FRENCH ACADEMY OF SCIENCES. SITTING OF AUGUST 31. A communication was made respecting an extraordi nary improvement in the boring of artesian wells. by M. Fauvelle. The process has hitherto been one of great time, and consequently of great expense, for it was necessary, after boring for a few inches, to draw up the instrument, in order to clear away the earth, stones, &c., through which it had pierced. By M. Fauvelle's pro eess the boring is never interrupted, for the instrument clears itself, and continues its course of perforation. This is effected by an injection of water through a hol low tube, so contrived as to cause a powerful rush under the borer, and clear away the accumulated contents by driving them to the surface. The injection is produce) by a force pump, worked simultaneously with the instrument of perforation. Our readers must conceive at once that the labour of boring is greatly accelerated by this process, for not only is it unnecessary to discon nect the borer from time to time, in order to clear it, but the cutting point is kept continually free. The account given of the success of this new invention would be regarded as fabulous, if it were not well authenticated. We are assured that, at Perpignan, M. Fauvelle bored, in the presence of M. Arago, to a depth of 170 metres, for an artesian well, in the short space of 15 days; whereas workmen have been engaged in the same town in making an artesian well of the same depth for a period of 11 months, and their labours have not yet been com pleted. This is certainly one of the most valuable dis coveries of the present age, for it will enable priva'e persons to make artesian wells at even a smaller expense than common wells, and to go to such a depth as to obtain pure water for domestic purposes. We hope to see the ex periment repeated in Paris, and that too upon an extensive scale. There were several papers on astronomy commu nicated to the Academy at this sitting. One was from M. de Gasparis, containing two equations on the orbits of comets and planets; another was from M. Leverrier, on the probable situation of the planet which produces such anomalies in the motions of Uranus; and another from M. Faye, producing new means of observation every ten years, in order to arrive with more certainty at the relative positions of the celestial bodies. Notice was given by the Government of an intended expedition by Lieutenant Tardy de Montravel, to the Amazon river, and its branches, with the steamer Alecton and the Astrolabe corvette, and inviting this learned and scientific body to prepare a programa with a view to facilitate the researches which M. de Montravel is charged to make. A paper was received from M. Daubre?, on the subject of the gold..that is found in the bed of the Rhine. This gentleman had already ex pressed an opinion that the gold came originally from the crystalline scoistous rocks of the Alps, and now communicates a series of experiments to prove that his conjecture was right. Some time ago an interesting paper was received from M. Rossell, on the diseases caused by the phosphoric vapours of manufactories of phosphorus and chemical matches. M. Dupassier, in a communication which was this day read to the Academy, doubts the correctness of the facts stated by M. Rous sel, but he deals rather with hypotheses than with po sitive facts, in opposition to the statement of M. Rossel. Several communications were received from the de partments of the Loiret, Calvados, Seine- et Oise, &c., announcing that the disease which attacked the potatoes last year has again manifested itself, although to a more limited extent. Some of the members of the Academy expressed a wish that experiments should be made as to the means of exchanging the nature of the soil in which potatoes are grown, so as to remove the origin of the dis ease. We do not know how this is to be effected, and think that if there had been any prospect of eradicating the disease by changing the nature of the soil, the attempt would have been made this year by one at least of the philanthropic gentlemen farmers who are so numerous in England. As we see, however, by a letter in a London journal, that the truly illustrious chief of the French nation is about to convert a large portion of one of his estates in Normandy into a model farm, we would take the liberty of recommending to him a series of experi ments on this truly important subject, as regards the welfare of the human race. The French owe much to Parmentier for the introduction of the potato as a ge neral article of food in France ; but still more will they be indebted to their Sovereign, if he will turn his atten tion to the means of checking a malady, which threatens to deprive millions of a cheap and wholesome food. STAGE COSTUME. John Retnble is supposed to be the first actor who rescued the stage from the monotony of uniformity of costume. That celebrated tragedian did much to reform the bad taste which prevailed in dressing dramatic cha racters; but the great revolution in stage costume was commenced by a celebrated French actress, Mdlle. Clairon. The particulars of that event arc not generally known. The first representation of Voltaires's Orphe lin de la Chine was in the month of August, 17,65. A mania for Chinese silks, articles of furniture; and Asiatic productions, had made the costumes of the Celestial Empire so popular, that it seemed almost impossible to appear on the stage as Mandarins, dressed in French costume. Joseph Vernet had made an exhibition of a great variety of foreign costumes which he had painted at the ports of Marseilles and Toulon. These were much admired. The friends of Voltaire, who then lived in Geneva, engaged that painter to design for the new tragedy, costumes which at least might prevent the French from laughing at the absurdity of T!arisian dresses. Ver- • net complied with the demand, and Mademoiselle Clairon, who played the part of 'dunk appeared for the first time with some alteration of the old costume. The stage presented a superb palace of the Corinthian order, capitals crowned with Acanthus leaves, and Mandarins in Chinese dresses. The attempt, however, was not perfect ; but another experiment made the next year, was decisive. Mademoiselle Clairon was engaged for several representations at Marseilles, at the time Marshal Richelieu landed, covered with laurels from Mahon. On the day the conqueror went to the theatre she stood on the staircase and complimented him, in the costume of Alzire, viz., a fine silk robe, with a sun on her bosom worked in gold, and a small circular basket filled with jonquils. The next night she played Zaire in a dress perfectly ridiculous, and was stabbed under a French canopy. Her embar rassment under an enormous court dress of gold and silver stuff, made every one laugh. The same night she supped, according to custom, with the Duke de Villars, Governor of the province. She was placed at table by the side of a Greek lady, whom M. Guys, a rich mer chant (the author of " Travels in Italy and Greece"), had married in Constantinople. After bestowing the praises which were merited, the lady expressed her re gret that she had not chosen for the part of Zaire one of the Greek dresses which the lady had brought from her country. The actress was struck by the idea ; and, as she had to play the part a second dye, Madame Guys not only sent her one of her Constanti nople dresses, but assisted in dressing her. The pub lic applauded this novelty with transport, and Madame Guys took the occasion to present Mademoiselle Clai ron a complete Oriental suit, of which a magnificent pelisse made part. On her return to Paris, Made moiselle Clairon in every instance wore an appropriate dress ; and the good sense which marked her conduct produced a reform which became general among the performers of both sexes. Powder, masks, court dresses, and a thousand ridiculous things used on the stage, were banished from tragic costume ; in short, the heroines of Greece and Rome, the Queens of Carthage and Babylon, the s avages o f Peru and Scandinavia, ceased to be mixed up with things in the Alnianach des Modes. Posterity will long remember the services Mdlle. Clairon rendered to the theatrical art by the abolition of fancy costume, which confounded in one common masquerade persons of all times and all countries. We no longer see in such pieces as Cinna or Andromaque actors clad as courtiers of Louis XIV., or actresses dressed as mistresses of Louis XV. We have experienced another week of the most splendid weather, which has proved alike beneficial to the latter harvest, and to the operations going on in the hop plantations, the picking, which has become general, having been pursued in this, and the adjoining county of Kent, without interruption, no rain having fallen to impede the progress of the many thousands of persons, men, women, and children, employed in the various hop gardens. During the week past, considerable quantities of hops were forwarded from the eastern part of this county by the Hastings_ Railway, via Lewes, for the London market, and we make no doubt, as the season advances, the growers will avail themselves to a greater exti,nt of this desirable and rapid mode of transit for their hops to the metropolitan factors.