On removing the wain- W;:. discovery was made on the old stone walls, of t 541,4 roarkable paintings and works of art, which .. had i e e sstit„ l t ile ancient chapel. Some of the paintings r 0 , wi th angels, about five feet high, in a standing pos ste ith win s of peacocks' feathers, each holding be -4-1101 firth a Piece of drapery, bearing devices of doves, engles, elephants s ad . astles griffins or dragons, and tlie,bll,44B4'haOthers. were Scripture subjects, with legends of r t tsty h"; 4 verses over.

Th following is a list of the engines in attendance on the night of the fire : Belonging to the London Fire Engine Establishment 13 Float County, British, West of England, and Norwich Union Fire Offices, one each 4 St. Margaret's Parish 2 St. Martin's ditto St. John's ditto The Speaker's yard 2 Messrs. Elliott, the brewers at Pimlico 1 Hyde Park Barracks 1 Exchequer Office 1 Admiralty 1 St. James's Palace Victualling Department, Deptford ...... ......... The engines belongini , to Government—with the ex ception of those from Deptford and the barrack engine— were very much out of repair ; and the engine belonging to St. James's Palace, which was a very large one, had no hose. Throughout yesterday the number of persons who visited the scene of devastation was as numerous as on any of the previous days. About twelve o'clock it was considered ne cessary, in consequence of its beiug in a most dangerous state, to pull down the remainder of the wall near the Bi shop's Entrance. A rope was accordingly thrown over it, and after two pulls it fell into Palace-yard. Some of the engines still remain in attendance in case of the fire break ing out again , the coals in the cellars still burning furiously. A great number of workmen were employed throughout the day in clearing the rubbish from the Commons' en trance, which they accomplished about four o'clock, piling the burnt timber together inside the hoard, and sorting out the lead, &c. Sir Robert Smirke, attended by the Usher and Deputy Usher of the Black Rod, and assisted by the Clerk of the Works, &c., was engaged the entire morning in examining the flues, which it is supposed was the cause of the fire. They are placed immediately under a floor of common paving -stone, which, when heated to a certain extent, breaks into a thousand pieces. When the house was re paired some years since the oak floor was placed about a above the stones, and on their giving way the fire easily communicated with the wood, as they communicated almost instanter to the whole of the interior of the house. This, there can be no doubt, was the cause of the fire. COURT CIRCULAR. The Lords of his Majesty's most Honourable Privy Council re-assembled at one o'clock yesterday afternoon in the Council Chamber, and resumed the inquiry respecting the cause of the late fire. The Lords present were the Lord Chancellor, the Marquis Camden, the Earl of Mulgrave, Viscount Melbourne, Viscount Palmerston, Lord Farnborough, Lord Ilill, Lord Auckland, the Speaker of the House of Commons, Mr. Secre tary Rice, Sir James Graham, Sir John Hobhouse,•the Right Hon. Charles Grant, arid the Judge-Advocate-General... - The Hon. William Bathurst, Clerk of the Privy Council, the Attorney-General, and Mr. Maule, solicitor to the Trea sury, were in attendance, as on the first day's examination. The following witnesses were respectively introduced into the Council Chamber, and were examined by the Lord Chancellor, and the other Privy Coucillors, assisted by Mr. Maule:--viz. Mr. Miln e , Commissioner of Woods and Forests; Mr. Pulman, Yeoman Usher of the Black Rod; Mr. Snell, a gentleman who had been in the House of Lords on the day of the fire at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, at which time the smoke and heat in the house were observable ; Mr. Bulley, Chief Clerk of the Exchequer ; Furlong, a labourer employed by the office of Woods and Forests at the House of Lords ; Cress (who was twice examined yesterday), who burnt the Exchequer tallies in the stoves at the House ; Mr. Roberts, of the Exche quer; Mr. Jones (apothecary), and Mr. Hall (of the firm of Cooper and Hall), were examined respecting the testimony given by Mr. Cooper, on the first day's examination, with re ference to a statement of the destruction by fire of the House of Lords, alleged to have been made on the Thursday night, at a town upwards of 100 miles distant from the metropolis. Mr. Halls submitted to their Lordships a pamphlet containing the plans and description of the steam apparatus for warming the House of Commons, erected about sixteen years ago, but which has since been superseded ; and Mr. Phipps, of the office of Woods and Forests. Their Lordships adjourned shortly before 4 o'clock. The Lord Chancellor, Viscount Melbourne, and the Earl Mulgrave, went yesterday, after the adjournment of the Lords of the Privy Council, to inspect the ruins of the Houses of Parliament, and also to view some parts of the offices which escaped the general conflagration. General Montelli, from Colombia, transacted business yes terday at the Foreign-office. It .is expected• that the ceremony of further proroguing . the Parliament will take place to-morrow in one of the Committee Rooms that have escaped the late fire. His Excellency Namik Pacha, the Turkish Minister, and suite, have signified their intention of being present at the grand morning concert at the Mansion-house to-morrow. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1534 THE ARMY. (From the Limerick Chronicle of Wednesday.) Lieutenant-General Sir H. Vivian inspected the 7th Dra goon Guards on Saturday last, at head-quarters. The Lieu tenant-General made his appearance in the exercise field near Caper barracks, a few minutes after one o'clock, accompanied by Lady Vivian, the Earl Glengall and Countess, the Ladies Thynne, Lady King, and several other distinguished persons. Their arrival was announced by a flourish of trumpets, and " God save the King " by the splendid band of the corps, after which the Lieutenant-General inspected the regiment in line, and expressed his entire approbation of the healthy and soldier like appearance of the men. After the field day had termi nated, the General expressed himself in the warmest manner to the Commanding Officer for the high state of discipline of the regiment under his command, and proceeded to the Offi cers' mess-room with his suite, where he partook of a splen did thjeuner prepared on the occasion. The Lieutenant-Ge neral inspected the mess-rooms, messes, school, hospital, &c., and expressed his approbation of the,manner in which those departments were conducted, as well as the general economy of the regiment. On Monday last Major-General Sir J. Douglas, K. C. 8., inspected, in the New Barrack-square, the squadron of the 7th Dragoon Guards, under the command of Captain Bolton, stationed in this garrison. The 18th Regiment has given the following detachments from head-quarters in this garrison :—Two companies to New castle, under Major Pratt and Captain Dillon, with Lieute nants Grattan and Payne. One to Rathkeale, under Captain Graves, with Lieutenant Mitford. One to Killaloe, under Captain Lynar, with Ensign Hon. C. Stratford ; and one to Tipperary, under Captain Huddleston, and Ensign Hon. H. Hare. A garrison courtmartial, Major Doran, 18th Regiment, Pre sident, assembled at the New Barracks on Monday, for the trial of such military offenders as may come before them. Captain Sir W. Lynar, 18th, arrived this morning from Killoloe, to attend a courtmartial on two privates. Colonel Williams, Inspecting Field Officer of the Southern Recruiting District, arrived yesterday in this garrison, on a tour of inspection. The following officers left the army last week : —Lieutenant Story, 37th; Lieutenant Jackson, 75th; Ensign Gillespie, 78th ; Captain Mathias, 79th ; and Ensign Earls, 97th