MEXICAN MINES. new employment for capital was yesterday proposed to the Public by the formation of a Company for working the Mexican Mines, in which the union of interest between the natives of that country and Europe is accomplished, with a view to render productive those exten sive sources of national and individual wealth, the Gold and Silver Mines of Mexico.—The following are the principal articles and condi tions : • The Company is in the joint names of the managing founders, at the head of whom is Mr. Alaman, proprietor of gold and silver mines, and Minister of State of the Interior and Foreign Affairs in Mexico ; but it is a joint-stock Com- Parq, on shares to b earer , w i t h res p ect t o the s h o re-holders. 'I he term of the Company is fixed for fifty years, and the joint-stock capital at one million two hundred thousand Mexi can dollars, divided into 6,000 shares of 200 dollars each for Mexico, 401. sterling for England. The interest on the capital is fixed at five per cent. per an num, payable half yearly, by the respective agents, on the first of Marcia and first of September. The dividends, being the division of th e yearly profits, arc to be declared and paid in the month of December, and the first payment f ill take place in December, 11124. The shares are printed in the Spanish, English, and French languages, with yearly dividend warrants, anti half-yearly interest warrants, attached thereto. The paym en t of the shares in London is to be made into the hands of Messrs. Hullett Brothers and Co., viz. one-third down, against provisional receipts, to be exchanged upon the payment of the remaining two-thirds, on or before the 15th of January next, against the shares. • A reserved fund shall be made, from the profits of the Com pany, to secure the payment of interest on the shares—to pro. vide for unforeseen works and contingencies—and to form a fund for the repayment of the capital of the Company at the time of its final liquidation. This reserved fund is to be raised by retaining 10 per cent. out of the yearly profits of the share holders. The manging founders, as a greater security for their good ad ministration, shall pay 20 per cent. on their shares of the Profits, until a capital is completed equal to that of the Company. Both these funds shall be invested in public securities, in -K.Ogland and France, in proportion to the respective number or shares held in each country. A Committee, composed of share-holders, and two Deputies ( 1 . Counsellors of the Supreme Council of Mines in Mexico, sun be formed there, to assist the managers, audit the ac counts, and give its advice on the affairs of the Company ; P°Ter being reserved for the agents in England and France each to appoint a deleg a te as a member of this Committee. The books of the Company shall be kept by double. entry ; 1111 d. every y ear , a stateme nt of the affairs of the Company , be transmitted to England and Franca, for the informs. flop of the share-holders. Gold and silver, in bars and coin, ."' be consigned to both countries, for the payment of t he respectiv e interests and dividends. At the expiration of the term of fifty years, the concerns of t he Company will be liquidated in the accustomed form, upon 4, Plleral and final inventory, comprising all the assets which nay then belong to it. GENERAL MINA. PLYSiouTn. DEC. 6.—On Monday the General • invited the officers of the French br i g Cuirassier to dine with him at the Royal Hotel : the invitation was accepted, and the officers, on coming on shore, first waited on their Consul, J. Hawker, Esq., and then retired to the hotel , where they dined with he General, and aftewards accompanied him to the Play. The French officers speak in the highest terms of him, and the General has . purchased several very valuable presents which he intends giving to the officers of the Cuirassier, as a • ' mark of his esteem, and in return for their kindness and atten tion to him during the voyage. ' On Tuesday General Mina dined, by invitation from Gene : ral Sir John Cameron, K.C.8., our Connuander4n.Cidef, at the Royal Hotel, where Sir John at present resider. The coin '. pany present were, Sir John Cameron and his Lady; General Mina and two of his suite; Colonel Cochrane, of the Royal Otiards ; Colonel Lloyd, of the Gist; Colonel Vinniconibe, of itoyal Marines; Colonels Morshead and Hawker, of the n r o .l ,PginecTs; and Major Smith. The French Captain o f s b "tirts of the