CABtlSXJS . —Fkadulenx Affaib—A Warsisg to Chabtisis . —Some time previous to tie late strike , a person came into this locality to live . During the great excitement at the strike , he put himself forward as a Stirling Chartist and democrat , and took every means in his power to persuade the people to strike work . He unjustly denounced the leading members of the Council of the Chartist Association , because they wished the people to remain at their work . He went about propagating all Borts of falsehoods and base insinuations against them ; and finally succeeded in bringing some of them into disrepute with the people , whom they had long and faithfully served , and who were very blamable in thus listening to and confiding in a
stranger , "who had nothing to recommend him to them , bat his violence . He and others finally succeeded in persuading the people to strike werk , got himself elevated as chairman of the trades' delegates , the whole of whom he would have caused to be arrested , but for the caution and shrewdness of some of the more active members of the Council ; who , seeing the danger that" Mb ignorance and violence were likely to involve them in , very wisely prevented it . At the last quarterly meeting of the members of the Chartist Association , he impudently came forward , and in a most foolish and violent speech , charged many , indeed the whole of the members of the Council with T > ocketing and misapplying the people ' s money . This base and false charge was completely upset , by the balance sheet , which gave a faithful account of the income and expenditure . He then made other charges against
some members of the Council , all of which were proved to be equally groundless with the one to which we have just alluded . In conBequtnce of some of the memoes 8 attaching themselves to this fellow , nearly the whole of the old members of the Council retired , after having served the people for many years . A new Council was then chosen , of which this same individual was a member , and in this capacity persuaded a number of his dupes to alJow him a certain sum of money and he would supply them with the Northern Star . This he did for a number of weeks , bat seeing no opportaaity of obtaining a larger sum , he absconded with upwards of £ 1 belonging to a number of poor hard-working men , who had subscribed it for . the purpose of getting the Northern Star . Had they adhered to its advioe , they would not have thus placed confidence in a stranger .
SHEFFIELD . Thb Bakks . —We having nothing particular to communicate this week . It is stated that the liabilities of Messrs . Parker and Shore ' s Bank amount to £ 650 , 000 , and that tnere is about £ 700 , 000 due to the bank , besides available property belonging to the partners , to the amount of about £ 200 , 000 ; bat the question arises , how many of the parties indebted to the bank will be able to make good in full the demands that will be made upon them ? We are of opinion taking into consideration'the present state of the town , that a great many of the parties , ¦ wb are inclined to think a majority , will , when called upon , be found to be insolvent . It now appears that Messrs . Parker and Co ., all but stopped payment
two months ago , at which time they refused payment of & check for £ 1 , 800 which had been given by the overseers of the poor , on account of the county rate , the cause of Buch Tefasal 13 of course well understood now . Among the many evils already produced by the stoppage of the Old Bank , we may mention that a married woman , whose name we omit to give , who had been told by herhusbaud to withdraw some hundreds of pounds they had in—from the bank , and had neglected to do so , was so excited on learning of the stoppage as to be induced to take poison ; happily medical assistance was procured in time and the woman recovered . We understand thai one or two work 3 have already closed and that others are expected to close in consequence of the stoppage .
Represeniation op Sheffield . —It is rumoured that Mr . John Parker , our liberal and bullet-loving M . P ., son of Mr . Hngh Parker , one of the principal partners in the Old Bank , is likly to retire from Parliament . The stoppage of the Bank and his acceptance of the office oi steward of the Court of Bequests , conferred npon him by the Duke of Norfolk , are matters likely to cut short his future career as a legislator . To be forewarned is to be forearmed , and should a vacancy in the representation occur , we hope the Sheffield Chartists will be on the alert , and prove to the Editor of the Independent and his patrons , that the Chartists are not the "dormant" party be takes them to be .
