The anxiously expected decision of this famous controversy was delivered by the Lord Bishop of Carlisle—in his capacity of Cathedral Visitor— yesterday morning. The Bishop havin g taken hi s sea t , procee d e d to read a very long judgment, which concluded as follows :—" I feel called upon to exercise the power, which the Visitor by law pos sesses, to restore Mr. Livingston to the office the of Precentor: and Minor Canon, w Cathedral Church of Carlisle, from which he has been in my opinion without just cause removed. In so deciding, it is satisfactory to me to know that if I have erroneously taken on myself jurisdiction in this matter, the Courts of Common Law are able to stay the effect of my decision. But I trust, that the conclusion at which I have arrived will tend to restore peace and harmony within the Cathedral Church of Carlisle. There have been errors committed on both sides, and on both sides there is something to forgive and to forget. Let it be the common object of us all to promote a good and Christian feeling within the church, for bearing one another in love, and endeavouring to keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace and in righteousness of life, as becometh brethren in the Lord.

The complainant, a poor but decently-attired woman, said the prisoner was her son. Yesterday she left her home, 1, Lincoln-court, for the purpose of earning a little money by shelling walnuts in Covent-garden Market, and on her return she found the room door had been broken open, and a tippet, a shawl, and other things had been stolen. She immediately • suspected that her son was the thief, and accordingly she informed the constable of her suspicions, telling him, at the same time, where he.would most likely find the boy. Until he was taken into custody this morning she had not seen him since yes terday ; but that was not an unusual occurrence, as of late he had frequently absented himself from home, and she had discovered he was in the habit of passing the night in the dark arches of the Adelphi in company with a number of other boys as bad as himself. She had tried all the means in her power to induce him to alter his bad behaviour ; but her efforts had been of no avail, and she confessed he was " her masterpiece." So bad had he become that it was impossible to keep a thing at home worth a penny. his sister came home from her situation a few days ago, and during the short time she was there he stole several articles of wearing apparel belonging to her, and sold them. Mr. Burnaby, the chief clerk, observing that the boy's hair had been very closely cut off, asked who cut it ? The complainant replied that she did it in consequence of his returning home one day swarming with vermin. Mr. Jardine—ls the boy a Catholic ? Mother—No, your worship. liah.&S.Fran.,Lim.7p.c.

The police-constable who took the boy into custody said he told him that he had spent the money, for which he had sold his mother's clothes, in bread, apples, and other things. Another constable also said he knew the boy to be one of the most troublesome of the` numerous yoimg thieves that infested Covent-garden Market. When he was ordered off by any of the officers, he instantly turned round, and after using the most filthy and disgusting language, run away, but only to" another part of the market, where he would hang about until he could pick something up with which he would make off for the day. Mr. Jardine.—lt is a shocking thing that one so young should have become so thoroughly depraved. All I can do at present is to remand him for a week, in order to ascer tain whether anything can be done towards getting him into some school or reformatory. The mother, after thanking the magistrate, left the court crying. ruE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 2,, 1858. BOILER EXPLOSION AT MAN- A terrific boiler explosion occurred yesterday morning at the West Gorton cotton-mill, 'Manches ter, by which two men were killed. It was a small mill, containing 50 weaving looms, for the manu facture of domestics and regattas. It had been built about two years, but the present owner, John Robinson, a working man, had only been in possession a few weeks. The engine was of six horse-power, and was driven by an eight-horse boiler. The engine was inside the shed and the boiler outside. The engine -driver, W. Cannon, had got up steam at about minilles before 6in the morning, and the workpeople,nen and girls, were mostly at their looms, when the boiler burst with a terrific report, destroying the engine, weaving -shed, and a chimney 45 feet high. Cannon and a me chanic named James Redmond were buried in the ruins of the engine -house, and were dreadfully bruised and crushed, the former being dead when taken out shortly afterwards, and Redmond only surviving the accident a few hours. One of the girls sustained a slight blow on one cheek, but the others escaped unhurt. The boiler was torn into fragments, and some portions of it were projected to a distance of 100 to 200 yards in various direc tions. One heavy fragment fell upon the roof of a new wing of the City Gaol (the nearest building), about 200 yards distant, destroying a large portion of it ; and a stone flag on the seating of the boiler, nearly 1 cwt., was projected to a distance of 120 yards. The damage done will be about £2OO to £250, and will probably be the ruin of the owner of the factory. The boiler plates were a quarter of an inch thick, and evidently of very inferior metal. The working pressure was usually from 151 b. to 201 b., and the boiler ought to have stood a much greater strain. It is supposed that the driver had got up steam with insufficient water, and had after wards admitted cold water upon the heated plates. 25 26 9 211 211 39 39. - -p 9 10 3 1 :74 :g1 P 8 81 9x 91 231 24 9 91 25 26 Share) BRITISH MINES.

