The premiums are payable yearly, hal f.yearlv, or quarterly, on the sth of January, sth of April. sth of July, and sth of October, either of which several days constitutes the commencement of the year to Members. Persons, therefore, desirous of entering the Society, as Members, on the sth of Uc'ober next, should appear, or lodge their proposals at the Office, on or before that day. So various are the plans now befoce the public for effecting As.. surance on Lite, that it may seem difficult to make choice between them. As, however, all prudent offices make a considerably higher charge in the annual premium than experience has hitherto shown to be necessary, but differ in the mode of disposing of the surplus or profit, the following classification may be made : tst. Proprietary. Offices, whe a all the surplus from premiums and other profits is divided, exclusively, amongst the Share or Stock holders. Ed. Offices where the same is divided in various proportions be tween Share and Stockholders and the- Assured. 3d. Offices of -a strictly mutual character, where the whol of the profit is equitably distributed amongst the Assured only. The METROPOLITAN, which is of the last class, was established in 1835, and although no paid agents for town or country have at any time lven employed, nor any expensive system of advertising re sorted to, yet its advantages have been so well appreciated by the public, that the annual premiums already exceed £49,000. In consequence of the prosperous state of the Society's affairs, the Annual Premiums of Members of Five Years' standing have been reduced FO itTY.TWO AND A HALF per Cent. A 0...

WILLIAM LYNN respectfully calls the attention of the nobility, gentry, lotel-keepers, and others, to this beautifld and cheap article of importation. It is in soli] blocks, weighing from one to two hun dred poknds each, and is as clear as crystal; It can be sent to any distance, with very trifling waste ; and is used for a ♦ariety of pur poses that English Ice cannot be applied to. • W. h. has imported some PROVISION SAFES from America, for the use and comfort of Private Families — The REFRIGERATOR, or (as sometimes designated) a Miniature Ice-house. This is a sew and useful article of furniture, rapidly coming into use in northera and southern climes; it is designed to keep cool and sweet such dishes in the culinary department as are necessary to be protected from the heat of the weather during tke summer season. The Refrigerator is now considered an indispensible article in the economy of eery good housewife ; the quantity of food it protects from the weather will more than pay the cost of the article in one year. _ They may be seen in operation, in their various valuable and useful purposes, at the Waterloo Hotel, and families can be supplied with them on moderate terms.

FROM TUE EVENING PAPERS OF SATURDAY. GLOBE.—The Standard, of last night, devotes yet another column to the bootless task of attacking the decision of the majority of the law Lords, by which the judgment against O'Connell was reversed, and to impugning the motives of the three Noble and Learned Lords who constituted the majority. If the slightest advantage, even of a party descrip tion, could be gained by thus pertinaciously assailing the decision—if the result, instead of being final and irreversible, were open to review and recal, • whatever we might think of the reasonings" of our Contemporary, we should, at least, have a clue to the object sought to be attained. But, seeing that things are as they are—the judgment re versed—the order for O'Connell's discharge from prison issued and acted upon—the prison -doors thrown open—and the great agitator at large, and again at the head of the movement, which he animates and guides—what imaginable object does the Standard, and those who prompt its attacks, propose to them selves by keeping up an incessant wailing against the " three Whig law Lords " and their votes ? The disappointment and chagrin which the failure of the prosecution has inflicted on the Government, and on the Ultras who counselled the ill-advised proceed ings, would excuse, for a time, the impotent rage of a party whose favourite scheme was frustrated at the very moment they were anticipating triumph from success. But to continue the howl of misery, " from eve to morn, from morn to dewy eve," is rather too bad. We admit the violence of the blow—we concede that the effects are stunning—that the mischiefs it produces to the policy and hopes of the party are great, and are likely to be ruinous. But "it is not in mortals to command success." The Government and its employes did what they could to secure it. No one can say that they allowed the trifling consi derations o*stice, or even the semblance of justice, to operate against the attainment of their