SUMMER FLOWERS. i
SUMMER FLOWERS. A Citizen's Lament. A WAY with summer Bowers, Twine not the wreath for me, Unbind the myrtle from the rose, And pansy, emblem of repose, Far let them scattered be The best, the loveliest, let them part, Their very sweetness breaks my heait. Away with summer flowers, Let sunshine cease to glow, Bring back the days of sombre hue, And heav'n without a glimpse of blue, And earth in vest of snow. Then weave the green petfumed bough, 10 fadeless verdure for my brow. To see the length'ning days, To feel the glowing hours, As step by step, the smiling spring Steals on her bright and glorious wing. And strews our path with flow'rs This may be joy, but me it sends Warnings of banishment to friends. Soon as the rose's bloom Breaks up the social tie, And those whom winter gather'd round The cheering hearth, no more are found, But east and west they fly Some roam the mountain, some the deep, But, ah! leave those at home to weep. 'Midst winter's sullen blast, How many a friendly band Cheered the dark moments as they passed, And bid me think they fled too fast While circled hand in hand; But summer breaks the charming spell, And makes me feel 1 lov'd too weH »
YEARNING FOR WONDERLAND.
YEARNING FOR WONDERLAND. Ah that I could wing my way Through earth's valley—deep and dreary- Ah that I could float all day, Pinions never tired or weary, O'er the everlasting hills. And the ever-gushing rills, Where come blight and sorrow never, Ever green, and youthful ever Where Heaven's harmonies resound, Holy peace for ever singing Where light Zephyr sports around, Odours from the flower-buds wringing Through the trees' dark foliage Jaucing- O'er the fruit ail golden glancing— By no wintry blast affrighted- Kissing the soft flowers delighted, Flowers that never lose the sun, Never close the laughing eye With existence never done Know not what it is to die Wo is me what rolls between ? 'Tis a rapid river rushing— 'l is the stream of Death, L ween, Wildly tossing—hoarsely gushing While my very heartstrings quiver, At the roar of the dread river. But I see a little boat The rough waters gently riding How can she so fearless float ? For I see no piot guiding. Courage I-on !—there's no retreating Sails aie spread in friendly greeting. On then, on !—in love we must, Without pledge or warrant, trust! The white-armed sails a message bear There are wonders everywhere The wondrous faith wherein you stand Must bear you to the Wonderland -From the Germa11 of Schiller.
THE WREN.
THE WREN. In the twilight of the morning, Ere the infant day was strorg, To the poet's little window Came a gush of joyous song Here or there it seem d it was not. For it came from everywhere Thrilling as if'twere utter'd By the circumambient air. Though the robin sang his matin O'er the budding walnut tree, And the many birds were quiring, All around as glad as he In the spirit entered only That diviner burst of praise, As the earth, like charmed Memnon, Answer'd to the warming rays. Looking from his little window Saw the bard a tiny wren, On the low walk of the garden Sitting where her nest had been Then he knew the living fountain Of that gushing flood of song, And his spirit held him musing On the merry creature long. Marrell'd he that one so humble And so little kenn'd as she. Yet could charm the ear of morning, With so great a melody With the hawks and mighty eagles, Lords and regents of the sky, Harsh and cruel and unlovely, Gave their terror-sending cry. w Poet! in thy simple chamber, Least and humblest among men, Learn a high and truthful lesson. Of the unambitious wren.
LIMERICK CATHEDRAL BELLS.
LIMERICK CATHEDRAL BELLS. Those evening bells-those evening bells- How many » taie their music tells Of youth and home-and" that sweet time When last 1 heard their soothing chime THE remarkably fine bells of Limerick cathedral were originally brought from Italy; they had been manufactured by a young native, (whose name tradition has not preserved), and finished after the toil of many years, and he prided himself on his work. They were subsequently purchased by the prior of a neighbour- ing convent; and with the profits of this sale the young Italian procured a little ,111., where he had the pleasure of bearing the tolling of his bells from the convent cliff, and of growing old in the bosom of domestic happiness. This, however, was not to continue. In some of those broils, whether civil or foreign, which are the undying worm in the peace of a fallen land, the good Italian was a sufferer amongst many. He lost his all; and, after the passing of the storm, found himself preserved alone amid the wreck of fortune, friends, family, and home. The con- vent in which the bells, the chef-d'ctuvre of his skill, were hung, was razed to the earth, and these last carried away into another land. The unfortunate owner, haunted by his memories, and deserted by his hopes, became a wanderer over Europe. His kair grew grey, and his heart withered, before be again found a home and a friend. In this desolation of spirit, he formed the resolution of seeking the place to which those treasures of his memory had been finally borne. He sailed for Irelnd-pro- ceeded up the Shannon the vessel anchored in the pool near Limerick, and he hired a small boat (or the purpose of landing. The city was now before him and he beheld St. Mary's steeple, lifting its turretied head above the smoke and mist of the old town. He sat in the stern, and looked fondly towards it. It was an evening so calm and beautiful as to remind him of his own native haven in the sweetest time of the year—the death of, the spline. The broad stream appeared like one smooth mirror, and the little vessel glided through it with almost a noiseless ex- pedition. On a sudden, amid the general stillness, the bells tolled from the cathedral the rowers rested on their oars, and the vessel went forward with the impulse it bad received. The old Italian looked towards the city, crossed his arms on his breast, and lay back in his seat; home, happiness, early recolleciions, friends, r.mily-all were in the sound, and went with it to his heart. When the rowers looked round, they beheld him with his face still turned towards the cathedral, but bis eyes were closed, and when they landed—they found him cold
THE LATE THEODORE HOOK.
THE LATE THEODORE HOOK. We recollect, on the death of Theodtfre Hook, the Times drawing a vivid picture of Splendid Misery," as illustrated in the mode of life—literary and aristocralical-of that intellectual alave to the pen and the aristocracy. "Alas, poor Yoiiek where are now thy quips and cranks that were wont to set the table in a roar 1" \es, he was once known as a man of infinite merri. ment and refined wit; but, atas he wanted that sound sterling judgment and prudence, which, alone, can enable men of his class and qualifications to make a reality of the seeming pros- perity which surrounds them. Like butterflies displaying their beauteous varieties in the sunshine, whilst that sunshine lasts, the day of destiny at last arrives, and finds them unprepared— no honied stores laid by—no provision for the future for their families. lust so was it, according to the public accounts, with the family of poor Theodore-tbe Atlas of our contemporary, John Bull. But what was lheodore Hook, or what is his family to us, that we should speak for them 1 Nothing—.hat is, nothing beyond the common ties of humanity—the common sympathies which ought to influence literary men in regard to the families of each other. Theodore Hook is gone, and left none to speak for him in interest towards hIS bereft family. No Song of the Shirt" can gain for them a Royal pension, for he wrote in other feelings and widely different sympathies. His genius was devoted to the interests of higher classes than pooi semptresses, for Lis adulation was towards coronets and mitres-and when be died his children were forgotten by those whom he delighted to honour.—Sunday paper. ♦

INCREASE OF BANKING BUSINESS FROM RAILWAYS—The im. mense influence which the investment of capital in railways has had upon the banking business of the country, may be judged fiom the fact, that one firm in Lombard-street sent to the clearing house £2,500,000, which, supposing what is probable, that they were drawn upon for the same amount, gives thrajxlraordiitary amount of £ 5,000,000 for one house in one day. Under the usual run of business, previous to the present railway speculation, the large banking houses used to return about ..t;I,OOO,ooO daily.

