A — el'? farce entitled" The Goose with the Golden was produced last night with complete success. h St hicu e Plot i s St slightness itself, but the farce abounds wit st crous situations, heightened by a free use of pantomi micth(lllll. The fable of the piece turns upon the fact that 1. ,2ughter of a rather sharp, but very unscrupulous o ld St t a il " Yber receives a present of a goose from an old aunt, and tl:111:11„arrives , much to the disgust of the family, in any- Si . a state of freshness ; in fact, to get rid of it by to - a ,"t toeans than eating is a most desirable object at e e( ;.„ l4P . lis ii• In order to do this on advantageous terms, t, ) a L"liaB remembers that he has lost a bet of a goose s asti t t: . 7,7 lawyer equally as unscrupulous, but far more ;ver to throw Pro - t han himself, and accordingly hands it over to that n rthy of course repudiates the gift ; but determined a chance away he, in his turn, makes a present c' th t A l • l i e „, bir d to his friend's clerk, a a young man in love with to Whom the unsavoury goose was addressed. No sooner h, • the goose reached its last destinati on than a note is disco vered in the hamper saying that the bird w ill be f t °llll 4 to be well stuffed, as a pocket-book is placed inside conta ining a cheque for £5OO. As may be imagine d, this l iit ilt—„ L l,, gence excites the cupidity of the two lawyers to the v rQ°B t, and th e f un o f th e pi ec e lies in their frantic endea °llll to reg a i n possess i on o f the goose, in the pursuit of which they get bitten by dogs, tumble into dust carts, gilt, and caj o l e eve ry one, until they at last reg ain ly ' t bird, on l y to find that the cheque i s no t i ns id e it. The two fight ' 1" lawyers are most admirably sustained by Messrs J. a ° gets and J. Cl ar k e. The ot h er c h arac ters of the piece re u nimportant, but what little they had to do was done Well. The Marquis of Bristol will leave St. James's todaygnare, today for Ickworth Park, Suffolk. The Earl a e rtaYll is at his shooting quarters in Ross-shire.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--(THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY AT A LICENSED VICTUALLED ' S. — Benjamin Powell, 19, well known to the police, was charged before Mr. Bingham with stealing a keg of spruce from the bar of the Crown tavern, Cranbourne• street, the property of Mr. Thomas Jackson. George Grey, 52 F, said that about a quarter to twelve the previous night he saw the prisoner and two others, all of whom he knew as thieves, in Great St. Andrew-street. The prisoner having something under his arm done up in a pocket handkerchief, he asked him what he had got, when he replied that it was a cask of lemonade which he was selling. He (Grey) telling him he had "newly gone into business," then lifted up the covering and turned on the tap, when he found that instead of lemonade it was spruce ; and on further questioning him about it, he said he had bought it of a man for Gs. at the corner of St. Martin's-lane. He then took him into custody. Mr. Jackson said the keg belonged to him, and was safe in his bar about eleven o'clock, and contained about six quarts of spruce. The prisoner with two or three com panions had been in his house a short time prier to his missing the keg, and he had cautioned his wife not to serve them. ____. Grey said the prisoner had been convicted at Bow-street, and one of his companions had been convicted nineteen times. Mr. Jackson said he wished to state that he received great assistance from the police, and especially 52 F, who were fast breaking up a gang of notorious fellows in the neighbourhood. The prisoner, having pleaded guilty, was committed for trial, Mr. Bingham stating that, in all probability, the prosecutor would not have to complain of the prisoner for a long time to come. THAMES. TOBACCO SMUGGLING.—Joseph Langston, a stoker, who has been employed on board the Belgian ship Baron Osy, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with smuggling 81bs. of foreign manufactured tobacco. Mr. Thomas Smith, a tide surveyor of Customs, said he stopped the prisoner as he was leaving the Baron Osy, and asked him if he had anything about him ? He said no. He was not satisfied with his declaration, and detained the prisoner and searched him, and found upon his person Sibs. of compressed tobacco, and it was fastened round the pri soner's.body. The tobacco was liable to a duty of 3s. sd. per lb. The prisoner, in defence, said the officer did not take the tobacco from him. Mr. Yardley—What of that. You had it concealed on your person. The prisoner—And the officer did not rub me down. Mr. Yardley—The case is clearly made out. You are fined £lO, and in default one month's imprisonment. AN EXPENSIVE SMASH.