We trust, iiiiinfOrO, that F.'s" hint will be taken up, not only by small, but by all congregations—and even they should sot confine the inestimable boon to their clergy.

GUNPOWDER ACClDENT.—Yesterday an explosion of gunpowder occurred at No. 124, High-street, Borough, in the occupation of Mr. Harris, a tailor. It appeared that Mr. Harris was engird in the first floor front amusing his chil dren by disChsnii• small trains of gunpowder on the table • whilst he was so employed the contents of powder in the flask, which he was holding, suddenly exploded, injuring the child in the face, blowing off the flesh of Mr. Harris's right hand, and forcing the windows of the room out. Mr. Harris was discovered bleeding most copiouly, and the fleth from his hand was sticking upon the ceiling He was placed on a shutter and removed to the ho-pital, where be remains in a dreadful state of suffering. The child was also so in jured es to be obliged to have surgical attendance. For tunately the house escaped destruction.

It appeared that the deceased had been bliad for forty-three years, having loft his sight in an engagement from a gen shot wound. He had been much depressed in spirits since the loss of the Solway steamer, in which his daughter and other relatives perished. Decea sed, who was 72 years of age, had only Me:. per annum from the East India Company for kis services, although Lord Comber mere had taken up his case, and deceased had himself memorialised Sir James babiogton, the deputy chairman, without success, which much vexed his mind. About one o'clock yesterday morning, Bartlett Louis, his French set. not, hearing a strange neise in deceased's room, went to Ns what was the matter, and found him lying on the bed with a frightful gash in his throat, and in his right hand an open razor ; he was quite dead.

ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY OF IRELAND. The usual half-yearly meeting of this body teak pleas es Friday, to receive the report of the conned, and make arrangementa for the annual cattle show, and allocation of mantra to farming modeler for the caning year. The Duke of Lemur took the chair. Tke meeting was very numerous, thoegh engraved by many of the higher clam of proprietors, who have not taken that active interest in the affairs of the society which is hie from their own welfare. The report, whit& wee well drawn up, touched on various subjects. After having acknowledged the support the society received from its members, the council " express their regret that they do not receive that support and oe operation from many proprietors which they may ream ably expect, and which their leading objects and the pee ing exigency of the Wale so urgently demand." What • reproach to the greet body of Irish landlords, who complain of fields un and uadrained, and yet will not contribute a few pounds toe society whose object is agricultural pros perity, to which they are gradually but surely disciplining the public mind. After some remarks on the late show at Londonderry, which wee significant from the number of tenant farmers who attended and took part in the proceed ings, the report notice. the condition of the local farming societies, which have fallen away in the pest year, partly from the depression of the times, and partly, and in a sti ll greater proportion, iu consequence of the apathy of the pro prietors. The council, however, will continue their support, and, is addition to the usual prises, another will be given to the working farmers' class, for the largest quantity of land dug or mil/soiled by spade or plough after being thorough drained, the quantity not to be lee than one sere. A long paragraph of the report is devoted to the project of the Earl of Clarendun, which is now in active operation throughout the most neglected districts. Bight instructors hive been sent down, but any other localities will be provided with similar instruction un condition that they contribute one half of the expense, the society contributing the remainder. The eminent succees of the movement, " for which the society, as well es the country at large, are deeply indebted to the Earl of Clarendon," has confirmed the:mete/ in the opinion that " a regular system of practical instruction among the farming classes would be most desirable, and that, if followed up, it would prove the moat effective mean, by which • practical know ledge of improved husbandry and tillage, oombiued with rural and domestic economy, could be most effectually im parted." The society also trusts that measure will be adopted for the permanent and general establishment of the system in all parts of the country. A great desideratum in the proceedings of the society has been the publication of a journal similar to the Scotch and English agricultural quar terlies. This want is about to be remedied, arrangements leaving been made with a Dublin publisher to print the MeMeactions of the society, which are to be furnished at half pries to each member of the society, and to other subearibers et the cost of 2s. 6d. per number. That a publication of this nature will be successful, the society infers from the ex. traordinary success which has attended the issue of " Clap perton's Instructions," not fewer than 67,000 copies having been circulated among the farming amen In connexion with this source of knowledge, the report alludes to the formation of an agricultural chemistry department, as the instrument of affording to the more extensive and employing classes of agricuiturists the means of improving their know ledge of the roil and its products. The report having been adopted, Captain KENNEDY suggested that the great mass of premiums should be given for drainage, and that hitherto too large a portion had been given for stock and tillsge.