FURTHER PARTICULARS. in preserving quiet and good order, whioh up to the present momert every where prevails. His Excellency on the follow ing morning (Friday) ordered a telegraphic call of the Coun cil for Monday next. These, as far as we can learn, are the principal occurrences which took place during the gale, and the results of that awful and severe visitation which has thus, by the decree of a wise Providence, been made to fall upon us at a crisis of consi derable difficulty, and when the inhabitants of this island have scarcely recovered from the effects of the August hurricane. But God's will be done ! It is our duty to bow with perfect submission to his inscrutable decrees, revere the hand from whence these heavy chastisements come, and kiss the rod that corrects us. (From the West Indian, September 14.) Thank God ! news has reached us of the arrival of the steamer Spitfire at Grenada, without the loss of any of the crew, or any human injury having been sustained. We have been most opportunely and politely favoured with a letter, dated Grenada, September 6, from an officer of the steamer Spitfire, giving a minute account of what that vessel suffered from the commencement of the storm to her arrival in Grenada. We cannot do better than publish this valuable do cument verbatim : • " At 8, A.M. ' , of the morning of the 3d instant the weather assumed a threatening appearance, with the wind from the N. E. H.M. ship Champion arrived with despatches for Capt. Jones, and sailed about 8-45. At 9.30 the Commander ordered the fires to be lighted; the symthometer fell very fast, and eventually eleven-tenths. Several mail boats slipped and stood out to sea. At 10-30 the anchor came home ; at 11, A.M., slipped the cable and stood out to sea ; 11-15 the dingy was blown from the stern, and the gig swamped and washed from the davits—the cutter stove and washed in board. The wind veered round to the southward and westward ; the sea break ing over the vessel ; hove -the coals overboard that were lying on deck to ease the vessel. : 1, p. ni. still blowing a hurri cane, the main trysaill jib, and forestaysail were blown from the bolt ropes : ship labouring very much ; the forestrysail was blown from the gaskets ; the maintrysail gaff carried away. At 4, p.m., the mainmast went below the deck, falling across the larboard quarter, without the slightest accident to any of the crew ; the carpenter had gone forward for his axe, but before he returned the mast was bedded in the ship's side. The lining of the vessel was broke in several placis by the violence of the sea. The centre boiler become leaky, and the engineers had to put out the fire, which impeded our progress. Had the other boilers sustained similar injury, we must inevitably have been lost, as the seas were making a clean break over. us ; we had all our hatches battened down, and still it required the exertions of the men to pump the water out. About 6,,p: m., the weather moderated, and at 8 the night assumed a beautiful appearance with a moderate breeze. Some time before leav i9g Carlisle Bay, the spray from the sea flew so thick that *e could not discern the length of the vessel. When we slipped we had three bumboat people on board, Toby Blackman, William Carden, and Deborah Lopez, who are now on shore at this place, waiting a passage to Barbadoes. " A brig arrived this afternoon, and was off Barbadoes yes terday ; she experienced heavy squalls on the 3d, with the wind from the eastward, but nothing more ; she was then about 180 miles to the N. E. of Barbadoes. ".On the morning otthe 3d, several of the inhabitants pre dicted that it would blow hard to the northward and eastward, or that they would have heavy rain. " The inhabitants of this island are talking of sending over a cargo of yams, and I have heard that the subscription raised for Antigua is net to be given until they know the extent of the loss at Barbadoes.

