We have already stated, in a brief telegraphic report that an alarming explosion, through which on% man lost his life, occurred at the gas works, Rochdale-road, Man chester, on Thursday morning. It appears that a new exhauster had been erected within the last week, for the purpose of drawing off gas from the retorts, with which it was connected by a main about 70 yards in length and 18 inches in diameter. The exhauster had been tested on Wednesday with air, and from the result it was thought to be perfectly tight and safe. A full account of the disaster, given in the Man chester papers, shews that shortly before twelve on Thurs day the explosion took place near this exhauster. Immediately after the explosion the enginehouse was found to be filled with flames, the woodwork in the place and the doors being set on fire, and the flames swept in a most alarming manner up against the side of the ad joinirw gasometer, scorching and blistering it fearfully. The greatest consternation prevailed in the immediate vicinity of the explosion, and when the workmen had re covered their presence of mind immediate steps were taken to subdue the flames. An alarm was raised among the workmen that an old man, named Mark Clarke, of Gor- ton-street, Rochdale-road, a widower, and who had for many years been a servant of the corporation, at the gas works, was missing. He was said to have been - close to the exhauster at the time of the explosion, and when a search was made for him he was found buried under a heap of sand near to the exhauster, the flesh nearly all burnt off his body, and his head severed from the trunk. His remains were collected together, and removed from the place on a hurdle. Another labourer, named Frank Conway, of Parker-street, Rochdale-road, who had also been for some considerable time employed at the works, was blown by the force of the explosion for some distance, and was found to be so seriously injured that he had to be removed to the Royal Infirmary, where he now lies. adual disaPP e `, ll om currencl,_ A l it Bays, the frontiers the to; e being collecte: mtry, realizi tl g .ofitable affair . in the camp Wild be; bu t mbts destined to of the solid rock; with large ny' , Liles, are alr esal andred feet be' good account for n►i:ier.

"Both to the beginner and the proficient in that study this work will be invaluable."—Daily Telegraph. " It is illustrated with life-size figures from nature of each species, and of the more striking varieties, and it possesses great advantages over all similar works, inasmuch as the caterpillar of each moth. with his habits and season, is described. This, to collectors, will be an immense boon, and by its means they will be enabled to obtain many rare specimens."—Standard. "The completion of Mr. Newman' . work on the British Moths is a benefit to entomologists of all classes. It is at once a teat-book by a li!gh authority, most valuable for reference, and a handsome, taste fnliy got-up volume, which will be an ornament to any library or drawing-room table. It embodies the results of many years earnest and intelligent work by one whose reputation as an ento mologist deservedly stands high. . . . . We notice also with satisfaction that Mr. Newman's descriptions, whilst thoroughly scientific and minute, are given in plain and unaffected English. With the help of these and the very excellent woodcuts, even a very young collector may with ease identify any moth he may cap ture. The figures are so well drawn that there is no need of colour to render them life-like. . . . . NVo unhesitatingly commend this volume to our readers. We regard it as a very useful addition to our library." Land and Water, Oct. 5. London—W. TwERDIE. 337. Strand. W.O. G_REY HAIR, 248, High 14 olborn, London.-- ALE?.