Regiment. Four hundred Chelsea, and one hundred Kilmainham, veterans have this week received their quarterly pensions in the Limerick district. . Three companies of the 2d battalion Ist (or Royal) Regi ment left Dublin on Monday, and two companies yesterday, for Athlone ; the head-quarter division will shortly follow to Athlone to relieve the 14th Regiment, which is under orders to proceed to Mullingar. Upon the arrival of the 14th Regi ment at Mullingar the 27th will march for Dublin. The 81st regiment of foot has been relieved by the 91st, from this garrison, and marched from Birr in three divisions, on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday last, on route for Dublin. The entire corps, under Lieut.-Colonel Maclean, will not be concentrated in Richmond Barracks before the 23d instant, as its numerous detachments distributed through King's and Queen's Connties, and county Galway, cannot possibly be relieved by the 91st regiment for some days to come. The Grenadier company, with its officers, Captain Etridge and Lieutenants Howe and Gilby, have been detached at Bana gher for some considerable space, and marched from thence to Dublin on Monday last. It was with infinite regret that the 81st regiment left Birr, where they had been quartered for the last 18 months ; and this regret was responded to with much sincerity by its inhabitants, whose social hearths were pleasantly familiar to the martial and de maison. Major-General Sir Thomas Arbuthnot inspects the depot companies of the 70th regiment at Cork this day, after inspect ing the 9th depot at Youghal. Wednesday the depot of the 22d Regiment, stationed at Hull, under command of Major Pennefather, were reviewed at the citadel, by Major-General Sir H. F. Bouverie, K. C. 8., who expressed a high opinion of the state of discipline in which he found the troops. The 82d Regiment are to land at Belfast in a few days from Glasgow. The 96th depot are mentioned as likely to leave Kinsale for Tralee shortly. Thursday the 3d Dragoon Guards underwent' their half yearly inspection in the Royal Barracks, Dublin, by Sir Ed ward Blakeney ; their fine appearance and internal economy elicited the gallant General's approbation, which was not un sparingly given.

Reals. According to official documents published in 1740, the Clergy, that is to say, the Collegial Cathe drals, Ecclesiastical Benefices, Abbeys, Monas teries, Convents, &c., possessed a revenue arising from houses, lands, cattle, &c., amounting annually to the sum of 859,806,257 Reals :—A great part of the flocks, as well as the capital of the monastic orders, having been lost and destroyed during the wars of Napoleon ; we shall reduce the sum to 700,000,000 According to the Report of the Committee of the Cortes of 1825, the annual produce of the tithes was 342,919,223 The property of the Jesuits, formerly applied by Charles VI. towards the payment of the Debt, and afterwards restored by order of Ferdinand, is of the annual value of Produce of the ecclesiastical tax called the Santa Crzcsada Produce of the Veto de Santiago Produce of the ecclesiastical tax called the Primicia, or First Fruits The revenue of the real estate belonging to pious and charitable institutions amounts to The edifices, such as Monasteries, Convents, Churches, and other buildings dedicated to religion, represent, at the rate of 3 per cent. on their value, an annual revenue of 5,000,000 20,000,000 2,000,000 60;000,000 60,000,000 19,610,700 Reals 1,247,529,923 Or £12,475,299. Thus, according to Signor Borrego, from whose work on the Finances of Spain we have extracted the above calculations, it ap pears that the overpaid Clergy of Spain are in the enjoyment of 2 P.venues which would more than pay the interest of the national debt. According to the same author, the royal and national parks, forests, lands, palaces, lead and copper mines, are of the value of 3,025,636,500 reals, or about 30,256,365/. sterling.