—Cornelius Healy, an Irish labourer, was brought up before Mr. Yardley on a warrant, charged with assaulting Mr. George Homer, the landlord of the White Fox beer-house, in New Gravel-lane, Shad well, on the 28th of June last. It appeared that on the day named in the warrant the prisoner, who was intoxicated, entered the White Fox beer-shop and called for a penny worth of tobacco, for which he tendered in payment a good halfpenny and a bad one. Mr. Horner rejected the spurious coin and asked the prisoner to give him another. The pri soner refused to do so, although he had a handful of half pence, and Mr Horner refused to part with the tobacco. The prisoner then began swearing at and abusing Mr. Horner; and after making a great disturbance, he took up the bad halfpenny in dispute and hurled it at the complainant's head. The coin missed him, but struck a large pane of plate glass at the back of the beer-shop, and broke it into a great many pieces. The cost of the glass was £lO, but Mr. Homer said he would be satisfied with the payment of £5 when the prisoner was brought before Mr. Yardley, on the 29th of June, and he promised to pay that amount by instalments, and was liberated on his own recognisances to appear a month afterwards. The prisoner did not pay a farthing, and was brought before Mr. Selfe on the 29th of July, and again liberated on his own recog nisance on a promise to pay for the plate glass he had broken. All he had paid was ls., and he was now brought up on an assault warrant. The facts, as above stated, were clearly made out, and Mr. Yardley said he could not fine the prisoner for breaking the glass, because it did not appear to be wilfully done ; but he fined him £5 for the assault on Mr. Horner, and in default of payment one month's imprisonment. AFFAIRS OF BRITISH COLUMBIA. —Papers rela tive to the affairs of British Columbia (part 2), being copies of despatches from the Governor of British Columbia to the Secretary of State for the Colonies, and from the Secretary of State to the Governor, relative to the government of the colony, were presented to Parliament on the 12th ult., and yesterday appeared in print. Her Majesty has decided that the capital of British Columbia shall be called " New West minster." The policy to be observed towards the Indian native tribes will be a fostering and protective one, care being taken in laying out and defining the several reserves so as to avoid checking, at a future day, the progress of the white colonists. Governor Douglas a ppears to have com plained to the Colonial-office of the inadequacy of his offi cial salary. The Earl of Carnarvon, in the absence of the Secretary of State, wrote on the 23d of May last to the Governor, admitting that his,emoluments had been fixed at too low a rate, and announcing his readiness to sanction an addition to his salary of £1,200 out of the local receipts of the current year, provided that the revenue of British Co lumbia amounted in the aggregate to not less than £50,000. This addition can on no account be made otherwise than from colonial resources. MiNns.—The mining market has continued to occupy a good position, for although the activity has been less ap parent, a fair amount of business has been .done, and the number of distinct minas the shares in which have changed hands has been considerably larger than usual—a satisfac e - tory proof that the apprec iation of mining property by th general public is extending. The dividend mines which have been most in request are Wheal Clifford, West Caradon, Great South Tolgus, West Seton, East Basset, Herodsfoot, Providence, Margaret , Tinc roft, a nd Mary Ann; and the pro gres sive mines Wheal Unity , East Grenville, North Downs, East Carn Brea, Cook's Kitchen, East Russell, Stray Park, Ludcott, and Pendeen. Wheal Unity shares have been largely dealt in, and leave off at 19s 6d to 20s 6d; one of the points to which we have alluded —cutting the lode in the 30 cross-cut from engine-shaft—has been accomplished, improving. Wheal lode met with being worth £6 p er fm., and Wheal Kitty (St. Agnes) , 3 to 31; in our last a clerical error occurred in the quotation of these shapes. Wheal Margaret were flat, at 471 to 50, sellers, up to Thursday, morning, but rose soon after to 56, buyers, in consequence of telegrams being sent up that the dispute with Wheal Mary was settled in favour of Margaret. Providence rose to 45, ex div., but dropped to 421, sellers, and left off at 42 to 44. Herodsfoot h ave been dealt in at prices varying from 14 to Hi, and left off at 14 to 141 ; the next sampling will be 75 tons, of as good quality ore as the last. Tolcarne shares have advanced to 1 lt, in consequence of an improvement. —.Mining Journal of this day, STATE OF TRADE.—MANCIIESTER, Sept 2.