;pirit of the Public Journal,. (Prom the Daily News of this day.) Every week now unfolds new aspects of the Presidential Election—the most important Presi dential election for half a century. All the illus trative incidents are fresh, and some of them are very strange. The most important move perhaps is the revival of the Bull of Gregory XVI. against negro slavery, which we publish textually in another part of our columns. The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, Mrs. Stowe's brother, edits the most flourishing religious newspaper in the United States—the New York Independent. In a number of that paper, of 28th August, the editor relates an anecdote of a wealthy citizen finding to his surprise that his Irish coach man, a Catholic, was not going to vote on the De mocratic side on the present occasion. It has been so completely a matter of course for the Catholics to vote on the " Democratic'' side, and it usually takes so long to convince a body, like that of the European immigrants, that a change of pri nc ipl es is covered by the old t erm, t h at all the world con chided that the entire Romanism of the Union would go for Buchanan. The citizen inquired his coachman's reasons for intending to vote for Fre mont. The man replied that it was contrary to his religion to vote on the pro-slavery side. The Catho lics who did so, he declared, were ignorant of the Pope's Bull • as they w e ll m i ght be i n Amer i ca, since the Bull is omitted from the Prayer-books of American Catholics. He brought his Irish Prayer book to his employer, who handed it to Mr. Beecher, for the publication of the Bull. It appeared in the Independent of August 28, headed by a woodcut representing the Pope blessing a kneeling negro. Of course, the Ball was known to American Catho lics when first issued ; but Bishop England, of Charleston, took upon himself to decide that the slavery denounced was that of Mohammedan coun tries, and the trade of the African coast, and the Bull was suppressed in religious books, and allowed to drop out of sight and out of mind. Its applica tion to American slavery is so clear that it required the audacity of a political priest to ignore it. Its publication in the Independent produced so strong and so immediate a sensation that an edition, in pamphlet form, of 40,000 copies was issued as soon as it could be got ready. ' Of course, the Indepen dent is reviled in the religious world of the South as having become a political newspaper; but there is no excluding a Papal Bull from the range of ecclesiastical topics, whatever may be its political effect. The Catholics have in this case learned something new within the pale of their own church ; and the immediate effect is carrying over the Catholic body in the United States to the side of Fremont. The last American census gives the number of Cathol'...c churches as 1,112, and the accommodation in them as for 620,950 ; explaining that this retarn gives no id ea o f the real numbers, as worship is held in school-room; private houses, and public halls, where churches do not yet exist. At the lowest computation, the accession of the bulk of the Catholic body may probably suffice to turn the scale is; 'Fremont's favour. Another iwaication is the vehemence excited in both particr,s by the result of the Main elections. An nide:Lai dependent of the President's had con fidelitiy betted on a majority of 6,000 against the Re :publicans. The first move, under the impulse of Disappointment, is to organise means for disallow ing the elections, if Fremont should be the success ful candidate. Absurd and incredible as such a proposal appears, it is certainly entertained at Washington. Some of the Southern leaders say openly that " Fremont will not be allowed to take his seat." We shall see presently how his exclusion will probably be attempted. His friends, mean time, are regretting the exultation with which the Maine elections have been received. It is true, they say, that no single symptom could be so favourable as this demonstration of the sound re publicanism of the State which opens the electoral movement in New England : but it is too soon for confidence. Failure in Maine would have caused despondency - and succ ess must not induce secu rity. The Maine elections were the topic of the day when the last mails were made up. Another fresh and timely disclosure is that Fre mont was offered and refused, at this time last year, an authorisi3d and deliberate offer from the Demo. cratic party of nomination for the Presidentship. Governor: Floyd, of Virginia, was deputed by th e leading ' men o f th e party, rorth and South, to offer tKeir services to Col. Fremont, and two inter views took place at New York, in September, 1855, whiela resulted in Fremont's replying that, regard in the repeal of the Missouri Compromise as he d = id—as an infamous breach of pledged faith—he could not accept nomination by the voices of its supporters. The fact is now elicited by circum stances from a friend and fellow-traveller (at that time) of Fremont's—the Hon. George Bates, who made his statement at a public meeting. The de• light of the one party and the fury of the other at this disclosure may be imagined. Another incident is the wide circulation of a chronological record of Mr. Buchanan's votes, put forth by the Richmond Enquirer, under the head ing, "A Record without a blemish." It is a sign of the blindness and imprudence of Southern poli ticians that such a panegyrist should not see that his record must injure his candidate more in the North than it could benefit him in the South. The dates given are twelve : In 183% Mr. Buchanan supported the Gag Bill—(the act whi•ch prohibited the transmission of anti-slavery documents through the Post-office). 