_CAPSTICK'S VIEW OP MAGNA CHAKTA . ilr . Capstick had , he was accustomed to declare , furnished his room with a vigilant eye to his duties as a _"Mer . ' " ¦ * "" of Parliament . Over his mantle-piece was _/ _' _" -harta , framed and glazed . '' A fine historic arion _/^ e would say : " a _bsauti / al _legend : a messing sang to send men to sleep , like the true and tragical _hisxory of Cock _Bcbin channted to children . ** He was wont to chuckle mightily at tbe passage—a fine stretch of fancy he wonld call it—about " selling or deferring i * _istice . " and vol * " it ought to be written in blood-red

"Becaase it ought ta be trui-, _** he would say , "they think it is . "
The article entitled ' * Criminals , " is ably writien . Truly does the writer aaj , " The distribution Ql the _affurs of this world seems such a tangled web of _surbitary arrangements—good and evil , right and wrong—that we cannot penetrate to the principle ¦ which governs it . " Of Criminals it is well said , It is -with those men who have not become actual criminals that any interference can bemads with any rational hope of doing tbem good . When a man has once been convicted of an offence against life and property , he is a marked nun for the remainder of his days—a social Cain , whom ail who come near avoid . * * * * So much the more imperative 13 it on all to endeavonr to _fecp theu from evil , to p reB 5 . it that which , when it onee occurs , is _inettievable in its consequences .

The Almanack Of The Month. Acocsr. Londm...
THE ALMANACK OF THE MONTH . _Acocsr . Londm : Punch Office , 85 , Fleet-Street _, j The absurdities ofthe month are admirably hit off in this capital" review of every thing and everybody . " " A voice from a tub" introduces us to our old friend Diogenes , who , leaving his tub , commences " ascamper throush . the world , " and favours the readers of tbe " Almanack" with his observations on the sights "he witnessed during the first morning of his pilgrimage : — I went into the town ; the shutters were all closed ; every street was fast asleep . 1 could hear one or two bouses snoring quite loud , yet the sun was shining most beautiful I felt inclined to ring all the bells and pull all tbe _kaoekers , and begin bawling out " Fire ! " How suddenly awake the whole town would have besn !
I saw a little boy throwing pebbles at a window . He eould not be mere than fifteen . _Presentl y , the window was thrown up , a nightcap was thrust out and drawn in . The street door was slyly opened , tbe boy stole in oa tiptee , the mother said not a word , the father slept on _uncsHscionsly , and everything was as quiet as before . A light soon afterwards appeared in the top window . A candle burning in the broad daylight ! Fit emblem , 1 thought , of the boy's career . I examined the shops . In most streets a _pablic-hsuse ; ' ia several more than one . They abounded principally at 1 the corners of thoroughfares—a sure sign I was in a ' town of gossips . People lotttr at * e corners , say all 1 they have to say , and then go in to drink each _othtr ' _a 1 health onlv " health" is the wrong- word for it .
Three shops , which followed one another , interested J me _wonderfully . They w * re , firstap * iWic . he _« 5 e , th «; na 1 pawnbroker ' s , then an undertaker ' s . What an Epic ! I t ttoughf , the beginning , the middle , and the end . Why 1 not have knocked the three shops into one ? One dooT ' would hare _snffired for the three ! I noticed my friend of the cbalk-pit leaving little mea . S sures of his cetaceous mixture at several houses . At 0 one , tiiere was an old man with grey hairs , evidently » waiting to be let in with the milk . He was leaningto a
[ 1 post , and was humming something about not going home ti till morning . His waistcoat was fastened by a single b fcntton , his stock was turned round , bis hat looked as dis-6 _sipa't _^ as himself , and lake bim all in all—Which I S should be very sorry to do—he looked like what I can fi fancv _Silenus to have been in his old age . Tbe door _Diopeiled , and a voung child came running oat , half unit _dreswd laughed , threw his little arms round tbe old ii can ' * neck , and , _tossmg bim , called him « Father .

