Thou and myself for years have been Companions of the field, Where oft thy shooting powers were seen, And mine alike revealed. How often have I lifted up Thy barrel and thy stock, While Master Dash, sagacious pup, Has marked some hen or cock. And now, once more, respected piece, Thou'lt act with Dash's snout, For leaves are scarce, and summer's lease Is very nearly out. My shooting coat, from M. and Son, Is ready for the sport, Ascl such an admirable one Of Moses have I bought. As long as thou hast marked in air The children of the wing, I've never had the luck to wear A better sort of thing.

THE BERMONDSEY MURDER. At a late hour last night no intelligence had been re ceived by the police authorities at Scotland-yard of the apprehension of Manning. Yet his will be one of the most remarkable cases upon record if, for a much longer time, he escapes the pursuit of justice. The extraordi nary atrocity of the murder with which be is charged has raised throughout the country the deepest anxiety for his arrest, and wherever a suspicious looking man is see❑ at all answering to the description given by the flue cad Cry, he is immediately pounced upon. At least half-a-dozen mistakes of this kind have already been made. The governor of Bath Gaol fancied he saw Man ning pass Basingstoke in a third class up-train to Lon don. The fact was telegraphed to London, and informa tion forwarded to the Commissioners of Police, who sent Inspector Haynes to the Waterloo station immediately with two or three officers, to whom Miening's person was known, Mr. Stovin, the manager of the railway, placed a special engine at the disposal of the officers and accompanied them to Wimbledon, where the up train was stopped and examined. The suspected party, who had beets not a little alarmed at the observation his presence excited at all the stations - where the train stopped, was at once ascertained not to be Manning, and the officers returned to town. In the evening another individual was taken into custody at a beer shop in the Caledonian-road, Islington, on suspicion of being the supposed murderer, but this also proved to be a mistake. On Friday afternoon a man somewhat ans wering the description of Manning was observed enter ing a wood in the neighbourhood of Carshalton. Oae or two persons instantly gave chase, and were speedily joined by others equally anxious to share in the capture. The individual, ascertaining from the cries of the crowd the nature of their suspicion against him, led his pur suers a run of two or three miles, and then turned round and laughed at them. to the latter situation was owing to the kfluence of Mr. Sheil, M.P., when one of the commissioners of Green wich Hospital, and who was indebted for his election to represent Tipperary chiefly to the exertions of Dr O'Connor, Father Laffan, Mr. Phil Fogarty, and other friends of O'Connor. These facts, combined with others already disclosed, would certainly seem to indicate that the force of a sen sual passion was not the only bond of intimacy betwren the murdered man and his supposed murderers. As the investigation, however, proceeds, the mystery which ut present hangs over this and other parts of the case will no doubt be removed. DEFEAT OF THE HUNGARIANS. (From the Examiner.) We have on former occasions pointed out the advan tages that would have accrued to Europe, and to England have be in particul ar , f rom t h e v i ctory o f t h e H ungar i ans, an d the would maintenancesn of Hungar ian opened that independence. wouldg far to compensate pe market nsate o for any diminution of trade in other parts of Europe. A firm barrier against Muscovite aggression would have been established. And a rational constitutional Govern ment would have existed in the east of Europe, as a model for neighbouring nations. But we must now contemplate the reverse of the picture. Hungary, it is to be feared, must succumb in the struggle. Could she, as a practically independent state, have had but a few years to develop her enormous material resources, we should have entertained no fears for the result. We should have had full confidence in her being able to cope, single-handed, with any forces that might have been brought against her by the confederated despots of Europe. But as it is, she has been taken by surprise, and forced into a contest tor which she was not prepared. At its commencement she was without an army, without generals, and without arms; and, worse than all, her seaports were in the hands of her enemies. What Hungary has accomplished under these disadvantages, what a determined and ener getic resistance she has opposed to the united forces of two-empires, affords ample evidence of the internal re sources, moral and material, which she possesses; and shows how firm a barrier she would - have constituted against northern aggression, and how apt a guardian she would have been of western civilization. But the odds against her were such as history has nut yet recorded. The Muscovite Czar hoped to crush, at one blow, the Hungarian nation and all principles of freedom on the Continent; and for this great end, like a desperate gamester, he has played his last stake. Already were his last reserves—the barbarous and uncouth tribes of the Asiatic steppes, armed not with the musket, but with the bow and arrow, Kirgises, Baschkirs, and Calmucks —on their march towards the devoted country. " A fire devoureth before them, and behind them a flame burneth ; the land is as the Garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness." Must we add, " Yea, and nothing shall escape them." Meanwhile civilized Europe determined to maintain the attitude of an " impartial spectator," and to look calmly on while the Hungarians were fighting no less for the liberties of Europe than for their own. But let the Hungarians now be completely crushed, let the great principle of rational self-government once be thoroughly put down, and the system of military despotism predomi nant over the greater portion of the Continent, and lately reinforced by the government of Louis Napoleon, will take root and flourish with more luxuriant growth than ever. This is. and always has been, the very essence of Russian rule. The bureaucratic system of Austria, Prussia, and France, has shown itself as lamentably insufficient to provide for the wants, as to prevent the disturbances, of the respective populations. In Austria, some years ago, no less than 140,000 officials were employed to govern a population of 21,000,000. In other words, about one man out of every 150 individuals was a permanent placeman, besides extra hands employed on special occasions; and the number was daily increasing. In France, Louis Philippe sup pased he should always be able to buy over his political adversaries by the creation of fresh places of honour and emolument. Even in Prussic, where the system shows itself under the most favourable aspect, and where the officials are at least men of education and intelligence, it was a universal complaint that all individual energy had been annihilated, and the welfare of the country sacrificed to routine and paper formulas. But the inefficiency of the system has become thoroughly evi dent, from the events of the last and the present year; and the real means of governing which the great Conti nental Powers at present depend upon, are bayonets and cannon, and the command, by means of a forced con scription, over the population who are to be trained to use those bayonets and cannon against their fellow citizens.