A double range of them on the eastern edge presented a very singular spectacle. There has not been a similar appearance since the year 1830.—ReadingMercuay. DISTRESSING SUICIDE.—On Friday evening, about eleven o'clock, considerable alarm was created in High-street, Glasgow, by the report of a pistol in the house of Mr. Ewing, victualler, opposite Bell-street ; and on in quiry it was found that Mr. Ewing had shot himself. For some time past Mr. Ewing believed that a certain indivi dual, now or formerly a flasher in town, had obtained an influence over his wife,,the mother of four children, and his complaints on the subject made his position the more intolerable. Sometime ago he left the house, and was about to establish himself in another business, for which purpose he wished to obtain a part of his property. He had been on Friday in consultation with some friends on the subject, and had gone to the shop to obtain an interview with Mrs. Ewing, who was at the time in company with the object of his suspicions ; but after sending several times for her, she refused to make her appearance, upon which he committed the dreadful deed.—Scots Tinges. HOW TO , PRESERVE APPLES.—Thinking that the following observations on this subject might be of ad vantage to some of our readers, we have copied them from the Massachussetts' Agricultural Repository, an American publication :—" It is the practice of some persons to pick apples in October, and first spread them on a floor of an upper room. The practice is said to render apples more durable, by drying them. But I can affirm this to be a mistake. Apples, after remaining so long on the trees as safety fmm the frost will admit, should be taken directly from the trees to close casks, and kept as dry and as cool as possible. If suffered to 1i6 . 0n the floor for weeks, they wither and lose, their flavour, without acquiring any addi tional durability. The best mode of preserving apples for spring use I have found to be the putting them in dry sand as soon as picked. For this purpose I dry sand in the heat of the summer, and late in October put down the apples in layers, with a covering of sand upon each layer. The sin gular advantages of this mode of treatment are these :- 1. The sand keeps the apples from the air, which is essen tial to their preservation. 2. The sand checks the evapo ration of the apples, thus preserving their full flavour ; at the same time any moisture yielded by the apples (and some there will be) is absorbed by the sand, so that the apples are kept dry, and all mustiness is prevented. My pippins in May and June are as fresh as when first picked, .even the ends of the stems look as if just separated from the twig." VICISSITUDES OF WEDLOCK.—A person living at a town in the west, has married several wives, with not one of whom he has had the good fortune to agree. It so happened, however, that he was not troubled with them long ; in a few months, at most, and sometimes a few weeks only, they sickened and died. This appearinc , to be a general rule, he took care to get • one underhand, ready to supply the place of the last defunct. Acting on this principle a few months since No. 4 or 5, we don't know which, died, and a few days after her successor was 'taken home. But now came an exception to the above general rule. It was our hero's turn now to get sick, and his rib so far improved on his example as not only to look out for another bed-fellow, but to gather up the little' money which she could lay her hand on, with which she purchased a license, and got married a few days since—Benedict being not only still alive, but . convales cent.—Cornivall Gazette. • HORRID MURDER.—A most diabolical ,murder was committed on Friday last at Old Dalby, in Leicester shire. Two young men, sons of small farmers, named Turner and Wells, had been drinking, when Turner became quarrelsome, and wanted to fight. Wells refused to do so, and soon afterwards they separated, when Turner waylaid Wells, and, at a short distance from the village, be fell upon him and brutally murdered him. The villain was shortly afterwards apprehended, with alarge quantity of blood upon his clothes. An inquest has since been held, and a verdict of " wilful murder" returned against Turner, who has been committed to Leicester gaol to take his trial for the offence. —Lincoln 'Gazette.

On Wednesday, the seven young men who were ,q crested on.the 30th of July, for uttering seditious cries, asl they were passing through Neuilly on their way to join the , regiments to which they were appointed in the Depart men.t of the Eure, having been drawn for the army, were brotrt to trial before the Court of Assizes. Several wit nesses deposed that they sung " Chant du Depart," cld ing the words " La Republique regnera," and also shouted "A. bas Roi ! A Las Neuilly 1" but other witnesses hay- in. declared that the seditious expressions were not used, the Jury gave credit to the latter, and acquitted all the prisoners. MAlDSTONE. —Michaelmas Fair took place on Saturday, and the weather being particularly favourable, a great number of persons came into the town, and in some departments of trade considerable business was done. The hop market was very dull, scarcely any sales taking place on the first day, and but few on Monday. In the horse fair there were a great many colts, but the Inajority were very inferior. Buyers were very scarce, and consequently little business was done. The total absence of choice nags excited considerable surprise. On Pcnenden Heath, where the stock fair takes place,, there was a much shorter sup ply than usual of Welsh beasts, but trade was good, and almost every thing was cleared off. There were a few pens of sheep, of which the best sorts went off at good prices.