SAUNDERS, Secretary , The town of Birmingham has been in-agitate of great commotion during the last few weeks,,ini_copiecluence of a series of what are termed "Ilevrvar'lneetings, the scenes at which are of a most extraor*narY and unpre cedented character. It app ea r s th a t theellg : Ca hey. a minister in connexion with th e \ e SI Episcrpal.' Church in America, commenced these meetings about three months ago, in one of the W es l e) an c h a p e l s , an d I that the effects of his preaching were such as to excite members of his audience. chaffy females, to an extent bordering on distraction. The notoriety of the preacher, and the scenes that occurr e d, drew immense crowds, and for sixty successive night the spacious chapel in Cherry street was not only filled, but hundreds had to turn away from the doors for want of room within. The reverend gentleman has now changed the scene of his labours, having this week commene(d another course of meet ings in a different part of the town. The same results have followed as at the previous meetings, and no pen can describe what these results really are. dome idea of the character of the sermon, however, rimy be formed from a brief account of what oc cuived on Sunday. After a s'tort sermon in the morn ing .'if a practical kind, but chiefly remarkable for the declan , tatory charact er o f t h e style, those who " were ' set king' ,salvation" were incited to attend the meeting in the afternoon. At this service preparations were made to assist all virlio might go forward in their inquiries and as pirations by about thirty lay and clerical preachers, who had previous' v taken their place within the altar there for that purpose`. A'lr. to ,now invited the inquirers to c ome for ward and " when they were saved, ot h ers would have the o the aug a b l e t Y ar, p oortunity of taking their place." A good many, principally females, o es, f a t t h t e mcmeoosbteye maniacal-like dthecall, a c t e ld ser t i h p e ti n on eo w m h n i i e e h nc e ed at % e possibly be conceived. The ex hibition of the unknown •Jongues was nothing in com parison with it. Some we're sighing, others crying— _ some ejaculating , cripture phases with great violence of speech a nd gesture — an d some, Again seemed absorb ed in a rhausody of s il ent d evot i on . As they knelt round the altar, almost ev er y i nqu i rer h a d oree , if not more, of these spiritual advisers kneeling before her, in close conversa tion ; w hil e ot h ers, less devotedly engaged, exclaimed, The w o rk goes on the work goes On ?" By and by several of t h ese most strongly affected were removed into the Vestry, where they were at ten d ed by Mr:. C ang h ey ' s as sistants ; b u i two worshippers, a man andhis wife, clung to the rails of the altar with something like a death grasp, and continued in that position for fully half an hour. Around these persons about a dozen young ministers were grouped ; one planted himself on his knees immediately in front of the woman, and while vehemently entreating her to believe, first one and then anther of the congregation fell on his knees, and in a state of the greatest excitement continued in prayer ; others were singing, and just as the noise began to quiet a little, the person in front of the woman motel up and cried out, " Glory ! glory ! she le heves," wh en t h e , whole assembly within the altar rails burst forth in Er strain of the wildest acclamation—" Glory I glory I Hallelujah ! Amen." In the midst of this melte, Mr. Caue n terwho had been quietly overlooking the exhibition fm b r y o the the sid e pu lpi t,o h e w d a is lk tr e e d ssed dow w n o , ma a, nn told d kin th g e his place that she would " get saved that afternoon. The voice e of God had said so to him, and as her husband had got saved last week, he was now wrestling in prayer that his wife might get saved. too." Again the young man already referred to got up, and exelaiming " She's saved !" the whole chorus, in the most trant,le like manner, burst forth afresh in the exclamation " Glory! glory!" This was too much for human nature. The poor woman now completely broke down, the blood seemed dancing in every vein of her head, and when about to leave the altar she fell into the arms of her bus-- band in an almost lifeless state. In this condition 'She was taken to the vestry, accompanied by the yowl; men who surrounded her, end the door was shut. In the. evening Mr. Caughey preached from the text, " This year thou shalt die;" and after assuring the audience ttrs t hhte h ) elem a . t he tstereaudnit nhe theos t of his text been a , :particulars tei tedoui rv e l ea assemb ly m oi divine ho s tt s hemh i a o eomt n nci ed eastsshwieoi cases ssn y t tewha be which ahrte ont L hhf a o epady r rg d t preaching emanc illustrat e d l must etn w mgd a a n n : who had become so alarmed under the sermon, that he 11 his wife " t h at h e could stand it no longer;" went home, had just time to say he had insured his life for a thousand pounds; that he had his soul also insured in heaven, and died. The other was that of a poor man it York, who, after the service, said to his wife that he had no doubt but that year he should die as Mr. Cau,ghey had told him ; and in less than ten days he was found by a gentleman passing by the wayside , _ resting .n bed of chaff, and u tt er i ng th e words "God have mercy on me," and he died. The effect of these anecdotes, as told by the speaker, was such that but few people of weak minds could withstand them ; and when ttea speaker had worked the feelings of his audience to the• highest pitch of excitement, there was enough is the scene to drive even wise men mad. Having requested the gas-keeper not to turn on the gas till he gave orders for it, the sepulchral-like gloom, as night came down, was made a great deal of. This period was devoted ;e l the exercise of devotion, in which the speaker called Kean all who were impressed to follow him in his vow to "re nounce the world, the devil, and the flesh ;" and after a while the gas was turned on, when a shout of exultation, praising God that he had ill um i ne d at t h e same time the minds of the people present, closed this service, Then followed a repetition of the scent s enactenh dm after noon, and, we believe, with the same or similar efkts. From this description of these meetings, does it not ap pear remarkable that with all our boasted intelligence,. there should still be so much superstition end prejudice• amongst the people ? It is no defence of these unnaturali and unseemly exhibitions to say, that the chief actors are: sincere, nor that in many instances good has thus been* done.