The Family Herald. Pari 39. London G. Bi...
THE FAMILY HERALD . Pari 39 . London G . Biggs , 421 , Strand . The great attraction of this Part of the Family Herald is the commencement of ihe new French tafe from the pen of Eugene Sue , entitled "Martin the Foundling ; or the Adventures of a Valet de Chambre . " The first five chapters are exceedingly interesting and give promise of a work second to none of M . Sue ' s productions . We anticipate that the author's object is to exhibit the abominations of tlie present social system , especially as exhibited in the _Tices ofthe idle classes , and the misery of the French peasantry . We perceive that the evils ofthe present system of game laws in France will be
exposed with a searching and unsparing pen . Lastly we anticipate in this tile a developement of the author ' s ideas of that social revolution which in his previous works he has demanded and championised . Suoh a work will commend itself to the mends of progress , and will naturally commend its channel of communication to the English public , the _ictt » % Herald . The other contents of this Part are as usual excellent . We hare no room for extracts , neverthe less __ we must give the followins short and simple receipt selected from the weekly budget of "Family Matters ; " at the present time its extensive publicity must be useful ; even shauld it in some cases fail it is to * simple to do harm , and at least deserves a trial where the occasion exists : —
_DUSKHOZA . —A certain cure for this complaint is foarid in rice water . Bull the rice , take the water , make it palatable with salt , and drink it copiously while warm . We never knew this simple thing to fail .

The muUons a . _toug tno line of precession were filled with ladies and gentlemen , while every rising mound was covered with spectators . St . _DivYid's-street , which slopingly fronts the monument , and commands a complete view of it , presented a most animating appearance . A dense mass of human beings , closely wedged together , occupied th * entire street , the foreground of which was relieved by a range of carriages filled chiefly by ladies , waiting to witness the inauguration .
According to previous arrangement , the procession left the High School at a quarter past two , by which time the weather broke up , and the sun ' s rays enlivened tbe scene . The centre ef tbe line of route was kept clear by a large detachment of the 3 rd Dragoons , whose services were very effective . The procession was headed by tbe band of the 3 rd Dragoons , followed by the Auxiliary Scott Committee , the Scott Monument Committee , the Magistrates of _eastern _Portsburgh , western Portsburgb , Canongate , Musselburgh , Portobello , Leltb , and Ellinburgh , the members of which corporations were attired in their robes of office , and were attended by their suite . Then followed the Masonic bodies , whose rear was brought up by the Grand Lodge of Scotland , decked out
in all tbe blazonry of freemasonry . A mounted escort of Dragoons completed tbe procession , which arrived at the monument at abont a quarter to three . The different parts of tbe precession having taken ap the places as . signed to tbem in the pleasure grounds , in which the monument is reared , at a signal given , a salute was fired by a detachment of tbe Royal Artillery , who were stationed on the sontheen bank ofthe gardens , opposite the monument . Oa the report of the first gun , the large canvass screen whieh bad completely hid the statue of Scott , was withdrawn on the instant . As the beautiful outline of the representation of the illustrious deceased burst on tbe view , tbe assembled thousands gave vent to their pent-up feelings by one loud and long continued huzza , which made the welkin ring for several minutes .
The usual masonic _ceremoaies having been gone through , which occupied about half an hour , Lord _Glenlyon and the Lord Provost addressed tbe company , after whicb , the procession returned to the High School . The style of the _mounmeat is gothie , and is designed in the form of an open cross , the spire of which is 190 feet ia height . Under a groined arch in the lower portion of the building is the statue of Scott , executed in Carrara marble _byilr . Steel , who has depicted with the . utmost fidelity the features of the celebrated dead . Sir Walter ia represented in a sitting attitude , with tbe ample folds 0 f > .

