The additions made to Life Policies granted by this Corpo ration for the last seven years vary from 41 to 65 per cent. on the premiums paid, and average 14 per cent on the sums as sured—a result, it is believed, far more favourable to the as sured than any other Company has hitherto accomplished, when the low rates of premiums charged by this Corporation are taken into consideration. The next division of life profits will take place in December, 1846, being an interval of five years, and persons entering be • fore the Ist of August next will enjoy one year's additional rating, and rank at next division of profits for five co►nplete years.

The rates of premium are reduced to the lowest scale com patible with the security of the Assured, and the stability of the Company, thereby, in effect, giving to every Policy Holder an immediate and certain Bonus without risk, in lieu of the deferred and frequently delusive prospect of a periodical division of Profits.

CEMENT—MOST IMPORTANT AND VALUABLE INVENTION. rllO ARCHITECTS, Engineers, Contractors, 11 Builders. Masons, Plasterers, and the Trade. and also t Shippers. THE PATENT STUCCO PAINT CEMENT, surpassing every article hitherto introduced, possesses the fol lowing extraordinary and valuable properties. Remarkable adhesiveness, fixing most tenaciously to the smoothest surfaces (even to glass). It is perfectly impervious to wet or damp. The more it is exposed to the atmosphere, the harder and mere durable it becomes. It is perfectly free from any of the caustic qualities of lime, and it may therefore be painted upon as soon as dry, as it is impossible that it can vegetate or change colour, nor can it be affected by frost or heat, or crack chip, or peel off. To Merchants and Shippers, it must form a most important item of commerce, as it will keep for any length of time, as fresh as delivered from the manufactory; w►th regard to price, it is cheaper than any other Cement, and its lasting qualities, render it a fortune to builders and others investing capital in building speculations. The Patentees have appointed Messrs. Mann and Co., 5, Maiden-lane, Queen-street, Cheapside, their sole agents, at whose warehouses any quantity may be had, specimens may be seen, and every information afforded. THE PERFECT SUBSTITUTE for SILVER CATALOGUE, with ENGRAVINGS (Gratis), POSTAGE FREE.—The celebrity of the rich and silvery appearance and extreme durability of the material made ex clusively by ourselves, has induced many attempts to foist upon the public the notoriously deleterious German Silver under the guises of " Albata Plate," " Berlin Silver," &e. cc c ., against which we especially warn them. Aided by an „,inent chemist, we have succeeded in purifying our material „ :at acids do not !Sect it ; it is now so well known and app „,-liated that it is universally superseding silver in all its uses. The genuine metal, which is more durable than silver, can only be had at our warehouses. It is the same through out, and can be engraved and made in all the various articles that are in silver, from which it can only he told by reference to the stamp. Fiddle Threaded King's Pattern.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,-At the present time, when the Established Church is tottering upon its foundations, and nearly rent in twain by dissent; it is more than commonly interesting to observe how the suhject is handled by the Bishops in their Diocesan Charges. In every one of the various Episcopal Charges which I have read during the last three years, the matter above-mentioned is noticed with sincere regret ; so muck so, Mr. Editor, that in the last charge delivered by the worthy and learned Primate himself, such plaintive language is employed throughout, that his Grace must have shed even more tears whilst writing it than he took dips in the ink with his pen. Such a tissue of lamentations nerer fell into my hands since I read the well-known lachrymose epistle which bears the name of Gildas. If, Sir, the condition of the Church can warrant such apprehensions (which, like hobgoblins of our nursery days, seem to haunt the Right Reverend Gentlemen in the light as well as in the dark), why do they not have recourse to the remedy which ec clesiastical history points out to them ? Commencing even with the Apostles themselves, the practice had always been to summon; a council to consider matters upon which persons were not agreed. Such, too, was the invariable practice in this land, from the Synod of Verulam, held a century and a half before the foundation of the Pritnatial See of Can terbury, to the times or King George the First, from whose days the mouths of the clergy have