MURDEROUS ASSAULT BY A PAUPER.-011Wednes-
day , mo: ning last, as Thomas Leads, a pauper in the
Workhouse, was tini,hing in-cif:fast, in the day-rjom,
James Winters, another pauper, came behind him, and,
with the handle of a maul, three quarters of a yard long,
and three inches in circumference, struck him severe
blows on the back and head, inflicted two contused wounds
on the right temporal bone, and can-ed much swelling of
the parts. Leads bled much, and in consequence became
considerably enfeebled. Vomiting ensued, and continued
for about ha fan hour, leaving the patient much in danger.
R inters cies ht.:night before Mr. Rushton the same marn-
and in his defence said that Leads had kinked him
the day before. It appeared afterwards that !there bad
been a fight on Tuesday, after dinner, and tam Leads had
intertered to put an end to the disturnance. Mr. Rushton
said this was a szninus case, and Mr. Robinson, who
attended on behalf of the parish authorities, said " If the
assault turns out more serious." Mr. Rushton : Yes, let
him be remanded to gaol to await the result, of the es-
sault.—The prisoner has been several times in custody for
assaults and worse offences.

OPENING OF TOE ALBERT BRIDGE, SALFORD.—This
bridge was opened to the public on Thursday, a little after
one o'clock. The company were regaled Kith biscuits,
wine, and lemonade. W. Ga, nett, Esq. ; the Mayors,
and the late borough-reeves of Manchester and Salford,
and Joseph Brotherton, Esq., M.P., each addressed the
assembly. -Mr. Garnett observed that he was glad the
Commlt ee had had the services of so valuable an assistant
as the chairman of the Preston sessions. T. B. Adeisop,
Esq., who was loudly called fur, said the opening of the
bridge reminded him that this was the birth day of a very
old inhabitant of Manchester—Mr. Fleming, who had
now attained his 76th year. Few improvements had taken
place in which Mr. Fleming had taken greater interest,
than in the construction of the Albeit Bridge. Mr. Ad-
dison then alluded to a con'ract which was entered into
on the 7th June, 1783, to the following effect:—" that we
Charles Jones and Jesse Broad, of Manchester, masons,
Samuel Banner, o' Moore, in the county of Chester, yeo-
man, end Henry Byrom, of the same place, maltater, are
held and firmly bound unto Thomas Butterworth Bayley.
Esq., of Hope, in the county of Lancaster, (formerly
chairman of Salford sessions) for the erection of the New
Balky Bridge, iu the sum of £1,500." The erection of
the Albert Bridge will c rst upwards of £9,000.
COMMISSIONERS OF HIGHWAYS.—The usual weekly
meelin4 of this body was held on Thursday, James Aspi-
nail, Esq., in the chair. The barricade in front of
Messrs. Jeffrey and Moni,h's premises in Basnett-street,
was again brought before the meeting, and the secre'ary
was directed to write to them to take it down on or before
Monday, (yesterday.) A letter was read, and deferred,
comelaining of a nuisance in Gr, enlend-street, proceeding
from the turpentine works belonging to Messrs. Phtt.
The Chairman stated that there was a great nuisance ex-
istit gin Dawson-street. Williamson-sqnare, in conse-
quence of ti ere not being any sewer th re to drain the
premises. All the Louses were flooded in a most dis-
graceful way, arid the dirt and water were earri:d smack
in to the cellars belonging to Mr. Ward, and the other re-
bid ents in the square. Mr Coreethe landlord, was ready
to make drains, but there was no use in his doing so un-
til the sewer had been first erected. It was understood
that Mr. Weightman's at'ention wool d immediately
called to tie subject. The Licensed V ictuallers' Society
prayt d that the lighting, paving, and sewerage rates on
their establishment in St. Anne-street, be remitted, as
the object of the Institution was one of a charitable na-
ture. The application was referred to the Commissio-
ners of the district, with the understanding that it would
be allowed ; and the board shortly after adjourned.
SUICIDE.—On Thursday, an inquest was held on the
body of Catharine Nary, a woman 61 years of age. The
deceased formerly resided with her sister and niece in a
cellar in Mersey-street. On Wednesday night the niece
slept from home, leavirg the deceased and her sister in
the cellar. In the moinieg she was told by the sister of
the deceased that she (deceased) was dead in her rporp,
the door of which was found tr be lecked on the inside.
On breaking open the door the deceased was found sus-
pended by the neck by a cord, from a nail in the wa 1,
quite lifeless, but the dody still warm. The deceased was