—The market retains the firmness reported at the commencement of the week, and the lighter T cloths for Bombay and print ing cloths are a shade dearer. The better qualities of T cloths also are in more demand, and the better long cloths have improved. India 40-inch shirtings of most qualities and 36. inch are low in stock, with good contracts, and prices are consequently well supported. A moderately ac tive business is also doing in yarns, both for export and home consumption, and 28's and 32's water twist in the bundle maintain the advance of about id. per lb. obtained on Tuesday. " The improved demand," says Messrs. G. Fraser, Son, and Co., in their monthly circular of yester day, " from Bom ba y , to g ether with the considerable busi ness doing for China, Germany, and the Mediterranean, has, together with a large business done for the home trade, grea tly sustained this market, and at the present m o ment nearly all spinners and manufacturers are well employed with orders for future delivery." TOAD VERSUS SNARE.—On the gardener o f a gentleman living at Runcton going to work a few morn ings ago he was surprised to find a snak e lying in one of the paths, wriggling about in a very unea s y manner, .and evi dently, to use a familiar phrase, 's in a fix." H e q uickly got an implement, and without difficulty despatched the intru.• der, which was above three feet in length. But the sin gular part of the affair is to come. O n examining the dTtd snake, his jaws and the parts which "there adjacent lie" were found to be enormously distended, and the cabs° of this was soon ascertained to be a large toad—still alive — which, in order to prevent the unpleasant operation (to it) of being swallowed by the snake, had evidently resorted to its well known power of blowing itself out, and and thus al the time the gardener came upon the scene there was a deadly conflict going on between snake and toad, tethe former exerting its facu lt y of almost unlimited disn sion of the jaw, the latte r its almost unlimited power of bodily expansion. The snake, at the moment of th e gar dener's interference, was clearly in a very uncomfortable position ; it had got more than it could eat. The toad, too, could not have been easy in its feelings, finding itself gradu ally going down, down. However, it survived the contest, and was extricated and set at liberty by its goo d friend the gardener.—Brighton REVOLTING CHILD MURDER. — Yesterd a y after noon, Mr. Wakley held an inquest in the board-room of Marylebone Workhouse, on the body of a newly-born male child found murdered on the morning of Wednes day last, under the truly revolting circumstances sub joined :—James Plattenden said he lodged with his wife at 3, Upper Boston-street, Dorset-square, which was also in habited by several other people. During the last fortnight the water had tasted and smelt so bad that every one vim complaining of being ill. On Wednesday morning wit ness's wife, who had just come home from the country, said the tea made her sick, and she was sure there must be something improper in the waterbutt. Witness said he would go and see, and lighted a candle, as the waterbutt was in a dark corner of the wash-house. On taking off the lid he saw a brown paper parcel floating on the water. On taking it out the stench was intolerable, and on bein opened the body of the deceased child, with its legs double up and tied with a cord, was found wrapped in calico. Ins formation was given to the police, and the body was brought to that workhouse. He had no suspicion of any' woman in the house having given birth to a child. Some one from the street might have put the body in the water. butt, as during the late hot weather the steeet-door was constantly left open. Mr. Smith, resident surgeon to St. Marylebone Workhouse, said he had made a post korten: examination, and had not the slightest doubt the child was born alive, and had been murdered. The right parietal bone of the skull was fractured completely across, and that had no doubt caused death. The coroner remarked that these cases were multiplying so fast that they presented a sad aspect of the state of society. Such a fracture of the skull would produce death, and must have been the result of a blow or blows. The jury returned a verdict of "Wilful Murder" against some person or persons unlazowtt. +w,,.-~.~,. ~ .:...--~ ..:.-:. ~.. MEETING OF BUILDERS' FOREMEN. (THIS DAY.) A meeting of the foremen of the master builders, whose establishments aro now 'closed, took place this day at the Adelaide Rooms, Strand. Mr. WILLOUGHBY, foreman of plasterers at Messrs. Cubitts', occupied the chair. He said the present meeting was called, in accordance with a resolution passed last evening that a meeting of the foremen of the lock-out firms should be held, in order that some steps might be taken to bring about a settlement of the unhappy differences that at present existed between the employer and the em ployed. He urged upon all present the necessity of main taining order in their discussions, in order that a proper degree of weight might attach to their proceedings. Mr. Dabbs had proposed a resolution to the committee, but it was thought the best step to adopt was to summon a gene ral meeting of the foremen before anything was finally decided upon. A discussion then arose as to the persons composing the preliminary meeting, at the termination of which Mr. METCALFE said their business, after all, was to see what could be done