been closed as effectually as have been for a much longer period the oracles of Pagan Greece. Let the clergy, then, petition the Sovereign to restore to them the liberty of speech in their Convocations ; and having obtained her permission to do their duty as ministers of religion, next let them put up a prayer to God to assist them in their deliberations, which He will do, most assuredly, if their Church has the Divine origin they never fail to claim for it. If, as the Bishop of Loildon said in his Coronation Sermon, the Bishops are "ambassadors of Christ," why should they continue to truckle to human authority, as though they fear man to a far greater degree than they trust in Christ? Do they dread least he may desert them in the day of peril, calling out to them, " Whence come ye, for I know you not ?" If such, Mr. Editor, be the fears which restrain the English hierarchy from doing their duty towards Christ, I should infer that heresy and false religion have made greater strides upon the Episcopal Bench than among the Oxford Tractarians. If what is imputed to the latter be described correctly, Dr. Pusey and, his dis ciples ought to have been expelled from the Church long ago ; but they are allowed to retain their preferments, as though the Bishops felt convinced that they would have the worst of it in an encounter with the Puseyites. So long, then, as the clergy remain passive before those whom they denominate Semi-Papists (and therefore half idolaters, at the least), we may fairly question their holding any commission from above. Now, Mr. Editor, persons who shall begin to doubt in that matter will as suredly not stop there, but rather follow up their doubts by asking from what quarter the Episcopal Commission did really proceed ? I remain, Mr. Editor, your most obedient servant, London, June 13, 1842. Q. IN A CORNER. [Clergymen are not the most manageable people in the world when they assembl e i n a b o dy t o d e lib e rate on Church affairs, and we therefore think:the suggestion for restoring the Convocation would be very unpalatable, both to the Government and the Bishops. A General Assembly in the South, like that in the North, would be another terrible infliction.] SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY.—We are gratified to report that the works of this railway a ll a l ong th e uncom pl e ted portion of the line exhibit a scene of bustle.

Altogether the pros pests of the work are most cheering; and w e h ave no d ou bt, from the spirit and enterprise of the Directors, they will be completed within the given time.—Dover Chronicle. CALENDAR OPERATIONS. K ITCHEN-G ARDEN — FORCING-HOUSES. PlNERY.—Carefully watch the heating of the tan beds lately renewed ; those that have taken fresh root-hold must be liberally supplied with water at the root; and one of the most important points in pine culture—namely, atmospheric moisture, must be duly attended to. VlNERY.—Retain only a moderate crop of fruit on the vines in the late houses ; attention to this point will ensure a larger quantity of good fruit, than if a heavy crop is allowed to remain. Keep the laterals stopped, and the main shoots that are left to grow their full length, tied in regularly. PEACH-HOUSE.—Admit air freely where the fruit is ripening ; and expose the fruit as much as pos sible, to give it colour ; avoid taking off the leaves, if it can be done without. Watering at the roots must be dispensed with at the time of the ripening of the fruit. CHERRY-MOUSE.—The trees in pots should be fully exposed to the sun and air for a time, when they may be placed on the north side of a wall, and be kept rather dry. MELONS.-It is a a frequent complaint that this fruit is without flavour; this we think, in many cases, arises from its being allowed to remain on the vine too long; it should be cut immediately there is any indication of its ripening, and this is easily de tected by the very powerful odour emitted by them at this stage of the growth. WALL-TREES demand attention in pruning and nailing ; the very gross-growing shoots may be stopped, to cause them to throw out laterals ; if there are any large shoots to remove, this is the best time to remove them. Keep all the newly-planted fruit trees watered and mulched ; and if the dry weather continues, all wall-trees would be benefited by a thorough watering. It will be necessary, if the weather continues dry, to water strawberries copiously; afterwards lay straw or short grass between the rows, to preserve the fruit from dirt, and to retain moisture; lay the early runners into pots for forcing. Net cherry-trees and strawberries to preserve them from birds. FLOWER GARDEN. STOVE.