SPIRIT OF TILE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Reji;rin has triumphed at Glasgow. The numbers at the close of the poll were— Fur Mr. Deani,tonn Mr. Monteith Majority 758 And this notwithstanding the vilest calumnies were audaciously circulate:l against Mr. Dennistotm ! No one ever qu' t.otioned the honesty or the indeptaidence of the Refor rers of the great commercial city of the Wert of Scotland but a painful uneasiness was enter ta;ned by many persons here lest the charges of irre lit:ion lavished against the Reform candidate might be partially successful, The Glasgow Reformers have, iwever, it seems, nobly done their duty, and drawn the attention of the country from the disgraceful oample of Westminster. We have now some thing more gratifying to refer to than the heart sickening spectacle of the success of an old rene'ado, who carried his election by the party whom lie formerly loaded with abuse, aidisi by a num ber of blundering Radicals who, in spite of the strong est evidence to the contrary, believed that Sir Francis really was, as he professed to be, unchati.;ed. The example of Westininsur has only served to stimulate the men of Glv,go.,v araer exertions to avoid a si milar disgrace. No ; the people of this country never can be so forgetful of what they owe to themselves and to future generations as to turn their backs on Re form. They can never cheer on the Toriesin their unholy warfare against the Reform Bill, which has not hitherto yielded the consequences anticipated from it, through the successful exertions of the Tories in the noose of Lords. The Reformers of Glasgow have proved that the people can distinguish between their friends and their foes. Tnis election is a commentary on the dinner to Sir Robert Peel, on which the Tories will do well to meditate. So much for the re-action at Glasgow.—Morning Chronicle. The Tories have one of the Commandments in es pecial aversion—" . Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour." In almost every election which has been contested of late, the supporters of the Tory candidate were at great pains to circulate among the electors insinuations against the religious belief of the Reform candidate. This praiseworthy custom has been observed at Glasgow. At the nomination on 'Thursday, Mr. Dennistoun indignantly complained of this vile mode of assailing an opponent. " I believe," said he, "in the whole annals of electioneering war fare, the mode to which some of my opponents have had recourse is unparalleled : reports of thegrossest and most unheard-of description, whose foulness was only equalled by their supreme absurdity, have been indus triously circulated against me ; and, to crown all, it was actually published to the world that I have been guilty of burning the Holy Bible. Now, sir, I solemnly de clare, in the presence of God and man, that of ans such foul deeds these hands are clean ; and I will not rest have brought to light the author of the calumny, and exposed him to the execration of all good men." It is creditable to Mr. Monteith that he :poke in terms of indignation of the calumnies to which his followers had had recourse to run down his opponent. At a meeting previous to the nomination, Mr. Monteith, in addressing the audience said, " In an especial manner he alluded to the false and inju rious calumnies, as he unhesitatingly denounced the reports regarding Mr. Dennistoun's personal character. Such calumnies were always injurious, and more so to the candidate who was not made the subject of at tacki—(Cheers and calls of William Leckie Ewing and Dr. M'Conochie r) As soon as he heard the gross calumny he knew that it could not be true, and he was only surprised that Mr. Dennistoun had thought it necessary to contradict it." A Dr. Taylor compli mented Mr. Monteith " as a straightforward fellow, too honest to allow the party who brought him for ward to irfluence his opinions. He (Mr. Monteith) had denounced the co»duct of Mr. Leckie Ewing and others, to whom a base calumny had been traced, and who would be left to throw it off their backs in the best way they could." Thanks to the perferviduni genium .cotorunt, the caluniniators of Mr. Dennistoun have gone about their unholy work with more zeal than discretion, and have.thus afforded that gentleman the means of grappling with the calumny, and punishing the contemptible authors. Mr. Mon teith thought that Mr. Dennistoun ought not to have taken any notice of it. We think he did quite right in tracing it. All those who tight with poisoned weapons ought to be put without the pale of society. In no case ought the calumny to be overlooked. It is with these accusations of irreligion as with accusa tions of certain propensities Baud nominanda, many a man has not the strength of mind to meet them boldly, and the knowledge of this emboldens the miscreants to proceed with their dirty work. But how well Dr. Taylor knew his men when he said Mr. Monteith was too honest to allow the party who brought