Cuirassier were invited, but in consequence wind blowing so hard, the boat could not with safety fait the n ship : they attempted to put off twice, but were at sijohliged to relinquish it. n Wednesday the General received an invitation to dine on board aw hi s I .Aiai tit 's ship Genoa, with Capt. Sir Thos. Living hi.44eLllan., but was obliged to decline it from the wound in " "ugh making it painful for him to go on shipboard ; he • dineddeuce, on that day at Captain Hodges', of the army, at his resi. cri", in Stonehouse, with a select party of army and navy offi cers.,i The attention which Capt. Hodges has paid the gallant General since his arrival here, deserves the highest praise : • , this gentleman had the honour of knowing him in Paris several Zeus since. On Thursday he went on board the Admiral's snip the Britannia, the Admiral's barge having been sent for ' al* day he has an invitation from Cotain Wise, R.N., to dine with a select party at his Residence, Hoe - house. On N on- IltY with T. Bewes, Esq., the High Sheriff of the county. The general h a s been visited, since his arrival, by a great num ber of the resident gentry of our town and neighbourhood; many officers of the army and navy ; amongst whom are Sir Wm. Word, Bart., Recorder of the borough ; J. Ha wker, vv q•T the French and Dutch Consuls; an Alderman a n d a Taltutrate for the co u nty, a nd his faintly ; Thos. Bewes, Esq. . Iligh Sheriff for the county; J. Were Clarke, Esq. a . I , l ,l4gis i trate and banker; W. Tingcomb, Esq. banker ; C. Bird , barrister ; G. Bellamy, Esq. M.D., &c. On Wednesday Tt Was the Hero's birth-day—he is 43 years of age. J. Collier, Z l. one of th e pr i nc i pa l merchants of our port, is his agent ; Air. J. Collier, jun., waited on the General at his T) landing, arid accompanied him in the carriage to the hotel. i n '„urtny the onday evening in the Theatre, a sailor who sat the pit, with M that characteristic freedom which British sailors „, remarked for, held up his hat, which contained a quantity rants, to Gen. Nina, with a wish that he would take sonic ; i r e General p ut hi s h an d i nto th e hat, and took out a handful, hi m " !Hone time remarking to a gentleman who accompanie d -"'" I will keep these nuts as long its I live, for I am cer r:Lhad they been guineas he would have given them me."— woon • • Liirr rerhohier. CALAII, DEC. 3.—We had about a fortnight ! li lt' another glaring instance of French polite to our country folks, and to a Lady too. ` v o untess MANTERS, I think that was the name, ‘ '43 So ex t reme ly 111 when the packet arrived at o ' ° quay, indeed I have since heard she has been ° l u g 4 0 9 that she was obliged to be carried on "er° hy two men, and placed in a sedan chair. Yo u would hardly believe savages that could have beenfo guilty of such unfeeling, unmanly conduct, ali ru ?twithstanding the state they saw her in, wholee chair having no curtains, and scarcely a the Moe of glass in the windows, they made Wh ere bearers set her down between the gates, A ~e ‘ r e . of course there are many currents of air in a ir windy day, and exposed to the gaze of "fish women, boys, &c., for a quarter of hour at t or twenty minutes, until they had exa smined the persons of all her Ladyship's suite for aa u ggled goods; th e y did not even apologize, o r i n Y„tbey had or d er s t o be thus strict, but did i t c rudest m an n e r.—We have also had a sp e. togof Fren c h w i s d om here lately, at a meet . 3 of the Authorities, (the Mayor at the head, w l O is certainly no second Daniel), for the e l o ~ tururagernent of the Arts and Sciences, Agri cu e 5 kc. among other rewards, bestowed almost as for 401 Y1 was that of a Gold Medal, and a kiss for e 'l all the mem b ers o f t h e mee ting, to a man rna having proved that digging ditches roun d y land would drain off the water, and an spri ng who h as un d er t a ken to extract fre sh : L in " g water f rom a sa l t wa t e r well, is to be re th ed with 2,000 francs, and the Order of Holy Ghost. THE THEATRE. DRURY•LANL-Mr. KEAN returned to this Theatre last night, and had the pleasure to find a very numerous audience ready to give him a very favourable reception. Those who have al ways admired him of course must admire him now, for his peculiarities are the same, and so is his general style of acting. For our part, we have never been among his admirers, though we acknowledge his spirit, and the originality of his starts, tappings, his deep