Glamorganshire Summer Assizes,
Glamorganshire Summer Assizes, (Continued, from our last.) THURSDAY, JULY 10. DOE DBM. BEPPART AND OTHIRS 11. THE MAYOR,&C. OF SWANSEA, AND OTHERS. Mr. Chilton opened the pleadings in this case, by stating that the action was brought for the recovery of a spot of ground in Swansea, called the Bathing bouse field," used originally as a place for persons going to bathe to undress themselves. This p ace, it would appear, has since been converted into a plot of b, ilding grouod, and the Swansea Infirmary and other public buildings have been erected upon it. The learned counsel proceeded to remark to the jury, I shall prove, gentlemen, and I trust to your satisfaction, that in 1763 the Portreve and Bur- seises of Swansea leased the property called the Bathing- house field" to Sir E. Mansell, for a term of ninety-nine years, at a rent of 6s. a-year; and in the lease there was a covenant that the property was not to be asigned without license from the corporation. Sir E. Mansell, in 1765, having obtained a license from that body, assigned the property to a person named Habak. kuk. This Mr. Habakkuk, in the November of the same year, transferred it to a person named John Llewellyn, who died in September, 1772, leaving a widow and one daughter. It was subsequently assigned to his wife, Elizabeth Llewellin, and from that time to her death the corporation of Swansea (who had taken possession of the property), paid Mrs. Llewellin four guineas a-year for this field. This the defendants did not dispute. When Mrs. Llewellyn died, she bequeathed the property to Ann Price for life. From that lime (1816,) to 1842, (when Ann Pricedied) the corporation paid the same amount yearly for the same pro- perty. It was then leased to David Lewis, and Lattice Lewis, his wife. After David Lewis's death, the said Lettice l ewis willed the property to Ann Lewis, Susannah Lewis, and Mary Lewis, her daughters. Ann Lewis married a person named Jones, and Susannah Lewis married Beppart; and Jones and Beppart received four guineas a.year for the property, from the corporation of Swansea. The corporation had, therefore, recog- uised their title, and he (Mr. Chilton) was at a loss to know that recognition was now to be evaded. The learned counsel produced the deeds, wills, and other documents necessary for the proof of the foregoing statement, when Mr. V. Williams proceeded to address the jurv for the de. fendants. He admitted that the deed;), assignments. Sic., pro- duced by his learned friend proved all that they were intended to prove, but still they did not prove enough. He would supply the deficiency of his learned friend's statement, by showing, what he had failed to show, viz., what had become of the 6s. rent to be paid to the corporation of Swansea during all the leasing, assign- ing, and willing of the property in question. The plaintiffs very shrewdly say, We leceive the four guineas per annum—we have the lease-let us give the occupier notice to quit, and take possession of the property."BThis sounded very plausible until the matter was a little investigated, but he wished to ask his learned friend what became of the six shillings a-year rent that Sir E. Mansell had agreed to pay to the corporation. Why that amount had been paid yearly by Sir E. Mansell and his successors, thus proving the legal title of the corporation to the property in ques- tion. In the year 1789 Mr. Llewellyn, the person then in pos- session of the property. undeileased it to a person named Angel, who was to pay Mr. Llewellyu four guineas a-year for it, over and above the 6a, to the corporation. This Mr. Angel after- wards sold the propeity under lease to the corporation—and acting as the representatives of 1\Ir. Angel, the corporation paid the four guineas a-year to the plaintiffs-reserving to themselves the six shillings a-year rent, at which they had originally leated the propeity. Mr. Williams temarked that he would put in the necessary deeds and other documentary evidence necessaiy to establish his statement and he was perfectly unable to conceive how his learned friend would meet the case which he had laid before the court. After a lengthened disputation, in which some forensic fire was emitted, it was arranged, by the advice of the learned judge, that a verdict should be given for the plainliff, with leave for the defendant to enter a nonsuit, the court to draw such infelences II the jury might have drawn. SAMCEI. v. Lit. This was as action for trespass, in which Thomas Samuel, a labourer, charged Edward Herbert Lee, Esq., of DinasPowis, with having illegally turned him out of a cottage which he rented of the said E. H. Lee, Esq. Mr. V. Williams and Mr. Chilton appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Evans and Mr. Carne for the defendant. Mr. Chilton said, Samuel is a poor man, and Mr. Lee is a magistrate of the county, and Samuel's landlord. Samuel, it would appear, was in artear with his rent, and Mr. Lee dis- trained, which he had a right to do, but still thete are limits to distraining. Mr. Lee sent his gamekeeper to the house, to take the goods, and he was not content with doing that, but he put the children, who were playing in the garden, into Ihe work- bouse, and padlocked the door, and prevented Samuel and his wife entering the house. This action is brought, therefore, to recover damages for this unjustifiable trespass. Mr. Lee is the responsible party, and I have no doubt of your giving me a verdict. Witnesses were called to prove the statement of the learned counsel. The first examined was, Robert Thomas, who said 1 am a carpenter at Cardiff, and act as bailiff in law processes. I was applied to on the 8th May last, by one Francis Purnell, to go with him to Mr. Lee's house, at Dinas Powis, and we got there at ten a.m. We went to his house before going to plaintiff's, and his land agent, John Williams, came with us. Mr. Lee said be would send his bailiff along with us. We all went to plaintiff's house about half put ten, a.m. The door was shut, and we called out, but no one answered. 1 opened the doer and went it. We staid about half an hour, and sent for plaintiff and his wife, and then we removed the goods. There was fire in the grate, cups, See., on the table, and every appearance of a family having had breakfast. There were two children in the garden. We took out the goods to the road, and a person named Hockey, Mr. Lee'a gamekeeper, assisted us. We found some wearing apparel there, which we left with the next neighbour, Mrs. Howells. There was a lock put on the door by me and Williams. By that time a cart came, and the things were put into it. The staple that held the padlock was knocked in by a hammer. The things were taken to the Star, at Dinas Powis, and were put up for lale the same day, and there being no bidders, they were turned over to the landlord. I then went back to the cottage, and the wife came. She waa crying, and I left her silting on the step of the door. I do not know what became of the children but I heard they were taken to the overseer. Cross-examined by Mr. Evaos: I was engaged by Purnell to go and see the goods appraised and sold. They were appraised, and handed over to the landlord, as there were no bidders; the distress was made six days before. By Mr. Chilton; Mr. Lee said his bailiff, John Williams, should go with as. Mr. Evans, in addressing the jury for the defendant, said, that out of nothing, nothing could be had, and that this was the most trumpery action be ever heard of; it was only brought to put damages in the pocket of the attorney; but he, Mr. E" would show them that there were no grounds for the complaint. Samuel was a tenant of Mr. Lee, and was very much in arrears of rent, and Mr. Lee could get nothing from him he was, therefore, de. termined to get rid of him, and gave him notice to quit in Oct. last still he would not, and in May last Pllrnell was engaged to distrain, and did so, but was requested by Samuel and his wife to leave the goods for about five days, and they would pay £2. This they did not do, and the goods were then taken and handed over to the landlord. All this they did not object to, only the locking up of the house aud this case was brought for- ward to put Mr. Lee to the expense of an action. As to the children being taken to the workhouse—they were taken to their