him forward to influence his opinions. When we find these foul practices resorted to, not once or twice or thrice, but at every election, we are entitled to infer that there is more than accident in the matter. Surely the _Carlton _Club have not laid it down as a rule that their candidates shall always raise the cry of irreligion and impiety against their opponents ! Dur ing the wars of time Guelphs and the Ghibellines, the Guelphs, who were the church party, used always to raise time cry of irreligion and heresy against their opponents, and the friars excited the mob to take vengeance on the individUals whom they chose to run down. A writer of those times tells us that he saw the mob, after an exhortation of the monks, devote to the flames as many as twenty distinguished individuals at one time. Thank God we live in times when men cannot destroy the bodies of their .political opponents ; but the spirit which formerly brought men to the stake still survives, and the Glasgow Tories showed not the slightest compunction in sacrificing the reputation of Mr. Dennistoun. .There was a time when no 'nail spoke more feelingly against this base practice of exciting odium against Reformers by charging them with irreligion than Sir Francis Burdett. In his very able speech on the 24th of November, 1819, at the opening of the Session after the Manchester mas sacre, he said, " It was remarkable, he might here observe, that it had become a prevailing fashion amongst many to mix up reform and irreligion as two timings necessarily connected. Some persons appeared to consider them like Church and State, inseparable ; lint, for his own part, he could not imagine how the destruction of Christianity should be favourable to the cause of Reform. The result would, as he appre hended, be entirely the reverse. In point of fact the same opinion was entertained in the time of Charles 11., when it was the policy of the Court to favour every species of irreligion with a view of extinguishing ail zeal for a free Government. Christianity was felt io be a religion of liberty ; it taught a doctrine ab horred by many—the natural equality of mankind But it likewise inculcated justice, it recommended charity, and forbad time imputation of evil mo tives to others, without sufficient ground." " By their fruits ye shall know them." The reli gion of the Tories is not a religion of justice, or charity. If—as Sir Francis Burdett says — Christianity teaches " a doctrine abhorred by many--- the natural equality of mankind," what is the religion of the Tories, who seek to profit by all manner of abuses in Church and State, who would sacrifice the interests of the many for the sake of the privileged few? Whenever ally individual exerts himself zealously for the good of the people he is charged by the Tories with irreligion ; and thank God lie is not of their sel fish, uncharitable religion. It is melancholy to think that the Sir Francis Burdett who expressed himself so indignantly against attempts to run down Reformers by charges of irreligion should have moiled himself among those he condemned. Nay, the poisoned wea pons against the use of which he protested were dis charged against the candidate opposed to him, no doubt with his concurrence, at the last Westminster election. The Han. Baronet, if we may judge from his xpeech on the question of Church -rates, is now in the right frame of mind to practice all the disingenuous tricks which he formerly reprobated. When evil principles have once found an entrance into the mind of man, areer is usually very rapid. Mr. Den am from the Glasgow Journal, was nd-bill, with having burnt the Bible Company in Liverpool. " Great li- Journalist, " even gross scurrility, in good taste ox not, it is needless to tted by common consent in electioneer- iN ibi.*Acr`rfg,t, p l et .ii vc „, * i ‘, :.-., , - ,-- - tllatliOge ..., . Kai int.; squibs ; but that a party who arrogate to them selves the honour of being the exclusive patrons and protectors of religion and morals should have sanc tioned such a Bill, without a particle of foundation, could scarccly have been believed for a moment but all the conclusive evidence now adduced." This will he considered, we suppose, a pious fraud. When the parsons obtained signatures to petitions for the conti nuance of Church-rates, by proclaiming to their rustic I .arishioners that it was intended to pull down the Churches and use the materials in Macadamising the r.)ads, the authors of this fraud knew that they were safe ; but the calumniators of Mr. Dennistoun have been less skilful than their English brethren.