Language, led to the projection of The Imperial Dictionary, j which is intended to supply a desideiatum at piesent much felt 3 by the reading community, namely a Word-book, containing j all the terms commonly in use. Generally speaking, the lmpe- | rial Dictionary aims at containing all purely English words, and all words not English in ordinary use, together with the princi- pal technical and scientific terms, and such as are to be met with in works not purely scientific. More particularly this Dictionary lias for its object- 1. To comprehend all the words contained in Johnson's Dic- tionary, with the additions of Todd and Webster, and .vords selecled flom the othtrstandani Dictionaries and Kucyclopaedias, together with many thousand words and terms in modern use, <1 Dot included in any former Er.li^!i Dictionary, i 2.

By the assistance of Diagrams and Engravings of Wood to furnish clearer ideas of various subjects and objects, and of the signification of various terms, than could be conveyed by mere si, verbal description. This feature of the work is very important from the difficulty which frequently occurs of conveying a clear idea of the form, appearance, ike., of an object by a nieie des- cription in words. Terms in Architecture, Botany, Heraldry, Mechanics, &.c., are frequently only to be understood by the aid of an engraving, conveying a precise idea of the thing defined. Besides the mere illustration of terms, there have been intro- duced representations of the principal plants used in the arts, and in medicine, of interesting animals, copies of many Mytho- logical figures from celebrated sculptures and paintings, and a variety of other illustrations tending to please, while they also instruct. 1 AGENT—W.

WILLIAMS & CO., Beachley, Dec. 15, 1847. Proprietors. THE POPULAR MEDICINE. THE following important testimony to the efficacy of Parrs Life Pills, has just been received by the Proprietors. To Messrs. T. Roberts and Co., London. Athlone, Dec. 7th, 1846. Sir,—You will please to send me Six Dozen more Pair's Life Pills; I am just out. They are taking well, and I can assure you they are doing an immensity of good; every one who has them in affec:ions of the liver and the stomach derives a great deal of benefit. Yours, &c. WILLIAM GILCHRIST, Apothecary and Surpeon. No medicine yet offered to the worid ever so rapidly attained such distinguished celebrity it is questionable if there be now any part of the civilized globe where its extraordinary virtues have not been exhibited. This signal success is not attributable to any system of advertising, but solely to the s'rong recom- mendations of parties cured by their use. The Proprietors of Parr's Life Pills have now in their possession upwards of TWELVE HUNDRED LETTERS, several of them from Clergymen of the Church of England, many from distinguished Dissenting Ministers, from gentlemen connected with the army and navy, also from Members of Parliament, Merchants, and last, though not least, from Members of the Medical Profession, and a skilful Analytical Chemist: all speaking in the highest terms of the value of tiiis inestimable medicine. This is a mass of evidence in its favour beyond all parallel. The extraordinary properties of this medicine are thus de- scribed by an excellent physician, who sa; s—" After particular observation of the action of Pan's Life Pills, I am determined in my opinion, that the following are their true properties :— Firstly—They increase the strength, whilst most other medi- cines have a weakening effect upon the system. Let anyone take from three to tour or six pills every twenty-four hours, and, in- stead of having weakened, they will be found to have levived the animal spirits, and to have imparted a lasting strength to the body. O. Secondly-In their operation they go direct to the disease. After you have taken six or twelve pills you will experience their effect; the disease upon you will become less end less by every dose you take, and it you will persevere iu regularly taking from three to six pills every day, your disease will be entirely removed from the system. Thirdly—They are found, upon giving them a fair trial for a few weeks, to possess the most astonishing and invigorating pro- perties, and they will overcome all ol)stinatecor)iplitints, and restore sound health there is a return of good appeiiie shortly from the beginning of their use, whilst their mildness as a pur- gative is a desideratum greatly required by the weak and delicate, particularly where violent purging is acknowledged to be injurious ins'ead of beneficial. "Fourthly—As a general Family Medicine they are exceed- ingly valuable, and no family should be without them, for they ) may be used with perfect safety in any disease, for to every dis- ease they are of inestimable value. John Dale, Esq., of Man- chester, Lecturer on Chemistry, and pupil of the celebrated J Jr. Dalton, F.RS., in a letter addressed to the Proprietor, in London, says—' I beg to state I find them worthy of being recommended to the public foi their efficacy and simplicity, and to be really vegetable pills, containing, as they ùo, nothing out what is 01 vegetable ofigin.' With this assurance the public need have no fear of giving them a fair trial. Fifthly—there is no medicine ever introduced to the public that has become so universally popular with females as Parr's Life Pills. For all complaints peculiar to females, they are of the most astonishing efficacy and they are confidently recom- mended to them for their general use. A trial of a box of these pills will at once prove the truth of this assertion. Bewar.e of spurious imitations of the above medicine. None are genuine, unless the words PARR'S LIFE PILLS are in WHITE LETTERS ON A RED GROUND, engraved on the Government Stamp, pasted round each box also the lac-simile of the signature of the pioprietors, "T.