aunts, where they now live. These were the facts of the case, which he would prove by the following witnesses :— Francis Purnell said: I am a bailiff at Cardiff. On the 3rd May I distrained on the goods of Samuel, having received my instructions from Mr. Langley, the attorney. The amount was £5, 6s. lid. for arrears of rent. I saw his wife, and she would not let me in. I saw the husband after. They told me if I would leave the goods for five days I should have £2., and £1. in a week after. I did not leave a bailiff in possession. Samuel told me if he did not pay me according to promise, he would give up the house and all the things to me. At the end of the sixth day, Robert Thomas and I went over to the house about ten a.m. Robert Thomas put his finger through a hole and raised the latch. I thought they had deserted the place, for they had told me they would. I did not find the things the same as tbe inventory there was a feather bed gone—the best thing in the house. We removed the things to the Star, and they were appraised, and we put them up for sale. I failed to sell them in consequence of the people being afraid to buy them, because he said he would burn the house of any one who bought them. I turned the goods over at the valuation to Williams, and I paid all the constables and others that assisted. After the goods were taken out, a lock was put on by my orders. John Williams went for it. and I said, when he is out, the best way is to keep him out." J never had any instructions to put a lock on the door, but it was entirely my own doing. I met the plaintiff three or four days after. I had not then heard that the padlock was broken open he told me that he did it the same night, and took possession that it was his house. John Williams 1 am a land-agent to Mr. Lee, and know the plaintiff, and that he rented a cottage from Mr. Lee, at £3. a- year; his tenancy was from May to May. I went with last witnesses to levy the distress, and made out the inventory the arrears weie £ 5. 6J. On the day of the sale I went to the house; they were there before me. 1 was ordered to go and fee if there was any assistance wanted. After the things were taken out, we put a lock on the door, but bad no orders to do so. After the deduction of the expenses, there remained out of the valua- tion, £3. 4s. 10.1. Plaintiffhvel with his father in law. I gave him notice to quit. Catherine Evans, remembered the goods being taken, and her sister (plaintiff's wife) coming, with her children, to her fathers house that night, and sleeping there; they had remained there ever since. Mr. Chilton then ably addressed the jury for the plaintiff. His (ordshiphaving summed up the evidence, Ihe jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, 20s. damages. Attorney for the plaintiff Mr. T. G. Phillpotts, for the defend- ant 1\1r. A. Langley. WEYMOUTH AND ANOTHER V. 1HOMAS. This was an undefended action for the recove, v of JE80 Is. lid. said to be due by the defendant to the plaintiff, on account of coala delivered to him for sale on commission. Mr. V. Williams and Mr. Chillon for the plaintiffs. Mr. Chilton, Q. C., on behalf of the plaintiffs, said, Messrs. Weymouth and Green are proprietois of Tymawr Railway, they bring this action against Thomas for not accounting for goods delivered they send coal to the coast, and also supply ftieath Thomas is appointed to sell coal, and has a free house &c., he had 6s. 8d. a Ion for it from persons who bought it from the yard, and when it was sent to others, he had os. 4d.: we shall deal very leniently with him, and charge htm only with one sixth for the 81. 4d. coal, and therefore we now claim .€80. Is. ) ld. We shall have no difficulty in showing you the quantity of coal sent. Mr. C. then described the manner in which the accounts were kept, and said he would call an intelligent person, who would explain it in his evidence. Robt Parsons, examined: I am manager of the mineral works belonging to the plaintiff, the works at onetime belonged partly to myself; plaintiffs became proprietois in November last, aod I became manager. Some distance off they have other coal works. They have a coal yard at Neath. The defendant is em- ployed by them to sell coal; he was to have 6s. 8d. for what people bought from the wharf; be had a house, and a cart to de. liver coal; he was to have 8s. 4d.for what wanent toadistaoce. As foreman, it "as his duty to keep an account of what he sold. A check was sent with each quantity of coal specifying the quantity, the date, and the number 01 the barge. It was customary to gllage the boat at the locks; the haulier gave the tickets to the defendant. I have some tickets from Mr. White* head, which I have examined, and I find that 995 tons went from the pit to Neath from Nov. to March. I have some ac- counts that were rendered by the defendant; be takes credit for petty disbursements, also for two pence a ton for unloading. I have made out an account from those documentai, and made an allowance of 10 per (cent, for waste, which leaves 896 tons. I have no nwaoi of knowing what quantity he told at the dUFtnat prices, and I made in my account a liberal allowance towards himself, I charged him with one-sixth at 8s. 4d. and the other five-sixth at 6s. 8d., I think that £80. Is. lid. is due to the plaintiffs. Thos. Whitehead, coshier at the wotks, corroborated the tes- timony of the former witness. Verdict for plaintiff £80. Is. lid. The court rose at half-past five. FRIDAY, JULY 11. The coutt assembled this morning at nine o'clock. MORRIS V. BARNES. This was a case of replevin. Mr. V. Williams and Mr. Rickards appeared for the plaintiff, and Messrs. Wilson and Evans for the defendants. By leave of the court, this action was postponed to next assizes, in consequence of the illness of a very maleiial witness, named Randall. The plaintiff to pay all costs. SPECIAL JURY. The following gentlemen were sworn as a special jury, in the case of DOE DEM LORD AND ANOTHER V. KINGSBURY, Richard Lloyd. Esq., David Francis, Esq., Peier Stokes, Esq., L. L. Dellwyn, E*q. Ricbd. Bassett, Esq., John Granger, Esq., George Gape, Esq., John Homfray, Esq., — Turberville, Esq., William Rowland, Esq., Edward Langley, Eiq., and Edward Williams, Esq. Mr.Vaughan Williams and Mr. Evans appeared for the plain- tiffs, and Mr. Chilton and Mr. Wilson for the defendants. Mr. Vaugban Williams stated the case. Mr. Evans then said he had the hononr of appearing as one of the counsel for the plaintiff, Hugh Owen Lord.who was an officer of the army, and descended from a family possessing large pro- perty in the county. Mrs. Kingsbury, the defendant in this action, fancying that she possesses the farm and minerals, called Forchammon, this action is reduced to one-third of the pro- perty, the other two-thirds belonging to Colonel Holford, a gen- tleman who possesses large property in the counties of Glamorgan and Brecon. In the year 1747, a person named Grace Matthews, who also held large property in those counties, had a son named Edward, who, at that time. was about to be married 10 Miss Popkin, of Swansea and in December, in that year, a marriage settlement, to Mary Popkin, was drawn up. It recited that a portion had been paid by her father and also that the property should be settled in the blood of the Matthews and then went on to secure a jointure to the wife, if she should survive her bus. band then to John Popkin, for five hundred years and then to the beira and assigns of the daughters. The learned gentle- man then stated, that he and his friends had agreed upon that point, and, therefore, would not trouble the jury uith the con- sideiation of it, as it was very clear that the property was settled on Miss Mary Popkin. On the 16th of December, in that year, the marriage between Edwaid Matthews Bod Maty Popkin, took place. They had three daughters named Rebecca, Eleanor, and Ellen Elizabeth. The eldest, Rebecca, married a Mr. Kerr, the second, Eleanor, married Mr. Howel Gwyn. and the third, Ellen Elizabeth, married Hugh lord, of Pembroke, and from the youngest, the present claimant descended. The youngest had five children—the first lived only a few days, the second, Hugh Lord, is the father of the present claimant; the third married in 1780, and the fourth married apecaon named Edward Matthews; but it is most important to refer to the faiher of the claimant. He spent a great part of his time in India. He went tlieie in the year 1796, and in 1806 he married at Madras, and had two sons. Hugh Frederick was bom io 1807—he had a commission in the cavalry—and died in 1827. The second son, Arthur Owen Lor t. was born in India. In 1738 the son of Mary Popkin died, an ) it was agreed by the parties to divide the propeity amongst them, that is, into thirds—Mrs. Kerr to have one-third, Mrs. Gwyn, one-third, and Mrs. Lord, one-third. The deed, how- ever, merely applied to the surface, saying nothing about the minerals under the surface, wh ch was the cause of this action. The learned counsel then read part of the deed, in which it was stated that the minerals, under Farchammon farm, could not be disposed of without the consent of the tenant entail. After a few farther lemarks, the learned gentleman called Mrs. R,e, who said, I am the wife of Captain Rye. My maiden name was Lord. My fathei's name was Hugh Lord, and my mother's Helena. My paternal grandfather's was Edward Matthews. 