vered that she possessed more than OA in money, al-
though she had log received relief from the parish.
A Novei. SWWP.—Amongst the various plans adopted
in Sunderland, to enable parties to emigrate to America,
is one of a novel character, that of several hundred per-
sons joining in a sweep of la. each, the person drawing
the prize ticket to take the whole of the money.
The youthful Marquis of Bournont (son of the Duke of
Roxburghe, and grandson of the late Sir C. Dalbiac), who

ness of Douglas, Count D'Orsay, &c.
A fellow named John Dawson, being brought before
the Edinburgh magistrates the other day, for stealing a
loaf from a baker's shop, pleaded starvation as his excuse.
On searching him, however, there were found on his per-
son six sovereigns, ono Irish pound note, one shilling in
silver, and 21d. in copper. He was sent to the treadmill
for sixty days.
A NEW KIND OF ROBBERY.—Within the last few
weeks, that class of vagabonds known as bone and rag-
gatherers, have stripped all the printed placards off the
usual posting places in Leeds. and sold the same at six-
pence per stone, to make, we suppose, new paper of.
Some of them have been brought before the magistrates.
Being first offenders, they were discharged with a repri
mand.—Leeds Intelligencer.
ISLE OF MAN.—On Monday the preliminary inquiry
took place into the charge of murder against John Bridge-
man, a private of the 15th foot, stationed at Castleton, for
shooting a brother soldier named John Connor, on the Ist
of March instant, in the barracks in that town. The jury,
after having retired a short time, returned and indicted the
prisoner, who was committed to prison to stand his trial
for the murder.

DISTRESS IN LEEDS.—We are sorry to say that, in-
stead of diminishing, the distress has greatly increased.
Passing events have determined the working men of Leeds
to bring their condition before the public, and for this
purpose a meeting of the unemployed was held on
Friday. A formidable array of men took place willing and
anxious to labour, who are unfortunately deprived of the
opportunity.
A dividend was declared on Thursday, at the half-
yearly meeting of the proprietors of the Bank of England,
at the rate of 41 per cent. for the half year, interest and
profits, free of income-tax. A higher rate was contended
for by a section of the parties present ; but the former one
being but 4 per cent., it was thought there was no cause
for dissatisfaction. It was also resolved that the system
of electing the governor and deputy-governor by rotation
should be abandoned.

VENTILATION.—In our prisons, contrived under me-
dical advice and superintendence, 1,1)00 cubic feet of air
is held to be necessary for each person. In No. 2,
Church-lane, St. Giles's, London, the allowance to each
inmate is eighty-six feet ! in No. 4, only seventy-seven ;
and in No. 7, it is no more than fifty-four. The mor-
tality is naturally very great. Out of 100 children born,
there die, in Islington, sixteen without attaining the age
of twelve months •, in the city of London, nineteen ; but
in Church-lane, thirty-one!
Lord Ashley and Mr. Stafford, M.P., have, through the
medium of the Times, made an appeal to the public on
behalf of the many thousands of English workpeople, who
have been suddenly and violently driven from France to
the shores of their own country, without, in many
instances, having received the arrears of their wages, or
being permitted to bring with them the smallest portion
of their property. The Queen and Prince Albert have
given £2OO towards the object.
FALSE REPORT.—In their haste to give the " earliest
intelligence," the London papers stated that a person of
the name of Wm. Hall, residing at Twigworth, Glouces-
ter, had, while in a drunken fit, murdered his wife by
kicking her. It turns out, however, that the husband
having returned home rather the worse for liquor, she
begun to scold him, and in the height of her passion fell
down and expired. The poor fellow was greatly dis-
tressed at the circumstance.