A WIFE'S WnoNos.—Robert Palmer, of It, Castle street, Leicester-square, an undertaker's assistant, was charged before Mr. Bingham with assaulting his wife, Aim Palmer. The wife, a respectable-looking female, said she had been married to the prisoner sight years, having six children. About one this morning her husband came home, having been drinking, and desired her, to get up, she being in bed at the time. He then said she should not sleep in the same_ bed again with him, and something further which she did not understand. She made him no answer, never doing so when he was in liquor. He then commenced striking _her —the blows being chiefly about the eyes, and the wound on her temple being caused by one of them. He then got into bed, and asked her why she went to see a friend on the Tuesday, to which she replied that she did not see any harm in so doing, upon which he jumped out of bed and againrenewed his brutality towards her, knocking her down and causing her to fall on a bedstead on which were lying some of her children, and while in that position kicked her on the back. About a fortnight previous he had struck her violently with a stick, causing a long black bruise. He had frequently assaulted her, but she had not complained before a magistrate. In defence, the prisoner said he had lived a very unhappy life ever since he had been married to her; she Nras a liar, went to a place where he did not wish her to go, and she had also robbed him. , The wife denied this. She had certainly taken a few things from the place for her use after he struck her with the stick as he had done. Mr. Bingham said he could not understand why a man who lived, as he stated, so unhappily with his wife, did not take the obvious course of effecting an amicable separation. The only way to bring such a brutal fellow as he seemed to reason would be by giving him a good sound thrashing, and it was a pity there was not some strong amazon who would do such a thing. Because he considered his wifo had robbed him, which she had satisfactorily explained, he had no right to try to dcztroy the life of one who was con fided to his care. The best punishment he could give such a monstrous brutal fellow vas it commit him for 4 months with hard labour. THAMES• A PRECOCIOUS Day..—IMPRISONMENT AND REFORMA TORY.—AIfred Foster, a determined looking boy, aged 13 years, the son of a solicitor, deceased, who for many years practised in this court, was brought up on remand before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing a silver watch from the person of Edward Hancock, shopraan to a tradesman in Richard-street, Limehouse. It appeared that the prose cutor was in Stpeney Fair, held span a piece of ground lately cleared of cottages and tenements, near the court, and he was followed from booth to booth by the prisoner and other young thieves, and finally they hustled him in front of a show, and severed his watch from the chain to which it was attached. llancock saw the watch in the t of the K prisoner's hand, and observed him give it to another lad. An alarm was raised, and the prisoner was secured. He told Mills, a detectiveo e ni ffice g r h , No. 306 that he gave the watch to a boy named Shiney, who, on the break up of the fair, on th rob bery, absconded to Enfield, and is probably now at Croydon fair. It was stated that the prisoner, since the death of his father, " had the run of the streets," that he had been three times convicted of petty offences, and at last sent to a Re formatory School, from which he escaped; began pilfering again, and joined a lot of young thieves who travelled from fair to fair, and frequented race courses for the purposes of plunder. Mr. Yardley said he should consider the propriety of sending the prisoner to a reformatory school again. The prisoner, in an impudent tone, said he would not stop in a reformatory school. He had been in one and did not have half grub enough. Ho was nearly starved. Mr. Yardley—l don't believe you, sir, I shall send you to prison for a long time, and then order you to be detained in a reformatory The prisoner—l won't stop there. I'll run away again. Mr. Yardley—l will see abont that, sir. You are re manded. Let his mother attend the next examination. Mrs. Ann Forter, a care-worn looking woman, who was greatly affected, now attended, and said her husband, a solicitor, had been dead five years, and that she had seen much trouble since that time. She obtained her living by making up slop-work. She had two other children, a boy of 16, and a girl aged six. Her earnings were precarious, never exceeding Bs. per week. Her son, the prisoner, was weakly and consumptive. Mr. Yardley—From the bearing of the prisoner the other day,. I am afraid he is going headlong to destruction, Mrs. Foster, I believe he will corrupt all the other boys if not well looked after. The magistrate then sentenced the pri soner to two months imprisonment and hard labour, and after that to be detained in a Reformatory School for five years. If the boy's talents were applied to a good end he would become a bright man and a useful member of society, but if he continued his bad tourses he would become a curse to his poor mother and the public at large. THE NEW CITY OF LONDON THEATRE.- This establishment has POW been rendered second,to none in this metropolis; from the floor to the ceiling it has been completely renovated; a new centre chandelier has been added, constricted by Mr. J. Johnson.

