The Committee of Management have great pleasure in re ferring the Shareholders to the Report oft he Committee of the House of Commons, unanimously deciding that the preamble of the Leices • ter and Bedford Railway Bill has been satisfactorily established before them. The Committee of the House of Commons arrived at this unani-. mous decision after an investigation of nearly three weeks, during which period every effort was made by the Midland Company to procure the rejection of the Leicester and Bedford in favour of their own scheme—the South Midland.

It is 'very durable, and naturally a repellent of rain, yet so porous as to admit of a due escape of exces sive bodily heat.

HYAM, Pantechnetheca, 36, Gracechurch-street, London. EYEBROWS, MOUSTACHES, and WHIS KERS produced in a few weeks by using an essential Spirit drawn from choice Aromatic Herbs, the peculiar properties of which are known only to the Inventor, and although perfectly inno cent in itself, will produce new Hair on bald places, caused by weak ness of constitution, or where Nature has not bestowed this orna ment of tbe human figure. It has been known to many of the Nobi :ity and Gentry upwards of eleven years, some of whom the Inven tor most sincerely thanks for their attestation of its merits, in the certainty of restoring Hair and giving it additional lustre and strength. Its virtues are manifold—it prevents the Hair from fall ing off or turning gray ; a few drops on the crown of the head will remove the most distressing pain in that part produced by or at tended with faintness ; and is acknowledged by the Faculty as the only specific known to cure that disease of the head called Porigo de calvans (which causes the Hair to come off in patches) ; a few applications remove dandriff. This wonderful discovery is fully ex plained in a pamphlet, containing testimonials to its regenerating new Hair upon bald places, entitled, " Three Minutes' Advice on the Growth and Preservation of the Human Hair," by Fr brimstone, Inventor of the Aromatic Regenerator for the Growth I fthe Human flair, and a certain preventative of headache and fainting ; also a toilet perfume—bearing the Inventor's signature, Herbary, High gate, near London.

The Right Hon. Gentle man on the occasion in question added that a new Bill would shortly be introduced to amend the Act of George 111., cap. 15. The staffs of the respective regiments have since been severally filled up; but otherwise the matter was entirely lost sight of up to a few days since, when the following circular was made public, being addressed to the colonels commandant of the various regiments:— " MILITIA OF GREAT BRITAIN. " Circula, No. " War office, May i 3. "Sir—Adverting to my circular letter of the Ist of December last, respecting the re-formation of the staff of the -- regiment of militia under your command, I have now the honour to draw your attention to the fol lowing points to be observed in discharging the sergeants whom you wish to recommend to the commissioners of Chelsea Hospital for the grant of pension. " The sergeants who have served uninterruptedly twenty years as non-commissioned officers, and shall be certified on their discharges to be sixty years of age and upwards, will not be required to appear personally before the commissioners of Chelsea Hospital, but their dis charges must be transmitted in the manner hereafter described. _ ..!qb.9-_golurnivoners will take the necessary steps. for apprising you of the day on which the sergeants whose ages do not amount to sixty years of age, but whose service and disabilities confer a claim to be recommended to a pension, shall appear before the board at Chelsea for medical examination and admission to the pension list. " The adjutant or acting adjutant, should be desired to state,' upon the discharge of every-sergeant-major or sergeant, the period from and to which he had served in the various ranks in order that the commi ss i oners may be enabled to decide with facility upon each claim. These discharges are to be forwarded in sufficient time to ad mit of their examination. The sergeants are to receive an advance of pay to enable them to proceed to Chelsea, and a sum sufficient to enable them to defray the expense of their carriage by railway at the contract rate for soldiers, &c., as detailed in the regulations relative to the conveyance of her Majesty's forces to the station where the board is held. " In cases where the head-quarters of a regiment is at a distance from a railway station, the serjeants will be granted the usual rate of marching allowance at Is. Id. per diem for every ten miles travelled on each day. "The serjeants of the militia in Scotland will begranted marching money at the rate of sd. per diem for every ten miles marched to the port at which they will embark for their destination. "If a sergeant should be admitted to pension from Chelsea Hospital, the district paymaster in London may advance the difference between the daily rate of pension and the usual marching allowance of ls. 6d. a-day on his return to the head-quarters of his regiment, or to his home in the country. " The district paymaster may also make such advance as will be necessary until the date of the assembly of the board, and on the return of the sergeants to the head-quarters of their regiments and their homes, the adjutant or acting paymaster will be instructed to reim burse the amount so advanced, and charge the same in his pay lists. " The sergeants whose claims to pensions shall be re jected by the commissioners, will be granted a gratuity of ninety days' pay on their return to the head-quarters of their corps, to enable them to return to their homes, or to find other employment, such gratuity to commence from the date of the decision of the commissioners, and the account may be charged in