THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

Tn the Registrar-General's report last week there are no
less than twenty-one cases of cholera returned, while the
average number for the last five years is only five. Three
deaths are distinctly reported as occurring from Asiatic
cholera. One in St. Giles'-in-the-Fields, the patient ex-

. .
pired in thirty-eight hours after the attack ; another in
Bethnal-green, duration of illness-sixteen hours.
EXTRAORDINARY ACCIDENT.—On the 20th ult., when
a number of young men were amusing themselves, as is
their usual practice, by playing at cricket on Woburn
Green, Somerset, Joseph Barnett, about 16 years of age,
the youngest son of Mrs. Barnett, grocer, &c.. when in
the act of striking the ball, fell to the ground and broke
both bones of hi. 3 leg.
DEPLORABLE ACCIDENT.—On Thursday week Mr.
Parker, solicitor, of Worcester, went up the Severn to
enjoy with two other gentlemen an afternoon's diversion
in fishing and shooting. In returning they got into a
fisherman's boat, with two fishermen, and coming near to
the weir, and the water being very agitated, the boat up-
set, and Mr. Parker and Mr. Smith, innkeeper, were
unfortunately drowned. The other parties were with

great exertions saved.
DEATH FROM SEA SICKNESS.—Mrs. Frazer, with her
husband, left Devon port on Friday for Exeter in the steamer,
to fulfil an engagement at the theatre. At her embarka-
tion Mrs. Frazer enjoyed her usual health, but during the
voyage she became most seriously affected with sea sick-
ness. Paroxysm succeeded paroxysm of that violent and
distressing nausea, until, totally exhausted, this unfortu-
nate lady expired in the arms of her husband about one
o'clock the following morning.
DEATH OF MR. BAINES, OF LEEDS.—Mr. Baines ex-
pired late on Thursday, in the 74th year of his
age. He was the architect of his own fortune, having by
industry, thrift, and ability, wrought up his way in the
world from the position of a journeyman printer, until he
became one of the most prominent men in Leeds, and the
representative of that town in three successive Parlia-
ments. He was for many years, and up to his death,
proprietor of the Leeds Mercury. He has left a widow,
four sons, and five daughters.
FISHING-ROD QUALIFICATION. In the House of
Commons, on Monday, Mr. Goulburn called attention,
on the proposed reading of the Fisheries (Ireland) Bill, to
a highly amusing and ludicrous feature of the bill. The
qualification of those who shall elect conservators of the
fisheries is to be the owning of a fishing-rod ! Sir Wm.
Somerville thought it a very good and by no means a
ludicrous qualification, that those that use the practice of
capturing fishes should find the money and control the
regulations of their conservancy.
DEATH FROM FALLING OUT OF BED.—On Tuesday,
the Leeds borough coroner held an inquest on the body
of Elizabeth Whitaker, 45 years of age. wife of Joseph
Whitaker, cloth-dresser, of Armley. The deceased, on
Sunday week, retired to rest with her husband and child.
The bed in which they slept was situate just at the top of
the stairs, which were without bannisters ; and about two
o'clock the deceased fell out of bed and down the stairs,
thereby receiving an injury to the spine which caused her

death the same morning. -
DISTRESSING EVENT.—Margaret Scott, a young lady,
daughter of a clergyman at Inverness, has perished in the
River Ness. She was in the habit of making little col-
lections in botany and geology. One morning she went
to the river to collect plants and flowers ; in attempting
to wade across, apparently to obtain some flowers which
grew on the opposite bank, the current carried her away,
and she was drowned in a deep pool a few hundred yards
further down. When the body was recovered, a number
of wild rose leaves and specimens of grasses were found
in the bosom of the dress.
POTATOES.—AUTUMN PLANTING.—The Rev. G. Rms.
of Laverton. in a communication (dated July 24) to the
Gardeners' Chronicle, in reference to autumn planting
of potatoes, says that he has some " Early Prolifics,"
planted in the beginning of November, and that although
the haulm is nearly destroyed, the potatoes, with few ex-
ceptions, are perfectly good. " This," adds the rev.
gentleman, " is my third year of autumn planting, and
a third confirmation of the great advantage of it, both in
the quantity and quality of the produce. I have a consi-
derable quantity of seedling potatoes raised this spring
from seed imported from Chili in a most hopeless state. '
THE WESLEYANS AND THE CHURCHES.—At the Wes-