Lord Brougham is shortly expected in Paris. — Paris Advertiser, FRENCH . PAPERS. (From the Indicateur of Bordeaux ) There is still nothing but indecision on the other side of the frontiers. The Carlists and Liberals are reorganizing their forces, but neither have the courage to come to an engagement. The attempt made by the chiefs of the re bellion on Old Castile has had no result. The insurgents have rejoined Zumalacarregui's corps. This general is taking measures for the prevention of desertion, and the re moval of those chiefs who paralyze his operations. On the afternoon of the 14th there was a battalion of 550 insur gents at Lanchisqueta. Letters from Tudela state that Zumalaca.rregui was there with five battalions and his ca valry, and was proceeding towards the Roncal. His little army suffered considerably from cholera. (From the Sentinelle des Pyrenees, Oct. 16.) A report is current that the Carlists are in great force about Bilboa, and that they have exacted contributions from a great number of the surrounding villages. An at tempt made on the city itself is also spoken of, but so vaguely that we cannot even venture to hazard a con jecture on the subject. The day before yesterday, Don Carlos was at Alamayona, near Mondragon, with the Guipuscoan battalion, commanded by Al zaa. Zumalacarregui was at Callahora. Several pa triotic Navarrese, a number of deputations, and old friends are awaiting with much impatience the presence of their fellow-countryman Mina, in whom all their hopes of subdu ing the rebellion is centred. 4,000 Carlists, under the or ders of Coster, attempted a movement on Santander, but were repulsed. The following, dated the 12th inst., has been sent us from the Fonderie de Biagorry :—" Zui-,rarra murdi is blockaded in the Misericordia. Sagastabelza, with three battalions, occupies Elisondo and the neighbouring villages, Garzain, Eluelea, Irurita, Arroyaz, and Lecaroz. It is not true that Baron Carondelet has blown out his brains." The Diario of Sargossa contains the following communi cation from Tolosa of the 11th of October :—" The Countess of Villafuertes has just received the following notice from the rebellious junta of Guipuscoa 6' 6 If the rebel Rodil causes a single house to be burnt, and if he or any other authority, military or civil, exacts contribu tions from or imprisons a single family belonging to the Royal ist Volunteers, we will give orders for setting fire to the pro perty of that chief, and there shall not remain one stone upon another of all that he possesses in Guipuscoa. May God pro tect the just. IGNACIO DE LARDIZABAL. MANUEL DE CASTANAGA. " Algeria, September. 1834.' " It is said (the Diario adds) that the rebels have begun to put their promises into execution, and have already burnt two houses belonging to Rodil. The loss sustained by the General, in consequence of this act of incendiarism, and the destruction of the fine structure he lately caused to be built in the neighbourhood of Tolosa, amounts to 10,000 duros. The Rector of Alzo has been seized and carried off by the rebels, on account of his being an old friend of the house of Villafuertes. (From the Paris papers of Monday.) The Memorial Bordelais of the 16th instant states that on the preceding day a courier passed through Bourdeaux, who was said to be the bearer of a message addressed by the Queen to the Procuradores, in which several of the re cent acts of that Chamber are severely blamed. This news seems very improbable, as nearly all the recent acts of that Chamber received the approbation of Ministers. Extract of a letter of the 14th instant from Bayonne : " We have just received letters from Bilboa, explaining the exaggerated reports which have lately been spread upon the frontier. An attempt has been made by the insurgents to obtain possession of that important place. Had they suc ceeded, they would have been able to establish a much easier communication with their friends the Tories and the Dutch, who still continue to send them succour by sea. The Queen's partisans, however, gained the day, and the Carlists were driven back with loss. We have received the following de tails :—The attack was not conducted by Zumalacarregui in person, as had been said, for he was in the mountains near Estella. This coup de main was attempted by Zabala, who had under his orders three well-disciplined battalions, with innumerable disorderly bands not half armed. It was said that he had partisans in Bilboa, and relied too much upon their representations. He failed, from the courage and devoted loyalty of the garrison, supported by the Urbanos, and more so by the youth of the first families of the town, who had acted as volunteers. The Carlists sustained a very severe loss in men from the fire from the convent of St. Francis, which is become a strong fortress. We also learn from Bilboa that the cholera has totally ceased in the town, and that the inhabitants who had left it are beginning to return, but a lamentable accident has hap pened to several families who had embarked at Bermeo for Bilboa. The trincadoro on board of which they were was struck by a sudden squall and upset, 30 persons, including four children, going down in her. Not a single being was saved. Notwithstanding the precautions that have been taken, arms still continue to enter Spain by St. Jean-de- Luz. Iron-work for arms arrives by thousands packed in casks. The wood work is manufactured in Navarre." The Memorial des Pyrenees, of Pau, of the 14th instant, states that arms and money were sent, a few days ago, across the Pyrenees, for the supply of the Queen's troops. It is said that the remittances made at different times ex ceed three millions of