Catlin ' s Lecidees . — Mr . Cafclin , the famous North American traveller , has been lecturing in Sheffield for some weeks past , on the condition and customs of the North American Indians . We heard him on the evenings of Thursday and Friday last , Jan . 19 and 20 . His first lecture was on the history , religion , and warlike customs of the " Bed men of the Prairies . " His second lecture was on their social condition , habits , &c . Having spent eight years among , and in the course of that time made himself fully acquainted with the character and mode of life of this interesting people , he could epeak confidently in praise of this race so much abused by living writers , as being barbarous , treacherous and bloodthirsty savages . He showed that the real
savages \ rere the Europeans and Anglo Americans , that under the guise of civilization and Christianity the white men had introduced crime , rapine , disease and death among the unsuspecting tribes of the Prairies . His descriptions of the annihilation of whole tribes by the introduction of small pox and other diseases among them by the white men , excited the liveliest feelings of pity ; while his description of the misery and crime wrought by those incarnate devils calling themselves Christians—the rum and whiskey sellers , called up corresponding feelingB of dipgust and indignation . The lectures were illustrated at different points by the introduction on the stage of living characters clad in the splendid and classical dresses : worn by the differeat tribes inhabiting the neighbourhood of the Rocky Mountains . Each lecture was
followed by a series of magnificent tableaux vivanls illustrating their mode of warfare and social life customs . The enthusiastic applause of the audience each evening testified their approval and delight . Mr . Catlin is at present lecturing in Derby ; from there he is expected to proceed to Leeds , and we are informed purposes visiting the principal towns in the North of England and Scotland . We hope that wherever class legislation has left the working classes the means of procuring amusement—( blended in thia instance with instruction ) , they will not fail to afford to Mr . Catlin their patronage ; we assure them they will be delighted with the entertainment . Mr . Catlin g s lectures breathe the very essence , and pure spirit of truth and freedom , and should be heard and studied by all who love their fellow men , and would " mat the world better yet . "

Howo-Kojvg Post-office . —A large number of letters passed tbrongh th ,- Falmouth post-office on the arriv . al of the last overland mail , bearing the Hong-Kocg Post office stamp . The stamp was of an oval form , with the Royal Arms . Around the edge of the stamp were the words " Hong-Kong Post-office . " The stamp was of a red colour and without any date . Pulling a Ladv ' s NosE . —The only case heard at the county petty sessions , on Saturday , was a complaint lodged by a daate in humble life , against one Webster , a labourer ob the railway , the gist of which was , that the defendant had pulled her nose to such a degree that , she eould not wipe it comfortably for a week . The only defence was the old abomination , drunkenness ; and , considering that the assault was a very cowardly one , the magistrates fined tbe defendant in 2 ? s . 6 U , including costs , which be was required to pay in a week , er go to the treadmill . — Lancaster Gazette .

" It has been also ascertained , that the mothers of five other substantial citizens are in the house ; and Captain Nowlan threatens to parade them all in an open carriage through the town , and leave them at the doors of their unfeeling children .
Melaij ^ holy Incident . —On the 21 st of October , when the Clutha , from Grreenock for Bombay , was in latitude two deg . SO min . south , longitude 65 deg . east , one of the boys fell from the bowsprit into the sea . Captain Nainsuiith , the commandet , who witnessed the aocident , instantly leaped overboard , taking with him a rope made fast to the ship . He caught the boy , but unfortunately , at the same time , let go the rope . The vessel , which had considerable way on her at the Fame time , soon drifted past . A boat was launched , however , and , on reaching the spot , the boy was found floating , apparently lifeless , but the captain had disappeared . The boy was taken on board , and , after considerable exertions , was restored to consciousness . The first words he uttered were exclamations of grief for the fate of his master , who had saved his life at the expence of his own . Captain Nainsmith , who was a native of Port Glasgow , was a most promising youog seaman . — Greenock paper .
Conversion ^—Some sensation has been created amongst the dissenting sects of Rochdale by the recent conversion of Mr * Phelp , the minister of the Unitarian chapel , Blackwater-street , to the Church of England . It would seem that Mr , Phelp Was engaged upon a work in opposition to the doctrines of the Trinity , and that , in the course of his researches , instead of meeting with the evidence to support the Unitarian belief , bis convictionr were opened to the truth of the Trinity . At length , finding that he could doubt no longer , he sought the spiritual advice and assistance of the worthy vicar , and has ended by renouncing his former errors , and publicly avowing himself a convert to the doctrines of the church . We understand that Mr . Phelp purposes preparing and duly offering himself as a candidate for holy orders in the church .