Whn n this is completed an electric telegraph will be establish( d - from the coast to Paris, and thence to Marseilles. This telegraph t h roughout ' France will be immediately under the itireetion of the French Government, as, according to the law of 1837, all telegraphic communications through . that country are under the absolute control and superintendence of the Minister of the Interior. Upon the completion of the submarine telegraph across the English Channel, it is stated that a similar one, on _the most gigantic scale, will be attempted to be forms d. under the immediate sane- Lion and patronage of the French Administration ; this is no less than that td connecting the shores of Africa with those of Europe by the same instrumentality, thus opening a direct and lightning-like communication be tween Marseilles and Algt•ria. It has been doubted by several scientific men whether this is practicable, and indeed, whether even the project between the coasts of France and England can be accomplished, but it has been proved by experiments, the m e-t satisfactory in their results, that not only can it be effected, but effdted without any considerable difficulty. Certain learned and able men of science asserted that it was impossible to bring steam to such a state of perfection as to make it available. for trans-Atlantic navigation; a few short months have convinced them that the dictum so boldly propounded was altogether fallacious.

She has none upon her main - deck. although we will do her the justice to say we relieve she could both carry and use them in that situation if she tried, and would not then be so easily cantett over as she now is by the slightest inequality of the weights on either side. which is in consequence of all her dead we being "on deck," instead of part betseen, and nut inconse quence of a wedge-like bottom, as is supposed. But no alteration will now piece her upon an equality with the Terrible, which we uebes3tatingly pronounce the finest and most 'efficient steam-ship in the world.