francs. A letter of the 15th inst. from Geneva says—" We have reason to believe that the Duchess of Berry has lately passed through Switzerland. It appears that she intended to go to Milan either by Mount St. Gothard or the Sim plon, but the bad state of these roads, from the inunda tions, induced her to take that of Savoy and Mount Ce nis ; thus not touching the territory of Geneva. Some per sons are said to have recognized her at Aix les Bains. The frequent movements of our Carlists, backwards and for wards, between Savoy and Switzerland, are thus ac counted for." A letter from Porentruy, in Switzerland, of the 10th inst., contains the following :—" The Poles who were in Switzerland being denounced by almost every Government, are dispersed, and we have now none remaining but those who have been naturalized. The Government of Berne directed the proper officers to draw up a plan for draining marshes and reducing lakes. This undertaking, though at tended with great difficulties, was executed with the utmost precision in three months. Its results will produce immense advantages to the cantons of Berne, Fri burg, Soleure, Neufchatel, and Vaud. Not only will twenty thousand acres be given to agriculture by draining the great marshes between the three lakes of Bicnne, Morat, and Neufchatel, but the surrounding coun tries of Iverdun, Orbe, &c., will gain a very large extent of land. As yet the five Cantons have not settled their differences as to the expenses, which will amount to 2,000,000 f. It appears that the Government of Berne is willing to take upon itself the charge of the whole of this grand improvement ; besides which, M. Lelewel is to make a new plan for forming a communication between the lake of Thoun and that of Bienne." _ The Augsburg Gazette of the 15th inst. has the follow ing from Constantinople, of the 25th ult. :—" The transport of troops into Asia and secret preparations for,war continue. The accounts from Syria are unfavourable. The excite ment of the people is unabated, and Ibrahim will have great difficulty in subduing it. His new partisan, the Chief of the Druses, has been abandoned by his troops. Out of 10,000 men whom he had placed at the disposal of Ibrahim, only 3,000 remain. This chief is considered a traitor by his countrymen, nor does he inspire more confidence at the Egyptian head-quarters. The dominion of the Egyptians is unpopular, and will continue so until their requisitions are complied with. In the environs of Jerusalem many insurgent bands are collected, which have not indeed broken out into action, but keep the Pasha in check by their menacing attitude. The Pasha will not com mence the attack, but he is very far from being satisfied at seeing them organize their force under his very eyes, with the intention of attacking him. This is a critical situation ; nevertheless Ibrahim remains inactive. He seems to have lest all confidence in himself, and, intimidated by the re proaches of his father, he manifests a disposition to wait the course of events. Whether this will answer his purpose the sequel will show : his adversaries know what they want, and act accordingly. The plague continues to make great ravages in the capital : prayers are publicly offered up in the mosques for the removal of the terrible scourge. All the hotels of the Franks are carefully closed, and their in habitants adopt the usual measures for keeping out the disease. It has probably been aggravated by the intense heat that. has prevailed here. Hitherto the army has been entirely spared, which fact may be explained by the greater precaution and cleanlinesss which the military are compelled to observe." A letter of the Ist inst. from Nauplia, says—" Callerghi and his adherents have been taken and shut up in the Pa lamide, an immense state prison, in which Colocotroni is confined. King Otho is inclined to show clemency towards his enemies, but the Regency will not comply with his wishes, being determined to put an end to the conspirators, believing that a severe example will tranquillize the general agitation, but I am afraid that, do what they may, Greece will never be at rest ; there are too many contending in terests, and a federal public would perhaps be more suitable to the country." A letter from Tripoli, in Barbary, datsd the Ist instant, announces that " the troubles with which this regency has been disturbed for the last two years are at an end. On September 20, a brig of war arrived at Tripoli from Constantinople, bringing the Sultan's firman, investing Ali Pasha with the Pashalic of Tripoli, and ,the usual ceremonies of installation took place. The effect was prodigious ; nearly all the rebels immediately submitted, and the rest fled in every direction. The Consul-General of France, M. Schwedel, who had been for a long time furnished with letters of credence from his Government to the Sovereign of Tripoli, as soon as that prince should be invested with due authority, lost not a moment in proceed in; to the palace and presenting them officially. His ex ample was followed by the other Consuls. The Ottoman brig declared such parts of the coast as had not submitted to be in a state of blockade. But right and force united prevail, and acts acknowledging the authority of the Bey are daily arriving at his palace. Tripoli is filled with re joicings, and the merchants are eagerly engaged in writing to their correspondents acquainting them with these happy events, and renewing their orders, which had been sus pended by the insurrection. Several houses have offered to advance considerable sums of money to the Pasha." FRENCH FUN Ils.—PAkts, OCT. 20. Fire per Cents., 10511 85c. 60c. 75e. Four per Cents., 92f. —c.