and violent ejaculations. However, he is not a tame follower of his prede cessors, but " boldly deviates from the common track." The part which he performed last night was Richard the Third, in which he is chiefly in debted for his extraordinary reputation. He was somewhat hoarse, but he seemed to support the character with so much ardour, that we saw no necessity for the apology, soliciting indulgence on account of his recent indisposition, and the re mainder of his performance seemed to spew that it was not necessary. He was received with very great applause, and as " in a multitude of counsellors there is wisdom," we bow to the judgment of the audience. Mrs. W. WEST sus tained the part of the Queen with great feeling and strong effect. Miss SMITHSON is a pleasing actress, but Comedy is not her forte, and she is not sufficiently impressive for Lady Anne.— Why POPE should be displaced from King Henry, to which his time of life and talents are adapted, we cannot conceive ; and, though we think rather favourably of ARCHER, yet his ap pearance was too youthful, and his voice too powerful, for the 64 Meek Usurper," as GrtAir stiles Henry the Sixth. Mr. WALLACK'S Rich mond was a judicious and spirited performance, and he may be justly classed among the very few legitimate actors of the present day. Perhaps our Readers may be amused by the discrepancy which appears in the remarks of the Morning Papers. One says " his (KEAN's) appearance bespoke sound and vigorous health," that " he exerted the full power of his genius." Another says, that " his face was thinner than usual — his countenance and voice afforded, therefore, the only proofs we could detect of the inroads which indisposition had made." Another says " he seems to have gained in size since last sea son." Another observes that 64 he has become very corpulent since last season, and his face has assumed almost a bloated appearance." Another remarks that his illness has evidently reduced him ih flesh." Another compliments the discern ment of some of the audience so fur as to state, that in their impatience " to testify their enthusiasm that they seemed to mistake every actor who entered during the first scene for their expected favourite." Another intimates that it has " confined its remarks to the general style of Mr. K.'s representation of the character rather than to the partial performance of last night, be cause the ill-state of his health would render it uncandid and invidious to notice parts of the particular performance in which he fell short of his accustomed effect." ROT ALWEST LONDON TIIEATRIL—We strolled last night into this Theatre, and confess we think the present performances highly creditable to the management. The first piece, The Wizard Ville Moor, or the Fisherman of Glencairn, is full of interest. Mr. MORTIMER, as the Wisard, displayed great and various power, and the ..4dcla of Mrs. BRMETZ RI EDER evinced much merit and knowledge of the Stage. Mr. SANTER, as the Fisherman, played exceedingly well. The Laird of Glencairn was respectably represented by Mr. OSBORNE. All the minor parts were ably sup ported. This was followed by The Child of Nature, in which Mr. MonnmEß, as The. Mar quis, appeared to advantage. Mrs. BEMETZ- ' RIEDER, as The Marchioness, was tolerably suc cessful. Duke Mercia, by Mr. SANTER, was very creditably sustained ; and The Count of Mr. JULIAN, in particular parts, was not without merit. But the evident attraction of the evening was the first appearance of a young lady in 4manthis ; indeed, we have rarely witnessed so successful a debut. Her face and figure are very prepossessing, and her manner natural and inte resting. The performance throughout was highly meritorious, and in some parts gave proof of ex traordinary talent. She was most rapturously received, and, even now, must be an acquisition to the Company ; and we venture to predict, that when experience shall have given more confi dence to her natural powers, and she plays other characters but as well as that of Amanthis, she will not be long unnoticed by the Mauagers of the larger Theatres. She is, we understand, a pupil of Mr. BENGOUGII, many yours Stage Ma nager of the Surrey Theatre, and does honour to his care and judgment. Between the pieces, a song, by Mr. FISHER, was well received ; and Mrs. J. SANTER sang a ballad in a very pleasing style. The concluding Romance of Melmoth, the Wanderer, has some very striking scenes and good acting ; it seems to be a great favourite, tf we may judge from the applause it drew forth.