TESTIMONIAL TO MR. EDWARD FLOWER.—On Thurs-
day evening, a number of young men, connected with the
Association of 'Tradesmen's Assistants, assembled at Mr.
Ford's the King's Arms, St. John's-lane, to partake of
supper, and to present a testimonial of esteem to Mr.
Edward Flower, for his long and valuable services in the
cause of early shoo-closing. About fifty gentlemen were
present, Mr. W. B. Jones, chairman; Mr. Thomas My-
rams, vice. The supper was excellent. and well served.
After the usual loyal toasts, the chairman spoke of the
progress the cause had made, and called on Mr. Jackson
to present the testimonial. Mr. Jackson referred in
glowing terms to the services of Mr. Flower, to whom
they were mainly indebted for the success they had met
with, and to whom they would still look for advice and
support. lie then banded to Mr. Flower a handsome
purse containing fifty-five guineas, as a small token of the
esteem entertained for him by the assistants. Mr. Flower
replied in feeling and adequate terms. The kindness
shown him was:beyond what ne deserved, or ever expected.
He had laboured to a considerable extent, but others had
done attach also. They had made such progress in the
cause, that he trusted-their wishes would yet be more
fully realized. He concluded by saying that he never flt
more overpowered on any occasion. He accepted the
testimonial as a pledge of their friendship and confidence,
and hoped they would long continue to act together as
they had done in their exertions for carrying out the ob-
ject they sought to sccomplLh. Mr. Flower then pro-
pcsed the health of the chairman, whom he complimented
in high terms for his zeal and assiduity in the came they
had so much at heart. He (the chairman) had worked
day and night, and had also made great sacrifices;—he
had, in fact, acted in a mai,ner which did him infinite
credit, and had been one of the first members of the
Association. The chairman briefly replied. After some
further speeches and sentiments had been given and re-
ap( nded to, the meeting separated, highly pleased with
the proceedings and enjoyments of the evening.
THE POLKA.—" What is the Polka ?" We have heard
asked a thousand times within the last few months; and
very few to whom it was addressed have been able to
answer it. All may now find an answer in Mr. C. Mitch-
ell's new edition of " The Guide to the Ball-room." To
that before popular work, the enterprising publisher has
added an " ILLUSTRATED POLKA LESSON_
BOOK," in which we find the best account of the dance
we have met with, and a complete code of instruction for
dancing it, the different positions being shown by we'll ex-
ecuted engravings. So necessary an accontplishment lass
dancing the Polka ',emcee, that we may anticipate every
attendant of the Ball-room will find Mr. C. Mitchell's
" Guide " indiaptnsoble. The Polka was originally a
-War-dance. " Polk "or " Pulk," we are told, in a well
written account of the origin of the Polka, prefixed to the
" Lesson-book," is the name of a regiment of Cossacks,
and is an old Scythian word, originally applied to a tribe.
It therefere, included both the male and the female mem-
bers of a nomadic horde. This derivation accounts there-
fore for those remarkable features of the Polka, which
distinguish it from every other dance. The spurs, the
tapping of the ground with the heel, flourishing a battle-
axe in the air, and other gestures of a warlike nature, are
all the accompaniments of the Polka, when danced by the
Set vitals, among whom it was first observed: though,
subsequently. inquiries have found it equally practised in
Hungary and Bohemia. It is also danced in Russia, and
all parts of Germany ; and by its introduction in the
Ball-room, having been divested of its ruder and more
boisterous characteristics, but retaining all its original
spirit, activity, variety, and grace, no wonder that it has
become popt la It has every pro-pect of maintaining
that popularity, and we recommend • The Guide" to all
our readers who wish to learn it. The work forms a per-
fect compendium of the Etiquette of Dancing, with the
Figures of all the Quadrilles, Gallopades, Mazourkas,
Polonsises, Polkas, &c. &c.

