Aug. 22. A fatal duel took place at Wimbledon common, which has since attracted a large share of the public attention. The victim was Mr. John Flower Mirfin, and the quarrel is said to have arisen from a collision on returning from Epsom races, some weeks before. The jury on the Coroner's inquest returned the following verdict: "That Francis Lionel Eliot, John Young, Henry Webber, and Edward Delves Broughton, together with two others, whose names are not at present known, are guilty of wilful murder; the first-named party as principal in the first degree, and the remainder as principals in the second degree." Scott, the surgeon in attendance and personal friend of the deceased, was bound over in his own recognizance to the amount of 3001. to appear when required to do so. On the 21st Sept. Young and Webber were brought to trial, and, having been found guilty, sentence of death was recorded against them, which has since been commuted to twelve months' imprisonment in Guildford gaol, the last month to be passed in solitary confinement. Eliot and Broughton had escaped abroad. The parties concerned in this affair, though aping the barbarous code of refined honour, can apparently claim only a very doubtful gentility. Eliot is the nephew of an innkeeper at Taunton, and was recently an officer in the British Auxiliary Legion in Spain, where he was chiefly notorious for his numerous duels. Mirfin, one of the sons of a mercer at Doncaster, was lately actually a linen draper in Tottenham Court Road. Young was, or ought to have been, had he not disagreed with his father, a brickmaker at Haddenham, near Aylesbury.

Sept. 7. The Forfarshire steamer, from Hull to Dundee, struck upon the Long Stone or Outer Farne Island, when from thirty-five to forty persons (including the Rev. J. Robb, minister of Dunkeld) perished; nine were saved on the island, and nine escaped in the boat. After the vessel struck, the second sea broke her in two parts; the fore part remained on the rock, but the other was carried away, and all who were on it were instantly launched into eternity. At an inquest held on some of the bodies, the firemen deposed to the insufficient state of the starboard boiler, and that the fires had to be extinguished before leaving the Humber. After a patient investigation, the jury returned a verdict That the deceased lost their lives by the Forfarshire, a Dundee and Hull steam-packet, coming in contact with the rocks of one of

the Farne Islands, commonly called the Great Harkars, and that the vessel was unseaworthy when she left Hull." The value of the wreck left on the island was surveyed and valued by Mr. Evans, the revenue officer at Bamburgh, at 200l. and the jury thought proper to lay a deodand of 100l. upon the wreck.

Sept. 11. The ceremony of laying the foundation stone of the Hannah More Schools took place opposite Trinity Church, near Lawford's Gate, Bristol; after divine service, attended by the Mayor, the Dean, and a numerous congregation, and a sermon by the Venerable Archdeacon Thorp. The plate was thus inscribed :-" To the Glory of God, and in dependence upon Him who is the sure Foundation and chief Corner Stone of His Church, this corner stone of an Edifice raised by public Subscription for the Instruction of the children of the poor in the district parish of Holy Trinity, in the parish of St. Philip and Jacob, Bristol, according to the principles of the Established Protestant Church, and to be denominated The Hannah More Schools, in memory of a most distinguished Promoter of the cause of Scriptural Instruction, and an eminent Benefactress of the District Church, was laid the 11th day of September, 1838, by A. G. H. Battersby, esq." The name of Hannah More, for a long series of years, was connected with schools which she and her sisters first established with the concurrence of the parochial clergy in destitute parishes in their own immediate neighbourhood, which were supported and carried on principally by her means, and under the active superintendence of herself and her sisters. She left the residue of her property for increasing the endowment of the new church in this extensive and populous parish. A subscription was entered into after her death for erecting a monument to her memory, and the subscribers resolved at their first meeting on devoting any surplus which might remain, after defraying the expenses of a plain but handsome tablet in Wrington church, to aid in establishing a school to bear her name as subsidiary to the church which she had so liberally endowed. The minister and vestry have been encouraged to proceed in this work and labour of love, by having placed at their disposal the surplus of about 4501., more than two thirds of the original subscription; and, aided by some other gentlemen, they have made a further appeal to the public on behalf of this important undertaking. Thearchitect is Mr. Pope.