leyan Conference, last week, a short discussion arose as
to the term " Wesleyan Church," when Dr. Bunting said
that " though we all agreed as to our position as a Church
of Christ, yet he had felt that the too frequent use of the
words Wesleyan Church' grated upon his ear. He (Dr.
B.) thought that the more scriptural and proper phrase
would be The Wesleyan Churches'—the Wesleyan socie-
ties being without doubt churches in the scriptural sense
of the words." The Rev. D. Walton remarked that the
words " Lutheran Church" were universally used as de-
signating the Reformed churches of Germany, Sweden,
and Prussia.
JENNY LIND.—On Saturday last, the performance of
Mdlle. Lind, in I Puritani, closed the long and triumph-
ant subscription season, at her Majesty's Theatre, with
unparalleled eclat. The great vocalist will take four days'
rest, and then she will appear on Thursday and on Satur-
day in two of her most wonderful personations, Scnnam-
bula and La Figlia del Reggimento. These operas will
bring some of the most crowded houses of the season. Not
only numbers of spectators from every part of the country
will avail themselves of the opportunity. having timely
intelligence to arrange their visits to town ; but august
and illustrious personages have expressed their special de-
sire for these performances ; whilst the members of the
two houses of parliament, at present without engagement
of pleasure, will be sure to attend.
On Friday last, Joseph Todd, a gamekeeper to Captain
Youngson, of Bowscaran, Penrith Fell, quarrelled with
Miss Mary Dobson, the house-keeper, who left the house,
the family being absent, and took refuge at the farm of a
Mr. Jackson, which Todd hearing, he followed her,
and immediately seized her by the throat and threw her
upon the floor, and no doubt would have strangled her
had not Mrs. Jackauu and one of her daughters rescued
her from his grasp. The cries of Mary Dobson, Mrs.
Jackson, and her family, were so great, that Mr. Jackson,
who was in another part of the premises, came to his
dwelling and endeavoured to pacify Todd, when the latter
raised his gun to his shoulder and shot him through the
heart. The murderer was immediately secured and taken

into custody.
THE WESLEYANS AND GOVERNMENT EDUCATION.—
At the Wesleyan Conference now sitting in Hull, the Rev.
Dr. Bunting said,—" It would have been better for Me-
thodism and the public if the voluntary principle would
have enabled the Wesleyan society to have done without
Government aid ; and he was happy to be aware that
many schools would be maintained independently of such
assistance ; but (he added) we could not answer to God
or the public if we permitted 50,000 to 60,000 children,
whom our-unaided resources would not enable us to edu-
cate, to remain uninstructed from some high-flown senti-
ment of independence. Each separate school is left en-
tirely to the discretion of its trustees and directors, as to
the question whether it shall accept or decline Govern-
ment aid. The utmost latitude of opinion and action is
allowed throughout the Wesleyan body."
A correspondent of the Preston Pilot calls attention to
an interesting discovery, which has been made of caverns,
in a hill called Kempsbead, on the north-east sid of Ul.
verston Sands, on the demesne of the Earl of Burlington,
and which he had the honour of being the first visitor to
explore, They form objects, he says, of great natural cu-
riosity, and cannot fail to attract strangers. One of these
caverns, all of which are similar to those in Derbyshire so
well known to the enquiring tourist, is a chamber some
twenty-five feet in length and sixteen in height. The
second is described as a beautiful Gothic temple, fifty feet
long, the roof and walls of which seem composed of stalac-
tites and petrefactions of every shape and figure, " here
and there sparkling like diamonds, and glittering like
rubies, and every part most chaste and beautiful." The
entrance of these caverns is the forepart of the rock, about
twelve or fourteen feet high.
SEIZURE OF A VESSEL WITH GUNPOWDER.—In con-
sequence of information, the Custom-house authorities
seized, on Wednesday, the schooner Emerald Isle, of
London, at Plymouth, bound to Dublin, with 300 barrels
of gunpowder on board. She was laden with ordnance
stores, beds, fire-engine, corkwood, &c., all of which were
entered on the ship's manifest, but no mention was made
of the suspected gunpowder, which was, however, entered
crosswise in the cargo book, in ink different from that of
the main entries. The captain states that the gunpowder
was taken in the river, and that it is usual for vessels to
leave without the second clearance. The facts of the case
have been sent to the admiralty for their decision.—[The
respectable house of Messrs. Pigous and Wilks has written
to oily that the powder was for an equally respectable house
in Dublin, and was very much wanted for blasting pur-
poses, and that government must make compensation for
the detention of the vessel. Verily, people make. the most
of every trifle. This' vessel ought never to have been
seized.]
AFFECTION AND COURAGE OF A RAT.—A few days
ago, it having been discovered that a couple of rats had
taken up their abode in the malthouse belonging to Mr.
Fox, brewer, of Norton, near Stockton, a ferret was pro-
cured for the purpose of either banishing or destroying
the unwelcome intruders, who had a nest it was thought
in the ceiling, through which they issued by a large hole,
and by this means contrived to " eat the malt that lay in
the house that Jack built." Into this hole the ferret
having entered, a huge rat almost immediately afterwards
was seen to pop out and run along an adjoining spout,
hearing in its mouth one of its young, which it carefully
deposited in a pigeon's nest at the end of the spout. The
rat then returned to the hole, and, in spite of the ferret
inside, succeeded in bearing off one after another, in its
mouth, six more of its young ones, to the same place of
imaginary safety. When the animal had thus courage-
ously saved seven of its offspring from the merciless fangs
of the invading foe, it was at length shot when in the act
of going along the spout with the eighth young one in its
mouth, and the seven it had saved were then found all
alive in the pigeon's nest.
MR. JUSTICE CRESSWELL ON CHARTIST VIOLENCE.—
At the opening of the Commission of Assize at Durham,
on Saturday week, Mr. Justice Cresswell in addressing the
Grand Jury observed—" It is impossible that national
Prosperity can exist where social order is all at an end.
If any man will but take the trouble to read history with
an honest desire to draw lessons of wisdom from it ; or if
he will but attend to the events which are passing from
day to day in the nations by which we are surrounded. he
can' scarcely fail to arrive at a conclusion to that effect.
I know that distress makes men easy to be misled, but
they ought to know that there is no way more certain to
aggravate that distress tenfold then by yielding to admo-
nitions to violate the law, and to endeavour to obtain by
violence and force that which a man's industry can alone
secure. Though distress may co-exist with order, yet
wherever turbulence and discontent, insurrection against
the law, and a disregard of social duties are found, there
prosperity can never exist. But if reflections of this kind
are not sufficient to prevent men from violating the law,
I would have them remember that the arm of the law is
strong in this country. Let them remember that the
majesty of the law has been vindicated in the adjoining
county, and that those who forget its injunctions aM now
suffering the penalty due to their offences."