PATIENT SEARCH REWARDED.—RecentIy a fine large
vein of lead ore was discovered in the manor of Hartsop,
Patterdale, of which the Earl of Lonsdale is lord. It was
found by a poor man, a miner, named Hodgson, who, for
upwards of 25 years, felt convinced that there was a vein
in the manor, and who, from time to time during that
long period, has searched, and, at last, found it, and who
has been presented with a share of it, as a reward for the
discovery. The ore is of the best quality, and there is no
doubt but that the company who are working it will realise
large profits.
THE RIOTS IN SCOTLAND.—Accounts from Glasgow
state that no further disturbances had taken place. All
was quiet, and business was going on in the usual way.
The colliers and their employers had had a meeting re-
specting the demand for increased wages, but the masters
refused to comply. The only thing Frenchified about the
revolt at Glasgow was an attempt to erect a barricade on
a small scale at the head of the Gallowgate. It consisted
of three coalcarts and a few planks. Its defenders, how-
ever, were found wofully wanting in French courage, for
when the military appeared they fled. From Aridrie, Kil-
marnock, Paisley, Greenock, and Edinburgh, the reports
are all equally favourable.
MELANCHOLY STATEMENT.—A letter has been received
at Leith from Peterhead, dated the 11th instant, which
states that the whale trader Hannibal, of that port, Capt.
Laurie, had been lost on the shores of Norway on the Ist
of February, and all on board drowned, with the excep-
tion of one of the crew, who lashed himself to the mizen-
mast, and there remained five days without food or drink.
It states that the ill-fated ship was in the latitude of the
Orkneys on tha 31st of January, and on the day following,
during a tremendous sea, the crew, fifteen in number, and
five Germans, whom they had picked off a wreck, were
all washed off and lost. The Germans belonged to the
Lydia, of Embden, and were picked up in the North Sea
to suffer another and fatal shipwreck.
JOSEPH ADY.—At Bow-street Police-office, on Satur-
day, Mr. Peacock, solicitor to the post-office, applied to
Mr. Henry for a warrant to apprehend Joseph Ady. It
will be recollected that Ady was convicted some time
since at this court, and ordered to pay for the postage of
certain unpaid letters to the amount of upwards of £l6.
He promised to pay if allowed time ; but not having made
his appearance at Mr. Peacock's, an execution was issued
against his goods; but on attempting to levy this, Joseph
produced a receipt, signed by his sister, proving that the
property had all been assigned over to her. Under these
circumstances Mr. Peacock now attended to obtain a war-
rant against his body, in order, if possible, to cure him of
his cacoethes scribendi, for he is still carrying on his busi-
ness as briskly as ever, and innumerable letters from him
passed through the post-office daily. Mr. Henry said he
would put the law in force to the utmost extent to stop
him, and ordered that the warrant should be issued imme-
diately.
LORDS ELLENBOROITGH AND HARDINGE.—AIthough the
necessity for a war policy might have been great, and it
was indispensably necessary to restore the pristige of the
British arms throughout India, Lord Ellenborough's rule
was essentially warlike and uneasy. The same fate ap-
pears in some measure to have attended upon the govern-
ment of Lord Hardinge, although it is in this respect
more favourably judged than that of his predecessor—that
no question has been raised as to his moderation in victory,
more than as to his dexterity and firmness in preparing
the triumph of the British arms when every effort had
been exhausted for the maintenance of the peace. We
do not judge Lord Ellenborough unfavourably, we simply
enunciate a fact when we say that the result of a com-
parison between his government and that of his successor
is to proclaim him prone to war, and Lord Hardinge de-
sirous of peace. It was, however, the lot of the latter
Governor to fight many " great battles," any one of which
war more important and sanguinary than all the hostilities
of Lord Ellenborough's rule.—Times.
CORN, &C., FROM AMERICA.—The Farmer's Journal
of Saturday, says, " Our advises from America are to the
effect that the value of both wheat and flour is on the
advance in the New York market, although the whole of
the orders received out from England had been executed.
We have the best authority for stating that they have not
exceeded, since the commencement of the present year,
200,000 parcels of flour, and 220,000 quarters of wheat and
Indian corn. These quantities may be thus divided :
FLOUR. Brl s.
Shipped off, from the Ist Jan. to the 24th Feb. 120,000
Purchased for spring delivery BO,OOO

Total Flour..
GRAIN. Qrs.
Shipped off, from the Ist Jan. to the 24th Feb. 90,000
Purchased for spring delivery 130,000

Total Grain 220,000
Thus it will be perceived that we have yet to receive 80,000
barrels of flour, and 130,000 quarters of grain, at least
80,000 of the latter being Indian corn, and which can
have but little influence upon the wheat trade here. It is,
however, quite evident that very large quantities of flour
and grain will find their way hither during the present
year on American account.