1n.1836 he voted for the admission of Arkansas 48 a slave state. In 1836-7 he voted to reject petitions for the abolition of slavery in the district of Columbia. In 1837, he voted for Mr. Calhoun's construction of state slavery, by which the South engrossed federal ll'Aterity. In 1338, 1339, and 1340, he voted with Southern members for the suppression of anti-slavery petitions. In 4844-5 he voted for the annexation of Texas. In 1847 he sustained the Clayton compromise. In 1850 be proposed and urged the extension of the Miahouri compromise to the Pacific Ocean, for the en largement of slave territory. In 1850 he voted for the repeal of the compromise ; also for the enlargement of slave territory ; and urged strict enforcement of the Fugitive Slave Law. Ia 1851 he opposed the action of the Pennsylvania Legislature for contravening the Fugitive Slave Law. In 1354 he negotiated for the acquisition of Cuba. In 1856 h e supports the principle of the Kansas Nebraska Act—that is, the extension of slavery over free soil. To sum up, " he never gave a vote acainst the rote rests of slavery, and never uttered a word which could pain the most sensltive Southern heart." Such is Mr. Buchanan, by the • ony of his supporters---the s ame men who vvui testimony at this time last ye ar , h ave been glad etn ftllpielSio'bo rn Fre,-Jnt for th e i r candidate. lat do uth t ern- hey pro- P°se in case of the success of the one or the other? Such proposals as the following are stron g - signs of t he time. If Mr. Buchanan succeeds he is pledged to the carrying out of the Cincinnati programme_ Tlan—that is, " ascendancy in the Gulf of Mexico," the annexa tion of Cuba, and the "settleme mi t no s O; the slavery question" by swamping the freen tates—a thing more easily proposed than ach. If, on the other hand, Fremont succeedsillzie.ovinsdie be excluded all withdrawn from the chair by its powers before be can grasp them. Ia tellinegwords of Buch anan's supporters, "it is erranged Carolina to call th e legis latures of Vi rg i n i a, South arolina, and Georgia from the Union to concert measures to withdraw before Fremont can get p,eosesfesosi)on. of the army and Geyer navy and the purse-strint nor Wise is actively at workparlerid7yniranett matter. th© erner- The South can rely on the gency contemplated. The question wllqnsou7staiiii wthieeir. ther the people of the South leaders." This is Washington dispose to Ne w Orleans. It is of itself enough to P A ) m t s h e e r O ri e l ca th n e s assertions made, through the Times, by ls orgy the of at of in England, that disunion is merely ti t ! , a f ew fanatics. But the Virginia or„ Buchanan party express " their hope that the e pious South, with its law-and-order-lovine plan ters, w ill, through Mr. Bu c h anan, make such an impressi on on the middle States as to induce them to join for the exclu s i on of the North from the Union- Au extension of the slave holding territory to the neighbourhood of the great lakes, so as to include Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Pennsylvania, an alliance with Russia and Brazil, and the pos sess i o n of Cuba, will, it is supposed, serve the purpose of stemming and turning back the torrent of i n fid e lity, materialism, sensuality, agrarianism end anarchy that threatens to, over whelm.' us fr eiu the pro lifi c hive of nor th ern Europe." On thi n Vi rg i n i an manifesto in fa vour of disunion follows one from South Carolina, no less emphatic. The Ch ar l es t on M e rcury sap:— " There is not a single public man in the limits of our State, not one of her present representatives or senators in Congress, who is not pledged to the lips in favour of disunion. We have had enough of the 'glorious union.' . . . Athoroughly organised disunion party is the desideratum, and until such be formed at the South, all time devoted to poli tical discussion will be time wasted." Such is the constitutionalism, the political mo rality of the Slave Power. If it can obtain its own candidate 'it will enforce its sectional Policy on the free North by the help of the Czar, and a buccaneer ing foreign policy. If it loses its candidate it will c ornit treason ; and it is now preparing to do so. (From the Times.) vi rot a man of leisure Lord Stanley must be,— sen teniber at any rate !