—Many of the plants will require potting throughout the summer; young seedling exotics should be potted as soon as they are sufficiently large : a hot bed would be the best place for them until they make fresh roots, in the absence of which they should be placed in the warmest part of the house, and covered with a hand-glass. GREENUOUSE AND CONSERNATORY.—If the roof of the latter department is moveable, it may now be taken away, but previously to doing so, it should have been left open night and day for some time past. A canvass awning removable at pleasure, to use during bright sunshine, and on cold nights, would preserve the plants from etoilation. Give the plants in the greenhouse a due portion of air, which should be regulated according to the class of plants it contains. Many of the mesembryanthemums and cacti plants may be now planted on rock work, where they will be found to flourish exceedingly well, and will make a beautiful show during the autumnal months. PITS AND FRAMES.—As we have before observed, the frames for propagation will, at this season, be better adapted for the purpose if placed facing the north ; the bottom heat should be kept up, and the cuttings and young seedling plants duly supplied with moisture. ' All the half-hardy plants and annuals lately planted in the beds and borders must be supplied with water, while the weather remains so excessively dry, as must also the dahlias ; but these latter may be mulched, which will obviate the necessity of frequent waterings. Put in pipings of pinks, and propagate such herbaceous plants as are difficult of propagation by the division of the root, by the flower stem. Newly planted shrubs and 'trees will require watering and mulching. If little besides daisies is growing on the lawn, they should be mown in the middle of the day, when they are fully expanded. Keep climbing plants properly trained. I LORAL NOVELTIES.—Edward's Botanical Re gister contains several novelties. ERIA POLYURA.—An orchidaceous species, sent home last year by Mr. Cuming to Messrs. Loddiges, from Manilla, thus described :—" Of the now very numerous species of eria, this is one of the most graceful, producing from the sides of long, leafy, fleshy stems a profusion of delicate tails of flowers, each nearly six inches long. The flowers resemble little semi-transparent bells, just tinged with pink, and having a rich purple and yellow centre. The latter appearance arises from the labellum, which is ovate, heart shaped, and a rich port-wine purple, with a bright yellow trip. Eria floribunda, to which it nearly approaches, differs in having smaller flowers, erect racemes, and a narrow, wedge-shaped lip, with a solitary tooth on each side. It is a plant of the easiest cultivation, but requires a hot, damp, atmo sphere, such as that of an orchidaceous house, where dendrobiums and such plants flourish. The general treatment ought to be the same as is given generally to the extensive race to which it belongs." MIMOSA URIJGUENSI S (THE URUGUAY MIMOSA.) — "A pretty greenhouse shrub, very nearly hardy, which would no doubt improve much in appearwc under the hands of a good cultivator, and lt would reward his pains. It is a native of the province of Buenos Ayres, whence seeds were received by the Hon. W. P. gtfangways, and given to the Horti cultural Society. It flowered at Chiswich in June 1841. It requires such protection in this 'country as is given to verbenas, acacias, and things of that des cription. It grows well in A, mixture of light loam and leaf mould, and may be readily propagated by cuttings in the usual manner." n tribe are now IleaEuoacs ORIVNTALIS.—A s p e cies of hellebore found on the Bithynian Olympus, awl sent to the Horticultural Society.

" In the greenhouse it flowers in February and March, and requires rather a damp shady situa tion, with peaty soil to grow in. It is easily in creased, either by dividing the old plants when suffi ciently large, or by seeds, which should be sown di rectly they are ripe." HAtataxprus PRATENSIS—A Chilian species, of a very brilliant appearance, having petals of a rich yel low at the bottom, and bright crimson above. 64 It seems to like a loamy soil to grow in, and sends up the flower-stems and leaves early in sp r in g . After the flower fades, the plant , ought to b e grow n in a light situation and freely watered, in order that it may be able to perfect its leaves. 'When these are fully formed and die off, it aught to be removed to a dry shelf, and kept there until the period of growth oomes round, when it can be watered and treated as before. Young bulbs are formed round the old one every sea son, by which it can be propagated."