preconcerted designs. They made a bold push for a complete triumph over a political opponent. If O'Connell be not, now a prisoner; if he be not now under the lock and key of the gaoler, and held under the yet more effectual and tremendously heavy recognizances to keep—what the law designates, but does not define— the peace; recognizances which he might be unable to find, and thus his imprisonment be continued for years—if these desirable results be not secured—this consummation, so devoutly to be wished" by every Tory heart, be not realised; the blame is neither with the' Government, nor with those to whom it commit ted the conduct of the proceedings. The indictment was of enormous length; a very monster—the jury was discreetly selected; all " good men and true"—the wit nesses were well trained—the Attorney-General did all that an unscrupulous advocate could do to " make the worse appear the better reason"—the Chief Justice charged the jury to the very top of the bent even of those most anxious for a conviction—the motion for a new trial was refused—the motion in arrest of judg ment shared a similar fate. Everything was done just as it ought to be. The protracted proceedings at length terminated. The sentence was deter mined on. " The law allows it; and the Court awards it." The impatient Tories, who had panted for the fulfilment of their predictions as to the amount of punishment on the " convicted conspirators," and who had complained bitterly of the delay in the proceedings—were at length satisfied. The Court had, upon the whole, done its duty. The rock of Carrickfergus was not, it was true, selected by the judges as the place of O'Connell's confinement—the term of im prisonment was not certainly quite so long as their notions of justice inclined them to desire and to name —nor was the fine quite so heavy as they conceived ought to have been inflicted; But there was still much to be thankful for. They would, at least, have the -positive delight derived from knowing and feeling that O'Connell was safe in custody for one year; and might be kept so for much longer—for who would venture to become bail for his good be haviour ? Repeal was, of course, crushed by the sen tence passed on its leader. There might be a struggle C‘.:r life ; but it would be the convulsive throes which precede disbviutlcAl. A coercive policy having been commented, who would underte.. to cry that it would not be continued ? The Catholic populatioii would be kept under the iron heel of despotic rule— their wretched cqndition unmitigated; and their complaints and remonstrances disregarded. If they abstained from venting their griefs in the language extorted by calamity, their silence would be con strued into the indulgence of the gloomy revo lutions of implacable revenge, which watches for a favourable opportunity to gratify its propensities ; and must, therefore, be intimidated by the pre sence of military force, If dissatisfaction with their condition were shown by overt acts, and they prOclaimed their injuries to the world— they would then be seditious—insurgents—rebels— traitors ; against whom the military ought to be em ployed, and the sword should be commissioned to de vour. A, new crisis has arrived. The unexpected release or O'Connell, by the reversal of the judgment against him, has placed the Government in a new position toward him and the Irish nation. We wish that there existed grounds to hope that Ministers were prepared to act in this new position with discretion, if not with magnanimity, We had almost said, we wish that the example set them by O'Connell were likely to be imitated by them. We are not disposed to scan with severity the expressions, strongly vitu perative against persons, as they doubtless were, with which O'Connell's speech to the popu lace on the day of kis liberation from prison, and his address on Monday at the Conciliation Hall, were disfigured. Something must be conceded to the class of persons he addressed. on both occasions ; and also to the necessity, which he doubtless feels, of feeding the excitement with suitable aliment, by which he, and the agitation, are sustained. Still a tone of moderation pervades his speeches. So far as the future operations of the Repeal Association are alluded to, there is a marked abstinence from all im plied, much more expressed, counsel to any extreme and dangerous measures. If we understand the course indicated by the address Mr. O'Con nell - delivered on Monday, there is a disposi tion to check, rather than to excite, the ardour of his followers ; to wait' for, and watch the policy of the Government; not to anticipate and embarrass it; to give Ministers no advantage by his indiscretion; but to avail himself of any false movement which their policy may afford to him over them. The formidable elevation to which the .defeated prosecution has raised him—the increased confidence in his legel invulnera bility which is felt by his followers—the immensely increased influence which he now wields over their affections, enable him to move the masses at his will. Will the Government seize the critical moment ? By a mixture of prudential caution for the preservation of the peace, which a momentary influence an the part of the multitude may peril, combined with abroad and well-de fined system of conciliation of the popular feeling, and amelioration of the present oppressed and wretched condition of the peasantry, they may avert a national calamity. If they are unable or unwilling to adopt the only policy which can preserve Ireland from com motion, if not from the dissolution of its connexion with this country, let them at least have the virtue to resign their posts, and leave to other hands the work of counteracting the evils, and diminishing the dangers,. which they have increased and exaspe rated by the means they employed to diminish and subdue them. STANDARD.—Two of our pseudo - Conservative Conteniporaries, one following in the wake of the other, like the parasitical fish that derives its sub sistence',from piCking the teeth of the shark and is to lerated for the sake of the humble service it perform, appear to be greatly disappointed that the Conserva tive candidate for North Lancashire, Mr. Talbot • Clifton, is likely to walk over the course ; and have accordingly done their best to encou rage the drooping spirits of the League to take the field against him. Both are agreed in opinion, that Mr. Clifton has not been sufficiently explicit in his addrest tO the constituency he Etspiits to repre , sent. lie protases, to be sure, "as a paiainount duty," to devote his best exertions " to tho mainte.. woo cif our lostituticins lit Clitrtii and state ; 44 to PitbaVnUt ittO secure for the agriculturist that foil ptoteCtiiiii for his eapitah his indltstir, etnd his enter prise, to.' which the burdens he has to sustain entitle him ;" to consult, " as a matter of the first import ance, the welfare of the poor;' to give his "general support to Conservative GoVertimenti" as the best means t3r a securing a condmitanct of those ines timable blessings, *hith our institutions in Church and. State have eonfOrrO t!Vott. the DALAI ;" go!' to I attend to the varied (commercial) "interests of his constituency." All this would seem to be explicit enough for any ordinary Conservative, and is, we sus pect, a little too explicit for Arr. Clifton's metropolitan critics. - At all events, it affords a pretty tolerable indication that his mind is made up on those leading _questions .which -appear to be the objects of so much doubt and uncertainty to his assailants. He does not profess to be a Conservative of the family of " Young England," or after the manner of the Times ; one who will give a feeble and hollow support to the Minister on points on which his adhesion is comparatively unimportant, and then watch with feline vigilance for an opportunity of turning round upon him at some more cri tical moment of his career. With a profession of Christian sympathy for the poor, he does not pro pose to make a simulated devotion to their interests an excuse for incessant attacks on the Government, and incendiary attempts to work upon their miseries until he has stimulated them to acts of sedition and outrage. He does not profess to make an affected sympathy with suffering a lever for attacks - on the Mi nisters. With this class of Conservatives he claims no manner of alliance. Hinc ilia lachryma ! Hence it is that he has failed to make himself understood to that peculiar order to which it is the glory of our carping and dissatisfied Contemporaries to belong. It is the Queen's Government, and not the ideal Go vernment of the Morning ,Post and Times, to which Mr. Clifton promises his general sip port. He seems to be a sensible _man, content with the language of common sense, and avoiding alike the mock heroical phraseology of the gascon and the empty but noisy verbiage of the Young Englander. Sir Robert Peel is the last man in the world to desire to impose degrading conditions on his supporters, or to require them to " wear his livery." The apprehensions of the Ilfornin, ,, Post, which discovers that Mr. Clifton is not sufficiently intelligible in his exposition of his Conservative principles, will, we are satisfied, prove fallacious ; far if report does not greatly belie him, .he will be found in every respect. worthy the support and esteem of the large and important constituency to which his political manifesto is addressed, and one whose practice will more than keep pace with his professions. We are glad to see that, notwithstanding this combined attempt to throw a wet blanket on his exertions, and