—Sussex Advertiser A Brussels letter of the sth inst. states that Don Henry, who has for some time been living incognito at Ostend, under the title of Count d'Ares of Madrid, has just proceeded to Ghent, accompanied by his aide-de camp, M. Calvet. A RAILWAY SMOKING SALOON.—Within the last few days a novelty has been introduced on the Eastern Counties Railway in the running of a very handsome carriage, termed a smoking or excursion saloon, which, from its elegant and peculiar construction, has excited much interest. In size and form of build it much re sembles the royal carriages on the Great Western, South- Western, and other rilways. The peculiarity of a por tion of the Cambridge and Newmarket traffic suggested to the company the formation of such a description of carriage, and which certainly reflects great credit on the skill of its manufacturer. Its extreme length is 40 feet, the body about 30 feet, the ends being converted into a kind of open louuge. It runs on six wheels, which are fitted with Adams's patent bow springs. The internal decorations are of the most recherche description. The seats extend the full length of the sides, and are handsomely covered with morocco leather. A highly polished mahogany 'table occupies the centre, the entire fitted with self-balancing lamps. The sides are lighted by eight plate glass windows of unusual size, while the ends are fitted up with four plates of looking-glass. Its drapery is com posed of bright crimson silk, formed in very grace ful design. The roof presents an exceedingly chaste appearance. The ground-work is painted white, the ' mouldings being gilt, The general furniture is of richly carved polished mahogany. The exterior is painted a deep marone colour, ornamented with gold etchings, and emblaz )ned with the company's ciphers. It was manu factured by Mr. Adams, the cJnapany's carriage bulkier, at Fairfield Works, Bow. It was launched on Friday last, when Mr. - Hudson, M.P., and a large party of tLe directors and friends, proceeded in it to Ipswich to a grand entertainment at the seat of Mr. Bagshawe, the late Member for Ipswich. Its easy movement was a sub ject of much praise. Several others on the same style are in a forward state for the company. They will be attached to all the fast trains to and from Cambridge, passengers using them paying first-class fare. The com pany are having first class excursionist carriages ma de of extraordinary length, similar to those employed on the foreign lines, capable of holding 13 0 passengers each. will first be used on the North Woolwich li ne , , "41 rapidly approaching completion. en. _ Yf`,, ~ ~ 1 .1, ci - -t - ryd,.

ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.—We cannot consider it very creditable to the enterprise of Liverpool and Manchester, that those towns do not possess the advantage of a tele graphic communication, either with each other or with London. In the United States, places of much less com mercial and manufacturing importance than either of them have had this advantage for a considerable time, and there is no doubt that there will before long be an uninterrupted line of telegraphic communication from New Orleans to Buffalo—from the mouth of the Missis sippi to the shores of the St. Lawrence. In this country the electric telegraph has existed for some time on the Great Western and South-Western Railways and more recently it has been introduced on the Midland line. How is it that the directors of the London and North- Western line—the originators of railway enterprise in England—are behind the rival lines in this respect? or that two great corn m uni ties like Manchester and Liverpool have not pointed out and urged the advantages of tele graphic communication in such a manner as to insure its adoption? We trust that the subject will be taken up without further delay, and that before long London, Liverpool, and Manchester, three of the most important cities in the world, will possess at least the facilities of communicating with each other which is possessed by places immeasurably inferior to them in importance.— Liverpool Times. FURNESS LINE.—It is now pretty generally known that the above railway is open to the public, and that a steamer plies, twice a-day, betwixt Fleetwood and Piel Harbour. During the last week fifteen hundred pas sengers arrived at Piel Harbour by the steamer from Fleetwood, the greater part of whom travelled upon the railway. Previous to the opening of this communica tion, this part of the country—Rampside, &c.—was little known; and we may safely state that a greater number will have trod this isolated ground in one fort night than has done since our earth was visited with the deluge. On Sunday last five hundred persons visited Furness Abbey ruins, more than two hundred of whom lunched or dined at the Abbey with Mr. Parker, of the Sun inn, Ulverston, who has taken the refreshment rooms at the railway station at Furness Abbey.—Kendal Mercury. CROSSING THE CLYDE.—At the last meeting of the town council of Glasgow, in reference to the motion to memoralise Government to appoint a royal commission to inquire into the best mode for crossing the Clyde by a railway bridge, and which was under discussion when the council adjourned last week, Mr. Bryson wished to know if it was true that a royal commission had been already issued for the purpose of disposing of this question of crossinz the Clyde. If any gentleman could inform that this commission had been really issued, it would be useless to take up the time of the council in discussing a subject which had already been disposed of. The Lord Dean of Guild, Leadbetter, was about to communicate the information on this subject, which he had received since last meeting of council. The memorial on this subject, agreed to at the recent public meeting, had been presented to Lord John Rus sell, and the interview which the deputation had with his Lordship was of such a nature as to give a perfect conviction that this subject would bo taken up ant set tled ; but as there was now a new railway board, to which had been transferred all the powers of the Board of Trade, the memorials which were sent up from Glas gow on the subject of a railway crossing the Clyde had been remitted to that new board, to be attended to by them. He had the satisfaction to have received an ac knowledgment from Lord John Russell's secretary to the same effect, in reply to the memorial of the Mer chants' House on this subject. In these circumstances, he thought it unnecessary to persist in the motion which he had submitted to the council last week, as the public discussion had served all the purpose. Mr. Leadbetter read the reply to the Merchants' House, which stated that the memorial would be referred to the newly-ap pointed Railway Board for their immediate considera tion. He continued, " I know from information I have obtained that the opinion of Lord John Russell is, that the question is of such importance that it, should be settled by an independent tribunal. My opinion is, that when the subject is referred to that board, they will put themselves in communication with the authorities here." Mr. Bryson—" I wish it then to he distinctly understood from the Lord Dean of Guild that no royal commission has been appointed." Baillie Whitehead then gave notice for next meeting of council, that they should memorialise the Government to the effect that, whatever commission is appointed, they shall not consider the question open as to crossing the river below Stockwell-bridge. RAILWAY TRAVELLING IN AMERICA. It is the greatest country in the world for railways and rivers. China is celebrated for its canals, but this country must be allowed the pre-eminence over all in railway and river accommodation. Every state in this Union being sovereign as respects all internal measures and interests, such undertakings as