MlNES.—During the, past week South Caradons have had an advance to 410 ex div. ; at the meeting a divi dend sf £3 per share (£2,048) was declared, and the report of the mine very favourable ; the previous dividend, how ever, was £lO with the bonus. Mary Ann shares have been in good demand at 43/ to 441, and seem to have an upward tendency. Trelawny, 24 to 25 ; Rosewarne, early in the week were flat at 25, but left off firmer, .and . with a demand, at 274. to 321. East Basset also bettor, at. 90 to 95 ; at the meeting the accounts showed a profit of £lB7 Is. 5d., with all costs charged up to the end of August, including £4OO in extra cost and mer chants' bills, attendant on the erection of the new engine ; the report issued to the shareholders is very satisfactory, and promising for early dividends. In the wine, east of the 60 cross-cut, the lode is worth £2O per fathom, looking well for cutting the lode in the 80. The stopes in bottom of the 70, 28 fathoms east of the 60 cross-cut, are worth £7oPer o £1 Os fm.S l out . per share °lgus, 72} to 75 ; at the meeti n g a dividend was declared, and the next is exp . fcted to be £2 per share.--Mixing Journal of this day.

THE MEETING AT WARSAW.--A Warsaw letter says:—" When the Prince of Prussia arrived here the Emperor was at the theatre, but the moment his Majesty heard of the arrival of H.R.H. he went to the railway station to receive him. The Emperor and the Prince went in a carriage to the Palace of the Belvedere, where a guard of honour of the regi mentidearing the name of H.R.H. was on duty. The next day the Emperor, accompanied by the Prince, went to the. camp of Powonski, and the troops, consisting of 43' batta lions and 28 squadrons, in all 30 000 men, with 64 guns were passed in review. The troops twice filed off before his Majesty, and as they did so the Prince of Prussia placed him.eelf at the head of Ina own regiment." THIS DAY'S MARKETS'. COVENT GARDEN.

To tie, able reports ofDr:Greenhow and Mr. Simon we have already frc qucntly referred, as containing valunNe information on the great sanitary question which interests, or (night to interest, every mem her of the community. The preventibility of mast of our so-called " mortal" diseases has been satis factorily established by Mr. Simon and his colleague. The following facts, relating to the causes of death in 1856, arc derived from an appendix to the Registrar-General's Return for that year from the pen of Dr. William Farr, F.R.S., one of the most learned and eminent statisticians and medic 11 philosophers of the age. The year 1856 was re markable for its low rate of mortality, differing from 1854 in the diminished number of deaths by cholera and other zymotic diseases, and from 1855 in the reduced number of deaths by catarrh, in fluenza, and pneumonia. The people were not de stroyed by the severities of the winter, nor by the pestilences of the summer. The air moved taster at Greenwich in the year than in the three preced• ing Tears, and this rapidity of motion is very use ful in carrying off the organic particles that float over human habitations. The rainfall of 1856 was 21.9 inches, slightly below the average of eight years ; in the year 1852 it was 34 - 4. The winter of 1856 was very mild, and the temperature of the spring quarter was above the average; 78,047 per sons, or 20 . 0 per cent., died' of zymotic diseases ; the :decrease, as before hinted, is striking (from 6.180 to 4.567 an d 4.148 i n 1,000 o f th e population), and is mainly due to the comparative cessation of cholera and - its attendant diarrhoea. Croup and rheumatic fever were unusually fatal, as also metrir, or puerperal fever; 82,856 died of constitutional (cachectic) diseases, (21.0 per cent). The mortality by consumption was at the rate of 2.6 in 1,000 of the population ; 12.7 per cent. of the deaths were caused by that insidious disease against 11.9 in 1854. The deaths by consumption to 1,000 living were in an inverse ratio, br 2 . 601 in 1856 to 2 . 791 in 1864. This is in accordance with the principle that when the deaths by consumption include a large proportion of the total deaths, the mortality from all causes, and often from consumption itself, is low—and conversely. Through ignorance of this principle -it has been erroneously and illogically assumed that phthisis is more fatal in England than in the other coun tries of Europe. Constitutional diseases are very constant and regular in their influ ence on the mortality. 