Sept. 24. One of the most extraordinary outrages ever perpetrated was committed at Stanfield hall, Norfolk, the seat of Isaac Jermy, Esq. by a large mob, headed by a man named John Larner and another person, also from London, calling himself Daniel Wingfield. Larner professes to be a claimant to the Stanfield property. Isaac Preston, esq. who lately by royal licence assumed the name of Jermy, is the son and heir of the Rev. George Preston, of Stanfield Hall. His father succeeded to this estate by virtue of the will of his elder brother, also of Stanfield Hall, in May 1786, and Mr. Jermy came into possession on his father's death in 1837, the property having been a century in the family. In June last an auction took place of the Rev. George Preston's effects, when on one of the days of the sale a servant informed Mr. Jermy that there was a person below who claimed to take possession of that place as heir at law. Mr. Jermy, in company with Mr. Culley, the auctioneer, told Larner and his friend that if they had any claim to his property, the way was open to them by means of legal and not illegal proceedings. The intruders were desired to leave the house, which they refused to do, and Mr. Jeremy sent to Wymondham for the police-officers, who removed them from the premises. On the 11th of September, eight or nine persons violently entered the mansion, which was then occupied by Mrs. Sims, and demanded of her the keys of the house, desiring her to leave the place. Constables being called in, the people departed; but, on the following day Larner entered the pleasure grounds, cut down an ash tree, and, with others, carried it away. On the 20th September, Larner again entered the premises, accompanied by a blacksmith, when assistance being at hand, and finding that he should be taken into custody, he took to his heels and escaped, declaring he would return again. Accordingly on the 24th he appeared in front of Stanfield Hall with a very large party of men, collected from the different parishes of the neighbourhood. They entered the park by the drive, and commenced cheering and waving their hats. About eleven o'clock in the morning they demanded admittance of Mrs. Sims, declaring they would break open the house if it were refused to them. She did refuse them, upon which Larner took a crow bar from out of a paper in which it had been wrapped, and broke in the door, when the party rushed into the place. mob followed Larner up stairs to a

The

bedchamber, in which Mrs. Sims had taken refuge; and Larner took her up and forcibly carried her out of the house, as well as her friend Miss Bloomfield, of Wymondham house. The mob then carried out the furniture, &c. and placed it on the lawn, barricaded the windows and doors, letting no person in or out of the house except their own party, and placed a heap of paving stones, brick-bats, and other missiles before each of the upper windows, in preparation for a siege. During this outrage, Mr. Jeremy having received information of what was passing, hastened to the scene with two constables, where he found the furniture of the mansion lying on the ground. exposed to a heavy rain; he read the Riot Act to the mob, and, calling upon them to listen to him, informed them that every person present would be guilty of felony if they did not immediately disperse. Between three and four o'clock two other magistrates, the Hon. and Rev. Robert Wilson, and W. R. Cann, Esq. came up with a civil force, and succeeded in taking some of the bludgeon-men into custody, but the rioters made a sortie from the house and instantly rescued them. The civil force being found inadequate, the military were sent for from Norwich, and at about a quarter before six a detachment of the 4th dragoon guards, under the command of Major Makepeace, came upon the ground. The magistrates then again read the Riot Act, and called on the misguided men to surrender rather than there should be a shedding of blood. The military took up a position so as to surround the house, and cut off all attempts at escape; the men inside then, having had five minutes' grace given to them to make up their minds, declared, before the expiration of the time, their intention to surrender, and opening one of the doors, came out one by one, and were tied together by ropes, to prevent their escape, to the number of 63. They were put into waggons and conducted to Norwich Castle, under an escort of the military. After a very full hearing of the case, the result has been that 14 persons have been fully committed to take their trial at the next assizes. The remainder were liberated on their recognizances.

Oct. 3. Her Majesty the dowager Queen embarked at Portsmouth, on board the Hastings 74, for the Mediter. ranean. Her Majesty is attended by Earl Howe, the Earl and Countess of Denbigh, the Earl and Countess of Sheffield, the Hon. Captain Curzon, Miss Mitchell, Miss Hudson, Sir David Davis,

M.D. the Rev. Mr. Wood, Chaplain to Her Majesty, and a suite of forty-two persons.