railways, canals, manufactories, and the deepening of rivers, form the chief business of their legislativeve liberations. There are now thirty of those states in the Gracd Union, each having its own Parliament and Parliamentary ma chinery. The expense of getting Bills through these legislatures seldom exceeds a few hundred dollars each, and sometimes not more than one hundred dollars (201.); whereas the expense of a Railway Bill in the English anti-Irish Parliament invariably amounts to about one eighth of the entire cost of the undertaking. The Ame ricans are very economical in making their railways. They do not delight in magnificent depots or entrances, and they never lay more than one track. The opposite trains set out at opposite ends of the track in such hours as enablts them to meet at an arranged point on the , road, where their a collateral lie-by, and the first-arrived train turns into this deviation until the other comes up, when, after the engineers supply themselves with fuel and water, and the passengers take some refreshment, both trains proceed on their respective routes. The in terior of their railway carriage is different from yours. The American carriage is a long omnibus-built apart ment, capable of holding fifty persons; it is fitted up with a series of well-cushioned seats; each seat holds two per sons; and right through the centre of them is an open passage for the egress and ingress of all who wish to move. While the train is in full motion, at twenty miles an hour, the collector or conductor walks all through his long train of carriages,:surveying his passengers, col lecting their tickets, &e. The company generally con sist of one-half ladies, who have in these railway con veyances no exclusive seats or rooms. They are perfect heroines in travel. An American lady, married or un married, will pass, unaccompanied, 300 miles in the rail way cars or steam-boats; in this they are perfectly safe from the slightest molestation; the most respectful bear ing is manifested towards them by the other sex. The fact I state is no small compliment to the good manners that prevail in American society. The Americans are passionately fond of travelling. Those who can afford it go off from their own homes on a tour for two or three weeks, during which time they will pass through several states, make visits to their friends scattered through se veral cities, and then to return home to resume again their laborious occupations. Even the factory girls dress up and take a trip to Niagara Falls, or Saratoga Springs, or some other summer rendezvous, and spend the pro duce of a couple of months labour ere they return. The mass of the people here are the spending classes, and .they spend their money generously—aye, and elegantly too—among themselves. It would vex a lady aristocrat of England, even though she were a saint and read her Bible, to see these factory girls and plebian farmers' daughters " cutting shines" at the summer watering places. It would make the teeth of an Irish " absentee" water to see these " low" people banquet, and feast, and mix in the merry waltz, without the slightest fear of that animal so peculiar to Ireland, a " landlord." The peo ple here understand the "Poetry of Pig" right well, and they keep their muskets and rifles well oiled, and their powder very dry—a custom always observed by those who are in the enjoyment of liberty; when they labour they know it is for themselves, and they scruple not to enjoy a little of the pleasure of life as they pass on from the cradle to the grave.

CHEERING NEWS FOR THE NARROW GAUCE....." We learn," says the Builder, " from what may be consi dered competent authority, that a new narrow gauge engine, far superior to the present narrow gauge loco motive in speed and power, has just been completed. It is stated to be equal to an average speed of 60 miles per hour with a train of twelve carriages, of about sixty six tons. THE HOPS IN KENT. - - - - MAIDSTONE.—The hops have been doing well during the last week. They are now coming fast to perfection. Many planters began picking too early. They are now beginning to weigh well, and will be better still in a few days, the weather very favourable for them. They fully meet the expectation of the planters in quantity, but the weight generally disappoints them. GOUDHURST.—We are progressing very fast with our picking, and according to the number of bushels the general complaint is that of their weighing very light, but the samples are fine and the quality good. IZOLVENDEN.—Picking is rapidly progressing, and though there is some complaint respecting the weight, we hope not to be disappointed in our previous estimate. BRENCHLEY.—TLose planters who have begun picking are much disappointed in weight, while others give time for their hops to mature, and have not yet begun. In general it requires from 120 to 150 bushels to the pocket of 1 cwt. 2 qrs. SEAL AND IGHTHAM.—Picking partially commenced last week in this neighbourhood, and was quite general yesterday. Where they have began, there is a great complaint of the hops weighing badly, requiring from 90 to 100 bushels to the cwt., and it can on ly b e a tt r ib ute d to their being such an extraordinary size. CRANBROOK.—There are some few growers in this locality complain rather of the hops being light, but we find generally they realize expectations. TUNBRIDGE.—Hop picking has commenced in this neighbourhood, and will be general this week. Farmers complain that they come very light to the scale. The improvement during the last seven or eight weeks has been wonderful. In places where it was thought there would be nothing, there are now six and seven cwt. per acre.—Maidstone Gazette of yesterday. HYMENEAL ADVERTISEMENTS. The Manchester Guardian has lately had a number of advertisements from parties panting for partners in the conjugal state—individuals evidently who had tried the usual modes of procuring wives without success, and to whom advertising in the public prints has b e c ome a dernier resort. Some of these advertisements have been remarkable for their coolness, the pennyless speculator insisting that the honour of his hand was not to be purchased at less than a few hundreds a year; while others have exhibited a remarkable degree of modesty, the advertiser gently intimating (in spite, doubtless, of a bald skull, a crooked back, a snub nose, and an oval pair of legs), that he was " rather prepossessing in his ap pearance." If newspaper proprietors could adopt the rule of compelling each party who thus introduces him self to the compassionate attention of the fair sex to permit a faithful portrait of himself to accompany his advertisement, and also to make a deposit of a sufficient sum of money or a sufficient number of title-deeds to guarantee his ability to keep a wife, we warrant the number of these advertising spouse-seekers would be enormously diminished. The following advertisement, which appears in the Guardian of Wednesday last, is a decided improvement upon any we have yet seen. It is so disinterested, so modest, and so argumentative, that it can scarcely fail to bring brides by dozens through the post:— " MATRIMONY.—A gentleman of good education and character, a native of Lancashire, and for some years past resident in Manchester, 35 years of age, and pos sessing an income of upwards of 2001. a year, wishes to meet with a lady about his own age, or a few years younger, suitable for a partner for life. It i s necessary that she should have property producing something like the same amount of income, which, however, would be settled upon herself, with a jointure of 2,0001. or 3,0001. besides. The advertiser is no fortune-hunter, but perfectly independent as a bachelor ; and though de sirous of changing his condition, would prefer remaining as he is to marrying on his own income alone, which is of a permanent though not a rapidly-increasing character. This explanation is sufficient, he thinks, to account for the adoption of this mode of seeking the attainment of his object, preferring a business-like way of proceeding in a pure matter of business, to the more usual course of first paying addresses, in ignorance of, or on mere sun mise of the lady's pecuniary means or prospects, and afterwards coming to the consideration of the business part of the subject—a course liable to serious objections, and frequently ending in disappointment. So far from being mercenary in his views, the advertiser is of a gene rous disposition, and more prone to dispose of money tor public and benevolent purposes than either to hoard or lavish