Goodwin, Partridge, Williams, and Edwards , Walbreok Rouse, London. MANAGING DlRECTOR—Archibald Murdoch Burrell, Esq. SECRETARY—James Murdoch, Esq. The barony and estate of Islay, comprising the island of Islay and small adjacent islands is in the same latitude as Edinburgh and Glasgow, and is one of the richest and most productive properties in the west of Scotland. It contains about 140,000 acres, of which 34,000 are arable, the rest being luxuriant pasture. The present rental of this magnificent property amounts at present to 20,0001.; but a Government grant of 30,0001. is now being ex pended in drainage and improvements. The rents are periodically and legitimately increased as the leases fall in, and it is evident that such a property must, under improved agriculture, afford a much larger return. The purchase, it is expected, will be effected for about 500,0001., and it is proposed to raise a capital for this purpose, arid contingent expenses, of 600,0001., in 12,000 501. shares, each shareholder to nominate a life, and the whole body of nominees to be insured out of the rental, so as to secure the repayment of his subscription to every shareholder whose nominee lapses. The remainder of the accumulated rental is to be divided every ten years amongst the surviving shareholders, the last survivor to inherit the estate. On the basis of 12,000 policies, in respect of the 12,000 nominees, it is further contemplated to ingraft the general business of a life assurance company, so as to secure an annual dividend of profits. Thus it will be seen that every person taking a share in the Ton tine, will, under any circumstances, receive back the amount of his investment out of the assurance fund, and will also, by way of in terest on his shares, receive an annual dividend out of the profits of the general life assurance department (and the basis and guarantee indicated cannot fail to make this branch most extensive and •ucra tive) ; he will, moreover, participate, every ten years his nominee survives, in the accumulated and constantly improving rental; and, in the event of his nominee being the last survivor, will become the absoute owner, in fee simple,. of the entire estate. It is also to be observed that, as the nominees diminish in number, the marketable value of the shares will year after year be greatly en hanced. The principles of the proposed Tontine have been maturely con sidered by F. G. P. Nelson, Esq , the eminent actuary of the Me dical and Lavalid Assurance Company, and receiv,d his entire ap probation. The estete Is to be vested in three trustees, resident in Scotland. The affairs of the Society shall be conducted by a board of seven direetors in Scotland, communicating with a board of correspondence in London. Two general meetings shall be herd in Scotland in the months of June and December. The preliminary deposit to be ss. per share (being the maximum allowed under the Registration Act), and a call of 1/. per share shall be made on cmnplete registration. The remainder to be called up by such Instalments as mey be found necessary to meet the payment of the purchase money. . _ Applications for shares to be made to the following brokers &c., of whom prospectuses and forms of application for shares may lee had:—Messrs. John Robertson and Co., 47, George-street, Edin burgh ; William Bell, Esq., 2, North-street, David-street, Edin burgh: Messrs. Buchanan Aitkin and Co., 41, St. Vincent-place, Glasgow; J. C. Foulds, Esq., Canada-court, Queen-street, Glasgow; William Gordon, Esq., Aberdeen ; James Thomas, Esq., writer, Perth; A. Abercrombie, Esq., Paisley; Messrs. Joseph King and Sons, Liverpool ; L. L.

Greenfield, Esq., 38, Throgrnorton-street, London ; of Archibald Murdoch Burrell, Esq., Royal Bank, Port Glasgow; and William Bridges, Esq., at the temporary offices of the Association, 38, Throg morton-street, London. At Bagnigge Wells-road Station a mistake of the same sort was also made. A man was seen to jump froth the wrong side of a Greenwich train yesterday afternoon, and immediately suspicion was aroused, and steps were taken to ascertain whether it was the accused. Even in Dublin the police authorities were thrown into a state of great excitement by receiving a positive assurance that Manning had made his way there. Jersey and Guern sey have been visited by an inspector of the detective force, but as yet no intelligence has been received of the result of his search there. Manning, it is known, went there on a former occasion, when it was prudent to be out of the way; and there certainly is some reason to believe, from information received, that he has now re peated the experiment. If this be so he has had a long start of his pursuers, and has had plenty of time to dis tance them by flight to the Continent. Yet it is positively ascertained that he had only 121. in his possession when the search for him commenced, and that sum would not go far in travelling expenses. Some believe that he is still in London ; and, at a late hour last night, informa tion was brought to the police-station at Stone-end, that as late as Thursday last he was seen in the shop of a barber named Burrell, in Litchfield-street, Oxford-street. The truth is, however, that up to the present time nothing positive is known as to the whereabouts of the suspected murderer, and that notwithstanding the unceasing efforts to arrest him made by the police and by all who know his person, be still re mains at large. Mrs. Manning remains in custody at Horsemonger lane Gaul, where she has not yet been visited by ttey person. She is constantly watched by female turt.keys, to whom she occasionally addresses observations, but none of her remarks apply to the crime with which she stands charged. The loss of the money taken from her, and the scantiness of the wardrobe at her command, ap pear to annoy her very much. Among the letters found in Mrs. Menning's luggage is one in the handwriting of Mr. O'Connor, the contents of which are curious It covers three sides of a large sheet of letter paper, and seems to have been written about that period of their connexion when O'Connor discovered to his surprise that Mrs. Manning