cook, in the employ of Mr. A. Fountaine, of Narford,
was crossing a turnip field, near the Scoots, he saw a dog
take a hare, and presently a man started up with a view
to seize it, but, seeing the keeper, he made cff. The lat-
ter pursued the dog, which travelled rather slowly from
the weight of the hare, and at length he secured him.
This brought the poacher up, who demanded to have his
animal released, but th,s the keeper refused. The result
was a scuffle, and at length they drew their knives, and
with these weapons they fought dreadfully for half an
hour. At length the weapon of Cook entered the side of
Mason (that being the poacher's name) and lie fell. The
keeper then wrenched fyom him the knife and threw them
both away, keeping his man, however, penned to the
ground, and calling lustily for assistance. Mr. Spanton,
sen., happened to be up, and hastened to the spot from
which the cries came. They all proceeded towards the
house of the latter, but they had not gone far when Mason
complained that he could walk no further, as his bowels
were protruding. They undid his clothes, and this was
found to be actually the case. Mr. Spanton then pro-
cured a horse and cart, and sent them both on to Swaff-
ham under a proper escort, both men being so dreadfully
wounded that it was not thought they could survive many
hours.l'ook's face was literally hacked to pieces, so
much had the poacher the 'vantage ground. of him in the
onset of the affray. The last informeiion we received
was, that both men are still alive, and that Mason has
been remanded.—Lynn Advertiser.
BAD LEGS AND WOUNDS OF ALL KINDS CURED BY
HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS.—If these valuable
medicines be used together, according to the directions
given with them, there is no case, however obstinate, bad,
or of long standing, but may be shortly cured by their
surprising efficacy. Thousands of persona who had been
patients of large hospitals, and under the care of the
greatest surgeons of the day, without the least benefit, as
a last resource use Holloway's Ointment and Pills, which
always cure them. and frequently in as little time as a cut
finger would require when treated in the usual way.

.SINGULAR WASPS' NEST.—Mr. Hall, a gentleman
residing at Latchford, having observed an unusual num-
ber of wasps about his domicile this season, was curious
to know the cause of attraction. He at length discovered
their place of resort was the lock of his desk which stood
in the parlour, the entrance to which they gained through
the key-hole. Singular to say, however, having mislaid
the key, he took off the lock, when, to his astonishment,
he found it full of kell, and containing six or seven full-
grown baits.
A poor Italian boy was brought up at the Thames
Police-court, on Tuesday, charged with stealing an upright
piano-forte, the property of a person residing near London,
who, it appeared, employed a number of lads to play music
through the streets. Ihe prisoner said that he took the
instrument home, not with the intention of stealing it,
but because he was afraid to go back to his master's house,
not having obtained the amount of money usually ex-
pected. The practice was, for the boys to go out at nine
o'clock in the morning, but as he had been severely
punished on the 13th ult., and kept without food, he got
up at five o'clock on the ensuing day to try and mend his
fortune. Though travelling about the town until a late
hour of the night, he was only able to procure twopence,
and being apprehensive of similar maltreatment, he was
afraid to go back. The magistrate dismissed the charge,
saying he was more an object of pity than punishment.
Some extensive shoplifting took place in Edinburgh
last week. No less than four shops were successively pil-
fered within a few hours. The plan pursued in each case
was the same. Two respectably-dressed females—one of
them with a child in her arms—entered the shop, and
having asked to see some light but expensive good's, such
as silks, they proceeded to examine them, and to dilate on
the quality and price, when in stepped one gentleman, and
then another; and as both of the latter requested differ-
ent articles, and wished to be served without delay, the
attention of the shopinen was taken from the females,
when they rcade the best use of their time in secreting the
goods about their persons, and thus evaded detection.
The two ladies were discovered by the police in another
shop. The gentlemen were loitering near, with a bundle
which was found to contain the whole proceeds of their
robberies.

ROBBERY OF £BOO AT THE NORWICH RAILWAY
TERMlNus.—Considerable interest was excited on Mon-
day by a robbery at the terminus of the Norfolk Railway.
It appears that immediately after the arrival of the first
down train it was discovered that the cash-box of the
company, kept in the office attached to the station, had
been emptied of its contents, amounting to upwards of
£BOO in gold and silver. The key was still remaining in
the lock. The necessary alarm was given to the principal
officials of the company, and information of the depreda-
tion was promptly forwarded to Mr. Yarrington, the chief
constable of the city, when a most active search was in-
stituted ; a large number of his force were !meted in all
parts with a view of tracing the plunderer, but up to a
late hour not the slightest clue could be obtained. A ge-
neral opinion seems to prevail that the robbery must have
been committed by some party connected with the office.