1 was seven years old when he died. My grand. mother's name was Mary Popkin. She died in 1820. My mother had a sister called Mrs. Gwyn. Her name was Maria Eleanor. They are descendants from the Holford family. My aunt Gwyn is dead, and Mr. Gwyn. My mother had another sisler called Rebecca; she was married to Mr. John Kerr. She had a son William, who is alive. I had a brother called Edward Matthews; He died when three weeks old. ] had another biother named Hugh; he went to London in 1796; he is dead. He married a lady ia India, by whom he had a son called Hugh Frederick this son died unmarried. Arthur Owen Lord, the complainant, is the only son of Hugh Lord. My father died in 1829, aod my mother in 1805. I lived with my father at Duffryn, near Catdiff. 1 remember the tenants coming to pay tbeir rents; they used to dine there. I remember Thos. Jenkins, from Aberdare, coming; he was chief tenant of Forehammon. Mr. Williams then put in the marriage settlement of Grace Matthew and Robert Popkins. Mrs. Lucy Lord I am the mother of Arthur Owen Lord, the plaintiff in thiacase, and wife of the late Hugh Lord. I was married in 1806, in Madras. He was registrar of the Piovisional Court of Appeal, and afterwards circuit judge of the Northern Court of Appeal. Mr. Edward Russell was assistant judge at that time. In 1824 or 1825 he was moved to the Southern Court, at Madras. I lived in Mr. Russell's house, at Madras. When we went there, I remained till 1826. I had two sons; the first was Hugh Frederick, the second Arthur Owen Lord. Hugh Frederick had a commission in the cavalry. He never was married. Arthur was born in 1819, and we came to England with him in 1826. I have been intimate with the family since I returned. I knew Mrs. Kerr very well. Edward Russell, Esq., sworn In 1803 I went to India. I there became acquainted with Mr. Hugh Lord. 1 remember his marriage. He died in India in 1829. I kenw Hugh Frederick Lord he died in India. He was not married. John Arthur Moore I knew Mr. and Mrs. Lord in India. I had a letter stating his death. I well knew Mr. Hugh Frederick Lord; be died in 1829; he was not married. Wm. Kerr s I am a magistrate of Monmouth. and eldest son of Mrs. Rebecca Kerr eldest daughter of Edward Matthews. I re- member my grandfather; my mother is dead as representing her, I am in possession of one third 01 this properly, and Col. Holford is in possession of one third, as representing Mil. Howell Gwyn. I received the rent of some of the property in the deed of partition, but not in the estate of Forchammon. The works are now just opened, and out of those that are opened I receive one third, Mr. Chillon objected to this evidence he said an ejectment could not take place for mine that had not been opened and he would move for leave to biing in a nonsuit, should the court think fit. Mr. Wilson addressed the bench, and his Lordship stated to the jury that they would not be troubled in this case; a verdict for the plaintiff would be entered, with liberty to enter a nonsuit, the court to draw any inferences it might think proper. ^TAYLOR V. CLAY AND ANOTHER. Mr. Chillon and Mr. Davidson appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. V. Williams and Mr. Betson for the defendants. Mr. Davidson stated that this was an action for promise, in which Taylor was the plaintiff, and Clay and Gilman were the defendants. The defendants state by their charter party, that the ship Jane, lying in the river Thames, was chartered to go to Port Talbot, there to be loaded in tiim, and from thence to proceed to Spain. In that issue is joined. We complain, that when she got there she was not loaded in trim, and that she sustained a severe injury while lying there. Mr. Chilton briefly stated the facts of the case viz., that the Jane was chartered in London on the 10th March, 1843; and on the 13tb or 14th March she arrived at Port Talbot, and was admitted into the float, light, staunch, strong, and every way fit for her voyage. According to the charter party, they were to load this vessel in tiim. She arrived there about the 13th of March, and she did not get loaded until the beginning of May and it wonld appear that the rules of the Port Tatoot Company compel every vessel above 25 tons to take a licensed pilot, which, on this occasion, the captain of the Jane did. The harbour-master was a lieutenant in the navy, and perhaps very fit for his office, but he would show that on this occasion he was in fault. When the Jane arrived, the Preston and the Nautilus were there. The Jane was to go into dock after these, and before the Thames, which was also there. They were all 10 enter in trim. The harbour. master, however, ordered in first the Preston and the Nautilus then the Brothers, then the Jane; and when the Jane was pass- ing the lock-gates tbe Thames was ordered in, and jammed Ihe Jane, foi whrh the action was brought. Wm. Cock Cibby: I was lately foreman 10 the harbour-master at PortTalboi; I was so on the 13th March, 1843 Mr. Fitz- morris was master. I saw the Jane there on that day. It de- pends on the state of the tide whether they can be admitted in trim. The Preston came in alone, before the Jane, then the Brothers. They were jammed, and I had to heave theveseet full 115 feet to get them clear. I think they had pilots on boaid. V essels are not allowed to come in without pilots, but the Amelia comes in and goes out without them. After the Preston and the Brothers came in, we shut the upper gates and opened the lower ones the Nautilus then c.me in, and the harbour-master ordered the Jane in. After they had come in. there was no [(111m lor any other vessel, because the Jane was not clear of the gates when the harbour-master ordered the Thames to come in. I did not bear him order her in I spoke to him about the Preston and the Brothers being jammed. The Jane was wider than the Brothers, and the Thames'* beam was very wide. It was the Jane's turn to come in after the Preston, but the Brothers was ordered in instead of her, being narrower in the beam. Captain Jenkins, of the Brothers, thought there was room, aDd went in, and they were jammed in the run. The Nautilus and the Jane came in near a-breast the harbour-roaster then ordered the Thames in, but she could not gel in without jamming the Jane. By the Court: If the Jane had got to her berth, the would not have been jammed. By Mr. Chilton It was about five P.M., and 1 saw there was not room. The Jane had not time to get to her berth before the Thames came in. The Jane, if she bad time, would have gone with her bow under the quarter of the Nautilus, and then Ihe Thames would have come under the Jane. There was a strong outset against her, of from sit to nine iuches, which had the effect of raising her, and she jammed against the bulwarks of the Jane, and left her hanging in that position for that tide. The harbour-master gave orders for the Thames to be hove astern. I did not see a sltrn rope. They tried to extricate the vessel, and the crew of the Jane assisted. The sluices were opened to try and part them, but it was of no use. The Jane threw out her ballast, and did all she could to gel clear. The Jane ought to have been in clear before the Thames was ordered n. 1 he lock is 40 feet wide at the top, and three feet narrower ai the bottom. As the tide goes out the vessels get closer together. 