it selfishly. Being of quiet and domestic habits, and fonder of comfort than show, the qualities he would priza in a wife would rather be those which please at home than those which shine abroad; and next to the accomplishments of a good housewife, ho would value that of a tolerable proficiency in music, as most conducive t domestic pleasures. Congeniality, at least, if not complete identity of religious views, he considers essential ; himself holding firmly the doctrines of Protestant evan gelical dissent. Though no bigot, but respecting the conscientious belief of all, he would not unite himself with one entertaining opinions the contrary of these. In personal appearance and manners he hopes he would not be considered repulsive, nor does he look for perfec tion in these respects; but good health and freedom from all taint of hereditary complaint are essential. It is hoped that no one whose eye this advertisement may meet, and to whom it may be fairly applicable, will be deterred from considerations of delicacy or timidity, since a moment's reflection will show that in a majority of cases marriages are contracted with less knowledge of each other's feelings and dispositions than can be ob tained in this way, followed by a personal interview, with a mutual determination to come to a frank expla nation r.nd interchange of opinion. In the lottery of matrimony, a prize may be drawn by this means as well as by the mode sanctioned by custom. The advertiser will satisfy every inquiry as to his character, history, connexions, means, &c., and will require full informa tion on these points in return. Any communication addressed to —, London, will be immediately for warded to the advertiser in Manchester." The adver tiser is uncommonly scrupulous about religious opinions, nearly as much so, indeed, as he is about the pecuniary capabilities of his fair victim. Nevertheless, if a Maho metan, with 4001. a year, and a Christian with 50/. only should apply simultaneously, we have a shrewd guess which beauty the evangelical gentleman would accept.— Liverpool Standard. A SLAVE STORY. A slave girl belonging to the Hon. C. James Faulkner, of Virginia, recently accompanied him and his family to the Bedford Springs, Pennsylvania, where she was of course free. Some of her own colour persuaded her to quit her master and mistress, and escape with them to freedom. (They seem to have supposed that she must run and hide, whereas she was free without this, having been brought into a free state by her master, and could not have been legally held in slavery another moment.) . She went off with her new friends a dozen miles, but her heart misgave her on finding herself entirely among , ' strangers, and with a rather gloomy pro s p ec t b e f ore her. Freedom to a poor, ignorant woman, among entire strangers, and with no probable means of getting a living but the hardest and meanest drudgery, was not the blessed thing Fancy had painted it. She resolved to return to her ever kind master and mis tress, and actually took her way to them on f , ot and alone in the dark, and - arrived at their lodgings about midnight, wayworn ind?ed but right happy to be once more with those who loved and had ever cherished and befriended her. Mr. Fau!kner told her she was welcome to her liberty, and should have money to go where she chose, but she rejected all such proffers, and begged only to be received back into her old station. This is by no means a singular case. Thousands have seen Mr. Clay's black servant Charles, who has ac companied him not only in repeated journeys through portions of the free states, but for hundreds of miles through Canada. Some one spoke to Mr. Clay, at Niagara, of the danger that this servant would desert him to Canada; but he answered that if he chose to do so ho might and welcome, whether on one side of the Niagara or the other. Charles is an intelligent, shrewd man, and we presume he loves liberty ; but he did not find that sort of liberty enjoyed by men of his colour in free states very inviting, and he chose to stay where he was sure of kind treatment and a perpetual home. Yet the abolition papers have recently given columns to the tale of a runaway slave from Ashland, named Lewis Richardson, who complains of great cruelty from Mr. Clay's overseer, in being whipped for disobedience of orders. half a dozen of the neighbours have united with the overseer in refuting these ca lumnies, showing that Lewis had been an exceed ingly vicious and troublesome fellow for years, had been forbidden to set foot on sundry plantations for misconduct, and has grossly exaggerated the whipping he received, and misrepresented the whole affair. It ap pears further that after Lewis had run away a man wrote Mr. Clay from Ohio that he could be apprehended and sent back; but Mr. Clay replied, "By no means; I am very glad to be rid of him." But to return more espe cially to the recent occurrence at Bedford Springs, though these two together best illustrate the thought we would impress on the reader's mind— to wit : that of the entire practicability the perfect facility of emancipation. The mass of the southern people are deceived on this point. They speak and seem to think of emancipation as if it would not only derange but destroy southern cultivation, uproot every thing precious or pleasureable ibout them, and speedily involve the whole country in conflagration, rapi ne , and massacre. But nothing like this would be the case. The actual change any way would be in finitely less than they imagine. Their good servants would remain with them and in good part be servants still, receiving wages indeed, but earn ing them as well, by the exercise of a skill, diligence, and intelligence which a slave forbidden to read and write can never acquire. They would raise cotton as cheap as now, Ind, if nut so much of it, their crop would bring as much in the aggregate as at present. A more diversified, and therefore more profitable industry would soon be exhibit ed. Lands would rise in va l ue everyw h ere,an d a ll t h at t h ey paid for wages and schools would be more than saved in the increased efficiency and experience of their la bourers, and in the diminished cost of whips, police, negro-dogs, man-hunters, &c. The best servants and the best treated would stay where they are, and if the idle and the vicious should in part wander off into the Northern States, the South surely would not be the loser. Why will they not consider these things ? What need of slavery to retain such servants as Mr. Faulkner's? What wisdom or profit in it to retain such as Lewis Richardson 2—New York Tribune. A correspondent writes from Rome, 25th ult., in the Augsburgh Gazette—" Deputations are daily arriving from different parts of the R man states, with addresses of thanks to tho Pope for the amnesty, The Bolognese have addressed a letter to the Romans, thanking them for their sympathy on this occasion. Copies of this letter, finely written on parchment, have been distri buted to the highest members of the clergy, the Roman Princes, and several sarans and artists. Rossini is en gaged to compose the music of a hymn, written by MATChetti, commemoration of the amnesty." Count RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. GLASGOW, PAISLEY, KILMARNOCK, AND AYR—CUMNOCK EXTENSION. KILMARNOCK, MONDAY.