towards terminating the pre sent state of things. Whatever was done it would be thought by the men that they (the foremen) had been sent to that meeting by their masters, but such was not the case. The meeting was a perfectly spontaneous act on their part, and whatever was done, on them (the foremen) rested the whole responsibility. The foremen had come forward to act as mediators, and they had done so solely for the interest of both parties, and ,in the hope that they might be successful in stopping the wide-spreading ruin to thousands. (Hear.) Mr. WESTON, of the firm of Evans Brothers, said he should like to know whether it was intended to ground their proceedings on the adoption of the " document " or not. (Hear.) If so, he felt confident all negotiation would fail, because the men believed the " document" to be de testable. (Cheers.) There might be some hope if such was not the case, but none if they adopted it as their basis. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN said he thought he had better call upon Mr. Dabbs to read his resolution. Mr. DABBS, foreman of founders at Messrs. Cubitts, said when he attended the preliminary meeting last night he found the proceelings of a very vague character, and it was then he saw the necessity of proposing something of a tangible nature, and he then drew up his resolution in order that, in the event of their agreeing to take any steps in the matter, they might have something definite to offer to the masters for consideration at their meeting next Tues day. His resolution was as follows : " That this meeting of builders' foremen, connected with the London establishments now closed, form a committee (with power to add to their number), to act independently between master and man, and to adopt measures containing some tangible terms by which we may recommend the masters to resume business ; and we, their managers, pledge ourselves to use our best endeavours to secure a sufficient body of workmen to carry on the various departments over which we have the control." (Cheers.) Mr. ALLEN seconded the resolution. A somewhat irregular discussion ensued, which was brought to a conclusion by The CHAIRMAN, who said the meeting before they pro ceeded with anything else must dispose of the resolution, as it had been moved and seconded. Mr. DABBS said the resolution did not confer any power. The committee, after it had been appointed, would receive its instructions from the body of the meeting. (Cheers.) The resolution was put from the chair, and carried una nimously. Mr. PARKER moved a resolution that the committee consist of seven foremen and seven non-society men. Mr. DAnns said if such a suggestion were agreed to it would upset the former resolution, because by that the meeting states that it is acting entirely independent of any body or any society. (Hear, hear.) The next business . of the meeting, after having passed a resolution similar to the one they had already agreed to, was to give the persons constituting the committee that was to wait upon the mas ters their instructions, and with that view he moved the following resolution : "That this meeting agree to recommend to the masters so to modify the present declaration as to dispense with the book and so-called counterfoil altogether, and make it a shop rule only. That in the engagements between foreman and workmen it be clearly understood that they are not society men." After a short discussion the proposition of Mr. Dabbs was agreed to, with but five dissentients. Mr. METCALFE thought in order to strengthen the hands of the committee the names of all the foremen present should be taken down and submitted to the masters, to show the persons from whom the proposition emanated. He was so impressed that this would be a wise course to pursue that he should move a resolution to that effect. The resolution was seconded by Mr. CLARISS, and car ried. A person present wished to know whether the Builders Foremen's Institution had been communicated with, as he was anxious that the present should not be looked upon as a hole-and-corner meeting. The CHAIRMAN said there need be no apprehension on that point. The reason that the Foremen's Institution was not connected with was, because it was thought as the building trade was only concerned, there was no occa sion for others to become involved. Mr. HARDING, of Messrs. Jays, complained that the present meeting did not fully represent the feeling of the foremen of the building trades. Another person present suggested the propriety of adjourning for a few days. Then instead of the 250 or 300 persons present they would have a larger attendance. The CHAIRMAN said he did not think any good would be derived from an adjournment. The secretary had sent out 1,500 notices of meeting, and if persons did not choose to at tend they could not compel them to do so. The only busi ness that remained for the meeting was the nomination of the foremen who were to compose the committee to wait on the masters next