1 lie Jane is much largei than the Nautilus, and ought to have been locked befoie ^Cross-examined by Mr. V. Williams I left the Port Talbot Company in October. I do not think thai.Captain Iitzmorris has behaved well to me. I never said that it would be better for Captain Filzmorris in the matter of the Jane if he had be- haved kindly to me. 1 know Captain button, and may have told him that Ihe matter of the Jane was not over yet. I heard Captain Fitmzoiris repeatedly hail them to heave a head. I can't say that he said anything about the winch, he told them to heave ..bead. f b J Thomas Williams, second mate of the Jane, corroborated the evidence of the first witness, and added, J called to the harbour- master, saying we should be jammed by the rha,mes. He turned round, and took no notice. I Ipoke to him agai., and told him that we were getting jammed, and could not get on. There were seven men at the double winch at t £ he fiist lime that I spoke lo him they were touching us but had she stopped we would have got on. When she touched us she threw our bows out across Ihe stream, and prevented us getting in. Alter we were jammed, he turned round and said, Heave away on board the Jane." I theo a third time told him that we were jammed. He ihen walked to the pier-head and told the Thames to heave astern, and they did; and I and some others of the Jane went and did all we could, but we could not move her. The ballast WM out the 17th March, and "I btgan to toadon the 2d of May and finished on the 10th. £3 a day is a fair demurrage lor such a vessel as the Jane. Mr.V. Williams cross-examined the witness at some length, but nothing material was elicited. Lloyd's agent at Port Talbot described the injury done to tha Jane by the Thames. Mr. V. Williams addressed the jury, and called Captain Fitz- morris, who said I have no shares in the Port Talbot Com- pany. I have been harbour master at Port Talbot for the three years last past; I was there on the 13th March, 1843; 18 vessels came in that day, the two vessels that lay nearest the gate were the Preston and Jane. I enquired the width of the Preston and I found it to be 25 feet and 4 inches. I hailed the Jane, and could not be heard tn consequence of a noise being made at the time. I asked Capt. Jones to ask the width of the beam of the Jane: he said 22 feel. 1 objected to take in the Jane and the Preston at the same time, I then took in the Brothers with the Preston, she was much smaller than the Jane. In the second lot I took in the Nautilus, her beam was 15 feet, I ordered her to take her berth close up by the upper gates, 1 then ordered in the Jane, the Jane was about 90 feet from the lock gate when I hailed her: she sent up her warp to be fastened, which was done, to a mooring post on the south side of tbe lock beyond the inner gates. I told them to heave a head, andseong they were pulling by hand, I repeated my oiders over and over again-they weie hauling by hand. making a tremendous noise, with that North American limber song they sometimes sing when they are at the winch-she had her boars inside the lower gates when I told the Thames to come along. She was lying 200 feet below she sent her warp on the middle of the north side just below the Nautilus they geneially know about where their berth is to be by where the rope is fastened there was pienty of room for the Jaoe to haul alongside the Nautilus. I was very anxious to get her a head and did not observe how many men there were on board. I was quite astonished to see that the Thames hauled up quicker than the Jane, because she was a smart brig, whereas the Thames was a great unwieldy craft, laden ItS deep as she could swim. I know Williams, and do not remember his calling to me and saying the Tamts was pressing on the Jane. I must have heard him if he had said so I heard some one say down below" the vessels are touching, they w;1f jam." When 1 found they had touched, 1 ordered ropes to be iun out asiffn 1 eever said Samuel heave a head." Williams re-cdlied: After I had named it to the harbour master three times of the vessels touching, he called out to a per- son on board the Thames, "Samuel, heave a head." Examinationcontinued They did not succeed in parting them they were so low down ihat the lower gates could not be shut and they remained so till next day. When the tide rose ncx: day, they both went into ihe lock,and the Jane took her station by the Nautilus at ihe upper end of the lock. I attribute the accident entirely 10 the carelessness of the captain and crew: had they brought their rope to the winch, they might have come in willi ease. Mr. Chilton cross-examined the witness: I got in a passion and swore at them for making such a noise. I will not swear that they did not use the wincii when the tide was against them Ihey hauled wIth theu hands when the run was in their favour. I saw the Thames gainiog upon the. J dne, but I thought the Jane would have gone faster she ought to have done so. I did not tell the Thames to slack until she touched the Jane. They had a pilot 00 board, who IS bound to obey my orders. There was 16 ftet of water in the lock at the time the width is 43 ft. II 10.. the Thames is 21 fl. 4 in. John Williams, John Rees, Djvid Lewis, and Rees Rees, ga»^ evidence, metely corroborative of that 01 former witnesses. Wm. Morgan, the pilot that took charge of the schoonet Jane on the 13th March, 1843, said The harbour master told us when we were entering the lock, to heave a-head, but never spoke to us again till we got to the gates, and when we were at the walla he told us three times to heave a-head. They kept on hauling, andjbroughtjthe rope to the windlass when about half- way through the gales. A quarter of an hour elapsed from rhe time we were first ordered to come in, till the vessels got jammed. The Jane ought not to have taken one half the time. 1 heard the harbour master tell the Thames to haul astern before they were jammed, and they did so. Cross-examined by Mr. Chilton They instantly obeyed the ordeis of the harbour master, when told to beave astern and there would have been no difficulty in heaving astern had they not been jammed. The windlass has more power lhan the winch, and they put all the power they had. They were using the windlass before the orders were given to the Thames to heave astern. John Jones: I should say that if the Jane had hove ahead, she ought to have retained her position ahead, the Thames being a clumsy vessel. The Jane might have been impeded by the set out againsi her, and two of th6 crew were not accustomed to the coasting trade, whilst all the crew of the Thames were. The Jane was a vessel of 300 tons, whereas the Thames was much smaller, although a more clumsy thing. The windlass has more power in going-against a current than the winch. John Matthews, the pilot who was on board the Thames,said I repeatedly heard the harbour master tell the Jane to heave a- head after we had orders. If they had hove properly on board the Jane, we could not have caught her. As our bows were passing the lower gate we were not two feet from her, but shortly afterwards we touched her, and the harbour master said, Matthews, I believe you wont be able to come in this lock, you had better put asiern." We had a rope out, and there was ano- ther handed to the shore and made fast to the post. We com- mented heaving immediately. Every effort was made to get astern, but we could not; there was an outset from the lock, but nothing of any consequence. Cross-examined by Mr. Chilton The Jane drew more water than we did. The fide was ebbing at the time. Thomas Gregory, master of the Nautilus, said The Jane was six or eight feet through the dock gate when we went in. I saw the Jane stop until the Thames had got up within a foot of her, and I think that she stopped in consequence of the rope breaking. I am sure she could have been hauled up quicker than she was. Captain Sutton said Cibby told me some time ago, that the case of the Jane was not over yet, and that it would have been better for Capt. Fiizmorris if he had been kind to him. This closed the case for the defence. Mr. Chilton addressed the jury, his Lordship summed up the evidence, and the jury retired, and returned a verdicl for the defendant. The Court rose at half-past nine p.m. CConcluded in our third page.)
DREADFUL MURDER AT PENZANCE.