--- (From a Correspondent.) THE ARTS. --Avery beautiful Portrait of Miss PATON has recently been painted by Mr. NEW TON, one of the very best of our Artists in the province of Miniature. The likeness is exact, and the expressian is characteristic and pleasing. The colouring is vivid and in perfect harmony. It is, indeed, a faithful and an animated likeness of this popular warbler. A very fine print from this admirable portrait has been engraved by Mr. It. NEWTON, the brother of the painter, which renders full justice to the original. It is grati fying to see two brothers of congenial talents uniting their powers to illustrate the merits of each other. Mr. RUSSELL, formerly of our Theatre, and whose merits as a Comedian were so deservedly and highly estimated by the Edinburgh au dience, has lately been performing Richard, Shy. lock, Sir Giles Overreach, and other characters of a similar description, with so much success, that the Managers of Covent-Garden Theatre have engaged him to perform them in London.-- (Edin6urgli Courant.) THE KING. BRIGHTON, DEC. B.—This town is once more happy in the presence of the Sovereign. Ills MAJESTY, at half-past five o'clock in the evening, returned to the Pavilion. The 58th Infantry, with the colours, band, and drums of the Regiment, were drawn up in line from the north entrance gate of the Palace, early in the afternoon, flanked by the 7th Royal Hussars, with the colours, bugles, and band of their corps also. The I.evel, to the extreme entrance of the town, was pretty well filled by spectators, including all ranks of people very soon after wards.—The bandsf or some time alternately amused the popu lace by a diffusion of ther melodies. When his Majesty arrived, the scence was indescribably animated—huzzas and acclama tions rent the air, while both bands struck up the National Anthem. The Duke of Dorset, Sir William Keppel, and Sir Hilgrove Turner, who had arrived about an hour previously, towards seven o'clock, had the honour of dining with his Majesty. ... , ,,:ti. .0 1 . , . 1.. t ., '^ ' • , ko 111;:, .. ip.,..., , ~.* 6 .. . , , Tr,„;,14 . 7 • , .4.... ital.

The Count and Countess Lanskerouski,Count Limn, M. de Neumann, Lord and Lady Morley, and Sir George War render, dined with Mr. and Mrs. Canning at Gloucester Lodge yesterday. The Prince de Polignac yesterday entertained a party of dis tinguished foreigners at his house in Portland-place. The Marquis of Salisbury is entertaining a distinguished party of friends at his seat, Hatfield. Mr. Coke has still a large party of Noblemen on a shooting excursion at his seat in Norfolk. Ragley, in Warwickshire, the seat of a wealthy and noble. spirited .Marquis, will soon resume its former gaiety. A fete upon a scale of magnificence, to which many persons of wealth and consideration are invited, is likely to take place about Christmas. FAUX PAS I Mummy lart.—A discovery, attended by circumstances of a very distressing nature, has lately thrown two families, in the middle class of life, into the greatest afflic tion. A young lady, who was a parlour-boarder, at a school in the neighbourhood of Hackney, has fallen into snares of an un. principled married man, whose daughter, at the same school, although much younger than the unfortunate victim, was in her confidence, and was prevailed upon to become the channel of the epistolary correspondence of the criminal parties. The wife of the seducer was induced, by unfounded representations, to go on a visit into the country, for two or three weeks, and her absence from home was taken advantage of to accomplish his infamous design—to mature which months had been devoted. MADAME CAT AL t.—This distinguished singer gave her first Concert last night, in the Assembly Rooms, to a genteel but mot a numerous audience. She was received on her en trance with great applause. She Was in excellent voice, and sung the various songs in her usual melodious and mas. terly manner. The airs of 4‘ Cease your funning," and " Robin Adair," were much applauded. At the conclu. sion of the evening's entertainment " Rule .Britannia" was called for, on which Madame Catalan' cheerfully came forward, and sung the song with a spirit, grace, and animation peculiarly her own. Indeed, she seems to have nothing in common with any other singer; she surprises, agitates, and enchants, by turns—her dignity, her tenderness, and her enthusiasm, defy description, and the majesty of her voice is equalled only by the beauty of her form and counte nance. A Mr. and Mrs. Bedford and Mr. Swift sung several songs and glees in very good style, and with taste and judg ment.