AND IMPEDIMENTS TO MARRIAGE, THE SILENT FRIEND, A New Edition, enlarged to 196 pages, price 2s. 6d., In order to ensure secresy, and punctuality in delivery, the work will be sent direct from the Establishment, free to any part of the kingdom, in a sealed envelope, on the receipt of 3s. 6d. in postage stamps. fTlHE Silent Friend is a Medical Work written in language, j[ devoid of professional technicalities, on the Physical Dis- qU31ifications affecting the geneiative system in both sexes It contains an elaborate and carefully-written account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Organs in Man which are directly and indirectly concerned in the function of generation, (illustrated by coloured engravings,) and the Causes and Con- sequences resulting from the baneful practice by which the Vigour and Manliness of Life are enervated and destroyed, even before nature has fully established the powers and stamina of the constitution. Local and General Debility, Nervous Irrita- bility and Excitement, Consumption, Indigestion of the most Fearful and Exhausting Kind, Intense Melancholy and Depres- sion of the Spirits, and Partial or Complete Extinction of the Reproductive Powers, &c., are thus produced. In the Silent Friend, the chapter devoted to the consideration of these dread- ful complaints contains also an account of the Means by which they may be Prevented and Removed, so as to restore the suf- ferer to the full enjoyment of Health and the Functions of Manhood. The consequences resulting from veneral contamination are p next pointed out, and the nature and character of Gonorrhoea Gleet, Stricture, and Secondary Symptoms of every kind are cleanly explained, with directions for cure. Their dangerous effects on the human economy are sufficiently dilated on and a Means is also indicated by which the Recurrence of these Diseases may in every instance be Completely Prevented. The work terminates with a chapter on the Obligations of Marriage the physical impediments which tend to disqualify the candidate for that holy state, and the directions necessary fortheir removal The work is illustrated by the detail of cases, and by twenty- six coloured engravings on steel, thus rendering it what its name purports it to be, the true but silent friead to all suffering from the consequences of early error and vice,—a work which may be consulted without exposure, and with every assurance of com- plete success and benefit.

Part the First Of this work is dedicated to the consideration of.the Anatomy and Physiology* of the generative functions. It embraces a succinct account of all the organs in man which are engaged in the important function of the reproduction of the species, and the mode in which self-abuse operates to the injury of the human frame, and the destruction of the special and vital powers. This is illustrated by six coloured engravings. Part the Second Treats of the infirmities and decay of the system produced by over indulgenceof the passions. The existence of nervous and sexual debility and incapacity, with their accompanying train of symptoms and disorders, are treated by the chain of connecting results to this cause. This section is illustrated by three coloured engravings, which fully display the effents of physical decay. Part the Third Contains an accurate description of the diseases caused by in- fection, and by the abuse of mercury primary and secondary symptions. erruptions of the skin, sore thioat, inlfamation of the eyes, disease of the bones, gonorrhoea, gleet, stricture, &c., are shown to depend on this cause. Advice for the treatment of all these diseases and their consequences is tendered in this section, which, if duly followed up, cannot fail in effeciing a cure. The part is illustrated by seventeen coloured engravings. Fart the Fourth. The preceding part having been devoted to the consideration of the n,aladies resulting from contamination and its conse- quences, next follows an account of the means by which such dreadful maladies may be prevented. This may be effected by the use of a lotion, which is strongly recommended as the only agent by which such an effect can be produced. Its action is immediate and certain, by reason of its chemical influence. Part the Fifth Treats of Marriage, its obligations and disqualiifcations. The causes which lead to happiness in the marriage state are dwelt upon, and those which are indicative of misery and domestic inquietude. The nature, origin, and treatment of physical dis- qualifications are also described, and remedies for this state form an important consideration is this section of the work. The diffidence and distrust which are among the natural con- sequences of these affections, frequently prevents persons from applying for assistance until great, although not perhaps irre- mediable mischief has been inflicted on the constitution and powers of life. It is to be hoped that the perusal of this work will teach ruch persons the injurious consequences of delay, and lead them at once to seek that advice and counsel by which alone they could be saved from the horrors of an existence pro- tracted amidst long enduring wretchedness, both of mind and body. THE CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM Is rxpressly employed to renovate the impaired powers of life, when exhausted by the influence exerted by solitary indnlgence on the system. Its action is purely balsamic its power in reinvigorating the frame in all cases of nervous and sexual debility, obstinate gleets, impotency, barrenness, and debilities arising from venerea) excesses, his been demonstrated by its unvarying success in thousands of cases. To those persons who are prevented entering the married state by the consequences of early errors, it is invaluable. Price, lis. per boitie, or four quantit es in one. for 33s.