DREADFUL MURDER AT PENZANCE. On Tuesday morning the inhabiiants of Peozance were horri. fied by the discovery that a dreadful murder had been perpetrated during the festivities with which the layiog the foundation stone of the new pier was being celebrated. The name of the victim is Elizabeth Ruth Seaman, aged about 47. She lived with a man named Benjamin Ellison, aged about 60, and resided in Pen- zance two years they had, for eight or nine months, occupied one of the small cottages on the western side of Rosevean-road, near the Roman Catholic chapel. On Monday forenoon, Ellison and Mrs. Seaman were seen together, looking at the procession and it is said they were seen about this lime" havingsome words" on the esplanade. On Monday evening, Ellison, who was a teetotaller (as was also the deceased), came to the Temperance Hotel, in Prince's-street, r. here be had been accustomed to read the papers. He had some cocoa and cake in the smoking room, and then asked Mr. Thomas, the landlord, if he could have a bed there (which he had never done befoie) giving as his reason for desiring to sleep there, that Mrs. Seaman was putting some of their things together to remove, and it being then late, he did not like to go home. He then asked to tee a Mr. William Eddy, who was in the house, and with whom it appears he had been on frendly terms; and. after some conversation with him, went lo bed. On the.following morning, about nine o'clock. he was at his residence, in Rosevean-road; for about tnatlime he came to the back-duor of a neighbour, Mrs. Hill, and asked her to go with him into his house. Mrs. Hill complied with this reque t; and, proceeding through the back entrance to Ellison's house, he said to her that he had been out all night, and on coming home, he found that poor Mrs. Seaman was killed. M's. Hill enclaimed, Good God, is it possible Ellison said yes, it was so. They went into the house, and Mrs. Hill saw the body of Mrs. Seaman lying in the kitchen, on the floor, on her back, her face being covered with a piece of black gauze. On leaving the house a' the back, Ellisoo called Mrs. Hill's atten- tion to the broken pane In the window of the bnck kiichen, and said, 90me person must have broken the window, unhitched it, and got in and killed Mis. Seaman. He then told Mrs. Hill to stay there, and he would go and see for a policeman to find out the murder. He then went back to the Temperance HOld, and spoke to the landlord, and said to him, poor Mrs. Seaman is murdered some one, last night, broke into the house and mur- deied her." He added, 1 am ruined in consequence lor I had some expectations as you know." He then asked the landlord to go with him to Mr. Carne, a magistrate, and get the police 10 try to take the person who committed the act. They both went to Mr. Carne's, and afterwards to the Mayor's, whence it ap- pears, the policeman followed them back to the Temperance Hotel, and afterwards felt it his duty to apprehend Ellison on suspicion of being the murderer and at the ioquesi held in the couise ot the same day before J. Roscorla, Esq., coroner, a ver. dict of wilful murder against Ellison was returned, and he was the next morning committed to Bodmm for trial at the Assizes.— When the dead body of Mis Seaman was found by the police constable about half-past nine, aud was examined by Mr. Mitchell Thompson, surgeon, it was the opinion of that gentle- man that she had been dead at the least twelve hours, and it might have been much lonoer. She was lying on her back on the lime-ash floor of the ki'.chen. her arms slightly bent and tigid, both bands firmly clenched, and grasping hair, which, it is said corresponds in colour with that of Ellison's head. Her whole bust was nlmost one mas? of livid brutSts while there was a ter- rible fracture of the back part of her head. The floor was cuile saturated io parts with blood, aod large spots and spurts of biood marked the wall. In the little back kitchen was afterwards found a hatchet, the handle of which was covered wiib blood, and there were marks of b'ood also about the heavy part, and the lower part of th:; iroo. The dtceased had on her day-dress; and it was seen that the only bed in the house had not been used on the Monday night, thus leading to ihs inference that the murder had been committed some time in the day. Mrs. Seaman had been the second wife, and was the widow, of a solicitor who died in Swansea, in 1842. aged about 76 years, leaving her his pro- perty. Her maiden name, we hear, was Cheshire. Of theoii- gin of her acquaintance with Ellison, we ha"e no satisfactory in- formation, liut rumour hag it ihat a number of letters were found in the house, among which were several addressed by EHi- son to Mrs. Seaman, with all the enormous euthosiasm of a love- lorn youth addressing some romantic miss in her teens." Elli- son, it is said, was at oue time a Lieutenant of Local Militia, at Halifax, in Yorkshiie. Altogether there seems to be considera- ble mystery mixed up with the history of both Ellison and the deceased. The deceased's wit), ia her own handwriting, and properly executed, has been found. It gives all her property to Ellison. She had £100 in the 31 per cents., and about £50. or £ 60. in one oltha CaimBrlhen banks. The will, it appeals, was found to have bee') in Ellisons possession. Among the facts that came out on the inquest, it was stated by Henry Thomas. son of Mr. Thomas, at the Temperance Hotel, that about half- past five, on the Tuesday morning, Ellison came down to him in the underground kitchen, and asked him to clean his boots, say- ing there was no need to take them off. Henry Thomas then brushed the boots on Ellison s feet, and observed that the boola h.d the appearance of having been waahtd. His ordinary clothes and dirty linen are missing

PRICE OF CATTLE IN SCOTLAND. Ihe ptice both of lean and fat cattle in this county continues unprecedentedly high, and there are no symptoms of any decline. These prices seem to be perfectly warranted, from the unusual demand in the southern markets. In oue week. upwards of eight hundred, chiefly fat, were imported into London from Scotland, and even this large quantity did not bling down the Importation, conse- quently, continues on an extens've scale. The result of this stale of things has been a supply of inferior cattle at the maikets, which, however, are generally easily disposed of. Such was the cjse at the Muir of Ord and other maikets, where fdt beasts were altogether a rarity. In this country it is a matter of extreme difficulty 10 purchase even small qualities, except at a figure which has never previously been paid. One splendid lot of uvo- var-otds. belonging to Captain David Henderson, were sold at tilt WormQUt sum of £11.5., etch .John 0 Qrç.e.. Journal,
Corn Trade.
Corn Trade. In the early part of the week we had several very fine days, but since Wednesday a considerable quantity of rain has fallen, which, though perhaps not actually injurious to tbe corn crops, must have done mischief to the hay, where not pieviously secured. The unsettled state of the weather has naturally given rise to some uneasiness, and theie can be no doubt that a longer con- tinuance of wet would be very prejudicial, as sunshine is now the grand requisite to bring the growing grain forward. Under these circumstances holders of wheat have manifested very liitle dis. position to part with their property, and an opinion has gained ground that the value of the article will advance. We have on former occasions stated, and still adhere to that belief, that the smallness of the stocks is likely, even if nothing should occur to create apprehension in regard to the result of the harvest, to pre- vent prices receding much below their present level, and consi- dering the backwardness of the crop, and the consequent extra risk to which it must be exposed ere it can be expected to ariive at maturity, we do not feel at all surprised at the firm tone which the trade has lately assumed. Without anything like an active speculative demand, tbe deliveries from the growers have only just been sufficient to supply the quantity necessary for consump. t'oo should any circumstance arise, therefore, calculated to create alarm or even uneasiness, and millers and merchants be thereby induced, as a matter of prudence, to endeavour to in. crease their stocks, it might aod probably would be difficult for the farmers to furnish adequate supplies and there being little or no tree foreign to fall back upon, the trade is in a somewhat precarious position. It is far from our desire to create unne- cessary apprehensions, but it must be confessed that more than ordinary importance attaches to the result of tbe ensuing harvest; io case of even a partial failure, much distress would probably be felt, and with a decidedly deficient yield, IlIgh prices would have 10 be paid abroad before any quantity at ail Commensurale with our wants could be secured. A variety of circumstances have combined to place us in this position the abundance of last year's crop, IInd the favourable manner in which the seed was committed to the ground in Autumn, rendered all parties averse to entering into speculations in foreign wheat, more particularly as previous investments, ever since the disastrous year 1842 had proved the reverse of lucrative to those engaged in them. During the winter and spring comparatively little was, therefore, bought abroad, and latterly prices have, in consequence of the unfavour. able result of the last ciop in many of the principal wheat pro- ducing countries in the north of Europe, been so high, in corn- parison to the value of the article here, as 10 act as a decided check to business. Meanwhile the stocks of old foreign wheat in the kingdom have been gradually used up; hence we are almost wholiy dependent on our own producers for supplies; whilst these hold out, which we think they will do whilst the crop on the ground continues to wear a promising aspect, affairs may progress much as before, but should any thing occur to in- duce farmers to hold back, and the demand once outrun the