The Murder At Dagesham.—On Sunday And Mo...
The Murder at Dagesham . —On Sunday and Monday considerable excitement was caused at Dagenham , Romford , by a report that five of the police constables stationed at Dagenham , including the serjeant , Par eons , had been apprehended by _SuperintendeDtPearee and other officers of the detective police , on a charge of being concerned in the murder of the unfortunate man Clarke . The following were ascertained to be the facts . At the inquest , it will be remembered that a considerable portion ofthe time of the coroner was taken up with inquiring whether Serjeant Parsons was on duty on the night the unfortunate man , Clarke , was murdered , which inquiry was caused by one of the constables stating to Mrs . Page { a principal witness ) that he did duty for the serjeant on the night in question . The
constable denied that he had made use of such a remark ; but thc jury , after a most patient _investigation , were of opinion that he had ; Serjeant Parsons bringing forward witnesses who saw him on duty at twelve o'clock on the night of the 29 th , and at one o'clock and three o'clock on the morning of the _30 th of June , when Clarke was missed . This _evidence was given at the last meeting of the jury , and the eoroner said they were all satisfied that Parsons had done his duty in a proper manner . Among the witnesses examined on the first meeting of the jury were constables Kimpton and Butfoy , who spoke to finding thc body ef the deceased ; the latter throwing suspicion on some parties living at Romford . On Saturday last Butfoy attended the examination of the parties brought before the magistrate at l _» o * d
on the charge of being concerned in the muwer 01 Clarke , aiid subsequently he returned to the station at Dagenham , but on being wanted to go on duty he was absent It was ascertained that he had been to Scotland-vard , and stated to the commissioners that the whole of the evidence that had been given by the police hefore the coroner was untrue . Superintendent Pearceand other officers of the detective police were immediately sent to Dagenham . After an investigation , Seijeant Parsons , with Constables llickton , Kimpton . Farns , and Butfoy , were ordered into custody , the superintendent foelin » it his duty to resort to harsh measures , as gross perjury had been _committe-i by some one . On Monday an investigation into the circumstances was gone into before tbe commissioners at Scotland-vard , but the result could not be ascertained .

IRELAND . THE REPEALERS . Thk "Natiow" and the _Charttsm . — -In the Nation of Saturday the followinz appears among the notices to correspondents . — ** We hare receired a printed address from the Chartists of England to the Irish people , with a request that we should insert it in tho Nation . "We desire no fraternisation between the Irish people and tbe Chartists—not on acCOUllt Of the bugbear of " physical force , " but simply because some of their five points are to us an abomination , and the whole spirit and tone of their proceedings , though well enough for England , are so essentially _Engluh that their adoption in Ireland would neither be probable nor at all desirable . Between us and them there is a gnlf fixed , * we desire not to bridge it over , but to make it wider and deeper . "
_Dt-BLIY , August VI . _Rupim . _Absocutios . —The usual weekly meeting was held this day in the Conciliation Hall . On the motion of Mr . O'Connell , seconded by Mr . N . Maher IU * .. the Chair was taken by _Jojenh Henry Dunne ' jun . Esq . The Chairman , on taking his seat , ad - dressed _thetneeting . The minutes of the last day ' s proceedings were next read , and Mr . O'Connell moTed a vote of thanks to the Mayor of Limerick , and the other gentlemen from whom the address and remittance of a considerable sum of money had been received . Mr . O'Connell next said that be had to announce that 50 , 000 signatures had been affixed to a petition _againscjtke Arras Bill now before Parliament . He bad to more that the petition be not forwarded , for he was happy to be assured that the government , in accordance with the suggestion ofthe wishes of the Irish people , had consented to give up tho bill . ( Tremendous cheering . )
Mr . J . O'Connell rose and handed in some remit tances from Manchester , and took occasion to advert to some disturbances at a p _<* acei ' ol repeal meeting in that town by the advocates of violence . Mr . O'Connell said he was afraid that there were several bad Irishmen in Manchester . It _was'the focus of the Ribbon conspiracy , and he hoped all the real friends of Ireland would help him to discover and denounce that conspiracy . Mr . J . O'Connell rose again , and stated that Lord John Russell wai that night to bring the st ; ue of the people of Ireland before parliament , and to state the
measures he thought large enough for their relief . He , on thc part of Ireland , said that though the Irish people ought to be thankful for tbe kindliness of the people of England , yet he must say that that relief was a very small portion of the sums of which Ireland had been robbed by the baleful Union . Mr . Ray next read a letter , speaking the sentiments of the Right Hon . Lord Ffrench , and his family , and againBt Young Ireland . Mr . N . V . " Maher , M . P ., read a letter from Dean M'Donnell , of _Caahel , enclosing upwards of £ 16 , subscriptions of several of the clergy of that Archdiocese 1 .
Mr . J . O'Connell then read the following letter from Mr . W . Smith O'Brien , M . P . a-• ' Dublin , _Ausast 11 th , 181 B . "Mr Dbas Mx . Rat , —When , up ; n this day fortnight , I retired froin Conciliation Hall , with a viow to put an end to a scene which was h >> t !* _v _& _distrusting to those who witnessed it titan injurious to tht cause of Ireland , and disparaging to the character of Irigiimen , I indulged a confident hope that Mr . O'Connell would tie enabled , upun his renin , to adopt guuh liimistirua ss would restore _harnii'My in the _Rtjieal _Asaociat _' on , and re-unite the efforts of Repealers in every part ol * the kingdom . Tbis hope has b « en _disapp-jintad . Although unwilling to _suy anything which can tend to wi _^ _aii the broach which has taken place in aur _ranks , I tVi that entire silence
upon mv part might be comtrupd as acquiescence in the late _proceedings ot' the _Uepral _Assuci _.-uion .