The worst, however, is anticipated. A pronunciamiento had been declared at Vigo, on the 10th, by the whole of the officers anti 'soldiers, in favour of Prince 1)on Enrique. It was generally responded to. The Governor of Vigo and Military Commandant were furnished with passports for Cadiz, and were to leave by the next packet. N 9 blood had been shed. Her Britannic Majesty's Cohsul had been officially in formed by the Political. Chief of Corunna, by order of his Excellency the C a ptain-General of Galicia, that in consequence of martial law having been pronounced, the British mail steamers would not be allowed to land the mails and passengers at Corunna except during the day time. They would not be allowed either to touch at Vigo. Marti it law had been declared at Corunna. The Go vernor is determined to fire on the town, in the event of a movement in favour of the young Prince. Other parts of Galicia were in a very distracted state. Nearly all the troops had marched from Corunna to Vigo to suppress the revolt, if possible. lasnoN, APRIL 10.—The Bill conferring the Regency upon the King Consort, in the event of the Qt.uon s death during the infancy of the In•ir apparent. has passed the Chamber of Peers by a very Itege majority, there having been only 10 dissentient voices. The Duke of Palmelia, after arguing against it, voted for it. As the Revolucao remark his motives most be respected, but they cannot bo misunderstood. Na other business of any interest is going on in the Cortas at present. The session, however, has be. n prolonged to the 30th instant, and will probably he still further exp nded in order to give time for the discussion of the budget, which has 3 et to commence, as well as of the report of the Commissioners recently appointed to revise the tariff of import duties. The Commissioners, it is expected, will be enabled to lay their report before the Chambers in tr fortnight or three weeks. Meanwhile their proceedings to a certain extent are 'no secret ; and it is already pub licly known that. except as regards some few articles of trifling importation and consumption, the duties are to be raised instead of being low; red, and. that on the ground that Sir Robert Peel's free-trade measure will enable England to' manufacture cheaper, it behoves Portugal to afford additional protection tc her own native industry. I learn from a sus e source that it is proposed to raise the duty on calicoes from 60 to 90 rein per pound weight, and on most other cotton goods in the same priportion, and that the duty on find w,ollerki-15: to be raised eon ider ably ; as for coarse woollens they are completely shut out as it is. The articles the duties on which it is pro posed to reduce are malt liquor, some kinds of hardware, and a few other odds and ends, the total importation of which would not amount to 5,0001 a year, were they even admitted free.

" CROMWELL—What then is the great root of all our grievanceS? " PYM—The Aristocracy! Give us their true history, and you un riddle the secret of every national embarrassment!" London : Chapman Brothers, 121. Newgare-street. Company. A Committee of Shareholders ' in - the London and York Railway has been formed, with the view of considering the prospects of this line, and whether anything can be done to lessen the responsibility of the Shareholders, er in any way improve their position. The Committee view with alarm the daily depreciatinn which is taking place in the market in the shares of all new lines, and that this depreciation increases in the shares of those Companies which are most likely to obtain Bills. The expensive contest in Parliament of the London and York Corn- Pany must absorb all the deposits. If the Act be obtained, calls must immediately follow ; and the majority of the scripholdel s will avoid registrati ii, knowing that they will have opportunities hereafter of coming into the undertaking at a much lower price. The calls must, therefore, he enforced against those who have signed the Parlia mentary Contract. This fe irful position of matters has Induced tne Committee to con sider that probably the Eastern Counties Company, who are thestrong ePponents of the London and York Company, may, for the sake of protect on and certainty to their own shareholders, be still open to some liberal compromise, and that the London and York directors and shareholders ought, either by diminishing the extent of their undertaking (and consequently lessening the amount of calls to re lieve the pressure which will come sit their subscribers), or by some apsorption in the Eastern Counties Company, obtain a participation in an undertaking yielding a present profit, instead of one whose re turn, if ever ob.ained, will not be arrived at without years of painful sacrifices and distre-s. • With these views, the Committee think steps ought to be immedi ately taken to open a negotiation with the Eastern Counties, if not to dissolve the London and York Company. In the opinion of the Committee, either the line south of Peter borough ought to be abandoned, and the shares reduced to 201. etch, er the line sh -tad be given up to the E astern Counties Company, on their agreeing to pay the whole or a portion of the expenses, and giving shares in their Line 114 originally proposed. The statement below, showing the • past and present position of several well-supported C , nmanies who, before the Committee of the House of Commons, clearly showed a return on their capital from 6 to 8 per cent., proves that success on the part of the London and York Railway, in obtaining their Bill, will entail ruinous loss on the subscribers and scripholders ; arid if any other argument was needed to maintain the views of the Committee, the following extra .t trom the " Times" of the Bth of April, might alone be deemed sufficient : " The character of the crisis, and its effects on the new linos, are traphically illustrated in the catastrophe of the Landon and Oxford Railway, as reported in yesterday's paper: " 'Mr. I. K. Brunei, examined by the Chairman.—The prices have No increased since the Acts were obtained, that the lines mentioned above (the Oxford and Worcester, and the Oxford and Rugby) can not be constructed at the estimated prices.