CAUTION TO BOYS FISHING IN THE DOCKS.—On
Wednesday a boy, named Sefton, whilst amusing himself
with fishing in the 'Waterloo Dock, fell in, and, but for
the prompt exertions or a seaman, ❑amed Milton, must
hare been drowned.—On the same day, a boy, named
O'Neil. whilst crossing from one vessel to another in the
Trafalgar Dock, fell into the deck, but was promptly res-
cued by some men who were standing on the quay.

- -
THE "IRON DUKE."—The steamer Iron Duke,
since the collision with the Parana, has been repaired,
and resumt d her usual place as a mail packet upon the
station, between Dublin and. Liverpool.—We may men-
tion that the City of Dublin Steam Packet Compmv (to
whom the Iron Duke belongs) have contributed .1:59 to
the fund for the relief of the families or the unfortunate
men who were lost from the Parana. Messrs. Chapman
and Callis, owners of the vessel, have subscribed £3O;
the Mayor £5; and several other gentlemen sums of
equal amount. The present amount of the subscriptions
is £l2O.

THE FORGERY OF POST-OFFICE MONEY-ORDERs-
On Friday, Thomas Edwards was again placed at the
bar, and further evidence was produced against him.
Mr. James Mannering Smith said he had been in part-
nership with the prisoner under the firm of " Smith and
Edwards," and upon bearing of this charge he asked the
prisoner about it. The answer he received was, "
don't ask me: I don't know what tempted me 0-do it,"
or words to that effect. Upon that ti;e partnership wai
dissolved. On the' application of Mr. Davenport the
prisoner was remanded for a week, in or,:er that some
evidence may be produced on his behalf.