DANGEROUS FRACAS ON A LOCOMOTIVE ENGINE--
On Saturday week, when the 6.30 a.m. mixed train from
Bristol was between Steventon and Didcot stations, on
the ()treat Western Railway, a quarrel arose between
Temple, the engine-driver, and Poole, the stoker. A
fight ensued on the engine, and, if both had fallen off the
consequences must have been dreadful, as the train was
going at the rate of nearly thirty miles an hour, and there
was no possibility of the guards getting to the engine to
stop it, the high third-class carriage being between them;
nor were they aware of the fight until Temple, finding
himself worsted, stopped the engine to endeavour to
throw Poole off, when the guardsalighted, and succeeded in
obtaining a cessation of hostilities until their arrival at
Didcot, when they were repotted to the superintendent,
who gave them into custody of the guards of the fast train,
and conveyed them tai Paddington, where their conduct
will be investigated by the directors. Their places were
supplied by others at Didcot, and the train reached Pad-
dington in safety.
A FREE-TRADE PlE.—The inhabitants of Denby Dale
commemorated the accomplishment of Sir Robert Peel's
free-trade measure in a somewhat singular manner on
Monday last—not by the erection of a colossal statue,
but by the raising of a gigantic pie, which was placed on
a waggon, and drawn through the town, and thence to
Sissett, amidst the enthusiastic cheers of thousands of
spectators, and the enlivening notes of three bands of
music. On the return of the procession to Denby Dale,
the pie was cut in due form, and portions of it freely dis-
tributed to all who desired to partake of it ; particularly
among the working classes, for whom it was originally
designed. This immense pile of culinary architecture—
the device of woman's art and skill—measured 8 yards in
circumference, 7 feet 10 inches in diameter, and 10 inches
in depth. It was composed of two sacks of flour, which
is equal to 34 stone 41b ; 100 lb of suet, 201 b of butter,
161 b of lard, 4 sheep, 1 lamb, half a calf, 2 geese, 2 couple
of ducks, 5 couple of rabbits, 5 hares, 5 brace of par-
tridges, a pheasant, a dozen of pigeons, 5 fowls and sundry
smaller birds.— Wakefield Journal.
THE GROWTH OF POPERY.—The Morning Post—a
journal fully possessed by the Netrmania—devotes nearly
five dense columns of its last number to a laborious and
inflated report of the opening of a Popish chapel in Staf-
fordshire, when " the mass," quoth the admiring jour-
nalist, " was, for the first time, sung within its walls with
extraordinary pomp and solemnity." We have no idea of
following our cotemporary through the scenes of ostenta-
tious superstition which be describes, nor the sentiments
of stupid adoration with which he commends the idola-
trous rites observed on the occasion. Suffice it to ob-
serve, that whatever evil arises from the re-establishment
of the Popish worship, and the revival of those sympathies
which threaten to undermine the Protestant faith, are to
be ascribed—as with justice they have been, on this very
occasion, ascribed—to the Tractarian movement at Ox-
ford. Thus, Dr. Gillis, the Roman Catholic Bishop of
Edinburgh—on whom devolved the improvement of the
occasion, in the form of a sermon—not only insinuates the
obligation, but sends forth an ardent expectation, that the
time may come when Oxford, and through her all Eng-
land, shall be not merely in part, but altogether, restored
to the bosom of the church of Rome.