A ROYAL SHOOTING PARTY.—His Royal High ness Prince Christian, accompanied by the Marquess of Lorne, Lord Methuen, and Lord Hardinge, left Windsor Castle yesterday morning, and proceeded to the Royal preserves in Windsor great park to enjoy a day's pheasant shooting. The London correspondent of the Scotsman says : " I can vouch for the fact that an Irish gentleman here, whose relatives in the beleaguered capital were in despair at not having heard from him, adopted the expedient of writing a very Hibernian epistle to Count Bismarck, in which he enclosed a letter addressed to his friends in Paris, ' and prayed the Chancellor - to failita its transmission to them. The appeal proved successful l, for a day or two ago the Irishman received per balloon post an answer to his letter." WINTER IN RITSSIA.—A. letter from St. Peters burg says :—" The winter is just beginning to set in in earnest ; the wet, cloudy weather of the last fort night being now replaced by a sharp frost and clear sky. Some of the weatherwise prophesy a hard winter ; and, in any case, the frost will be welcome to the southern provinces, which have been fearfully ravaged by cholera during the autumn. Letters from the Caucasus report that the epidemic has only just left Tiflis, and along the coast of the Black Sea it is said to be still prevalent." THE " ACADEMY."—At the conclusion of the first year of its existence, the publishing office of the Academy has been transferred from Mr. John Murray to Messrs. Williams and Norgate, in consequence of a difference of opinion between editor and publisher. The plan of the editor was from the first to offer no opinion on the truth or falsehood of religious beliefs, " not because we are in different to those questions, but because we considered we should be performing a more useful part by treating theology purely as a branch of learned literature." Mr. Murray, it appears, " did not call in question the fact of our theological neutrality, but disapproved of it." It appears that in consequence of this disapproval he has handed over the copyright of the Academy to the editor. — Newspaper Press. DOCTORS' FEES. -Dr. W. Ogle feels "the degra dation of the present system of charges for physic and attendance "as acutely as patients in general feel its oppressiveness. There are some points in the remedy which he proposes that will please the public even if they do not satisfy the practitioner. That time. honoured institution, the ' family doctor," is for the future to be considered and dealt with as a health officer whose duty it is to prevent disease. His ordinary services should be acknowledged by the payment of an annual (indefinite) sum, irrespective of the number of his visits, and having no proportion whatever to the amount of physic given. Under the term " ordinary service " should be included, not only all preventive work (the nature of which is not indication by Dr. Ogle), but all attendance in time of sickness made at the doctor's discretion and convenience. If a patient wants medical aid at night, or on Sundays, or at inconvenient hours, then he must be ready to pay extraordinary fees. 'Dr. Ogle intimates that he has tried this plan, and found it answer ; but, as there are two parties to the transaction, it would be as well to have the expe rience of the patients also before pronouncing upon its merits. There might arise a nice question as to the liability of the patient for these extraordinary pay ments, if he could shew that his sudden summons to the doctor was caused by the latter not having done his " preventive work" effectually. We are quite willing to admit that, as prevention is better than cure, the doctor who saves us from illness is entitled to the beat considera tion; but we remember the police force was designed for the prevention of crime, and yet has displayed a singular desire for establishing convictions. —Pall Mail Gazette. ; A 4 ilk. • TRADE MARK, " Mr. W. Evill has written a lively and agreeable account of 'A Winter Journey to Rome? His descriptions of scenery in the Alps and of the Italian cities are exceedingly graphic, shewing much sympathy with nature, and a refined intelligence, Though the style of the book is somewhat sketchy, it is thoroughly readable, especially in the passages referring to the Council, which have in some degree the-value of contemporary history."— Daily Telegraph. " Those who have followed the well-known route, and visited the spots described by Mr. Evil, are scarcely likely to add much to their fund of information by reading his lively sketches yet we are far from saying that the publication is superfluous. To gain knowledge is not the only object which induces a man or woman to take ap a new volume ; and if Mr. Evil does not add distinctly to our stock, he has the art—a rare one—of placing familiar scenes in a fresh and agreeable light. • . . . The book has the merit of being thoroughly readable."