— Kent Herald. EFFECTS OF TOBACCO ON LOBSTERS.—During the recent gales, a large ship from Demerara, bound to Liverpool, was driven on shore on the Isle of AnglesQa. The crew were saved by the life-boat, but the ship soon went to pieces, and tobacco, with which she was principally laden . , was washed among the crevices of the rocks, usually P i°.d by ge nerations of lobsters ; these took to chewing ctchuevy e 3d and the next morning the beach was strewed with the poor creatures, some of them weighing 10Ibs., all unable to craoil. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, OCT. 22.—The sales since Friday ;mount to 14,000 bags, of which 2,500 were sold to-day ; prices are lowered id. per lb. The arri vals are 6 vessels frora the United States, 2 from Brazil, Liberals. Tories. 1,119 1,111 Oversees's Lisle, 1835 1,140 1,110 After Revision BRIGHTON REGISTRATION.—The Whig party in this borough, and those Reformers who desire the aboli tion of existing abuses, without risking the greater evils of tumult and anarchy, have, in the Registration just ended, well vindicated their claim to respect as sincere and honest politicians. They neither took a single objection, nor op posed the allowance of any man's claim. The ungracious task of objecting was divided between the Tories and Messrs. Slight and Faithful. 'Upon the objections taken by the Tories, we shall not waste a moment in commenting. The Tories ever opposed the Reform Bill, and it was - to be ex pected that they would limit, as much as their means would allow, the extent of its operation. Better things were, however, to be expected from such Ugiversal Suffrage men as Messrs. Slight and Faithfull ; and we shall, therefore canvass the objections taken by them.—Brighton Guardian, REGISTRATION OF WEST SOMERSET=- The. Registration of West Somerset ,has at length been most industriously, fairly, and calmly completed ; and how o.qes the constituency stand ? Precisely in the same condition as it did after the passing of the Reform Bill. West Somerset can only be represented by Liberal members. The property of Western Somerset is more subdivided than that of any other county in the West of England. One thousand acres of land in Taunton Deane, is worth five thousand in the higher part of Dorsetshire, or on the Wilt shire Downs ; hence, therefore, amongst the landed pro prietors, as they are more numerous than in less fertile counties, so are they less liable to be swayed by the influ ence, or led by the opinion of any particular man. In Dor setshire, the Squire would be cut dead if he differed from my Lord in opinion, for there every great man is a planet , either a Jupiter, Saturn, cr Herschel, with his Moons ; and, as these satellites accompany their planet in his tour, woe unto any unfortunate wight who would impede their progress. The landholders of Somerset, however, may be likened to the twinkling stars, of which we see so many every clear evening, and. hich, according to the rules of astronomy, are themselves independent suns of other sys tems of planets.--Sherburne Journal. A sow belonging to Mr. Collington, of the Barley Sheaf, Hinckley, last week farrowed a litter of twenty one pigs ! A large number of. new Whig claimants have been inserted on the Denbighshire Register, but very few by the Tories, with the exception of the Choristers of St. Asaph. POVERTY.—On Saturday evening a young man out of employ, aged about 23 years, named William Beer, son of a shepherd at Dover, poisoned himself. We could not learn any cause that prompted the unfortunate man to commit the dreadful act but poverty. He was living with his father on a very scanty parochial pittance , his aged pa rent being ill and unable to attend to his own employment. —Kent Herald. The Angel Inn at Oxford, which has had her Majesty for its guest, will in future be called the Queen's Hotel. The Luxor, towed by the steamer Pilotin, arrived last week at Rouen, deeply laden • with the granite for the base of the obelisk. She is waiting for the waters to rise to come to Paris, where probably, after discharging her cargo, she will be broken up. ANSTRUTHER.—The fishermen upon this coast have, for a considerable time, been annoyed at the fishing ground by immense shoals of dog-fish, which lizive increased in such numbers that for the last two or three days the greater part of the boats have not put to sea. The hooks on the haddock lines have either been seized by the dogs, or the haddocks previously hooked were so torn and de stroyed, that they were unfit for the market.