the regimental accounts; such sergeants shall also be granted a free passage by railway or steam-vessel, on their return to head-quarters. "The sergeants who have already been supplied with clothing from the Ist .April, 1845, for the biennial or quadrennial periods, will be allowed a compensation of 2s. 6d. or ls. 3d. per month, as the case may be, to 30th June, 1846, but they will be required to leave their clothing at the head-quarters of the corps, for the use of their successors; and at the expiration of the period above alluded to new clothing will be issued, by which arrangement the uniformity now existing on this point will be maintained. " I have also to observe, that so soon as the notifica tion by the commissioners of Chelsea Hospital of the dates on which the sergeants in question shall have passed the board, or whose claims to pension shall have been rejected, shall be signified to you, it will be com petent to you, if you think fit, to select from the pension ers from the regular army the numbers necessary to complete the staff to the reduced establishment already notified, and for which purpose the staff-officers of pen sioners in your immediate neighbourhood will be in structed to put themselves in communication with and afford you any information and assistance which you may require. " The pay of the sergeant who shall be selected to complete the establishment will commence on the day on which they shall join the regiment. " The clothing left by the discharged sergeants must be made available for their successors ; when no such clothing exists, application must be made to this office for the necessary supply. " At a future period, however, arrangements will be made for establishing one uniform period at which such supplies of clothing shall be delivered. have the honour to be, your obedient servant, SIDNEY HERBERT.

HOP INTELLIGENCE. (From the Maidstone Journal.) MAIDSTONE.—Our hop bine is still very rank, but in some places the leaves are rather yellow. The fly and lice blight is to a greater extent than ever was remem bered so early in the season. From the circumstance of its coming so early, and the barometer standing so high as it does at present, we are led to hope it may be favourable to a crop, as a blight this year would not be of the least use to the:growers, they not having any on hand, the crops of the last few years not having exceeded the consumption. There are at present fly in Mid-Kent to the extent of 40 to 50 on a leaf, and lice beyond num ber. The bine in the strong grounds, such as the vine hills at Farleigh, is in many instances above the tops of the poles, and the pins are shooting out, as much as we might expect at the latter end of June. We consider Mid-Kent at present in a very severe fly and lice blight. Our reports from the districts around are somewhat at variance with each other. From Farleigh we learn that the hops are very healthy and growing most vi gorously with a decrease of fly. From Ulcomb, Broom field, and the vicinity, a rapid increase of fly, from two or three ou a leaf on Wednesday to fifty on Friday, and at the present time our correspondent svgs he never saw them so thick. The roses and ivv in the same neigh bourhood are also completely blighted by the fly. Otham and Leeds, looking Zell, but a vast quantity of fly. Brenchley—bine looking tolerably well, but a great increase of fly. Cranbrook—the bine growing rapidly, but the fly never known to be so numerous at this season of the year. Mereworth—the bine growing fast and looking very promising, but within the last few days there a good deal of fly has made its appearance. Tunbridge—looking very well as far as bine goes ; in some places they are over the tops of the poles. There is a great deal of flea and fly iu places in some gardens almost amounting to a blight. The cold weather and hail storm last week has had very serious effect on the bine in places in this vicinity. Wrotham, Plaxtol, and Igtham.—The hop plant in this neighbour hood is progressing vigorously, the bine s t rong an d healthy, fly has made its appearance, in some grounds very thickly, but not so much so as to create any alarm. The fly golding has also arrived, and commenced operations which may possibly have a tendency con siderably to counteract the evils to b e a pp re h en d e d f rom the fly. Neither the cold east winds nor the insect has at present retarded the progress of the plant. The accounts from Sussex represent the plantations in the neighbourhoods of Hurst Green, Burwash, Sand hurst, and the Weald, smothered with fly. (From the Worcester Journal.) WORCESTER.—in our last we s tated that there was no appearance of fly in this plantation, but within a few days the whole district has been attacked in a manner whi c h has caused a great sensation among the planters as to the fate of the crop. The oldest growers do not remember such a sudden visitation as the present, and more particularly at this early period of the season. These un f avoura b le ap pearances have given life to this market, and caused on Sa turday an advance in prices of 4s. to 6s. per cwt., inducing li several planters and speculators to withd raw th e i r h o p s from sale, in anticipation of shortly re a li s i ng hi g h er ra t es . Further accounts have this morning been received from the different districts of this and the adjoining county, all of which speak of a very great increase of fly since Satur day, in many grounds the bine being literally covered with insects, with lice and nits innumerable. In conse quence of these unfavourable reports our market has again advanced, prices being full ss. per cwt. higher. From the lowest tune we quote an advance of nearly 20s. per cwt. upon all desc r ipti ons . D u ty i s called 12,0001. Prices this day are about-1845, 51. to 71.; choice, 8/.