THE SWELL MOB AT THE COLLEGIATE INSTITUTION.
—The crowded audiences .at the Collegiate Institution, du-
ring the delivery of Mr. Kemple s lectures, have afforded
considerable facility to the members of the Swell Mob
now in Liverpool, and they have not been at all inert, as
many persons to their cost well know. In order to c'!eck
their proceedings, officer Bates was directed to he in at-
tendance on Tut sdav evening last, in plain clothes, and as
the audience were retiring, he observed a notorious brothel
keeper, mined John Yates, dressed in a superfine cloak,
strutting up and down stairs, as the officer sa'd, "like
Napoleon." Several in the same line of hosinrss were in
company, and thee followed closely a well-known being,
the most expert thief in the town, who walked closely
after the crowd of ladies, as they descended the staircase.
When the party reached the bottom landing, their practice
was to retrace their steps, and again follow another crowd.
Yates was of course taken into custody, but the others
took the hint anti made off. Mr. Rushton sent Yates to
gaol for three months.
FALLING OF A WAREHOUSE IN LANCASTER.—Be-
tween one and two o'clock on the mornii-g of Tuesday
last, the inhabitants of George's-quay, Lancaster, -were
awakened and alarmed by a loud crashing.sound, which
made them suppose their houses were turtoding. A police
on duty near the Custom-house, whilst •iniiking has way
to the spot whence he thought it emanated, was called to
from the window of nn adjoining house by a person who
cried " There were thieves breaking into the next ware-
house." lie answered, " No! if it be from the warehouse
an explosion has taken place." The inhabitants ran nut
in afright, and it was discovered that the whole of a lsrge
beam at the south end of the bonded warehouse No. 10,
on the quay, and which is four stories high, had f 41.11 in
from the top story, through every floor, into the cellar.
Those who lived in the cottages 'and houses abutting on
the warehouse were much alarmed lest the whole building
would fall and bury their dwellings in ruins. • The top
stories were filled with wheat, and these beneath with
runt, sugar, wine, and other bonded articles. Luckily.
the portion that came down fell inwards, leaving the out-
ward walls uninjured. Some large stones fell upon an
outhouse and dashed in the roof. The upper floor was,
it appears, loaded with wheat in bulk ; and three puncheons
of rum were stored in, also two pipes of wine, the con-
tents flooding the cellar. E!ght loads of the wheat were
lowered during the day to the story-below, and the floors
propped throughout. No lives were lost ; but a set of
brutal fellows lay down and drank the rum from the
cellar floor until a disgraceful scene of drunkenness en-
sued, several lives being only saved by great exertions
and the use of the stomach pump. The estimated loss of
property is from £3OO to £4OO.
DOCK COMMITTEE—THURSDAY.—Present, Messrs.
Moore, (in the chair,) Nicol. Holt. Holmes, Middleton,
Chilton, Smith, Trotman, Bulky, Troia, and -Boa—
Upon the recommendation of the Marine Sub-Committee,
a representation was directed to be made to the Trinity
Board to the effect that it would be useful to place a buoy
on the north-east projection of the n iddle ',such near
Ch-ster-bar.—The receipts of dock and light dues open
vessels entering the port of Runcorn for tine month end-
ing for the 24th instant, was stated as• follows :—Vessels
220. tons 11,091 ; receipts £57 18s., being an increase of
£8 13s. 41 as compared with the corresponding period of
last year.—A resolution passed by the chairman of the
county quarter sessions of Chester, the Mayor, and tan
chairman of the Dock Committee was read. It appears
that by the 106th section of the 2d of Victoria the dock
and light rates of the harbour of Liverpool must be re-
vised and settled by the parties above mentioned every
three yeara: • Accordingly they assembled in the Town-
hall on Monday last, and passed the resolution read,
which was to the effect that the full amount of the rates
specified in the schedule of the Dock Acts should be ,
charged for a further period of three years.—The Chair- I
man, Deputy-chairman, and Mr. Middleton were ap-
pointed to confer with the Board of Ordnance, as to a
sire for the new battery, a communication having been
made to the Dock Trust that the Finance Committee had ,
directed the Town Clerk to communicate to the Board of
Ordnance the trans-er of the property at the north t-,-) the
Duck Trustees. On the application of Wood and Ilitson,
the Sub-Committee of Works were authorized to come
the shed on the south-west end of George's Dock to to
boarded up.—An applicatiop was read from Brownhill
and C 0., requesting that, as they hid received notice to
quit the yard occupied by them tor the recepiion:of cop-
per ore, they might be provided with another suitable site
upon which they could carry on their trade. The Cha!r-
tran said this was a most important matter to the docks
of Liverpool, for they were actually bringing Swansea to
Liverpool. and the does for this branch of trade were al-
ready £3OO per annum, and were increasing every year.
A letter front Thomas Burton, ,iateman of the Brunswick
Dock, complaining of an assault by the captain of the flat
Augusta, was referred to the harbaur master's sub-corn-
mittee.—Tbe Solicitor reported that the claim of Eflsn
Brew, made in her letter of last week, had no foun-
dation either in law or equity, and it was ordered that the
applicant should see the opinion it she wished it.—The
reports of the Parliamentary Sub-Committee were pro-.
duced. The Chairman said it might he necessary to state
the reason why these reports were not presented earlier.
Therewas one portion still wanting of the evidence, which
it was expected they would have been able to lay before
them before that time, but as the next Council meeting
was the last for the year at which the proceedings could
be taken into consideration, it became absolutely neces-
sary to wait to longer, hut let the report as it was come
before them. As solo as completed, the remainder of the
evidence would be submitted to them.—The secretary
then read a long detail of the steps taken by the comrnit-
tr to forward the new dock bill, the particulars of which
are already familiar to our readers, and with respect to
the opposition to the hill in the Lords, the repot t said it
had been carried on principally by a member of the Dock
Committee and the Council, ,or the purpose of getting
clauses inserted for the erection of warehouses on the
dock quays. Such opposition had caused great delay anti
expense in obtaining the bill. The Secretary next read
the report of the Parliamentary Sub-committee of their
proceedings in opposition to the plan for the erection of
docks at Wallasey Pool. The Committee, in their report,
expressed an opinion that after the engineering evidence
had been perused, every candid and unprejudiced mind
would feel that they were justified in taking the steps they
had with regard to the scheme for the erection of ducks
on the other side of the water.