On Saturday week, one of the guards of the London
and Brighton Railway sprang from an engine before it
had stopped on to the New Cross station, when he missed
his footing, fell back, and the whole train passed over,

crushing him to death.
A perfect cure for the potatoe disease has at last, it is
said, been discovered, and applied to the crop in Germany.
Dr. Klotsch, of Berlin, has received a reward of 1,400
dollars from the Prussian government, for the discovery.
The same manner of preventing the disease was discovered
nearly at the same time, by the celebrated Professor
Liebig, but Dr. Klotsch has tested it for the space of three
years successfully, and on a large scale. The plan is to
pinch off about half an inch from the top of the plant,
when it has reached a height of six to nine inches, and to
repeat the operation ten or twelve weeks after the time
of planting, on all the stems of the plant.
FAILURE IN GLASGOW.—We are sorry to have to an-
nounce the failure of the very respectable firm, in Glas
gow, of Dunlop, Rowand, and Co., South American and
Australian merchants. They have branches at Liverpool,
Buenos Ayres, Monte Video, Sydney, and Port Philip.
There has been no meeting yet, and their liabilities are
variously stated at from £150,000 to £170,000. Some
houses here have been named as creditors for considerable
sums, but so far as we have been able to ascertain, the
amounts mentioned are advances upon goods consigned to
the foreign houses, and which will be kept distinct from
the general assets. It is said that a large proportion of
the debts will be owing to houses in India for produce
shipped from thence to Australia.—Glasgow paper.
SERIOUS CONFLICT.—A few days ago a portion of the
town of Doncaster, called the " Rookery," was kept in a
complete uproar, in consequence of a lot of navvies em-
ployed on the railway works attempting to chase all the
Irish from the neighbourhood. As the navvies were
armed with spades and other implements of their craft,
they were not long in breaking open the doors which shel-
tered the Irish. A general row then ensued, in which
shillaleaghs, spade handles, fists, &c. were used very
freely. Blood flowed profusely, and of course there was
a great deal of shouting, screaming, hooting, hallooing,
and swearing. The combatants, however, finally sepa-
rated for a time—from what cause does not exactly appear.
Another row, however, soon after took place. • and the
place, having become occupied by a considerable number
of both parties, was the scene of a very brisk and at first
rather orderly fight, which soon turned into a regular
tneWe. The magistrates and police at last overcame the
rioters, but not until many parties had been nearly killed.
HYDROPHOBIA.—On Monday, Mrs. Elstob, of Mont-
pelier-row, Blackheath, with her two daughters, whilst
driving a gig in the Kent-road, a few yards from the Pa-
ragon' were compelled to stop in consequence of a crowd
that had collected round some posturers, and the animal,
a fine chesnut mare, became restive at the noise. Almost
at the same moment, a large bull dog-sprang from the side
of a butcher, and firmly fixed itself on the neck of the
animal. The mare immediately darted off at a furious