149,911 persons died of local or " monorganie" diseases, including 50 ; 535 of diseases of the brain and nervous system, 3,414 from cephalitis, 8,278 from apoplexy,B,497 from paresis, 2,096 from epilepsy, and. 23,946 from convulsions ; 59 died of the rare and remarkable disease called " chorea," and 120 from tetanus ; 13,672 deaths were referred to diseases of the organs of circula tion, 52,908 to diseases of the respiratory organs. Diseases of the digestive organs killed 22,620 per sons ; and 6,498 cases of hepatitis, jaundice, and general " liver diseases" _ are recorded. Diseases of the urinary organs, so distressing and debilitating, killed many, including 269 by nephritis, 934 by nephria (Bright's disease), 433 by diabetes, 233 by stone, and .270 by cystitis, or inflammation of the bladder. Itis significantly stated that there .were 177 deaths from stricture of the urethra. ' Diabetes kills 422, on the average, every year ; it is a Well defined disease and fluctuates but little. 2,917 deaths resulted from diseases of the generative organs ; 2,263 persons died of diseases of the loco motive organs (exclusive of scrofula, which oftut affects the bones) ; 672 from , diseases of the integu mentary system ; 1,000 children from diseases of growth, &c., and 14,912 persons from violent deaths. The mortality under intemperance &c., has declined during the last three years. Cold killed 86 persons in 1856, and 432 were poisoned. Dr. Farr shows that zymotic diseases more gene rally prove fatal to males than females, and the same holds good with regard to local diseases, cerebral diseases; diseases of the respiratory organs, diseases of the - liver, and violent deaths. Heart disease, as may be supposed, kills more women than men, but angina pectoris and aneurism arc most fatal to men. Diseases of the urinary organs killed 3,161 males, and only 1,166 females Dropsy, influenza, and phthsis are more fatal to women than to men. LITERATURE. China in 1857 and 1858 : being the rnies' Special Correspondence. By George Wingrove Cooke. Bvo., pp. 457. George Routledge. It will be a satisfaction to many thousands that those delightful articles, read with so much zest as they appeared periodically in the columns of our great morning contemporary—beginning on board the Aden, under date May 21, 1857, being written afterward. 3 successively from Hongkong, from Fat slim), from Macao, from Ilongehow, from Ningpo, from Chusam, from Shanghai, from Canton, and from Calcutta—have been already collected together and issued from the press in the form of a separate publication. The anonymous is at kngth dropped at the title-page of the goodly volume, in which the thirty-three letters addressed to Printing House-square by the Thunderer's Own Special Corre spondent are, as that same title-page inferms us, "reprinted by permission." Those hitherto in ignorance as to the author's individuality now learn a 1: that thi s em i nent l y graph i c pa i nter of t h e .Ch i nese as they a re is no other than Mr..WingroYe. Cooke, favourably known as the writer .of that political gm ly l opus " The History of Party." It is like the recognition of an old friencd, at the close of a masquerade. To specify the particular merits of this able and frequently brilliant corre spondence were altogether idle and superfluous. One description we are, however, fain here to revive to popular recollection by quo ti ng it. It is the author's description of a veritable " Chinese Dinner," given by himself to a select portion of the beauty and fashion of Nin . gpo. Votre .illifjeste est sertt or, as Bailey Junior quoth. at Todgers's, "Wictuals is up !" or, as Shaksperc's Union to his deluded Luc ts, " Welcome, dogs, and lap." H ere i s tht record. of as pretty a piece of gastronomy as ever was dedicated au gourmet, with a predetermi nation to make the reader's mouth water " The salon Was more like a slice of a verandah than a room. Its front was open to the narrow street. The table was laid with the preliminary trifles