was married. It is datt d " Custom house, St. Katharine's-docks," and commences "My dearest Maria." After reproaching the accused with her faith lessness to him, the writer proceeds in a lachrymose strain to bewail his fate in having lost " an angel who might have been his guiding star through life." In one part of the letter his own deceptive character creeps out in a remark to the effect that if he were a rich ma❑ and could afford to pay for the journey he would hasten to Erskine• house (Lord Blantyre's scat in Scotland), where Mrs. Manning vtas then staying, and upbraid her per sonally with her cruelty to him. The signature to this letter, which was written in the corner of the third page, has been neatly cut out, but of the identity of the hand writing there is not the slightest doubt. The letter is directed to " Mrs. Manning, care of Lady Blantyre, Erskine house, N. 8." Singularly enough there were found in one of the boxes of Mrs. Manning, conveying away the property of the murdered man, the Psalms of David, in French, a collection of sacred poems, and a work entitled "Family Devotion for Every Day in the Year." This little inci dent is nearly on a par with Rush's family worship. Among other matters found in the prisoner's boxes were letters of recommendation for situations in or near Lon due, giveu by two di,tiugutshed personages, in which she is described as being kind, affectionate, and piously inclined. Further details have come to light as to the previous history of Manning and O'Co'snor. The father of the former, was it seems, a sergeant of the Somerset militia, and resided at Taunton, where he for many years leased the tolls of the market and of some of the turnpikes in the neighbourhood. At the old man's death nearly 4001. of his property fell to the share of Frederick George Manning, who was the favourite out of a large family of sons and daughters. Up to the period of his marriage with Maria de Roux Manning appears to have been well conducted or at least to have passed as such. At the White Hart, Taunton, his wife seems to have been Manning's evil genius. Mutual jealousies led to constant quarrels, which often ended in blows, and on ono occasion the wife was seen in pursuit of her husband with a large dirk knife, with which she threatened to stab him. Things of course went wrong at the White Hart under such management, and one night last year Mrs. Manning left by mail train, having, as her husband stated next day, robbed him of money, plate, and other valuables to the extent of 3001. or 400/, Under such circumstances Manning fought hard to compromise with his creditors, but they succeeded in recovering 19s. in the pound of their claims. He is described in the neighbourhood to which he belongs as neither clever, nor well educated, but filled with the most inordinate desire to rise into stations of life for which he had not the slightest qualifica tion. It is said that his great inducement to marry Maria de Roux was that he expected thereby to obtain a situation in a Government department. An application for a landing waiter's berth was, it is believed, actually made on his behalf, and was not acceded to, from his obvious want of education. The following incidents in the life of O'Connor are curious, and tend to throw further light upon his cha racter. On arriving in London, from Ireland, in February, 1832, he presented a letter of introduction from his brother, now parish priest of Templemore, near Thurles, county of Tipperary, to a gentleman of influence, living at the time in the Temple. In about six weeks after his first introduction he called on this gentleman, and, much to his surprise, produced a 501. note, which he requested him to take care of for him. The gentleman agreed to do so; and, knowing O'Con nor's poverty, eagerly inquired how he became possessed of it. The latter said, his mother had sent him 151, with which he had purchased contraband tobacco and cigars, and, trading surrepti:iously in them, had amassed the amount of the 50/ note. The gentleman at the time believed the story to be true, and as O'Connor was then endeavouring to obtain a situation in the Excise, he told him ironically that his practical knowledge of smuggling would, no doubt, if known to the Excise Commissioners, prove a great recommendation in his favour. Before the close of the year 1832 Patrick O'Connor had placed in the gentleman's hands no less altogether than 184/., 1001. of which the gentleman invested in the funds at O'Cennor's request. This rapid accumulation of money excited the gentleman's surprise, and almost his suspicions that everything was not right. In the winter 1822 3 O'Connor obtained, through the in fluence o f t h e l ate B i shop of Llandaff, the situation of tide-waiter in the port of London. In the meantime he had been, bit by bit, withdrawing from the gentleman's hands the 84/. not invested, and got back the last of it to buy a bed, which he said he was obliged to t a k e a b ou t with him from:one ship to another in the Th ames , i n th e discharge of his new duties. He had hardl y b een in stalled in his situation of tule•waiter, when he sent an attorney's letter to the gentleman, demanding payment of the whole sum of 184/ Tho gentleman had no ac knowledgement from O'Connor that he had received back 841. of it; and probably legal proceedings would have been instituted had not the gentleman, through his solicitor, who was a friend of the solicitor of O'Connor, preyed the latter's dishonesty by means of the ge n tl e . man's laundress, to whom O'Connor, on discovering that she was a widow, with a pension of 261. a year, and earning in the Temple, as laundress to several legal gen tlemen, nearly 1001. a year besides, made a proposal of marriage, and showed her one evening 50/, which he said he had just received from her , master, b e i ng a por tion of money lent to him. 0 Conhor's solicitor on hearing this refused to have anything more to do with him, and the gentleman sold out stock to th e amount of 1001., and through his Solicitor returned O'Connor his money. After this, transaction the gen tleman made inquiries as to 0 Connor's method of raising