I admire it for the extraordinary vigour of its style , for the dazzling splendour of its prose , and for the glowing beauty of its verse ; for the absence of * that scurrility by whieh modern journalism Is disgraced ; but above all , for its burning enthusiasm in tha cause of Ireland . I sincerely believe that the aim of its writers has been to raise Ireland to her _propsr station amongst the nations of the earth by the attainment of national institutions , and by the mental elevation of her people to make ber renowned in literature and science , in arts , and in arms—to protect
and uplift tbe poor , without injuring tbe rich—to inspire patriotic sentiment without demanding servility of opinion—to combine respect for _religion with enlightened toleration of adverse creeds—to unite the people of this land in one great glorious _confederation , and upon the basis of such a confederation to plant the standard of Irish freedom , supported on the 0 : 1 a hand by loyalty to the Queen of tlm empire , and , on the other , by the wisdom , virtue , and eourage of an Irish Parliament . Believing that the Nation has renieied incalculable service to the cause of Repeal , I cannot but deeply regret ite sevcrence from the Repeal Association , If this proscription should have thc effecc of destroying the journal , Ireland ' s cause will have lost one of its most efficient advocates . It * on the contrary , it . should be sustained by the public iu
honourable independence , tbe Repeal Association will have voluntarily thrown away no inconsiderable portion of moral influence by losing its indirect control over a powerful organ of public opinion . I regret much that it has been thought necessary to subject to unfriendly and ungenerous criticism every expression which has appeared in tlie columns of this newspaper . If every ar tide writtsn in the Repeal journals of Ireland—if every speech made by the advocates of Repeal in the time of political excitement were in _lUse manuer to be subjected to sinister interpretation , who amongst us could escape censure 1 At a period when a popular outbi eak was really to be apprehended , it might have heen proper to have adopted coercive measures to restrain the use of menacing language ; but , assuredly , at no period during the last three years has there been less pretext than at present for
interlering with the _independence of the Repeal press , either with a _riew to protect the Repeal Association from legal snares , or to prevent the Irish people from striving to attain a repeal Ofthe union by means of p hysical force . Por my part , although I have felt it to be my duty to defend men wbo bave been unjustly assailad , and , in doing so , have cheerfully sacrificed that popularity and' leadership' which itis supposed that I covet so much . I firmly repudiate that I aro desirous of encouraging the people of Ireland to struggle for their legislative freedom by an appeal to arms * , but , on the other hand , I will not _consent to pamper tbo pride of England , or to encourage ber oppression of my country , by telling her that the Irish people have for ever forsworn the use of the sword , as tbe final vindication ofher national liberties . A multitude of painful reflections suggest themselves to my mind in
connexion with tbe recent proceedings of the repeal as * sociation ; but , as the expression of them would exasper . ate rather than allay dissension , I shall add no more than tbat I disclaim all participation in a course of policy which seems to me calculated to defeat the consummation of our hopes at the very moment when wo were upon the ere of a final and glorious victory . _Icannot conclude this letter , however , without _reuewing to you , _individually , the assurance of my unfeigned esteem ; and also gladly avail myself of this opportunity of gratefully acknowledging tbe uniform respect and kindness with which I have been treated , not only by Mr . O'Connell and his family , but also every member of the association with whom I have been brought into personal communication since my accession to the repeal confederacy . —I remain , tny dear Mr . Ray , your ' s very sincerely , «• T . il . Ray , Esq / ' " William S . _CBbi-SK . "
Mr . _O'Coj-NELLsaid , that thero was much in this letter in which he could not coincide , He did not underrate the services of Mr . O'Brien , and would sacrifice _' " * everything but principle in order to induce him to return to them . lie had a letter from Cork , which deplored the secession of Mr . O'Brien . In that sentiment he agreed , * but he could not invoke Mr . O'Brien to return whilst he maintained his physical force principle . That made tlieir reunion impossible . It would subject them to the charge of high treason . This he said as a veteran lawyer , and as counsel for Ire _' . and . ( llear , bear . ) There must be no physical force doctrine in their _proceedings . The Cork people supposed that this made no difference , hut he ( Mr . O'Connell ) insisted that it just made the difference between hanging and succeeding in their great object . ( Hear , hear . ) The learned gentleman then enforced his favourite theory of moral force revolution , and deprecated the use ol the sword in the strongest terms . He would have
nothing to do with force , but he would with moral agitation . ( Hear , hear . ) It was by this that lie had conquered emancipation ; and , hy the same means , be would again succeed for Ireland , ( lieav , hear . ) He then ridiculed the _traiic-do of the young Ireland party , who were only so ready to _fiQ-hl , because no fighting was near . ( Laughter . ) As to Mr . O'Brien _, if lie would only throw away his sword , tliey would gladly receive him ; but on no other terms . He ( Mr . O'Connell ) had ever condemned the rebellion of 1798 . but for that rebellion the English Government could never have carried the union , In short , he was the declared enemy ofall physical force . * VYe had a Government most favourable to Ireland , and be hoped much from them ; but he did not hope thnt they would be able to supersede tho necessity for repeal . The Repea l Association , at all _eveuts , should not stand in their way . Tliey _i-honld have a fair trial ; and when they failed , the Association would still remain to agitate and have nothing to reproach themselves with . ( Hear , hear . )