Dangerous Csurtship . —At the Shropshire county petty sessions , Thomas Davies charged John James and William Jones with assaulting and ducking him in a pood . From the evidence it appeared that THomas Davis is paying his addresses to a Miss Ann Jones , and that he had been admitted into the house , where he remained , to the great disappointment of the other candidates for the smiles of the fair nymph ; and the enamoured T . Davis having boosted of the favourable reception he received caused hisrivals to be jealous , and watching the said Thomas , when he was making another visit to his fair , they threw
him into a pool near the Corve . Miss Ann in a great measure corroborated the statement , and said she was quite pleased with her dear Thomas , and did not want to have anything to do with tbe " other chapB" —she should not think of " sich a thing ;" Thomas was the man for her ; and if he did boast of tbe favourable reception she gave him , he had a right to do so , and she did not like him a bit the worse for that . The case caused considerable laughter . The defendants were mulcted in the oosts , and Thomas Davies and the fair Ann Jones loft the court together quite happy , to the great mortification of the unfortunate rivals . —Wolverhampton Chronicle .
Curious Chabgb of Opening a Posted Letter . —At the Bristol sessions , Mary Crewe , a young woman employed in the post-office receiving-house , at Cathay , was charged with having opened a letter in that office . The prosecutor , Mr . Geo . Bridges , an old gentleman , eighty-six years of age , stated that on the 31 st of October last , between nine and ten o ' clock at night , he put into the box a letter containing a money-order for his son at Merthyr , and that on afterwards looking through the window , he saw the prisoner moisten the wafer with her finger , open the letter , and read it . He then went in the office and demanded tbe letter , which was Dlaced in his hand with tbe order in it . The paper was then , he
said , quite moist . Mr . Smith , who appeared for the prisoner , called witnesses to show that the wafer of another letter , one brought by a young man from Mr . Hazell's , grocer , having started , the young woman wetted it with her finger , in order to refix it ; that th& prisoner had been in her situation since 1838 , bore an excellent chxracter , and was very attentive to her duties . It was also stated by Mr . Brigges that his sight was not so good as it was forty years ago . After a powerful and affecting address from the learned counsel , the Jury , who a&idtbey would not trouble the recorder ( Sir C . Wetherell , ) to sum up , immediately returned a verdict" Not guilty . " The prisoner fainted during the trial .
Burning of Devizes Mechanics' Institution , and Loss OF Life . —On Saturday afternoon an inquest was held , in the Town-hall . Devizes , before a Jury of eighteen respectable inhabitants of the town , on view of the body of Charles Brewer , aged twentyfour , who lost his life at the late dreadful fire which , on the morning of Saturday last , occasioned the total destruction of the Mechanics' Institution , situate in New Park-street , besides other valuable property . The circumstances under which the deceased lost his life were as follow : —During the morning , while the firemen were turning over the ruins , for the purpose of more effectually extinguishing the fire , the basement gave way , and precipitated several persons
into the cellars beneath—all of whom , however , were soon extricated without receiving severe injuries , except the unfortunate deceased , who got buried up to his nick in red-hot bricks . In this deplorable condition he remained a length of time , no person venturing to go to his assistance until his cries attracted the attention of two gentlemen , who instantly jumped into the cellar and hauled him out . He , however , was shockingly burnt—so much so that he died oft Thursday . Tne Jury , after a short consultation , returned a yerdict of " Accidental death . " The amount of property consumed , was estimated at from £ 2000 to £ 4000 , part of which will fall on the Sun , Norwich Union , and another insurance offices .