These Pills, each box of which is accompanied with explicit directions, are well known throughout Europe to be the most certain and effectual remedy ever discovered for gonorrhoea, both in its mild and aggravated forms. They immediately allay the Itlfhmation by their specific influence on the urethra, and arrest the future progress of the disease. PERRY'S PREVENTATIVE LOTION, Price 33s., or in £ o. cases. The deplorable consequences and the many horrible diseases which result from gonorrhoea, syphillis, &c., have no doubt a velY ureat influence on men, and drive them to the commission of offences which are contrary to law, morals, and the well-being of society. A certain preventative haslong heen a desideratum, and this the Messrs. Perry are now enabled to offer in their Lotion used in accordance with the printtd directions, it affords a safeguard against the approach of disease. Its action is simple, but sure it combines with the virus chemically, and destroys its power on the system, so that there cannot be any chance of disease, when it has been once employed. In all cases of consultation by letter, the usual fee of one pound must be forwarded, either by post-officeorder, orotherwise.

The numberless instances daily occurring, wherein affec- tions oi the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of con- sumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful habits, fully proves that the principle of the division of I abour is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice.

Unquestionably this is a most extraordinary and skilful work, and ought to be extensively circulated, for it is quite evident that there are peculiar habits acquired at public schools and private seminaries, which are totally unknown and con- cealed from the conductors of those establishments, and which cannot be too strongly rebrobated and condemned. The engrav- ings that accompany the work are clear and explanatory and being written by a duly qualified medical practitionar' will doubtless be the means of saving many a youth, as well as those of maturer age, from the various evil consequences resulting from early ind,scretions.Magnet, Published by the Author, and may be had at his residence- also from S.

The authors of this valuable work have taken a very comprehensive view of the evils arising from certain pernicious habits contracted by the young people, also of complaints which are, we fear, too much neglected by the general practitioner. The mode of treatment and cure isclearlv defined in this work, which cannot fail to be read with peculiar interest by those to whom it is more particularly addressed. It will prove an excellent Companion to those suffering from indiscretion and the efiect of excess.—Era.

"SIR, With much pleasure I acquaint you with the benefit that 1 have denved by taking Blair's Pills. On my journey five weeks' since, while at Chepstow, I had distressing symptoms of an attack of Gout in one foot, and with the utmost difficulty reached Bristol. By this time the disease had so much increased that I could not place my foot on the floor, the swelling being extensive and the pain excruciating. Hanng often heard of Biair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills. I im- mediately sent to Messrs. Fenis and Score, Chemists, Bristol, for a box, which when I had taken, the pain had wholly subsided. I continaed the Pills until I had taken two-and-a-half boxes more, when to my gratification I was perfectly restored to health, and able to resume my journey. 1 lespecifully assure you tnat I shall recommend this valu- able medicine to the fullest extent in my power, and never while travelling shaH I in future be without it. During my illness, my residence was at Mrs. Slocombe's, Grevhound inn, Broadmead, Bristol, whose family, if requisite, will confirm the facts 1 have stated. "1 forward my case to you for publication, that the afflicted may be assured of and obtain relief. "I am, Sir, you-s respectfully, "THOMAS YATES. "Traveller to Messrs.

