second was much nearer, and the third took effect imme- 

 diately under her foremast, throwing the bow of the ship 

 tome ten feet out of water, and shattering the whole 

 vessel forward of the mainmast into atoms — the remain- 

 ing portion sunk in one minute to the bottom, leaving 

 the stern in part out of the water. The exhibition con- 

 cluded with the sending up of a signal rocket, and a 

 second jet-d'eau, which must have thrown the water 150 



feet into the air. 



Rats in the Hebrides.— Generations have pissed away 

 without seeing a rat on the small island of Tarinsay on 

 the west coast of Harris. An innumerable swarm of these 

 annoying and destructive vermin has of late spread over 

 the island, notwithstanding the efforts made by Mr. Mac- 

 donald, the tacksman, to extirpate them. They appear 

 to be increasing so fast that they threaten to overrun the 

 whole island, and keep violent possession of it. They are 

 supposed to have come from the island of Soay, which lies 

 at the distance of about three miles from Tarinsay, and 

 into which the Earl of Dunmore, some years ago, ordered 

 rabbits to be sent. Soon after this, the rats, which were 

 formerly very numerous in the island of Soay, completely 

 disappeared, having removed in a body to the neighbour- 

 ing island of Tarinsay, from which they are not inclined 

 to make their departure in a hurry. — Scotsman. 



Romance of Real Life. — The deaths of the Count and 

 Countess de Noailles, which has lately taken place in 

 France, were preceded by extraordinary and interesting 

 circumstances. They were cousins, and both previous to 

 their marriage bore the same name. Being brought up 

 , together, they became attached to each other from their 

 infancy, but as the constitution of each was so feeble as 

 to indicate premature death, their parents long opposed 

 their union. At last, however, from their own earnest 

 entreaties, their marriage was consented to and solemn- 

 ised. Their maladies rapidly increased. The countess 

 could not bear the least degree of cold, and her physicians 

 ordered that her apartment should always be kept at a 

 certain height of temperature. The count, on the contrary, 

 required to be in a fresh and cool atmosphere. They con- 

 sequently seemed to be doomed to an eternal separation 

 even in this life. That, however, they might at least see 

 each other, they were placed in rooms adjoining, the par- 

 tition between which was plate-glass, through which they 

 were able to communicate, but by looks and signs alone. 

 Not more than one year elapsed between their wedding 

 and their funerals. — Galignani. 



ILato 



Cbxtral Criminal Court. — Abduction. — William Burton 

 Hewenham was indicted for a misdemeanour, in having unlawfully 

 taken Frances Wortham, under the ajre of 16 years, from the cus- 

 tody of her mother, and against her will. The prisoner was found 

 guilty. Mr. Baron Gurney passed sentence, and observed with 

 severity that he had been guilty of a crime of the worst description, 

 having insinuated himself into the affections of a mere child, under 

 the guise of friendship, and then induced her to fly from her home 

 and the protection of her mother: he had then carried her to a dis- 

 tant part of the country, and solemnised, or pretended to solemnise, 

 marriage with her ; thereby completely ruining her happiness and 

 destroying her peace of mind for the remainder of her life. The 

 case had been most completely made out against him by Mrs. Wor- 

 tham ; and he had only aggravated his offence by instructing his 

 counsel to cross-examine the mother, with a view to induce the jury 

 to believe that she was a woman of abandoned habits, but he was 

 happy to say that such shameful insinuations were totally without 

 foundation, and that her only fault had been in relying and confid- 

 ing too implicitly upon the prisoner's honour and integrity, 

 tinder all the circumstances of the case, a severe example was re- 

 quired, and the sentence of the Court therefore was, that he be 

 imprisoned in the House of Correction for the space of two years. 