money, and found that he had got introduced to the late Bishop of Landaff, Mr. Darby, M.P., and other proselyting Protestants, and that he knew of th e Bexley fund appropriated to the onversion of Roman Catholics. To these gentlemen O'Connor represented himself as one persecuted for his religious doubts by his brother, the Rev. Dr. O'Connor, and other Catholic clergymen, and he also alleged, there not being the slightest ground for the truth of the allegati on, t h at h i s brother had wronged him respecting money b equeat h e d to the family by the Misses robin,. who had b een nuns in the ancient Ursuline convent of Thhrles. By these representations O'Connor insinuated himself into the good graces of the Bishop of Landaff, Mr. Darby, Mr. Broderick, the grandson of the then Archbishop of Oashel, the late Lady Osborne, mother of Mr. Bernal Osborne, M.P. for Middlesex, and others, and obtained from them not only large sums of money, but th e situa tion that afterwards led to his connexion with the Cus toms as their gauger in the London Docks. Promotion Such is the system now predominant. It stands out in all its naked deformity. It is no less the instrument of a President of a Republic than of an Autocrat of all the Russias. We in this fortunate country find some difficulty in realising to ourselves the exact state of things that is understood by a state of siege. Aecus tomed as we are to the equable rule of law, we can hardly picture to ourselves the arbitrariness and brutality of martial sway. We perfectly agree with the limes, in an urticto of Mouday last, that " the euuttul of armed power and military authority is a bad substitute fur established laws and civil justice;" but we cannot admit that "in many parts of Europe the armies alone have saved society, and saved whatever remains of free dom." The evils of seditious turbulence are at the worst but transitory; those of military despotism are perma• nent and enduring. They are destructive not merely of freedom for the moment, but of all hopes of freedom hereafter. But, in point of fact, on which side has terrorism been found? What excesses have anywhere been committed by the people, at all comparable to the atrocities of Ilaynau, or even to the Prussian exe cutions by court•martial ? On this subject we have valuable testimony i❑ the accounts that have from time to time appeared in moderate German papers; and, above all, in that Diary of Auerbach concerning the events of last October at Vienna, of which a translation was recently published enabling the English reader to form a correct opinion concerning the present condition and future prospects of Central Europe. Auerbach is not at all disposed to believe that armies " have alone saved society, and saved whatever remains of freedom." His reflections on the closing of the Diet after the capture of Vienna by Prince Windischgratz are of a different character. " The Diet closed by the troops I all the boasted liberty of the people is illusory and an empty cheat, so long us the soldiery are held in constant readiness to cut short the debates with violence at any moment. In all the movements, in Germany, therefore, the chief object of attack is the military power. We have been, and are still, kept in thraldom, by this povier. Notwith • standing all the professions of attachment and good faith, of the common interests of the people and the princes, the power of the princes is still supported by bayonets, and the popular spirit is everywhere subjected and kept under by force of arms The State has abandoned its proper centre of gravity in the Diet, and transferred it to the army. The struggle will now begin anew." Pending that sure recommencement of the struggle, we shall have an opportunity of observing how far the new theory of foreign policy adopted by a large section of the mercantile classes in this country, and their oracles the Times and Lord Aberdeen, is a sound one; whether, as they assert, England ought to hold herself aloof, whatever infractions of international law may be committed by other states, and not even to raise her voice in remonstrance, lest she should incur the hostility of some powerful sovereign. We shall learn by experi ence (may the lesson not be taught too late!) whether the traditionary policy of England, which watched with a keen eye and upheld with a firm hand the balance of power in Europe—the policy of Cromwell, of William the Third, and of Chatham—is, as we are informed by these modern luminaries, an unnecessary interference in affairs which do not concern us, and an excess of pre caution against imaginary dangers from which our in sular position already sufficiently protects us. For our own part, we may perhaps, until this new-fangled doctrine shall have been confirmed by experience, be permitted to entertain some doubts respecting it. We may question whether, even on a mere' calculation of profit and loss, the balance would not have been in favour of a system which should have encouraged the establishment of constitutional governments and opposed the extension of restrictive tariffs, the usual concomi tants of despotic rule; which should have maintained the dignity of England, even at the risk of a depression of some eighths per cent. in the funds; and by which she would have discharged the duty in our judgment im• posed by Providence on those to whom power is en trusted, the duty of watching over advocating, and en forcing the rights of the weak. It may be that the conquest of Hungary, and the establishment of Russian predominance in the east of Europe, will not be followed immediately by the closing of the Bosphorus to British commerce ; it may be that Hamburgh will not share the fate of Cracow ; and that an European war will not be produced by an attempt upon the part of Austria, sup ported by Russian bayonets, to re-establish her supre macy in Germany. But we must not forget that a nation is permitted, as little as an individual, to violate duties with impunity ; and that for the one, as for the other, a day of retribution, it may be late or it may be early, will surely arrive. A PLEASURE VAN ON FIRE.