—(Edinburgh Courant, Dec. 11.) ANECDOTES OF Tiff AUTHOR OF lIERVErS MEDITAIIONS. " On receiving a visit from a gentleman, Mr. HERVEY, whilst walking with him in the garden attached to the old parsonage, " 'plucked that emblem of beauties transient bloom,' a rose, and desired him to present it to his wife, to put her in mind of the Rose of Sharon. She paid that regar d to the gift and the giver, as to put it Into a frame with a glass, The following observations respecting the transaction occur in a letter from Mr. Hervey to his Mend : ' Your lady has shewn the most welcome complaisance to me, and to the rose; to Ins in accepting what Is less than a trifle ; to the rose, in putting It to such a use. Could that poor vegetable be sensible,'lt would rejoice to be a rementbrancer of its most amiable Creator.'" The gentleman above mentioned was 'the Rev. Henry Venn, who, in 1759, held the living of Huddersfield, Yorkshire, which he resigned for that of Yelling, in Huntingdonshire.— He wrote the work entitled ' The Complete Duty of Man.'— The observation he made in reference to Mr. Hervey, upon this visit and conference, displays in its short sentence, a volume; it shows his heavenly disposition, temper, and mind, in more forcible language than all the powers of oratory could attempt to set forth. He said, ' break the shell and you have an angel!" We are informed at p. 72, of the above work, that Messrs. Hervey was the fi rst person rson in the village of Hardingston who displayed the tea equipage; and to use the elegant phrase of her son, steeped the delicately flavoured Chinese leaf,' a cir cumstance, probably not generally know. There are likewise added to this work several original letters of Hervey ; and a very affectionate one from Dr. Cotton to him. The Pulpit Bible of this great man, and the Easy Chair (a cut of which is given in the above work), in which he is sup posed to have died, and in which " The last accents faultered on his tongue," in those heavenly wordy—precious salvation; are preserved at the Rectory House, Weston Favell. DEATH OF Mn, RAYNSFORD.—We regret to announce the melancholy death of RODZILT itATNEIFORD, Esq., the Chief Alagistrate of the Police Office, Queen-square. This event took place at his house in Queen-square, about six o'clock on Sunday night. Mr. Raynsford had been in a de clining state of health for some time past, but he was not inca pable of attending his Magisterial duties till within the lust fortnight, since which he has been entirely confined to his bed, in consequence of a confirmed stricture, which baffled the skill of the faculty. Mr. Itaynaford had acted for many years at Shadwell Office, and from thence was removed to Hatton garden, and lastly to Queen -square, where his valuable labours terminated. lie was related to some noble families, and highly respected by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. lie was between sixty and seventy years of age, and has left a widow, but no family. A Gentleman just arrived from Germany states, that lie saw the young NAPOLEON at Ow Vienna Theatre. Ho describes him as a must interesting boy, full of vivacity, and restless. From the manner of the boy in his box, he MIS strongly reminded of his father. When this Gentleman asked the box-keeper t if that was he answered, " No, it the young NAror , cos," is the Duke of ItAsuir," and he found upon inquiring afterwards that orders were strictly given to all persons iu office never to mention the name of NAPOLEON. POETRY. THE WEDDING. Oh ! there is music in the bells Front yonder noisy steeple pealing, That sweetly o'er the spirit swells, And wakes the deepest chords of feeling. There's an oterflowing tide of gladness To-night in all we hear or see ; A moment's passing dream of madness, The heart's delirious jubilee. Who reeks, amid a scene like this, 0, future grief, or toil, or pain ? To-morrow shall dissolve the bliss, And Care and Reason wake again. And it may be that yonder chime, 'Which spoke to-day of hearts delighted, May sadly tell, in after-time, That death those hearts had disunited. It may be-but away, away Forebodings dark, and dreams of sorrow ! Let Mirth and Music reign to-day, And Reason's voice he heard to-morrow. SPORTING INTELLIGENGE.