the invitation to the League to o ppo se ' him, Mr. Clifton is likely to have no rival. The election is fixed for the 20th instanst, and the League ' is too low in credit and in pocket to enter upon an- ' other contest, even in Lancashire, and all their efforts to obtain a scapegoat to undertake the burden have miserably failed. After two unsuccessful attempts to obtain a rival candidate, therefore, they have been compelled to adopt the resolution that " it is not de sirable in the present state of the register to bring forward a free-trade candidate." ELECTION OF CHAMBERLAIN. DECLARATION OF THE POLL. Saturday being the day for declaring the result of the poll for the office of Chamberlain, there was a tole rably numerous attendance at Guildhall to witness the proceedings. At twelve o'clock precisely Mr. Sheriff Musgrove announced that Alderman Brown having polled the greater number of votes, that gentle:nan was duly elected to the office. Immediately after this, the Lord Mayor, Alder men, and other City authorities came upon the hust jaip un n n gs g ' sd A te s l di i ' e r ui . e w ninn A ted h hreh e l gar d n i nee emerged from e m fodrn a olst n mtihd ß e heamraanadofbeilvi considerable been nx w edc h aaict eyoo days' contest confidence et ent er v e i sea d to d e ft d n f hortserl addressed an surprise he a rda b i ods o ffie utr the livery in a bri e f but neat speech. He said they had e to which they had done him the honour t o e l ec t hi m , o many that he had put up for this office, but he should state as a reason, and which he should not be ashamed of avowing, that he was not what would be termed in this commercial city a man of wealth ; therefore the situation to which he had been chosen would come very acceptably to him at his period of life ; and he trusted that he should give satisfaction in the per formance of its duties. The worthy Alderman again thanked the livery for their support, and concluded amid loud cheers. Mr. SHOOBRIDGE had to thank the livery on behalf of Mr. Alderman Brown, but entering subsequently into matters connected with the foundation of the City Almshouses, which were considered irrelevant to the present proceedings, he was received with disap probation. The meeting was then dissolved. The whole affair only occupied twenty minutes, anti there was a manifest disappointment in the hall at .the brevity of the proceedings, some lengthened speech-making having been expected upon the oc casion. It is a matter worthy of remark, as one of rare oc currence under similar circumstances, that all the ex penses of Alderman Brown contingent upon the elcc • tion were discharged by him previously to the poll being declared. WONDERFUL PRESERVATION. A young woman, named Mary Webster. who re sides with her widowed mother, near Mr. Simmons's paper works, in the Via Gellia, at Bonsall, has re cently had the narrowest escape from a miserable death that we ever remember to have heard of under anything like similar circumstances. The young woman, who is 22 years of age, stout, and rather good looking, is unfortunately of somewhat weak intellect. It appears that shortly previous to Tuesday week she was walking with her mother on a foot-road leading from Bonsall to Ible, when, at a place called Bonsall Lees, a common cotton handkerchief which she wore was blown off by the wind, it being rather rough at the time, and before it could be recovered it went doWn the shaft of a deserted lead mine which had been carelessly left unsecured. The loss of the hand kerchief seems to have affected her in an extraordi nary degree, and on the night o f T ues d a y we ek, about ten o'clock, she left her home, and, although diligent inquiries were made alter her, nothing what ever was ascertained respecting her until the follow ing Monday morning. On that morning her mother, who was then seeking her, inquired of a miner, named John Massey, who was working on Bonsall. Lees,. if he knew anything of her daughter, and received for answer that he did not. The dis tracted mother went forward on her now almost hopeless search, and being in the neighbourhood of the shaft into which the handkerchief had blown, she went to it, and shouted down, when, strange to say, her ears were greeted with the voice of her lost daughter, who, at the expiration of a week's entombment without sustenance of any kind, ap peared to recognise the voice of her parent. The overjoyed mother now hastened back to Massey (the miner to whom she had last spoken) and he lost no time in obtaining the assistance of some brother miners, who speedily collected the necessary tackling for rescuing the miserable sufferer from her living grave, and everything being adjusted to secure as far as possible the safety of the object of their humane exertions, Massey and another miner, named William