The ruffians then seized the mail-bags, and decamped with their boorv ai- rh fioiHa tk moon was shining bright at the time, so that the driver is of opinion iie onouid oe aoie to recognise the men if he saw them again.

The bags and letters were taken to Blandford the following mornine-, by two men of Milhorn whn ErteH thev had found them that morning in a field near the place of robbery the bags were cut open, and the letters loose several oemg opened and in a dirty state.

Sir, Allow me to call your attention, and that of vour many readers, to two measures, which, if carried into effect, will operate most injuriously on country booksellers and stationers. The Great Western Railway Company have now a bill before Parliament (as noticed by you last week) which, in clause 40, seeks for power to charge separately for every enclosure in parcels. Although this will affect many trades and professions, it will more especially affect the country booksellers; for they are of necessity obliged to supply their customers from the different publishers, and as a matter of convenience all enclosures are sent to one house, to be packed together and it not unfrequently happens that ten or fifteen small parcels are enclosed in one, costing the country bookseller two or three shillings, according to weight and bulk, and which must certainly be considered a fair remuneration to the Railway Companies. And yet the Great Western Railway Company seek power to charge each enclosure separately. Should they obtain their end In this respect, the same powers would be sought by other companies, who would thus be in possession of the means of utterlv ruinine1 country tradesman.

The other measure to which I would wish to draw public attention is the contemplated intention of government to stamp post paper. Surely, Sir, the introduction of stamped envelopes was injury enough, without the infliction of this additional grievance, wnicn cannot be counterbalanced by any nublic erood. The stationers throughout the have been the gratuitous and principal means of collecting uie post-omce revenues, ana inis attempt to monopolize a great portion of their trade, will. I hone, receiv the iuaf condemnation of the good thinking and influential part of uie puuiic. am, oir, your ooeaient servant, Southampton, March 3, 1844.

BIBLIOPOLA. The objectionable clause, respecting enclosures contained in parcels, is withdrawn by the Great Western Railway Company. In the House of Commons on Monday night last, on the occasion of a petition being presented against rne clause, i.ora jonn nusseu saia ft was not the inten tion ot the promoters ot the bill that they t. e. the enclo 8ures, should apply to tradesmen generally.

The company merely intended to protect themselves against what thev conceived to be the lrauddlent practices of carriers. That question, however, had now been considered by the railway committee, and the company had therefore determined to withdraw those clauses, and restrain themselves to whatever provisions ot a general nature the committee mig-ht recom- UICUURIIUDIUCUI IU WlUll.

The body was exhumed on Saturday night Inst and an examination of the stomach was made by Mr. Turner, surgeon, on Sunday.

From what the Coronerstated, at the opening of the inquest, poison was detected but, for further proof; Mr. T. thought it necessary to take the stomach with its contents to London, for the purpose of getting an analysing chemist to test it further. Strong evidence was adduced against the prisoner; and, after six hours' investigation, she was again committed for further examination. Chichester Police.

A resolution of the Committee. for altering the title and rules of the Association, to render it more closely ui accordance with similar associations recently established for the Protection of Agriculture, was submitted to the meeting, and adopted without a dissentient voice. A very cheering report was made of the progress of ine Association and organised measures were shown to oe in operation for extending its sphere of usefulness over the whole of the southern division of the county. Amongst other gratifying communications read to the meeting was one rrom a gentleman, heretofore a warm supporter ot the liberal party in this city, expressing his full approbation of the objects ot the Association, and enclosing a subscription to its funds.

A few weeks ago, a person calling himself Edgecumbe, entered into an engagement to rent a house and shop in the Brittox, Devizes. A respectable" reference having been given, and Mr. Edgecumbe declared a highly responsible" man, our tradesmen of course very reaauy supplied mm wuu guous ano Mr. KdgecumDe took up his residence at the Black Horse, whilst the house was undergoing a coat or two of paint. It was at length very comfortably furnished, and rendered fit for Mr.

Edgecumbe's reception but on Saturday last other highly responsible" gentlemen, of Mr. Edgecumbe's acquaintance, came into the town, armed with an execution, for the purpose of disposing of all the goods on the premises by auction. This was certainly a new and artful dodge" but fortunately, it was necessrry to procure some document from the Sheriff. In the mean time, the matter got wind" a meeting of the Devizes creditors immediately took place, and without a moment's hesitation they determined upon going directly upon the premises, and seizing the goods which they respectively supplied. This they effectively carried into execution and by the time the highly responsible" men arrived' the premises were thoroughly cleared.