—bir. Lana, chief reinembrancer, agreed in this view, awl the matter was referred to a sub committee. Sir Roemer HANS then brought forward the special report on agricultural chemistry. Some time peat a number of scientific gentlemen formed themselves into a society called "The Dublin Chemico Agricultural Society," end applied to the Royal Agricultural Society for its patronage end co-operation. The subject was referred to a committee of the letter body, whose report Sir Robert Kane now brought forward. The society refuses to be identified with the new body, but to carry out its objects the report recom mends the following plan: " That • standing committee of seven members, to be called the committee of chemistry and geology, be formed ; that all questions regarding that branch of science be referred by the council to that committee; and also that ell communi cations from local bodies or members, with respect to che mical information by analyses, be laid before the committee. In connexion with the committee of seven, it is also proposed to appoint • chemist, who should carry on analyses, &c., te be paid out of a tariff, which is to be fixed by the committee, in conjunction with the chemist. The latter Is to supply his own laboratory and materials, but lest the tariff should prove insuffieieut, it is recommended to pay him an annual salary, which is left blank in the report, although an offer of 751. is made in the subsequent observations of Sr Robert. The report was unanimously adopted. There is a doubt as to the place for bolding the next cattle-show. The liberality of the landed proprietors of Kilkenny war almost successful in inducing the society to hold the meeting in that county, but some difficulty having arisen in consequence of the retinal of the Cashel Company to carry stock tree, or on reasonable terms, as other coma parties have dose, the negotiation has been broken off, and the place of the next provincial meeting remains to be fixed. PROGRIIIS or rose " PRACTICAL Ixerancvons."—Re ports of progress live been made public by four of those gentlemen deputed in consequence of Lord Clarendon's sug gestion to proceed amongst the farmers and convey to them practical instruction in cultivation and good husbandry. One of those gentlemen, whose mission was southwa k writing from Killarney, says that he waited on the board of poor-law guardians there and asked for their aid and co-ops ration, which he afterwards found was, on deliberation by the board, refused. "Thus," he writes, "verifying the opinion I expressed in my former report that my greatest difficulty would be in getting the assistance and co-operation of the gentry." Notwithstanding, however, his misdate basset been ineffective. The farmers, small and large, received him favourably, as also such gentry as Sir W. Godfrey, Mr. Bland, and Mr. Cronin, high sheriff of the county. He con veyed some valuable instruction as to the saving and appli cation of manures and the management of green crops, in which considerable failures occurred this year because of the want of knowledge in this particular. The Knight of Kerry received him with great consideration, and the catholic clergy also. Upon the island of Valentia be saw " good crops of parsnips, turnips, and mangel wurzel." This is the Knight's property. Ha says great exertions are being made to revive the posts, which he has nut discouraged. In Mayo the instructor was even worse received than in Kerry, and by the same class, that is by the landlords. The farmers, whenever he held communiattion with them, were I anxious to learn; the proprietors seemed determined that they should not. It is well that these facts should be re membered when parliament comes to legislate between landlord and tenant, as it will show who those are who most obstinately oppose progress. At Ballinzobe:the inspector ad dressed the peasantry, but no persons of influence, save the Rev. Mr. Anderson, the rector, and Mr. C. Kenny, a magis trate, were present. Neither of those gentlemen are proprie tors norcaltivators to any extent. Under these circumstances, Mr. Goode, the instructor, started for flisllymount, where Mr. Spencer Lindsay, a large proprietor, resides, but, " as he appeared to think unfavourably of his object, he started for Westp Rt." Why he omitted to act in Castlebar, Lord LUeltli'll territory, he does not state, but it is not because in struction is not needed there. At Westport he waited on Lord Sligo, the owner of the tows, and of immense tracts around it on all aides, " but he expressed no hope of his being useful ;" at petty sessions, where he went to meet the meg, atrates, they would take "no notice whatever of bins," with the exception of a Mr. Garvey, a small proprietor. And, in fact, the only gentlemen who received him well was Dr. Burke, Roman catholic dies of Tusm, who pro mised him to address hie dock on the subject, and to secure him the sedetanee of his clergy— The instructor waited upon Mr. Cisodining, land agent to Lord Sligo, and also, I behave, to Sir Richard O'Dounel, of whew/ improvements we esesselmes hear a good deal, but of mares Mr. Cleadiniag esemod convinced of the in utility alb visit," and wadi de neshbig.