—Edinburgh Observer. A great deal of attention has been excited by the ap pearance of a prospectus of a Company to cut a canal which will unite the Danube and Maine, and complete a water communication traversing the whole of Europe from the German Ocean, through the Rhine, the Maine, and the Danube, to the Black Sea, and, by means of the Karlowtz canal, now forming in the Austrian States, from the Danube in Hungary to the Adriatic. This great yet practicable undertaking will commence on the Danube, near Kelheim, and pass through Nuremburg to the Maine at Bamberg. GIN VERSUS BREAD.—In High-street, Blooms bury, there are seven gin shops, and but two bakers ! From High Holborn to the corner of Gray's Inn-lane there are twenty-seven . public houses, and seven bakers' shops only ! From the corner of Gray's Inn-lane, Holborn, to 'King's road (not quite a quarter of a mile), there are twelve gin shops, and but two bakers' shops 1. .! In Saffron-hill there are eight gin shops within the space of 200 yards, and but three bakers ! Bishopsgate-street and Tottenham-court road present the same preponderance of gin houses over bakers' shops. IMPROVEMENT OF THE CONDITION OF THE WORKING CLASSES. —Yesterday a vestry meeting of the inhabitants of St. Clement Danes, in the Strand, was held, in compliance with a requisition most respectably signed, for the purpose of considering the important question, whether any and what efforts could be made to induce habits of industry, prudence, and economy, among the working classes of the parish. The chair was filled by the senior churchwarden, Mr. Lacey. On the motion of Mr. Edie, seconded by Mr. Prout, it was resolved to ap point a committee to consider the subject, and to make a report at a future vestry. SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION.—Tuesday. night, between nine and ten o'clock, thick volumes of smoke were seen issuing from the rooms occupied as counting-houses, &c., by Mr. Mulholland, Water-street. It was found, on examination, that a quantity of cotton, with which the warehouseman had been in the habit of cleaning the lamps from time to time, and which had been all thrown together in an old coal-scuttle, had spontaneously ignited. The fire had communicated to some casks of goods which lay close by, and, but for the fortunate and timely discovery which took place, it is probable that a considerable quantity of property would have been destroyed. As it was, the fire was quickly extinguished.—Liverpool Mercury. ORANGEISINI.—The more one reads of, and reflects upon, the proceedings and acts of the Orange Association in this country, the greater becomes the astonishment that any Government, professing to govern by any thing like law or justice, or to maintain order in the country, should have suffered an institution to exist, which, under the mask of extreme loyalty, was continually engaged in contention and strife with,the constituted authorities, and characterized by " an insolent contempt of all subordination." That the Orangemen persecuted their fellow-countrymen in the North, " wrecked" their habitations, and pursued them to and 1 from Bombay. DEER STEALING. The party that attacked. Brockhampton Park, on the morning of the Bth of Sep— tember, consisted of seven men, part of a desperate and notorious gang of deer and sheep stealers, residing in the vicinity of Wychwood Forest, who go with horses and carts great distances in their predatory excursions ; they came in differept parties, and met near the Park, at one o'clock in the morning, and were not satisfied with killing three deer, but made two attempts unsuccessfully to take more. They have all, excepting one, been before con vcted. The two Claridgas, alias Prattlys, Melton, and Sherborne, were apprehended a few nights afterwards.— . banishment and murder, are facts which have . been long no - torious ; but we owe to the investigation of the Comrinttee of the House of Commons appointed to inql lire into' the nature and tendency of the system, that these f 'acts' are now so established and recorded, that Orancr ' eism and crime have become synonymous, whatever the fools, fa natics, and hypocrites who are enrolled under it may say to ' the con trary. We have lived to see the day when the l mast and swagger of being an Orangeman, so far from being a re commendation, is a bar to office ; and we trust the time is not distant when to be a member of an Associatiot' of so dangerous a character will not only be an incapacity t o re ceive, but also to retain, any office, place, or commia sion under the Crown. The confederation must not only be discountenanced, but dispersed. Its existence is incomPti tible with the rcpose or safety of the country.--Souther,'. Reporter. It is said that Morey is about to be sent to a mason de sante. Fieschi continues to manifest a desire to make revelations. On Tuesday the President of the Court of Peers, accompanied by the Procureur-General, and one of the Secretaries, went to the Conciergerie. The conference was a long one, but the result cannot be known. It is also stated that Fieschi is in a state of mind approaclting to insanity. Cheltenham Chronicle. PoRTSMOuTir, OCT. 2:l—Yesterday being the anniversary of the Battle of Traililgar, the officers of his Majesty's ship Victory gave a splendid dinner on the occa sion to several Naval Officers and friends. On the health of the surviving heroes of that glorious day being drunk, Captain Badeock, R.N. (the only officer present who was in that action), made the following short and appropriate speech :—" Gentlemen—This is the 30th anniversary of the battle of Trafalgar, and perhaps the last that will ever be commemorated on board the old Victory, as she is going to he laid up after a service of nearly seventy years, and hav ing fought in several of England's most glorious naval battles. England is now in a state of peace, but should she again be plunged in war, may we all remember the sigma) of that most gallant chief who fell in the hour of vic tory on the quarter-deck of this ship, ' England expects every man will do his duty.' Mr. President and Gentle men, I have . or myself and those, survivors who fought on that day to rctur'ri you thanks for the honour you have done us in drinking our :icalths." SHIPS IN ORDINARY.