Gentlemen —t beg to state I have met with several cases where your Royal Bath Plasters have been very beneficial to the parties making use of them. In shortness of breath and asthma much benefit has been obtained by giving freedom to breathing; also in a case of bad cough, the greatest ease has been given and to children, inmost cases aflecting the chest and lungs, the Plasters have proved the finest protectors imagi- nabie.

Owen Thomas, YVesleyan Minister. Hoh'head. October 9, 1845. Dear Sir,—Dr. Locock's Wafers do a g*eat > eal of good to mv voice. I got a bad cold from a damp bed, about 35 years ago, and my voice was very bad ever since being great pain to me when preaching or singing—and I am very fond of singing. I used many differen: medicines, and some of them do good for a little time, but Dr. Locock's is the best of all-it cleais my voice and stops the coughing instantly. I have never found anything yet to compare to them. I have been 33 years a Wesleyan Preacher, and all the Wes- leyan Methodists in the Principality know me, (20 years of which I have lived in Holyhead), and t am known personally to all the first men of that body, many of whom have admired the effects of the wafers in clearing the voice, and stopping the cough-they never got such a medicine before. My w Ile ever since Christmas, has been very well, after taking two boxes. I am a witness of their power to s;op a frightful fit of coughing in an instant. I, as a VVesleyan Preacher, call upon all preachers and singers of every denomination to take these wafers for improving the voice, and curing coughs. You may publish my testimonial for these excellent wafers, if you wish.-I am, yours truly, OWEN I HOMAS, Wesleyan Minister. ANOTHER CURE OF TWENTY Y. AHS' ASTHM*. Extract of a letter from M.

