A case is at present befure one of the Eng- lieh crimpinal -ourts that excites great attention throughout the country. The London Times of December 17, in the course of an editorial thus states the circumstances “Mr. Bonwell, formerly of Brasenose C»!- lege. Oxford, is incumbent of St. Phillips, Stepney, where he generally resides, reoms at- tached to the schovlroom being fitted up for his use. He is a married man, with one child, and his wife. at the time of the commission of the d offence, kept a school in another part 4 op, where Mr. Bonwell occasionally visited her. The lady implicated in the case was the daughter ofa clergyman named Yorath living at Newport, in Monmouthshire. Last year, Mise Yorath, then on a visit to Margate, ecame acquain-ed with Mr. Bonwell, who, it is asserted, gave himself out asa widower, and soon became the accepted suitor of Miss Yo- rath. In December, the lady left Margate. in order, as her friends thougbt, to return to Newport, but, instead of doing so, she re- mained, it is said, a fortnight m London, in lodgings hired for her by Mr. Bonwell. There is no necessity for fMowing the steps of the history; but in May last she paid a second visit to Margate, and Miss Am the friend with whom she had heen staying, perceived that ehe was pregnant. Indeed, if the evidence is to be believed, there can be no doubt that Mr. Bonwell seduced the lady under a promise of marriage. “Shortly after the fortnight in London, Mr. Bonwell visited Newport, and there, according to the evidence of the lady’s brother and other persons, was fy of the grossest ape the sentations He presented himself as Miss Yorath’s accepted suitor and then and at sub- sequent visits was introduced in this character to all the friends of the tamily. Not only did he declare himself a widower, but said that ‘his friend the Bishop of Oxford’ would perform the marriage ceremony, and wished the Rev Hugh Williams, Chancellor of Llandaff, to assist.’ after the fashion which had prevailed of late. The marriage was fixed for June last, but before that time it began to be rumored that Mr. Bonwell was a married man. Mr. Lewis Yorath, the brother. broke off the match. In August it came to the bishop's ears that Mr. Bonwell had passed himself off as a single man to a family in the country. and had prevailed on a lady to marry him. The public will be a little startled at hearing that this conduct was thought by the Bishop worthy only of a ‘severe reprimand, and that Mr. Bonwell was sent back from London House to teach morality to bis flock. But within a few days his lordship received two anoymous letters, which caused him to place the matter in the hands of the lice, and it was discovered that a child had n born in the school-house at St. Phillip’s, Stepuey, and buried under suspicious cireum- stances. ‘It is beyond a doubt that Miss Yorath was suddenly taken with the pains of labor while visiting Mr. Bonwell; that she gave birth to a male child; and that, after remaining twelve days at the school-house, she was taken, with the child, to a hotel on the other side of Lon- don bridge. Here the child died, and was car- ried away and buried by an undertaker in a coffin with another body. The child was ex- bumed, and a ooroner’s jury returned a verdict that it died of inanition. and in express terms censured the conduct of the Rev. Jas. Bonwell. ~ These facts being proved in evidence, the commission has decided that there are grounds for a further inquiry into Mr. Bonweli's con- duct.” ~~ +02, - Teacuixe 4 Deacon.—A gentleman who re- sides in the town of Elmore, Mequango county, is, as he describes himself, very oxsartain in politics, and besides that, is the most onsertuin practical joker we have heard of of late. Here 1s one of bis jokes : The gentleman was in his store one Sunday moruing, preparing for the duties of the day, wen the deacon entered. An unfortunate pack of cards was lying on the counter, and the dea » 83 in duty bound, remonstrated with the joker on hia villainous practice. The latter ad- mitted that it was at least an idle waste of time, aud taking the cards in his hand, moralized on the subject just as well and warmly as the dea- con. At the same time be allowed a few cards to fall here and thereon the counter, they 1 very much in the shape of tricks, and as if the two had been “ taking a hand At this juncture another member of the church came in, (the post office was in the store) and all at once the joker placed his finger on a couple of cards on the counter. exclaiming * Now, deacon, I tell you this won't do. The Queen always takes Jack, and ten the nine, and s» down, and if you don t attend you will never learn the game That Jack is a good card, my Queen takes it. besides one on count for game. ~ Why, neighbor.” exclaimed the horrified deacon. - what on earth do yen mean by all that’* * Exactly what [ say. was the reply; * the {Queen takes the Jack and its mine—you might huve trumped with it and saved it long ago; now this Jack with low and the game puts me out At this