Bunting, the shaft, which is twenty yards deep, and perpendicular, and found her in a crouch ing position at the shaft foot, sensible, but nearly bereft of physical strength, and to use Massey s words, "as cold as a corpse." She had (no doubt in moments of delirium) unclothed herself to the waist downwards, and taken off her shoes and one stocking, and she had actually recovered the lost hand kerchief, which was lying by her and in which was tied up one of her shoes. Having been safely attached to the rope, she was drawn to the surface, and during her ascent she attempted to hold on, but was, of course, too far exhausted-to do so effectually. Per haps the strangest circumstance connected with this strange tale is, that in a few minutes after arrivi n g at the surface, elle told her mother that before she at tempted to descend the shaft in search of • the hand kerchief, ehe had taken off her gown, and hidden it in a wall. The gown was found exactly as described by her. She was now carefully remove d home, and titt putting her to bed it was found that she bad re ceived no eiterh Wal e rt . beyond comparatively weak restoratives slight lacerations and brutseg. r were sparingly administered, and under the care of Mr: tt ans i s urgeon, of WTinster, there is every likeli hood of her restoration to perfect health. She states that she believed the shaft was only two or three yards deep, as she looked into it on the clay she lost her brinditurchlef, and thought she sawttom. the had descended apparently four or five feet, when a pt l r which bore her weight, proving rotten, broke, atid , she was precipitated, as already described, nearly twenty yards to the bottom, her fall being, no doubt, in som' degree broken by the resistance of the air against her clothes. She complains of having suf fered horribly from thirst, and had eaten part of her under garments, but does not seem to possess any knowledge of her own - as to the length of time her living entombment had endured.—Nottingliaet Journal.

N.Y(' regret to hear of the death of Mr. Frederick . . ligden, eldest son of the Lord Chancellor for Ireland, the Right Hon. Sir Edward Sngden. The melancholy event took place on Wedneiday, at Boyle-f.arrn, Sir L Edward f3ugden's seat, at Thames Dittou, REGISTRATION and REGULALION OF JOINT- STOCK. COMPANIES. A very important Act received the royal assent on Thursday, the sth instant, entitled " An Act for the Registration, Incorporation, and Regulation of Joint- Stock Companies," the object of which is to bring under the eye of Government all joint-stock companies, and to prevent the establishment of fraudulent concerns with high-sounding names and pretended patronage, whereby persons with the pro mise of a high rate of interest have been deprived of their money and reduced to great distress. There are 80 sections in the Act, with several schedules annexed. It has immediate operation from the sth instant, with respect to the officers to be appointed for the registration of companies, and the regulation of the office provided for that purpose, and all other pro visions as to the companies to which they have appli cation, on the Ist of November next. The preamble of the Act, on consideration of which the sections have been framed, declares it to be expedient to make provision for the due registration of joint-stock companies during the formation and subsistence there3f, and also, after such complete registration, to invest such companies with the qualities and incidents of corporations, with some modifications, and subject to certain conditions and regulations, and also to pre vent the establishment of any companies which shall not be duly constituted and regulated according to the provisions of this Act. It is provided, that be fore any advertisement or other proceeding appears of an intended joint-stock company (which term has a very large signification), a provisional registration shall take place at the "Registry-office," giving-eer tain particulars, in order to guard against mere ad venturers obtaining money from the public, and in the event of non-registration as described, the pro- : moter to be liable to be fined 201. A complete regis tration is to take place before a company can act other than provisionally, and full information afforded re specting the deed of the company, &c. Patrons and, directors must in future hold shares in the company, - under a penalty of 201., and the inspection of books is given to shareholders under certain by-laws, in order that the affairs of companies may be ascertained, and• . any director or officer who shall wrongfully "do or omit any act," with intent to defraud the company or any shareholder therein, or falsify or fraudulently mutilate, or fraudulently make any erasure in the books of account or books of registry, or any docu