.. HOUSE OF LORDS.
HOUSE OF LORDS. THURSDAY, DEC. 16. IRISH COERCION BILL The committee on this Hill was moved by the Marquess of Lansdowne a long discussion ensued. in which the ooly objec- tion iotimated was, that the bill does not go far enough. The bill passed through committee unanimously. FRIDAY, DEC. 17. The Marquess of Londonderry asked the Marquess of Lans- downe whether the documents which had been puubliihed in the Times, as having paMtd between Lord John Russell and certain of the bishops, in the matter of Dr. Hampden's appointment, were authentic and official; and whether it was the intention of the government 10 hurry on that appointment before the question had been discussed In one or other House of Parliament'} The Marquess of Lansdowne believed the documents were authentic. though they could scarcely bs called official. As for the determination of the government to persevere in Dr. Hamp- den's appointment, the best answer to the noble marques* was to be found in the Gazette, which contained the notice of the issuing of the conge d'tlire. The Bishop of Rochester expressed his deep regret at the de- termination of the government to elevate Dr. Hampden to the episcopal bench. He believed that reverend gentlemf o to be a very estimable person, but the erroneous opinions entertained bv him ought to be a bar to his being made a bishop. He would only add, that in the event of any legal objection being made at Dr. Hampden's consecration, he would be no party to the cere- mony. The Irish Crime and Outrage Bill was then read a third time and passed, after a short discussion. The Railways Bill was also read a third time, and passed. MONDAY, DEC. 20. The royal assent was given by commission to the Crime and Outrage (Ireland) Bill. The house then adjourned to the 3rd of February.
-0 HOUSE OF COMMONS.
-0 HOUSE OF COMMONS. THURSDAY, DEC. 16. CHURCH-RATES. Lord J. Russell (in reply to Col. Salwey), said it was not the intennon of the government to introduce any measure relative to church-rates. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) JEWISH DISABILITIES. Lord J. Russell moved that the house resolve itself into a committee to consider the disabilities affecting the Jews with a view to their removal. The noble lord contended that the loyal and peaceable character of the Jews in Great Britain entitles them to the abrogation of the laws which deprived them of the privilege of sitting in parliament. Of late years, said the noble lord, a Jew has been a magistrate, a Jew has been a sheriff. (Hear, hear.) By a late law, proposed by the right hOD- gentle- man opposite, the member for Tamworth, when he was in office, the Jews can now hold offices in corporations and it is but the other day that, by the consent of his fellow-citizens, a Jew was raised to the office of alderman in the city of London. (Cheers.) Now, I ask, what right have you to interpret prophecy so as to draw that line between an alderman and a member of the legisla- ture—between the right to hold her Majesty's commission as a justice of the peace, and the right to hold a seat in parliament as a member of the legislature? Whoenabted or authorised you to say that that was the line inteuded by prophecy, aod that you can take npon yourselves to define it, and to limit the line which the Almighty has intended to be drawn ? (Cheers). That in- deed would be to Strike from His hands the balance and the rod Rejudge his justice be the God of God." (Cheers.) I trust, sir, that no such presumption will fall to our lot; but that we shall do that which we think it oar duty to onr fellow-countrymen, that which we think is best for the country, according to our imperfect aciions, and that we shall rest in pious humble confidence that the Almighty will accomplish. his purpose by means best known to himself. (Cheers.) Sir R. Inglis opposed the motion, arguing that such a measure ought not to be adopted by a Christian legislatute. He called upon the house, by every consideration of duty and interest he called upon it in the name of their common CbristiaDifv, to pause before they sanctioned the admission of Jews inio parliament. Mr. W. J. Fox supported the motion. It was not by the en- forcement of opinions, it was not by the putting down of heresies, it was not even in the magnificent attempts after extended prose. lytism, but it was in knocking off the fetters of the slave, in, tespecting the rights of property and of industiy, in measures which, by stimulating a ffeeintercouse between different nations- bound them together in the bends of peace it was not by exciut s on, but by expanding their rights, that they would, as the poes said, vindicate the privilege of England, to teach the nation I how to live." The hon. gentleman concluded, amidst lou cheers, by thanking the house for the attention with which it ha heard him. Lord Ashley would vote against the motion. If they once declared that Christianity was uot essential to the legislative character of that house, from that hour the exclusion of others besides Jews from that house would become a real and substan- tial injustice. Mr. Bankes opposed the measure on the ground that if i om, passed, a Mahomedan or Hindoo, or any infidel who possessed wealth, might be entitled to a seat in a legislature professedly Christian. Mr. Romily supported the motion. Mr. Goulburn said that he looked upon this measure as a ques- tion of a religious nature, and viewing it in this light, he cordially concurred in the sentiments of the learned body he represented that if it were passed into a law, it would be calculated to shock. the religious feeling of the country. (Hear, bear, and loud cries of Divide.' ) «uu cries Mr. Plumptie opposed the motion. Mr. Disraeli supported the motion. The ChrUr,»„ • was, above all others, that which if not J religion Jews would themselves feel most,«,r' ^nnPter,eC",ed, by ,he religion founded by their foref-therc u 0Wf 11 Wa* 3 in.endence by the Jews, and tbe fine'suhatk T 9Uper" and consolations of which were^from .VlhaDksg'v,Df: 81^ Pr,"»e», (Hear hear ) mouths of Jewish poets. On the motion of Mr. Law, the debate was adjourned. The house then, after transacting the other business, adjourned TU W L FRIDAY, DEC. 17. r. Wakley withdrew his motion for a select committee on the conduct of the Earl of Fitzhardinge, in the late election for West Gloucestershire. The adjourned debate on Jewish disabilities was then resumed. After several lion, members had spoken on the subject, Lord John Russell rose to explain the preci-e object of the motion. The resolution which he would propose in committee would be to the following effect:—"That it was expedient to remove all civil disabilities at present existing, and affecting Her Majesty's Jewish subjects, with the like exemptions pro- vided in the case of the subjects of Her Majesty professi ng the Roman Catholic faith." On that resolution the proposed bill would be founded. The House then divided, and the numbers were: For the motion 253 Against it 186 Majority for -67 Leave was then given to bting tn tbe bill. The other orders of the day were afterwards disposed of, and the House adjourned. MONDAY, DEc. 20. Lord John Russell brought in the Jewish Disabilities Bill. It was read a first time and on the motion that it be read a second time on Monday, the 7th of February next, Colonel Sibthorp availed himself of the opportunity to ask wi at regulations Lord John intended to introduce on the subject of the sitting of the h use and of Election and other committees upon Saturdays, in case this bill should be carried ? If a mem- ber failed in his attendance on a call of the house, or if he were an hour too late in his attendance on an Election committee, he "I was liable to be taken into custody, to be fined, and to be sent to the tower. Were Jews to be excused from all these duties on their Sabbath, and were Christian members to be punished for a dereliction of duty, which was to pass scot-free if committed by Jews, Mussulmen, or Pagans? Lnrdjohn Russell said, it it should happen that there should be a call of the house on a Saturday, or that there should be other business of an important character fixed for that day, he thought that the Jewish members would be content to pay the usual penalties for non-attendance. Lord John Russell then moved that the house, on rising, do adjourn to the 3rd of February next. Mr. Spooner regretted that his lordship had moved so long an adjournment, and observed that nothing had yet been done to relieve the general distress of the country. He moved as an amendment, to insert the words, "the 15th of January," ;n the original motion, instead of the words, the 3rd of Febroary. Mr. Newdegate seconded the motion. After a great deal of discussion, in which Mr. Mansell, Mr. Scrope, Lord Lincoln, Mr. HiDdleJ, and others took part, Lord John Russell made a general reply. He said, he could not deny the existence of distress at present in the West of Logtand but every account which he had recently received from that district concurred in slaling that great exertions were now made, and would be continued to be made, by the resident gentry, to relieve the distress by the employment of the people. Before he could hold out to the gentry of Ireland any expectation that aid would be given to them by the imperial parliament, he mnstbave proof. hat every exeriion had been made on their part to carry into effect the provisions of the Irish Poor laws, and to collect the rates payable under them. He intended, immediately after the recess, to bring lorwaid the various measures for the amelioration ot Ireland of which he had given notice. I he amendment was withdrawn, and the original motion earned. The house then adjourned to the 3rd of February.