moment the gentleman from Mequan- g® cotn’y turned round, pretended for the first momen’ ty notice the brother deacon who bud entered. looked confused. dropped the cards and vanished Of course the deacon was canght playing cards on Sunday. He was cited to appear be- fore the church for his backsliding. and a: the evidence was complete. would have been con- victed and severely punished, in spite of all his protestations of ignorance, had not our ac qtintance of the town of Elmore made his ap- pearance in the nick of time, as a witness in favor of the deacon, told a round unvarnished tale, and procured for him an acquittal. It is said to this day the deacon has an in- creasing horror of cards, and though he feels aconriction that the ‘Queen will take the Jack,” and the Jack can take the deacon, yet be havan utter aversion to giving his + high low Jack.” ee Cax Travec Lixs Pizex.—The electric tele- far h is bound to remaina mystery to the mil- ion, and ludicrous conceptions of its rod i< operandi, whieh some of the most ignorant people have formed, are as mirth provoking as anything out of Rabelais orSmollett. The last iilustration of this that has fallen under our eyes, is the fullowing story from the Pittsburg Journal: Not long since, an old lady entered O'Reilly's office iv this city, and said she had a message to send to Wheeling. In a few mingtes her note was deposited ina dumb waiter, and ns- | eended ina mysteriovs manner throv z * that going straight to Wheeling’ in- quired the old lady, with her eyes bent upon the ceiling. | ~ Yes. ma’am.”* answered the clerk | “« T never was there.” it hardly seems possible t that direction Mr. Telegraph’ + Tean scarcely tell, ma‘am:; it may be two or three hours.” The old lady went away. and returned inex- actly two hours Just as «he entered the door toe damb waiter came down through the ceil- iog ~ There is your answer, ma'am,” ssid the clerk The old lady took the neat yello velope hands, with a smile of mingled gratifi- eation and astonishment “Now, that beatsall, exclaimed she, ‘bless my heart All the way frou Wheeling. and the wafer still wet That is an awkward look ing box, but it ean travel like pizen continued she, “ but hat their town lies in When will I get an answer, Carr. Pace’s Expxpit: The lost account from Capt Page. commanding the U.S explo- ting expedition, were from Villa Marfa. on the Paraguay river. They were in good health, and to proceed up the river. Eben + ing The following extract is taken from a long statement in the New York Herald, giving an account of the present state of the negro settle- ment in Canada, their history, &c. At the southwest point of the Province of Canada is a neck of land running down between Lake Erie and the Detroit river, Lake St. Clair and the St. Clair river. It contains the coun- ties of Essex and Kent, the warmest portion of the province, and it is in those counties that the negroes who escaped from the States mainly congregate. Windsor, situated on the river directly opposite Detroit, is the western termi- nus of the Great Western railway, and is in the township of Sandwich, in Essex county. On the south and southwest of Sandwich, along the Detroit river and Lake Erie, are the townships of Anderdon, Malden, Colchester, (iosfield, Mersea, and Romney. t In the three first-named townships, the ne- goes are found in large numbers, and tobacco- growing is now carried on there to a consider- able extent. The comparative mildness of the climate, and the black alluvial soil appear to favor the growth of the plant, while the negro is conversant with its culture. In Gosfield township there are some blacks, but compara- tively few, us the white residents have done their best to exclude them. In Mersea and Romney the people will not permit a negro to remain within the borders of the township over night. These places are settled principally by Hessians and other soldiers of the war of i313, the government having made grants of land to them there The town of Amherstburg, about eighteen miles below Windsor, on the Detroit river, is in the township of Malden, and is one of the oldest settlements in that part of Canada. It was laid out as a town in 1797, and was settled by fam ilies who, at the cession of Detroit, chose to go over to the Canadian side of the river. Some years ago, a tract of land, about twelve miles from Amherstburg, was purchased by some benevolent Qu:kers for the Purpose of support- ing fugitive slaves upon it. It is known as the Colchester settlement. The object was to raise contributions to build a school, and to support the negroes, partly by their own labor and partly by charity. But it was soon found that the blacks preterred the charity to the labor, and they sank into a colony of lazy, worthless thieves. The settlement has now gone to pieces, North of Sandwich are the townships of Maidstone, Rocheste, and West Tilbury, in Es- >x county, running along St. Clair. Along the river and on the borders of the Inke, the land is settled by French, and along the main