PROMOTIONS IN THE ARMY.—Sixty gentlemen have
been gazetted as cornets or ensigns in the army during
the preceding month, twenty-five only of whom have pur-
chased their commissions. The following non-commis-
sioned officers have been presented with commissions
during the month, and have also received the bounty of
£lOO to assist them in their outfit as commissioned offi-
cers :—Sergeant-major J. Croker to be quartermaster in
the 6th Foot ; Sergeant-major Thomas Knott to be ensign
in the 4th Foot ; Quartermaster-sergeant G. Pollard to be
quartermaster in the 6th Foot ; Sergeant-major P. Car-
roll to be quartermaster in the 97th Foot ; Colour-sergeant
R. Fortune to be quartermaster in the 23d Foot ; Sergeant-
major J. Harvey to be ensign in the Cape Mounted Rifles;
Sergeant-major J. Gough to be quartermaster in the Rifle,
Brigade; Sergeant-major 4. Taylor to be quartermaster
in the 71st Foot. Thirty-six ensigns have been promoted
to the rank of lieutenant, seventeen without purchase, and
nineteen by purchase. Twenty-two lieutenants have been
promoted to the rank of captain, eight without purchase,
and fourteen by purchase. Eight captains have been
promoted to the rank of major, three without purchase,
one by brevet, and four by purchase. Two majors have
been promoted to the rank of lieutenant-colonel, one
without purchase and one by brevet. Thirteen assistant-
surgeons have been promoted to the rank of surgeon, and
fourteen medical gentlemen have received commissions as
assistant-surgeons.
The Standard of Friday gives a curious correspondence
which took place in June, 1845, between Lord Ripon and
the Rev. Mr. Crowther, curate of Dnnston. His lord-
ship, in offering the rev. gentleman the use of a pony and
covered cart, puts him " on his guard as to any intercourse
with Mr. and Mrs. Newton. Such intercourse would be
sure to be the cause of considerable difficulty and embar-
rassment to Mr. and Mrs. Crowther." The rev. gentle-
man, in reply, thanks his lordship for his kind offer, but
makes no allusion to the other subject. Lord Ripon then
writes again, and observes that Mr. Crowther has not re-
ferred to the " caution." In reply, Mr. Crowther writes
as follows :—" My lord, I persuade myself that you will
perceive that I could not, as a minister of peace, have un-
reservedly adopted your lordship's unfavourable opinion
of Mr. and Mrs. Newton, until I had acquired some
knowledge of the circumstances which had influenced your
judgment. Any concurrence with your lortlship's censure,
proceeding from one-sidedness on my part, could neither
have gratified you nor have contributed to your favourable
estimation of my character. Previous to the receipt of
your lordship's monition, we had accepted those civilities
which Mr. and Mrs. Newton offered, and we have recom-
mended to them a governess. Sentiments of respect is
your lordship, and a sense of your obliging arrange:oe;
tor our personal accommodation, will always induce toe
defer to your lordship's judgments as far as may be con- •
sistent with my office of curate. The duties of this situa-
tion dictate to me great impartiality, and that I should
think no evil, but, as much as in me lieth, live peaceably
with all men. I n the humble hope of accomplishing this
course, it must be my care to avoid even the appear-
ance of partisanship in any unhappy differences of the pa-
rishioners."
THE BRIDE'S BROOCIL—An awkward discovery was
made last Sunday, at Barcombe church, by the parish
clerk Mr. James Funnell. The clergyman was performing
the marriage ceremony for a young couple named Fanny
Page and Thomas King, when the clerk contemplating
the bride's attire was struck with the appearance of a
brooch in her costume which irresistibly reminded him of
one worn on a similar occasion by his wife, who died
about a year ago. Still he gazed as the service proceeded,
and every moment became more assured that the brooch
was actually one which he had missed from his late wife's
wedding dress about the 13th of last January. The happy
pair were in a short time united, and had left the church
door, accompanied by a merry party of their friends, and
the morning service brought to a close, when Funnel',
whose suspicions by this time amounted to certaintyspoke to Weston, of the constabulary, on the subject of
recovering his lost property. That officer, reckless of dis-
turbing the soft dreams of the blushing bride, instantly
made the awkward inquiry, " Where did her brooch copse
from ?" Kieg at once avowed it was a love-token front
hem to his sweetheart during their days of courtship, but
was not equally communicative as to the party from whel)
he had himself received it. They then proceeded to the
residence of Mrs. Sopbia Skinner, King's sister, and ehe,,
admitted having given it to her brother, but alleged the.
she had bought it ten years ago at Brighton. Mr. Funnel',
however, persisted in his claim, and Weston accordingly
took Sophia Skinner into custody, to the utter constern
non of the wedding party. On the following day the pri-
soner was brought before Mr. J. W. Woolgar, at Len'e°l
when the prosecutor positively identified the brooch, bed
notch, and also stated that the prisoner had been emplOY
in his house from the 26th of December to the 30th 0
January, when she left, and that a few days afterwards!
on looking over the house, the brooch and several oth!r,.
articles were missed. The prisoner alleged that she bought
the brooch at Brighton ten years ago when she lived