rate; the ladies, however, fortunately received no injury,
but upon the beast being stopped, she was found to be
most dreadfully lacerated. An attempt was then made to
secure the dog, which snapped at several persons, but the
butcher permitted it to escape, alleging that it was not his
property, but belonged to a carman living in the Dover-
road. The mare, after being taken home, was exceedingly
restless, and afterwards became so furious as to
kick down a portion of her stall, and upon Mr. Adkins,
the veterinary surgeon, being sent for, he declared that
the poor animal was labouring under hydrophobia, and
upon his suggestion she was immediately killed.
During the last two or three weeks one of the swindl-
ing gentry, giving his name as Rowan, took up his resi-
dence at Mr. W. Parker's, near Oxford, and representing
himself to be a retired merchant, he succeeded in getting
money and goods of some of the tradesmen, having
secured a reference to a respectable solicitor, by causing a
confederate to pay money as for rent due to him, on ap-
plication being made by the man of law. He feigned
blindness, and had with him a youth whom he introduced
as his son. Suspicions having been roused in the minds
of some of the persons be bad thus duped, an inquiry was
set on foot, and the villain thought it time to make him-
self scarce, but not before he had taken in Messrs. Wot-
ton, the bankers, by continually paying in and drawing
out sums of money, at the last taking care to overdraw
his account; Mr. Symonds, a medical man, by inviting
him to dinner, and paying his bill for attendance by a
draft exceeding the debt of £l2, and pocketing the change ;
Mr. Hobdell, a jeweller, and Messrs. Hookham and thirty
tailors also suffered, as well as Mr. Parker, with whom he
had run up a bill for £l4 for board and lodging.
SCENE IN COURT.—DANGERS OF A JUDGESHIP.—At
our assizes, on Wednesday, a stalwart Irishman, of the
name of Edward Coyle, pleaded guilty before Mr. Justice
Cresswell, to a charge of housebreaking, and requested his
Lordship to favour him with a seven years' transportation.
As the circumstances of the case, however, did not justify
his Lordship in extending to him his wished-for boon, he
substituted instead a twelve months' imprisonment ; upon
hearing which, the would-be tourist growled out in a tone
transported with anger—" Thank ye, yer honour," and
stooping down—before any one was aware of his intentions
—pulled off one of his iron-shod " brogues," and hurled
it at his Lordship's bead. The formidable missile, which
might have put an abrupt termination to his Lordship's
judicial labours, struck him somewhere on the breast,
most fortunately, however, without inflicting any serious
injury. After regaining his composure, of which the sud-
denness of the act had for a moment deprived him, his
Lordship is said to have observed, in a slightly disconcerted
tone, to those around him, " This comes, you see, of
thwarting people's wishes !" The prisoner was imme-
diately removed.—. Durham Advertiser.
A ROGUE ROBBED.—We mentioned, a short time ago,
that a Mr. Curtis, collector of rates at Salford, had ab-
sconded with a considerable sum of money belonging to
,oat township, and that he was known to have gone to
America by the steamer Niagara. Upon his arrival at
Boston he landed, and remained in that city a short time,
representing himself, as he did in the vessel, to be an
English farmer, emigrating to the " far west." During
his stay there, he met with a man named Robinson, by
whom he was accompanied to New York, and who even-
tually abstracted from him the whole of his money, viz.,
1400 dollars. The case excited great commiseration in
Boston. Captain Ryrie. with great generosity, upon
hearing of the loss at once tendered Curtis and his wife a
free passage back to England in the Niagara. The kindly
feeling evinced in this offer is highly honourable to Capt.
Ryrie, who was actuated by a desire to ameliorate the
sufferings of a distressed fellow-creature. The gallant
captain, however, knew not that the money of which
Curtis had been deprived was the fruit of rascality as great
as that of which he had been the victim.
SALMON FISHING IN SUTHERLANDSHIRE.—The Duke
of Sutherland has given a jubilee this year to all the rivers
in Sutherlandshire ; and as this applies to net as well as
rod fishing, the rivers are absolutely teeming with salmon,
grilse, and trout. A friend from the banks of the Shin
writes that that river presents the appearance of a boiling
pot of water, from the constant leaping of the fish ; and,
as the watching is strictly preserved, he anticipates the
same increased produce next year from the rivers which
a year's rest secures from the land. It is only, however,
in a few counties, like Sutherlandshire, where the fishings
are in the hands of one or two proprietors, that such an
experiment can be effectually tried ; as in the case of the
Tay, where the upper and lower portions of the river
belong to different proprietors, the interests of the parties
are too conflicting to admit of a common measure of the
above nature. We may mention that the gentleman
above referred to is yearly receiving additional confirma-
tion of his theory, that the par is the young of the sal-
mon at a particular stage. A great variety of that genus
were taken from the Shin, in December last, and trans-
ferred to ponds formed at the sides of the river, some of
which showed the silvery scale of the smolt in May, and
others subsequently, according to their age. There seems
now, indeed, no ground upon which this fact can reason-
ably be disputed.
LOYAL ORANGEMEN.—The masters of Orange Lodges
in the Bradford district have issued an address to the
protestants of the British nation. The Rev. J. Burnet,
L.L.D., vicar, has also written an admirable address in
favour of the loyal institution of Orangemen ; they are
unitedly issued in the shape of a small pamphlet, and are
circulating freely both in the town and neighbourhood.
Both the vicar and orangemen urge the necessity of all
who value the liberties of the British constitution to come
forward and join the loyal body ; for, as the vicar says,
there is nothing in the aspect of these days of religious
declension and political expediency to lead us to think
that the safeguards proposed by the Orange institution,
and the brotherly love and fidelity encouraged and exerci-
sed by them, may not be again required, on behalf of the
Altar, the Throne, and the Briton's fireside. Their cause,
therefore, is worthy of the sympathy and patronage, nay,
the fellowship of all true lovers of what used to be our
glorious constitution. The Orangemen also call upon
their protestant conservative fellow-subjects, of whatever
rank in life, to associate with them, to show their love to
their country by being determined to uphold her protes-
tant institutions against the wiles and inroads of popery,
and to unite with them with heart and hand for the pre-
servation of the Church and Queen. A new Orange
Lodge is in course of formation at the house of Mr. John
Bell, the Commercial Inn, Bradford, and is likely to be
one of the most respectable lodges in the town or neigh-
bourhood.
THE DISTRESSED NEEDLEIVOMEN.—Emma Mounser,
a wretched female, but who had evidently seen much
better days, was brought before Mr. Norton, at Lambeth,
on a charge of unlawfully pawning seventeen shirts, the
property of Messrs. Moses and Sons, Aldgate. The pri-
soner had been given into custody by a person named
Skerrett, who had been her security for the safe return of
such work as she might receive from Messrs. Moses and
Co., on a charge of pawning seventeen out of eighteen
shirts she had received to make up. The prisoner
could not deny pawning the shirts, but said she had
been driven to the act by sheer and positive necessity.
Her husband, who was a printer, she said, was out of em-
ployment, as well as her son and daughter, and all, at
this particular time, were dependent on the wretched
pittance which she made by shirt-making. Mr. Alston
to the prisoner—What were you paid for making these
shirts ? Prisoner—Half-a-crown a dozen, your worship,
or twopence halfpenny a piece. The utmost she could do
in the day was to make two shirts, and deducting from
this the price of the thread, cotton and needles, all of
which she was to find herself, she could not make more
than fourpence a day. Mr. Norton remarked that this
was really shameful, for he felt satisfied that, until a living
profit could be given to the poor people for making up
such goods, they would be better without them. A per-
son present said that the competition in such business was
so great that his employers, Messrs. Moses and Sons,
could not afford to pay more than the present rate. Mr.
Norton thought they had the means of raising the prices ;
for if Messrs. Moses and Sons and other houses chose to
raise the price of shirt-making to a scale which would
give those working at this business a means of subsistence,
the houses paying a smaller price would not find any per-
son to work fc r them. Mr. Norton, believing that the
prisoner had I evicted the property under the pressure of
extreme distress, discharged her, but cautioned her as to
her future conduct.