—On Friday afternoon, a large pleasure van, returning with a party from Hamp ton Court, in passing through Hammersmith was disco vered to be on fire, it is supposed from one of the smokers having dropped a light amongst the straw strewn at the bottom of the vehicle. Some of the female occupants were severely burnt, their dresses igniting before they could make their escape. From the rapidity s ith which the Imes travelled, and the difficulty of procuring water, the van, with the exception of the wheels and axles, was entirely consumed, and the party, some of whom seemed to suffer severely from the burns they had sustained, had to seek another conveyance. IMPORTANT TO MONEY ORDER HOLDERS.---After Friday next, the Act, 11th and 12th Vict., c. 74, comes into operation for the regulation of the money order department of the Post-office. By its provisions, all money orders not presented for payment within twelve months after being granted, become null and void; for example, a money order granted on the 31s t of August, 1841, if not presented for payment on or before the 31st instant, will be valueless, as will all orders granted ante cedent to the first-named period. Never is one's risibility so much excited as when there is a great dearth of news, and our brethren of the press metamorphose their pens into forceps, and devote themselves to the obstetric mysteries of usher ing into the world what they variously christen "Freaks of Nature," " Lusus Naturm," " Monstro sities," "Wonderful Phenomena," "Strange Fish," "Prodigious Cabbages," and so on ad infinitum. Last week's papers were more than ordinarily proli fic of these now ordinary conceptions. The Scotch vied with the English, and the Irish could not excuse themselves from taking part in the struggle. We had noticed innumerable circumstantial records of prodigies in air, earth, and sea, in some score papers before the thought struck us of presenting our readers with an assortment. We afterwards, how ' ever, clipped out in the others over which we were looking quite sufficient to answer our purpose. Be ginning with our own county, then, we find in the papers published in a town within sixty miles to the west of Hull, a precise description of a singular pig, which (be it observed !) was one of a litter of ten from a sow (as if it could be one of a litter from a n n g i a t ' u np r dl ea placed dm and ei n wtbnht ohheat eahrrte. centre likehlan offte fact an itf a t si d e: hewoeppanahrdl was elephant's oot o t isnsh proboscis trunk eye, rnouoofns tkr i which li n wasml wasoi through this trunk it breathed whilst it lived, about o ten minutes ; below this was a second malformation, taherhminnoscternonsr;intuhae ani mals der jaw was like that of the monkey ; and to con clude, one ear was about twice the length of the we have ever seen." The conclusion who will dispute ? The little pig is to ornament a museum. A. Bedford paper has more pluck, however, than to be outdone by any paragraph of the kind, no matter how marvellous, and therefore announces that " Last week, a mare, the property of a gentleman of Isfield, threw a foal, displaying the singular phenomenon of having no fore legs. By direction of the owner of the mare this extraordinary progeny was killed." Murder of a progeny ! High treason beyond a doubt! It is not fitting that all oddities should be porcine and equine, dead or killed, and therefore a South of England journal announces that " there is now living within half-a mile of Bromsgrove, Wor cestershire, four children born at one birth, all girls. The woman, at her previous confinement, bore her husband three children, the whole of whom are also alive, making seven children within two years. As this very tardy increase of the population of her Majesty's dominions renders it doubtful whether the country will not be depopulated, a fashionable London paper lets out the secret that in the month of Octo ber next (we might as well, perhaps, add on Hull Fair day), the marriage of a certain Earl with a cer tain titled lady is to take place. A Glasgow paper, not content with these particulars of belluine and human existences, is ambitious to narrate what may live in a living woman. One of the sex feminine "in Ardrossan parish, having taken, in the dark, a draught of cold water, her stomach became deranged, and two months afterwards she vomited an eel, three inches long, which continued alive for two days, and which has been preserved in a bottle as a curiosity." If one beast can live in one part of the body, surely another may in another, and therefore we learn that " a little girl, aged four years, daughter of Mr. H. Taylor, of Clitheroe, on the 29th of May, accident ally got a snail-shell fast in one of her nostrils. It defied all attempts at extraction until Wednesday week, when the child was seized with a violent fit of sneezing, during which the shell fell to the ground." Supplementary to this may be cited the substance of one of the ps.', graphs which we did not extract. " A mouse was s: - out to make a prey of a muscle, when the muse' - elosed, and the mouse hobbled away with the muscle fast to one of its legs." Space would tail us to tell of apples weighing four pounds nine ounces avoirdupois, hollyocks measuring three and a half yards round, and sturgeons four feet in girth and eight feet long. Of these, and many such marvels, we, however, have before us "full, true, and particu lar accounts." One story, that of the Ross-shire Advertiser, must have special mention. The sky at Balvullich, on the estate of Ord, gave birth, "imme diately after one of the loudest peals of thunder ever heard, to a large and irregularly shaped mass of ice, reckoned to be nearly twenty feet in circumference, and of a proportionate thickness." They must put it "in a bottle as a curiosity," and exhibit it, side by side, with the eel of Ardrossan. It seems that " our own correspondents" of the daily papers, in one or two foreign countries, have been nearly as hard up for news. We commenced reading of a ministerial crisis a b t y M te Madrid, and d n w a e n r n e o , u a n t ce t in he en c t o t n h e a l t us , i , o N n, a t r u v k a t e l z i still suffers from Tic Doloreux." Fearing to become a fellow-sufferer from sympathy, we desist.