provocatives to the coming repast. There was a small square tower, built up of slices from the breast of a goose ; a tumulus of thin square pieces of tripe ; hard-boiled eggs of a dark speckled colour, which had been preserved in lime, and whose delicacy is supposed to be proportioned to their antiquity; berries and other vegetable substances preserved in vinegar ; a curious pile of some shell-fish, to me unknown, which had been taken from its shell and cut in thin slices; prawns in their natural, or rather in their artificial red state ; ground nuts, ginger, and candied fruits. " Everything was excellent of its kind, and the unknown shell-fish, particularly goal in flavour. lam afraid to say that the tripe, boiled to an almost gelatinous softneSs, was a creditable piece of cookery, but I know many Englishmen who would have -devoured the small heap with great avidity. - There was at first an air of suspicion in the manner we wandered over this light collation; but this soon gave way as the fruits, the pickles, or the shell-fish commended themselves to the several tastes. • " And now we sat-down to the serious business of the day. Each guest was supplied with a saucer and a porcelain spoon—they had brought their own chopsticks. A folded towel, just saturated with hot water, - was placed by each saucer—this is the Chinese napkin—and two tiny metal cups, motsa large as egg-cups, were allotted to every guest. At my side, to share our feast, and see that the rites' were properly performed, sat:the gravest of China Men: He wore his mandarin summer cap, for he was the - interpreter at one of the consulates. " The first dish was, in accordance with all proper prece dent, the birds'-nest--soup. I bere - Ve .some - of ns were rather snrprised not to sec the birds . -nests bobbing about in the bowl, and to detect - no flavour of sticks or feathers, or moss. What these birds'-nests are in their natural state I do not know, for I - hateriehedk On . n.'nithology, and have never been birde-nesting-intle- Straits. Their existence at table is apparent in a thick nincija..e. at the purface of the .Soup: BeloW this yolr come. to w - rte liquid and chickens flesh. It 17)m - objected that.. this- was a fade.anir tasteless delicacy. - Blit'reraaik that these two basins - are only the suns of little systems: !The same hands that brought them in scattered alse an mlopo'affe of still smaller basins. These are sauces of eyeiT.it&Your and strength, 'from crushed fresh chilies to simple soy. Watch the Chinaman: How cun ningly he compounds. - • • - • -" sir, you not mean to say that you ate this mucilage' with your chopsticks ?' " 'No, niadain,:46 - s - cooped it with our saucers and ate it with our porcelain speons.' " The next course was expected with a verynervous excite ment. It was-a stew of sop-;lug. As I have seen - them at Macao they are white, but as served'at Ningpo they are e.reen. I credit the Imperial Academician's as the orthodox dish. They are slippery, and very difficult to be handled by inexperienced chopsticks ; but they are most succulent and pleasant food, not at all unlike in flavour' to the green fat of the turtle. If a man cannot cat anything:et a kind-whereof he has not seen his father and grandfather :4 6 f d th l e.? we must leave him to his oysters, and his periWinkleS; hie his crawfish, and not expect- him to swalloW,the - mUch more comely sea-slug. But surely a Briton who haa-eaten him self into a poisonous phethein upolfrausseist has no right to hold up his - hands and eyes at a Chinaman enjoying his honest well-cooked stew Of Wees de suer. - " During the discussion of this dish our Chinese master of the ceremonies solemnly interposed. WeNtere neglecting the rudiments of politeness. No one had yet offered to intrude one of these sleek and savoury delicacies, deeply rolled in sauce, into the mouth of his neighbour. Efforts were made to retrieve the barbarian honour, but with no great success, for the slugs were evasive, and the proffered mouthful was not always welcome. " The next dialt we- , sturgeon skull-cap—rare. and .gela tinous, but I think not so peculiar in its flavour as to excuse the death of several royal fish. "Thus dish being taken from its brazen lamp-heated stand, was