Young, Secretary of the Health and Lite Association, in tends proposing the organization of a National Association for the Total Abolition of Capital Punishment, at the forth coming General Conference, which is to be held in Liver pool on the sth of May. The plan of this proposition will also embrace a system of education, as a means of Promoting temperance, health, and mura.ity,• and thereby preventing crime and disease amongst the lower orders of society. This, therefore, is an excellent opportunity for the friends of humanity, in all parts of the country, to unite their individual influence in one grand effort, to extirpate one of the most heartless and degrading customs of the pre sent day. We most earnestly hope to see this laudable scheme meet with that support and approbation which it se justly deserves. . . NATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSUR ANCE SOCIETY, 26, CORNHILL, LONDON.

" We arrived here (Valparaiso) on Mondry.; morn ing, the 29th of December, from Bolabola (one of the Society Islands, long. 151 43 W., lat. 16 18 S.), .which we left on the 25th of November.

Our :ship is allowed to be the • clipper' of the station, halting sailed with every Teasel of the squadron, but been b,-aten by none. She is a very good sea boat in bad weather. We carried away our mainyard in a squall, but, re paired it at Valparaiso in July. At Callao we wade every preparation for action, in consequence of the. French President not coining to terms eith the Admiral with regard to the money due to our Government ; buti it was settled without a shot, the Admiral having given them a longer time to decide. At Otehyee everything is quiet. The Admiral visited the Binning Mountains and returned in three da) a. We did not anchor at Utah, ite, but 'cruised about for sixteen days, chile the Admiral went .ihto• harbour in the Moeeste, 18, she having accompanied us from Callao, with Mr. hit chard on -board,' bound to the Navigator Hands, as consul, I believe. -At Oahu everything - is quiet, and seems in a thriving . condition. King Kahamehameha 111. visited our ship, and was highly delighted with her, never • having - seen so largo a ves sel before. By the way, this island (Oahu) is limier the English protectorate flag. At Catharine 'island there are about twenty male and female natives comfortahlY settled, having It-ft. Oral eite in consequence of the disturbances. At. o:ahete the natives are en camped inland, end will not come to terms with the French; in fact, if they happen to eitch a Frenchman out of their bounds, they put him immediab ly to death. Our admiral gave the ship's company lil:erty to go ashore at ()mitt-lie in the day time, but ordered them on board by sunset. The French are very strict, and are building batteries and storehouses fast. They have given Queen Pomare three months to decide whether she will accept the French protection and return to Ota heite (which she positively refuses at present), when, if their offer be not in the interim compled with, they in tend to take her by foree; but that, I conceive, they will find some diffieulty in doing. The admiral has con demned the Basilisk ketch, and sold her hull, rigging, &c., keeping the arms and ammunition on board of us. At Huaheine the French p:anted their protectorate flag, but the natives immediately hauled it down and tore it into ribbands. Queen Pomare and family are at lilietea, quite well; but she has recently lost one child, and I am given to understand the Salamader steam-sloop will take it to Otaheite to have it interred in the family grave. The French have- been per seading, and offering presents to the Queen, which .she refuses. At Bolab - la the French have blockaded Elegant pocket edition, price l a., by post Is. 6d. D R.

DUBLIN, APRIL 14. —Reports, as usual, highly coloured, were current all day to the effect that the country people, driven to desperation by hunger. had assembled in dirge masses in the neighbourhood of Clon mel. that several flour mills had been taken by storm, and their conter:ts carried off, that the military, dragoons and artillery, had been called out, and that a serious col lision between soldiers and result. Part, and very small part, of all these alarming peasantry had been the final reports appear to be found& din fact. The affair is thus noticed in the Peat of this evening : " A correspondent in Clontuel, whose letter is dated yesterday afternoon, writes to say that the greatest ex citement prevails in that town, owing to an attack made by the peasantry on some carts laden with provisions, and under an escort of military. Two troops of dra goons and a party of artillery that arrived from Cahir yesterday morning, were dispstehed to Marlfield mills and distillery, upon which an attempt at plunder had been made. Happily no lives have been lost, as the militiry succeeded in driving back the people without firing on them." Tt.e Evening Freeman has an account which substan tially agrees with the foregoing. It is as adios% s:-- " Letters have reached town to-day announcing that there was an outbreak of the people at Cloinntl, the county town of south Tipperary, yesterday.