—Hull Advertiser. • REFUSAL OF A CLERGYMAN TO BURY TEIE BODY OF A BURGLAR.---It will be recollected that a few days since a young man was killed by jumping from the roof of a house while attempting to commit a burglary in Oxford. street. It appears that he was the younger son of a tradesman who resided in the parish of St. Paul, Covent-garden, for nearly half a century, and who is now in business in Wardour-street. The father claimed his son's body after the coroner's inquest, and was desirous to procure his burial in his own family grave in the churchyard of St. Paul's, Covent garden. The usual fees for breaking the ground were paid by an under taker, and three o'clock on Saturday afternoon was the time fixed for the funeral to take place. After the grave had been opened, the Rev. Mr. Jones, curate of the parish, having ascertained the circumstances under which the deceased met his death, positively declined to read the funeral service over the body. The Rev. Mr. Hutton, the rector of the parish, being out of town, Mr. Jones at once sought an interview with the Bishop of London, with a view to obtain his sanction in refusing; and (it is said), although the Bishop de clined to insist, he advised Mr. Jones to read the service in order to avoid any thing disagreeable occurring in the churchyard. Mr. Jones entertaining strong conscientious objections to perform the ritual in such a case, still declined, and communicated his intention not to do so to the deceased's family, who were equally determined to bury their relative in their own private grave; and a very unplea sant scene appeared imminent. The facts having been communicated to Mr. Wilkinson, of Tavistock-street, who is one of the parish churchwardens, on Saturday morning, that gentleman endeavoured to persuade Mr. Jones to overcome his scruples, but without effect; and, as the period for the arrival of the corpse drew near, the greatest anxiety was entertained as to the conse quences of his refusal. At length Mr. Wilkinson pro ceeded to the Clerical Club, in Southampton-street, and, having stated the whole circumstances to several clergy. men present, one of their number, the Rev. Edward 0. Morgan, late of Stockwell, consented to act, purely, we believe, from a conviction that, when duly called upon, a minister had no right to refuse to perform the service. The body arrived at the church a few minutes before thet the clergyman reached the sacred_ie i d ch ifictet,iemo urners b u t, be yond were painful state of suspense in w hich kept, no inconvenience arose. The deceased, though , . only 19 years of age , was st ated to be an adep t in crime and a detective officer present painted out to the reporter, among the crowd near thegrave, two or three well- known cracksmeu. INCENDIARISM AT HENDON. — During the greater portion of Saturday night and the whole of yesterday (Sunday) the village of Hendon presented an unusual scene of confusion, in consequence of a diabolical at tempt having been made to destroy the whole of the extensive property belonging to Mr. Jackson, known as Coventry Farm, situate in the above-mentioned village. It appears that at ten o'clock , on Saturday night flames were seen to rush forth almost simultaneously from two places in the stack-yard. One part of the property on tire consisted of seventy waggon-loads of hay, and the other containing upwards of sixty loads of this same material. Two parish engines attended; but in spite of the most strenuous exertions of all present the work of devastation continued. The moment information reached town, Mr. Staples, chief officer of the C district of the fire brigade, started to the scene with an engine and four horses. It was not until late yesterday afternoon that the fire could in the least be got under, and not until a vast quantity of the property was destroyed. The fire at four o'clock yesterday afternoon, though all danger of its further extension was over, was far from being entirely extinguished, and at that hour an engine was still working on the flames. Upwards of 360 loads of hay were standing in the same part of the premises; and it was owing to the indefatigable exertions of the villagers and firemen from London that the whole was the not consumed.

" Sir.—lt is now three and a half years since I was sorely afflicted with Rheumatic Gout, the suffering from which induced me to try all the proposed remedies that extensive medical experience could devise, without obtaining any satisfactory relief from pain. During one of the paroxysms a friend advised me to try BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, observing that he had in some severe cases taken them himself, and they proved very successful. I in stantly adopted his advice, and to my joy the excruciating torment soon began to abate, and a few boxes restored me to health, since which I have had no return of the complaint. " I trust you will give publicity to my case, that suffering humanity may know how to obtain a remedy for this distressing disease. " I am, Sir, your obedient humble servant, " MICHAEL NASMYTII." The above testimonial is a further proof of the efficacy of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills, which afford speedy relief to those afflicted with gout, rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica, tic doloreux, pains in the head and face, and all analogous complaints. The never-failing effects of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS in curing every description of Gout and Rheumatism, have secured to them a celebrity unequalled by any medicine of past or present times. They not only give relief in a few hours, but re store to perfect health in an inconceivably short space of time. They are equally speedy and certain in lumbago, sciatica, pains in the head or face, and indeed in every rheumatic or gouty affection : in fact, such has been the rapidity, perfect ease, and complete safety of this medicine, that it has astonished all who have taken it ; and there is scarcely a city, town, or village in the kingdom but contains many grateful evidences of its benign influence.