ment belonging to the company, then such director or other officer shall be deemed to be guilty of a "misdemeanour. The followinc , provision has been framed to - prevent the fraudulent companies : Section 65, " And forasmuch as great injury has been inflicted upon the -.public by companies falsely pretending to be patronised or directed or managed by eminent or opulent persons; now, for the purpose of preventing such false pretences, be it enacted, with regard to every company or pretended company whatsoever, whether registered or not, and whether now existing or not, that if any person shall make any such false pretences, knowing the same to be false, in any advertisement or other paper, whether printed or written, and whether published in any newspaper, or hand-bill, or placard, or circular, then every such person shall forfeit for every such offence a sum not exceeding 101." By another provision it is enacted, that if a judgment in law or decree, &c., cannot be enforced against the person, pro?erty, and effects of a shareholder, who shall have his remedy . against the company. Various penalties are pre scribed; and by another provision the registrar of joint .stock companies is to make an annual report to the Privy Council of Trade, setting forth the par ticulars mentioned in the 79th section of the present Act, which report is to be laid before Parliament. FIELD SPORTS OF THE NORTH—We hope Prince Albert, who is again to vkit the land of brown heath, will step a little further north, among our hills and mountains, to try his rifle at the hardy deer which in habit our glens and corries. Scenes famous in story are numerous as the antlered herds of Inverness, Ross, and Sutherland shires, and should the Prince fancy some target practice, our northern meeting will show him some correct shooting, together with sundry athletics games, unknown in Windsor. On Friday last, Lord Lovat, accompanied by Lord Emlyn and Sir Pyers Mostyn, enjoyed a brilliant day' s deer stalking in his Lordship's preserves of Glenstrathfarar Forest. With right and left shots, Lord Lovat brought down a couple of deer, and with three other rifle discharges, a noble stag fell to each. Sir P. Mostyn also secured a very large well-headed stag. The party at Achnanault have had great success is deer stalking. During the last week, Mr. Chearnley killed two, of which one was the largest stag seen in Ross-shire for many year, a veteran, well known to the sportsmen of that county. Another of the party succeeded, on Thursday last, in stalking and securing two very good stags, with right and left shots. Their sport has, in other respects, been rather remark able. On Wednesday evening Mr. Chearnley killed in the river, with the rod, within one hour, four trout whose joint weight exceeded twenty-five pounds. On theGlenmoriston Hills, Edward Burn, Esq., of Aberdeen, and friend, got each a shot at deer, both of which they ki1 , 21 Mr. Burn's shot 'being the only one ne had at deer this season. At Achnaclarioch, Sir St. George Gore, Bart., had five successive days of superior grouse shooting in the last week of August, having bagged 376 brace and four couple of hares, which gives an average of 76 brace a-day of birds very strcng and wild. On the moors of Dunmaglass, Mr. Stephens and Mr. M`Natighton, in ten days shooting, had 400 brace of grouse. At Muirton, A. Mackenzie, Esq., and friend, killed, in one day lately, five roe-deer and several pairs of black game.—lnverness Courier. The Prince of Surat and suite visited the Royal Adelaide Gallery on Friday evening ; they were re- ceived by Dr. Jones, who conducted them round the Gallery, and explained to them many of the works of art and natural curiosities. They were highly delighted with the performances and curious mechanism of the Automaton Writer, which they minutely inspected. The Prince took a shock from the electrical eels, and ex pressed himself gratified by the sensation. The Prince and suite took their leave after witnessing the perform ance of the far-famed band of the Gallery, with which they were delighted. A MAN OF WEIGHT IN THE COUNTY.—Hitherto Mr. Bright, of Maldon, has stood without a rival in the annals of Essex In the way of fat and rotundity, but now one has sprung up in the goodly person of Mr. Mansfield, of I)ebden, who threatens to very nearly approach his throne. Mr. H. Moss, of Thaxted, has just completed a coat for him, of course of broad cloth, nearly one hun dred inches round, and in which six men were comfort ably buttoned up at once, and they not tailors either. Mr. M., we are told, is about to be exhibited in London, as a set off to General Tom Thumb, who could certainly find comfortable rest and shelter in one of his coat pockets. He weighed on Tuesday last exactly 335 t., 141 b. to the stone.—Chelmsford Chroniek.