This intemperance is greatly to be regretted ; it cannot do good—nay, it must do ham. If the English operative daises ate ever to rise in the political seals,.it must be by the amistance, and not in defiance, of those who are next in rank above them the wisdom of this counsel has already come home to not a few of them. The economical doctrines of The Labourer are, we feu, unsound, end the general intro dnetion of a small proprietary class in the manner therein recommended, quite impracticable ; but we need not quarrel with its readers for trying for themselves a new social experiment; and this good will certainly result from it, that the members of the land company, by acquiring a right of property themselves, however small, cannot bat contract an instinctive reverence for that of others. No contemptible object pined that, even if there be no other. The People's Press is published in the Isle of Man, and is perhaps the cheapest—that is. in quantity of paper and letter press given for the money—of all the Lanese( the popular litera ture. That island in a very focus and hot-bed of democratic periodicals. One of its privileges being non-liability to stamp duties, newspapers and ether works can be pub lished there without stamp, and transmitted to all parts of the kingdom—England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireknd, in the centre of which it is very conveniently situated for the purpose, through the Post-office, free of cost. Newspapers published there have consequently • clear advantage of a penny each copy over those issued in London or in the non privileged provinces. The Isle of Man is therefore one of the foci of radicalism. llamado( being dependent upon the mainland for its literary aliment, it has actually a large ex port trade in that commodity. The People's l'ress is quite a paragon of cheapness. Nor are the contents generally of a loose or intemperate character. It aims chiefly at being useful ; and to those who have not ample opportunities of watching the course of events, its pages offer no con temptible means of keeping informed of the history of the time. First, there is the history of the month—home and foreign. Then follows the news of the month. After this come articles, original and selected, on political, social, moral, and scientific subjects—markets, poetry, reviews, letters, lectures, and other miscellaneous matter, filling thirty-two pages of closely-packed letter-pew all for twopence ! The selections and compilations, we may add, are on the whole judiciously made, and the original contributions clever and interesting. The Republican is a new venture, and we know not whether as yet it have any readers. There is, however, talent in it ; and it will probably, therefore, not be long with out an audience. The title, of course, is suggestive of all sorts of extreme views, and of a struggle for organic changes in the constitutions of the country. These political ideas, as we intimated before, are more widely spread amongst the labouring chases—amongst the more reflective and better educated of them, to whom The Republican is evidently ad dressed, especially—than most persons imagine. But its con ductors announce their intention not to contend for mere forms ; while they entertain strong opinions as to the fittest administration of freedom, they viral first press for the recog nition only of that principle which, they say, is the founda tion of all permanent liberty—the sovereignty of the people. Articles on Italy and her Princes, Taxation, Christian Republicanism, the Currency, and other topics, make a very readable, if not actually clever, first number. So far as immediate and probable reforms are concerned, we cannot but highly approve of the spirit which it exhibits. The tone is calm, unimpassioned, logical, and, therefore, far more likely to promote the political enfranchisement of the muses than its more belligerent compeers. Instead of de nunciation, it addresses the middle classes as allies and sue courers of the lower. It appeals to their common sympa thies and common interests to unite; and, as the former have the power, it counsels them to trust the people and use it for the improvement of their condition. The Poor Man's Guardian—that formidable instrument in