—The most exciting event that has taken place in this district of Scotland, in con nexion with railway speculation, came off to-day, at Ballochmyle, about 12 miles distant from this town, in the laying of the foundation-stone of the large viaduct now in the progress of construction over the river Ayr, which is crossed at this point by the Cumnock Extension of the Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock, and Ayr Railway. Before proceeding to describe the ceremony observed on the occasion, it may be interesting to state the dimen sions and character of the work in question, unexampled, as we believe it to be, in the history of railway construc tion. At Ballochmyle—the scene of some of the finest inspirations of Burns, who for some time occupied a farm in the neighbourhood—the river Ayr, here a stream of considerable magnitude, runs through a deep wooded ravine, from which the adjoining banks recede with a considerable slope to the level of the banks on each side of the valley traversed by the line of railway. From bank to bank the distance is three-quarters of a mile, which is partly occupied by a huge embankment, and partly by the viaduct in question. The viaduct is 614 feet in length, and is composed of seven arches. The centre arch, the largest of the kind we believe in the world, is 184 feet in width, and 197 feet from the bed of the river to the parapet wall. The three arches on each side of it are fifty feet in span. The viaduct, as a whole, when completed, will be the greatest work of the kind in the British empire. It is to be built of red sand stone, obtained from the old red sandstone geological formation in the neighbourhood, and the facing of the arches is composed of Dundee white freestone. Alto gether the undertaking will be a proud monument of the scientific skill of the engineer of the line, Mr. Miller. The cost of the structure will be 100,0001., and to fur nish an idea of the preliminary expense, we may state that 60,000 feet of Baltic timber is employed in the machinery and arrangements necessary for the con struction of the arches. It having been announced for some time past that the foundation-stone would be laid with masonic honours, and that the occasion would be observed as a holiday, a very great turnout of people from all the surrounding towns and villages took place. The principal masonic lodges in the west of Scotland, headed by the mother lodge of Kilwinning, were in at tendance. Special trains from Glasgow and Ayr brought the directors of the company, accompanied by a large concourse of friends, to Kilmarnock, where coaches and omnibuses were in waiting to convey the parties to the scene of action. The leading gentlemen, also, belonging to the Glasgow and Edinburgh Company, were present. On arriving at Mauckline, a short distance from Balloch myle, the procession was formed, which extended about a mile, and at one o'clock the whole body proceeded in regular order to the ground, headed by the grand lodge and the leading gentlemen interested in the undertaking, accompanied by several bands of music. On arriving on the ground the ceremony usually observed on such occa sions was gone through, terminating with a royal salute. Captain FULLARTON, the grand master of the lodge, then addressed the assembly in a neat and appropriate speech. He said it was a bright and auspicious day for the west of Scotland, as he considered the line of which this magnificent structure was a part, would be, in con junction with the Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle Rail way, the means of connecting England and Scotland, as well as the two important contiguous counties, in the most advantageous manner. The line, he was persuaded, would be the means of accommodating 100 miles of country, rich in mineral wealth, with a productive soil and a highly intelligent and industrious population, and would, therefore, he was certain, prove most beneficial to all parties. The honourable gentleman concluded by calling attention to the character of Mr. Miller, on whom he passed a high eulogium for the great engineering skill he had shown, and also highly complimented Mr. litchell, the contractor, and all the leading parties connected with the undertaking. Mr. M'CALL, the chairman of the company, briefly returned thanks on behalf of the company ; expressing himself highly pleased with the whole day's proceed ings, and said the large attendance was a proof of the deep interest which the public took in the construction of the line. Immediately afterwards the lodges returned to Mauch line, in the same order of procession in which they came, and the large assembly, amounting to at least 5,000 per sons, separated. The various bodies were regaled in the evening in their several lodge rooms, and the directors, with their friends, dined together at the George Hotel in this town. About 200 sat down to a dinner composed of every de licacy of the season. On the cloth being removed, the usual loyal toasts wer e g i ven , followed by others appro priate to the day's proceedings. Among these the prin cipal were,—" Success to the great undertaking of the day," " The Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle Railway," " The Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock, and Ayr Railway," " The engineers," " The contractors," &c., which were respectively responded to by Mr. Leadbetter, Mr. M'Call, Mr. Alexander, and Mr. Miller. Several excellent speeches were delivered on the occasion, and the festi vities were kept up till a late hour. ARMAGH, COLERAINE, AND PORTRUSH. On Tuesday a meeting of the scripholders took place at the offices of Messrs. Phillips and Son, solicitors, Laurence Pountney-lane, for the purpose of adopting such mea sures as would compel the directors of the company to return the full amount of deposits paid. Mr. John Carter was called to the chair. A number of gentlemen, representing about 8,000 shares, were present. The CHAIRMAN said that in consequence of the extra ordinary maner in which the parties coooectod with tho Armagh, Coleraine, and Portrush had acted, it was es sential for the shareholders to take such steps as would enable them to recover back the full amount of deposits which they had paid on their respective shares. The directors had acted so badly, that they had attempted to obtain the amount of shares which was opposed to them, and to lessen this number, Mr. Galt, the secretary, had by their directions, offered to the immediate friends of Mr. Phillips 20s. per share. This offer, although in tended to apply to a favoured few, was made verbally, and since then had been r e p u di a t e d by Mr. Galt. This proved that no dependence could be placed in any over tures from the directors, and under these circumstances he felt he could listen to no other terms than that which promised the full amount returnable on the face of the scrip. He begged to call the attention of the meeting to the fact that the directors had not registered the deed. That, supposing that deed had been registered, it em braced no clause authorising any amalgamation what ever with another company ; but they had never at tempted to go to Parliament to obtain a Bill, and yet they now wanted to force the whole of the shareholders to agree to amalgamate their line with that of the Dub lin, Belfast, and Coleraine Railway, the shares of which, even at this very time, were only worth is. 3d. per share, while those of the Armagh, Coleraine, and Portrush were producing from 12s. 6d. to 15s per share. Looking at the present value of the shares, he was fully prepared to insist upon the whole of the amount of deposits which he had paid to be returned, as the directors had in every way broken faith with all those who had embarked their money in the project, under the impression that every exertion was to be made to obtain an Act of Parliament for the carrying out the proposed line. Mr. COHEN, who represented a large amount of shares, said he had been offered 20s. per share for every one which he held, which sum he refused, unless the same offer were made to all the dissentients. From what bad taken place with respect to the proceedings of the com pany, he considered it was essential for public faith and security that some example should be made ; the expo sure could only be effected in one way, and that was by law. In his opinion they were bound to avail themselves of the protection which the law afforded. It certainly was not pleasant to be involved in law proceedings, but they had no alternative, as nothing short of an exposure of the directors would produce the desired effect. Mr. PHILLIPS then read several letters, oue referring to the payment of 20s. per share to certain parties ; a second, that none but the original allottees were entitled to vote (although for the amalgamation newly purchased scrip was called into aid) ; a third, that the parties who intended to vote must sign a bond to pay up all demands that might be made ; while a fourth was dated from Scotland, signed by an eminent stockbroker, exposing a most gross system of fraud in the mode in which the scrip was sent into the share market at Edinburgh. Several other gentlemen then addressed the meeting in support of using every legal means to recover their money without a dissentient voice, and the proceedings terminated at five o'clock. IRISH LINES. CLONMEL AND THURLES.—This line has been sold, and the sale confirmed by the shareholders, to the Great Southern and Western. IRLSH SOUTH-EASTERN.—An amalgamation has been effected between the Wexford, Carlow, and Dublin Junction, and the Great Leinster and Munster Com panies, under the powers contained in their respective acts. The Amalgamation company will henceforth be known as "The Irish South-Eastern Company." Five shares in the arnalgamated'company will be given in ex change for one share in the Old Great Leinster and Muster. A call of 1/. 