A CHRISTIAN'S OPINIONS OF…
A CHRISTIAN'S OPINIONS OF THE JEWS. At the Court of Common Council, London, last week, Mr. Deputy Corney, in opposing a motion for the removal of the disabilities of Jews, gave expression to the following very Christian opinions:— From the earliest periods of their history, the Jews were known and acknowledged to be a people possessing no con- sistent political feeing. (A iaugh.) They wete not ad- mirers of tli»aionarchjc»J principle. 10 tact, and there was no use in concealing that fact, money was the element in which they delighted. They had an intuitive fondness for and power of grasping that element, and nothing could check or abate the appetite. (Increased laughter.) Why their lore of money was so gieat, that when Jerusalem was besieged by Titus they swallowed quantities of gold, and the Roman soldiers were actually obliged to rip up their bowels to come at the precious metal. (Roars of laughter, in which the worthy deputy was obliged to join.) He had no objection to see men looking after their own pecuniary interests, but there was nothing to show that the Jews looked after any other interests. (Laughter.) There was nothing to show that they were good, or likely to be good, in the science of legislation, or to entertain respect for legislators, for they kicked against their own. They were, in truth, es- sentially a commercial people. They would sell their own brothers. (Great laughter.) If a question of commerce were to be considered, he admitted that the Jews would be likely to distinguish themselves as capital commissioners; but it was really a serious thing to contemplate a Jewish Legislature; and if one Jew were to get into parliament, he could not see why fifty should notfollow. (Laughter.) Only think of fifty Jews in the House of Commons Why Lord John Russell was prettily bothered to manage fifty of the Irish members; what a condition would his lordship be in if fifty Jews were to be added to the fifty Irish (Great laughter.) There was nothing extravagant in that position. It was very well known that money could effect a great deal upon the legislature of the country. (Cries of Oh, oh," and roars of laughter.) Certainly, he admitted it was con- trarv to law that such was the case, but it was agreeable and congenial to practice, and the Jews knew how to procure that upon which they knew so much depended. The le- gislature of England ought to be constituted of born and bred English, Irish, and Scotch. A Jew had no nation- aitty-a Jew was as much a Pole, or a Russian, or an Asiatic, as an Englishman, and if that people got into paihament, they might, at the sound of the trumpet, scamper off to the promised kiugdom, and leave the parliament to work for itself. (Laughter.) They would sacrifice their seats. and everything but their money, upon hearing the Divine call.