PO LICE INTELLIGENCE.—Oct. 2. BANK RETURNS. The Council of the Society of Arts is about to pub lish a list of 210 objects connected with science and the useful afts, which they conceive to be foremost among the desiderata of the day. They propose to reward by premiums the description, importation, or production of diverse raw materials, and the invention or improve. ment of machinery for the accomplishment of specified purposes as well as new processes and methods of manu facture. The council, in issuing the list, urge upon the members of the society generally, and others, the im portance of communicating detailed accounts of new processes in the arts or methods of manufacture, of any new mechanical arrangement by which these may be simplified, or labour saved, and of any novel application of raw materials, whether previously known or not, to useful purposes. They admit the possibility that some of the things set down as to be done may have been al ready accomplished ; but in such cases the knowledge of them is limited, the facts not having been made public. It is the object of the society to evoke discussion on the subjects with which it deals, to see that nothing is con cealed which may in any way tend to promote the good of all, and to record the facts and opinions thus elicited. The weekly meetings and the Journal of the Society of Arts afford the requisite facilities for effecting this, and the council earnestly hope that the °pp( rtunities thus given may be taken advantage of. The society is willing to receive communications on subjects not included in its list, but in all cases expressly reserves the power of rewarding any communication according to its merit, or of withholding the premium altogether. The following is the list of the desiderata enumerated under the heads of manufactures : For the production of a lustrous wool, to be used in lien of silk, in the manufacture of fringes, carriage -laces, &c. For the best sp ec i mens o f woollen velvets and velveteens, of a moderate price, not liable to fade or become rusty, and especially suitable for furniture and the interior of carriages. _ _ _ LAMBETH.—ALLEGED INDECENT ASSN:MT.-Mr. Edward Shearer, a person of respectable appearance, who was represented to be a clerk, appeared before Mr. Elliott to answer to a summons charging him with committing an indecent assault on the person of Eliza. beth James.

On Sunday morning last, between two and three o'clock, the de fendant came to her bedroom, and on seeing him she asked him to go out of it, but he refused, and got into bed to her. She asked him if he wanted to get her into trouble, and he replied that he did not, but if he did he should get her out of it. He remained in her bed two hours, during which time she fought and struggled bard with him, and when he got out of bed, she got out also, and went to the house of her brother. She told defen dant she was going to the house of her brother, and he asked her not to do so, saying that if she did he should not come to her room again. Mr. Solomon—You swear that what occurred was without your consent? Witness—Yea, sir, quite. My mouth was bleeding when I got to my brother's house, and was caused by Mr. Shearer in the scuffle, but I don't say he struck me on purpose. There was no lock or belt to my bed-room by which r could fasten it.

She acknowledged that she had ample opportunities of complaining of the defend ant's conduct, for from the 17th to the 25th a lady and gentleman came to stop at the house, and during that time the defendant had abstained from visiting her bed room. The witness denied saying to the defendant on the Sunday morning that she should have some money from the defendant for all he had done, but could give no reason for going away from the house on that morning, no more than any of the other mornings on which the defendant had been to her bed. The brother-in-law of the last witness and his wife were called. The former said that on calling on the de fendant on the Sunday morning, he said he could not deny the charge, and was willing to make an apology, but denied having any connection with his sister-in la w.