—Ships laid up in ordi nary are stripped of all their - rigging and guns—stores and other contents are taken on si'll?re. The men and officers are all paid off, except the hoeswain, gunner, carpenter, and cook, and six ordinary seamen. The ships are moored. by large chains of iron, sixty fathoms lo.ng, consisting of one hundred and twenty links , and having al`• each end a large anchor. The chains are stretched across the harbour (the Hamoaze';, and the anchors sunk in the mud. In the middle of each chain is a large e iron ring and a swivel, iv w hic h are: attached two thick cales, called bridles, sufficiently long to be taken on board the ship to be moored. The bridles, when not in use, are constantly sunk, a small cable being fastened to them, which is brought up to a buoy on the surface of the water, and there .made fast ; when wanted the ends are easily hauled up by means of a buoy-rope, and are then passed through each of the ship's hawse-holes, and fasteLed on board. By the bridles being fastened to the same swivel, the ships swing easily with the tide, which runs amazingly strong, especially the ebb, with the wind at north ; at these; times no boat can make bead against it. In Hamoaze are nearly one huntlred of these moorings, each capable of hold ng a line-of-battle ship.—Stanfield's Coast Scenery. CORONER'S INQUEST.—STAGE-COACH ACCl- CENT.—Yesterdav an inquest was held at Charing-cross Hospital, before Sir. Higgs , on v ie w of the bod y of James Levy, aged eight years. Mr. James Rockliffe, plumber and glazier, of No. 33, Great Wild-street, Lincoln's-inn-fields, on Monday afternoon was looking out of his first floor win don', when_ he saw a Dulwich stage pass up the street, andi saw the deceased climb up behind, in doing which he be-. came entangled in the off wheel. The screams of the poor child caused several persons who were passing at the time to call out to the driver to stop, which he immediately did, and then the unfortunate boy .was extricated, being in an insensible and mutilated state. The Jury returned a ver dict of " Accilental Death."—Deodand, ss. On Friday afternoon, a rather interesting young woman, daughter of R. Campbell, arrived at the Broomielaw from Tarbert, where she had been residing for some time with her friends, in consequence of her father's second oar riagc. Having, however, been seized with the rose in one of her legs, which had burst, and from which she was endat , ing the most excruciating pain, it was thought necessary that she should come to Glasgow, in order that prompt medical. treatment might be procured. Shortly after the arrival of the vessel at the Broomielaw, the steward waited upon the girl's father, and requested that he would have her removed. The intimation was, however, disregarded, and she was al lowed to remain on liat:l all night. On being refused shel ter under the paternal roof; the destitute girl was taken to the Police-office,' and from the,2ce to the Royal Infirmary,. where her sufferings were found a sufficient passport to ad mission, without the, intervention of a certificate.--Scots Times. BRUTAL OUTRAGE.-011 Saturday night week a disturbance took place amongst some of the lower classes its Stramongate. . Mr. Fawcett's son, who is the chief borough constable, proceeded to the spot, in order to quell the riot ; and the ringleader was taken prisoner. Mr. Fawcett, sen., then came up, and was in the act of stooping down, assisting his son to put hand-cuffs on the man, when a brother of the prisoner came suddenly behind, kicked him with savage violence, and laid him prostrate upon the ground. The ruf fian was immediately secured. Mr. Fawcett was carried. home in a most shocking state, having roceived a frightful injury in the lower part of the abdomen. He lingered in excruciating agony, although the most prompt medical aid. was immediately afforded him, until - Monday, when death put an end to his sufferincYs.—Blackburne Gazette. MURDER. -Wednesday afternoon, in a quarrel be tween William Wright, a shoemaker, and James Imrie, porter, in Fountain Close, High-street ; the latter received. a stab with a knife, or other sharp instrument, on the right side of the abdomen, which caused part of the entrails to obtrude. Imrie was carried by the Police to the ROyal Infirmary, and his case being reported dangerous, Wright has been taken into custody. He died on Friday, leaving a widow and one child unprovided for.—Edinburgh Ad. vertiser. COURT CIRCULAR. His Majesty will hold a Council on Wednesday at St. James's.