— Morning ('hronicle. We need only refer our readers to the reports trans mitted from Glasgow 'by our correspondent. The re sult of the election does not fully realise our hope. But, considering the great disadvantages under which the Conservative candidate was placed' upon this oc casion, and the visible decay of Whig-radical strength, as attested by the final state of the poll, when com partd with that of former elections, it seems certain that the present victory, if victory it can be called, is the last which the party of the present Ministers in Gl,Fgow will have to boast. If the friends of the Constitution in the House of Commons have not ac- quired an addition, as i❑ other recent elections, to their numerical force, it is consolatory to reflect that they have sustained no loss ; while all the incidents of the election conspire to prove that the noble cause which they support, if not yet completely triumphant at G!as gow, is progressive there, as in every other part of the United ‘Kingdom.—Morning Post. A great political event is at hand—Mr. Roebuck has given notice of a motion on the state of the nation ! There is something rather amusing . in this, notwithstanding the great gravity and the deep im portance of the matter, which might very well come within the scope of Mr. Roebuck's motion. We do not question the Hon. and Learned Gentleman's talents. We admit that he is distinguished for vehemence, and we acknowledge that few men can cope with him in volubility. We think that he is more accurate than Mr. Hume, more eloquent than Doctor Bowring, and fully as much in earnest as any man on the Ministerial side of the House of Commons ; but still we cannot help feeling that there is something like a ludicrous contrast between the importance of the subject which he has an nounced and that of the individual who is to bring it forward. And this, too, is heightened by the way in which the thin g is done. It seems as though Mr. Roebuck had taken a sudden thought that he would discuss the whole state of the nation, and up he starts, and at once gives notice that on the- very next meeting of the House he will bring on that sub ject. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman scarcely does himself justice by these brusque proceedings—. he is fit for something better, especially if he would give up the Canada annuity. It may be a very plea. sant sort of madness which possesses Mr. Roebuck— that the profoundest and most difficult cases of political complication are quite easily mastered if people would only use his key to their demonstration ; but it is mad ness nevertheless. The man who offers to demonstrate in " five minutes" that everything which has been ever said in favour of duties on foreign corn is unsound, or who suddenly determines to discuss the state or the nation in full Parliament within three days:, is beyond all question a leetle hasty. We would ad vise Mr. Roebuck to look to his fame (putting the Canada annuity out of the question), and to consider this. Our present Ministers are so eminently clever whenever anything in the nature of a trick is to be performed, that we can almost suppose them to have set Mr. Roebuck on to the remarkable proceeding of a motion on the state of the nation. In the felicity of Mr. Sprine. Rice's profound ratiocinations on the best means of avoiding a scrape it may have occurred to him to throw an air of ridicule upon such a motion might, under present circumstances, be a highly judi cious stroke of policy. We do not think quite so meanly of Mr. Roebuck as to suppose . that he would become the willing instrument of Ministers in defen sive policy of this kind ; but we know it is not the manner of such dexterous gentlemen as at present hold the high offices of State to go directly to the point in this or any other matter. If Mr. Roebuck's motion be really one of Ministerial contrivance, we are quite sa tisfied that he himself is not aware that, it is so. Greater men, however, than Mr. Roebuck, have some thus been made serviceable to others, by cunning sug gestions of certain means of being serviceable to them selves. When Mr. Fox moved, some forty years ago, " in conformity to due notice," an inquiry into the same subject which Mr. Roebuck now undertakes to bring before the House of Commons he said that " this solemn mode of inquiry ought not to be resorted to but in cases of peculiar emergency. At such a time the Commons would not do their duty to their consti tuents, if they afforded confidence to any Administra tion but on the strongest grounds, and thefirmest con viction of its integrity and competence to the charge." Now, if this be a time at which an inquiry into the state of the nation be necessary or expedient, we call upon the followers and the admirers of Mr. Fox to bear in mind this solemnly-affirmed judgment of the duty of the House of Commons. Is there a firm con viction on the strongest grounds of the integrity of the present Administration, and its competency to the charge which it has undertaken ? Is there anything like this ? Ministers and their adherents know well that there is not. For many reasons we waive the question of the " integrity" of the present Administration. We shall not enter upon that discussion, but the ques tion of its competency is to be determined by mat ters of fact, open to the inspection of all. If we be asked whether