The Kestrel left Halifax on Thursday, the 19th ult., at twelve o'clock P.M., having, besides the crew, 12 passengers, three of whom were for Sydney, C.B. Owing to the thick fog encountered immediately after leaving the harbour, she did not reach the latter place until the afternoon of Saturday, where, having landed her passengers and mail for the Admiral's ship (then in port), and taken in coals, she proceeded on her way to Newfoundland at five P.m. On Sunday night the weather was very hazy, the wind blowing from the S.W. This continued all day on the Newfoundland Sunday, theof g growin g coast. mo more CaptainMeagher the v e ssel neared was on the deck the greater part of the time, exercis ing the utmost vigilance, and keeping up a good look. out on the part of the crew. The course steered was one point more off the shore than he had ever allowed in any of his previous voyages, and one which he imagined would take him clear of every danger. The ship, after leaving Sydney, averaged about 9i knots per hour, and every one on board fully expected to be in St. John's early on Monday morning. All went on well till half-past ten o'clock on Sunday night, when, without the slightest previous intimation of danger, the captain at the time being on deck, and a sharp look-out kept from the forecastle, the ship go ing ten miles an hour, she struck against the rocks, which subsequently proved to be inside of the western head of the much-dreaded bay of St. Shott's. At first the shock was not violent, owing probably to the jib-boom and bowsprit taking the cliff in succession as the vessel ranged ahead. The engine was instantly stopped and backed, and the engineer— to whom too mu c h p ra i se canno t b e given—imme diately took all necessary steps for preventing danger from the boilers, by letting off the steam and drawing the fires. No effect being produced by this, as the packet was under all sail, the captain ordered the foremast to be cut away. The sea at this time was very heavy, and breakers on every side almost prevented the hope of saving the lives of those on board. Captain Meagher ordered a boat to be lowered, and into this four passengers jumped, two of them being females, and with two of the crew pushed off from the wreck, with the lead line attached to establish a communication with the vessel should they be able to effect a landing. This, however, was found to be impracticable, owing to tremen dous surf running, and after a time they cast loose the line and made out to sea, and next morning, at eight o'clock, ran the boat on shore on the beach of St. Shott's, having suffered dreadfully from cold and exhaustion during the night; the females having left the wreck as they came from their beds. All this time the vessel was beating with terrific violence upon the rocks, and threatened every mo ment to go to pieces. At length a way of escape was made clear, through the goodness of God. The carpenter, Mr. Win. Espie, to whose exertions, under Providence, the passengers thankfully attribute the preservation of their lives, succeeded in throwing a handspike into the cleft of a perpendicular rock, and by means of a rope attached climbed up to a place of safety. A hawser was then got on shore, and the passengers and crew drawn up from the wreck, which immediately afterwards filled and fell over. At daylight the horrors of the scene were more clearly revealed. The sea was making a clear breach over the vessel, and several of the oxen, of which there were 14 on board, besides a horse and several sheep, were seen lying dead in the raging waters. The captain all this time was doing everything in his power, and was, with the mate, the last to leave the wreck. He succeeded, through the exertions of his crew, who by the delay caused by the act lost everything save the clothes they had on, in saving the mail bags, which were hauled up by another party at the same moment as the passengers. It is to be hoped that this attention to their duty will not be lost sight of by the authorities here, but that some mark of good- will may be shown without delay to these poor shipwrecked men by the benevolent people of St. John's. Having been very kindly received by the two fami lies of the Finlays living at St. Shott's, several of the passengers crossed overland to Trepassey, from whence a boat was immediately dispatched for the conveyance of the people and mails to St. John's, where they arrived safe on Monday evening last. We are happy to learn that the Kestrel was insured to the amount of 10,0001. sterling; but the incon venience and loss to the company must be con siderable. We learn from one of the passengers in the Kestrel that a large barque was seen on shore at Freshwater, Trepassey Bay. The crew of the wreck were engaged in erecting camps, and " making all snug."

These means of peaceful and argu mentative agitation form one of the noblest products of our free constitution. And it requires a country of much steadiness and wisdom in the practice of freedom to en joy such an institution without the certainty of its being abused. Other countries have been more free than England, at least in the theory of their charters. But none, save the United States, have ever been able to enjoy the benefit of political associations—and it may-be doubted whether, in the United States, it is not gross ly abused and turned to evil. There arc, however, more ways than one - orneutralising or bringing into discredit, the pc wer of association. It may be turned, for example, into treason; at a time, too, when all the objects to be obtained by the most successful treason are to ba obtained by constitutional and pacific efforts. This is the Irish and the French way of de stroying or annulling the right of associatior. There is also another way—for instance, that of employ iug the grave extreme of political associaticn for idle, for trifling, or for needless purposes. There are associations which we could name, got up with no higher aim than merely to kill the leisure or gratify the vanity of individuals. The efforts of some single person, who has marked out himself as the paid secretary, who has succeeded in be coming such, and whose activity perpetuates the associa tion for no better reason and to no greater end, have sufficed in a majority of cases to originate them. Of these trifling associations, however, there are for tunately but few and unimportant. Public opinion does justice by them. There are others which have filled the world with their success and their fame, which have en listed all that was generous, liberal, able, and eloquent in their ranks, which have overwhelmed. the public with their appeals, nay more, which have beat down powerful opposition, even that of the prevailing political party, and which have won their way despite of every obstacle in Parliament, and every hesitation on the part of the most practical and eminent men. Such was the Anti-Slave-Trade Association. Yet what have been its results? Glorious some, but doubtful others. For it disdained to attempt less than the utter destruction of abuses, which an association of less power and zeal might more wisely hare remained content with the resolution to mitigate and correct. Since the palmy days of the Anti-Slave-Trade Asso ciation, we have had those of the Anti-Corn-law L-ague, one of the most just, most noble, and most abl)-worked agitations that any country has seen. Its very success, and the political elevation of all engaged in ir, has tempted a variety of able and of liberal men to institute similar associations without well considering whether the aim justifies such means, and whether the very principles and habits of political association may not be weakened by its application to unfit objects. The