BRUSSELS, OCT. 19.—The Minister of the Interior has just applied to the Chamber of Commerce for its opinion on the question whether it would be advisable to have a Bel gian Naval force to protect, if necessary, our commercial Navy. A trial was made yesterday of the steam-carriage lately arrived from England, and which was put together at Vilverde. The trial was made near that town, on a portion of the iron rail-road which is entirely finished, in the direction of Manes. We understand that it ran about a quarter of a league in five minutes, and when it reached the place fixed for the limit of the experiment, it was observed that it was stopped as quickly as a diligence. A Prussian Engineer was present at the trial, which attracted also a great number of spectators. M. de Gerlache, President of the Court of Cassation, has been chosen one of the corresponding members of the institute of France. Field Marshal Baron Vincent, formerly Austrian Am bassador at Paris, died lately near Nancy, at an estate to which he retired four or five years ago, when his ill health obliged him to renounce public life. Baron Vincent en joyed in the diplomatic circles a great reputation for probity and ability. We had him in Belgium as Governor General of the country, in the interval between the overthrow of the empire in 1814, and the organization of the kingdom of the Netherlands. Baron Vincent distinguished himself in the exercise of this kind of dictatorship only by acts of kindness and justice. He was not quite a stranger to our country, having married a Mademoiselle de Rooan, sister to the former proprietor of the fine domain of Fontaine l'Eveque, an illustrious family,. which descended from Beaudion Count of Flanders and a Countess Maximilienne, of Bur gundy, and had .contracted alliances with the families of Merode Croy, Grave Lanney, Vanduburgh, Dandelot, &c. In consequence of the fatal union of the sole heiress of the name of Rodoan with a ruined French Nobleman, the estate, which had been for eleven hundred years in the noble House of Rodoan, has lately been transferred by purchase to M. Lefebvre Mearet, Belgian senator. The decline in Spanish Stock continued yesterday in a still more marked. manner. There were very few fluctuations in other descrip tions of Stock.

B.—The Presburg Gazette has a letter from Oedenburg of the 4th October, which states that on the 2d, in the forenoon, a dreadful fire had broken out, and the wind being very high, sixteen houses were burnt in a very short time. The Cassino, a very fine building, though situated on the opposite side of a large square, soon caught fire, and was totally destroyed. Several persons were killed by the falling of the ceiling of the ball-room, while they were endeavouring to save the valuable furniture. Three old gentlemen, one a canon, another a magistrate, died in consequence of the fright.—Austrian Observer, Aug. 9. VIENNA, OCT. 10.—Their Majesties the Emperor and Empress arrived this • morninc , in excellent health from Brunn. They alighted at the mperial Palace and not at Schonbrunn as was at first intended. The news that the Spanish Procuradores have rejected Guebhard's loan has caused a great sensation on our 'Change because of the news received the day before, that the Procuradores had recognised all the loans without exception, many persons were induced to make purchases which are followed by great losses.