Ministers be competent to their charge ? —we answer, ciremspice. Look around, and see whether they have been able to do anything which they have proposed to do. Whether their propositions have been injurious or beneficial is not the question. We believe they have. been most injurious—but we appeal to those who think they are not, and to them we say— " This Administration cannot deserve your confidence if you think, with Mr. Fox, that the Commons ought not to confide in an incompetent Administration." Let us look back at this Administration from its commence ment. It forced itself into office upon the pretext that it could manage the affairs of the country much better than the Administration of Sir Robert Peel. Now, what were the hopes held out by . that Administration, had it been permitted to continue ! We find Sir Robert Peel, on his very first appearance before the House of CoLemons as a Prime Minister, laying down, with his usual clearness, a statement of what he intended to do. He said to the party of the present Administration—l call upon you not to condemn before you have heard, to receive at least the measures I shall propose ; to amend them if they are defective, to extend them if they fall short of your expectations, but at least to give the opportunity of presenting them, that you yourselves may consider and dispose of them. I make great offers, which should not lightly be rejected. I offer you the prospect of continued peace—the re stored confidence of powerful States, that are willing to seize the opportunity of reducing great armies, and thus diminishing the chance of hostile collision. I offer you reduced estimates, improvements in civil jurisprudence, reform of Ecclesiastical law, the settle ment of the Tithe question in Ireland, the commutation of tithe in England, the removal of -any real abuses in the Church, the redress of those grievances of which the Dissenters have any just ground to complain. I offer you those specific measures, and I offer also to advance, soberly and cautiously, it is true, in the path of progressive improvement. I also offer tke hest chance that these things can he effected in willing concert with the other authorities of the State, thus restoring harmony, ensuring the maintenance, but not excluding the reform (where reform is really requisite), of ancient institutions. These were the offers of the Peel Ad. ministration, but these were rejected, and a coalition of English Whigs with Irish Democratic Papists, in fa vour of an abstract question, previously opposed by the English Whigs, overthrew the Peel Administration. We ask what that coalition has accomplished to recon cile this nation to the loss of what the Peel Adminis tration promised ? Is the present Administration com petent, or likely to be competent at any time, to do as much for the nation as the Peel Administration was ready to do, and able to do, but for the coalition of Lord John Russell with the agitating Irish Papists, who, up to that moment, had spurned and spit upon him ? Here is abundant matter for anxious and useful inquiry, if " the state of the nation," were really in vestigated as such a subject ought to be. No wonder that the Ministers should wish if possible to burlesque such an inquiry.— Morning Post. The public was informed - yesterday, and the infor mation was accompanied by a tone of something like swagger, that although the Treasury journalist, whose columns were laid under contribution for the purpose, did not'' absolutely know" what was passing within the walls of the Cabinet, he as well as ail Reformers, were satisfied that there never was a moment at which the " Reform Ministry, relying on the justice and ex pediency of their policy," felt more confidence in their own strength than at present ; and most certainly there never was a moment at which a more mlanimous reso lution prevailed among them " to persevere in that safe but unflinching. course of • reform" which they had hitherto pursued. This means, we presu ee, that the O'Connell Ministers are determined, at all hazards to re main in office. And who ever doubted that so far as men's actions depended on their own wills, the Radicals now in office would continue there until the writing-desks va nished from b..flre them, and the arm-chairs dropped from under them ? We, at least, never had any such doubts upon the subject. The Ministers have . waded so far through iniquity and degradation, that "returning were more tedious than go o'er." On one side, therefore, viz., that of amendment of their ways, there present themselves what may be almost termed physical obsta cles : on the side of resignation, under any circum stances, the moral obstructions are equally strong. They would gain nothing in the shape of profit by such a change, and in the shape of reputation they would save nothing. Like all black-legged adventurers who have staked everything on a throw, the present alone is what they can look for. Push such persons as these from their stools, and