the early days of cheap literature—has reappeared under the apparent mag pie, of Mr. Cochrane, and is devoted lto the investi gation of the state of the metropolitan workhouses—a work very necessary to be done ; but whether it has fallen into the right hands is a question not to be discussed in this place. There is matter, however, in it to arrest attention ; I and parochial authothiee will do well to look to it in time. Ps terrible responsibility is falling upon them, with the ap proaching winter. Philanthropy, also, as well as organised but frequently inefficient autlionty, should be up and doing. There is work enough for ail. IRELAND. Dustin, Nov. 27. The week which has elapsed has been one of the most quiet and orderly Ireland has enjoyed for some months. Whether this improved condition is owing to the session of parliament and the prospect of remedial applications, or to the more efficient working of the poor law, which is gradually gaining on the general distress, it is difficult to say ; but the result is clear. Disorder has considerably abated. The country looks forward with much anxiety to the revelations of Sir G. Grey, in his demand for coercive powers. That the measure will be of a limited character, and applicable only to the disturbed districts, is univer sally admitted; but then the fear which always kange l on uncertainty makes the public very nervous. The Mail is for " stringent enactments," and swim as au axiom that " the assassin ought to be dis armed." True enough; bat how do it? The I Mail feels the difficulty of a general disarming, and prudently evades it. Among a variety of repressive modes, it is proposed that all " who I know and concur in the cutting off of valuable menl lby the hand of the assassin shall be transported, us.' less they prove their secrecy and inactivity to have I been forced ." This proposition is borrowed from the military code of '9B, and worked wonders in its time for the gibbet and the convict ship. The whole i question is one of the most embarrassing that could occupy the mind of a statesman, and none feels it more sensibly than the noble earl, who has to study the present repose and future progress of Ireland, me well as to cultivate the confidence and affections of its people. Violent coercion has acted as a corrosive poison on the social constitution and political morals of the Irish peasantry. The attack on Mr. Bailey has excited the fears of ' the Nenagh guardians. They are already looking to the paid successors. At the lastraestingottheboard,the workhouse was surrounded by an immense number of paupers in the most abject state of destitution. were orderly, but drenched with rain and covered ir si i s l i e Z rags. A Mr. Pat Magrath opened the discussion with a report of the popular feeling, which was I stron strongly impressed wit h the conviction that the •guardians had plenty of money but refused whereupon Mr. Waller suggested that, to avoid public odium, and perhaps a worse fate, recourse should be had to a stipendiary substitute. Notice of a motion to that effect was placed upon the books, the chairman prudently enough observing on the impoliey el an act which would throw the management and taxation of the union into the hands of strangers. • A little exertion, with a slight temporary sacrifice, Is only required to mitigate locals uffering. But the mischief is, that with abundant talk we have little action. In Waterford, both landlords and farmers appear to understand their own and the public in terests. In the electoral division of Crook the em ployment of the labouring poor is so extensive, that every able-bodied man in the division has full work, and the rates are moderate. In the Old Castle union also a revision was made, and 166 able-bodied paupers selected, all of whom were taken at once and em ployed by the rate-pavers, at the rate of ens labourer for every 20 acres of land. The consequences are apparent in the saving of expense and general com fort of the union. The workhouses are being filled up to the heavy complement of last year. The danger of crowding tardier ash numbers has influenced the poor-law eawasistiksan to issue an order to each union, re stricting** number of inmates to be maintained in the waddionse and the temporary additions.