The flowers are very large for the genus, in general appearance like those of C. maculatum. The petals and upper sepal are purple, the lateral sepals are yellowish green. The flowers are arranged in a circle, and all look outwards, so that on whatever side the umbel is regarded, it still presents to the eye the same row of grinning faces and wagging chins. Messts. Loddiges imported it from China. It may be in the recollection of some of our readers that the Affghan clover and lucern, of which seeds were received from India a year or two ago, appeared, from a few experiments, to be well deserv ing of cultivation in this country. In pursuance of that admirable system which is acted upon at the India House, of endeavouring in every possible way to render the productions of Great Britain and India mutually advantageous, the Court of Directors sent out immediate orders for a further supply of both these seeds. The clover Sir A. Burnes had pro mised to send, but the despatch probably never left Caubul, or, at least, never reached India. A quan tity of Khelat lucern has, however, been sent home, and is supposed to be the same as the lucern sent two years ago. This was the same species as what we -already have, that is to say, as medicago sativa, but it was more prolific, and possessed the invaluable property of coming in as green food much earlier in the season than anything known here. This was first ascertained by Mr. Groom, of Walworth, and his evidence has been confirmed by that of others. We understand that a large quantity of this seed is at the India House, and we have no doubt that gentlemen wishing to try it may obtain a portion by application to the Secretary, or to any of the Di rectors of the East India Company.—Gardeners Chronicle. THE 4 , LAND AND CITIES OF CAUBU L." GIVEN BY SOLOMON TO HIRAM, KING OF TYRE " The whole is very darkly expressed. ".—Adam Clarke's Commentar3. 12. And Hit am came out from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him, and they pleazed him not. 13. And he said, What cities are these which thou hast given me, my brother ? And he called them the land of Caubul unto this day.-1 Kings, chap. ix. That the " Land of Caubul " mentioned in the book of Kings, was probably identical with that which at the present day is called indifferently Caubul and Affghanistan, has already been half. avowed and half-denied by some contemporary prints. The following observations collected from some of the best Biblical critics, will, however, show the affirmative belief to be one of some strength and validity. In the verses of the Book of Kings alluded to, it appears that the " Cities of Caubul" in question were situated in the " land of Galilee." To ascertain the precise signification of this latter phrase, or what were the 'boundaries of such a locale, appears to be the point for notice. Now, Galilee, even in its common acceptation as a portion of Palestine, has with great difficulty had its limits settled, even by so eminent a topographer as Roland. The boundaries of Lower Galilee, assuredly, have been more easily determined ; but to this day every Scripture-writer is at loss to fix, by any incontrovertible rule, the limits of the Upper Galilee. From Reland it appears, that " Galilee," extend ing beyond Jordan, had for its borders the Trachonitis, Libanus, and Batana2a, the last being more familiarly known by its Scripture title, Bashan. This last city, then, was the ultimate stretch of the provinces of Galilee. But where was Bashan ? There was a city of that name in quite a different direction to that which is now under consideration, but with this we have nothing to do. Ileland confessed himsfAi at fault as to this second Bashan ; but had this learn e d scholar turned his attention to the etymology of the word, its site would have been somewhat more clearly known. "Bashan" signifies in the original Hebrew " tooth or ivory," and had undoubtedly its name, like most oriental regions and cities, from the• most prominent peculiarity which characterised it. This signification at once stamps it as an Indian city, and the inference we shall shortly arrive at will be pre sently seen, Having ascertained that " Galilee" extended as flu. as Basilan, and that Bashan, from the internal evi dence of the word, was an oriental tract of country, we shall now proceed to show that the phrase " land of Galilee," as applied in this particular instance—far from being bound down to the strict meaning in which it is generally used—is here to be interpreted, like the preceding word, by its internal meaning. Galilee, in the Hebrew, is a derivative from the radical Galalai, which signifies neither more nor less than a frontier. This is precisely its deter minate meaning in the present case. The cities " Caubul," as it will be immediately seen, were " frontier" cities, and, indeed, the Septuagint iden tifying "Bashan " with " Galilee" itself in their translation of Isaiah xxxiii. 9, - - translate " Bashan " as" Galilee," acknowledging them to be one and the saw ! FTAITI this, then, the conclusion is arrived at, that " Galilee" was the frontier of King Solomon's empire ; that it was the same as Bashan, and that Bashan was an Indian department of territory. Caubul, next we have to observe, like the two fore going words means like them " a border or boun dary." Crudon, Parkhurst, and others, we are aware, assert that it signifies "displeasing or dirty," and Dr. Wells, on this supposition, in common with the learned, is doubtful as to whether this epithet was given to the land by Hiram, as a mark of disappro bation, or what otherwise it should mean. The Seventy however transiateit by the Greek word for boundary, supposing that the 20 cities composing it were " border-ones." The commonly.received acceptation of " Caubul" as meaning in the vernacular "displeasing or dirty," will, however, no less favourably aid our position. Hiram we read, was displeased with the cities, and by 2 Chiron. NFU 2, we find that he afterwards restored them. An eminent critic has observed hereon that Hiram's people were more especially given