THE REPEALERS . _rovso _lnBiAxmsu at siiKssst . It appears from a statement in the Kilkenny Mode rator , that a portion ofthe Kilkenny Repealers are in favour of the Young Ireland party . A meeting was held at the Tholsel a few days ago , for the purpose of considering the best means of supporting the Nation newspaper . Aldermen Cain and Potter wero at the meeting , and the former addressed thc a _^ sem _btyat great _tength : and though in his gpeech he
endeavoured to inculcate the maxim * of union and firm confederation amongst all repealers , he yet openly announced his determination that if the KaUon waa excluded by the Repeal Association , he would subscribe for it , and at his own expence supply it to the St . Mary ' s Repeal Reading-room . The further consideration of the question was ultimately postponed to Thursday evening next , in order that before comiDg to any decided resolution it might first be seen whether the Association would reallv exelude the Young Ireland organ .
Anti-Slavery League Meeting. Monday Even...
_ANTI-SLAVERY LEAGUE MEETING . Monday evening a meeting of the members of this ociety took place st the Crown and Anchor . Among thu gentlemen present we natieed J . Haughton , Dublin ; William Howitt , Esq ., Rev . Dr . Thomson , H . 0 . Wright , bo . George Thompson , Esq . in the chair . The _CuAinMAH , on taking the chair , said a few words would be _tufficient to explain the . circumstance * nhioh led to this meeting . At an anti-slavery meeting ,. which wm held at Glasgow , it was resolved to invite Mr . ' Garnison to come to thi ? country to aid tbe friends of humanity to overthrow slavery all over the world . That gentleman accepted the invitation ; and at a meeting ,
which was held last Monday , It was determined to form an Anti-Slavery League , composed of persons who sympathised with tho « e in America who were exerting themselves to accomplish the abolition of slavery In that country . Tlieir main object was to act in imitation of another league which had accomplished a great victory . ( Hear , hear . ) Everyone , of every sect , was invited to become members _, ! for which , all that was required was to _taka a card of membership , which would be given on tbe payment of one ' shilling :, which would form a fund to defray expenses , It was alio _thought desirable that a public meeting should be held , tbat they might bare the advantage of hearing those gentlemen , who had come to this country , explain the state of tbe _snti-slavery cause in the United States .
Mr . Jambs Haughton , of Dublin , proposed the following _resolution : — " That we extend the right band of fellowship to "William Lloyd Garnlson , the undaunted and steadfast pioneer in tha cause ot universal emancipation ; to C . Henry _Wrijrbt , the unwearied advocate of the rights of humanity ; and to Prederick Douglass , the selfemancipated bondman , and eloquent assertor of the Claims ofhis brethren _stfll in chains , and do pledge ourselves to render all tbe aid in our power to these gentle * men , and thair devoted coadjutors in the prosecution of their holy purposes , for the extinction of Americas slavery . " Mr . W . Lovett having seconded the resolution , Tha Rev . Mr . _Histon suid he had risen nnder a painful _nwcessiiy to object to the resolution , as he was the friend ol the American nnd Foreign _AntUSlnvery Soeiety , _,-ind it was only on that account tbat he inter _, posed his dissent , that it _might not be supposed that thc resolution had pissed unnn _' momly . with