On Monday morning another person named Thompson arrived, and produced an order from Mr. Edgecumbe to take possession of aU the goods on the premises, in satisfaction of a bill which he had discounted for this highly responsible" man. Mr. Thompson, however, gained nothing by his visit. Who the unhappy sufferers are we do not know.

A number of swindb rs have lately been practising at Tewkesbury, and from the description given of them, it is not unlikely thai Edgecumbe belongs to the gang. Devizes Gazette. Bvsouit at Ltpiatt. A few weeks since we recorded the pnr-ticulars of a daring burglary, accompanied by violence, which had been perpetrated at Lypiatt, near Corsham, on Tuesday, the 23rd of January. The scene of the crime was the house of a respectable farmer, named Hulbert, who, with his wife and three daughters, resided in a solitary house in that vicinity.

The features of the case appear to have been characterised by coolness, effrontery, and cruelty After the perpetration of the crime the viUains escaped, and some weeks elapsed before any clue could be found even to fix suspicion on the parties now in custody. Four persons were, however at length apprehended one of them at Taunton, and the other three at Framp-ton, in Gloucestersnire. Then- names are James Smith, Stephen Roberts Common, George Smith, and Elizabeth Baker. On Monday these prisoners were brought to Chippenham, before Sir John Awdry Capt. Rooke, G.

The attendance was not so numerous as on a former occasion, though the attractions were greater. Misses Mareliall and Poole, from London, were engaged, and with Mr. Leach and Mr. Cooper, were the principal vocalists on this occasion. The leader was Mr.

E. W. Thomas, and the whole was conducted by Dr. Chard. Of the merits of this concert, we wish to speak favorably, and therefore confine ourselves to a few general observations on this and similar provincial concerts.

Since the commencement and successful continuation of the Exeter Hall concerts, with its 500 performers, musical amateurs seem animated with a desire to emulate this praiseworthy institution and making due allowance for their sometimes mistaken zeal in the cause, they have, generally, where assisted by professional advice and assistance, succeeded in creating a love of musical art, ana amusement ana gratification to their friends. How far the real interests of the art are benefitted by it is another question, which nothing but a few years experience can decide. That the cultivation of music is one of the character istics oi uie lytn century no one can deny. But whether on the part of the public this arises from a genuine feeling in tavor of the art, or whether it is because it is a fashionable wucmci i ciuuvBuu ior ine sake or display nothing but time can develorje. One obstacle ci iut whiA must ultimately, considerably affect the nest ion nnn that is the fact of the principal portions of such orchestras being made up of an assemblage of persons, of whom three or four have rarely met before.

The great advantage possessed by the Exeter Hall Society Is that the members composing the chorus and orchestra, (which is filled Dy ail tne best professional talent of the metropolis, togetner witn tlie leader and conductor, are those with whom the society commenced. In Knmc nf tVm larger towns, as Manchester, 4cc. these same advantages are possessed, and considerably facilitates the proper performance of the best works of the greatest masters, from continued rehearsals by the same amateurs, under the direction of properly qualified professors, whose continued ex ertions secure tne best effects, here this is accomplished the real interests of the musical art are sown where it is maue suoservient to any other purposes it is degraded However talented a conductor or WW mm-1 sible, without a previous thorough acquaintance witli the united duties, that they can all operate together to a c-ood end; and where this is left to the casual chance of such persons as may fall in the way, a circumstance frequently occurring in the provinces, it cannot be expected that the music can be effective. The orchestra on this occasion could not have had more than one or two rehearsals. Mr.

Thomas ua clever roolinist, and exerts himself greatly, and the ociety ought to feel themselves indebted to him. Dr. Chard proved his efficiency as a conductor by filling in the second violin and viola parts, which instruments were scarcely heard. Mr. Pitcher's violoncello, and Mr.

Conduit's contra basso, were eminently useful. The overture Esther) opened the first part. Three or four rehearsals would have made a great difference in the effect. Mr. Leach in the re-cititive When, the earth Handel, followed.

Miss Mar-enall recitative and air, Speak ye who best can tell" was well given, but she sang to greater advantage afterwards at first her voice was rather tremulous. Mr. Leach in Cal-cotf Last man," sang correctly, but it wanted energy we thought the beautiful poetry demanded a greater effort! Had it been given so, the accompaniment might have been brought up to it. Mr. Thomas did Ids best for it, and we are sure Mr.

Leach is capable of more. He sang just well enough to convince that he can do better. An air, I will sinri of thy great nercy," from the Stabat Mater" of Rossini, followed, by Miss Poole, most elwrmiiig-ly sung-, and deservedly encored. We however could have wished for another rehearsal for the first horn. Mr.