New South Wales . — By a vessel arrived from Sydney we have dates to the 3 d of September , a few days later than previous advices . ' The 19 th report of tbe Commercial Banking Company had been published , from which it appeared , that though from the depressed condition of the colony the capital did sot yield so large an amount of profit as formerly , a lucrative business had , nevertheless , been transacted , returning a dividend for the half-year of about 6 per cent . To make this profit , stated at £ 13 , 942 , divisible among the proprietary at the rate of 6 per cent ., a sum of about £ 650 would have to be taken from the surplus fund , which would , however , be subsequently repaid in almost double proportion by the receipt of remittances from England
not expected to arrive in time to be included in the balance sheet then presented . This dividend had been declared , ana a reduction of 2 per cent , on the rate of discount to the publio assented to , with the view of giving relief to the necessities of the colony . The Legislative Assembly was sitting , but the measures under discussion were not of any great importance . In some quarters it is alleged trade continued to improve , but the Sydney Gazette of the 3 d says" General business cannot be said . to have exhibited a state of healthy activity yet , nof to have made a single step towards improvement . . Speculation , through the long BcarcUy of money , has been , and is still , dull and stagnant ; the non-arrival of ships with merchandise from England has tended also greatly to keep speculators , as well as dealers , in a state of suspense and indecision ; and consumers , country and tows , finding that English supplies ,
which are in the market , ware looking up , have been induced rather to curtail their expenditure of many commodities , ia the indulgence of which their previous easiness of obtaining had tempted them to give orders , for freely . It appears clear ,: this state of things may not last lo » g , unless teetolaliem becomes more universal . One thing is , however , to be apprehended from the non-arrivals from England , —vea-Bels fox the conveyance of the approaching clip of wool will be greater in demand than supply , and the freight for the conveyance to England of our staple produce must consequently rise / ' Notwithstanding this asserted atraitened supply of cash in the Australian settlements , companies , it appears , are organizing to carry out projected mineral researches , both there and in New iSeal&nd . Copper of superior qusflity is stated to have betu discovered is the lastnamed place .

The men are intended to do duty at Pembroke-dockyard in consequence of a number of the Royal Marines recently doing duty there having been withdrawn to assist tbe authorities in Wales to check the destruction of property which has taken place by parties known only under the designation of "Rebecca and her daughters . "
Somewhat too Romantic—It seems there is a weeping willow in the girden at Waltner-castle , which grew from a slip taken from the tree that overhangs Napoleon's grave at St . Helena . ¦ u The great conqueror of that wonderful man ( says a Kent paper ) oherisheth this tree with peculiar care . " The great conqueror has never been much ] reputed for sentiment . Neither he nor his friends cherished Napoleon living , and a captive ; to assume a tenderness about his grave would be two bad . His iron highness is surely above it . '
Increasing Distress . —At the meeting of the Board of Guardians of the Stourbrid ^ e Union , held on Friday , so great was the number of applicants , that it was necessary to constitute two ! boards . Jit was , nevertheless , seven o'clock in the evening before all the cases were disposed of . Many of the applicants were , able-bodied , some being persons usually employed at iron-works , blast furnaces , &o . ; but the majority were nailers , great numbers of whom are wholly unemployed . Tan number of new applicants of the able bodied class , to whom relief was afforded , was 219 . The house is full to an unprecedented degree , there being 263 inmates . Such is the state of this district at present , with every prospect of its becoming worse .