SCOTLAND. EDIII3ITRON, NOT 27 Notwithstanding several recent complaints of dul ness in the iron trade, the minerals on the estate of Kase, on the banks of Doan, Ayrshire, have been let to an English company, who are to commence opera tions in January next. The iron works at Dalmel lington in the same county will soon be working, the engines being now in process of construction. A flagrant instance of the operation of the entail law has recently transpired. About twenty years ago, a border proprietor whose rental was 7,0001. per annum, became bankrupt, signed a trust deed, left the country, and has not since returned. Being entailed, the creditors could not touch the estate, and have never received one farthing. The estate itself is going to ruin, as the nominal proprietor can do nothing for it. The North British Mail publishes a list of closed mills, seven in number, which have thrown 2,670 hands out of employment. Almost all the Glasgow mills that are going are still on short time. DEATH•SCENI AT DUNDES.—AR Irish family, consisting of six individuals, were recovering from a seven and linger ing ferer, to which the father had fallen a victim ; and, as their condition was that of extreme poverty, and all being in a weakly state, the people in the neighbourhood had sub scribed to pay for a nurse till some of them became stronger, or, at least, until the last offices were paid to the departed. The nurse entered en her duties on Wednesday, and late at night was seen in apparently good health. As neither she nor any of the family were seen abroad in the morning, and, u there was no sound of any one stirring about the house, the neighbours, towards the forenoon, be gan to suspect that all was not right inside. At length some of them made their way into the miserable abode. They found the nurse dead, the grandmother (a eery old woman), the mother, and four of the family, lying on the floor, deprived of the power of moving a limb or even uttering an inarticulate sound.—Adoerturr. They were all con- , veyed to the infirmary. [We (Courier) understand that the above melancholy occurrence Knee from the noxious vapour emitted by a quantity of gas cinders, with which the nurse had kindled a fire, and the want of ventila tion to ounteract its influence. The individuals carried to the infirmary recovered the use of their speech on Friday, so as to be able to give an account of what led to the death' of their attendant, and their own alarming illness. They are now rapidly recovering. MR. JOHN DVNCAN,the African traveller, is now at state boasts, of which place he is a native, oa a visit to his mother and sister. —Dumfries t'it' andard.

Wright, the celebrated, steeple climber, made his second debut in Perth, on Friday, by mounting to the vane of St. John's Church, in presence of thousands of wondering and not a little alarmed spectators. The feat on this occasion, although in our opinion not involving quite so fearful a risk as that of his ascent to St. Paul's, was still eminently perilous. The ele vation of his kite to convey a rope over or about the vane, as in the case of St. Paul's, failed here too. It got entan /led about the rigging of the West Church, and was torn to pieces. Mr. Wright would, however, be up, and the following is the method by which he accomplished the ascent. He obtained five rods, each about fifteen feet , long, so as on being joined together they would reach front the bartisin to the summit. 