succeeded by a stew of shark fins and pork. The shark fins were boiled to so soft a consistency that theymighthave been turbot fins. The Chinaman must have smiled at the unreasonable prejudices of the Occidentals When he sag' some of us tasting the pork but fighting shy of the shark. He probably, however, did not know that the same Occi dentals Foul(' eat with relish of a fish which they had themselVes enticed to their angle by a worm or a maggot. " Next in order came a soup composed of hal's of ei ab. I have tasted this better prepared at Macao. It assumes there the form of a very capital salad, made of crab and cooked vegetables. " Meanwhile the ministering boys flew an'l fluttered round the table, for ever filling the little wine-glasses with hot water from the metal pots. There were three kinds — the strong samshu, for every occasional ; the medi cated wine, for those who,- having once experienced its many flavours, chose to attempt it a second time ; and the ordinary wine, wlech is so like slurry negus that any one who can drink that preparation may be very well ,satisfied with its Chinese substitute. " The Chinaman had drunk with each of the (moire* almost in English fashion, but in strict obedience to the Chinese rites, and ungallantly challenging the male part of the company first. "And now we became clamourous for bread or rice. After a succession of not by any means gross, but certainly nutri tious and mucilaginous dishes, the pelate and the st 111 no craved some farinaceous food. Nothing was easier to pro cure. The boys—our own boys, accustomed to wait at our English Inners—brought in loaves at .the lightest intima tisn ' - but our arbiter atom,' interposed. Bread at it Chinese feast is contrary to the rites.' " We consoled ourselves by throwiing at him a decisive and unanimous opinion that this was the weak point of Chinese gastronomy." * 5' " So we continued our attentions to the ducks' tongues, end passed on to deers' tendons— a royal dish. These deem' tendons come, or ought to come, from Tartary. The em perors Make presents of them to their favoured subject 4. Yeh's father at Canton, recently received some from his sovereign, and gave a feast in honour of the present. The:-0 must have been boiled for a week to bring thedi'down to the state of softness in_which they canto up to us. " E*hausted, or rather repleted, nature could no mere. When a stew of what the Chinese call the ear shell-fish was placed upon the table, no one could carry his experi ments further. An untouched dish is a signal for the close of the feast. The waiter d' hotel praested that he had twenty more courses of excellent rarity, but our Chinese master of the ceremonies wes imperative, and so were we. Plain boiled rice, the rice of Szechreu, was brought round in little bowls, and of this we all ate plentifully. Confec tionary and candied fruits, and acanthus-lerries steeped in spirits, followed, and then tea. No uncooked fruit is allowed at a • Chinese dinner. They have a proverb that fruit is feathers in the morning, silk at noon, and lead at night. I was assured by competent authority that nothing had been placed upon the table which was not in - the highest degree wholesome, nutritious, and light of diges tion. We certainly so found: it ; for, excellent supper house of one of the eonvires, wo made an a djourning to the that night. "The master of the ceremonies now looked round him with a swollen and satisfied air, and—crypit »ions—front his mouth came forth a loud sonorous noise, which a certain dramatist has not scrupled to bedeck with knighthood, and to christen Sir Toby. He, the Chinaman, seemed proud of his performance. I'Ve sat uncomfortable on our chairs, did not know which way to look, and some of us would have run away, had there been anywhere to run to. Some one who could speak the language gave him a hint which made him declare emphatically that it would be an insult to the founder of the feast it this testimony was not loudly given to the sufficiency of the entertainment, and the pletion of the guests. It was with some difficulty that he was prevailed upon to turn over this chapter of the book tites." The whole work is written thus quaintly, gra phically, amusingly, delightfully.