their prospect for hereafter is worse than nothing. Cling to office therefore, they will—they must. After all their furious outcries against the House of Lords, the country perhaps - is not aware that the O'Connell Ministers have, in the form either of crea tion, appointment, or promotion, effected changes in that assembly to an amount not short of fifty votes, and that within the interval of six years, or less. Yet these are the men who torment the public ear with ac cusations against the Conservative party, for having in the course of fifty years made large additions to the Peerage. We would humbly represent to the conside ration of one whom from our hearts we honour, and whom in all duty and loyal reverence it is our devoted purpose, as faithful subjects, to defend in the exer cise of his sacred functions, and in the enjoyment of his rights, secure and unmolested, that a vigi lant superintendence ought to be maintained over the attempts of the O'Connell Ministers to re-model, however gradually and insensibly, the composition of the House of Lords. The views of these men are, fortunately, palpable as they are reckless. They want but to make that illustriOus assembly, which ought to be, and would be, in its natural working, a power conservative of the Church and Throne, an instrument of assault upon the constitution of the Monarchy—an instrument for carrying on that " safe and unflinching course of Reform," in which it appears, from their weekly manifesto, they are more resolute than ever to " persevere," but of which, when we come to inquire the characteristics, we can nowhere find them but in the declared principles of that professed desperado, Mr. Leader, whom Westminster rejected, and whom the King'S Ministers eagerly supported, proclaim ing his cause to be their own: the principle; of which Mr. Leader, so adopted by the Melbourne Ministers, are, the Ballot, Universal Suffrage, short Parliaments, and an elective House of Lords. If the Melbourne Ministers, therefore, wish to put forth illustrations to the country of the preference entertained for their " safe and unflinching" policy, they can do no better than reprint, for public instruction, the state of the poll for each successive hour of the last election for the metropolitan city, with the speeches of their victorious adversary and of their beaten ally. If they wish moreover, to pourtray in faithful colours the rapid increase of that " strength" on which they rely so confidently, we recommend them to copy from last week's journals of the House of Commons the names of those Members who voted on their favourite mea- SUIV• of Church-rates, whereby they had flattered themselves with the prospect of chaining the Dissen ters to their car ; and we beg them not to forget the magnificence of their majority of five on that auspi cious question.—Times. In the Court Circular of last night we perceive the following announcement, which may, we suppose, be regarded as conclusive upon the further permission to be given by Government to a system upon which we had hoped an experience of two years of its injurious, cruel, and immoral effects, and some returning feeling of national pride, would have made the present Cabi net pause. It is said that—" At the Council, on Sa turday, an Order in Council for continuing for one year more the permission granted to British subjects to engage in the service of the Queen of Spain was passed." The die then is once more cast, and recruit ing for the British Legion is to be openly countenanced for another year. All the distressing reports from the unfortunate dupes themselves, who, in a foreign land, had experienced only tire greatest unkindness—the con vincing proofs of the inefficiency and depravity of a force so raised—the deprecations of all Europe, and all the considerations of national degradation and military dis grace which the whole history of this force presents, ap pear to have utterly failed, and the same course is to be again pursued ! For thus it would seem that the whole of the deceptive movements on the part of Gen. Evans and the Queen's army in the north of Spain have be intended, without gaining a single inch of really tenable ground, or at all bettering the condition of the revolutionary cause in those parts—the Madrid government has contrived, and successfully by giving to the British legion a momentary eclat, to impose upon the authorities in Downing-street, or at least to appear to justify them in a further continuance of an impolitic and perilous course. But, if Lord Palmerston has suffered himself to be deceived, we can assure him that the English public is not so, and that they feel, as they have always expressed, disgust at a c ontinuance in a course which hardly aims at any thing effective, and has certainly never succeeded in accomplishing for any party or any principle anything bent; fi cial.—Morning TUE ARETllUSA.—CaptainChamfer ' s new novel has been pronounced equal to the finest story of the sea ever written.