THE COURT (3• FASHIONABLE WORLD.

HER MAJESTY IN SCOTLAND.

On Saturday week her Majesty confined her excursions
to the grounds of the Castle and -Glen Tilt. In the
afternocn when the royal party arrived at a place called
Lochlass, the Queen mounted her pony and, attended by
the guide, ascended a high hill, and returned to the
Castle about seven o'clock. The rambles up the hills
seem to be the favorite amusement of the Queen. Tney
certainly afford en exciting relief to tie monotony of the
place. lied I et Majesty teen bred and born a Innunr,l-
neer, she could not enter upon them with more spiel`.
Wra,ped in her plain shepherd's plaid, and equipped like
a Highland gude wife on he- mountain pony, she lea,!.:
all state and ceremony hehind her to treat he the pure air
of the hills, and view from a 'vantago ground the splen-
did pr.:spects which spread themselves on every side.
Nor is it at all holiday works ascending these hills. On
some there are winding pathways, but +he Queen generally
takes the more direct, and therefore the more difficult
road, and makes a way for herself, usually the more
liked for being the shortest, notwithstauding that it often
requires good horsemanship to keep the saddle at all.
Some of the hills are nearly precipitous, but a sure-
footed pony, a cautious guide, and a fearless rider, over-
come all difficulties. Her Majesty seems resolved to
" rough it" when she goes on these rambles, adopting,
without show or affectation, the manners of the country.
The exploits and proceedings of the Royal personages
seldom escape magnifying in the telling, but it is no flat-
tery to say there are very few of the ladies of the country
around who would undertake or could go through what
are the daily recreations of the Queen here.
On Sunday the royal party again attended Blair Athol!
Church which was crowded to excess. The Rev. Dr.
M'Leod officiated. On her Majesty entering the church
there was a general rising of the congregation, especially
in the gallery—not so much out of respect as from a wish
to see the Queen—a piece of indecorum which was re-
buked by the hushing of the better disposed portion of
the congregation. Her Majesty was dressed as usual it)
mourning, with a white crape bonnet and tartan scarf
over her shoulders; which. on entering the church she
threw off. Seon after her Majesty's entrance, Dr.
M'Leod en'ered the pulpit, and after the usual devotional
exercises, he preached from Titus, chap. ii. verses 11-14.
The sermon was distinguished by eloquence and fervour,
and was an able defence of the Calvinistic doctrine of the
free grace of rod in man's salvation, producing holiness
of heart and life. It was listened to throughout with
marked attention. In his concluding prayer, he offi red
up fervent petitions for the long life and happiness of the
Queen, her Royal Consort, and the rust of the Royal
family, which was earnestly responded 1 by all presunt.
The English portion of the services lasted little more
than an hour and a half, after which the Royal party and
the greater part of the congregation left, while the native
portion of the congregation remained to bear the Gaelic
service. In the evening the Rev. Doctor, who, it may be
noticed, is one of her Majetty's chaplains, joined the
Royal circle at dinner.
On Monday she kept Within the grounds. In the morn-

ing Prince Albert shot a stag frOM his bed-room window.
The poor creature was not Killed by the shot, but sta.:-
gered on f; 'r a few seconds. Lord Glen'yon tried his
hand at finiAline the murder, but three times missed h's
mark, upon which the Prince sent another bullet, by
which the feat was accomplished ! In the afternoon her
Majesty again mounted her Highland pony, and. accom-
panied by Lord Glen!won, ascended at hill at the rack of
the Castle, from which she might make observations of the
eronse shooting, as carried on below by Prince Albert.
The Prince brought down several brace.