On Wednesday. 3d instant, the Cheshire !founds came near our city, Waverton village being appointed as the place of meeting. Sir H. M. Mainwaring was absent, owing, we un derstood, to the death of a near relation. The morning was very favourable, although the preceding night had been occa sionally stormy. Exactly at the time appointed, the hounds, attended by their knowing huntsman, 111 r. Read, and two whippers-in, proceeded to Saighton gorse. We have seldom witnessed a larger field of sportsmen than presented them selves at this time. The barouche and four of Earl Grosve nor, attended by two out-riders, drove up to the cover aide. In it we recognised Lady Delamere, Lady Elizabeth Beigrave, Lady Brooke, and a Lady whom we did not recollect having previously had the honour of seeing, but whom we understood to be a relative of the Countess Grosvenor; on the barouche box sat Mrs. Tomkinson, heedless of the flying shower. The field of amateurs wax too extensive for us to embrace the whole but we recognized Messrs. Sudworth, Hesketh, Massey, Bag nall, A alley, Bromfield, Nicolls, Shakespear, Johnson, Dixon, Campbell, Currie, Brassie, Collier, Clemeson, Baldwin, Orton, Hamilton, and many others whose quick transit scarce gave us time to recognise. In about ten minutes after throwing into cover, a favourite hound gave tongue, and the knowing ones were convinced all was right, and soon after a very fine fox broke covert in the direction of Saighton, but instead of making for the village, he ran strait fir llowton, near Rowton Hall, he' faced the keen wind, and bent away back for Saighton, in a circuitous direction, to near the cover again, but boldly kept the open country, and went at a killing pace over the mea dows, by Hatton Heath, and Calveley Hall, crossed the brooks to Aldersey, and thence in a direct line to Cowley, and gal lantly took the hih ground to Barnhill, from then ce to Boles worth, Martha% Burwardaley, and Peektbrton, on the high rocks and almost impenetrable fastnesses of which, Beynard ultimately escaped, after affording a brilliant run of near an hour and a half, over a very difficult country, which caused many a gallant nag to sob out " Hold, enough !"—(')isms, Chronicle.) RACING PRIZES. The Muia of Sligo is now holder of the Northumberl a nd (fold Cup, the Peel Cup, the Whip, the Sligo Whip, an d th e King's Whip ; the first irne they have ever been in the posses sion of one person at the same time. The Northumberland Gold Cup was given by the. Earl of Northumberland when Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, and is a 4-mile weight for age race, chal lengeable each April and September meeting, to run on the next meeting but one after it has been challenged. It is challenged with 200 gs p. p. and accepted with the like sum and the Cup. The Peel Cup was presented by the present Secretary of State for the Home Departinent,while he was at the head of the Irish Government: it is also a weight for age, but the distance is only about two miles, and the stake lOUgs p. p., end the times of challenging June' and October, to run the follow ing October and June. - The Whip was added many years ago by the Turf Club of Ireland, to a sweepstakes of 100 gs, p. p. that. 71b. each, for all hor ses , as a mar k o f the beat horses in Ire land. The Sligo Whip was presented by the Noble Marquis to the Society, to be run for with a smeller stake—namely, Zigit. each, p. p.—weight fur age, about one mile and thr e e quar t ers . It is run for on the Monday of each April and Septempter Meet ing. The King's Whip is also a weight for age, with veryh eav y weights, anti was presented by his Majesty, together .with ithlgs. annually to be run for at each October Meeting. This prize has been three times run for, and won the first and third years by the Noble Alarquis's ehesnut horse Lugar, who was amiss last year, anti could not therefore start for it. • PJDESTRIANTSM.