Oct. 5. A fire, involving a serious destruction of property, occurred at Liverpool, in Robert-street North, leading from Great Howard-street to the Prince'sdock. The fire broke out in one of a range of six warehouses, of seven and eight stories high, filled with bonded and free stores. The first warehouse destroyed contained a large quantity of cotton, besides 2,200 bales of wool. The second was unfortunately filled with a more valuable stock of merchandize, the great bulk of it being composed of East India produce. There appearing to be no danger of the fire extending, the warehouses were abandoned to their fate. At seven the next morning, when all alarm had subsided, the flames communicated downwards to the cellars of the warehouse belonging to Messrs. Davies and Co. and a violent explosion was the consequence. The fire now raged with redoubled fury, and soon ignited a quantity of timber, which gave additional impetus to the flames, which next seized on the warehouses of Messrs. Grundy and Co. which contained 400 or 500 barrels of saltpetre, rum, &c. as well as a great quantity of cotton, and other valuable merchandize. About half-past nine the flames had communicated to the cellar, and one of the most awful explosions took place that can possibly be conceived. Owing to the great quantity of saltpetre confined in the cellars, the upper part of the warehouses was blown up with tremendous force, and a scene ensued which almost defies description. Several burning bales of cotton were forced over Robert-street, into Tyrer-street, and pieces of iron, bricks, and other articles, were propelled more than 100 yards from the spot. One bale of cotton in smouldering heat fell upon a man and struck off his hat; and another man was taken off the ground without any hope of recovery from the effects of a blow received by a portion of the burning mass. The rapid destruction of property was now irresistible, and it was not possible to arrest the progress of the fire for some time, during which a shed, containing many thousand bales of cotton, was destroyed. The loss of property is estimated at 120,000l. of which the greater part, however, was insured in various offices.

Oct. 13. The first stone of the Southampton Docks was laid, with masonic honours, by Sir Lucius Curtis, Bart. The following inscription, engraved on a

brass plate, was laid on the lower stone, the upper one having been previously raised by an engine :-" In commemoration of the commencement of the Construction of the Commercial Docks of the Port of Southampton, this stone was laid by Sir Lucius Curtis, Knight and Baronet, of Gatcombe House, in this County, Companion of the Most Honourable and Military Order of the Bath, Rear-Admiral of Her Majesty's Royal Navy, and Right Worshipful Deputy Provincial Grand Master of Hampshire, and the Provincial Grand Lodge and other Lodges in the said Province of Free and Accepted Masons, on Friday, the 12th day of Oct. 1838, assisted by the Chairman and Directors of the Southampton Dock Company, in the presence of the Worshipful the Mayor, Jos. Lobb, Esq., the Corporation of the town of Southampton, the Right Hon. the Earl of Yarborough, P. G. Master of the Isle of Wight, and many distinguished visitors, &c." The P. G. Chaplain, the Rev. W. H. Brookfield, having repeated a prayer, invoking a blessing on the undertaking, the P. G. Treasurer deposited various coins of the present reign on the plate; after which the P. G. Master descended to the stone, and, the cement being presented to him by an entered apprentice, he laid the same on the lower stone; the upper one was then let down, and the P. G. Master having proved the same to be properly adjusted, received the mallet from the P. G. Architect, with which he gave three knocks, saying, " May the Great Architect of the Universe enable us successfully to carry on and finish the work of which we have now laid the foundationstone, and every other undertaking that may tend to the advantage of the town and county of Southampton and its harbour. May He be a Guard and Protector to them, and may they be long preserved from peril and decay!"

HAYMARKET.

Oct. 9. Mr. Sheridan Knowles produced a new play called the Maid of Mariendorpt. Filial affection, or rather what is called the domestic feeling, is the leading feature of the new play. The time is laid during the thirty years' war; and the principal character in the piece is sustained by the author. It is not as a whole equal to some of his productions, though certain conceptions and situations are perhaps more powerful, original, and striking than any thing he has produced.