Thursday an inquest was held at the Dog Tavern, Holywell-street, Strand, before Mr. Higgs and a respectable Jury, on view of the body of Mr. James Weigh, aged 72, a master boot and shoe maker, residing in that street. It ap peared, from the evidence of Henry Edwards, a private watch man attending in Holywell-street, that on Wednesday night, between 10 and 11 o'clock, he met the deceased in a state of intoxication, and with his assistance he got home. George Sellick, who had worked for the deceased for the last eighteen years, left his master in good health and sober about seven o'clock, and on knocking the following morning, about eight, to obtain admission, he received no answer, and suepectiag something to be wrong, he broke a pane of glass in a window at the back of the premises, and got in ; he immediately saw his unfortunate employer stretched on the stairs, quite stiff and cold, with his head almost doubled" under his body ; two sur geons were in immediate attendance, but the deceased had been dead for some hours. By the Jury—He was very much addicted to drinking, and came home drunk almost every night. Mr. Bennett, a neighbour of the deceased, deposed to the intoxicated habits of the deceased for many years past; he always dreaded that he would die of some accident occasioned by his incurable intemperance. Mr. Turner, who lives next door to the deceased, heard a fall that morning, about three o'clock, and Mr. Weigh cry out, Oh, God ! oh, Lord !" and then set to and Swear ; but it was so usual that he took no notice of it. Mr. Shiel, surgeon, of Norfolk street, gave it as his opinion that he died of apoplexy, brought on by intoxication, and the Jury returned a verdict to that effect. On Saturday an inquest was held at the Spread Eagle, Millbank, on view of the body of William Sommers. Reed 19, w h o h a d f or man y y ear s cre dit a bly filled the office of "''Jack of the Water" at Westminster-bridge-stairs. It ap peared from the evidence of James Pocock, a servant of Sir Robert Sidney, of Palace-yard, that on Saturday week he was standing at Westminster-bridge-stairs when he saw a boat without any person in it go adrift, and the deceased, who was quite tipsy, get into another boat and follow it. He rowed a few yards, When he stood up and immediately fell backwards; but, soon recovering himself, he rowed on again, and succeeded in catching the other bout. He then got off his seat, and staggering towards the h ea d o f hi s b oat , h e f e ll over b oar d an d sun, but almost instantly rose again, and struggled for a few seconds, and then sank to rise no more. Witness immediately gave the alarm, and in about two minutes a boat passing under the bridge, he accompanied the watermen to the spot, where they picked up his hat, but could see nothing of the body. The drags were procured, and they dragged for half-au-hour, but without success. In his opinion the accident would not have happened if the unfortunate " Jack" had been sober. Matthew Parry, a labouring man, stated that he was walking along the banks on Friday morning, when he perceived a body floating, and with a stick brought it to the shore. The Thames police boat passing at the time, one of them recognised it us that of the deceased, and it was immediately conveyed to the Spread Eagle. Verdict—" Accidental Death." In Mr. Mackenzie's Manual of the Weather, pub lished in 1832, we find the following passage :—" The years corresponding with the 1782 and 83, are 1836 and 37. In the former pair of years, the first summer and the last winter had by far the greatest proportion of the falls, the cold ex ceeding upon the first summer ; on the contrary, in the last pair of years, the greatest falls are upon the first winter and the last summer ; the cold being excessive upon both the sum mers of the pair, but more particularly severe upon the last, or summer of 1837, a season which promises to exceed in cold, rain, snow, frost, any summer within the last 500 years. It will, therefore, behove the rulers of the land, of all ranks, as well as the public at large, to be as well prepared for this severe visitation of nature as circumstances will permit—for not only arc these years exceedingly unfavourable, but the year 1838 is equally unpromising ; consequently this, and the following year of 1839, will form a period of distressing privation, since upon these two last the deficiency of the years 1837 and 1838 will fall with greatest effect." We understand an investigation is at present in progress respectinf , the abstraction of money from letters be tween Janetown and Lochalsh, in Ross-shire. The practice has been carried on for some time, but has hitherto baffled de tection. In consequence of a bank-note fur 20/., which had been sent in a letter that never reached it: destination being offered for change, a clue has been obtained, and it is said that one of the runners, a simple looking lad, who had never been suspected, has absconded from the country. —lnverness Couriar. Early during the present spring, a hen, belonging to a peculiar breed of poultry kept in the' pleasure-grounds of Earl Fitzwilliam, at Wentworth House, hatched a brood of seven chickens ; and then, like many other unnatural mothers, she deserted the little outcasts, and abandoned them to their f a te. But when their cruel mother forsook them, their father took them under his gracious protection, and has since that period performed the two-fold part of a most affectionate father 4nd mother.