PRICE SD. THE MURDERS BY POISONING IN NORFOLK. HAPPISBURGH, TUESDAY MORNING.—A further in vestigation into the circumstances attending this re volting affair was, at the instance of the Secretary of State, commenced yesterday morning by Mr. Pil grim, the county coroner, at the village of East Ruston, two miles from this place, on view of the bodies of Martha William, and Maria Green, grandchildren of the de ceased Jonathan Balls, who have, without a doubt, died from the effects of poison. The jury, with the coroner, proceeded to the parish churchyard to view the bodies, which had been exhumed about an hour previously. The children having been in terred by the side of each other, their coffins were with , out m uc h trouble found. The boy had been buried in a parish coffi n , with the parish brand, the others were of village make, and were spoken with certainty. The melancholy ceremony having been gone through, The CORONER addressed the jury, and very much re gretted the shocking affair that had brought them toge ther, and the circumstances that attended it. He thought the step taken by Sir James Graham was one that had given general satisfaction, and the gentleman whom the. Secretary of State had sent down had been most active and persevering in collecting, such facts as would tend to clear up the mystery attending the deaths. The affair ought to have been investigated before, and he could not help thinking that, if an inquiry had taken place at the death of the first child, it would have saved the lives of many others who have been sacrificed. Mrs. Green, daughter of the deceased Jonathan Balls, repeated in substance the evidence she gave on the occa sion of her former examination. She more particularly spoke of the suspicious circumstances attending the death of her eldest child, Maria, which happened nine or ten years ago, after she had been at her father's house only a shoit time, and when the child died she was not informed of it. Witness also dwelt upon the facts at tendant upon the death of the other children ; these have been already reported. She said she was much shocked and confounded by these deaths, but never thought that her own father could have done such things. Rosanna Peggs, wife of Bartholomew Peggs, of Hap pisburgh, deposed that she recollected the deceased child, Maria Green, being at her grandfather's house for more than a week. She saw the child on the Sunday before it died. Balls came and asked her if she would go to his house, for ho thought the child was dying. She went directly, and it had almost expired. She took it up in her arms, and after a struggle it died. Balls said it had eaten a hearty breakfast. She thought it strange that a child in good health should die so suddenly, and she told him so. He made no remark ; but when Mrs. areen came he seemed rather confused. The death was not talked of in the village particularly. The child had no fever. By the Coroner—She knew Balls' daughter that died. She was very ill, but did not know if she died suddenly . She was married. The c hild di e d i n two or three days: and the daughter in nine weeks. Mrs. Green was recalled, and spoke to the ill-treat ment her sister experienced before she died. Her mo ther never liked Lacey, her sister's husband. Before she died she wished to say a few words, but she had not strength. There were a number of black marks on her body. Her father and Lacey were friendly. The latter was still living. She believed his ill treatment was the cause of her death. The Coroner observed that it was an extraordinary thing that, although there was so much talk about this poor woman's death, no inquiry should take place. It was a very bad and shocking case. He would have the body disinterred in the course of the following morn ing, and ascertain what state it was in. The jury then adjourned for half an hour, and, on re assembling, it was announced that the surgeons had only examined the body of Ataria Green, the child that had been buried ten years, and they had discovered the pre sence of poison. This is the body of the child on which an inquest was held at the time of death, but on which there was no internal examination. The surgeons had not proceeded with the other two, and the coroner deter• mined on adjourning the inquiry until the next morning at nine o'clock. The Coroner afterwards proceeded to Ingham, where he gave orders fur the child of Peggs, who alsu died sus piciously, to be disinterred. The Whole of the cases will be taken on Tuesday, at the Happisburgh-hill House. H tPPISBURGFI, WEDNESDAY MOANING.