10s. per share has been made on the new shares. Holders of Wexford and Carlow Scrip are to pay a call of 1/. per share, and thus the amount paid up on all the shares being equalised, the Irish South-Eastern shares will be credited with 31. paid up. The lines embraced by the Irish South-Eastern Com pany are from Carlow to Enniscorthy, and from Carlow to Kilkenny, with a power of extension to Clonmel. The works on the line from Carlow to Kilkenny are rapidly advancing... DUBLIN AND BELFAST JUNCTION.—The works on the third division of the main trunk line of this com pany, from Dundalk to Foughill Etra, commenced on Thursday last, under the direction of Messrs. P. Moore and Brothers, the contractors. This makes three divi sions of the line now at work, and as we believe that the branch to Navan will also be commenced in a short time, we look forward with gratification to the means of employmct there will thus be provided for a large num ber of our poor countrymen during the approaching winter.—lrish lkilway Gazette. FARES ON THE SOUTH-EASTERN.--At a meeting of the inhabitants of Canterbury on Monday, Mr. H. Cooper, the mayor, in the chair, resolutions were passed to the effect that the increased charge for passengers from Canterbury to the metropolis is impolitic, uncalled for, and unjust, inasmuch as the chairman of the South- Eastern directors declared, at the opening of the line to Canterbury, that although the passengers were taken a circuitous route, the charge would only be made on a diagonal scale; and that such increase is quite at vari ance with the facts and principles laid down in the official statement of the company, published on the 27th of December last. That the meeting trust the directors of the South-Eastern Company will, on further conside ration, see the propriety of reducing the charge to the scale promised by their chairman on opening the line; and that, in the opinion of the meeting, a direct line from the metropolis through Canterbury, communicating Can- CONTINENTAL LINES. MARSEILLES AND AVIGNON.—It appears by the re port of the directors, presented at the late meeting, that the works of this undertaking are going on satisfacto rily. Notwithstanding the many heavy works of art re quisite on this line, there appears every reason for fixing the opening of at least five-sixths of it by the close of the present year—a period of eighteen months earlier than was stipulated by the original statutes of the company. ViEiZorr.—The works on this line advance rapidly. The Minister of the Interior is occupied in organising the staff of surveillance, and everything denotes an early completion of the undertaking. ROUEN AND RUEIMS.—A commission of inquiry has lately been opened upon the subject of establishing a railway as above, passing by Beauvais, Compiegne, and Soissons. BAYAUIAN LINES.—The section of the Northern and Southern line, extending towards Kauf buren, will most probably be opened in the spring of the ensuing year. The section as far as Lindell will not be completed for four or five years, in consequence of the immense diffi culties presented by the earth on this side. The por tion from Donauwerth as far as Nuremburg will he com menced next year. VIENNA.—The Austrian Government has determined that a line shall be promptly commenced between that capital and Salzburg. The Bavarian Government has also decided that a railway communication shall be effected between Munich and Salzburgh. This determi nation on the part of the Governments has produced con siderable enthusiasm amongst the people. Engineers from the Austrian capital have lately visited England, in order td report upon the efficacy of the atmospheric prin ciple ; their decision having been in its favour, the Em peror has decided on its usage being applied to a line which is to be constructed between the village of Sim mering and Brock. HAMDURGH.—On the line between this city and Ber lin, the number of workmen has been increased from 8,000 to 10,000. The works are continued without ceasing day and night, as the undertaking ought to be completed by December next. The workmen are stimu lated by higher wages than they have been accustomed to in their own country. GROSS IMPOSTURE.—A negro, who at Boston called himself by the name of Fred. Douglas, and at Louth, Curtis, has been imposing upon the philanthro pic feeling of a number of well-disposed individuals in ' those towns. We last week inserted a paragraph giving an account of a lecture in the Mansion-house, Louth ; and in the Town-hall at Boston, on Friday evening, a crowded meeting, got up at very short notice, listened to soul-harrowing statements of the sufferings and wrongs of American slaves. On Saturday evening a still larger crowd attended, and great interest was felt on behalf of the supposed Fred. Douglas. Some discrepancies be tween his statements and the published account of " F. Douglas" in Chambers's Journal, together with other circumstances, excited suspicion that all was not right and on Sunday morning, the Rev. R. G. Mason, who had come to Boston to attend the great temperance festival, seeing the pretender, at once said he was an impostor, as he had conversed with the real Frederick Douglas, and heard him speak in Covent , garden theatre, at the great demonstration of the World's Temperance Convention. Still he persisted that he was F. D. ; but on Monday morning he de , camped, taking the Sleaford-road, and it is said lectured , on Monday night at Heckington. At B ar t on h e sa id ' his name was John Adams, and that he was born in Liverpool, of black parents ; in his lectures at Boston he gave his native place as South Africa, where he was sold by his parents at twelve years of age. He is a true African, with the flat nose, thick lips, and woolly hair of that race, is about five feet six inches high, slen derly made, had on a blue cloth cap, rusty surtout, and dark trousers.—Cambridge Advertiser. SYDNEY.—The intermediate accounts from Sydney , state, that the inhabitants in the interior had been vi sited by a bushranger, named Wilson, and a gang of six associates, whose exploits had rendered them quite notorions. One of their excursions to a place called Darling Downs is thus degeribed in the letters re ceived from Moreton Bay :—" They visited a station, formerly occupied by a Mr. Gordon, but now taken up by the Messrs. Hay. The party inside the dwelling-house, who were just finishing dinner at dusk, were taken all a-back by seeing half a dozen mus kets and pistols presented at their heads, with a polite request from the gentlemen of the road to sit still until they performed a few necessary operations in their line. To the credit of the fellows, they conducted themselves in a quiet orderly manner, taking the gentlemen's word of honour that none of the desks or boxes contained money. One of the gentlemen (Mr. Leslie) had his watch returned, and his horse was politely placed at his service. After remaining some hours at the house, and handing a glass of grog round, they went off, taking with them a small supply of rations, which they weighed out, some double-barrelled fowlingpieces, and three horses, leaving a couple of fowlingpieces behind them. Singular to say, Wilson handed over to Mr. Leslie 331., which he stated he had taken from a poor man in the New England district, and giving his reasons for having taken that sum from the man, merely said he had refused him a feed when he called at his hut. I need not say the mounted police are on their track ; but from the known game qualities of the fellows, I fear they will not submit to be taken quietly. Their proceedings since coming into the Downs have the com plete air of romance, being conducted quite in the Claude du Val style of marauders. They threatened, while at the Messrs. Hay's station, to visit one or two gentlemen for the purpose of punishing them for some particular acts which had not met with their approbation; but from the hue and cry raised, little danger is apprehended from their visit, parties being prepared for their contemplated attack." A MISERABLE END.—Mrs. Harriet Pounder was on Sunday found dead in her own house, lying on three chairs. lice husband, a pilot, was sitting near the body, with his head resting on a table asleep. They had both been seen during the afternoon drunk, and it is sup posed she died from suffocation. About eight o'clock their son entered the house, a nd found his parents in the ease described.—Gateshea d Observer. MANCHESTER, SEPTEMBER 9.

