Richardson is, as usual, prominent and distinguished. We cannot say his more conspicuous performances always most please us. Jthey do not, to our lancy, sui fiently conceal artificial working-tip in composition nnd colouring, They (some of them) speak more of in-door study than out-door nature.

When quite joung ho wii' place in the establishment of the brethren, at Fulneck, Yorkshire, to be educated bis father, who was a Moravian inirsiomtrv, having a station in the West Indie, where he and the poct'o mother died. Mr Montgomery displayed poetical talent ut a very early period, whioh indisposed him for the ordinary occupations of life, and led him to make hia way to London before he was twenty years old, for the purpose of finding a publisher for a vo.tirae of verses whioh he hud written; he waa however disappointed in the immediate object of his journey, but he remained there some time as an assistant to a bookseller. From London he removed to Sheffield, and wus employed under Mr Joseph Gales, proprietor of the Sheffield Register. Mr Galea bav ng inserted in his paper some artic.es offensive to the government, mid apprehending a prosecution, left England and settled in America. The Itcyister having fallen in Mr Montgomery's hands as proprietor, he changed tho title to that of the Sheffield Iris, which lie continued to publish and edit with great abilby until 1825, when he disposed of the copyright of the paper and retired from business, devoting his time to literary pursuits, and in the active pro notion ot benevolent nnd charitable objects, both of a local and general ckuracu r.

The abolition of the slave trade engaged his most zealous BervicCR ho also laboured heartily in doing away with the use of climbing-boya, and rendered important assistance to bible and missionary societies, Sunday and other schools, and was alw.iys found amongst the first to give encouragement and assistance to every project devieed for the advancement of Christianity, and the well-being and happiness of mankind. On ilia reliiKmisliing the ri-s, a public dinner was given to Mr Montgomery, in Sheffield, as a nnirUof respect, at which Earl Fitzwilliam, then Lord Milton, presided, which waa attended by the most influential reeidenta of the town and neighbourhood. Mr Montgomery's poetical works have been duly appreciated by tuo public, all nf them Vaving goe through many editions, and they cannot fail to continue to hold a hijh rank in litcia.ure lor generations to come. The principal pocinB appeared in the following order. In 1797 he publisaed "Prison Amusements; in 1805, the "Ocean;" in 180(1, the Wanderer in Switzerland in 18(19, "The West Iiniiea;" in 1812, iho World before the Flood;" in 1819, Greenland," a poem in live cantos; and in 1828, "The P.

lienn l.l md, and other poems." In 1850 tho whole of his works were issued in one volume, and of which two editions arc in circulation; and in 1853, "Original Hymns, for public, private, and social devotion." Air Montgomery id no last sickness, his death in fact was like going to sleep, and tool place on Sunday afternoon last, as we understand, while sitting in his arm-chair; so soft and silent was his departure out of this world to better, that for 6ome time it was supposed by those near liiin ho had dropt into a slumber.

Flight and Capture of tub Saturday last, Mr James albert, landlord of the White House public-house, Pilgrim-street, in this town, suddenly decamped, leaving his creditors minus a considerable sum. As soon as the faet became current, enquiries were instituted, when it waa ascertained that Halbert had gone to Liverpool to embark for Australia. A warrant for his apprehension waB immediately obtained and placed iu the hands of detective Elliott, of the police, and, being accompanied by two of Halbert'a creditors, they set off in pursuit. They arrived at Liverpool on Sunday, and proceeded to the Great Britain steamer, where they discovered him on board. The capture, however, of Halbert was owing to some defect occurring to the machinery of the Bteamer after she had sailed in the morning, and had proceeded a short way on her voyage to Australia.

Halbert had entered himBBlf among the passengers in the name of James Charlton. He was ccordingly brought to this town on Monday, and safely lodged in gaol, there to await the due course of the law. It appears that the plan for his flight had been well matured by Halbert, as, previous to his departure by the Saturday night's expreas train, he sold every piece of furniture in his house. He, however, left a short supply of ale and spirits, with which several of his frieuds, after he left, made too free, some of them afterwards having to he conveyed to the station-house on barrows by the police, drunk and insensible. Hence aroBe tho rumour of his departure.