P.--We stated yesterday that Mr. Craw ford had been entertained at a public dinner last Wednes day at Bangor. About 220 gentlemen took their places at table, and a considerable number for want of room were forced to dine in another apartment, and join their friends after dinner. W. Pirie, Esq., was in the Chair. We regret that our limits preclude us from giving the sensible and spirited speeches delivered on the occasion. Mr. Crawford's address extended to great length, and was emi nently distinguished by truth, power, and eloquence. There are three candidates in the field for the Ame rican Presidential Chair—Mr. Van toren, Mr. Hugh L. White (the Judge), of Irish descent, and Mr. Webster. The probability is, that the democratical party will succeed in electing the first-named gentleman, who is at present Vice-President of the Union, and a very intimate friend of Gen. Jackson. SCARBOROUGH MUSEUM.--The visitors of Scar borough were gratified last week by the opening of ano ther ancient British cairn or tumulus. This was situated by the side of the high road from Filey, within a mile and a half of Scarborough, and contained the skeleton of a man, an urn with ashes, and a drinking-cup, also of .clay, both figured on the outside, a flint head of an arrow, and a hammer of vvhinstone. The body was crushed into a very small space, so that the knees nearly touched the chin. Mr. Gage, Vice-President of the Antiquarian Society, superintended the opening of the tumulus, and the Rev. Dr. Markham took a sketch of the appearance of the re mains as they lay, Dr. Murray and Mr. Dunn pointing out the position and names of the bones as they were suc cessively developed. The bones were so brittle as to fall to pieces immediately that they were exposed to the air and touched.—Hull Observer. WORCESTERSHIRE AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIA TION.-A general meeting of this Society was held on Sa turday last, at the Crown Inn, Worcester, at which Sir A. Lechmere presided. The object ,of the meeting was to take into consideration the propriety of addressing his Ma jesty relative to the present depressed state of the landed interest ; with which view resolutions had been prepared, tracing one of the principal causes of agricultural distress to the withdrawal of one and two pound notes. Upon these resolutions being submitted for adoption, considerable discussion took place, the principal speakers being Mr. Spooner, Mr. Robinson, M.P., and Captain Winnington, M.P. The former gentleman warmly contended that agri cultural distress and the cramping of the currency were in timately connected, as cause and effect ; and the two latter gentlemen maintained that the two subjects had no neces sary alliance, and that each ought to be considered upon its respective merits. Eventually, the original resolutions, as proposed by Mr. Spooner, were carried by a majority of • five to one. RESTORATION OF TYE TOMB AND MONU MENT OF SHAKSPEARE AT STRATFORD-ON-AVON.-Ad- ditional donations have been received during the last week by N. L. Torre, Esq., in aid of this undertaking, from the Earls of Eldon and Stamford, Lords Ward, Lyndhurst, and Brougham. It speaks highly in favour of this laudable project, that among other distinguished personages now enrolled in the list of subscribers, the three exalted indi- viduals who have successively filled the high station of Lord Chancellor of England are likewise of the number ; and it is a curious coincidence that their respective communica tions should have reached Mr. Torre nearly on the same day.—Leamington Spa Courier. The Tories have regularly got to work here, in con sequence of the passing of the. Municipal Bill. The walls arc placarded from one end of the town to the other with large bills, containing long columns of the names of persons inviting gentlemen to offer themselves as Town Councillors. Among the candidates selected by the Liberal party are not only Churchmen, but also individuals of every dissenting denomination in the town, while our political opponents' list contains nothing but High Church names.—Kent Herald. THE LINCOLN CONSERVATIVE AND GUARDIAN SOCIETY.—There is a society in Lincoln of the above title. It pretends to be of the nature of a benefit club ; but in this respect it reminds us of the celebrated " Christian" society of Shoreham, the real object being bribery. Thurs day week was a grand field day for this society, at Harry Cotton's, at the Bull's Head. Upwards of 100, we be lieve, attended ; and they proceeded to their " guardian" and " conservative' purposes. But what do our readers think those purposes were ? The support of our holy church ? Homage to our " amiable" Queen ? Not so— but obscenity so gross, and filthiness so abominable, that Harry, rho is not over nice as to these matters, could not and would not allow a single female to approach.—Lincoln Gazette. PELHAM, IN SHILLING 'NUMBERS.