There are several old workings or shafts in connection with the and these are separated from the present workings by a partition for the purpose of keeping out the foul air. Whilst the colliers were at work a portion of the partition walls gave way, and there was in stantly heard a tremendous rush of water into the workings in which the men were employed. Seeing the imminent danger in which they were placed, the hands in terror and consternation ran in every direction in order to make their escape, and most of them succeeded in getting upon a higher level, and so got out of the mine before the water had attained a height of two or three yards. There were several, however, who were employed in workings which prevented them escaping from the lowest level except by rushing into one of the old higher levels, in which there is no air, and it is stated that, in the event of their having run into these levels to avoid being immersed in the water, they must have met theil- death by suffocation. There were about 25 ponies in the mine when the occurrence took place, and before the colliers, who were fortunate to attain the high level, could be taken up the shaft, they saw the ponies floating on the surface of the water, and there can be no doubt that all of them must have perished. As soon as the news of the accident was made known the scene around the shaft of the pit was most distress. ing, the friends and relatives of the colliers known to be employed in the mine flocking to the spot in large num bev, and evincing the most painful anxiety as to the safety of the men. 19,618 For any improvements and extensions of the processes known as " nature printing," to be accompanied by speci mens. • For an elastic material for tubing suited to the convey ance of gas, and not liable to bu affected by alterations in temperature, or to b 3 acted upon by the gas light. For a ready moans of extracting grease stains from the finished surfaces of leather goods of a light colour. Soon after the accident the number of the hands who had been conveyed up the shaft was ascertained, when it was found that 15 were missing, all of whom, it is con• fidently asserted, must have peri-hed. During the whole of yesterday and to-day every exer tion has been made to stop the rising of the water, but in vain. Last night it was reduced in height by about a yard, but this morning it had again risen three yards higher, and at the pit-mouth there is a depth of about 30 yarls of water from the surface of the working level into which it burst. The immense volume of water which there must be in the mine will be understood when we say that the working levels broken in upon occupy an area of six acres ; and it is said that it will be at least a month before it can be cleared out. , and Co 46,236 Newbury Bank, Newbury—Bunny & Slocock 19,390 Newmarket Bank, Newmarket—Eaton, Ham mond, and Co Norwich.

Another has a plan for per petual motion ; the power is to be always working and never exhausting itself, and the more you work it the more work there is still in it. He has also a bank on the same principle, that you may draw upon for ever without any danger of stoppage, and no capital all the time. This gentleman is a Scotchman. An Irish friend entertains a sober conviction that England owes somewhere about five hundred millions to Ireland ; he can give the exact figures. Another has devoted all his life to discover the author of Junius, and has discovered beyonda doubt that,— we f orge t j ust now which of them, is the ma n . Th en t h ere is our very excel lent friend who's so strong on the currency ; and the other who's so much to say about the National Debt. When could Lord Stanley give them a hearing ? They are all of them very clever, very good tempered, and will Lear almost anything being said to them or about them. It is just pos sible—we will not say more—that Lord Stanley might disabuse some of these gentlemen of their opinions, in which case he would confer a great benefit on society. At all events, this appears to be the sort of game that he likes, and we should have no objection to lend him a shooting. The gentleman who has already found in Lord Stanley so patient a reader and so obliging a cor respondent is Mr. Samuel Pope, Honorary Secre tary of the United Kingdom Alliance for the Sup pression of the Liquor Traffic. For our part, we believe the Maine Liquor Law, as it is called, to he as purely American and as impossible to be transplanted to this soil as slavery, or tar-and feathering, or the general use of cowhides, bowie knives, and revolvers. It simply won't do here. As it i s an u tt er i m p oss ibili ty there is no use wasting words upon it. I n th e discussion of im possibilities there cannot be fair play between a man of common sense and a man destitute of it, for when a thing's clean impossible it may be defended for ever, there being only one answer—viz., that it is impossible. So Lord Stanley's first step was a false one, for, believing the Maine Liquor Law to be impossible in this country, he began to argue against it on the supposition of its being not only possible, but actually adopted. The Greek proverb asked, " What if the sky should fall ?" and an swered, " We should catch plenty of larks." What kind of bird or b eas t we s h ou ld catc h if Parliament ever passed a law forbidding the sale of beer, spirits, wine, and every form of intoxicating drink, we do not know ; nor is there any occasion to go even so far as the Greek proverb does in our speculation on the subject. We all of us drink—those, at least, who can—something or other, either fermented liquor, or tea and coffee, which are as bad, if not worse. The drinkers, especially the drinkers of strong