Tho French captain and his wife, nnd tho remainder of the crew, had just time to escape from the wreck, but they were unable to save any of their property. To add to their misfortune, they were nigh perishing through another collision.

At the date of her Bailing from Liverpool, March 1, 'she had on board 405 persons 75 of a crcttt, 60 cabin, and 280 steerage passengers. She had, however, full provisions for fifty days, besides a large supply of water and condensing apparatus. A letter from Capt.

Prince Natoleon at Malta, On tho afternoon of the 20th, by tho French steam corvette Roland, from Toulon, Prince Napoleon arrived at Malta, accompanied by a brilliant staff.

Signer Duloug, a celebrated artist, accompanied his imperial highness. Tho prince landed at the Custom-house, aud was received by liis excellency the governor, in full uniform, wearing his hard-earned medals. A guard of honour, supplied by the Bulla, received his imperial highness, who, having entered the governor's carriage, proceeded to inspect the fortiliea- tinna ,1 ,1 1 ,1 .1... 1 '1 1- where was another guard of honour, supplied by the 68th light infantry. After remaining a few minutes at the palace, the prince, attended, by his excellency the governor and his staff', visited tho Bplendid church of St.

John. On his return he dined with his excellency, nnd at 10 o'clock honoured the opera with his presence. He retired at the end of the third act, and. on leaving, was vociferously cheered by the crowd. The prince and his suite embarked at midnight for the east.

On his arrival two royal salutes were fired one from Fort St. Angelo, and ono by the il ig-ship. Thc Robdeky of a Jeweller's Shop at Manchester. The circumstances will be still fresh iu the minds of the ptiblic oonnected with the robbery of the shop of Mr Howard, jeweller, at the corner of Corporation-street, Manchester, about thirteen months ago, when a man entered during the dinner hour, when only Miss Howard wits in the shop, and whilst drawing her attention to an address card, suddenly put his arm round hor neck, and gnrottcd her. After this fie and accomphcea plundered the shop of valuable jewellery and plate, with which they coolly walked into one of the most crowded thoroughfares of Manchister, and effected then escupe.

Mr Buswiok.chicf superintendent of tho detective police, made every exertion to trace the offenders, and several men were apprehended, against whom there was evident of complicity in the affair, and one of whom was ultimately transported, but the chief agent 111 the robbery, who used Miss Howard so brutally, has succeeded in eluding pursuit up to the present time. Mr Beswick had authority for believing this man to be Johu Goldsmith, at that time living in Birmingham, but all efforts to take him proved unavailing until a few days ago, when he full into the hands of Mr Stephens, superintendent of the Birmingham police.

The news of the laBt week, as a whole, is much in favour of the allied eastern powers. They are advancing, while the army of the Emperor Nicholas is retreating, from certain districts, especially from Lower Walluehiu, which seems to show as if they could be no longer occupied with safety. Another manifesto has been issued by the Ernporor of Russia pertaining to the present war it contains nothing new, but reiterates what he huB before said respecting bis inraives and object in the conduct he has pursued against Tin key. Since tlie commencement (says the manifesto) of our difference with the Turkish government, we have solemnly announced to our faithful subjects that a sentiment of justice had alone induced us to re-cstublish the violated rights ot the orthodox Christians, subjects ot the Ottoman Forte. We have not sought, we do not seek, to make conquests, nor to exercise in Turkey any supremacy whatever, that might he likclv to exceed that influence which belongs to Hushaby virtue of existing treaties.

At that period we already encountered distrust, then soon a covert hostility on the part of the governments of France and England, who endeavoured to lead the Porte astray by misrepresenting our intentions. Lastly, at this moment, England and Fiance throw off the mask, regard our difference with Turkey as a mere secondary question, and no longer dissemble that their joint object is to weaken Russia, to tear from her a part of her possessions, and to bring down our country from the powerful position to which the hand of the Supremo lining hud exalted it. Is it lor orthodox Russia to fear such threats? Ready to confound the audacity of the enemy, shall she swerve from (lie sacred puiposo that has been assigned to her by Divine Providence I Not Russia has not forgotten Cod It is not for worldly interests that Bhc has taken up arms she combats for the Christian faith, for the defence of her co-religionists oppressed by implacable enemies. Let all Christendom know, then, that the thought ot the Sovereign of Rusia is also the tuouuht that animates and inspires all the gicat family of the Russian people-this orthodox people, fuithful to God and to his only Son JeBus Christ our Redeemer. It is for the faith and for Christendom that we combat God with us who against us 1" Who will or can give credit to the declarations, though so solemnly made, in this document? After what has already be'en disclosed as to the thoughts and intentions of the Czar when he fixed his eyes upon "the sick man' who can believe the Emperor" Nicholas has no covetous ri: i At, A no in it is positively disgusting to find the name of religion at all mixed up with the motives which huve so evidently actuated the Autocrat in this affair.