Imprisoning Women for Debt—At the last meeting of the Royal Naval Benevolent \ Society , a case was brought forward which painfully illustrated the operations of the law of imprisonment for debt . On that occasion Captain Dickson , the secretary , read a letter from Mrs . Passmore , a prisoner in Whitecross-street . The letter stated that Mrs . Passmore , who was in her 63 rd year , and whose fathor and three brothers fell fighting the' battles of their country , was confined for a debt of £ 5 aud £ 5 costs ; and that she was reduced to the lowest ebb of poverty . The gallant secretary j said that England was the only country in which ! a woman
beyond sixty years of age was confined ! for debt . The society paid the debt , and released Mrs . Passmore from her imprisonment . ; Foreign Cattle . —Since the new tariff came into operation ( July last ) , the following cattle have been imported into Southampton : — From France 6 oxen , 180 cows , 13 calves ; Spain ( Vigo ) 564 oxen , Hamburgh 10 oxen , 2 cows ; Stockholm 4 sheep ; Jersey and Guernsey ( free of duty ) 5 oxen , 279 00 wS , 6 calves , 6 goats . Total 585 oxen , 461 cows , 19 calves , 4 sheep , 6 goats . Arrangements are making for more extensive importations from France and Spain during the ensuing spring and summer . —Hampshire Independent . I
Plymouth , Jan . 21 . —By a private letter just received here it appears that the transport Defiance , Captain R . W . Evatt , was struck by lightning off Nankin on the 30 th of August last , between seven and eight p . ra . The electric fluid shivered the mainmast from the truck to the keel , and was attracted by the chain cable from the hauseholes on [ deck to the chain-lockers below . Providentially no further damage was done . The Defiance had troopa onboard , with Government stores , including gunptwder and rockets . Great consternation naturally prevailed .

Accident in the Catacombs at Paris . —Before the catacombs were finally closed , it is related that a geutleman having missed the guide , wandered in the immense labyrinth until he was lost , and compelled to seat himself on the damp ground at the risk of losing the use of his limbs . However , it struck him , that by anointing himself with an unguent , a box of which he had in his pocket , he might preserve himself from the noxious qualities of his horrid abode , and be enabled by increased vigour to continue shouting until some one came to his assistance . The unguent diffused a genial warmth , and the gentleman at length made himself heard , —was discovered and rescued . After such an escape , it may easily be conjectured that he will never forget Hollo way'a Ointment , the unguent alluded to I ¦ Nor may it be unnecessary to mention that in gout , paralysis , rheumatism , cancer , scrofula , all wounds and external disorders generally , it is of singular efficacy , and should be universally patronized . j
The Queen ' s Visit to Ireland . —London , Saturday . —I have learned from a good source that her Majesty and her illustrious Consort have determined to visit Ireland during the next summer , and at an earlier period of the season than their recent visit to Scotland . The Royal Victoria and Albert steam yatch , now in a forward state in Pembroke dockyard , will , it is expected , be launched towards the end of March or beginning of April ; and her Majesty ' s first excursion in that splendid vessel will be to the Irish metropolis . The Queen , I have learned , has intimated her desire that her visit to Ireland should be a publio one . The visit to Scotland was not bo . —Correspondent of the Dublin Evening Pbst . -
The Perth Courier states that recently a man jwas advised by a female doctor in the neighbourhood to rub his body with turpentine , before going to bed , and in the morning he would find himself cured of tbe rheumatism . Accordingly he obtained the assistance of his wife to rub the upper portion of his body , but while doing so , she accidentally allowed the lighted candle to come in contact with the turpentine which bad been placed upon the body , consequently he became enveloped in flame , inflicting serious injury ; how easily might this alarming accident nave been prevented , if , instead of using turpentine , he had taken that celebrated medicine , Blair ' s Gout and Rheumatic Pills . \

Extra ordinary Privations—One of the most extraordinary instances of a ship ' s orew supporting themselves without water for twenty-one days has occurred during the late gales . On the 18 oh inst . the Reform , from Montrose to Newcastle , put into Grimsby-roads . The master ( FoJiis ) states , that on the 21 st of December last they left Montrose , and oa the day following they were caught in a violent sale of wind , and were driven down oa the coast of Nftrway . Having unfortunately lost their water , not falling in with any vessel , and being unable to make port , tfaey continued np to the 10 th inst . without water . On that day , when about twenty leagues from Flamboroagh-head , they saw a vessel , which * they sigsalled ; it proved to be . the Eliza
Swain ,. Captain Reid , from Montrose , who immediately gave the Reform what water and provisions be opuld spare . For eight days longer the Reform continued to beat about the eoast witbont being ablo to procure any more water or provisions , and but for the providential appearance of the Eliza Swain , Capt .