'I hey were no thicker than the butt end of a common fishing rod. The first he placed against the steeple, and with no other than the precarious footing afforded by the Livings d the lead, and with the rod as his only hold by his book be climbed; up so far as to be enabled to nail and lea the ter I of it to the steeple. Getting it steadied and secured thus, he pulled up a second rod by means of a cord, lashed it to the sop of the first, mounted it also, fastened its top, palled up a third, and so on until he reached the spire, where holding out his band in token of triumph, he was rested a burst of applause from the multitude below. H 4101111111.1114 up sad secured his tackle, and was soon safely eiela wt- be tisan. Altogether few would credit the prsadeskWty of lbw undertakings if they did not witness them. Men may be found to ascend to any altitude by means of scaffolding ; but to climb up steeples nearly perpendicular, 170 feet in height, by means of nails, little bite of twine, and tender sticks appears altegetber incomprehensible. Mr. Wright, of course, professes n• fear. On his giddy eminences he is evidently as much at ease as a crest lamplighter is upon his ladder when lighting a lamp. Yet he has cool, ekilltil, deli berate, and calculating qualities which counterbalance his extreme daring. He wants no more than one chance in a hundred to get to the top, and if he discover that chance he will make the task out. Both his undertakinp in Perth are evidences of this; for we (Porta Courier) heard one of our most daring and skilful slaters affirm that there were ninety nine chances against his life out of the hundred in his secant, especially to St. Paul's, and that probably not another man in the kingdom could do the same thing. We may mention that Mr. Wright has replaced the vane on St. Paul's, regilded it, and pointed the steeple down to the dial plate, to the satisfaction of the inspector appointed by the town council. PROVINCIAL. LANCASHIRE. ILLEGAL REMOVAL OF IRISH PAIIPERS.—At the Todmorden petty sessions, en Thursday, Mr. Roberts, clerk to the Rochdale board of guardians, preferred a charge against Thomas Uttley, relieving officer of the township of Heptonstall, of having, on the 21st of August last, sent from liebdenbridge to Rochdale two Irish paupers, Jane Jettison, and her son, Peter Johnson (an idiot, and unable to walk), contrary to the provisions of an act recently passed. Mr. Roberta stated the eve at considerable length, and called several witnesses, who proved that the defendant brought the paupers in a cart to the Hebdenbridge Railway Station, and paid their fare to Rochdale, giviag a strict charge to the railway guard to set down the parties at the Rochdale station, without fail. The parties, on arriving there, were delivered to the care of the clerk at the station, who found them in such a diseased and helpleu condition, that it was deemed necessary to remove them to the work house, and in two days afterwards they were removed to the fever ward, where they remained for a month.—Mr. Roberts insisted on the full penalty (M.) being enforced, and inti mated that he had also a similar charge, on account of the removal of the boy. Uttley was convicted in the penalty of 21. 10s. and 41. 3e. costa, amounting in all to 61. 13s. — Another case of illegal removal of paupers was else brought before the court. Mr. J. Stanalleld, clerk to the Tod morden union, summoned Mr. Leithly, relieving officer of Holbeck, Leeds, for having removed one Mary Ann Lanai., a pauper, residing at Leeds with her husband, a railway labourer, who, is consequence of severe distress, applied to the Ileibeck select vestry for relief, and received 3a. It &o peered in evidence that, on a second application for relief, they gave her 84. for the railway fare for herself and her ' husband to be conveyed to the township of Brringn, in the Todmorden ',mien. This occurred about the 23d of Oct. last. In consequence of Leithly danyieg the facts the case was ultimately adjourned; and the books of the Holbeck union ordered to be brought to the next sessions. A SHAM CANDIDATE FOR THE COUNTT.—On Fri day an electioneering hoax was perpetrated in the ship* of placards posted on the walla of Manchester, addressed " to the electors of the southern division," d. 4., purporting to be signed, " Anthony St. John Bagshaire ;" to be dated " Itivington-park, 26th November ;" and to be printed by "J.