COURAGE OF A CLERGYMAN.—At the Nottingham
assizes, Joseph Palmer. aged 24, was placed at the bar,
charged with having on the night of the 17th of January
last, broke into the house of the Rev. Charles Walter
Hudson, at Saundby. The prosecutor, on the night of
January 17, had been sitting up somewhat later than his
ordinary hour, reading, when he heard a noise at one of
the windows, and looking through saw a man, though at
the same time he must have remained unobserved. The
prosecutor went round stealthily to the front door, and
there saw three men in all. They were extracting a pane
of glass. The rev. gentleman immediately armed himself
with a poker, and the moment one of the men made an
entry, knocked him down. The prisoner (for it turned
out to be him) immediately rose, and attempted to escape
by the window, in which ho was assisted by the men out-
side, who laid hold of him and attempted to drag him
through. The prosecutor, however,. clung to his man,
and was actually dragged through the window along with
Palmer. The two men then commenced an attack upon
him, beating him about the head, face, and arms ; but all
would not do, and they were obliged to quit the field,
leaving their companion in the grasp of the enemy. The
learned judge (Menlo) was loud in the praise of the intre-
pidity awl courage displayed by Mr. Hudson, and in tes-
tizoony of his approval of iii+Lconduct, oitkma the. suan u.
ten pounds to be paid over and above the expenses allowed
Lti the character of prosecutor,

Discorwrs.—The gold in the coffers of the Bank of
&gland now nearly amounts to £15,000,000. With such
an enormous stock of treasure, it may be expected by
many persons that the directors will f.irther reduce the
rate of interest. The adoption of such a measure at the
present juncture would, however, be hardly prudent, for,
although there is every prospect of a large surplus remain-
ing in this country. still the threatening aspect of affairs
abroad warrants excessive caution on their part, especially
in connection with the cheapening of money. In the
discount market, the brokers are inclined to support rates,
and no disposition has been exhibited on their parts to
bring them down. About three and a half per cent. is
tho most current quotation.
MIRACULOUS PRESERVATION.—On Thursday a woman
named Martha Bolston, attempted suicide by throwing
herself into the river Avon, at Bristol, close to the Sus-
pension-bridge. The tide was ebbing at the time, and
she was carried a long way rapidly down the river towards
the sea, when she struck against a trow, sunk, but, in
about a minute rose on the other side of the trow, having
passed under its bottom. At this time she was perceived
by Mr. Eaglestaffe, of the Rock-house, who, imagining
it to be a floating dead body, went in a boat and picked it
up. On being conveyed to Mr. Eeglestaffe's house, his
wife had her undressed, and having placed the body be-
fore a good fire, commenced exertions to restore life, and
after upwards of an hour, succeeded in restoring animation.
DISTRESSING WRECK.— On Tuesday the sloop Britain,
of Tintern, loaded with timber for railway purposes, left
that place for Newport, and, strange to say, the captain
(Thomas Davis) left behind him the hatches, although his
directions were to return with a cargo of coals. As the
vessel proceeded down the channel, and when near the
lighthouse, the waves were observed to beat over the
sloop, and the captain, with his brother-in-law (William
Maybury) and his son, were seen to take to the boat, and
shortly afterwards disappeared. The sloop was observed
for half an hour tossed to and fro before she went down.
By this melancholy event two women residing at Tintern
became widows, eleven children fatherless, and three un-
fortunate creatures were ushered into eternity.
GENERAL EVANS AND THE DUKE OF NEMOURS.—
A small affair excites curiosity in London. In the list of
early visitors to the Duc de Nemours was the name of
General Sir De Lacy Evans. Through The Times of
Thursday, the General declared that be had never called.
On Saturday Lord Foley asserts that the General's name
appears in the visiting-book, in his own handwriting, and
that a person of rank saw him write it there! in the
Times of yesterday the General says that be called at the
French Embassy, to pay his respects to the Duchess of
Montpensier, and asked for her special and separate
visitor's book, in which he wrote his name as Lieutenant-
General—the rank he holds in the Spanish army, and to
which he has not attained in the English. He states that
he had no intention to pay his respects to the French
prince. _ _ _

BEQUESTS TO THE NATlON.—Colonel Petrie left the
sum of 16,0001. to the Chancellor of the Exchequer for the
time being, to be applied to the use of his beloved native
land. The will was disputed on behalf of the widow on
the ground that the demise of the property was of too
vague a character to be valid. The Vice-chancellor,
however, held the bequest to be clear, and rightly claimed
by Mr. Gculburn for the service of the country. On
Wednesday, the Lord Chancellor, to whom an appeal was
made, affirmed the decision of the Vice-chancellor, and
dismissed the appeal with costs.—We have heard fast in
the case of the lady of Hereford who bequeathed all her
property towards paying off the national debt, the Trea-
sury has not, from the peculiar circumstances of the case,
claimed the money, but very properly left it to the survi-
ving relatives.