Death of a > Miser stEjes Notfmtsham . —An old man , aged sixty-eight , named William Ashers , residing at the village of Costock , and well known in the neighbourhood of Nottingham as a penurious , eccentric character , having gone some distance froia his bouse on Saturday last to fetch coals in a barrow , because he 201 them a halfpeany cheaper
than in the village ,, became so-fatigued that he fell dewn and died . " The villagers , knowing his miserly propensities ) got into his home , searched it , but could find nothing . His nearest relations employed Mr . Samuel Maples , a solicitor of Nottingham , to go over the house with them ; and the result of hia more careful geareh enabled- him to find no less than £ 1 , 300 worth of property in notes , securities * plate , &o . To describe the singular spots in which property was secreted would be an endless task : a silver watch was found in a malt-mill mouth—a splendid silver tankard was hid in a beam—plate , jewellery , and money in holes and crannies that would be passed even by Bow-street officers . Deeds , showing his title to land , houses , &c , which he kept most secret , were found tojthe value of £ 2 , 000 .
Revolt or thb Bots at Greenwich School . — On Friday , a very alarming disturbance broke out in the upper school of the Royal Asylum , Greenwiuh . It appears that Lieutenant Rouse , R . N ., one of the officers and directors of gymnastics , had ( it is said , without the sanction of the superior authorities ) restricted the intercourse between the boys and their friends , which so irritated the pupils that they commenced a general row , smashing the windows with slates , rules , brickbats , and other
missiles , and breaking upwards of 1 , 000 panes of glass . Five of the ringleaders of the disturbance have been placed in confinement . A strict investigation is going on under the orders of the Governor , Admiral Sir Robert Stopford , K . C . B ., before Captain Huskisson , R . N ., one 0 ? the principal officers of the institution . There are nearly 800 boys , the sons of commission and warrant officers , in the upper school , and many of them are fifteen' or sixteen years of age , who , on a former occasion , expelled the police by a volley of stones , &c .
Amid all his > oblic avocations the Premier has found time to maintain a controversy with tha currency-men of Birmingham , represented by the Chamber of Commerce of that town ; who publish the correspondence . It ia carried on by memorials and letters in the name of the Chamber on the one side , and in letters" from Sir Robert Pee ) , addressed to Mr . G . F . MuntZj M . P ., and Mr . Richard Spooner . It began at the close of July last , with resolutions passed by the Chamber , and transmitted to the Minister , calling his attention to the depressed state of trade and the condition of the people ; and the Chamber soon hint that tbe establishment of a new paper currency issued by the Government is the only remedy . Sir Robert at' first seems to hold back from controversy ; but the legislator of 1819 cannot resist the opening made for palpable hits , and be is soon in full tilt . The Chamber are
voluminous in their essays : Sir Robert s replies are briefer , but comprehensive , frank , and very neataiming at essential points ; except that he is betrayed into a subordinate controversy as to what were the opinions of Locke , whom he recommends the Chamber to study . Sir Robert's last letter is dated 12 ih December , 1842 . In consenting to the publication of the correspondence , he requests bis antagonists to append to it a definition of the sense in which the word " pound" will be used in their inconvertible paper—what it will represent , to what it will be equivalent , and what it will imply ? Toe Chamber comply , with more good faith than success , by describing the peculiar kind of paper currency which they recommend—issued by Government alone , a legal tender , ' receiveable in payment of taxes , and limited to £ 20 , 000 , 000 , about the amount which they consider requisite for purposes of trade .