sup- ply, a material advance would undoubtedly take place. Up to the present period the reports from the agricultural counties are on the whole favourable in partial instances some of the more luxuriant pieces of wheat and barley may have been lodged In districts over which the recently experienced thunder-storms have passed, but the damage thereby done is not, we are inclined to beiieve, important in a national point of view. As already re- marked, holders of wheat have latterly, notwithstanding the ge- nerally auspicious reports of the plant, raised their pretensions, and at many:of the markets held since our last, an advance of Is. to 2s. per qr. on former rates had been established. In the dif- ferent kinds of spring corn and pulse the transactions have been on a restricted scale at most of the provincial markets, and the only change which 1.8s occurred in prtces is a small fall in those of Oats at some of the marine ports, wheie supplies have come forward from abroad about the sau;e time that somewhat increa- sed animals were teceived from Ireland. By our advets from Scotland we learn that the weather had been unsettled for some days, which, with the firm tone of the southern markets, had given rise to an improved inquiry for wheat. At Edinburgh, on Wednesday, good qualities conse- quently advanced Is. to Is. 6d. per qr.; and at Glasgow, on the same day, a rise of Is. per boll took place. In Ireland the weather appears to have been much more wet and boisterous than on this side the Channel, and in some patta of the island serious mischief is said to have been done to the corn fiefds. The damage, real and anticipated, had had consi- derable influence on ihe minds of buyers and sellers of graio; and, with an increased inclination to putchase, and a falling off in supplies, prices of wheat had tended upwards at the principal market. Oats, uotwiihsianding the fail at Matk-lane and other English markets, have been held very firmly, which had prevented much business being done in the aiticle. The arrivals of wheat into London, though still moderate, show an increase &II compared with (he previous week; being 5,846 qrs. against 3,503 qrs. The quantity brought forward by land-carriage samples from the home counties has, on the other hand, rather fallen off; and, on the whole, the market has been sparingly supplied. The millers have, however, conducted their operations with much caution, and the want of animation in the demand has rendered it difficult to exceed the prices of Monday. On Wednesday the business done was quite unimportant, and the few sales made were at precisely similar terms to those cur- rent in the commencement of the week the subsequent change in the weather had some influence on Friday still no actual ad- vance could be established, and factors relusing to accept former rates, very little business was done. As the quantity of foreign wheat entered for home consumption has been very tiifling for sevetal weeks past, and more or less has been taken daily for mixing, the granaried stocks of free have gradually been diminished, and really good qualities have now hecome very scarce. Under these circumstances, holders hlive become very indifferent about selling at present rates; and the few parcels of really good Danzig and fine Rostock on the market have been held at enhanced terms. Though compara- tiveiy little disposition haa been manifested to make speculative investments in bonded wheat, importeis have rather raised than lowered their pretensions. The prices demanded have been much too high, in relation to the value of the article Iree, to admit of the existing duty being paid and, as it mus: still be considered questionable whether the latter will fall below the maximum point, there has not been much inducement to purchase. The arrivals from abroad have been small, only 2,850 qrs. having been reported up to this (Saturday) evening. Of this quantity, 1,020 q's. are from Danzig. The averages do not advance so rapidly as some parties anti- cipated, the last general return for the kingdon. (47s. lid.) being no higher than that published the preceding week whilst the London return of Friday (51s. 7d.) was Is. per qr. lower. For flour a steady demand has been experienced since onr last, and fresh ground parcels, whether of town or country manufacture, have commanded fully former rates. Good Nor- folks have sold at 35s. in the river, and town-made householders at 39s. per sack. The recently received Canadian supply has found buyers to a moderate extent at 26;. to 27s. per barrel, be. ing equal to 36s. 3d. to 37s. 6d. per sack. The quality does not appear to please our bakers, or the sale would probably have been more rapid. With English bailey we have been scantily supplied, and what has come to hand from abroad has been landed under lock. Notwithstanding the smallness of the receipts, this gram has continued difficult of disposal, and sellers have been unable to establish the slightest improvement on previous prices. We have heard of no transactions in bonded parcels and. as it would be impossible to enter for home consumption at the 9s. duty without serious loss, importers must for the present make up their minds to hold. The inquiry for malt has been slow but, having only reo ceived a moderate quantify coastwise, sellers have insisted with much firmness on fotmer terms, particularly for the finer descrp- tions. The total supply of Oats, inclusive of 10,586qrs. from abroad, has amounted to 20,280 qrs. during the week. Of English only 70 quarters, of Scotch 1,449 quarters, and ef lush 7,475 qusiters have come to hand. Under the conviction that prices will not give wive way further at present, the dealers have co/nroenced operations on a somewhat more extensive scale, and a considerable proportion of the late large arrival from Ireland has already gone into their hands. The presure on the market has consequently been somewhat lessened and though the sale has not been brisk, a tolerable clearance has been effected at alH ut the same rates as those current in the beginning of the week. Imperos of Foreign do not appear io be veiy sanguine in respect to a lower duty, and the caigoes which have hitherto been received from abroad have, with very few exceptions, been offered free from on boald ship sellers being apparently unwilllllg to run the rfsk of incurring landing expenses on so slender a pros. pect of an ultimate reduction on the duty, us that afforded by the present position of the averages. The few English Beans ieceived have moved off at about previous prices, but an opinion seems to prevail that this article has touched the highest point. Egyptian Beaus, which have become a favourite article with our consumers, have commanded full terms, both frteand in bond. Peas, owing to their extreme scarcity, have moved off at the lalelyestablished enhancement. The duty fell 10 4s. 6J. per Ilr. on Thursday.— Murk Lane Express.

DEAfH OF THE MAYOR OF WALSALL.—We reoret to state that Mr. Hervey, the respected Mayor 01 Walsall, was drowned while bathing, at nn early hour on Wednesday morning. This event is rendered still more lamentable by the fact that one of the persons who went with drags to find the body of the deceased gentleman, was drowned in the attempt. The demise of Mr. Hervey, more patliculaily u-der such circumstances, has occa- sioned a deep feeling of legiet throughout the borough. FOURTEEN SHEEP KILLED BY THE LIGHTNING.—On Satur- day week, fourteen sheep, the property of Mr. Felix Nicholson, were killed by the lighmmg in a field at Roche Abbey. Mr. Nicholson had lefllhe sheep but a few moments before, and ob. serving the storm approaching, he had made towards home. A few hours afterwards the sheep were discovered, laid toeether as if asleep, a short distance from the hedge, but all dead. We are happy to learn that Mr. Nicholson's stock is insured, and our agricultural fiiends cannot do better than follow his example.— Doncaster Chronicle. EXTRAORDINARY PIG.—An extraordinary pig was littered at Haxey, (in Saturday week. It has eight legs, four ears, lour eyes, and what appear to be two heads amalgated in one. This extraordinary animal, which was littered with thirteen others at the Duke William Inn, Haxey, died soon after its birth. The Bishop of Norwich, at the recent meeting of the Biiiish Association for the advancement of science, stated in section D Zoology and Botany—that the spawn of Iresh-water fishes may be conveyed from one country to another .over the sea. The Bishop knew an instance in which the ova of the pike were de- posited to the thatch ot a cottage, and after having remained there for years, on the lhatch having been thrown into a diy ditch, which afterwards became filled with rain, young pike appeared. JOBBING IN RAILWAY SHARES.—The unpleasant disclosures made by the South-Easrern Railway Company on the conduct of Captain Boldero and Mr. Bonliam, in the trafficking in shaies, aiid the decision of the committee appointed by the House of Commons to investigate the subject, have made 11 absolutely ne- cessary for these two gentlemen to resign the situations held by them in the Board of Ordnance. THE FRENCH GAME LAW?.—The following cutioug application of the game laws is mentioned by the Courrier de Lyon :—A lady, accompanied by her young son, was returning from her country house, near Lyons, a few evenings back, when, on arriving at the barrier, the carriage WIlS visited by the officers as usual. But what is that you have in your hand, madame?" said the searcher. Oh! only a sparrow's nest," said the lady. "Seized!" said theomcer. "How seized ?" said the lady; "there's nothing wrong in a nest of young sparrows." "1 seize," said the lunciiooary, in viiiue of the new game law." But these are not game, they aie only little sparrows." "Ho matter," said the man in office, I have been ordered to seize and I seize in consequence." It was in vain that the lady re- presented that sparrows were not game, and that her son cried for his nest; the officer gravely maintained that the captuie wat tad kept the bird%,—Galignam,
HOUSE OF LORDS.