—The inquiry WA resumed yesterday morning at the Harbro' Hill House of this village, before the same coroner and jury. According to the instructions of the coroner the remains of Maria Lacey were exhumed, but the body was quite decayed. The body of the child, Hannah Peggs, was disinterred on the previous evening at Hingham. The skeleton only remained. The jury being duly empannelled to inquire into the cause of the death of Maria Lacey and Hannah Peggs, the following evidence was taken : Elizabeth Peggs, daughter of the late Jonathan Balls, deposed that she had seen the coffins and knew one to be her deceased sister's and the other her child's. The latter had been buried about seven years. It was first taken ill at her house. It was In the habit of going to Its grandfather's house all day long, while she was out at work. On Saturday the 7th of June, 1839, the child came home unwell and died on the following Friday. It was sick just before it died. The old man (Balls) only came to witness's house once before the child died, at least, after being attacked, and that was on the day it died. It expired about five minutes after he arrived. Witness was with him all the time. She had no reason to suppose it died from any other than natural causes. She thought it had the small-pox. An inquest was held on the body. Mr. Clowes, the surgeon, attended, and witness considered that it died of the small-pox. By the CORONER—She never purchased any poison nor did she ever see a n y— remem b ere d b e i ng ta k en ill just before her sister died. That was about eleven years smce. She was seized in a field and was violently sick. Had not been to her father's shortly before, nor did she recollect her father coming to her house. Mr. Dicks attended her first ; Mr. Hewet, after. She thought it was the fever. By the jury—Did not say that she could have transported her father years ago if she had liked. Witness was further examined as to the death of her sister's infant, but proved nothing material. Of her sister she said they all thought she died from the lying-in and from the blow. Mr. Dicks attended her. Witness did not tell Mr. Dicks anything about it. She did not hear that her sister was beaten at Happisburgh fair. She was there just before she died. Did not hear Lacey say if his wife got better he would use her worse than ever he did. Had seen him treat her kindly. Mary Green said her father proposed the marriage between her sister and Lacey, because her sister was in the family way by him. Her father promised to give them some things, but did not. Lacey used to " cheek" her about it. Witness was at the death of her sister Her further evidence was quite immaterial. Ann Lawson, wife of George Lawson, labourer at Happis bugh, on being sworn, stated that she had known the de ceased Mrs. Lacey before she was married. Did not know what became of the child that was born about a year after marriage. Witness visited her when she was dying. Wit ness, on laying her out, noticed a mark on her body. It ap peared like a kick, almost like a blow from the toe of a shoe. She did not know if any doctor attended her. The investigation was adjourned with a view of hearing the result of the medical examination of the remains of the deceased. ACTION ON THE DESPERATE HELFORD RI VER. Again has the tranquillity of this ill-fated river been broken by the dui of war. It appears that Colonel SouthgateOof the Helford Oyster Brigade, being on duty near the spot, fell in with a detachment of the Royal Female " Triggers," who were busy making prisoners of the muscle, cockle, limpit, and other defenceless tribes. The colonel instantly called to them to sur render, which they indignantly refused. He then attempted to take them vi et armis, when they opened such a well-directed discharge of mud and shingle as compelled him to jump at the gallant officer, into his boat and sheer off. Nothing daunted by his defeat, although miserably daubed with mud, and otherwise disfigured, the gallant colonel having collected, as he thought, a sufficient force, battleagain alalonndedtLanbdealictriff drawn up his men in order of dispatched an aide-de-camp to repeat his former demand, on whose visage a reply was, in an instant, most legibly stamped, by a muddy fist. The colonel, now greatly exas perated, and elated with the thoughts of carrying off so many fair captives to -- Castle, ordered his men to advance; which they did in the most perfect order, not withstanding the storm of mud and shingle that now assa il e d them. For a moment they_ halted — again they d a shed forward—but th