There is, however, ono conclusion that may he come to on the subject of these repeated manifestoes, which is, that Nicholas feels his conduct to have been such as to require explanations to his own subjects, as well as to the rest of the civilized world and that having nothing substantially satisfactory to adduce to warrant his proceedings, he has been driven to supply unsupported declarations, given out in the shape of these manifestoes, which are contradicted by every part of his own conduct in the attack which he has made upon the independence and territory of Turkey.

Newcastle Hiring for Servants.

At this hiring, held at tho Barrns-bridge, on Tuesday, tho attendance of both masters and servants was numerous, but lor a considerable time no business was done in consequence of the exorbitant demands of the servants, especially the men, who asked as high as 11 for the summer half-year. In one instance 28 for the whole yrar was aslted, but only 25 was given. About the middle of the day some engagements were made as follows Men at 12 to 13, and females from 7 to t'S the half-year. These wages, however, being considered high, many masters left without making any engagements. Newcastle Board of Guardians.

The usual weekly meetine was held on Fridav Mr Ridley, vice- chairman, presiding. A letter was read from the Poor Law Board, approving of the proposed advance of 20 per annum upon the salaries of the'relieving officers. A letter was read from Mrl. A. Potts, of tho Side, complaining that at the recent election of guardians, his voting paper, and those of several others in All Saints, had not been called for.

Mr Pace, and other guardians, suid they had heard of Biruilar complaints and it appeared to be generally felt that somo steps should be taken to avoid such complaints in future. The Clerk said that, with tho best possible arrangements, omissions of this kind would occur. The law had, in fact, contemplated this, and provided a remedy, which was stated on the printed placards announcing the elections namely, that when a paper is not called for, the voter may himself bring it to the board. (the clerk) in common with his predecessor, had not, however, felt justified in appending, to the strict fovm of voting paper provided by the law, the directions contained in the placard. A guardian said one cause of those complaints was that 6trang(rs had been employed to do the work, they being not well acquainted with the district.

It would "have been more satisfactory if the assistant oycrseers had been employed, even i'f they had been paid something for their labour. It was intimated, in reply, that the assistant overseers hud declined to do the work, After some other conversation it was determined that Mr Potts's iter should be acknowledged, and that the Clerk should enquire of the Poor Law Board if article 20 might legally be appended to the voting paper. The master of the workhouse reported that there were 498 inmates, and 31 persons iu the vagrant ward. Among tho relief eases was an application by widowed female for assistance to emigrate to one of the British American colonies. Mr Hoprer proposed that an application be made to tho Poor Law Board to sanction the payment of 70s for this purpose.

It was argued that it would really be cheaper for the board to do this than to continue relieving tho applicant. Several guardians thought, however, it would be a dangerous precedent, if not positively illegal, to make this grant. Mr Hopper's motion was, therefore, carried, with the understanding that himself and other members of the board, in their individual capacity, would umkc up tho Bum if the commissioners declined to sanction the same. IvI-eeting at All Saints. The Burial Board.

On Tuesday a meeting of the ratepayers of the parish All in this town, was held iu the vestry of the church, for the purpose of considering the proceedings for providing a suitable burial-ground, and to ive the Doarit tho necessary powers to contract for land for such purpose So.

Blackwell, chaiiman of the board, was received and adopted after which Mr John Spoor (who on first entering the room was received with loud applause on his arrival from America), Mr H. Turner, and one or two other gentlemen spoke at some length, relative to further enquiries respecting other sites, and to the necessity Af rnatric.tinp- the hoard as to the extent ot land; but the former object was deemed unnecessary, and the latter was disposed of by a motion made by Mr Turner beiDg negatived, in which he moved that the board be restricted to 12 acres.