IMPORTANT FACT.—POTATOES.—In a brick-yard situ-
ate near this town, eight long rows of Holberry potatoes
were planted early in spring, side by side ; six of these
were manured with good stable manure, the other two
rows were only scattered over with ashes and brick-dust
when planted, and, singular as it may appear, the six
manured rows have all fallen under the virulence of the

disease, and are completely rotten, whilst the other two
sprinkled over with brick-dust are as healthy as possible ;
the tubers fine and large, and the produce as large as can
reasonably be desired.—Doncaster Chronicle.
ECONOMY.—The Ordnance estimates have just re-ap-
peared with the very agreeable improvement of a dimi-
nution to the extent of £120,000 in the amount required
for the service of the current year. The satisfaction of
our readers will be in no degree lessened when we inform
them that this saving is to be accomplished without the
loss of a single man, horse, or gun, to that effective force
which was originally specified as requisite to the security
and credit of the country. The defences of Pembroke
dockyard have been cut down from £15,000 to £BOOO, and
the store accommodation in the Tower from £6OOO to
£4OOO. £12,000 has been scraped together from the bat-
teries by which the Coast-guard was to protect our shores,
and £lO,OOO from a single defensive battery at Colehouse
Point. The new barracks at Birmingham and Kensing-
ton are altogether shelved, by which we save some £15,000.
Even Bradford is to be curtailed of that increased barrack
accommodation which recent events prove to have been
not injudiciously projected, although £7OOO was all the
estimated expense. Woolwich must manage without two
new storehouses, and the Secretary at War with £lO,OOO
less than was demanded for military penitentiaries. This
was, perhaps, a warrantable reduction ; but, with all ad-
mission of the straits to which stern necessity drives us,
we do really wish that the £lO,OOO for regimental schools
under governmrnt inspection had not been cut down to
£5OOO. . _