Peace Association, whose congress at Paris now attracts public attention, is certainly one of the boldest yet attempted, since its sphere is not merely confined to England, but extends all over Europe. We may, never. theless, doubt if its members are quite conscious of the degree of political boldness necessary to the right dis charge of their self-appointed functions. They must beware, that for the sake of tolerance or favour they are not led to flatter princes and make light of popular interests. That may be the path of peace and toleration to them, but it is not so for the great mass of the people whom they would relieie. Preach mutual peace to France and to England. None will gainsay. For what possible god or right would come of a war between the two countries? But will you at the same time and in the same breath preach peace to Poland, and to Hungary, and to Italy? What can peace meen, in an exhortation to r the people of these countries but submission? If the Peace Association preach that, it will be justly despised. Oe the other hand, to preach justice, mercy, and truth, in re spect of popular rights, to a Czar of Russia or on Ein i peror of Austria, is a mission more for a war society than for one of peace. Is not, indeed, the new holy !alliance a war congress in direct opposition to that of !peace? Does it not found its rieht and permanence 'upon bayonets and bayonets only? Is not the sexy 'principle of th e new l eague of Government, to wl.ich France has disgracefully adhered, the maxim that the army is the true and only support of Governmene and that the one-half or one-third of the male populai in (should be kept idle, in arms, in uniform, and in pay, in trder to support a chief governor an d a doz .n polit:ciaes in the task of coercing th e rest ? Armies, in fact, are now avowetlly kept for the pur -1 oses of police, and not only for police at home, but teroad. Russia would invade Hungary and govern t, eland. Austria has stip u l a t e d to d o the sae eby !Bavaria. The King of Prussia is the great police magis trate of Germany. What is L )hia Napoleon but a general of gendarmerie, not only for his own purposes to France, but to do the cardinals' bidding in Rome. If it is this power of mutual oppression that the associatien whose congress has met in Paris purposes to abet, then ive us a war and resistance association, as something ore frank, more manly, and more for the interest of umanity at present, and of permanent peace for the uture. [ n The wars now prevailing in Europe are those of dy asties against nationalities. We doubt its being in the tower or within the scope of the Peace Society either to persuade dynasties to gi ve u p t h ose nat i ons wh i ch abhor persuade dynasties to give up those nations which abhor dhem, or to persuade nationalities to forget what is most iiveted in the popular affections. The only solid basis dn which to establish peace, would be the allowance to lath nationality to develops itself according to its nature find its tendencies. Let there be a French, a German, an Italian. a Selaveniata and a Russian empire. Each ould be too strong to fear the other, each too content desire conquest. But the will of the nation in these nd other things sh ou ld p reva il over the interests and 1 a prices of a dynasty. A dy nasty i s war l ike.

The merchants of Manchester hive just had the singular felicity of enjoying the ex visite talent of Madame Sontag in Norina, in Don liasquale, a part in which she never played in past time, aid in which, from delicacy towel ds Madame Alboni, she did not appear at her Majesty's Theatre this year. It) is needless to say how admirably she is adapted for the in erpretation of this character. Grace, elegance, spirit, and espieglerie marked her acting, while in the celebrated m9rceaux of the opera her voice revelled in the most fanciful pas.sages of ornament: at one moment she uttered traits of pure and curiously melodic power ; next came chromatic diversions in the highest degree eccen tric; but at the same time severely correct, and never sol much detached from the ruling intention of the composer as not to be perfectly germane to the subject. The contrast between her sylph-like figure and the giant form of Lablache told with the greatest effect, and the manner in which the two unrivalled artists elicited each other's perfections, in the harmony of vocal execu tion and dramatic action, was truly admirable; almost every morceau of the opera was encored. Calz , lari's " Come gentil" met with the same honours. F La bleche, who, at a moment's notice, took the part of Belletti (who was suddenly indisposed), was warmly and justly applauded. As to the great prima donna, no sort of ovation was omitted —encores, recalls, and bouquets attended her exertions. She will, no doubt, remember Manchester with pleasure. Off the stage she has been the object of the greatest respect: the principal noblemen and gentlemen came from the neighbouring seats to pay their devotions; the kind and amiable mayor of Manchester tendered his services immediately on her arrival, and the manufacturers whose establish ments she visited nokonly personally attended upon her, but insisted upon her acceptance of samples of their manufactures. SOUTRAMPION. — About a fortnight ago a French gentleman and his lady, with a child and a female ser vant, came to Southampton from Jersey. They put at Goodrich's hotel and lived in first-rate style. After remaining sevt ral days in Southampton they tot k a ea..b to Bishopstoke station on the London and South-Western Railway. The servant was ordered to return to South ampton and desire the landlord to pay the cabman; the gentleman with the lady and child started for London. When the servant returned to the hotel the landlord re fused to pay for the cab, as his bill had not been paie; and it being discovered on inquiry that several trades men in the town had been victimised in a similar manner, the Southampton inspector of police proceeded to London and stationed himself at the Post-office at St. Martin's-le-Grand, where it appeared from a letter written in French, in the possession of the servant, the gentleman expected letters directed to initiale. The lady and gentleman appeared, were given into custody, and were conveyed to Southampton gaol on a charge of swindling. They were taken before the local magis trates, anti stated that they were acquainted with some distinguished English families, and related to noble French families, that they fully expected remittances from France. and fully intended to pay what they owed. They were remanded back to prison to awa i t t he a rrival of the remittances. They call t hemselves Count an d Countess lle Berryer. They have written several letters to distinguished persons , both in En g land and France, funds. while in prison, requesti nglt was announced when the distri bution of prizes S oc i e ty of Artsin June last, that the Society h ope d to bewamade by enabled Royal Highness Prince Alb er t at t h e organize a great national exhibition of manu f ac tures in 1851.

DEVONPORT—FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Friday evening, a very melancholy accident occurred, has resulted in the death of the Hon. Thomas Graves (son of Lord Graves), a naval cadet on board of her Majesty's ship, Impregnable, at present stationed at this port. The decelsed, who was an amiable and premising youth, was cros , ing the harbour in company with some other young gentlemen, when the boat upset, and they were precipitated into the water. They were, however, soon picked up, and all were saved, with the exception of Mr. Graves. The body has been found, and an in quest is to be bold. ~--1. NEW WORK BY THE AUTHOR OF "VANITY FAIR."