HOUSE OF LORDS. THURSDAY, JULY 10 On the motion of Lord Campbell, the Assessment of Wages (Scotland) Bill was readathird time and passed. On the motion of the Earl of Aberdeen, the Brazil Slave Trade Treaty Bill was read a third time and passed. The Marquess of Breadalbane presented petitions complain- 109 of the conduct of certain landowners in Scotland in refusing to grant sites on any terms for the trection of churches for the use of congregations of the Free Church of Scotland. The Earl of Cawdor and the Duke of Buccleuch entered into explanations of their conduct to prove that they had neither acted tyrannically nor intolerantly towards the Free Church. The Duke of Buccleuch said he had reason to complain of the manner in which these reverend gentlemen had gone about the country exciting the people by the strongest language. He had been held up to his own tenants as a godless tyrant, and denounced in that character at the administration of the sacra- ment by those persons among his own tenants and servants. With respect, however, to the charge of refusing sites for the Free Church, he had decided on each case as it arose, and on its own merits. He had relused a site in the parish of Cannobie, because there was a Free Church in the next parish which was not half jull and he had directed his agent to make arrange- ments to prevent the administration of the sacrament on the road side. o. the motion of the Earl of St. Germains, the Ecclesiasti- cal Unions (Ireland) Bill passed through committee. AI petitIOn presented by the Earl of Chichester from the Church Missionary Society, gave rise to a discussion on the sub. ject of New Zealand. Lord Stanley said that it was the fixed determination of the government to maintain inviolate the treaty by which the sove- reignty of New Zealand was ceded to the British Crown. His interpretation of the treaty of Watangi, was, that except with with the intelligent assent of the natives, the crown had no right to take possession of the land and having no such right, it had neither the light nor the powerof handing over to others that which it did not possess. The Foreign Lotteries Bill was read a second time. Adjourned. FRIDAY, JULY 11. The Earl of Dalhousfe laid on the table the minute of the Railway Committee of the Board of Trade. The noble earl stated that the government, having considered the opinions which the House of Commons had formed on this subject, had come to the determination that the railway department of the board should not hereafter report on the merits or comparative merits of any schemes. Also that it was proposed by the RO- vernment that the promoters of all railway schemes should de- posit with the board a copy of their plans and sections, and a statement in writing of the objects of the bill, and a copy of the bill itself. If on examinaliou, it should appear to tl'e board that on public grounds the attention of Parliament ought to be called to the scheme, then the board would piesent a report to Parliament on the subject; but its enquiiies would be confined mereiy to questions affecting the public safety, and other ques- tions of that nature. The Noble President of the Board of Trade, in defence of the practical lllility of the railway committee, stated that they hod repotted on 247 schemes. Of these, 58 had been withdrawn, and 19 had failed before the standing orders committee. This left 170, and ot these 151 had eben adopted by the House of Commons. Their lordships had had 15 of these bills before them. and they had adopte 1 the opinion of the House of Com- mons in every mstanre except one. Lord Brougham designated Ilie new arrangement as that sort of change which was made when the natural body was con- signed to its parent earth, and decomposition took place. The railway board was now honoured with the decent ceremonials of interment, and the noble eail had very naturally delivered its funeral oration. Lord Brougham postponed to Monday the further considera- tion of his tesolution touching the costs of parties promoting railways. The Documentary Evidence Rill and the Law of Real Pro- perty Bill were read a third time, and passed. Adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS. THURSDAY, JULY 10. Lord Palmerston gave notice that he would on Tuesday next call the attention of the house to the recent correspondence between the Earl of Aberdeen and the Duke de Sotomayor. On the order of the day for the third reading of the Colleges (Ireland) Bill, Mr. Bernal Osborne moved as an amendment, that an address be presented to the Queen, praying her Majesty to direct an inquiry to be made into the amount of the revenues ot trinity College, Dublin, from rent of college lands, endowments, and bequests, fees on matriculation, on taking degrees, and irom every other source; also, the manner in which the trust income is expended, the number of senior and junior fellows, of profes- sors, scholars, and all other officers of the college, with the amount of salary and allowances to each of them with a view- to ascertain whether the income or funds at present applied solely to the benefit of Protestants in I rinity College, Dublin, might not be beneficially extended, so as to make Koman Catholic and Protestant Dissenters eligible, if otherwise qua t- fied, to all scholarships, and to all such fellowships, professor- ships, and other offices in Trinity Colleges, Dublin, as are not intended for ecclesiastical purposes or immediately connected with ecclesiastical endowment. The hon. member charged cel tain of the fellows with committing the tin of matrimony, with enjoying the enormous emolument of £2000. a-year, in- eluding their professional earnings, and with various other high crimes and misdemeanours. r i Sir Thomas Fremantle, on the part of the Government, op- posed the motion and not only confuted the statements of Mr. Osborne, but shewed that he had established no parliamentary ground for his motion. Mr. Hamilton, Sir R. Inglis, Mr. Lefroy, and Mr. Shaw, followed in opposition to the amendment; and Mr. Redington, Mr. Warburton, Mr. Bume, Mr. M. J. O'Connell, and Mr. Shiel, in favour of it. Mr. Shiel threatened this country with some indefinable sort of terrible outbreak," unless the government went ten times further than they have as yet done in the road to conciliation. Sir R. Peel also opposed the motion. Lord John Russell said that, without binding himself to the exact character of the amendment, he was ready to establish the principle that Trinity College should be open to all religious persuasions alike. The house having divided, there were For putting the main question 168 For the amendment. 91 Majority 77 On the motion that the Bill be iead a third time, Sir R.

On the motion of the Attorney-Generallor Ireland, leave was given to bring in a bill for the appointment of a taxing-master for the High Court of Chancery in Ireland. Adjourned. FRWAt, JULY 11. Mr. Bennet took his seat for West Suffolk. On the order of the day for the house resolving itself into a committee on the Lunatic Bill, Mr. Duncombe moved, as an amendment, a resolution to the effect, that all further proceedings of the bill be postponed until next session, as there was not time to give il such consideration as its importance merited; and that before the lunacy commis- sion were made permanent, or its expenses paid out of the Con- solidated Fund, a full and ligid inquiry be instituted whether the present system did not aggravate the evils of the tearful disease of lunacy.

THE NATIONAL CLUB.— WINCHELSEA'S…
THE NATIONAL CLUB.— WINCHELSEA'S ADDRESS. The Earl of Winchelsea has started a new club, in which he has been joined, it is said, by some fifty congenial spirits at Ihe Upper and Lower House, to which he has given the designation of the" National Club." The annoyance and impudence of a knot of narrow-minded exclusives assuming to their hole-and- corner meetings of their score, or so, of venom-spurters, the title of national, would be worth notice were the parlies not so su- premely contemptible.— Huzza, huzza! for the national club! Ye Toties, upiouse ye up, up to each cub! Though Peel is triumphant, yet still a hubbub Wekick up 'gainst Maynooth with our national club With vigour and fast-stick beat a rob-a-dub-dub. On drum 'clesiastic—rub-a-dub-dub! Come on ye recruits to the national club! Talking is trifling the Romans we'll drub. When we've mustered a force at the national club Diogenes Newcastle soon from his tub" Again shall growl out—'twill inspirit each sub. M'Ghee from the pulpit shall, too, give a rub; Through the breadth of the land every Papist we'll snub And hard it will be if amidst the hub-bub, We don't frighten the isle with out national club THE BATTLE OF THE GUAGE*. No more St. Vincent and the Nile, Trafalgar's glories, too, Shall claim a Biiton's fondest smile, Struggles more fierce we view. Great liners" figh', "reports" loud rattle. Storms rage without assuagement; And railway rivals do fierce battle In hardy-fought en-guage-ment. FIELD OFFICERS DEFEATED. For Abingdon and Exeter Civilians have been seated While two bold major-generals Were in the fight defeated Whereat complain some rad"-repiners, These mojon both have turned out minors."