Tuesday ; and he called upon those pre sent to bring the proceedings to a close in a business-like manner. (Cheers.) . The committee was then nominated as follow :—Mr. Bray, of Messrs. Piper and Son ; Mr. Willoughy, of Messrs. Cubitt ; Mr. Allen, of Messrs. Rigby; Mr. Webster, of Messrs. Lawrence ; Mr. Brisley, of Messrs. Mansfield ; Mr. Gill, of Messrs. Waller; Mr. Clements, of Messrs. Lucas ; Mr. Lovejoy, of Messrs. Wilson; Mr. Lucas, o 1 Messrs. Axfords; Mr. Brooken, of Messrs. Hollands ; Mr Hearne, of Messrs. Kelk ; Mr. Smith, of Messrs. Myers ; Mr. Newell, of Messrs. T. Cubitt ; Mr. Elliott, of Messrs. Brown and Robinson ; Mr. Evans, of Messrs. Wslchman and Gale's ; and Mr. Harding, of Messrs. Jay's. A vote of thanks having been awarded to the chairman, he Proceedings terminated. THE EX-KING OF OUDE'S PRISON LIFE. The Overland Phoenix gives the following parti culars respecting the ex-King of Oude and some of his companions during the imprisonment; their release was noticed in the last Indian Mail. " The ex-King, up to the moment of his release, was unaware that his imprisonment was so soon to end. His liberation was announced to him by Colonel Cavenagh and Major Herbert, and he re ceived the announcement testifying great but dig nified satisfaction. He had invariably been treated by these officers with the courtesy and considera tion, and was always willing to communicate freely with them, and often sought their advice, which, as freely rendered, has more than once baffled attempts made on his purse. The ex-King's meals were always brought to him from Garden Reach, and his dinner had reached on Saturday evening at the time it was intimated to him that his imprisonment had terminated. His ex- Majesty ordered the viands to be taken back to Garden Reach, whither he intended immediately proceeding—but, before he got into the carriage, prayer time had come round, and he would not leave until he had gone through his rather lengthy devotions. These finished, he drove off in an open carriage, accompanied by Major Herbert. "The ex-King's life during his two years' impri sonment, has been such as to induce the belief that if left to himself he would for an Asiatic prince be of very irreproachable character. He has been ab stemious in the extreme, and has denied himself many pleasures which even the rules which regu lated his imprisonmentwould have permitted. His time was mostly spent in the composition of verses, in portrait painting, and in writing letters to his numerous begums, both in Oude and at Garden Reach, to whom he generally sent presents of jewellery and of money. His attitude or pose during verse-writing hours was a curious one, his ex-Majesty on such occasions being stretched out like a large turtle taking a swim on the top of a bed piled with cushions, at one end of which was a writing desk ! Like other great men, he was fond of toys; and spent much money on them, nothing apparently giving him more pleasure than to sit and watch the circular movements of automatic toys set in motion by himself. He was particularly jealous of being intruded on, and comported him self like a king in that respect. The orders of Col. Cavenagh were, however, very rigid on this par ticular point, and none, no matter what their rank, were allowed to enter the ex-King's chambers, or in any other way to incommode him. He will have to confess that if the English did imprison him, that during his imprisonment he was treated in every respect as became his rank. " Ally Nucky Khan was less comfortably situated. He was liable to be visited by the officers on duty and by others ; but of the presence of any the ex vizier took little notice. He was always reserved, if not silent, and apparently cast down in spirit, his whole time being devoted to reading the Koran. " All the prisoners left for Garden Reach about half-past five o'clock, and might at that hour have been proceeding thither in an open barouche and five or six hired garis.

THE HIGHLAND COACHMAN. —john has a pre sentable person, a sagacious countenance, and, when seated on the box, he flips his steeds and manages the ribbons to admiration. ' Ho has not started a hundred yards when he finds occasion for a story, which is sure to be greeted with a roar of laughter from those alongside of and behind him. Encouraged by success, John absolutely coruscates, anec dote follow anecdote like the flashes of sheet-lightning on a summer night, and long before he has come to his journey's end he is implored to desist, the convulsed midriffs of his auditors crying out, " Hold, enough 1" His story of the " Paisley Bodies" is inimitable. Two of these, with their spouses, had been picked up by the Inverary steamer, at the " Water Net." The knights of the loom and shuttle, although desirous of enjoyment, naturally gravitated towards the steward's room. One called out to the other, "Come down closer to the steerage, Jeames, and hae a dram, and you, Magge, staun where ye are, and caa us up when the scenery begins." The power of gallantry could no further go. Another re lative to the grief of a Highland farmer, who had recently lost his wife, is still better. A friend called upon the be reeved man to condole with him. "It must have been a great loss, Duncan, to you, for she was a goot woman." "'Deed it was, a fery great loss, indeed, returned Duncan) wiping a tear from his eye; and then adding, in a tone laden with emotion, " A n ', l e t me tell you, Donald, accom panied, too, with a f er y cons id era bl e deal of expense.