A man named Morle ij was put on his trial for stealing, a pair of small clothes, the property of one Charles Rice, residing in Tothill-street, 'Westminster. The prisoner was found guilty, and sentenced to one months imprisonment. The COURT said that it was a great pity that the County should be burthened with such ex ponces for so trivial an offence. The prosecutor said that he had no idea of prosecuting till he was compelled so to do at the Marlborough -street Police (Mice. The CHAIRMAN said, that he, according to the evidence, understood that the article was not re moved from the shop. The prosecutor said that was the fact, and he believed the prisoner committed the offence through distress.

SHIPWRECK ON Ittrouartria.—Among the distressing clients which occurred at Leith and its neighbourhood on the night of the td inst., we have to record the loss of a vessel of about forty tons, called the Tay, with h er crew , b e l ong . log to Liniekilna, ound from Dysart to Perth with coals. It appears that this vessel w a s a t anc h or on t h e eastern side of Inehkeith, as by the reflection of the light upon her mainsail, she was seen _getting under way by the crew of a passing vessel, just as the gale increased f r om th e sout h -east. But it as presumed that she had never fetched way, but drifted on shore upon the island. The vessel is a complete wreck ; and two of the bodies have been found and carried up to the Light-house, one Of which is su pp ose d to b e 11 1 r.

On the evening Wednesday last it blew a perfect hurricnn there, from the north-west, and about 3 o'clock in the morning of Thursday the newly-erected cotton mill, belonging to Mr. ,Riley, situate in Fishwick, was blown down with a tre mendous crash—scarcely leaving one brick stand ing. The building was just covered in, and part of the windows were glazed. The large beams were broken in two, as if only reeds. It is a re markable coincidence that it should be exactly twelve months since a similar accident hap pened. The loss in this instance is estimated at two thousand pounds, besides the delay that must occur before the building can he raised again. The extensive cotton milli building by Messrs. Sivainson and Co.nt ar that of Mr, Riley, also suffered severely, the building having been thrown about eighteen inches out of the square ; but it is expected that it will be able to be screwed up. The damage done ,at Messrs. Swainsim and Co.'s will exceed 2001. Al great many windows were broken in the houses in exposed situations; and there will be work for the slitters and masons , for some days to come. We are happy .in being able to state that no lives are losti. 7 — Chorloy also felt the effect of the storm, and the Church buildi n g there, out of the money granted, by Parliament, is partially blown down, the loss amounting to upwards of 1,0001. CoUIaTSUIP.—On Tuesday week, es a young woman of the name of Maur BrexEr was on her way from her home at Wragby to Halifax, where she was engaged as a servant, being :fatigued,' she called for refresh ment at the George and Dragon inn, in Dewsbury. . .4 short time after, a young butcher of the name of Ogennr l3matctr came in, clapped her upon the shoulder, and said, " TM* . young woman will make me a good housekeeper." The damsel, nothing lath, assented to the observation ; a serious convey. nation ensued, which ended in procuring a licence, and the amorous pair were married the next morning, to the great' en tertainment of a very numerous party or attendruits..-4 17ork aisrant.) , Another explosion of hydrogen gas took plate in a coal-pit at Fenton Park, near Lane-Delph, on Tuesday last. Twenty persons, men and boys, were at work in the pit at the time ; they perceived that a large quantity of foul air had collected, but before - they could be removed from their dangerous situation it ignited, and each of them received more or less injury ; tho lives of several are in danger, but at present none deed.—(StWordshire Advertiser.)