Gd. KILLING NO MURDER.—The crime of murder is rapidly disappearing. What used to be called murder is now manslaughter, and what used to be called man slaughter is now a common assault. A ruffian quarrels with his wife, and knocks her twice on the head with a stool. The stool is wrested from him by a neighbour, and the poor victim of his barbarity sits down stunned by the blows. The savage attacks her again, knocks her down, and kicks her on the head. After a time the neighbours rush in, and see the ruffian kicking his wife as she lay on the ground, and striking her with a piece of wood, using both hands and feet against her. When the poor woman was in her last agonies the vil lain threw up his cap and defied any one to interfere with him. But this was not murder. The blows, in deed, were calculated to produce death; there were pauses between the attacks; there was ample time for deliberation; there was evidently the settled purpose nut to atop till the woman's life was de stroyed; but this was no murder! A Liver pool jury found that it was only manslaughter, adding, indeed, that it was one of the 'most aggra vated cases of the kind that ever came before a jury. If it was not murder, no case of beating to death can amount to murder. The violence, not sudden, but re commenced after the interference of a neighbour to save the poor victim, was as resolutely as ruthlessly conti nued till the sufferer was in the agonies of death, when the assassin flung up his cap. It was not that the savage had struck blows inflicting injuries beyond his intention ; his obvious purpose was to repeat them till he had kicked and beat his wife to death. But- this the Liverpool jury did not deem a murder. There have been many similar verdicts lately ; and it seems to be considered one of the marital rights to kick and beat a wife to death, or to break her neck by flinging her down stairs, without incurring the capital penalty. The frequency of crimes and outrages against women has been the subject of much indignant remark lately, and certainly juries have done their best and their worst to give this unmanly class of offences the encouragemen of impunity, positive or comparative.—Examiner PIHCE OF GOLD.—The premium on gold at Paris is 16 per milk, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. lo id. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 55 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 75, it follows that gold is 0.78 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 435 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. lOad. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 10 ; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 10; 1 , it follows that gold is 0.34 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. OPENING OF A NEW TRAFFIC WITH IRELAND- - IMPORTATION OF SHEEP.—The Fair Trader steamer arrived at Drogheda on Thursday with a cargo of no less than 1,600 sheep, direct from the island of Mull, Scotland. This flock, which we understand is a very fine one, consists of about one half breeding ewes, the remainder wethers for feeding. Such an importation as this constitutes quite a new feature in the live stock trade, and is deserving of consideration by landed pro prietors and stockuaasters here. The cargo belongs to Messrs. Adams and Banks, of Liverpool, who have the merit of being the present movers in this new, and we trust we may pronounce, promising traffic between the Scottish isles and this country.—Dublin Freeman's Jounia4 HAMBURGH MAIL. BERLIN, AUG. 31.—The Allgemiene Pruss Zeitung contains the following notice:—" Conformably to the regulations under Number V. of his Majesty's Cabinet ordet of the 18th of July this year, respecting the par ticipation of private persons in the bank, we declare the subscriptions to be closed. (Signed) " BOTHER VON DUESBERG. "Berlin, Sept. 1, 1846." KIEL, SEPT. 2.—A placard was posted up to-day by the police at the corners of the streets, calling on the citizens not to permit their servants or children to go out after eight o'clock at night, and prohibiting groups of more than three persons ; notwithstanding which, considerable numbers of people assembled this evening, as they did yesterday, vho, singing the swig of Schleswig-Holstein Meerumschlung," paraded the streets, but hitherto (ten o'clock in the evening) appears entirely to disperse, after an apprentice, who had been arrested by the police, had been released. The public are certainly indebted to the cautious and humane con duct of the military and the police.—Hamburg Papers, Sept. 4. DUTCH MAIL. AMSTERDAM, SEPT. s.—ln consequence of the extra ordinary heat which we have had, from the beginning of the spring till, this time, many persons, especially among the poorer classes, are attacked with bilious fevers, and the number is so great that, the hospitals being full, it has been necessary to open some parts of the work house to receive them ; and even the military hospital here has been opened to receive them, and even that has not been sufficient, one of the wings of the Palace of Justice having been fitted up for them. It is, however, satisfactory to know that the sickness is, in general, not of a very malignant character, for on comparing the number of patients this year, which is 1,156, with the number last year, when there were only 751, yet we find that in 1845 the number of deaths from the Ist of January to the 6th of September has been consider ably more than this year. THOLEN, SEPT. I.—Last week the disease in the po tatoes again appeared, and has now become general, so that those sown from seed are not free. Happily it has occurred a month later than last year; and, considering how early the crop was got in, we may certainly reckon that more will remain unspoilt than last year. TELE HAGUE, SEPT. 6.—We learn that in ihe impor tant trial respecting the disorders which took place in Sept. 1845, both at the Hague and at Delft, and which is to commence on Thursday, the 24th of this month, before the provincial tribunal of South Holland, se veral of our most eminent counsel are engaged for the seventeen accused persons. The very long indictment, drawn up by the Attorney-General of that court, is al ready published here. The departure of her Royal Highness the Princess Albert of Prussia from this town is fixed for to-morrow. ZEIRIC ZEE, SEPT. 4.—A letter from the highland of Voorne, of the 30th of August, says—" The potatoes never looked so fine in any year as at the first beginning of this summer—all promised a crop which, both in qua lity and quantity, would exceed all former years ; even at the beginning of this week the hopes of the, farmer were undiminished, and now, alas they are totally vanished. On Tuesday the indicatiohs of the disease appeared, and since that time it has spread with incre dible rapidity ; even on Wednesday afternoon not an acre could be found that was wholly free. The damage is incalculable, and we look for the winter with even more fear than last year. LANGSTRAATT, SEPT. 6.