It was then moved by Mr Cathe-ral), and seconded by Mr Iioutlcdge, on account of it being easier of access to the poorer classes and nearer the town generally, that the board bo authorised to negotiate for the purchase of the Bite al ttic Minories; upon whioh a counter motion was made by Mr Thomas Wilson, and seconded by Mr T.

Mr Glover, after a report of tho committee on the church leaseholds had been read, made a motion, with a view to the oo-operation of the council with the lessees in measures to be taken, and recommended that a committee bo appointed for that purpose. Mr Carnaby having seconded the motion, St was put and carried unanimously. Mr Glover also proposed another motion regarding the necessity of memorializing Lord Palmerstcn to institute an inquiry into the state of St. Htlda'B church-yard as a place of burial but in consequence of its having been atated that the churchwardens were in communicition with Dr. Sutherland on the suhiect.

To the Editor of the Newcastle Cowant. Sin, In a report of the annual meeting of the Durham and Northumberland Congregational Association, which is contained in the Conrant ol lust Friday, it is stated that the association have granted 500 towards the building of a chapel for tho congregation of the Rev. A. Reid, of this town." Aa this is a mistake, i think it my duty, not only as the minister of the congregation to which reference is made, but also as the secretary of tho Durham and Northumbsilnnd Association, at once to correct it. It is the intention of my congregation, at present occupying a chapel rented from ano ther denomination, to erect a chaue they are now tailing steps towards carrying their intention inteffcct, Tha matter was not, however, brought before ther denomination, to erect a cnauei lor ineir own use, aim the recent meeting of tho association, and consequently no erant could be made iu aid of the undertaking.

Tlia designs i of my congregation have been laid before a society, having for its object the erection of congregational chapels in largo and i increasing towns, and there is reason to expect liberal assist-! ance from that socioty. This, it is probable, has originated i the mistako into which your correspondent has fallen. I am, A. REID. Wcstgate Hill Terrace, Newcastle, May 1, 1854.

by Sir C. Wood. Munificent Gift to the Infirmary. As the new building attached to the Newcastle Infirmary is nearly completed, the House Committee, in order to make every possible improvement, have tastefully laid out the pleasure grounds front ot the institution, but, in order to have some ornament of attraction, they decided unon liavine- a fountain nlnccd iu it. Accordinalv.

visit was paid to Mr Aspdin's establishment, Neville-street but from a conversation which transpired between Captain Weatherley, one of the committee, and Mr Aspdin, that gentleman addressed a letter to the gallant captain, in which he, in the most handsome manner, presented theinstitution with afounlain, similar to the one standing at present in front of her Majesty's residence, Osborne House, Isle of Wight, nnd valued at 200. This fountain, of which a model can be scon in the yard at Neville -street, contains five basins, resting on four sphinxes, with bix highly-finished classic figures ornamenting the circumference of the lower basin, and representing Flora, also Flora (Naples), tho difference in these characters being that one holds a wreath of flowers in her hand, the other carries them as a wreath around her head, Ceres, Venus, Diana, and Pysche. At a meeting of the House Committee, held at the Infirmary, yesterday forenoon, Mr Aspdin's letter wns read, when it was unanimously resolved to accept.tne fountain on the conditions named, nnd that the cordial thanks of the committee be given to Mr Aspdin forms very munificent present. The following is a copy of Mr Aspdin's letter to Capt. Weatherley Patent Portland Cement Yorks, Catcsbcad-on-Tyne, April, 1831.

J. D. Wentlioiloj, New Kiidge-strcet, Newcastle Tyne. Sin, Referring to the conversation which transpired between us this afterHOOn, I have made up my mind to present to your most valuable and worthy institution, the Queen's Fountain," and to erect tho r.unm in the grounds of tho In-lirmary, on condition that tho committee do all the excavation, necessary brick work, plumbers' work, and the laying on of water. Xhc fountain, when completed, will be a fac simile of the one now standing in front of tier Majesty's marine residence, Osborne House, Isle of Wight.

It will be mode from the samo mould, and worth 200. It is very desirable to have such an ornament for suck a place as the cheering sight of a fountain playing before tho gaze orso'manyiuvalidsmust he a relief to their confinement, and a diversion to their minds and, consequently, a means of facilitating the efforts fm- their restoration.