Fatal Rekconthe . —Newent , Gloucestershire ^ —( From a Correspondent . J—I am sorry to have to communicate the particulars of a distressing event which occurred in the early part of last Sunday evening , in the sequestered parish of Ttbberton , in this county . Joseph Bevan , an agricultural labourer , aged 37 , is at this moment in custody at the policestation in this town , charged with having caused the death of his step-son , James Wilkes , aged 23 , by stabbing him in the breast with a claspknife . It appears that Bevan married the mother of the unfortunate deceased , a widow , several years ago—that he and his wife have had frequent quarrels for some years past—that on the evening of Friday last , the 20 th instant , Bevan had words with his wife , which was of but too frequent occurrence , arising , as is stated , from an irritable and unhappy temper in the
woman , and from an excessive indulgence in the baneful practice of drinking on the part of the man —that whilst the man and his wife were engaged in this unseemly warfare , Wilkes took part with his mother , upon which a scuffle ensued , and several blows passed between . Bevan and his son-in-law . The result was , that Bevan , having drawn from his pocket a knife ( a large elaspkuife ) , struck his adversary on the breast , and inflicted a deadly wound , from tne effects of which he died almost instantly . An inquest was held on the body of Wilkes on Monday before Mr . Cooko , coroner , and the prisoner ia in safe custody . Bevan is a strong , powerful man , and bears but a very indifferent character , being much addicted to poaching , drinking , and fighting . He is , notwithstanding , a man of tolerable educa tion , oan read and write well , and is considered one of the best farm labourers in the parish , —Times .
Rural Polick . —We learn from the beBt authority , that the iron-masters and coal-proprietors of Lanarkshire , taking advantage of the present unsettled state of tbe mining districts , the impoverished state of the country , and particularly a contemplated reduction of wages that is to be immediately attempted by the mining and coalmasters , have taken the usual means of convening a meeting of the counfy , on an early day , for the purpose of raising a police force for the protection of property , in the neighbourhood of Airdrie , Coatbridge , &c , where the principal works are situate . We need scarcely inform our readers , that if the sanction of the county is once given for the purpose of raising a rural police force on any pretence
whatever , it will be next to impossible to get it repeated . Tne tax-payers , therefore , in the county should be on the alert , if they wish to keep down a charge that will every year increase in amount , without in the slightest degree affording nine-tenths of tha ratepayers the slightest protection . In England , where the rural police force was first established , and most extensively tried , the greatest dissatisfaction has been manifested towards the force , which , in addition , to often acting in the most unconstitutional manner , has become quite intolerable on account of its expense ; in several cases tnbling what was at first thought sufficient , and all this without affording any efficient additional protection * In soma of the English counties the force has been
broken , up and disbanded , and in others active me& « sures are in progress for the B&me purpose . In short , the system in England has come to its height . We believe we may have the same in regard to Scotland . Lanarkshire , the most populous county in it , has not yet had a single rntal policeman within its bwmdB , and we troat never will . In some of the neighbouring counties , where the force has been intiodttcedj we are informed , on undoubted authority , that a strong effort will be made ai the next annual meeting , on the 30 th of April , to have the force disbanded * Tbe independent ratepayers of Lanarkshire have only , therefore , to be firm , and they are sure to prevent the introduction of this most , useles s and expensive force . We intended to-day to have said a great deal more on this subjeot , but isill again refer
to the matter . In the mean time we may shortly Btate , that a police force , to he of tbe smallest use as a means of preventing crime , most in any county where it has been introduced into , be made ten times more numerous than at present . And what would be the consequence of tMs to the majority of the ratepayers * Why , it woald be perfect ruin . It is all very well for proprietors of publio works * "' and gentlemen who preserve their game , to have a police force at their command , but what is this to the ratepayers who haye neither public works nor game to preserve 1 It is nothing . If rural police must be had , let the parties who require them pay the expense themselves , and not burden the already overtaxed small proprietors ia the county . —Glasgow Journal *

THE ENGLISH WIFE-A MANUAL OF HOME DUTIES . By the Author of the " English Maiden , " &c . London , Clarke , Old Bailey . We have , had tbiB book a long time by ns . But many circumstances have combined to prevent our being able to read it with that amount of careful attention which we hold to be the dnty of all who read for the pnrpose of writing an opinion of what they read . .

be , " A "M m ***! of Home Duties" for that interesting portion of Society to whom it is addressed . No wife should lack it . Its instructions sre at once grave and sober , "but cheerfully and pleasantly conveyed : while it contains on almost every subject that involves the happiness and duty of a wife and mother , a large fund of most valuable information , expressed in clear , simple , and yet elegant language , and breathing throughout a spirit of genuine philanthrophy and Christian feeling .