—We are rejoiced to find that the project of disseminating among all classes the entertaining knowledge with which the produc tions of our first modern Novelists abound, has been at- tended with the most triumphant success. Mr. Bulwer's racy production, " Pelham," is the work selected to take precedence in Mr. Colburn's cheap new " Library of En tertainment,' the third number of which now lies before us. To obtain this celebrated performance, entire in only six numbers, at the price of one shilling each, and finely em bellished, certainly leaves nothing to be desired. We wonder not at the popularity of good works of fiction, be cause they exhibit so extensive a knowledge of human na ture. The actual experience derived from such a delight ful source unquestionably renders the young better fitted for their pilgrimage through life. Hence it is that books of this description may be read again and again with profit and advantage. The late Charles Mathews had a great objection to being called, as he frequently was by the critics out of com pliment, "the greatest of living mimics.", It was literally poison to his ear (says a writer in the Court Magazine), and threw his faculties and feelings into a state of morbid excitement and disorder, which any other. species of criti cism, however severe, never called forth. MORNING WALKS.- , --TO a person in full vigour a good walk in the country before breakfast may be highly beneficial and exhilarating, while to an invalid or delicate person it will prove more detrimental than useful, and will induce a sense of weariness which will spoil the pleasure of the whole day. Many are deceived by the current practi cal praises of the freshness of the morning, and hurt them selves in summer by seeking health in untimely promenades. —Comb's Physiology. PARISH OF LAMBETH.—Yesterday a very nu merous meeting of the inhabitants of this extensive parish was held for the purpose of entering into a contract for the maintaining, clothing, and employing the poor. A great number of the most influential parishioners were present ; and the parish officers made a statement of an interview with the Poor-law Commissioners, in' which those gentle men refused to sanction a contract similar to the one now about to expire, as they considered it by far too lavish, and desired that any future contract should approach nearer to the scale of diet observed in the parish of St. George, Ha nover-square, where the total weekly cost for maintaining an able bodied pauper amounted only to ls. 3id. a week. An animated discussion followed this statement, in which the speakers expressed in the strongest terms their objec tion to such a reduction in the food of the poor as that proposed by the Commissioners, which they considered but an attempt to drive the poor from the workhouse by a sys tem of starvation. A number of resolutions were pro posed in this spirit, but not passed, the following only be ing adopted :—" That it be referred to the parish-officers to make such arrangements as they may think expedient for maintaining, clothing, and employing the poor for the next six months." . _ Mr. Thomas Barks, a young gentleman who arrived on Thursday from Nottingham, while listening to the band playine , in the Court=yard of St. James's Palace yesterday was robbed of his pocket-book, containing Bank-notes to the amount of 1401. He suspects that two men of gentlemanly Appearance, who contrived to engage him in close conversa tion, were the pickpockets. Considerable sensation has been excited by the sudden flight of a surveyor lately residing at Holbeach, and who was steward of the Bethlehem Hospital estates in the neighbourhood : a Court of Inquiry was held at Wainfleet on Thursday, which was very numerously attended, and it is reported that the delinquent's embezzlements amounted to little short of 20,0001. in addition to several forgeries which have been discovered. It is conjectured that he has pro ceeded ro France, to join Mr. Hudson, who lately absconded with a large sum belonging to the same hospital.—Boston Herald. PATIENCE OF A DOG.—The whole of last week a terrier dog was observed near the spout of a house at Gravesend, w hi c h h e never l e ft, day nor night, for eight days, living only on the food thrown to him by casual pas sengers. It appears that he chased a rat, which escaped up the spout, and this occasioned him to watch at the place for so long a time, until it was resolved to saw the spout, take it down, and drive the rat out, which the dog instantly killed, and then returned home. The Memorial de la Dordogne states that the prosperity of the manufactories at Lyons at this moment is unexampled. The orders from America are so large that it will be diffi cu lt t o execu te them, and wages are exces sively hi g h. Th e r ib an d t ra de at St. Etienne is also in a very flourishing condition. • , NEWLY-DISCOVERED COPPER MINES.—We learn from an int e lli gen t corres p on dent that there has lately been dis'overed on the property of Lord Dinorben, in the parish of Llanwenllwofo, Anglesea, and in the immediate neigh bourhood of the Parys and Mona Mines, a very rich vein of copper, It is in many parts almost in a pure state, and much purer than even the copper coinage of 1791 ; conse quently, a question will arise for the consideration of geo logists and others who feel pleasure in investigdting these matters, whether the secondary stratum in which it is found must not at some remote period have been acted upon by great and powerful heat, so as to dislodge the ore from the stone, and run it in a state of fusion into the form in which it is new found. The discovery is very seasonable, as the Parys and Mona mines, which have so long been a '7 v{,