Arrangements are now being - made for the east. blishment of a college of mining, engineering, and manufacturing science, in connexion with the Uni versity of Durham, and with preparatory scho ols to be set on foot in the different colliery dist ricts of the kingdom, at which instruction will be given. adapted to the training of boys intended as mana gers of mines or for engineering or manufacturing pursuits. The institution• though proposed to be locally situated within that University, is to be cox ducted upon independent principles and managed by a governing body of its own. There are to be five professors —one of mathematics, one of natural philosophy and applied mechanics, one of mineralogy geology and working mines, one of chymistry, and a fifth of plan drawing, levelling, surveying, and practical engineering. The two first professors will be provided by the University, and the three last by the proposed college. The general object sought to be attained is the education, at the cheapest rate, of all classes of mining and engi neering students, to result eventually, it is .to be hoped, in practical and economical improvements in mining operations from time to time, and in. lessening the enormous waste of human life incident to that department of industry. The students are to be of two classes—matriculated and non-matricu lated, the former to reside in some college, hall, or house licensed for that purpose by the University, and to be subject to its discipline; the latter, if not resident with their parents, to live in lodging houses licensed by the principal of the proposed. college, and, in special cases, in other houses not so licensed. The matriculated students are to be ad missible to the academical rank of mining engineer and civil engineer, according to certain regulations passed in January, 1855 ; and non-matriculated students are to be admissible to a title of distinction. to be hereafter agreed upon. One especial object in view is to increase the usefulness, by means of suitable instruction, of schoolmasters in the colliery districts ; and arrangements are in contemplation for enabling the students to inspect collieries from time to time and to acquire a knowledge of their practical working. A committee was recently appointed, consisting of Mr. Nicholas Wood, the eminent colliery viewer, whose whole life has been identified with the practical management and super vision of coal mines in Northumberland and Dur ham ; Mr. T. J. Taylor, and Mr. J. L. Bell, to con fer with the authorities of the University at Dur ham, to bring the project under the notice of the Government, and to take other preliminary steps for the successful establishment of the proposed col lege. Mr. Tremenheere, the commissioner for in quiring into the state of the mining population, in his report to the Home Secretary, just published, refers to the advantages resulting from the engraft ing of a mining department on this Bristol Dioce san School : and also states that a very promising commencement has been made in the establishment of a similar school at Wigan, in connexion with the mechanics' institution there. It commenced in March last, and there has been an average atten dance of about 30 students, two-thirds of whom are overmen and working colliers. The students are mostly adults, or young men between 17 and 19, many of them working in the pits during the day. An endeavour has also recently been made, on the part of many of the l ea di ng em pl o y e rs of mining labour in Lanarkshire and Ayrshire, and other gen tlemen,to set on foot a mini ng sc h oo l. T owar d s that object a subscription of £4OO for three years has been guaranteed, and the managing committee offer a salary of £250 per annum for a competent master. THE GOSPEL AMONG THE KARENS. The religion of the Karens forms one of the most singular features of their character and history. While civilisations have fallen into all forms of gross idolatry ; while philo:ophers falsely so called, have invented and discovered all sorts of anti- Christian systems, these simple tribes have pre served among themselves, for hundreds of years, the knowledge of one God, and have honoured Him above all, without images, as their Ono Supreme Lord. They have handed down from generation to generation, the most singular traditions concerning the creation, the fall of the first human pair, the deluge, and the dispersion of the human race. They have described to their children how, for the sins of their