A LUCKY ESCAPE.—At the Bodmin assizes, last week,
the last cause was an action brought by the assignees of
the Honiton Bank against one of the customers of that
bank for the balance of an account. The matter extended
over a period of many years. and was to the extent of up-
wards of £lOO,OOO. Mr. Butt, in opening the plaintiff's
case to the jury, stated, that in general juries were told
that a case would last some hours, but in the present in-
stance he was sorry to inform them they would be de-
tained at least 10 days, and then they would be paid Bd-
for their attendance. The instantaneous effect produced
on the jury by this announcement was perfectly ludicrous.
One of them jumped up, and stated that he had come into
the box understanding that the cause was a short one, but
that he was exceedingly unwell, and he entreated the
Court to excuse him. After some time the counsel con-
sented to try the case with 11 jurors, and that fortunate
man was permitted to leave the box. The jury were then
told that they must take pen, ink, and paper, and put
down the different checks that would be produced in evi-
dence, most of which were under £2O, and when the
cause was over they must add them up, and then go into
a minute calculation of interest. This seemed completely
to upset the jury. The foreman rose, and, amidst roars
of laughter, by his gestures appeared to be imploring the
judge to allow him to retire. The judge was almost con-
vulsed. At length, when silence was in some degree re-
stored, the foreman begged to go home. This, however,
he was told was impossible, and the cause proceeded till
three o'clock, when the parties came to an arrangement,
and the jury were told that they were discharged.
THE SALE AT STOWE HOUSE, BUCKINGHAMSHIRE.—
The public are but too well aware that the contents of
this magnificent house are about to be brought to the
hammer by Messrs. Christie and Manson, the pecuniary
embarrassments of the noble owner having reached the
climax which renders such an alternative necessary. The
sale commences on the 15th inst., and will extend over a
period of 37 days. It is the " order in variety," of which
Pope sung. which makes Stowe " the work to wonder at,"
but we live to see the ruthless spoliation of the place, to
mourn over the ejection of the Muses from one of their
dearest haunts, by cruel and unsympathising—brokers !
The original mansion was built by Sir Richard Temple,
towards the end of the seventeenth century ; the wings
were added by his son Lord Cobham ; but the edifice
gained the architectural grandeur it now wears form the
extensions and improvements of Earl Temple, and his
nephew, the subsequent Marquis of Buckingkam. The
centre of the building is upwards of 450 feet in length,
while from end to end it measures more than 900. The
portico of the south-east is composed of six Corinthian
columns and two pilasters, standing on the summit of
thirty-one steps, embellished at tha base with a pair of
lions on pedestals. In the loggia, and in the intercolum-
niations and recesses on the sides, are several fine groups
of statuary in white marble ; and the lonic entablature is
richly decorated with bas reliefs. The chief apartments
consist of an entrance hall designed by Kent, an oval sa-
loon supported by scagliola pillars, an Egyptian hall, a
music-room, a library, and anti-library, a print room, a
carved chapel, a banquetting room, and a series of mag-
nificent state rooms, &c. The furniture and embellish.,
meats of these chambers are of the most superb descrip-
tion, and the effect of the ensemble is bewildering in its
mul iplicity and in its air of undeviating and redundant
gorgeousness. The gardens have long enjoyed celebrity,
and their magnitude and picturesque beauty are, we ap-
prehend, unrivalled. These pleasure-grounds cover a
surface of 500 acres ; and, in addition to the most en-
chanting effects of wood and water, a number of architec-
tural edifices diversify the scene, and, because of their
historical and personal associations, specially arrest the
attention. There are several noble arches ; monuments
to Congreve, William Pitt, Queen Caroline, &c. • tem-
ples to a long list of " British worthies," and to the Vir-
tues and Graces ; altars, fountains, cascades obelisks,
alcoves, towers, &c.—studding the landscape with repeated
features of novelty, and alike excellent and alluring in
effect.