A GERMAN FESTIVAL. The festival generally opens with a guffaw of a peal from the bell or bells of the village church. Then comes a firing of cannon, Without which hilarity cannot have its fling in Germany. The cannonade is a curious operation to witness. There seems to be a generally felt distrust of the sound ness of the pieces, which strongly resemble clock weights bored longitudinally, and the artillery man, who is a conditionally-reprieve , ' eon er flx Lol, or sonic other desperate and rec klcss character, gets a very wide berth while the firing is going on. As he approaches, the small boys who 'have been inspecting the bat tery take flight and put their fingers in their cars. The dauntless cannoneer, however, advances, undis mayed, holding a very long stick with a match at the end of it, and cautiously stalks the first gun. There is a small puff, at which he jumps back, and then a bang, at No. 2, and when the salute has been fired the church sets up another guffaw, partly to congratulate the gunner on his escape, partly to kill time until the ;rims are loaded again. Then there is mass in the church, which is hung all round inside with garlands, and dressed for the occasion. This goes on nearly all day. The evening entertainments in general begin with a concert in the largest room the village can boast of. The price of admission never exceeds five groschen, and - the performance is, for the money, literally the most stunning thing you ever heard. As every German is more or less musical, the great difficulty seems to decide who shall not be in the band; consequently there is a musician for every one of the audience, and perhaps one or two over. You take your seat not without fear and trembling, when you perceive the frightful dispro portion between the size of the room and the extent of the orchestra ; and presently the conductor taps his desk in the regular way, and off they go with some piece of very high classicality. After a little you perceive that the conductor is in something the same position as the huntsman of a scratch pack of hounds ; the dogs, a:s individuals, are good dogs, but there is a little too much individuality among them. They threw off gallantly, and dashed out of cover in a style that could scarcely be surpassed by the Royal Italian or Mr. Costa's pack; and while the scent is strong over the opening move ment they keep well together. But before long there are unmistakeable signs of an impending check. First cornet all but throws up. Bass-viol shows a disposition to run hare after a tune of his own. Sax horn scarcely acknowledges the scent ; but Cla rionet holds to it steadily, and the conductor caps them on for another burst. Fortunately, here the come on a fine stretch of slow movement, and work beautifully together. A little bit of allegro inter venes, which they go at breast high, and. get over capitally. But at the other side they are at fault again. That inveterate shifter Trombone is at his old tricks. Little Piccolo, a giddy y-oung, thing, is running heel wildly. Cond uc to r is des perate ;he taps his desk madly. All seems lost. But no ; old Claironet has it still ; good old dog, he never gave it up ; he flourishes a bit—he breaks away. Hark to Clarionet ! Off they go once more, and run into the finale with a crash. Then all clear out, and dancing sets in severely all over the town. Every house that has a floor and a fiddler becomes an extempore Almack's. The whole village has gone waltzing mad. As you go down the street you see nothing through the open windows but systems of revolving couples chasing each other along endless orbits. Outside, small children nearly send you on your nose by waltzing under your feet. You feel a desperate inclination to go and waltz with something - yourself, if it was even with the town pump ; but on the whole you think better of it and go to bed, wondering how on earth it happens that with all this jollity nobody has got drunk.—Fraser's Magazine for October. TIIE CROPS IN ULSTER.- -- The northern papers generally continue to report favourably of the prospects of the farmers. The weather in that quarter had been somewhat broken of late, but the prevalent opinion still is that the harvest of 1858 will prove lushly remunerative. The Whig of yesterday says : tc b un ng the past ten days the weather in the north of Ireland has been of the most changeable character--rain and warm sunshine 'alternately following with great rapidity. The labours connected with gathering in the harvest have, however, under these difficulties been gene rally pursued steadily, and the result now is that a small amount of the crops remains to be cut down in the north of Ireland. Our correspondents, writing trom various parts of Ulster, speak favourably of the general yield of farm ing industry ; and it is gratifying to learn that a great deal of the alarm felt as to the safety of the potato crop is passing away.- Our Carrickfergus correspondent writing on Tuesday, observes :—" I do not recollect any former year when the farmers were so generally caught by the rain as they have been lately. Last week commenced with all the appearance ofFettled fine weather, and harvest work was going on regularly and smoothly, when suddenly themiddle of the night, between the 21st and 22(1--- die weather broke, and there followed - two days of an even down-pour. The damage done was serious,- and the prospects for the fntnre gloomy in the extreme. A large portion of the - crop' was exposed in the stook, and, what was warse,i a large quantity was in stack but not thatched. However, the fine weather since the 24th has gone far to retrieve the damage, and I may now say that, with the exception - of the very7high-lying.distriet, the har vest is now all secured. Nothing new remains but to thrash and sell. From Newtonlimavady we learn that harvesting is going on favourably where late, and there is no difficulty in securing it safely, although the weather has been broken for the last week. It is remarked in that neigh bourhood that late oats will yield much heavier than the early crop," ~,, I