B. , his Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, from Alexander Turnbull, Esq., his Majesty's Consul at Marseilles, dated May 8, 1837, containing a notice relative to the erection of a new light-house near Antibes, of which the following is a translation : DMINISTKATION OF BRIDGES, ROADS, LIGIIT-HOUSES, AND LIGHTS. NOTICE TO MARINERS, Light-house of La Garouppe . or of Antibes (Department of the Var.) Mariners arc informed that from and after the Ist of July next a fixed light will be exhibited, during the whole night, from the tower which has just been constructs d on the penin sula of La Garouppe, one mile and a half to the south of An tibes. near the chapel of Notre Dame de la Garde (by 43. 33. 51. lat., and 4. 47. 44. cast long. Meridian of Paris.) The light apparatus will be placed at twenty-five metres above the ground, and will be one hundred and three metres above the level of the sea. This lighthouse will be visible in dear weather at the dis tance of seven marine leagues. Mariners steering for Antibes from the eastward will sae at the same time, as they approach Villafranche, the fixed light of the tower at that port (situated by 43. 40. 30. let., and 4. 59. 26. east long.), the intermitting light at the entry of the port of Antibes (situated by 43. 35. 10. lat., and 4. 47. 31. east long.), and the fixed light of the Qarouppc ; bat this last-named light-house alone will be seen by mariners ap proaching by the south and south west, until they have doubled the Peninsula.

On the night of Wednesday last, the inmates of Grove House, Hornsey, were much alarmed under the follow ing singular circumstances :—Shortly after the family had re tired to rest, the footman, who slept in the pantry, below stairs, went up to his master and told him he thought that thieves were about the premises, as he had heard footsteps on the gravel walk at the back of the house. His master immedi ately arose, and, arming himself with a pair of pistols, he gently opened a back window and listened. Presently a step was heard, and an object was indistinctly seen amongst the foliage of the shrubbery. The gentleman immediately de manded who was there ? but no answer being returned, he threatened to fire, and, after a pause, discharged one of the pistols. The shot took effect, for the fall of a heavy substance, accompanied by a loud groan was heard. The gentleman, ex claiming " Good God, I hope I have not killed any one !" in stantly ran down stairs, accompanied by his servant, and on reaching the spot, they discovered—not a depredator of the genus homo—but a large rough donkey, which had broken from the lane into the shrubbery. The unfortunate " neddy," which belonged to a poor woman in the neighbourhood, was quite dead, and Mr. R. generously gave the poor woman two sovereigns to purchase another. If we examine the ways of an infant, we shall cease to wonder at those of an infant civilization. Long before we can engage the curiosity of the child in the History of Eng land—long before we can induce him to listen with pleasure to our stories even of Poictiers and Cressy—and (a fortiori) long before he can be taught an interest in Magna Charta'and the Bill of Rights, he will, of his own accord, question us of the phenomena of nature—inquire how he himself came into the world—delight to learn something of the God we tell him to adore—and find in the rainbow and the thunder, in the meteor and the star, a thousand subjects of eager curiosity and reverent wonder. The why perpetually torments him ;—every child is born a philosopher I—the child is the analogy of a people yet in childhood.—Bulwer. - - - BRUSSELS, MAY 24.—A letter from Blankenbercr of the 20th of May, says :—" Yesterday morning►, while the tide was coming in, there was driven on the coast, opposite the village of Knocke, the whole right side of a man-of-war, of 20 guns, which is 120 feet long, and 20 feet deep. The stern is marked with the letters D. C. H.' It seems that this por tion of a vessel, shipwrecked long since, was at the bottom of the sea, and has been sent up by the continual agitation of the waves. No other writing or mark has been found in the tim ber, but a piece of iron has the letters 13. C.' It is not known whence this fragment comes. Others wish it might be possible to get up other parts of the ship." On Thursday a melancholy accident occurred on the Southampton Railway. Some men employed on the works near Goldworth Woking, suspending their work during a shower, had taken shelter under the projecting piece of the earth they were excavating, when it suddenly gave way, and killed one man on the spot; another was dreadfully maimed, and survived only a few hours. The name of the latter is George Paine, who had not been employed more than a week previous to the catastrophe. The former, a native of King ston, has left a wife and three children. A sporting schoolmaster, a few days since, bought a dog of the pointer breed, but the animal, or, a fair trial, not possessing the necessary qualifications, was returned by the purchaser, accompanied by a note, quaintly stating that " the dog knew nothing of punctuation !" We are sorry to state that intelligence has just reached Devizes, by express, of a fire at Haxton, near Nether avon. When the messenger left twelve cottages were burning, with no prospect of stopping the progress of the flames. The greatest apprehension is entertained for the fate of the village. How the fire was occasioned we could not ascertain : but un derstand that it commenced near the pound, and had extended to the public house.