Thomas and Mr. Pitcher substituted their instruments for the bassoon parts cleverly. The peculiar characteristic of Mendelsohn's music ties in Ids instrumentation. Tne recitative and air from rhe T-oHo- ang," given by Mr. Cooper, depended cliiefly on this for cucui.

voice seemed inadequate to the piece, and but foe the timely aid of the conductor's assistance at the pianoforte (not a very splendid instrument, by the bye), a most uuwMwnMMB puruuu ui rne inner parts ot the lnstrumenta tion, the second violin and viola, would hav lwn The chorus A 11 ye that cried un to tfie Lord," was rendered very uncertain the sopranos at the commencement seemed xo nave lew or no copies. In conclusion, we would remark, that the last chorus, Worthy the Lamb," was much hurried, and the bass singers literally roared it out. The semi-chorus suffered from the same cause. The commencement of this beautiful chorus is in the form of a dialogue "ui ue uurnea, or it is aestroyea. Un the whole the subscribers to these concerts mav cnn0rnr.11la.tj tliom! elves on the exertions used by the Committee for their amusement, and whose liberality has secured a succession of novelties while the local professors of the city have, by their unanimity and praiseworthy exertions.

efevtrl tho character of their art a most desirable object in the present day and we trust that both performers and audience will have no reason to regret the establishment of the Winchester Philharmonic Society. Ah Aoci dkjvt of a serious nature happened to Mr. Clark, of Timsbury Farm, near Romsey, on Wednesday. Mr. C.

was using or superintending the use of a new agricultural implement, called, we believe, a cat's-claw, which struck him under the chin. The flow of blood in consequence was so profuse, that apprehensions of the blow provinsr fatal were entertained, but we are happy to hear that he is now recrvenng. Rock Harmonicon. Mr. Ail wood, with his all-stone instrument the rock -harmonicon, performed at the Townhall, Komsey, last evening, under the auspices ot the Literary Society.

The members of the Mechanic's Institution at tended also, by arrangement, and the performance appeared to give general satisfaction. Comums to the Bridewxll during the Week. E. Beard and M. A.

Royal Marine Residence. Osborne House, the jat of Ladv Isabella Blachford, which has been lontf advertised for sale, has been taken for her Majesty, for one or two years, with the option ot purchasuig it eventually. The Royal household is expected down in May, but considerable additions must be made to the building before it can accommodate a very large establishment. It is beautifully situated, in a fine park with abundance of noble timber. The views are extensive and of varied beauty, though certainly not equal to Norris Castle, which latter conunands the Southampton water, and the Roadstead of Cowes, wluie Osborne takes a more easterly view, taking in Portsmouth, Spithead, being shut out by the high grounds ot orris from the views to the westward.

The following gratifying encomiums were given to the Messrs. White, the builders of the Waterwitch, in the course of the debate on the Navy Estimates, in the House of Commons, on Friday, the 1st inst. Captain Rous said" The fastest and finest brig he (Captain Rous) liad seen in our navy was the Waterwitch. which was built by Mr.

White, and was purchased into the service eight or nine years ago. She was five years on the coast of Africa, and last vear the Admiralty reauired. from the Portsmouth Dockyard, an estimate of the expense of putting her into a complete state oi repair. The surveyor reported that her repairs would cost about 6,400. and that she was in the worst possible condition.

It was supposed that the Admiralty would have ordered her to be broken up but Mr. White, of Cowes, the builder, having heard of the circumstance, informed the Admiralty that he would take the contract on his hands, and complete the repairs for one-half the estimate given by the surveyor at Portsmouth." Captain PccheU said Look at the case of the Waterwitch at first the Admiralty refused to buy her at length they did purchase her and sent her to the coast of Africa, where she remained five years, and returned with all her sails, masts, and rigging, as equipped by a private builder, Mr. White, of Cowes, perfect. The services she had per formed were almost beyond belief, and the number of sla vers she captured pursuant to the treaties effected bv the noble lord the member for Tiverton, shewed the necessity of senamg out vessels oi tne description oi tne atcrwiten to the Atncan coast. Hut during the yvar, even the gallant admiral himself (Sir G.

Cockburn) could never get his own lme-ol-battle ship to overtake or come near an American privateer. The Waterwitch had, however, shown herself to be a description ot vessel that could do this, and other vessels were now building of which every naval officer muBt highly approve. MERCANTILE SHIPPING.