to merchandise, than agriculture : Caubul, therefore, being a fat, deep, and dirty soil, and consequently not pleasant to live in, they farmed to him but an unacceptable present at best. But the word by which " Caubul" was designated by the Tyrian king was, indeed, truly that which distinguishes the Caubul of Shah Soojah at the present day. Sir Alexander Burnes's descriptions are precisely such as bespeak " the fat, deep, and dirty soil" of the sacred writer, luxurious and productive to a degree beyond precedent, under the auspices of any one who knew better than King Hiram, the use of the plough and harrow. That the " Caubul,' then, of Scripture—Solomon's Caubul, was that which at the present day is indiffer ently called Caubul or Afghanistan, so far from being implausible, is an hypothesis absolutely certain ; but one or two other reasons which we have to adduce will render the point somewhat more devoid of doubt still. It may be set forth as an objection, that Hiram would never have travelled so great a space as from Tyre to Caubul, as situated by us, for the mere in spection of cities, which in the sequel turn out so un important as to be returned to the giver; but that the two kings, with their respective sailors and arma ments, did travel that and even greater distances, is proved by the end of the chapter which speaks of these cities. It there appears that they visited ports as far distant as Ophir, for those " wedges of gold" which lent splendour to their palaces at home—Ophir, not that which borders on Arabia, but, says a learned annotator, that " Ophir which lies in India," and of which he further says, to show the distance of the spot and the length of the voyage, " Ophir, situated so as to require a voyage of three years long to go out, load, and return." _ _ But as further proof that Solomon did travel to these remote parts, an incidental remark made amonif the notes of a traveller in last month's " Blackwood, lends us a striking affirmation. The paper in ques tion is entitled "Narrative of a Journey from Heraut to Ourenbourg ;" and the traveller, Sir R. Shakespear, on the high road to Khyva, comes on six miles to the much-talked-of " Tuhkt." "This," he says on arrival, "is rather a large sand-hill, nothing else. The Tur comans believe that Solomon paid it a visit." The river Oxus is said in former years to have flowed near this spot. Traditions are the unwritten truths of history, and where a corroborative statement, such as the above, comes to the assistance and support of an hypothesit, a statement caught straying over th e w ilds ei Turce_ ,. mania, and handed down from b ar b ar i a n to bari" arian, from Solomon's time to the present, it 7, ay well be believed that the fact Is true and actual, , and con firraatiVe a a thing which " o n- " ihrther eircumstant— ..ce ca me to pass. the above facts iP a s tro ngly in corroboration of cities Of -J this : On the return of the land and ~aubul into the hands of Solomon, that king, says the Sacred Writ, introduced " Israelites" to dwell in them, there to abide. This, perhaps, from traditions JUNE 20, 1842 PRICE scl among the Affghans themselves, no less than ocular proof at the present day, is the strongest presumption of all. Elphinstone and Burnes, together with all the enlightened men who have visited these countries, speak consentaneously to the fact that the Affghans claim their descent from the Israelitish stock, and their persons, customs, and religious observances, and ceremonies, are one and all emphatically Jewish. The stamp of the " especial people" is palpably dis cernible upon them, even to the indiscriminate ob server, and among more remote branchings off of the race; and, were it necessary, we could here magnify our proofs into the measure of a book, confirmative of the fact. That the traditions, then, of Solomon's signet-ring, and his marvellous powers as a magician, should be familiar to every Persian and Affghan throughout the East, is far from being a miracle: Instead of regarding it as a legend of wonder, which the naturally prurient imaginations of the East have caught—or a broad • shadowing legend which has spread itself, by dint of its own marvellous properties, we have here an easy and palpable reason why, carried of yore hither by the Jews themselves, it is to this day found and and known in every hovel and haunt of Affghanistan. But, perhaps, the most conclusive fact of the whole we have to adduce is the following, which, based upon the divine organizations of the Jewish economy, substantiates the position. The Holy Land, had by the Divine Being himself, been invested by solem;, and unchangeable covenant, in " Abraham and his seed for ever." From this high progenitor, Solomon was the direct descendant, and consequently could not, without breaking the most sacred law or obliga tion imposed by the Almighty upon the Jewish na tion, alienate, or by any means disjoin, a single frac tion from that land, which was to be solely and for ever the inheritance of his own race. This conviction appears to have- pressed so heavily upon some of the religious critics who have dwelt upon the passage, that they, with unanimous accord, state that the cities or ]and of Caubul, thus ceded from Solomon to Hiram were " heathen" cities, and could not have belonged to the " Promised Land." They knew very well, that Solomon could not make a cession to any one, on any score, of a single yard. arm's length of thatland, which was pre-eminently styled " Holy," and which was inalienably vested in him and his race. No form of S. then-existing law—no meeti ng o f th e Elde".. s in th e Gates—no solemnest decision or comp ct drawn up either by him or by them, could 1 :, - ossibly alienate a tithe of the land to another. That the "land of Caubul," therefore, and the cities forming it were extra-Hierosolymite, or without the absolute range of the Holy Land borders, is undeniably certain. Moreover, the coincidence of opinion on this point is a common matter, and the fact, as al leged, is subscribed to by the chief biblical authorities who are admitted into the