Arrangements were made for the onaveyance of the MS out of the pit; scareely had they been rapier& before the reality presented itself ; • it irks of water had alreadyeommeraced, and was gradually Ailing every portion of the colliery in whira they bad but the moment before been engaged. The diaaay of the men may be imagined; their tools ware quickly thrown aside, and every man was brought to the mouth of the pit as quickly as the circurastanoss would possibly allow. They bad not remained long round the top of the shaft before they law the water still rapidly rising; and within three-quarters of an hour from the first alarm both pita were filled with water. The shafts are each about thirty yards deep ; and at this period the water had ascended to within three yards from the surface of the earth. This was the highest level it attained ; and soon afterwards there was r perceptible but not vary material sinking. When the alarm of the men had somewhat subsided, and it was presented no farther influx would take place, the steam-engine which usually works the colliery was put into requisition, and efforts were at once made to pump the water upwards, and convey it into an adjoining wateresoune—The working of the colliery will be suspended for several months, and several families will thus be deprived of their usual means of subsistense, as well as considerable loss incurred by the proprietary. The NEXT EXHIBITION OP THE ROYAL AGRI CULT tJ ea L Socurry.—On Thareday Lathe municipal council held a meeting at the Guildhall, York, to adopt necessary steps for the reception of this society in July next. The Lord Mayor explained that the invitation to the Agricultural Society to select York for their next July meeting was arizted on certain conditions, which the deputation from and other places were prepared to concur in, had their respective town, been selected, and on which conditions only would the so ci ety visit York. These included the pay ment cif a sum of 1,0001. to the fonds of the Royal Agricul tural Society, which must be realised in the ensuing month of December, and towards which at present only 6501. had been subiscribed. There were also many other requirements which would have to be complied with, involving altogether a sum of probably not less than 1,5001. This was a large amount, but he felt that the advantage* to the city would be very great, and that all who felt an interest in its welfare ought to subwribe. A resolution was agreed to, and steps were taken for raising the requisite fund. Mr. Alder man Meek said he hoped that in this subecrip- Con they would also be supported by the landowners in the locality, some of which bad subscribed, and he trusted that others would follow their example. The advancement of agricultural science, and the stimulus given to agricul tural operations in every district where the society has held its meetings, had been apparent in an eminent degree ; and he conceived therefore that the landlords had a direct in terest in bringing the society's meetings as near to their tenantry as possible, that they might acquire information which would afford them the means of improving their sys tem of farming.—Aldermau Barber expressed his readiness to co-operate with the councillors of his ward, and observed that no unnecessary delay should occur. Expensive oper ations were being proceeded with, in the draining of land on Bootharn Stray for the exhibition. PROPOSED EXIGRATION.—The Bradford Observer says: "Our poor-law guardians at their meeting on Friday, discussed the question of tuning upon and relieving distress by means of emigration. A town's meeting is talked ef. By official returns it appears that there are at present, in the township of Bradford,4,o7B recipients of out-door relief. The weekly expense is 2151. Ils. 3d . The probability is, that the numbers will increase rather than diminish, for some time to come; and of course the expense will in crease also. This is far above the general average ; but it is rarely indeed that the relieving officers can skew clean lists; and ever and anon the numbers on their books swellup to something approaching to the present propor tions. This sufficiently indicates that there is something rotten in the state of Bradford, and self interest, as well u humanity, prudence as well as patziollem, suggests that cool, calm, and wisely-directed efforts should be made to discover I the radieal cure for this enormous social evil. A great 'ma jority of the out-door poor are woolcombers. When the worsted trade is in its best estate, this class of operatives is not fully employed, and as a matter of coarse the slightest depression in trade adds to the nntubers of the =ea , 'stored. Here, then, we find a chronic disease, always eating like a cancer at the vitals et the community; and, in times of crisis, like the present, it becomes an acute disease. There ie the fact, and we have not to search I far for the cause of it. It is written on the face of it—the class of woolcomben is too numerous. Up to this ' point all is clear enough ; sod it is also as clear, that if I we would deal effectually with the evil, the numbers of the wooloomben must be diminished. Emigration is the I natural and largest outlet for throe superfluous numbers. Here a di ffi culty presents itself at the threshold ; the wool - 1 ' comber', se a class, are not the fittest for encountering the rough hardships of the emigrant's life. This is admitted ; bat in this clan there are many pruned of the necessary energy, mental and physical, for making good settlers ; and we have no doubt that many unortgat them would brave all hardships and danger", and thankfully avail themselves of the asaiatanoe of the public and their more fortunate towns emu, in the endeavour to better their lot in some of the colonies. At home their fortune is desperate. They are environed by a hard necessity, which bars all hope. It is due to tuch men, who are thus circumstanced by no fault of their own, that they should have a choice of leaving their fatherland in search of a happier habitation.' THE RIVER Dine.—The engineer of the River Dan Company is advertising for contracts for the excavation of about three miles of a new channel for the River Dan from Doncaster to Sandell. The Doncaster Chronicle says — The company are about to carry out, et an expense of from 15,0001. to 20,0001., a new canal to commence f,om the present river a little below the gas works, passing on the Bentley side of the Mile Thorne Lock, ar d falli ing nto the river again on this side of Long Sandal!. Its also the in. ' Motion of the River Dun Company to make a flood channel from the Mill Dike, at Doncaster, to Sandell, by which a retain height of water will be secured in the new line of navigation, without being subject to tends. These works will necessarily empl iy a great number of hands, and will, no doubt, be another source of profit and emolument to the inhabitants of Doncaster. DURHAM. THE FORGERIES IN SUNDERLAND.—It will be la the nooLlection of many of our readers, that forgeries HIM prase belonging to Sunderland, to the amount of ' 10,11111111., Were reported to have been committed by Mr. Ramble, ship led share broker, who in consequence ab sconded, and has, so far as we k now, hitherto eluded de- I Section, although an officer of police has been in search it him for some weeks.