- -
g days her Majesty took.
On Tuesday and the followin
her usual walks end drives. The weather Las been get_
tint extremely c4l. but her Najesty tikes a quantity of
bodily exercise that astotishei the persons who are abort
her.

Lotto Gr.urct.Yori.—lt is not perhaps generally known
that Lord Gl,nlvon, the heir presumptive to the Dukedom
of Athol and mikes t't the Dnke of Northumberland,
who lies Oven the use of Wait-. Castle to her Mjes!y, is
the great grandson of Lieutenant-Gerieral Lord George
Murray, who commanded the rebel army under Prir-Ce
Charles Edward Stuart. during nearly the whole of the
rebellion in the year 1745. until the battle of CullOden
gave the death blow to the hopes of the unfortunate house
of Stuart. Lord George was obli2ed to flee to France,
and died under attainder and in exile, during the whole
of which he experienced the most unmerited malignant
hostility from Charles Edward, but he enjoyed the friend-
ship of the Cheval.er St. George up to the death of his
uncle the then Duke of Athol, without issue, the son of
Lord George Murray became Duke of Athol, and from
whom is descended the present Lord Glenlyon, who has
now the honor of accommodating a Sovereign of the
-Hoare of Brunswick at the ancient feudal residence of the
Athol family, and in the very cent re of a district whose
former inhabitants, the numerous clansmen of the " M ur-
rays of Athol," almost to a man, folb,wed Lord George
Murray to the field to support the claims of the exiled
family of the Stuarts to the throne of these realms.

THE QUEEN'S CownEscENsioN.—To show tl e Com-
plete freedom from all Court formality which her Maj.'s-
ti has been enabled to establish in her Hig land home,
various little incidents which are almost daily occurring
might be mentioned. One morning, about seven oclock,
a lady plainly dressed, lett the Castle, w lin, though a b.
served by the Highland Guard on duty, was allowed to
pass unnoticed, until after she had proceeded a consider•
able distance; when some one di,co‘e ed it was the
Queen, a p;:ry of the Highlanders immediately turned
out as a loyal Body Guard. Hi r Majesty, however,
signified her wish to dispense viiih their services, and they
all returned to their stations. The Queen in the mean-
while moved onwards through the Castle grounds alone,
until she reached the Lodge, the temporary residence of
Lord and Lady Glenlyon, where, upon calling, she was
informed that his lordship had not yet risen. The sur-
prise of the domestics may be conceived when her Ma-
jesty announced who was to be intimated .s having called
on his Lordship. On her return,'hei Majesty having
taken a dlferent route, and finding herself bewildered by
the vari,,tts folds which intersect the pounds in every
direction, applied to some reapers whom she met to di-
rect her to the Castle by the nearest way. They, not
being aware to whom they spoke, immediately did so, by
directing her Majesty across one of the parks, and over a '
palling which lay before her, and which she at once pas-
sed and reached the Cawle, a good d al amused, no doubt,
with her morning's excursion—On anuther occasion, the
Queen and Lady Glenlyon having extended their walks
a considerable distance up Glen Tilt, entered one of the
gamekeeper's coltaes, where they found no person but
the gamekeeper's wife, he being himself .on the bill with
the Prince. They entered into conversation with the
woman, and were soon furnished with a full account of all
her little family arrangements:, and also presented with a
draught of gnat's milk. On their l,aring, she expressed
her regiet, in a very homely way, that she d:d not !lawn
to have any better fare to offer the ladies. It was only in
the evening, on her husband's return, that she disenv,!red
who had been her guests in the Morning.— Glasgow