—We have had no more favourable year for the farmers in these extensive dis tricts than the present. They are busy in gathering the second crop of hay, and the peasant labours inces santly in this warm weather. The prices of hay are very high, for exportation to Algeria and other places. The rising of the prices, however, is not expected to be of long continuance. The corn is in general good, both as respects the quality and the quantity. The wheat and ba - rley promise much better than was expected; even the potatoes, though they appear externally to be a little injured, are found, however, on examination to be far better than was expected. THE HAGUE, SEPT. 5.—A letter from the banks of the Maine, to the Gazette of Cologne, the responsibility of which we' leave to the correspondent, says—" Prince Louis Napoleon is again an object of the consideration of diplomacy at this moment. In many quarters at tempts have been made to injure the Prince from dis posing at his pleasure of the fortune which he has just inherited, because, say they, he would employ ail these millions to revive certain projects, and perhaps certain attempts. It was even proposed to place the Prince under some kind of guardianship. These opinions not having been admitted, it has been thought sufficient for the present to prohibit him from entering certain states of the Continent. A telegraphic dispatch, forwarded to Berlin on the Ist of this month, bronght word that his Majesty the King would go first to Muskau, to see his brother, Prince Frederick of the Netherlands, and then to his estates in Silesia. It is probable that his Majesty will visit the King of Prussia, at Erdonansdorf, and be present at the reviews in Silesia. A letter from Bale, of the 31st of August, says:— " Her Majesty the Queen of the Netherlands arrived here yesterday, by the railway from Strasburg, and left us on the same day."—Dutch Papers, Bth Sept. The Court of Assizes for the Ardreche was en gaged on the 28th and 29th ult. on the trial of M. Closel, late mayor of St. Felicien, upon 17 charges of forgery, and 23 charges of peculation in the exercise of his offi cial functions, although he possessed a fortune estimated at upwards of 200,000 f. Twenty-one witnesses were examined, of whom only eight were called for the de _ _ fence. The jury acquitted him of forgery, but found him guilty on the charges for peculation, with extenuat ing circumstances. He was sentenced to three years' imprisonment, and to remain for three years more de prived of his civic rights.—Paris paper. MURDER IN BELGIUM.—A murder, attended with singular circumstatnces, took place in the night of Sun day last, at the hotel of the Red Lion at Tirlemont (Belgium). The host and hostess were alone, and, having finished the business of the day, were about re tiring to rest when a neighbour demanded admission, and on entering said that he had come to spend with them some of the profits of his business. The three sat down to table and commenced drinking wine. Their sitting, enlivened by jokes and cheerful conversation, was kept up until a late hour. About half-past one they all began to complain of drowsiness. The landlady retired into an adjoining chamber and was soon asleep. After taking a concluding glass, the visitor, observing that it was then too late to return to his own house, pro posed to pass the remainder of the night where he was in a chair. This, however, the landlord would not allow, saying that he would go upstairs and fetch a mattress for him. While he was absent for this purpose the man went into the room where the hostess was asleep, and, passing a rope in which he had made a noose over her neck, suddenly pulled it tight and left her, as he imagined, dead. He then re-entered the room where they had been drink ing just as the husband returned. The mattress was arranged, when the man proposed that the landlord should also lie down on it for the night, as in all proba bility his wife was fast asleep, and it was a pity to dis turb her. This proposition was unfortunately assented to. The landlord, overpowed by his potations, was soon asleep. Then the man rose and attempted to strangle him in the same manner as he had before adopted to wards his wife. A desperate struggle ensued, but in the end the assassin gained the mastery, and his victim lay dead at his feet. He next took a light, and going up stairs took away about 900 f. in money. He then left the house, closing the door 'after him. In the morning . the inhabitants finding the house remained closed, be came alarmed, and calling for the aid of the police, the door was forced, when the bodies were found as above described. The poor woman was still alive, and by the aid of restoratives recovered sufficiently to state what had occurred, and to declare the author of the crime to be a neighbour, named Charles Verbeist, a tobacconist. He was immediately arrested and sent to prison, deny ing, however, any connexion with either the murder or the robbery. The woman remains in a most dangerous state. VISIT OF THE BOYS OF THE ROYAL MILITARY ASYLUM AND THE CALEDONIAN SCHOOL TO THE SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—The boys comprising these schools visited the Gardens yesterday, and, the day fortunately being propitious, the pleasure suffered no ,drawback. The Caledonians were accompanied by their pipes, and highly delighted the sons and daughters of Scotia, who mustered strongly to welcome them. The Chelsea School were accompanied by their band, and we noticed with pleasure the evident improvement and precision in their execution of the various concerted pieces with which they delighted the visitors. They certainly reflect great credit on Mr. Lewis, the band master. The entire attractions of the Gardens, the mag nificent display of fireworks on the water, concluding with the eruption of Vesavius, sent the little fellows de lighted home.

THE ROYAL YACHT.—If anything could render the sea agreeable to those whose stomachs are always deranged by the motion of the vessel, the luxurious accommodation of the Victoria and Albert would do so ; there is a beautiful suite of apartments, so perfect in all their appointments, that, but for certain ivory handles inserted in the walls to hold by when there is any great motion, it is almost impossible to fancy yourself on board ship. All the rooms are hung with chintz, bed, bed-room, dressing rooms, drawing, dining-rooms ' all chintz ; and it has a very light an d e l egant effect. Ex clusion is, however, the " order of the day," and the captain and lady in waiting, &c., are rarely bidden to the royal table. The Queen and Prince always break fast alone in the little house on deck, in which a sliding table is inserted—that is, when his Royal Highness can eat any breakfast, which is not always the case.—Chel tenham Looker-on.

[ A DVERTISEM ENT.] —EXTRA ORDINA RY CURES OF DROPSY BY HOLLOWAY'S Pu.r.s.—Emma Williams, a servant living with Mrs. Smithers, Oldham-road, Manchester, had lately become of such a size from dropsy as to appear, (to use her own expres sion), as big as a butt. Every usual treatment was ,but with out effect; in this sad state she had recourse to Heiloway's Pills, and by them the water was entirely removed from her system, and an effectual cure perfected in about six weeks. These pills were lately tried upon two dropsical patients discharged as incurable from one of the largest,hospitals in London, and they also were both shortly cured by this famous medieine.—Sold by all druggists, attl At rI9- f9II#QX Sitabliehmout, 244, israzi, T,944ga.