 — The Battersea Murder. — Augustus Dalmas was indicted for the 

 wilful murder of Mary Macfarlane on Battersea-bridge, and found 

 guilty. The particulars of this murder are already known to our 

 readers, and no new evidence was adduced. The prisoner made 

 a declaration that he was not near the bridge on the night in ques- 

 tion. Baron Gurney passed sentence of death, ordering the pri- 

 soner to be executed at Horsemonger-lane gaol.— The alleged 

 Murder at Wimbledon.— Charles Hull, plasterer, was indicted 

 for the wilful murder of his wife. Several witnesses were ex- 

 amined, and repeated their statements made before the Coroner, 

 Which have already appeared, when the jury stopped the case, and, 

 with the concurrence of the Court, acquitted the prisoner, the 

 Coroner's Jury having returned a verdict that the deceased died a 

 "Natural death."— The Irish Bank Parcel Robbery.— Mr. James 

 Egan, late manager of the Moate branch of this bank, was in- 

 dicted for feloniously receiving one of the stolen notes of 100/., 

 well-knowing it to have been stolen. The facts of the case are well 

 known. The robbery took place in Dec. 1842, from which time to 

 April last, nothing was heard of the bank parcel. The prisoner 

 was tried for the robbery at the time and acquitted. He then 

 brought an action against the bank directors, for the false accusa- 

 tion and imprisonment, and recovered 6d. damages with costs. In 

 April last he came to town and changed the 100/. note, which was 

 stopped at the Bank of England, and traced to him. When taken 

 into custody he at once said he was the man who had passed the 

 note. The Recorder asked Mr. Clarkson, would not these facts, if 

 proved, rather substantiate a charge of stealing than receiving. 

 Mr. Clarkson suggested, that though he might have been originally 

 the thief, yet if he passed away the property and subsequently re- 

 ceived back from his accomplice part of it, as his words "remitted 

 to him" would imply he had, that would be sufficient to substan- 

 tiate the charge of feloniously receiving. A juror asked Mr. Clark- 

 son "he had evidence of the note being remitted to the prisoner. 

 Mr. Clarkson replied in the negative. The Recorder put it to the 

 jury, whether, under these circumstances, they could, if all the 

 facts as opened by the learned counsel were proved, return a ver- 

 dict of guilty ? 1 he jury replied in the negative, and a verdict of 

 acquittal was accordingly x^nmed.-House.breakmg.- Bani.l 

 Dearlove, aged 35 .chemist .was indicted for feloniously breaking

 two bank notes of 100/. each, one of 50/., three of 10/ two of 5/ 

 several bills, eight sovereigns, and other monies to the' value in ail 

 of about 2000/. The prisoner was found guilty and sentenced to 

 15 years' transportation. During the trial, the Kingof baxonv at- 

 tended by his suite, and accompanied by the Lord Mayor Lord C 

 Wellesley, Baron GersdorflT, Sheriffs Moon and Musgrove, the 

 under-sheriffs, and several aldermen, entered the court. liis Ma-

 .Recorder had concluded his summing up, and seemed to pay par- 

 ticular attention to the proceedings.

TO LADIES. 



ROWLAND'S KALYDOR.— This Royally Patronised 

 and universally adopted Specific is a balmy, odoriferous, 

 creamy Liquid, composed chiefly of extracts from the most rare 

 Flowers and Herbs of an Eastern Clime. Its discovery was no less 

 singular (by a Lady of rank), than its effects have been felicitous, 

 during the last thirty years. It is the mildest and most efficacious 

 preparation ever known for dissipating Tan, Pimples, Freckles, 

 Discolorations, and other Disfigurements of the Skin. The radiant 

 bloom it imparts to the Cheek, and the softness and delicacy it in- 

 duces on the Hands, Arms, and l^eck, render it indispensable to 

 eveiy Toilet. 



Gen».lemf*n will find it peculiarly grateful after shaving, in allay- 

 ing irritation of the skin, and in rendering it soft and smooth. 

 Price 4*. 6d. and 8*. 6d. per Bottle, duty included. 



CAUTION.— The great demand for this article excites the cu- 

 pidity of unprincipled Shopkeepers, who vend the most spurious 

 trash as the "Genuine Kalvdor:"— whereag the genuine article 

 is prepared solely by A. ROWLAND and SON, and the amalgama- 

 tion of tits costly exotic materials renders abortive any attempt to 

 discover its component parts— thus proving the imposition of all 

 other articles bearing the title of "KALYDOR." The genuine 

 article has the words " ROWLAND'S KALYDOR"' on the Wrapper