LATE ACCIDENT ON THE BRAN DLING JUNCTI ON R AI LWAY.—SOUTIf SHIELD . , A PRIL. 14.—Sarah Ripon, one of the unfortunate wo men who hotrecitived such extensive in juries by the recent accident on , _ll , e 13randling Junction Rail way, died shortly a f ter four .. %click this morning. Her in juries were principally la e c.a s 11 the head, chest, and arms. The deceased was a native of Alston, in Cumberland, and she had been on a visit to her _sister, Mrs. S wa l we ll , whose husband had left the h o use hut a fe w m i nutes before the accident, to attend a Sunday :school. The deceased was sit ting near the fire, and iki r g Swaiwell was at the table, when a rumbling noise was b e ard, and th e one said to the other, " What could it be?" moment after th e engine de- scended through the root. The coroner's inquest on the body was commenced to- day, and adjourned till Thursday. inland, but our Admiral persuaded them to return, and left, orders that they are not to be molested by the French until he received despatch( s from England. I think the French are going rather too far. The natives visited our ship, and were dancing the r war dances the whole of the afternoon ; they seemed quite grateful to the Admiral for restoring them to their homes. They detesta French man. Our Admiral went to church with Queen Pomare, and distributed presents, to her people ; gave her some provisions, and told her to wait calmly until he came again. She puts great dependence on England for pro tection. While off Otaheite, we found that our mizen mast was rotten ; we have got it out, and the carpenters are at work about it (being a ' built' mast it can be re paired), and we are refitting with all pmsible dispatch, and expect to sail in about a monti for Callao, to meet the fleet, where I expect he (Admiral Seymour) will come to terms with the President one way or the other. After that I think we shall go to leeward again, to settle about Bolabola, and the adjacent islands. The Herald and Pandora are gone to leeward surveying. The Spy is at Valparaiso, but expects to take the s►a:ion of the Basilisk at Oahu. The Salainan&r is at Bolabola. The Admiral and family are all well.

LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE NORTH-EASTERN RAILWAY, FROM SKIP TON TO YORK. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Stu,—Knowing so well that you are at all times most .anxious to correct any error that may appear in your columns, I beg to call your attention to th e notice [:. various railway and other companies which appeared in your paper on Monday last, and vs hich you style "Bubble and Quixotic." In this list, lam surprised to find the name of the above company. Now, Sir, as a considerable original sharcholdi r (not scripholder), I consider that you were not justified in so classifying this company, and for this reason, that the directors of the company (with one or two exceptions) are gentlemen intimately connuctid with the district, and possessed of large landed estates ; and that the inhabitants of the district are most anxious that the railway should be made, and as a proof that this scheme is neither a bubble or a Quixotic one, I may state that the greater p. , rtion • of this line was propcsed to be made by two distinct and independent, existing companies in connexion with their own lines, viz., the Leeds and Bradford Extension Hail Nay Company, and the Leeds and Thirst( Railway Company, and that they each wilt the necessary steps to apply to Parliament, but they withdrew their scheme in favour of this company, as I understand, becau,e they considered that the directors of the North Eastern Com pany, having such strong local interest, were the best fitted to carry out the proj2ct which I have every reason to believe will be one of the best before Parliament— at least that is my-opinion. I shall feel obliged by ycur inserting this in your paper. —I am, Sir, your most obedient servant. Manchester, Ap r il 15 , 1846. A SHAREHOLDER. [The notice was copied from a morning paper.—ED.