e volleys of mud had rendered unserviceable their orga ns of vision ; and, in the most Quixotic manner, th ey were soon in hand to hand fight with rocks, boats, and stumps; while the enemy, taking advantag e o f the confusion, dashed npon them, sub stituting " claws " for bayonets, and for a long time the battle raged with great fury. Often were these amazons laid low, but instantly springing upon their feet, they fought with redoubled ardour. For a long time victory seemed doubtful some times inclining to the stronger, sometimes' to the better half ; until the commander of the former, recollect ing that victory or defeat would be equally disgraceful, and that " the better part of valour is discretion," wisely withdrew his muddy, bloody troops into the boats, where they lay silent with shame, and blind with mud, while the fair victors remained in quite possession of the field—an apt illustration of that fa vourite motto—" Though lost to sight, to memory dear." The following is the official return of killed and wounded :—Helford Oyster Brigade, Col. South gate, severely "screwed," uniform spoiled, and other wise maltreated. Aide-de-camp Major Toy, slightly wounded, " flop" in the " chops." Captain Wheatley, badly " screwed," not dangerously, beauty destroyed. The fortune of war brought this gallant little officer in juxta-position with his former sweetheart, whom he slighted; and ample proof did she give him that she still wished to make an impression on him. Royal Female Triggers, no casualties.— West Briton. On the 16th ult. a man, in the pit of the Roy a l Theatre at Vienna, shot himself in the middle of the per formance, covering the persons immediately around hi m w i t h his blood. A singular coincidence in this frightful event is, that at the instant before the report was heard, an actor on the stage, reciting his part, uttered the words, " A shot is about to be fired;" and for a moment the audi ence f anc i ed that the sound came from behind the scenes: The perform- - ance was stopped till the lifeless body was carried out, and then resumed. -.-- - 7`' --st ~~~ ~~ ,!.

ECCLESIASTICAL (IRELANLInava sm, a ET The following are extracts from the annual report of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners for Ireland to the Lord Lieutenant, for the year ending August 1, 1845 (just issued by order of Parliament) : We, the Ecclesiastical Commissioners ..for Ireland, whose hands and corporate seal are hereunto annexed, beg leave to report to your Excellency, pursuant to the provisions of the Act, 3 and 4 William IV., c. 37, the proceedings of the Commissioners,-for the year end ing Ist August instant. In respect to the augmen tation of small livings. the .Commissioners have, as op pertunities were afforded, • availed themselves of the power vested in them by the Act 3 and 4 Viet., C. 101, a. 6, by setting apart for augmentation purposes, out of the moneys accruing from tithes and glebes (ifs/more.- p e r o i v a n te c cl it h); su or ri c i le o r f s 2 o o f or the pe L r o a rd un L um te , ut i e ii na t n h t e and`}tear Pricy and a sum of 6121. 14s. 11d., in the year 1843, less by the charges incident for poor -rates and other necessary expenses. At the time of the disapproptiations, a con siderablo portion of the tithes, so vested in them was under lease, and the Commissioners, finding the lease had but a few years to run, refused to renew, and the term Navin, since expired, an increased annual amount of 270435. sd. has been thereby insured to the fund; part of which has been also so set apart. We have the gratification to state to your Excellency that, within this year, the Commissioners have been en abled to apply the moneys thus set apart to the atiemen• tation of forty-one benefices, and, in doing so, they were most desirous of effecting the object which seemed to be cantemplated by the Legi,l iture, of etionenting small livings to 1001. a year, late Irish currency, in the same manner as they are now empowered to apply the moneys bequeated by the late P r imate Bo:liter. To benefices of this class their attention has for the present been solely confined. \!~~ ou t T lofea Primate um ntßatoi°unite salaries amounted to the sum of 4,396/. 15s. ; and, under the powers invest e d i n th e C omm i ss i oners b y t h e prov i s i ons e r's Funpdaihdav to e, the w e i l th er in gy t f h r e om ye and of the Church Temporalities Acts, the sum of 6,4091. 