IS THE KING OF THE FRENCH RICII ?—The Times
of Monday says, `• In common with the rest of the
world, we were under the impression that the ex-king of
the French had prudently amassed and secured sufficient
funds to support his family in affluence and comfort, but
we regret to find that this notion is the reverse of the
truth. Louis Philippe, it now appears, whether from an
ill-grounded confidence in the stability of his govern-
ment, or from motives of nationality and patriotism—
possibly from a mixture of both—has entrusted the
whole fortunes of himself and his children to the soil or
the faith of France. If, therefore, the future legislature
should determine to confiscate the private property of
the House of Orleans, those unhappy princes would be
reduced to a state of destitution which would fill all
Europe with sentiments of shame and indignation. We
do not, however, anticipate anything so merciless and
unjust."
STRANGE DISCOVERY OF A BURGLAR.—A gentleman
named Dutton, aged 80, of the Brynne, near Wrexham,
Flintshire, was listening in bed to his clock striking the
hour of 12 at midnight, when to his surprise the last six
strokes sounded much louder than the former. The old
gentleman naturally supposed that a door had been opened ;
upon listening, he heard the jingling of keys, and to his
astonishment he was but too fully convinced that an in-
truder had entered his bedroom, and was about to take the
contents of his bureau. He immediately jumped out of
bed, and clasped an individual having on a fustian coat ;
he held him tightly, and called lustily for assistance. The
thief carried the fearless old gentleman through two rooms,
when his son-in-law and wife arrived, who succeeded in
capturing the burglar, who is now safely lodged in the
county gaol. It appears that the scoundrel had only been
dismissed from the service about three weeks.

MR. AND MISS VANDENHOFF. The play goers to
Wakefield theatre had a treat on Friday and Saturday
last, in the performances of Mr. and Miss Vandenhoff.
On Friday they played " Matthew Ellmore" and " Mar-
garet," in " Love's Sacrifice ;" and on Saturday the
" Stranger" and " Mrs. Haller," Mr. Vandenhoff sus-
taining also the character of " Young Wilding," in Foot's
comedy of " The Liar." They were most enthusiasti-
cally received, and called for on both nights. The writer
of this notice has seen " The Stranger" performed nearly
twenty times, but never saw it better performed than on
Saturday night, since " The Stranger" of Charles Kem-
ble. It is now twelve years since he wrote his last notice
of Miss Vandenhoff. During that period she has suffered
severely from affliction, but she comes again among us
with undiminished histrionic power, and looking more
beautiful than ever. We sincerely wish her a long life of
health and happiness, for the stage cannot afford to lose
so excellent an actress.—Leeds paper.
A REMORSE OF CONSCIENCE.—" The following proof
of remorse of conscience," says the Droit, " was given two
days ago :—A working man went to the commissary of
his quarter, and stated that, after fighting for the people
during the three days of February, he was among the first
to enter the Tuileries, and, reflecting on the state of desti-
tution in which he had left his wife and family, was
tempted to take a double breast-pin, united by a small
chain, and mounted with two large pearls, upon which he
afterwards obtained sf. from the Mont de Piet& which
saved four persons from starvation. But having got back
to work and pay, he was able to restore the sf. with the
ticket from the Mont de Piete, which he placed in the
hands of the commissary, who gave the man high praise
for his resolution in doing what was right. The pin, when
redeemed, was found to have belonged to the Duke de
Nemours, and each pearl is worth 500 f." The Droit adds,
" that several other similar restitutions have been made,
and among them a valuable tortoise-shell box, with a por-
trait set in gold."
SOMNAMBULISM EXTRAORDINARY.—A short time since,
Mr. Cunnington, of Brampton Moor, fancy turner, &c.,
was awakened about two o'clock in the morning by a
noise at his door. He got up and opened the window,
when his daughter Hannah called out, " Come father, go
to work, the steam is up." Mr. Cunnington dressed
himself as quickly as possible, and went to the engine
house. about 100 yards distant, when he found the steam
roaring out of the boiler which is attached to the engine
that turns his work. Having drawn the fire and made all
safe, he returned home for an explanation of the strange
occurrence, when he ascertained that his daughter had
got up in her sleep, taken the key, and gone to the engine ;
she had then made a fire and got the steam up, when she
returned home, but was unable to gain admission into the
house in consequence of the door being fastened by a drop
latch. She was still asleep when Mr. Cunnington re-
turned, and he had some difficulty in awakening her.
She had no knowledge of what had taken place, and what
makes the affair more extraordinary is, that she had not
been accustomed to do anything at the engine.—Derby
Reporter.
ARCTIC EXPEDITIONS.—It may confidently be hoped
that the arrangements made with a view of rendering
assistance to Sir John Franklin and his gallant crew may
be crowned with success, should the expedition have got
into difficulty. A reward of upwards of 100 guineas has
also been offered to any of the whale ships which may
bring information of the expedition, the actual amount of
the reward depending upon the authenticity and value of
the information conveyed. They have also been invited
to look out for any of the copper cylinders which Sir John
Franklin was directed to throw overboard daily on reach-
ing 65 deg. north. Although these precautions are most
proper and creditable to the authorities, we do net our-
selves feel any unnecessary anxiety as to the fate of the
ships. That they may have been hampered, as others
have been, is very probable, and is almost a necessary
contingency in the navigation of an icy sea, but we place
great hope in the materiel as well as personnel of the ex-
pedition ' • for ships better adapted for the service, better
equipped in all respects, or better officered and manned,
never left the shores of England on any of those arduous
voyages of discovery which have helped to raise the cha-
racter of the British seaman in the eyes of every enlight-
ened nation in the world.