road running through the centre of the town- ships the residents are mainly Scotch and Eng- lish. But very few negroes are there. and the interior of the townships are not much settled. In Kent county, adjoining Essex, the town- ship of Raleigh runs to Lake Erie, that of East Dover to Lake St. Clair, aad Chatham and Dawn townships are in the interior of the country. In these places the negroes are densely crowded at different settlements. The northern townships of Kext county are too cold for the black race. A thorough personal examination made in all the townships named where negroes are set- tled hasled to the conviction that every scheme for the amelioration of the condition of the fugitive slaves in Canada has proved, and must prove, a failure, and that any assistance given to the white and black abolitionists, British and American, who are at the present time en- gvged in running off the slaves of the Southern citizens, is only an injury to the negro, and helps to transfer him from a comfortable home anda position in life to which nature has fitted him, to plunge him into suffering, sickness, and crime. Report or tre Nortners Spies FRoW THE Sovrtn.—The New York correspondent of the Mobile Register, says - The Republican leaders here sent confiden- tial agents in September to every Southern State, to examine into and Teport the extent of arms and ammunition in the South that could be used in March, 1561, should Seward’s taking his seat be opposed. A copy of the report was sent by a friend in the office of the Indepen- dent I will merely mention what it contains in reference to Alabama, South Carolina and Georgia. The spies report that the arms and ammunition in Alabama is of no possible ac- count. Of South Carolina he speaks in the most contemptuous terms, and contrasts the arms god supplies of the Federal Government and fortress with those of the State at Colum- bia and Charleston. He eays there are not even rusty muskets in the State sufficient to arm 100 men. and if there were, that the mua- kets would explode and kill the holders. In Georgia, the spy says, there isa scarcity of arms, and of powder and shot for the ordinary hunting done in the State. Rey. MR. Guinness anv wis Penrit P: aRirtrs —The Presbyterian of last week say Althonzh it was the ntion of the Rey. Mr Guinness to have been in New York by this time. he is still in Philadelphia. For the last week or two he bas preached every night tocrowded con- xregations in the Rev. Dr. Wylie’schurch. Du- ring the first part of his visit curiosity was so much in the ascendant that compzratively little religious impression was produced. but recently things Lave assumed a very different and far more cheering aspect. We by no means regard Mr. Guinness aa a great preacher, or asa bril- Hiant one. but be is certainly a most earnest laborer in his Master's cause. For weeks past be hes preached every night, as often also in the af. ternoon, as well as three ti on the Sabbath. Ja many things be reminds us of Dr. Nettleton He does not desire singing after the sermon. and frequently requests that the congregation will dis- perse aout speaking a word. In some cases, Where the music Las not suited him, be has ven- tured to take things somewhat in his own hands. by reading out two lines of the hymn ata time, aid requesting the congregation to sing; and we must say that the success has been so eminently edifying that we almest wender that from that momentthis was not adopted as the permanent style for that part of the service.” Tue Groorarny of CoxseMption —Consump- tlon originates in all latitaudes—from the equator, where the mean temperature is eighty degrees. with slight variations, to the higher portion of the temperate zone, where the mean temperature ia forty degrees, with sudden and violent changes The opinion, long entertained, that it is peculiar to cold and humid climates, is founded on error Far from this being the case, the tables of mor- tality warrant the conclusion that consumption is more prevalent in tropical than in temperate coun- tries. Viel ig rare in the Arctic regions, in Siberia, Iceland. the Faroe Islands, the Ork- neys, Shetlands, and Hebrides. And in contir- mation of the opinion tbat it decreases with the decrease of temperature, itis shown from exten- sive data thatin Northern Europe it is most pre valent at the level of the sea, and that it decreases with tnerease of elevation toa certain point. It is uniformly more fatal in cities than in the coun- try. Sarre MaNevveR —At 4 fire on Mi higen avenue, in Detroit, a few days s nce, a member of oue of the fast fire companies saw another engine company down the street, ahead of bis own com- pany, aud from the direction they were running, be came to the conclusion that they were intend- ing to take the hydrant near which he was stand- inz. directly opposite the fire. He kicked ont the head of a four barrel which was filled with toes, and spills them ont, turus the empty arrel over the vaesat and seats himself q' upon it, and commenced singing.