15s. 4d. has been paid, in the way of stipends, to the city of Dublin, and to other curates, and also to diocesan school -masters. By the returns of promotions a n d o th erw i se , it ap pears that six dignities, consisting of the deaneries of the cathedral- arches of Li mer i ck, Killala and Emly, the precentotaffitof the cathedral churches of • Wider. ford and Emly,' and the archdeacunry of Clonfert ; fourteen prebends, one canonry, and eighty. two bene fices have become vacant within the year, of which eighteen only appear to be liable to tax. - Ye have co report that the proceedings taken by the Commissioners of Charitable Donations and Bequests, in relation to the tithes of Cahir, as referred to in a former report, have been terminated by an order of the Lord Chancellor, on an application made by those Commissioners, whereby it was ordered that the Ecclesiastical Commissioners an. their successors should be appointed trustees of the Charitable Be quests under Bishop Gore's will, they undertaking to administer the bequest agreeably to the inten tions expressed in the will of the testator, and to expend the funds in rebuilding and repairing old ruined churches in the dioceses of Waterford and Lismore, and to open a separate account on foot thereof; and liberty having been given to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, as such trustees, to commence proceed ings to enforce payment of the arrears of the charitable fund, such proceedings have been commenced, and we have every reason to expect that the amount due will be speedily recovered. In obedience to the above order, a separate account has been opened in relation to this be quest, and all sums received by the Commissioners on account thereof have been transferred thereto, and which has had the effect of diminishing their general fund by a sum of 1,424/. 16s. ld.„ being the amount heretofore received on foot of Bishop Gore's request. The Commissioners had hoped that all demands aris ing under the head of vestry cess, which had accrued due on and before the passing of the Church Tempo ralities Acts, had been fully satisfied, bnt claims have been preferred and admitted on ;his account within the past year to the amount of 54/. 17s. 6d. After providing for the several other charges, formerly defrayed by vestry assessment, the Commissioners have, within the year, appropriated to church works the sum of 24,0001., of Aich 18,469/. 16s. have been allocated to repairs, and 5,5301.45. to rebuildings, aided by private subscriptions to the amount of 2,359/. Os. 7d. The repairs undertaken by the Commissioners have been, in conformity with their practice for some years past, such only as appeared absolutely necessary, and extend over three-fourths of the churches in Ireland ; many of these, during preceding years, having been but partially repaired, and others, from the originally imper fect structure of the buildings, requiring a continued expenditure of small annual sums. Since the last report to your Excellency, the following churches, rebuilt by the Commissioners, have been , pened for divine service:—Mai aim, in the diocese of Dromore, for Vie accommodation of 560 persons; Bally sheehan and Kilbehenny, both in the diocese of Emly, the former for 130 persons, and tho latter for 120; Ring rone and Knockavilly,inthe diocese of Cork, the former for 150 and the latter for 190 ; Crocomohide, in the diocese of Limerick, for 120; and Creagh (Ballinasloe), in the diocese of Clonfert, for 780; and the churches of Moyrus, in the diocese of Tuam ; Ballycotton, in the diocese of Cloyne; Shanco, in the diocese of Clogher; and Killowen, in the diocese of Cork; erected altogether by means of private subscriptions, have been taken under the charge of tho Board. The annual instalments payable to the Commissioners for the repairs of the cathedral churches of Armagh, Waterford, Elphin, and Cashel, amounting to 178/. Os. 3d., have been duly received, according to the proportions to be contributed by the respective deans and chapters, under the terms of the certificates approved by the Lord. Lieutenant and the Council. An agreement for a demise of the sea-house and de nesne of Dromore, had been entered into by the com missioners, with Mr. Henry Thomas Baylie, under which he had been put into possession of the premises, as men tioned in the last report ; but we regret to state that Mr. Baylie haying failed to fulfil his agreement, the com missioners have been compelled to resume the possession, and to take legal proceedings to enforce payment of the rent and compensation for injury done to the property whilst in his possession. With reference to the act of the 6th and 7th Vic., c. 67 , affording relief to the Bishop of Kilmore in respect o f the building charge on that see, the Commissioners have paid to his Lordship. in the way of interest on that charge, the sum of 6021. Os. Bd., and to the representa tive of the late incumbent of Moymet, in the diocese of Meath, the balance of the charge on the glebe-house of that parish, which payment, together with the expenses attendant on the commission of dilapidations, amounted to 491. 