—Devizes Gazette. A dreadful accident occurred near South Petherton to a poor man who was riding in his coal-cart, which was heavily laden. He was supposed to have been sleeping, when the cart, passing over a stone, caused him to lose his balance; he was precipitated under the wheel, and in a moment his bowels and head were crushed in pieces. He has left six small children to deplore his untimely end.—Bath Herald. A specimen of the extremely rare British visitant the Hoopoe (Epupa epops) was killed on the 13th instant in the neighbourhood of Ponirhdyrun, Monmouthshire. The bird was a male in fine plumage, and was seeking food in a moist meadow on the Avon Llwyd.—Shrewsbury Chronicle. On its being known at Inverness and its neighbour hood that Mr. Ellice was returned Member fur Huddersfield, every one, young and old, assembled, and soon collected a splendid bonfire upon an eminence, from which it was seen by the most of the country. It was delightful to sec with what cheerfulness and spirit old men and infirm women carried bur dens of wood to the place of mirth, where there was no want of mountain dew.—lnverness Courier. Within the last few days, several of the labouring population from the villages in the neighbourhood of Lynn have come to Ipswich for the purpose of emigrating to Canada. . - . Last week, as two gentlemen were exercising some Spaniels near Prestwick Carr, they made a dead stand at a spot from which they would not attend to their master's call. On examination they found them engaged with two fox cubs amongst a tuft of furze, which had been isolated during the long continuance of wet weather, where they had reposed secure during the hunting season. The following is a list of viands provided by their dam :—Thirty goslings, three leverets., three rabbits, two bald coots, one large eel, and the remains of a hen pheasant. Since the death of a thatcher named John Long, who died, at Bury, Suffolk, about a fortnight since, upwards of 2001. have been found secreted in the roof, the wall, the floor, and other parts of the house; since which .151. has been found in the bed-tick, and several sovereigns in the chair-seats, &c.—Su folk Chronicle. On Friday last, the workmen employed in digging the foundations of the new wing of the Kent and Canterbury Hospital, on the site of the ancient monastery of St. Augus tine, struck a pickaxe into a leaden substance. On closer examination it appeared to be of considerable size, and great care was taken to remove the earth so as to lift the whole mass. It proved to be a coffin of lead, in a good state of pre servation. It was conveyed into the Hospital, to be disposed of according to the directions of the ,Managing Committee. The coffin is about six feet two inches in length, and little more than eighteen inches in breadth at the widest part—the head projecting in a straight line from the trunk, as in the human body. It does not appear to have been inclosed in wood. A stone, which on being touched crumbled to dust, lay on the breast, and probably bore the name and date of the death of its possessor. The weight of the superincumbent earth bad pressed the leaden covering on the corpse, and the situation of the knee bones, one of the feet, and the bone cf nose were plainly visible. Through a small apertnro near the mouth the teeth were seen; and the sligil, whioh is of a deep brown, was exposed.

BRADFORD MARKET.—NO alteration for the better could be discovered here on Thursday last, and goods could not be sold scarcely at any price. It is feared that, with out a speedy elteration and amendment, this town and neighbourhood will soon present a most unexampled scene of poverty and distress. Excepting that the banks are more stable, everything has quite as bad an appearance es in 1825 or 1826. At Huddersfield Market, on Tuesday, there were few buyers, and very little business was done. Halifax Market, on Saturday, was rather better than on some recent market-days, so far as relates to the quantity of goods sold, but it was generally understood that. lower prices were submitted to. PONTEFRACT WOOL MARKET.—On Sunday last the first of the annual series of wool marKets took place at Pontefract. Very little wool was produced, and the de =lids of the growers ‘I ere so extravagant as to deter the few buyers present from purchasing. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MAY 22.—There har not been many buyers in the market to-day ; and very little business of any kind has been done. Those who We been under the necessity of selling must have done so at a considerable loss. The wool market has also been very slack, and the prices somewhat lower than last week. LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, Ilitr 27.