THE ESQUIMAUX.—The two Esquireaux brought from
Davis's Straits by Captain Parker, of the Truelove, have
been exhibited, since their arrival, in several of the prin-
cipal towns in this county, and have been visited by
thousands of delighted spectators. They have received
the greatest encouragement in every place, and have been
presented with numerous valuable presents, consisting
principally of firearms, which they are greatly in need of
in their native country. The warmth of our climate
appears to have had a sensible effect upon their constitu-
tions, as they are evidently not so strong and healthy as
they were upon their arrival. While in their own country
they consumed between band 7 pounds of raw meat per day,
but now they only eat as much as au ordinary person. They
now eat cooked meat, which formerly they refused to taste.
When they first went on board the Truelove they appear-
ed as though they bad never been washed, and had a
dislike to the water ; but now their habits are so much
changed that they take the utmost delight in washing, and
go through the operation two or three times a-day. They
speak a little of the English language, and that in a very
perfect manner. They appear now to be very anxious to
return home, and, when told that they were to sail for
their native country on Tuesday next, they were quite
delighted. On Wednesday last they were invited to meet
the wardens and elder brethren of the Trinity-house at
their board meeting, when they were kindly presented
with a very valuable collection of new guns, ammunition,
tools, &c., suitable to the wants of themselves and their
fellow-countrymen. Captain Parker states that he has
laid out upwards of £IO4 in purchasing firearms and other
useful articles for them to take home. They sail for their
native land on Tuesday morning nest, by the Truelove.--

LIVERPOOL SHARE MARKET.-THIS DAY.

At our Share Market this morning we had more Stock offer-
ing than for some days past, and the increased pressure of it
has accelerated the fall in prices. The quotations were—

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE—nits DAY.

A few more limited arrivals of Wheat, Oats, and Oatmeal, with
a moderate supply of Flour, include the bulk of the receipts
coastwise and from Ireland since Friday; and from abroad we
have scarcely anything fresh in beyond 4910 qrs. of Indian
Corn.
The general bearings of the trade this morning were by no
means lively, but in many instances the reverse.
Fine old foreign Wheats supported late prices, but the lower
class samples were rather easier to purchase.
New Wheats receded Id. to 2d. per 70lb. from the rates of
this day week.
Flour was also in limited request, and rather depressed in