—Pall Mall Gazette. "Having read the book through from cover to cover—of itself an eulogium from any reviewer—we could certainly not spare Mr. Evill's always animated, often graphic, and more than once or twice really eloquent descriptions, any moro than we could. spare his account of the wonderful pageantry of the Papal func tions in Rome, and of the marvellous masterpieces in sculpture and painting scattered among the Palaces and Basilicas. . . . As a graphic delineator of the superb scenery and the renowned cities through which he made this winter journey, be has acquitted himself admirably well."—Sun. " The author has evidently a feeling for the beautiful and the picturesque, and describes what he saw in forcible and some times eloquent language. .. . Notwithstanding his well worn subject, Mr. Evill has produced an agreeable little volume, which may not unprofitably detain the reader."—Daily News. " There is no pretension whatever about the book of travels, and though it relates very little of what is new, it tells of nothing that is uninteresting, vapid, or dull. To the truthfulness of its descriptions of places and works of art we can thoroughly testify, and assure our readers that such of them as are meditating an Italian tour could not possibly do better than furnish themselves with a copy."—Bell's Weekly Messenger. - - " Mr. Evill's visit to Rome was opportunely timed to enable him to witness the great gathering of prelates' in attendance at the opening of the (Ecumenical Council ; his journey was accomplished with great rapidity, but his hasty en route sketches are lively and amusing."—Record.. " In this pleasant little book we have an abundance of Inter esting matter, such as a professed bookmaker might extend into the compass of two goodly volumes ln the very first page we are satisfied with the book, and are engrossed with its contents We recommend the entire little volume as well to readers as to intending tourists in search of continental information."—News of the World. "The ground was all new to Mr. Evill, and, in spite of the season of the year, he saw it under peculiarly favourable cir cumstances. He has an eye quick to see, and a pen that enables him to tell right pleasantly, and not a little vividly, what he has seen. . . . . Mr. Evill was fortunate enough, in company with his friend, Mr. Charles Kent, the poet, to see the pro cession in St. Peter's, on the opening day of the Vatican Council. His description of it is very grapestern Morning News. " Italy has been described to the reading world again and again, and, therefore, the charm of Mr. Evill's book is not the charm of novelty, but it has a charm. There is a fresh, inge nuous manner, that appeals to the reader. The author records his impressions and describes minutely the beauty of the Italian scenery without a thought of the travellers who have gone before. Some passages, descriptive, are really excellent. The exterior and interior of Milan cathedral are put before us in glowing terms, and the long ceremonies of the opening of the (Ecumenical Council are forcibly described. His description of Venice is excellent. Mr. Evill's word-painting is far above the average of such descriptions. We are sure that readers, after a perusal of this book, will have a vivid impression of the scenery described, and be grateful to Mr. Evill for his pleasant recollec tions."—Lloyd's Weekly News. "Accuracy of description will cause this little book to be read, and probably enjoyed, by those Englishmen and English women whom necessity keeps at home year after year . . . The profits are to be given to a charity, and we heartily wish it every success, and think that many untravelled Englishmen will find something to interest them in Mr. Evill's " Winter Journey to Rome."—The Examiner. - - - "This little volume, containing, together with careful descrip tions of places and cities, an account of the opening of the (Ecumenical Council, it is worthy of notice, is dedicated, not in irony or without permission, but in friendship and with full authority, by a Protestant to a Roman Catholic. There may be many worse preparations for a visit to the city which still is queenlike, if no longer queen, than a perusal of this unpreten tious, but instructive volume ; and the author's remarks touching that Church, the services and worship of which serve to make up the entire life of modern Rome may grieve, but will not aftront, a liberal Roman Catholic, and may command the assent, but will not shock the better feelings, of a Liberal Protestant." — Illustrated London News.