drinks, will always so outnumber, and outwit, and outface, and outdo those who do not drink, and the beer-drinkers will always so dominate over the tea drinkers that such a law will never pass. That is a fact anterior to all argument.. The other day Mr. Berkeley received from his constituents at Bristol a box of church oak, set with brilliants and worth a thousand guineas, for the zeal and ability he had displayed against a bill for the further clos ing of public-houses on Sunday. That's a fair specimen of a British constituency. Drinking lies at the basis of the British constitution, which, like some of our cathedrals and several capital cities of Europe, may be said to float. The elector drinks at the expense of the candidate, and the r.,cruit at her Majesty's expense, as the preliminary of the solemn engagement that follows. It's the common talk of Teetotallers that we make every occasion of life a pretence for drinking. Lord Stanley says that we spend from fifty to seventy millions a-year in strong drink. With these unbounded means, this uncontrollable appetite, and this immense capacity, we shall continue to drink, and no measure to pre vent us will ever get further than the very thres hold of the Legislature. No doubt, many of us drink too much, and still more of us, who can afford it, eat too much, though Mr. Pope says nothing about it. The doctors say that more constitutions are injured by much eating than by much drinking, and we believe it. Tea and coffee, too, play their part, though a very insidious one, in undermining constitutions. These are questions of more or less, and everybody must settle them for himself. But at our present rate of progress, of deteriora tion, it will be at least ten thousand years before we are ripe for a compulsory enactment on the sub ject. We must first have been voluntary Teeto tallers for as m any ages as have intervened since we painted our skins and drank tho blood of our enemies. • Lord Stanley goes into the question with all the simplicity of a dupe on the Ist April. Re con siders, successively, the prudence of the proposed measure, its look to the country at large, the open ing it would give to smuggling, the dearth of amusement it would create, its effect ou the re venue, its interference with a habit of self-com mand, the difficulty of drawing up the interpreta tion clause so as to include all intoxicating sub stances and those only, the evasions that would follow, and, meanwhile, the odium brought on , societies for voluntary temperance. On all these points Mr. Pope is delighted to join issue, and we are bound to say that, though his argu ments occasionally remind one of the third cup of tea, he has, in one or two instances, the best of the noble Lord. The noble Lord, however, returns to the charge, and Mr. Pope replies ; and there is no reason why they should not go on till they have got to the bottom of the teacaddy. Indeed there is a maudlin tone about Mr. Pope's concluding remarks which seems to show that he, at least, had exhausted his stimulant. But only think of a correspondence extending to four of our colu mns between a, nobleman and a gentleman gravely discussing the pros and cons of a measure rendering it criminal to sell a glass of ale ! Supposing that either of the correspondents really has his wits about him, and has also his heart in the question, there is an obvious way of dealing with it. We suggest it with the utmost diffidence, because it is practicable, and we know how disgusting such suggestions always are. When our neighbour in the country invites us to join him in indicting half the roads iu the county, we ask him why he allows ruts axle-deep in the road before his own lodge gates. The temperance people are quite welcome to drink as little as they please them selves, and as uuintoxicating; but they can only convert the world and convince Parliaments by the force of example. When they can exhibit alert . ° com munity in health and strength of body ardmind, " wealthy, witty, and wise," they will be sure to have admirers and followers. This is but a dreary world, and the greater part of mankind are still in quest of better cheer than it has yet afforded them. They look about in vain for warm hearts, strong hands, kind looks, sympathy, sincerity, and all that constitutes friendship. Anybody can under stand how it was that the first Christians found such favour with that blighted, desolate, heathen world, when people could say, "How these Chris tians love one another l" Tho temperance people have only to set an example of the virtues which they say are the result of their principle, and they will gain ground every day. To be candid with them, we don't think they over will get oven a moiety of the population ou their side. In great towns, at least, fighting for our lives against bad air, and noise, and worries of all sorts ; compelled to work at unreasonable hours, enjoying but in different sleep, and having to get up our spirits for great occasions, we doubt if any but the strongest constitutions can go through it all with out the use of stimulants; and very sure are we that stron g tea and coffee, though they may suit some people, are not the most harmless of them. But, besides example, let the temperance people set their wits to work and employ their resources to provide means of recreation, opportunities of fresh air, regular and frequent occasions for innocent gathering, and all that they expect eventually to supply the place of the gin palace and our "drinking customs." It won't do to come before a jovial, drinking community lie ours, with a new com mandment, is no age for prohibitio n s .' " Thou • " t h i a o l: s n , o m t d rin k a ho e t w w in e ." man better.