THE SWELL Mon IN DUBLIN.—Four individuals belonging to this extensive gang in to t arrived Dublin oo :, Thursday night. Their persons are known detective force, and the manner by which they becam e SO is rather singular—it is as follows :—A traveller be longing to Todd and Burns' establishment, having occa sion to leave London, took his seat in one of the rail way carriages for Liverpool. On entering the cordage he found himself in company with five other individuals, who were strangers to him, and who appeared mutu ally so to each other. One of them was a female of a Lady-like appearance, and the other four were appa rently gentlemen, and looked as if accustomed to move in the first classes of society. The elder of them ap peared not to know any language save French, and the others seemed to be amused at his awkward attempts to speak English. After some time Mr. Wilson's (the name of the traveller) attention was attracted to a species of dumb language which appeared to be passing between utter strangers, and, feigning to sleep, he heard the person who appeared not to know English, conversing very fluently in it, and us i n g several slang terms. Mr. Wilson immediately became alarmed, and the train stopping ataplat the place of re f res hment, Wolverton, he withdrew to a . private above o a v c e e to change his money f rem one p ocket to ano ther , as he h a d observed his companions frequently point a pocket which contained i t. lie had not entere d a minute when one of the party followed him and watched Juli movements. They returned to the carriage; and Mr. Wilson, again feigning to doze, observed the individual who had previously follow ed him point out to his companions the pocket to which he had trans ferred his money, Becoming more alarmed, he deter mined not to sleep, and remaine d - awake until he ar rived at Liverpool. l' i l t ie that she had to w ait for a the lady remained, pretend ingservant of hers whom she expected to arrive by the exbteliraiin. that the from manhcral n r , disguise niann e r , ; and b u t accent,believes was,at t s t la w dy as wasa whoever n evi dently a confederate of the other individuals. Mr. Wil son parted with their company in Liverpool, but on coming over in the packet, he recognised them there again. Their persons are well known to the police, and consequently their chances of swindling the public are very limited indeed.—Dublin Monitor.

GILLESPIE. --- It is with feelings of the sincerest regret that we announce the sudden death of Thomas Gillespie, LL.D., Professor of Humanity in the University of St. Andrew's—an individual well-known to the lite rary world for his many beautiful contributions to the poetry of his country, and known also to the classical world .as an author and a teacher. Dr. Gillespie had been a few weeks in the country, at the house of Mr. David Tennant, schoolmaster of Dunino, enjoying the pleasing pastime of an angler, to which he was a great votary. In the afternoon of the 10th inst., when in apparent health at Dunino, he was suddenly taken ill, and though the assistance of Drs. Reid and - Adamson was speedily had from St. Andrew's at seven o'clock, all was in vain, and he breathed his last at two in the morning. His loss will be felt as :a severe blow by his colleagues, and also by a very wide literary and social circle. The Doctor had the rudiments of his education in the celebrated seminary of Wallacehall, in his own native parish of Closeburn, Dumfriesshire ; and, after pass ing the curriculum of i the Dumfries Academy, long and justly noted among our Scottish seminaries, he enrolled himself as a student in the University of PAinburvh. with a view to the Church ; and, after making his way through the divinity hall with marked approbation, he obtained license as a preacher. A fevv years after, upon the presentation of the United Col lege, St. Andrew's, he was inducted a s m i n i ster o f Cults, in the Presbytery of Cupar, where, after the manner of the Spanish adventurer, he had the words of the Roman poet carved over the portal— " Invent portum, spesetfortuna valete. Sat me ludistis, indite nunc His immediate predecessor in the ministry at Cults was the Rev. Mr. Wilkie, father of the late lamented Sir David Wilkie; and we have heard Dr. Gillespie condemn his own want of taste in. having, upon his entering to the manse, unconsciously, in the cleansing process, washed away many rude drawings from the walls of the nursery, the work of the infant painter. Like a kindred spirit the Doctor had a great admi ration of the genius of Wilkie ; and