Fine IN THE NEW PUBLIC BUILDINGS, DAB LISOTON.—About four o'clock on Thursday morning the large public buildings recently erected in Darlington were discovered to be oo fire. An alarm was immediately given, and the fire-engines with a great number of the inhabitants were speedily upon the spot, and by their prompt exertions the conflagration, which at one time threatened serious con sequences, was subdued, without doing damage beyond per haps some few hundred pounds. A musical entertainment was given in the central bell on the evening previous, and the room adjoining the hall, in which the fire place was only temporarily erected, was used as • refreshment room : in this room the fire was first discovered, but in what way it was cared is mere matter of conjecture. Opinions have been expressed that it had been maliciously done; but without evidence in a matter of each importance, and in a case where we Parham Advertiser) could hardly leek a pretext ex isted far it, we should be unwilling to believe it other than accidental.

' After a good deal of desultory conversation the following resolution was agreed to That it is desirable for profitable grazing to begin with a good pasture, and to have the stock in good con dition and of good quality, so that they may be ready to take advantage of the best market ; and in reference to seed grazing, especially on black lands, it is desirable not to graze too close, but to have a fair bite, which will be best for the health and fatting of the sheep." LINCOLN CATHEDRAL.—" It seems utterly useless," remarks the Lincoln Mercury of Friday, "to hope that this noble building will be thrown open to the inspection of the public, as, very recently, a rem i-official document has been issued denying the power of the dean and chapter to allow it to be put to any other uses than those of religious worship. In the-face of the well-known fact that any one, or any number of persons, can visit any part of the edifice upon the payment of certain fees, this semi-offleial declaration wears very much the air of dissimulation. To open a build. ing dedicated to the services of I eligion to free inspection by the public is desecration; but to offer it for public inspection on the payment of fees is a matter sanctified by solemn silence, so if those who limit the power of the dean and chapter to bar a public demand, were innocently ig norant that the fee-taking system had existence. this is the very extreme of hypocrisy ; and *lose who exhibit to the public such a lamentable per version of intellect are no true friends to the interests of the church or religion. The day is gone by when the people will take gilded sin for true sanctity. The cathiclral was erected for the people, who have not only • right to the benefits of the religious services there conducted, but a property in the splendid monument of art which the illustrious and devoted of past ages bequeathed to posterity. l'Le dean and chapter are only trustees for the public: they have, therefore, no right to shut out the public from their own edifice, thus denying them the pleasure, the instruction, and the refinement of feeling and taste to be derived from an acquaintance will architectural beauty. To close the doors against properly-regulated inspection is an unwarrantable usurpation ; and to open them for money (professing at the same time they ought only to be opened for the purposes of religion) is realising to the letter the scriptural picture of the es to which the temple was SU converted."