EXTENSIVE FRAllDS.—Yesterday bills were issued in Birmingham, offering a reward fur the apprehension of a man named Win. Fowler, who bad absconded, having defrauded an Odd Fellows' lodge of between 6001. and 7001. He had been secretary for five years, and, besides embezzling nearly 2001. of the inoney paid by members, he hail defrauded thu lodge of 500/. in a rather ingenus manner. Tho lodge having some money to the he pro posed that they should lend biro 500/. on the mortgage of 7 houses he possessed; and, having shown the trustees and their surveyor the property, ths mortgage was exe• cuted and the money handed over. Upon his absconding the trustees proceeded to take possession under the mort gage deed. They found, however, that the property was already iu the possession of a person who had executed a mortgage prior to theirs; and en reference to their deed they discovered that their mortgage bad been executed, not in respect to the houses pointed out to them by their abut of a piece of l ease h o ld l and on the oppo bs' ofi e e t e e e r n e s t l i a d i rY e d : il t b h : a s if t a r i e r e whicht h , Li on caused in n: e t h a .. brickexsicnifelemeoin h had been Manclibster Unity, A FE IV NOTES ON MISERS. (From Salad for the Social.) One of those misers who have died literally of want was the well-known banker—Ostervald. A few days prior to his death he resisted the importunities of his attendant to pur chase some meat for the purpose of making a little soup for him. " True, I should like the soup," ho said, " but I have no appetite for the meat ? what is to become of that ; it will be a sad waste." The poor wretch died possessed of 12:5,0001. Another desperate else was that of Elwes, whose diet and dress were alike of the most revolting kind, and whose property was estimated at 800,000/. Daniel Dancer's miserly propensities were indulged to such a degree, that on one occasion when, at the urgent solicitation of a friend, he ventured to give a shilling to a Jew for an old hat-- " better as new"—to the astonishment of his friend, the next day he actually retailed it for 18J. He performed his ablutions at a neighbouring pool, drying himself in the sun, to save the extravagant indulgence of a towel; yet this poor mendicant had property to the exent of upwards of 3,0001. per annum. The well-known Nat Bentley (alias Dirty Dick) of London, was the victim not only to a craving for gold, but also for old iron. Another deplorable case might be cited -that of Thomas Pitt, of Warwickshire. It is re ported that some weeks prior to the sickness which termi nated his despicable career, ho wont to several undertakers in quest of a cheap coffin. Ho left behind him 2,4751. in the public funds. Another instance is that of the notorious Thomas Cook. On his physician intimating the possibility of his not existing more than five or six days, ho protested against the useless expense of sending him medicine, and charged the doctor never to show his face to him again. His property amounted to 130,0001. Sir WIP. Smyth, of Bedfordshire, was immensely rich, but most parsimonious and miserly in his habits. At 70 years of ago ho was en tirely deprived of hie sight, unable to gloat over his hoarded heaps of gold. He was persuaded by Taylor, the celebrated oculist, to be couched; who was, by agreement, to have sixty guineas if he restored his patient to any degree of sight. Taylor succeeded in his operation, and Sir Wil liam was enabled to nett and write without the aid of spectacles durin g the rest of his life. But no sooner was his sight restored, than the baronet begun to regret that his agreement had been for so large a sum. His thoughts were now how to cheat the oculist. Ho pretended that ho had only a glimmering, and could see nothing distinctly; for which reason the bandage on his eyes was continued a month longer than the usual time. Taylor was deceived by these misrepresentations, and agreed to compound the bargain, and accepted twenty guineas instead of sixty. At the time Taylor attended him, he had a large estate, an immense sum of money in the stocks, and 6,030/. in the house. A miser of the name of Fescue, who had amassed enormous wealth by the most sordid parsimony and dis creditable extortion, applied his ingenuity to discover some effectual way of biding his gold. With great care and wormy ho dug a deep cave in his cellar ;`to this re ceptacle for his treasure he descended by a ladder, and to the trapdoor he attached a spring -lock, so that, on shut ting it, it would fasten of itself. By and-by the miser disappeared—Lug uiri were made—the house was searched —woods wore explored, and the ponds wore dragged; but no Fescue could they find. Soule time passed on ; the house in which he had lived was sold, and workmen were busily employed in its repair. In the progress of their They drew back the door, and met with the door of the secret cave, with the descended with :a light. The first object upon which the k w o o y rk i at he lock outside. lamp reflected was the ghastly body of Fescue , the miser , they and scattered around him wore heavy bags of gold and ponderous chests of untold treasure; a candlestick lay be 'hie him on the floor. This worshipper of Mammon had gone into his cave to pay his devoirs to his golden god, and became a sacrifice to his devotion. A. SOLDIER OF TIM FIRST DRAGOONS BILL® BY HIS COMRADE.—At Exeter on Monday evening, two soldiers, named Shaw and Wilson, of the First Dragoon Guards, stationed at the Cavalry Barracks, were in their room with other comrades. Shaw was intoxicated, and a quarrel havin7 arisen, he struck Wilson a blow in the face, on which the latter took up a poker and said that if he did it again he would give him "something with that." Sh aw was a d van oi n g for the pu r p ose o f repea ti ng the blow, when Wilson struck him with the poker, pro• duc:n g such injuries that the poor fellow died on the fol lowing m ora i, Wilson is in custody- at the Exeter arracks. ° „ .

A great many witnesses were examined to prove the facts already reported. The jury returned a verdict in each case of "Accidental death, caused by suffocation and poisoning by carbonic acid gas." IMPUDENT BURGLARY AND EXTORTION.—A few nights since Mr. Wilson, law stationer, in Hare woo d- p l ace, Oxford-street, had his premises entered by burglars, who carried off a quantity of legal documents, only of value to the real owners, several pounds worth of stamps, and other property; 1001. worth of parchment stamps was found in the passage, which the fellows had dropped in their flight. Mr. Wilson found in a morning journal an advertisement referring to his lost property, with an intimation that on the receipt of 801. all that had been stolen would be given up. An answer by the same solace was requested in the initial "Q." Finding it an impossibility to obtain possession of his property by any other means, Mr. Wilson has replied to the advertise. went, offering -8/,, but at present no answer has been given, Salop Bank, Shrewsbury— Burton, Lloyd, and Co.

Ws quote the f o lls ing : —Southwick Park, Fareham, Hants, Oct. 31, 1848. Gentlemen, I sincerely thank you for your kind attentive' When I began taking the Revalenta I was in as deplorable: , condition as can well be i mag i ne d . I was confined toolY bed' and so weak that I could neither stand nor walk, sufferill severely from flatulen c y, cons ti pa ti on, an d indigestion, 101,. being compelled to have r ecourse to aperients eve r y secon d v: third day; and, upon ono occasion, I swallowed no less the' seven doses within twenty-eight hours, under medical advice; There was a giddiness in my head, and a singi ng i n my rigl car, that when I turned my bead on the pill ow i t resembled' the sound produced by a light touch on a musical glass. C , had a pain and sort of fullness acr oss th e c h est, a sore twit', and a slight cough ; but the pain around my loins was e: great that I could not remain in th e same position for te. to be just below the ribs on my left side and about Or', minutes all night long. The p r i nc i pal seat of the pain seemed; inches from the backbon e . I commenced taking Du Bawls Revalenta Arabica m orn i ng and evening, boiled in water an 1 salt ; and in less th an a fortnight my appetite was great ', i improved, and flatulency and constipation so far vanisll that I have not tasted a pill or drug of any la v a h,nce. I am much stronger, can walk steadier, A S less like a drunken man, &c.—JeffN PASS, Land-Stewardi - Supported by testimonials from the celebrated Professors e, Chemistry Dr. Andrew Urn ; Dr. Shorland ; Dr. Harvel : i Dr. Campbell ; Dr. Gattiker ; Dr. Wuner ; Dr. Ingrate' Lord Stuart de Decies; the Dowager Countess of Castli— stuart ; Major-Gen.