URGENT APPEAL—The Committee very earnestly appeal for Contributions in aid of the BUILDING FUND especially, as well as for the general purposes of the Charity, which has no funded property, but depends wholly upon voluntary support. No salaries are paid but to the household. The Orphange is open to visitors. Mr. Chadwick, the engineer, had a very narrow escape. At the time the explosion took place he was clean ing his engine, which was in the same room as the exhauster, and his hands were very badly burnt. Several of the other workmen who were near were more or less scorched. After the fire had been subdued by the brigade, several members of the corporation, including Mr. Alder man King, Councillors Woodward and Batty, accompanied by the manager of the gasworks and other officers, proceeded to make an inspection of the place, with the view of ascertaining the cause of the accident. They had been in the room for some time, when a heavy thud was heard ; one of the workmen called out " run," and those who were present, fearing another explosion, instantly took to their heels, and the inspection had to be suspended for some time. There are various suppo sitions as to the cause of the accident, one of which is that there had been an escape of gas from the exhauster, or through the packing of the cylinder which had either become ignited at the lighted jet near the engine, or through a light used by some one in attempt ing to discover where the leakage came from. Another supposition is, that there was a flaw in the valve of the main, between the exhauster and the purifier, through which the gas had percolated back into the main, and by the pressure caused the explosion. LOVE'S TREACHERY. A Mr. D. A. Spalding, Barrister-at-law, has been lecturing on " How to make the most of Life," at Dundee. A large portion of his last address referred to the expe diency of self-control in affairs of business, or of the heart. The following is an extract from the report of what Mr. Spalding said on the subject :—ln the romantic courting days the young people, under the influence of a heated imagination, dream and swear impossible things. The bearded lover is absorbed in compliment and endless attentions. Sometimes, I fear, he talks fine sentiment because it is the fashion. Often, however, he believes it all himself. But the poor girl always believes it. How could she ever doubt such charming truth? The incense of flattery is sweet, and she likes to pet and be petted. After marriage a man cannot he bothered telling his wife twenty times a day that he really loves her. He thinks she should take that for granted. But to the love-craving heart of the poor wife this is an awful change. It is the first black cicud that darkens the sunshine of her early summer. She is disappointed, her love is not appreciated, and in secret she grieves over a hidden sorrow, and thinks herself the unfortunate victim of a •loveless marriage. Young ladies are all quite willing to marry, whether you flatter them or not ; and they will make much better and more contented wives if, instead of intoxicating them with delicious ravings—that are at least insane, if not insincere—you treat them from the first with some thing approaching the quiet kindness and affection that nature will enable you to continue unto the end. And to accomplish this, the endeavour ought to be rather not fully to express than to exaggerate feelings that must subside, and grow less fer vent. At the same time men should cultivate tender. ness. Of all our pleasures, it is the kindest and most lasting. In our moments of greatest need, when deserted by the more active delights, then comes sweet, gentle tenderness to soothe and comfort us. Then take care of your early love ; let not the tender plant be trodden under the course hoofs of your money-making and gross worldly pursuits. When broken with toil or disappointment, when bowed down by disease or old age, all these will forsake you. And if, when thus left, the moist eye, the soft touch, and the gentle voice, cannot gladden and cheer, then, indeed, your feast of life is over. To the ladies I would say, when your lover whispers to you that yours will be an endless courtship, and all the rest of it, be sure he is either talking nonsense without knowing it, or he is doing worse—he is telling you what he does not believe himself. Be careful not to be taken by mere words and glitter. The man that is most showy in his love and attentions is by no means likely to be the most trustworthy in his attachment. " The stern Have deeper thoughts than surface eyes discern ; And when they love, your smilers guess not how Beats the strong heart, though less the lips