in the course of his pilgrimage in Cults, he collected many interesting anecdotes of Sir D. Wilkie's juvenile efforts and encou ragements, and which were communicated by him to Allan Cunningham, and hold a place in bis last Work— " The Life of Sir avid Wilkie.' Dr. Gillespie having been appointed assistant and successor to his-father in-law—that diStinguished classical scholar, the late Dr. John Hunter, Professor of Humanity in St. Andrew's—he, in the year 1828, vacated the Eying of Cults, and settled in .that ancient ,seat of learning— the city of St. Andrew's. His 'attention to the ad vancement of the pupils placed under his charge was unceasing; and his devotion to the interests of the University (in which he also held the office of clerk), and of the city, and of everything in that historical locality, could not be surpassed. He lent a helping hand to the Martyrs Monument, very recently erected at St. Andrew's. Very few men had greater versatility of imagination or power of satire • and few indeed cou ld • commit their overflowing thoughts more easily to paper, ready for the eye of the printer and the critic. Not long ago, we heard Dr. Gillespie himself. state, and state with some re gret, that many things from his pen were scattered, if not lost, without preserved duplicate's. There is, however, a vast amount of his writings, both in poetry and prose, extant in the magazines of the day, as well as in the newspaper press of Scotland, particularly in that of Fife and Dumfries. We have beside us, for next publication, a poetical communication from Dr. Gillespie so recent in its date as Monday last. To the Dumfries Courier he was atone time an occasional con tributor ; and his "Farewell to CannyCloseburn"—the record of his last visit to his birth-place as it has hap pened, will long hold a place in the remembrance of his friends and admirers on the delightful banks of the Nith. Earnest!y, indeed, do we hope that some bio grapher will be found to favour the public with the life and a selection from the works of the individual whose death we now in sorrow record. Dr. Gil lespie was twice married, his foriner wife being a daughter of Dr. Hunter, already mentioned ; and his second, who survives to lament his loss, a daughter of the late Rev. Dr. George Campbell, Cupar-Fife , and sister of the Right Hon. L or d Campbell. —Fife - shire Journal, DEATH FROM THE PUNCTURE or. A NEEDLE.— Yesterday Mr. Baker, Deputy-Coroner, hold an inquest at the London Hospital on the body of rdward Platt, aged 49, a weaver. It appeared by the evidence that deceased resided at Nch 81, Pitt -street, Bethnal-green road. He was in remarkably good health. On Friday week last deceased observed a small gathering or fester to rise near the nail of the great toe on his nght foot ; it being very painful he pricked it with -a - small needle, which drew blood, Ho paid no attention to it at the time, but in the course of the same evening he was seized with a violent pain in his throat and chest, which increased to such an alarming extent that on the follow ing Sunday he was obliged to apply for medical advice. The medical gentleman on observing his symptoms pre scribed for him, and recommended his immediate re moval to the hospital, but deceased refused to go until the Tuesday following. Mr. Self, house-pupil, deposed that deceased, when admitted, was labouring under lock. jaw. He was dying when brought in. Opium and other usual remedies were administered, but he expired within one hour afterwards. Witness was of opinion that de ceased had died from tetatms, or lock-jaw, brought on by the puncture of his toe. Verdict in accordance with the surgeon's testimony. ETES AND EYELASHES.—Sad complaints have been forwarded to our office , of the conduct of waggettirs, draymen, and others, drivers of carts and other vehicles of burden, in respect of their manner of carrying their whips. The whip is borne by these individuals over the shoulder, with the thong dangling down their backs. To this arrangement, abstractedly considered, there is no objection ; but the thong not only dangles, but also whisks about at its own sweet will, flying constantly in the face of all propriety, and every now and then into that of some unhappy passenger. It is made to describe those mischievous gyrations by the slouching, careless gait of the bearer ; the irregularity of which, there is every reason to suppose, is in many cases aggravated by beer. It is bad enough when a natural lash gets into the eye; what must it be to receive that of a. whip there? expect Policemen!