list of sacred critics. When, hap-hazard, therefore, such an admission comes unasked for, upon us, coupled with the foregoing cir cumstances, doubt as to the identity of the one Caubul with the other, seems scarcely to admit of pre varication or incertitude. FROM THE FRENCH PAPERS The Semaphore, of Marseilles, gives an account of the arrival in that port of a bold and ingenious sailor, who has constructed a boat formed to fit his own body when laid at full length, in which he traver.e s the sea with a B , ..iftness and security rivallin g that of fishes. His head and arms alone ar:pea r from without, and with the latter, holdin g a pair of oars, P t r h o u v s isi h o e ns ma a d r e e and recessesimpels e himself th) along, at sto weci h ln voyages from Toulon 4 :6 Nice and Leghorn, coming to ?Marseilles by tlae islands of llyeres. On ar riving in port he complied with all the prescribed re gulati,-,ns, entering his own name, Malbec, and that of ins vessel, and then darted across the harbour like an arrow. On being examined when on shore, the wonderful vessel was found to be a most perfect piece o? mechanism. It is furnished with a small pump, similar to that used in wine and beer-houses for drawing the liquor from the casks in the cellar, and by means of which any water the boat may snake can be easily discharged. Having been tisprived of his left leg, M. Malbec has converted itA wooden substitute into a mast, upon which he occasionally raises a sail suited for his light bark, and which he can trim with ease, according to the wind, and the course he wishes to steer. M. Malboc's visit to Marseilles is said to be for the pur pose of having a vessel on his plan constructed of cast iron, with various imp rovemen t s , among w hi c h are to be hollow; masts, admitting air into the body of the boat, so that either in foul weather, or when requiring sleep, he may lie down on the mattrass at the bottom, close the hatchway and apertures for his head and arms, without fear of being suffocated. He has given his vessel the appropriate name of the Duck. A young man of Rheims, named Bernier, having received a sum of money for entering the army as a substitute, determined, before his departure, to spend a portion of it in licentious pleasures, and formed an intimacy with a girl of the town. On the morning of the 25th ultimo, after passing the night together in a house of ill fame, they went down into the com mon room, and each called for a glass of brandy, but before either of them had drunk, another paramour of the girl came in, and she, in spite of the remon strance of Bernier, resolved to go away with him. Upon this, Bernier, in his exasperation, took a pistol from his pocket, and discharging it at the girl laid her dead 'at his feet. He attempted to fly, but was secured with the pistol in his hand. A marriage took place lately at Blois between a travelling dealer and an exceedingly pretty girl, who some years back was a common street-singer. The bridegroom saw her one evening weeping bitterly, from being forced by her father, who was a cripple, to sing when her strength was unequal to the task. The honest dealer took compassion on the girl, then about 14, and offered to put her to school. The fa ther gladly consented, particularly as he was himself to be placed by the generous dealer in a small shop at Tours, where he could make a comfortable subsistence. Education brought out so many good qualities in the young protege that the dealer thought he could not do better than become the possessor of such a treasure. Ile proposed and was accepted, and the marriage took place as has been related. In the afternoon of the 24th ult., a young man, named Pierre Bastard, who had been for some time at variance with his father, entered the house of the latter, at Vaux, in the Charente, and finding him re posing on the ground, approached within three yards of him, and discharged at him a gun loaded with shot and slugs, a great portion of which lodged in the thigh, and others in the shoulder and side of the victim, who died shortly afterwards of the wounds. A person named Roy, who was lying by the side of the father, roused by the report, sprung up, and pursued the parricide. On coming up with him, young Bas tard displayed a brace of pistols, and threatened to dis charge them at Roy if he did not desist. The mur derer having thus deterred Roy from following him, went into a meadow opposite his fathers' house, and committed suicide. He first discharged one of his pistols into the region of his head, and, this not having immediate effect, he reloaded his gun, and tying a string to the trigger, placed the muzzle on the right side of his head, and by a pull of the string, discharged the contents, thereby causing instant death. Three or four days ago, M. Fontaine, a farmer at Teteghem, near Dunkirk, employed two of his men, Decock and Eduwaele, in emptying the cess-pool of the premises. Towards the conclusion of the task, the latter went down into it, but was so overcome by the effluvia, that he was obliged to ascend almost immediately. Decock then went down, was affected in like manner. M. Fontaine, undismayed, determined to save his man, and descended with a rope. He got him up to the mouth of the cess-pool, and Mme. Fon taine, who had come to his assistance, took the body of Decock, and endeavoured to lift it out ; but the weight was too great for her strength, and she let it fall upon her husband, and both were precipitated to the bottom, and suffocated in the remains of the contents of the fosse. Other men were then em. ployed to relieve them, and they were drawn ur by ropes ; but all the a ppli ca ti ons o f medical sin' Were insufficient to rest ore th em to lif e, suf fered for som e ti me , b ut ultimately was ' convalescence. e- fir the Charente, a few named Stonteau, At the Court o f A ss i z days ago, a f ema l e o f ;7, restored to farm servant, was, trie 4 3_ for an attempt to poison another female Sialre it of the same farm, named No el, b y a Putting ~eme verdigris, which she ' had scraped from a b .4s pump, into the drinking.