THE AFFLICTED MUSE ; by James Ykrnon . Southmolton : printed for the Author , by B . Dunn , Market-place . This a small collection of original poems , by a young man , whom the heavy hand of paralysis has , for a long series of years , deprived of all the ordinary enjoyments , and precluded from all the ordinary occupations of life ; while poverty has tended to enhance the "weight of misery entailed by affliction . The composition of these littla pieces has served the poor invalid to wile away the heavy hours , and they have , we believe , remained un-. - . .
written until the friendly aid of some neighbour , as an amanuensis , could be obtained ; the paralytic being himself unable to write . These circumstances shoald alone form the passport of these poems to the patronage of the benevolent . But they are not destitute of poetic merit ; and thongh they perhaps seldom rise above mediocrity , we have seen much worse sivS than anything here to be found , most unconscionably pnffed and praised by reviews . The pieces generally are " tinged with sombre hue , " which , considering the writer ' s circumstances , is not wonderf . nL

ALNSWORTH'S MAGAZINE . To the lovers of Romance this monthly visitor must be a welcome friend , if we may judge by the Number now before ns . It is the one for January , and opens with the beginning of Book the Second of" WiKxsoa Castle , " by the Editor , Mr . Harrison AinBworth , author of the u Miser ' s Daughter " noticed in another part of this sheet . We have not seen the beginning of this ** Historical Romance f for the Magazine , -we regret to say , has not , been regularly forwarded to ns ; but if we may venture on an expression of opinion from the slight " sample of the sack" we have seen , we should say that th' 8 sober Romance of Mr . Ainsworth ' s , promises to be
every whit as interesting and as instructive as his justly famed " Tower of London . " Tne portion of the Romance given in tbe Number before ns is illustrated -with two steel engravings , by George Cruikshank ; and by no less than seven lovely wood cuts , representations of the several localities connected wiih Windsor Castle . Is addition to this portion of the new production from Mr . Ainsworth ' s prolific pen , we have a tolerably sprightly " dream , " by Leman Bl&nchard ; a sufficiently awful legend by tbe Baron ess De Calabrella f a really humourous paper entitled " State and Prospects of the Legitimate Drama in China , " re-printed from Ainswbrtr / a Magazine for Jannary 1840 ; a true « rtory of " the Monastery of L'Avernia "; and " Part
111 . of the Elhston Papers , edited by George Raymond . " There are besides " Par t II . of a "Venetian Romance , " and an interesting paper , entitled ** Three days lost is Taurnz , by Mr . Francis Hainsyronhf and several pieces of poetry , both humourous and serious . In fact , there is in this Magazine a rich fund of amusement Wended with instruction ; and both of an highly inteUectnal character . It is , in its way , the best that we have seen for some time . We commend ii stTongly to the notice of the public , with whom we are glad to find , from an address prefixed to this , tbe opening number of a new vol ., it has become a favourite , and is rewarded with that share of patronage as to warrant hs conductors to use the term success when speaking of their undertaking . It richly deserves it .

THE BALL ROOM ANNUAL , FOR lUd . London , H . G . Glark & Co ., 66 , Old Bailey . Writing , as we do , for a circulation among the poorest , it may jbe thought that a ball room annual would be a little ont of place in our columns . We think differently . We can discover no reason why the graces and elegances of civilization should not be familiar to those from whom all its value is derived . We know no reason why fine taste and graceful habits should he confined to the drones of society ,
nor why the bees should not enjoy some of the pleasures and relaxations of the hive . Hence , we conceive that to these , as well as , thercore opulentjthe Ball Room Annual may be an acceptable little offering . Ii is a very bijou of elegance ; and it contains a sketch of the History of the Art of Dancing , a Dissertation on Ball Room Ettiquette , a Glossary of teehnicalties and a mass of information , & 8 to various kinds of dances , which will be best estimated by adepts in the accomplishment to which we make no pretensions .