young man of about 24, of gentlemanly appearance, and
society. It appeared in evidence that about 11 o'clock
on Thursday morning the prisoner, giving the name of
Page, and stating that he was staying at Hyde-park
Hotel, Oxford-street, hired a bay mare, worth £3O, of
Mr. J. Tollett, liverv-stablekeeper, of Oxford-street, for
an hour's ride. As he did not return, Mr. Tollett caused
an advertisement to be inserted in a Sunday paper (Bell's
life in London), describing the mare and the prisoner,
and such advertisement led to the prisoner's apprehension.
It appears that between 8 and 9 o'clock the prisoner ar-
rived at the York Hotel, Brighton, with the horse, which
was taken to Mr. Poole's livery-stables. The next morn-
ing he took a warm bath, and asked the bath-keeper to
procure him a shirt, a collar, and a pair of socks, which he ,
did, and the prisoner then sent his dirty linen to the hotel,
and promised to pay for the new articles in an hour, on
the arrival of the train from town. About 8 o'clock the
same morning he called on Mr. Poole, to whom he sta-
ted that he rode the mare from London on the previous
day for a wager, and that he threw her down and broke
her knees at Godstone, but he hoped that Mr. Poole
would be able to get her into condition for him to ride
her to the Brighton races on Wednesday. He also
asked Mr. Poole to cash a check for him, but this Mr.
Poole declined to do, referring him to Mr. Pegg, the
landlord of his hotel. On Sunday morning the prisoner
again called on Mr. Poole, and asked him what the mare
would be worth to him ; but Mr. Poole declined to name
a price, and the same evening his suspicions were aroused
that the prisoner and the mare had been advertised in
the newspaper. The suspicion soon became certainty, ,
and the prisoner was apprehended. No money was found. •
on him. The magistrates said the case was one for a
jury. Not only had the prisoner taken the horse away,
but he had gone by different names. He now gave the
name of Henry Bowdler ; he obtained the horse in the
name of William Page ; and the shirt which he had
changed at the bath was marked J. R. Brown. It was
further stated in court that the prisoner since his arrival '
at Brighton had obtained clothing from Mr. Abrahams
and Mr. Searle, without paying for it, and in a manner
to show that he had calculated the chance of ready-money
being required of a stranger and guarded against it. He
was committed for trial.
STATISTICS OF EDUCATION AND CRIME.—SODIe
mmths ago we laid before !our readers some remarkable
evidences of the neglect of education in Wales, and of the
frightful depths of ignorance consequently prevailing.
The gaol returns, just published by order of the House of
Commons, present not less astounding proofs of the defi-
ciency of education in England. We shall take the ex-
amples as they are arranged in alphabetical order, not se-
lecting the most striking instances. The chaplain of
Bedford Gaol states, that' the 'great majority of the pri-
soners are ignorant stupid and unconcerned—unacquainted
with the commonest scriptural phrases. The chaplain of
the Berks Gaol reports, that of 631 prisoners, 236 were ig-
norant of the alphabet, and 204 unacquainted with the
first principles of the christian faith, and ignorant even of
the Saviour's name. He observes, children, or men still
childish, had learned to read or write,but had not learned to
understand what they had been taught ; the ears had heard, ,
thetongue had learned utterance, but the mind had received
no idea, no impression. Lamentable it is, he proceeds to
say, that even the criminal population of a Christian land
should show a proportion of one-third strangers to the
very first truths of religion. The Abingdon chaplain re-
ports that out of 196 prisoners, 13 were in utter ignorance,
and unable to repeat the Lord's prayer; 52 could
not read, and 83 knew neither the Creed nor the Com-
mandments. The report of the Brecon chaplain is,
that though the majority of prisoners can read imper-
fectly, yet their education has been so imperfect that they
have no notion of the bearing and the connexion of
one part of a sentence with another, or of the meaning of
words of frequent occurrence in Scripture. Nine out of
ten that have come under this rev. gentleman's observa-
tion were, he states, totally ignorant of the merest rudi-
ments of Christianity ; six out of ten did not know whose
son Jesus Christ is, nor wherefore he came into the world ;
five out of ten did not know the Queen's name. The
Bucks report sets forth that about half the prisoners can
read and write ; one-fourth can read easy passages of
Scripture ; another fourth are either ignorant of the alpha-
bet or unable to read the simplest words ; and that igno-
rance is almost uniformly accompanied with the greatest -
depravity. The Cambridge chaplain reports that out of
229 prisoners, 140 were able to read, 80 could not read, 61
could not repeat the Lord's Prayer, 80 were ignorant of
the Commandments and the Creed. In Cornwall, it ap-.
pears that out of 688 prisoners 304 could neither read nor, -
write, 139 could not repeat the Lord's Prayer, and were
ignorant of the Saviour's name. In Dorset, out of 674
prisoners, 409 did not understand the meaning of the •
Lord's Prayer, and 119 were entirely ignorant, one or two
of the very name, and all of the work and mission of the
Redeemer. And this is the general tenour of the reports ;
indeed, we have not met with a single exception, where the •
statistics of education and crime are embraced, but some
of the returns are defective in this important branch of '
inquiry. And with these disgraceful facts in evidence
from all quarters, will the opponents of the ministerial •
system for extending public instruction yet maintain., that
the education of the country is neither defective in Tian-
fly nor in quality ?