A letter from Bourges states that during the fair of the commune of Sainte Vite a quarrel arose, and ' the Mayor of Saint Maur wishing to interpose be tween the combatants, received a blow from a stick., on the head, which almost immediately killed 11:rm. The perpetrator of this act has not yet been disco-tered. We learn from Toulouse that, at six in the morn ing of the 2d instant, Bonnet, the steward of the late Lady Hawarden, condemned in March last to five years imprisonment for robbery, having received a. notification that his appeal against his sentence was rejected, cut his throat with a razor.

The Patriote de Saone-et-Loire says :—" Mlle. Rosalie C. de -V.,, the eldest daughter of one of the first mag4teates of the P ay -d e -D ome, eloped a few - days sil*e with, An Auvergnat, who was her father's steward, and, the fugitives made their way to Chalon sur-Saor,,, Th e y did not venture into any of the grand, hotels of the town, but immediately 'installed ttemselves in a humble dwelling near a ?arm, closfi i. to the small river called the Genise. Here they e - 1 0- pected to enoy, without interruption, all the s.tr ee t s q, of love and a cottage ; but, alas! cruel fate in two days betrayed their retreat, and a party of gem acmes surrounded it, and separated them. The you , ig lady was sent back to her father, and the love_stricken Auvergnat was committed to prison for travelling with a false passport. The father missed from his morwy-box a sum of 250 gold Napoleon..., but nothing more was found upon his - worthy steward than 40f in silver." , A charcoal-mr.n, ascending the Rue St. Jacques, Paris, a f ew days since with a full sack or; his shoulders, deposited it at the door of a vvine-shop, and entered; to drink a g l ass o ff ere d him by a fellow countryinan he accidentally met with. When he came out his sack was gone. Mother wit made him at once conclude that the rogue who had Wizen it would rather go down than up the hill `'sith his burden, and our Auvergnat at once desce-aded with. all his speed. Before he reached the bottum, he saw kis sack moving on before him, and in a second he brought the bearer to the ground with fine blow. The fellow, however, was not stunned, and. before he could be seized, gathered himself up and fl' e d. Finding that he was pursued, he attempted tcs escape by throwing himself over the parapet by 'the river-side. The water was too low to make hi. ; fall soft, and he broke both his legs. In this state b' was carried to the hos pital of the Hotel Dieu. A few days ago, says th e M emorial des Pyrenees, the village of Boruer es, near Tarbes, was visited by a violent storm, during which the lightning struck an ancient oak, but still In full vigour, the trunk of which was twenty inches n diameter, stripping it of all its leaves and bark. and carrying some of its heaviest branches to a aistanoe of 300 yards. The tree) itself was split b' Lo nearly two equal parts, leaving 'them as dry as if they had long been dead. A hole of an orul form was made at the foot. Other tr,y,3 in the "quincunx, of which it formed the corner, were in jured in a less degree; but a wooden cross, which had been sheltered by them from time immemorial, remained untouched, nor were even the crowns of immortelles hung upon it as votive otfetings in the slightest degree scathed. A party of young men had passed the evening under the oak, and had net left the spot many minutes before the event took place. The Prefect of Police has caused to be posted up in all parts of Paris, the usual ordonnance at this time of the year, that no dogs are to be suffered to run about the streets, or to be at liberty in magazines, shops, work-shops, or any other open establishment, without being muzzled. All dogs also must wear a collar, with the name and abode of the owner. To this is added, by desire of the Board of Health, in structions as to the first measures to be taken in cases of persons bit by dogs supposed to be mad. A man of the name of Sciotta, one of the turnkeys of the prison of La Force, came to the office of the Commissary of Police two days ago, and delivered himself into custody for the murder of his wife. He stated that he had called on three other Commissaries, but had found them absent from home. A quarrel, it appears, arose between him and his wife, by whom he has five children, from some jealous suspicions on his part. Blows ensued, and in his passion he threw her on the edge of the bed, and stabbed her repeatedly with a knife. He then went coolly, as above stated, ancl gave himself into cus t o d y . Th e woman died the same day. The amount already received by the Relief Com mittees of Hamburgh, says a letter from that city of the 30th ult., already exceeds three millions of francs.