The watermen lost no time in accepting the chal lenge, and picked out four of their best men, who were i:eter mined not to throw a chance away, and went into regular training. The race was fixed for (his day, and excited con siderable interest, both on account of the boldness of the challenge and the notoriety of the crews. It being holiday Wt ek au immense number of persons were present to witness She match, which took pla e on the Joh: after four o'clock. The distance rowed was from Iffley to the usual flag-post. The Staff crew won the choice of sides. which was a material pont in their favour. Both crews started off well, and kept well together for the Long Bridge, when the watermen shot ahead, and maintained it to the end if the race, winning it by abou.'• three boats length. The watermen consisted of— Penn (strolie), R Barnes, G. Surredge, and G. West (bow), Tims (coxswitin). The Staff—Franklin (stroke), Howse Taylor, Clark (bow), Sturman (coxswain). ODD FELLOWS ANNIVERSARY AT WINDSOR.— WINDSOR, WZDNELSDAY.—The first anniversary of the Loyal Windsor Castle Lock',e of Odd Fellows was celebrateit yester day, by a sumptuotig dinner, at the New Inn at which Colonel Reid, M.P. for the borough, Captain litakelev, of the Ist Royal Horse Guards, C. S. Voulee, Esq., Geo - ffrey Pearl, Esq., and upwards o f forty of the brethren of the order '.ere present. The chair was taken by John Clode, jun., Esq. 'When the cloth was removed the usual loyal and patriotic toasts were drunk; the " Health of her - Majesty the Queen Dowager," who had become the patroness of the Widows and Orphans' Fund of thse institution, being drunk with "all the honours." On Cehinel Reid's health being drunk, the Gallant Member, in returning thanks, expressed the delight lie should always feel to support, by his pre:ence, and by every means in his power, so excellent and praise worthy an institution as the Odd Fellows' Society—a s,ciety which wss founded upon the purest principles _of charity, benevolence, and goodwill to all. Ot its merits he could speak from his own personal observation with reference to the excellent conduct of those men, who were members, in the 2d regiment of Life Guards, during the long period he had the honour of being in command. ESCAPE AND RECAPTURE OF A NOTORIOUS ROM:- BREAKER.—Hunt, the person captured, is well known as the man who was suspect , d of robbing the residence of Mts. Dowson, in the neighbourhood of Bungay. He has also been, according to his own admission when he appeared at our late Quarter Sessions as a witness, brought up either seventeen or eighteen tirnes in custody, on suspicion, or under conviction. Reis generally lucky. enough to " slip through their fingers;' as he terms it, and last week he did so not only figurately, but literally. He was apprehended by Sergeant Willament, of the Yarmouth' force, on a charge of stealing some fowls from a hen-roost .at Ellingham, near Bungay . He was de tained here in custody until the county police took hins in charge ; just as Superintendant Hubbersty and an assistant police-officer were about entering Norwich Castle, Hunt very good-humouredly bade them good night, and having knocked the officer down, and very seriously injured him in the back and head, ran away at a very rapid rate. He was handcuffed, but being a very powerful and muscular fellow, be contrived either to break his chain or to slip one of his hands through. He has been recaptured at Effingham, the scene of the rob bery for which he was in custody. In thus returning to his old haunts he did not show much worldly wisdom ; he has, however, been caught, and will doubtless find that he has played a very hazardous game once too often.—Yarmouth Ch, onicle. SCRIPROLDERS' MEETING AV NEWCASTLE-UPON TYNE.—A meeting.of the holders of scrip certificates in the new railway companies, convened by the Newcastle Stock Exchange, was held in the Queen's Head Inn, Newcastle upon-Tvrie, on Tuesday afternoon • Mr. Henry Glynn in the chair. - Since the advertisement calling the meeting had been issued, the views of the Government with regard to the dis solution of certain companies had been published ; the busi ness was, therefore, confined to the adoption of the following resolution, on the motion of Mr. J. Scott, seconded by Mr. I'. Hall :—" That it is the opinion of this meeting, that the measure contemplated by her Majesty's Ministers with re ference to the projected railways, is entitled to their un qualified support; that they also cordially approve of the notice of motion which has been given by George Hudson, Esq., to compel every new company, after obtaining an Act, to call a meeting of the registered proprietors of shares, to determine whether the works shall be proceeded with or not; some such measure being absolutely necessary for the pur pose of protecting registered shareholders; and that a peti tion, embodying these views, be prepared, and presented to Parliament:" THE YACIIT ROM ELUS.—This handsome cutter, of thirty-two tons, late the property of Lord Wharncliffe, de ceased, has been purchased by IL Kennard, Esq., a member f the Royal Harwich Yacht Club.