CHILD MURDER.—On Tuesday last a report gained cir- culation at Aldenham, Herts., that a child had been mur- 9 dered by its mother, which unfortunately proved too true. On inquiry, it was found that one of the maid servants of a lady named Gibbs, living at Aldenham-house, had on Mon- day delivered herself, and afterwards destroyed her offspring, and that she was still at the house in the custody of the police. On Thursday an inquest was held, but it is stated that, for the purpose of secrecy, the jury were all selected from the persons who were at work at Aidenham-house, and that to make up the number, the coachman was called from the stable into the servants' hall, where the inquiry was held. Application was made by a reporter to be present, but he was refused admission, with a message directing him "to leave the premises." The jury having heard the evi- dence, returned a verdict of "Wilful murder" against the mother; MURDER AT SHEWSBURY.—Shrewsbury, Friday— Con- siderable excitement has been caused in this district during the past few days, from the cllculation of a report that a boatman, named Thomas liinioti, had been so brutally ill- used by a party 01 navigators, that be shortly afterwards died. The short tacts, as far as they have yet been elicried, were as follow :-The deceased, who was in the employ of Messrs. Whitehouse, the carriers, was standing near the O'd Factory-bndge, when, from some trifling cause, a disturb- ance arose, and after a few angry words the navvies lelt, but shortly afterwards returned, armed with heavy pieces of wood, and having driven off the deceased's companions, they ill-used him most cruelly; one knocked him duwn, ano- ther gave him a blow on the head with an earthenware jug, and a third kicked him in the ribs. They then left him bleeding on the ground. He was taken to an adjoinmg inn, where he died on Monday.

MYSTERIOUS ROBBERY.—On Saturday information was circulated throughout the various divisions of the metropo- litan police, relative to another very mysterious robbery, which took place on the previous evening, at the Padding- ton Railway station. It appears that Mr. Fryer, a part of whose duty it is to pay the men belonging to the locomotive department, left his office, adjacent to the entrance gates, at six o'clock, to go to tea, and on quitting, locked as usual, the ouler door. On his return, after an absence of not more than twelve minutes, he discovered that the office had been entered, no doubt by means of a skeleton key, and that up- wards of £82. in gold and silver, had been stolen trom a drawer, the lock of which had been forced. Information of the robbery was promptly communicated to Mr. Collard, the superintendent of the company's police, who is using his utmost endeavours to trace out the guilty party. ESCAPE OF SEVEN PRISONERS.—On the night of Wed- nesday last, seven male prisoners effected their escape from the gaol at Huntingdon. They were all locked in the cells at the usual time, in one of the most secure wards of tbe goal. Nearly all the locks of the cells had been forcibly opened, the straw beds emptied upon the floor, and the bed. cases applied as a rope, being securely attached to each other by a "sailor's knot," and by which they scaled the boundary wall, first with great force breaking asunder asolid iron bar in the fence of the ward, 11 inches square, and 10 feet long, passing through an area, where a most powerful and fierce watch-dog ranged the interior of the prison.- Cambridge Gazette.

THE THREE COSJ URORS.—At the bottom shaft of the Dolcoath mine (one of the deepest known), Professors Airey, Whewell, and Sedgwick were desirous to try soiae experiments where they could swing the pendulum at a great depth, and also at a considerable elevation, and had their apparatus lowered to the bottom of the shaft, and after spending a portion of two or three days there, it was packed up in an iron bucket or kibble. with shavings, into which a spark from a miner's caodle must have fallen; for, when midway up the shaft, the shavings took fire, the rope was burned, the bucket fell to the bottom, and the apparatus was destroyed. The miners declared that nothing could have burned the rope but the devil, and that the three pro- fessors must be magicians. The day after there was a vio- lent storm, and these miners were overheard saying they were quite sure it was owing to those naen that had been I underground; and one said it must be the httle un (Professot Airey), because he see'd him stand with his back against tbe churchyard! — Mining Journal f FORTUNATE ESCAPE.—As the five o clock tiain from Salisbury was passing over the viaduct near Romsey, on Friday evening, the engineer fancied he heard something drop trom the engine. On arriving at the next station he gave information of his suspicions. Two porters were sent with lanterns, and about midway on the viaduct (which is a quarter of a mile long), two large pieces of iron,sufficient to overthrow any train, were found across the rails. But for this fortunate discovery, the consequences might have been most serious to the mail train, which would have come along the viaduct next. FAITHFUL UNTO DEATDeath of an aged Married Couple.