fathers, God took away His sacred book from . among them, and left theni to fall into ignorance and suffering ; and how in His good time, He would bring among them white teachers from the West, who should restore the book again. Whence these singular traditions came, none have been able to discover ; but that they existed, that they prepared the minds of the people in the most wonderful man ner to receive the Gospel, and that the Gospel has been accepted with avidity, are facts which lie be yond dispute. Before the emancipation of Pegu, the Karen mission had become a marked success. In all the settlements, too, great improvement was made in the habits of the people. Their villages were built in order and with care ; and the straight streets, the pretty gardens, the plots of vegetables, the orchards and nurseries, and the well-tilled rice fields, bore testimony to a settled life and patient industry on the part of a people who had hereto fore been most rude and wild. Large tracts of country were reclaimed from the jungles, in which roamed wild elephants and beasts of prey. The de cent worship, the neat dress of the congregations, the union prevalent. in the " associatee churches, and the orderly rule maintained in a church govern ment which fell so largely on the people themselves, proved that these signs of peace and prosperity were not merely the result of outward influence, but sprang from powerful inward principle. The fol lowing admirable rules, adopted for their mutual guidance by the Tavoy churches, furnish a singular il'ustration of the completeness with which they sought to Christianise all the principles both of their outer and their inner life, and to remove from their midst the elements of heathenism which had oppressed them for so many generations. Numer ous Christians in this country have not learned to act upon them yet. 'Rules for the TavoyiChurehes —" 1. We will avoid that superstitious forsaking of property [such as quitting a house because a per son has died in it, and a thousand things of that kind,] which was practised by our ancestors, but is contrary to the Scriptures. 2. We will avoid all vain oaths, particularly such as refer to the name of God. 3. We will avoid all attempts to frighten our children into obedience, by telling them what is not true, (as that some fearful thing will happen to them, a tiger will bite them, and the like) ; also, we will endeavour to avoid all kinds of deception, and lying words. 4. We will avoid all , kinds of vain and foolish songsAsuch as the heathen used to excite their passions. 5. We will avoid all kinds of personal contests, as wrestling, betting, and the like. 6. We will avoid all charms and amulets, and all those supposed medicines which the heathens regard as securities against superstitious ills ; tat tooing, and so on." The impe rfect enumerations yet made of the successes of this wonderful Karen mission, reckon Ihe number of church members at the present time at fifteen or sixteen thousand; and the native Christians of all ages, brought under regular instruction are more than one hundred thousand. When we remember that the first con vert was baptized only thirty years ago: that seven years ago there was not a single Christian at Toun goo, now so full of converts, we stand amazed at the marvellous progress of this • valuable mission. and exclaim with joy, "What bath God wrought r -" Eclectic" for September. RAISING THE SCHOONER DON.—This clipper ves sel, belonging to the Aberdeen line company, while being towed through Halfway-reach, on Tuesday afternoon, in. order to take in her ballast at Erith, was sunk on the north shore, immediately opposite the Halfway-house, owing to a sudden squall catching her quarter and capsizing her. The c ew were rescued by the tug, and the captain having applied ineffectually at Woolwich Dockyard for assistance to raise the vessel, the services of the small derrick were procured. The necessary chains for hoisting the schooner were bent on to her during Thursday night, and yesterday the derrick brought the vessel up to the London Docks ' moorings, suspended in the chains to the boom of the machine. EXTRAORDINARY DISASTER ON THE BIRMING HAM CANAL—On Tuesday evening an alarming accident occurred on the Birmingham Canal at Dudley Port. The canal at Dudley Port runs over in its course a limestone mine belonging to Messrs. Giles, and the amount of stone worked from under the surface has gradually weakened the earth until it has been unable to withstand the pressure from above. On Tuesday evening a watchman in the em ploy of the Canal Company noticed the canal banks gra dually sinking, but before he could well summon assistance the banks sank eight or nine feet with a fearful crash. On the spot where the earth sank the two bodies of water from each side met with a report like thunder, and carried the bank, together with some hundred tons of rubbish, t an adjoining hollow, which, with all the lower gro und neighbourhood, was completely flooded.