coppered and copper-fastened. This magnificent vessel, having
the same owners and builders as the celebrated Packet Ship
Jamestown, has demonstrated herself to be an extraordinary
swift sailing ship, which, combined with other good qualities,
esteemed by shippers of goods and passengers, render her emi-
nently adapted for the requirements of the Liverpool and New
York trade.

Owing to the neap tides this week, the SENATOR will
probably be detained for two or three days beyond her ap-
pointed day of sailing, and will, therefore, receive goods whilst

The splendid Packet-ship "Andrew Foster" will sail as
above. She is without exception the best specimen of naval
architecture that ever left the port. She is built of the best
materials, is quite new, having performed only one voyage.
and that with a rapidity which leaves her unrivalled.
Her between decks are lofty, airy, and expansive, being well
furnished with patent ventilators, which serve to carry off the
impurities that so often generate disease.
In addition to the above, the unremitting kindness and at-
tention which emigrants are well known to receive from her
experienced Commander, will render her a very desirable con-
veyance for persons intending to emigrate.
Passengers desirous of being very comfortable and select,
can, at a very moderate expense, secure berths in the cabin on
deck, which is set apart for a few respectable persons.
The precaution of securing the best berths before leaving
home, which can be done by remitting as part payment of
passage, will be found to greatly diminish the annoyance, trou-
ble, and expense to which passengers win be otherwise exposed.

WRILE much may be done by the Legislature to
raise the health of Society to its highest possible stan-
dard, the attainment of this desirable object is much more
dependent upon the cultivation of individual health. The
welfare of the social whole, is made up of the welfare of its
Farts. A becoming attention to personal health, then, is an
important means of advancing the great cause of Sanatory
Reform ; and this attention cannot be more beneficially directed
than to the correction of all irregularities in the functions of the
Digestive organs, and to the removal of the first symptoms of
the many dangerous and fatal disorders which cut short, and
render painful, the existence of man. These objects can only
be attained by the use of medicinal agents ; and we respectfully
inform you that we are the proprietors of one which, for twenty
years, has been most celebrated.
MOXON'S EFFERVESCENT MAGNESIAN APERIENT
is the most agreeable and efficient medicine ever discovered,
containing all the properties of the best Saline Purgatives, with
the palatable qualities of a glass
of SODA WATER. Pleasant
from its effervescing form,
.fehrifuge in its influence on the
stomach and system, certain in its operation on the bowels,
whenever a purgative is required, this elegant preparation
is the best that can be used.
It is especially adapted for the relief of Habitual or Casual
Costiveness, Bilious Affections: Indigestion, Heartburn, Pains
in the Head, Lowness of Spirits, Nausea, Irritation of the
Stomach and Bowels, Piles, Fistula, the effects of excess either
in eating or drinking, &c., and, by its occasional use during
the summer months, for the prevention of those serious dis-
orders, Cholera, Diarrhtea, and Dysentery.
Thousands of those who, from habits of life, or hereditary
constitution, are subject to that painful and, in the end, dan-
gerous disorder, the GOUT, have found astonishing relief from
the use of this preparation. If taken regularly, its cooling,
antacid, and corrective properties. will altogether prevent the
accession of this disorder; and, if taken during the fit, will
speedily relieve the pain and limit its dpration.Many Medical
Authors of great celebrity have recommended it for this pur-
pose. Extracts from their works, and many other testimo-
nials, are contained in the bill wrapped round each bottle.
Visitors to Harrowgate, Cheltenham, Leamington, Bath, and
other Spas, find it to be of great service in assisting the opera-
tion of the waters.
It is sold in bottles at 2s. 9d., 4s. 6d., and Ils., the latter
containing five of the first size.
We also prepare a concentrated form of the celebrated
" COMPOUND DECOCTION OF SARSAPARILLA"
of the London Pharmacopoeia, which we declare to contain all
the alterative, antiscorbutic, and restorative properties of that
decoction, in an enduring and portable shape. It is sold in
bottles at 4s. 6d., 125., and 12s, ; equal, respectively to 6, 16,
and 32 pints of the London Decoction.
All respectable Medicine Vendors sell our Medicines, and we
undertake to forward any quantity amounting to 20s. or more,
to any part of the Kingdom, carriage free, on receipt of a
Postothre Order for the amount.