avow." Lastly, you sometimes speak of striking the iron when it is hot. That implies that you know it will cool, yet you forget this, which, above all things, you should remem ber—the fire of youth's young love must cool down ; and it will cool in your husband sooner than in yourself. Be prepared for the change ; do not misunderstand it. Re member that in tender emotion you are more richly en dowed by nature than he is ; that he has pursuits and anxieties of which you know little. You must bear with him ; and though you may not like the falling off of the love-making, be careful not to make matters worse by complaining. Subdue yourself to your c i rcu mstances, and if it is trial, meet it with the calm dignity of patience and common sense. —Dundee Adrertiser. WILLS AND BEQUESTS. The will of Sir Thomas Montgomery Cunninghame, Bart., of Corshill, Ayrshire, Scotland, and 16, Princess terrace, Hyde Park, was proved in the London Court on the 19th ult. The personalty in the United Kingdom was sworn under £14,000. He has left his real estates in Buckinghamshire to Lady Cuninghame, his relict, for her life, and after her ladyship's decease to his right heirs. He leaves his leasehold estates in England, together with all other his personal estate, to her ladyship absolutely. Sir Thomas died August 30 last, aged 70. He was nobly descehded, and claimed the extinct Earldom of Glencairn.—The will of Edward Henry Brabazun Heaton-Ellis, Esq., of Wyd diall Hall, Hertford, was proved in London, on the 18th ult., under £50,000 personalty. To his wife he leaves £1,500 a y ear, beyond her settlements, and the use of his plate, books,ipictures, jewellery, arti cles of vertu, and furniture for her life. His estate of Wyddiall and all other his real estates he leaves to his only son. Charles Henry Brabazon Heaton-Ellis. To each of his younger children he leaves la legacy of £7,000. There are legacies to relatives, friends, and servants. The will of Michael William Balfe, composer, professor of music, late of Rowney Abbey, Ware, formerly of Audley-street, was proved under £6,000; he appoints his wife " Lina" sole e xecutrix, and leaves her all his property.—The will of Lionel Oliver Bigg, Esq., late of Clifton, formerly of Bristol, was proved under £6o,ooo.—The will of Charles Stuart, Esq., of Norfolk-street, Hyde Park, and Spring Grove, Bishopstoke, Southampton, who died at the Isle of Wight, was proved under £9o,ooo.—The will of the Rev.

THE LATE BISHOP OF WINCHESTER. -Bish op Sumner, late of Winchester, completed his 80th year last week. The right rev, prelate regularly attends St. Andrew's, Farnham, and certainly appears to give no out ward sign of the ill health attributed to him by some of our contemporaries.—Bock. THE UNITED STATES NAVY. The New York Herald says :—" Orders have been re ceived at the Brooklyn Navy-yard, from the Navy De partment at Washington, to fit out for sea, with all pos sible despatch, the frigate Minnesota, first rate, 46 guns, 3,000 tons ; the frigate Tennessee, second rate, 23 guns, 2,135 tons ; and the Shawmut, fourth rate, three guns, 410 tons. In consequence of this order there are signs of unusual activity in the yard, and it is more than likely that an additional force of workmen will be taken on to complete the work at the earliest pos sible day. The Tennessee is almost ready to go into commission. She has been coaled, and is ready to receive her guns and provision. The Minnesota has yet a great deal of work to be done on her before she can float out of the dry dock and receive her spars and rigging. Now there are only the lower masts standing. The Minnesota cannot be ready for sea under two months at least, and probably not then. The Shawmut is still on the stocks, having been almost entirely rebuilt. She will be ready for launching in a few days, and can be made ready for sea in two months if necessary. Work will be pushed ahead on her until she is completed. It is under stood that orders have been given to the commanders of the Boston, Portsmouth, Philadelphia, and Norfolk Navy-yards to fit out with expedition several ships of the first and second rates. No less than twelve vessels of various classes are to be put in sea-going con dition at once. For what particular purpose this little squadron is preparing is not known. Unless Congress votes an increase of seamen, it is difficult to see how these ships are to be sent to sea. There are no men to man them, and recruiting is practically stopped, or, at least, it is going on so slowly that it would be impossible to furnish men for a first-class frigate within several months. There is no trouble whatever in enlisting good men if the law allowed the increase. But