BONAPARTE AT SCHOOL.—In a series of no tices relative to the family of Bonaparte, contained in the last number of the Revue Retrospective, we find the following note given by M. de Renalio, the .Inspector of Military Schools, in 1784, on his pupil Bonaparte. "M. de Bona parte (Napoleon), born the 15th of August, 1769, height four feet ten inches, ten times has passed his fourth class ; of good constitution, excellent health, character quiet, honest and do cile, conduct very regular ; has been always distinguished for his application to the mathematics. He is very fairly ac quainted with history and geography. He is not far advanced in higher literature, or Latin, in which he has only attained the fourth class. He would make an excellent . gaoler. He deserves to be sent to the military school at Paris."—French Paper. A MAGIC WELL. At the summit of the Touch Stone, a little to the west of Stirling, and not far from the beautiful cascade at Gilmer's Linn, there is to be seen a pellucid little well, which, in days of yore, was said to possess the remarkable quality of ensuring for a twelvemonth the lives of all who drank from its waters before sunrise on the first Sabbath of May. This healing fountain is called St. Corbet's Well. It is now only about a foot deep, and three or four feet in circumference ; but the boggy nature of the surrounding ground shows that in ancient times the Hygeian Saint had possessed a more ample chalice for the refreshment of his pil grim votaries. It is not very many years since the superstitious belief in the virtues of this well were abandoned. Some douce dames and hale caries are yet alive in the parish of St. Ringan's, who, in their younger days, made annual pilgrim acres to St. Corbet's Well on the auspicious mornings alluded to ; and they report that splendid were the gatherings on these anniversaries. Husbands with their wives, lovers with their sweethearts, young and old, grave and gay, were wont to cover the hill tops in the vicinity of the well, long before " Aurora bright proclaimed the dawn," and each party, as they arrived, 'freely partook of the health-inspiring font. It is even said, that when the nation began to degenerate, " mountain dew" of a less sacred character was some times doled out amongst the devotees of St. Corbet ; and that his saintship had rather not have witnessed, especially on a Sabbath morning, 30M9 of the frivoli ties practised among the Touch Hills on these occa sions. Some misunderstanding of this kind between the saint and his votaries is believed to have induced him to withdraw the virtues from the well.—Scotsman. THE PROJECTED RAILWAY FROM PAISLEY TO RENFREW. We have learned with much pleasure that there is every probability that the project for building a quay at Renfrew Ferry, and forming a rail-road from thence to Paisley, will be speedily carried into execution. We have seldom heard of a more useful undertaking, or one that would be more certain of being crowned with complete success. Steam carriages would run upon the railway from Paisley to Renfrew in ten minutes, and the effect of this speedy communication between these two places would be to convert Renfrew at once into the port of Paisley, and enable the latter town at last to boast of its shipping, which, in spite of all that has been lately said of deepening the river Cart, we much fear it will never be very able to do while its vessels have to ascend the Cart to the far-famed Sneddon. To the Pais ley folks wishing to visit the coast, this railway would be a great convenience, as instead of being towed at a snail's pace down the Cart in a small boat to reach the Clyde steamers, they would be whirled down in a few minutes to Renfrew Ferry, where they would step safely on board the steam-boat from a quay, instead of risking their lives by approaching the vessel in a small open boat, as is done at present. For the con veyance of goods to and from Paisley, the railway would likewise be found invaluable. A letter from Mr. Craig, of Hawkhead Mills, near Paisley, to the Glasgow Chronicle, sets this in a strong point of view. We think that not only the inhabitants of Paisley and Renfrew, but our county gentlemen who feel inte rested in the prosperity of these places, ought to do whatever is in their power to encourage so laudable an undertaking as the intended railway.