1 ls. 4d. With the view of effecting a considerable saving in the expenses attendant on the collection of the revenues of the board, the Commissioners have deemed it advisable to dispense with the services of local agents, except with respect to some small properties which, from their pecu liar nature, could not be otherwise attended to; and having established an agency office within their depart ment, a scale of salaries was submitted to, and approved by, your Excellency, for such additional clerks as ap peared necessary for the du^ discharge of the business. In relation to the perpetuity purcases, 44 applica tions have been received within the year, of which four were from sub-tenants, and the rernttinder from immediate tenants. The 'ales of perpetuities have amounted to 11,1461. 17s. 6d., arising princi. pally from applications received in preceAng years, of which sum 10,8211. 18.. 2d. has bc'r:n lodge d . in the Bank of Iceland to the cr , rlit of the Perpetuity Purchase Fund, and the re,iclue, 3241. 19.5. 4 o t f l . , t h tas mo b r e t e g n ag s e ec s u p r r e e d . by mortgage.

SpoNTANEIJs Ta F st r aa Qocticasebieoenedwe ha bby the owing to the dryness of the season, has been for some time raging in the forest behir.d and below Quebec. Two houses at Lake St. Charles, and more than twenty in the township of Stoneham, have been destroyed. But the greatest destruction has taken place at Grand Baie, and the neighbourhood of Chicoutimi. Nearly the whole of the former village is in ashes, the church of St. Alexis, the priest's kouse, the house and store of the Hudson's Bay Company, and a few small houses, being alone saved. Three mills belonging to Messrs. Price, together with a large quantity of timber and sawn lumber, and the wharfs, were consumed. The provisions in store and the sown grown are also destroyed. Aided by a high wind, the flames spread with such fearful rapidity that nothing could be saved.. Three thousand people are without sh-Iter, clothing, or food, the whole amount of provisions saved being only twenty barrels of flour, and about the same quantity of pork. AN EXCISEMAN ON FIRE.—The manufacture of phosphorous having been recently introduced into Stafford shire, an amusing, though rather alarming, occurrence took place at a manufactory where some experiments were being conducted. It being usual to work out the process in rather a private manner, a rumour reached the ears of the excise man of the district to the effect that some illicit work was going on at Willenhall. He paid a vist to the establish ment, and was assured that there was no manufacture in progress in any respect liable to the Excise. Not content with this answer, the guager insisted on inspecting the pre mises; and, in order to satisfy himself that there really was no deception practised, he put in the side-pocket of his coat a few of the phosporous sticks, clear as amber, and without any smell. As phosphorous becomes voluntarily combusti ble at the temperature of the body, th e exc i seman had not proceeded far when he found smok e i ssu i ng from his pock and almost immediately af t e r a vo l ume of flame. As this , Willen hall,happenedhe ia vws soon surroundedhilehe y,-asmarchbiny a gdloowt-n of the street d ree a t n of literally his coat had to be torn to pieces before the phosphorous could be put out. The guager was thus taught a very instructive lesson in chemical science by a practical experiment, which in all probability he will not - repeat. To MAKE WATER COLD FOR SIIMMER.—The follow ing is a simple mode of rendering water almost as cold as ice :-.Let the jar, pitcher, or vessel used for water be sur rounded with one or more folds of coarse cotton, to be con stantly wet. The evaporation of the water will carry off the: heat from the inside, and reduce it to a freezing point. In India, and other trophical regions, where ice cannot be pro cured, this is common. THE CATTLE DzsEasz.--Vire regret to learn, that a. considerable farmer in the vicinity of Edinburgh has recently lost thirty-seven cows and sixteen calyes, by the- raya#ea the murrain which has been for some tims preval4t amongst cattle.