it does not, and there is the rub. It is impossible to keep a navy afloat without men, but Congress has essayed the experiment at a time when, if ever, our flag ought to be shewn in the East as well as in European waters, since war and civil disturbances imperil the lives and property of American citizens. Look at the Asiatic squadron, to which is entrusted the care of pro tecting American interests in Japan, China, the East Indies, and the far distant islands in that quarter of the globe. To accomplish the task of visiting the widely separated ports of nearly half the world, the Navy Depart ment is only able to keep on the station the frigate Colorado, 45 guns, the flagship of Rear-Admiral John Rodgers ; the corvette Alaska, 12 guns, Commander Homer C. Blake ; the corvette Benicia, 12 gims, Commander Lewis A. Kimberley ; the Ashuelot, Commander Taylor, a shaky old paddle-wheel of six guns ; the Idaho, storeship, seven guns, Lieutenant-Commander Wallace, never again to go to sea ; the Monoca3y, Commander E. P. M'Crea, six guns ; the tug Palos, no guns, Comman der Beardsley—a grand total of seven vessels, carrying 88 guns, and, deducting the Idaho as worthless, our strength is represented by six vessels, carrying 81 guns. These have to cruise over ground that cannot be properly covered by twice the force, especially as the vessels for the most part are compelled to sail from port to port, using their steam as little as possible. The Secretary of the Navy, it is understood, will ask Congress to increase the number of men in the navy, and will then be able to shew our flag more frequently in distant parts where American interests are to be fostered and protected." THR PROROGATION OF PARLIAMENT.—At the Council held by her Majesty at Windsor, on Tuesday, Parliament was prorogued to the 17th January. This is only an ad interim, prorogation, and the 2nd of February will no doubt be the day of meeting for the dispatch of business. THE LATE LIEUTENANT--COLONEL PRDIBERTON.-.• The interment of the remains of this gentleman, lately military correspondent in Germany, will take place on Saturday, the 3rd inst., at Newton, in Cambridgeshire, in close proximity to the seat of his father, Major Pem berton. THE EMPRESS EUGENIE —A correspondent in forms us that the Royal Artillery from Woolwich, when out for a march on Monday, halted on Chislehurst common, and were inspected by the ex-Empress of the French and the Prince Imperial, the formerbeing introduced to Sir David Wood, who was in command, by an officer with whom she was acquainted. Her Majesty looked in good health, and walked from battery to battery along the line of troops, carrying in her hand the walking cane without which she seldom goes abroad. . THE CHAIR OF GEOLOGY IN THE EDINBURGH UNIVERSITY.—We understand that Government have signified their intention of contributing the sum of £2OO per annum towards the endowment of a chair of geology in the University of Edinburgh. This comes in as as a supplement to the endowment made by Sir Rode rick Murchison, which, we believe, will yield £5OO a year. There is every probability that the foundation of the chair will at once be proceeded with bythe SenatusAcademicua. —Scotsman. The statement which has appeared to the effect that Mr. Burrell, who has succeeded to the Barony of Gwdyr, will be the new Lord Great C hamberland, in the room of Lord Willoughby d'Eresby, is, to say the least, premature. The office vacated by the late Lord Willoughby is claimed, we hear, by his two sisters, Lady Aveland and Lady Carington; though how ladies can perform the duties of the post is not clear. Yet it would seem necessary to provide for the performance of those duties, and the question of appointing an acting Lord Great Chamberlain is, we believe, under the considera tion of the Government ; but nothing has yet been settled. —Daily Telegraph. - ELECTION OF SCHOOL BOARD FOR COVENTRY. —The election of a School Board took place on Wednes day. There were twenty candidates. The following were declared elected :—Messsrs. John Gulson, W. Lynes, E. Petre, John Rotherham, jun.; W. H. Hill, John Bill, W. Franklin, L. S. Booth, W. Odell, jun., D. G. Barnes, and F. Bird. Messrs. Gulson, Hill, Rotherham, Bill, Frank lin, and Booth were nominated by the Liberal party, and are pledged to undenominational teaching. Messrs. Lynes, D. G. Barnes, and F. Bird were nominated by the Conservatives. Mr. Odell was an independent nomi nation, and Mr. Petre is the representative of the Roman Catholics of the city. The election passed off very quietly. About two-thirds of the burgesses voted. The scrutiny occupied the whole of Thursday, and was n o t completed till a late hour.