The resolution was then put , and _^ carriel I ' ve dissentient voieos . Mr . C . If . _Wright said there ¦ were three millions ot slaves in America , a country which held that all ni ' . n were entitled to civil Freedom . He wag the advocate of ihn > 8 millions of slaves in a _sl-ive-fio'dlns ; _rr-pnWic . These three _millions of men were held &\ chatties , and were bought and sold as such . He would ash , " bad any man such a ri _^ ht in his fellow man by t !; c law of God _?—tKo . no . ) Ammur these three millions marriage could not Be legally contracted . Tbey could not be witnesses in a court of law , nor a party in a suit . Who were responsible for this statt of things 1 What were Jaws but so much parchment ! They _thf-n alleged the peculiar institution of slavery . They wished to shift the responsibility to that , ; but it was not the law , nor the institution of slavery , which was responsible , but the men who upheld it . ne then wentontostateavariety of acts
of severity practised by _slave-owneru , soma of whom even shot tbeir slaves who had absconded , which had been defended by ministers of religion , who held that the parties had a right to do what they pleased wilh their own properly . He should conclude by moving the second resolution ;— " That we regard with feelings of profound sorrow and humiliation , the state of the American churches in relation to the question of slavery , and would earnestly implore the various religious denominations of that country to _discbarga in all Christian fidelity , tbe duty of admonishing _thoae professing Christians in America , who practise , or in anywise plead for tbe existence of tbe foul abomination in tbeir midst , who reduce the image of God to the condition of a chattel and a brute , and condemn to ignorance and perpetual bondage those for whom God died . " Mr . Wm . L . Gaknison seconded the resolution . The resolution was then unanimously agreed to .
Mr . Fkedehick Douglass Baid they had beard tbat free coloured men were imprisoned in the Southern Slates , but they had not heard the reason . It was to prevent the prop _.-igation of their freo opinions , and that the influence of these men of colour might induce the slaves to rebel _against their masters . After a striking expose of the horrors of slavery , he concluded by moving the following resolution : — "Thnt the American slaveholders , with their abtttors and apologists , are to be charged with denying God as the beneficent _Craator and common father of the humanrace , and the gospel of Ciirist , as of universal obligation and value ,
with perpetrating _hi-atbenism under the penalties of law , with _overthrowing themarriageinstitution _. and destroying all parental and filial relations by legalising the traffic in slaves and the souls of men , and with exalting the manstcaler above all that is called good . Hence it is the sacred duty of the friends of freedom throughout tha world to bear their testimony against all such , as the enemies of mankind , and to combine , in every suitable way , for the _overihrow Of that execrable system which , sustained as it is in tho name of Christianity and Republicanism , strengthens the power of tyrants , and _obstructs the progress of liberty in all countries . "
The resolution was seconded by the Rev . Mr . Solley , and agreed to . Mr . H . _ViscTS ** _-r then proposed , in au eloquent speech , the following resolution : — "That tbe existence of slavery in the United States has strengthened the eause of despotism throughou t tbe world , and this meeting earnestly appeals to the people of America to be faithful to their own declaration of rights , and to decree the extinction of this horrible sin ; and that the despot may no longer be able to point to America as a proof of the failure of Democracy , and thus divert attention from the discussion of principles which are ultimately to establish democratic freedom to all nations . " The resolution was agreed to , and after thc customary vote of thanks to the chair , the meeting separated .

