bent has mustered, the precise number cannot be ascer-
tained. The 4th Royal Lancashire Regiment are to

enthusiasm has been manifested by the militia, both
officers and men, throughout the country, to enter upon
active duty. . .

LITERdBY AND PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY
meeting of this society, on 'Monday last, Dr. Dickenson
the chairman, feelingly alluded to the loss sustained b 3
the society in the death of Professsor Forbes, who was for
a long time a corresponding member of the society. Dr.
14me communicated to the society the intelligence that
Professor Warsaae, of Copenhagen, had written and pub-
Oished a description, in Danish, of the antiquities in the
fltoYal Museum at Copenhagen. He said it was a beauti-
iP book, and brought the subject of archaeology before
the reader in a very systematic way. Dr. Thomson
announced the receipt of a report of the council, and an
"stract of the expenditure of the Historic Society of Lan-
cashire and Cheshire. Dr. Ihne then read a paper, in
continuation of one read at the last meeting, On the
4'esources of Russia."

Ms• BRIGHT .AND THE MANCHESTER MEN.—The fol-
-41,111g notification has been widely placarded in the city
Manchester :—" Whereas, there has lately been pub-
tlBlled on the walls of this city several infamous and
Zacherous placards, which are both insulting and de-
,,aling to every true Englishman ; and from information
e'e"-,ed, these publications have emanated from a Bright
te'Y of buttonless, broad-brimmed, unbaptised, and
artless humbugs, who are trying to create disaffection
nod discontent amongst Her Majesty's loyal subjects ;
if It, this is to give notice to all these paltry traitors, that
a ,4•115' more of these infamous and lying placards ever
41,11 disgrace the walls of the city of Manchester, the
tec,°,e fraternity of such impostors must be prepared to
oF•elye the punishment they so justly deserve at the hands
insulted Englishmen."

a 4... DANGERS OF GlN.—Mrs. Williams, a decently-
tLgred woman, was, on Friday, charged before the magis-
vi:ate% by Mrs. Blair, with robbing the latter of her shawl,
41aetorine, and umbrella. They were old neighbours, and,
do„Itllg met very late one cold night, near the inviting
th,„:'r,of a public-house, they entered in company with a
ex,u female, and were treated to gin, at the prosecutrix's
nse- After talking over family matters, and rubbing
old recollections for some little time, another triplet of
14Fins" was ordered. Mrs. Blair, who confessed to having
er,eliously imbibed a glass of ale, then began to feel ex-
4e'ungly unwell. It would appear that her illness
thlllnled the character of great intoxication, and while in
Vs condition, sitting upon a stone, she stated that Mrs.
af,illiams and the other woman (who were ostensibly
—e°llManing her home) stripped her of her garments and
ode off. On the other hand, the charge was indignantly
%tilled by Mrs. Williams, who said she had never volun-
e'tered to take Mrs. Blair home that Mrs. Blair was very
dhink, and that, doubtless, while in that state, she had
been
despoiled. The magistrate dismissed the case, much
to the disgust of Mrs. Blair, who vowed that she would
have a " police" and search the house of Mrs. Willi