The consequence was that the gun-snuth got possession of the powder, and we believe no further notice has been taken of the matter. We think the public are entitled to demand a strict inquiry into these facts; for, great as is the danger of shipping gunpowder openly, it must be much enhanced where no precautions can be taken, from ignorance of its being on board.—Cork Reporter. SUICIDE OF TWO GIRLS.—A coroner's inquest was held on Thursday last, and another on the following Satur day, on the bodies of two young females found drowned in the canal, near to Leamington, one of whom had been miss ing for nearly three w , aks, and the other from the day only preceding that on which her remains were discovered. The latter, named Emma Lewis, daughter of a sawyer in Grove place, was in her sixteenth year, and from the evidence pro duced appeared to have committed the rash act in a state of despondency, from the harsh treatment she experienced in service under a superior demestic, who was severely repri - manded by the Coroner for her unteeling behaviour. The f or mer unfortunate girl, named Davis, was not quite fifteen y ears of age, and had lived unhappily with h e r relatives, ho were in a respectable sphere of life, and whom she had suddenly quitted, with an intimation, left in writing, that,she would be' no more when the same came to their bands. 11 , e strictest search having been ineffectually made, hope w ere for a long time entertained that her intention had not 1.. . • carried into effect, and advertisements, with offers of re ward newspapers. for her restoration, appeared in sever al ofrettl u 'e rned in each Verdicts of " Temporary insanity (lirneday) the body of case by the jury.

The shock was so great that it precipitated Mrs. Hayson, with her child underneath the waggon, when one of the wheels passed over one of the mother's legs, crushing it in a dreadful manner, while another passed over the child, an infant about four months old. and killed it on the spot. Mrs. Hayson was immediately removed to the nearest,. hospital in a state of great bodily and mental suffering. REMARILLIILE INCIDENT ON THE CROYDON ATM' J s.. PHEDIC RAILWAY.—On Mondry last a singular occurrence transpired on the above line of railway. During one of those pelting showers which have lately been so prevakent, the are c o em line in n. labourers employed on the works have had on cer t a i n parts greatly e i h 8 on t he them of the line no seeker, consequently they have b een f requently adrree theira c b h o eudltantbo.wituehr. t welve inches i , c w lsle l i i • c e i l l a i l kdhniasazn tetrh a i con structed with a groove or alit at the andt t n h c et o h n ta v utb e n et 1 a eo D y . top, which aperture is cemented by tallow and wax to render the valve air-tight. Shortly after the down train had passed 0 4 station near the Dartmouth Arms, one of the labourers. w as non est invents& The rain was descending in torrents, and the other men supposed that their companizei had left the line for shelter. After the cessation of the rain, however, as he did not make his appearance, the circumstance created some surprise, but the workmen continued their labour until they were interrupted by faint cries, which seemed to pro , cetd from one of the atmospheric tubes lying en the aide of the rails. On approaching the tube from which tie sounds emanated, great was the astonishment of the men on per ceiving the extremities of a man protruding from the aper ture of the metal, at the same time hearing moans and cries for help. It appeared that the shower had induced the man to enter this most extraordinary shelter, and having suc ceeded in squeezing himself in with difficulty, lie was unable to withdraw himself from the p i p e, and h ence his cries, far assistance. The men tugge d and pulled with all their alight for some time, w hen at length the man was drawn forth completely senseless and dripping with the melted tallow. heat o f his body and respiratory organs had' e ff ected 1 l his' The a delie erance, when almost suffocated and completely satu rated with grease. Had he been left much longer, life would, have been extinct. The man is exceedingly attenuated, therefore lie succeeded in entering this novel kind of shelter from the weather. CHILD MURDER.—Monday Mr. Wakley, M.P ~ held . ,an inquest at the C as tl e I nn, N otting-hill, on the body . of a. newly-born female child, which was found on the afternoon of Thursday last, in a pond, near the Prince of Wales, public house, tied up in a bundle. Mr. Barnes, surgeon, of Notting ; hill, stated at the inquest that the deceased had been born , alive, and pr o b a bl y li ve d a b out four or fi ve hours. There, I were no marks of external violence on the body to accoutie for death, neither had he, from the internal exalt:duals*, been able to find any cause for death. The Coroner said there were many modes of causing death in an infant, without any external marks being visible, and the jury re turned a verdict of " Wilful murder against some person or persons unknown." BrrrEn ALE.—I do not know whether the following is the recipe for Bass's pale ale or not, but it is quite as good,. To make 100 gallons, use nine bushels of malt, or ten it strength is desired, 23 to 271bs. Kentish hops, according to the requ ire d degree of bitterness, three pounds of camomile flowers, stewed in a jar and strained. Put the camomile flowers and the hops in at the same time.