For a time al•,e lived in joy and luxury, but having become ene4nte, she was heart lessly deserted. Her child bei•ag born she placed it out at nurse, and for a time supported the charge by her industry. After a few- months her work failed, and the payments fell into arrear. Two days riga the nurse arrived with her baby, and and knocking& the door of her lodging, in the Rue St. Spire, I t sired to be admitted. The poor distracted girt, wanting bread for her se lf, i ns t ea d o f l ett i ng the nurse in, seized a knife and cut her own threat. The Com missary of Police was sent for, and the room being forcibly entered, she was found senseless on the floor, but was not dead, and was carried to an hospital, where, however, little or no hopes are entertained of saving her. FRAlvv.. • - TRANCIS AFTER CONVICTION. Never has there appeared within the prison of Newgate a convict more com pletely prostrated by the circumstances and result of a trial for a capital offence, than the wretched creature who was con victed of having attempted to assassinate the Queen. Upon being conducted, or rather carried, to the room in which be is now confined, Francis sank down upon a seat, and moaned and wept bitterly. Mr. Carver, the Ordinary, who from the mo ment of the prisoner's committal to prison, earnestly requested him to expect the worst, and assured him that the whole of, 'the public were exasperated against him, and that the pre faith fully recorded the opinions of the people to:,, f a r d s him, visited and endeavoured to raise him from the stupor into which his fears seemed to be Is . A, rry i ng him ; and it was evident, f rom t h e manner in whieh he received the exhortations of the Reverend, Gentleman, that he had entertained sanguine hopes of being settled for life in Bedlam, or some other a s ylu m , ir, w hich he might be main tained without any exertion of ).7, s ow n. He declared, amidst tears and sobs, that he never 'meant to kill or even injure her Majesty, and that all he sort b y l e ttingpistol . off the was the notoriety to which otber • e ersons bad attained .by appearing to raise their hands agaiir' t th e life of the Sover eign. His father visited him on Saturday in the presence of the Sheriffs and the Ordinary l anda c',nversation of some length took place between them, The Vatoner seemed to be for some time overwhelmed with grief i.,d terror. He covered his face with his hands w h eat his fatlme entered, and repeated most earnestly ant solemnly the e: - .,se:rances that he never contemplated any mischief towards her Majesty. and that he was perfectly aware there could b e no pretence for ententaining a s .. ipgle thought t o h er prejudice or. against her sacred Iverson. His father and the Ordinary urged Inin to communicate to them whether he had been eonverstng with anybody upon the subject o f attack i ng her Majesty before he made the diabolical attempt, to which he re plied, in a manner calculated to impress those who heard him that he spoke the truth, that he never oi,ened his lips to a human being upon the subject. It was quite manifest to the, since he ha s b ecome an inmate of Newgate, who have had opport un i t i es of observing the conduct *f the prisoner the noise which w d fo i a b ly l e afterquarters tri was made about O x f or d' s a tt emp t to ;geminate therttae Queen, and th e reports in circulation relative the mu» n an w d h t i he r cht i h d a i t enl in en d a iv a i ym individual w a s d e re ited ited in i f re ae t ur e• of the criminal, presented a combination which Francies'mind was not able to resist. Indeed, we are given, to understand, that .Oxford, up on h ear i ng o f t h e attempt made by Francis t assassinateinate her M a j esty , ma d e an o b sereation- wh i ch proved tha insanity had as little to do with the attempt made by the one, a with the attempt made by the other.