---Greenock Intel ligencer. THE PIG. When we regard the numbers of mankind fed upon the flesh of this animal, it must be seen that he oc cupies an important place in the domestic economy of countries. His flesh is perfectly nutritive, and, from its ready reception of salt, it is better fitted for preser vation than that. of any other animal. It is thus eminently adapted for sea voyages, for which purpose it is largely used. It forms a great part of the animal food of the labouring classes of Europe. The pig is truly the poor man's stock, since it may be raised by the cottager, as well as by the breeder on the larger scale. There is TIO animal which, in pro portion to the food consumed, yields so great a quantity of muscle and fat. His flesh, indeed, may not be so profitable as that of the sheep and the ox, but this arises from the facility of production, and the consequent tendency of the market to be over stocked. To the settler in a new country, the pig is the most valuable of all the larger domestic animals used for food. He is beyond every other quickly mul tiplied, reared, and brought to the required maturity. The clearers of land in the American forests could hardly subsist during the first year of labour and dan ger, without this creature. And in our own country, it is a greater error for a farmer, however extended his concerns may be, to disregard this branch of farm stock ; it is to him a source of household economy and comfort. He can raise the most delicate pork for use at all times, and with the greatest facility, and will al ways derive a sufficient profit by the sale of the re mainder to repay him for his feeding, and induce him to give attention to this branch of economy.—Profes sor Low's Elements of Practical Agriculture. THE FAVOURITE OF THE HAREM. The apartments of the seraglio are very splendid, always, however, of course in proportion to the wealth of the prince ; and the favourite object of his affections exhibits the dignity, and enjoys the privileges of .a queen, though of a queen in captivity. 'While her beauty lasts, she is freqnently regarded with a feeling almest amounting to idolatry : but when that beauty passes away, the warmth of love subsides, her person no longer charms, her voice ceases to inspire delight, her faded cheeks and sharpened tones become. disa greeable memorials of the past. Neither' her song nor her lute are now heard with pleasure : for, in the beautiful imagery of the Persian poet, " when the roses wither, and the bower loses its sweetness, you have no longer the tale of the nightingale." The favourite, however, while she continues her ascendancy over the heart of her lord, is treated with sovereign re spect throughout the harem. She smokes her golded tubed hooka, the mouth-piece studded with gems, and enjoys the fresh morning breeze under a verandah that overlooks the garden of the the palace, attended by her damsels, only second to herself in attractions of person and splendid attire. Here she reclines in oblivious repose, upon a rich embroidered carpet, from the most celebrated looms of Persia. Through an atmosphere of the richest incense, she breathes the choicest per fumes of Arabia the Happy, and has every thing around her that can administer to sensual delight : still she is generally an unhappy being. She dwells in the midst of splendid misery and ungratifyinc , pro fusion, while all within herself is desolate anehope lessness. Her sympathies are either warped or stifled ; her heart is blighted, and her mind degraded. She cannot join in the enthusiasm of the inimitable Hafiz. The breath of the western gale will soon shed musk around, the old world will again be young ;" but lan guishes as the seasons return in the most debasing captivity, and feels that the western gale breathes not upon her either the freshness of freedom or of joy.— Oriental Annual. SEIZURE FOR CHURCH RATES.--(Froin a Cor resporident.)—Yesterday afternoon a warrant of distress for arrears of church-rates was issued against the goods of Mr. Richard Carlile, the bookseller in Fleet-street, and placed in the hands of a broker, who, accompanied by some of the city police, went for the purpose of making a seizure. Pla cards had been for some time past placed in the shop-window, declaring Carlile's determination not to pay any more church rates ; but, when the broker came, he was allowed to seize a sufficient number of almanacs to satisfy the amount of his de mand, and to bring them away with him, without any obstruc tion being offered on the part of Carlile; but, soon after the officers had left the premises, Carlile took out the sashes of the windows on the first floor, and placed in one of them a stuffed figure of a bishop in full robes, with the words " Spi ritual Broker," and in the other windows a figure representing the person by whom the seizure was made, with the words " Temporal Broker," and between the windows a large pla card, " Seized for c hurch-rates." This exhibition caused a crowd of persons to collect together, and in a short time the pavement of Fleet-street was rendered completely impassable. The Lord Mayor arrived on the spot soon after 4 o'clock, and a party of policemen were immediately directed to disperse the crowd. The Lord Mayor desired that Carlile would remove the figures from the windows, which he at first refused to do ; but, on being told that the police would be ordered to remove them if he did not, lie took them away from the window ; the mob then dispersed. Shortly afterwards Carlile again exhi bited the figures at the further end of his shop, but there they attracted very little notice.—Morning Paper.