Serious Accident a ? Hammersmith . —Last _evening an accident , of a serious character , took place at the Broadway , Hammersmith . Shortly before eleven o ' clock a splendid horse , drawing a _"Brougham , proceeded along the road from Kew towards London , having no one inside , and no driver on the box .

At the time the accident occurred , there were still seven or eight persons remaining in the vehicle , all
of whom , from the concussion , were thrown together with considerable violence , some of them _receivine bruises . The pole of the omnibus was broken off , one of the horses so severely injured , that it will be found necessary to slaughter him , and the other had one of his legs broken in several places . Neither the Brougham , nor thc horse drawing it , sustained any injury beyond a slight abrasion of the skin . Up to twelve o ' clock it had not been ascertained to whom the carriage belonged , or what occasioned the starting ofthe horso . Both the horse and carriage were stowed away in the stables adjoining the Sussex Aims .

B _*? 83 iav _CivmsATios . —It is positivel y stated that a Russian nobleman , married to a French'lady _« f rank , was caught the other day , by the lady ' s brother administering a severe _thrashing to his wife . Justly indignant , the brother seised the Muscovite and shook htm violently . The- Russian appeared perfectly astonished at anv one presuming to interfere when he was beating his wife—it was hia right , he said . A married Russian lady , who came in at the moment , also as 9 ured the brother that it was quite a matter of course for a wife tobe drubbed by the husband when she didn't please hira ; and to show ihat she . was perfectly serious , added tbat her husband often thrashed her . But these Muscovite proof of affection were not at all to the _tasto ofthe brother , and he accordingly removed his sister to her father ' s house . Tlw affair has excited considerable sensation ; but it is chiefly interesting m showing the wry advanced state of civilisation of the Rusiian aristocracy .

The young man proceeded towards the Boulevards so rapidly , thatthe doctor was obliged to call to him to moderate his pace . The young man , however , still kept on , and Dr . D soon lost sight of him . Not knowing what to do , the doctor waited awhile ; but , as no one came to intimate where the patient was to be found , he resolved to return home ,
naturally supposing that if he was wanted lie should be sent for . Upon arriving at home , ha was surprised to find that his wife had not come back . A night passed over , and _atiil no wife ; and , after various inquiries amongst the lady ' s friends without effect , the doctor applied to the authorities . Tlie investigation which was set on foot gives _reastn to Mieve that the lady left Paris the same evening , in company with a foreigner , in the train fur Brussels or _Ostend . Nothing , nowever , is yet known of the mysterious affair with any degree of certainty . _Smithfirld Market is to be further enlarged .

were evidently members of the connection , together with a large concourse of persons , _whem the novelty ofthe scene brought together , were accommodated _fm-ms . After occasional short addresses from their elevated position , the preachers walked in procession , followed by the audience , to a short distance , where they knelt down in a circle . The elder then commenced with a prayer in the centre , and wns followed extemporaneously and promiscuously by many ofthe audience , interrupted ,. however , frequently by the loudest ejaculations of the wildest enthusiasm . The _reliijiovis ceremonies were interspersed with a variety of singing , in wliich the psalmody was popularised to some of our most modern song tunes , the " Huntsman ' s chorus , " and " Buy a broom , " being prominent .
