FIRE AT LIVERPOOL. (Abridged from Gore's General Advertiser.) On Wednesday morning a fire was discovered in the back part of the house occupied by Mr. Robert Clay, chemist and druggist, situated at the upper end of Bold-street, Liverpool, on the right-hand side. There were only three persons sleeping on the premises, namely, Mr. Keane, Mr. Smith, an assistant in the shop, and a servant maid. Mr. Clay resides at Everton, and knew nothing of the catastrophe for an how; or-two after it had taken place. The discovery of the fire seems to have been made by Mr. Keane, Mr. Smith, and servant almost at the same time; for Mr. Keane, hearing a noise, and finding his bed- room fill e d w ith smoke, rushed_ down stairs, and found M r . S m ith on th e s t a i rcase endea vouring to effect his escape. The lower part of the premises was so densely filled with smoke and flame, that Mr. Keane became dreadfully alarmed, and returned up stairs to the two-pair front room, where he was speedily joined by the servant maid. Just at this time some gentlemen, who lodged in a house nearly opposite, were taking some refreshment, after having returned from a ball, and hearing the alarm they. ran into the street, as did also a 3 , oung man in the em ploy of Mrs. Brown, a milliner, next door. While they were standing opposite Mr. Clay's premises, Mr. Keane and the servant were observed at the window, Mr. Keane endeavour-. ing to prevent her from jumping out. She succeeded, after'a struggle, in releasing herself, and the moment she was free she jumped into the street, a height of between 30 and 40 feet. One of the gentlemen opposite, a .Mr. Todd, seeing tke frightful descent, endeavoured to eatchher, andsticteeded in laying held of her arm, by which means he broke her fall, otherwise her brains would, in all probability, have been dashed out. Her arm was found to be severely burned, and she was otherwise so seriously injured, that at first her life was dowaired of. She was immediately removed to the house in which Mr. Todd lodges, where she lay for several hours in a delirious state, but at the expiration of that time she rallied considerably, and was taken to the infirmary, where she re mains at present. Mr. Keane, almost immediately, followed her rash example, by jumping out of the window upon the cluster of gentlemen who were standing round the girl at the time. He fell upon one of them—the young man from Mrs. Brown's establishment, whom he pressed to the ground, and who was considerably contused, though not to any very serious extent, by the fall and pressure. Mr. Keane himself was dreadfully injured, to such an extent indeed that his life at first was considered in great jeopardy. He was also removed to Mr. Todd's lodgings, where lie was placed in a separate bed, and where he continued for some hours in such an excited state that it was deemed advisable not to ask him any questions, or to allow any others but the medical men near him. As the day advanced he became calmer, and, to all appearance, out of danger. The greatest possible care was taken of the patients by the inmates of the house. With respect to the fire, we have only to say that the ravages were wholly confined to the manufacturing part of the premises, to the staircase, and also to the front and rear of the second or upper floor, and that neither the draw ing -room nor the shop, which, perhaps, was one of the hand somest druggist's shops in the town, has been burned. How the fire originated is involved in mystery. Damage to the house and property to the extent of 1,000/. or 1,2001. was ef fected ; but we are happy to learn that no pecuniary loss will fall upon Mr. Clay, as he was insured. There was a steam engine of five -horse power on the premises, upon which the flames took little or no effect. It was supposed for a long while that Smith was buried in the ruins; and when the smoke had in some degree cleared away, Mr. Dowling or dered some of the men to ascend the staircase, for the pur pose of ascertaining his fate. While they were engaged in this manner, tidings were brought that the young man had effected his escape at an early period of the conflagration, and that he had fled to the house of his uncle, in Preesen's row, in a state of alarm scarcely to be imagined. He was uninjured. ANOTHER ESCAPE FROM NOT- TINGHAM GAOL. • NOTTINGHAM, MARCH 20.—Considerable astonishment has been excited, and perhaps not without reason, by the circum stance of another coivict (Thomas Shelton, under a sentence of transportation for life) having escaped from the Notting ham county' gaol. It will be recollected that no longer sin ce than last New-year's eve six burglars broke prison, after making a murderous attack upon the turnkeys, one of whom was so dreadfully beaten as to render it for some time a matter of doubt whether he would survive or not. It would have been supposed that every possible precaution would be taken to prevent the recurrence of so senous a calamity as the let ting loose of such characters upon the community. This certainly may have been done, but it is equally certain that, at about half-past four o'clock, the prisoner Shelton, who is 60 years of age, contrived to elude the vigilance of his keepers, and to get clear away. He had been tried on the Saturday previous for stealing a wether sheep, the property of Mr. W. Bramley, of Arnold, near Nottingham, and convicted upon the cleasest evidence. Two former convictions were proved, for one of which he had been transported for seven years. He had been for two or three weeks before the assizes in the hospital ; and it appears that on Tuesday night the door was by some means left open. There was a turnkey sleeping with him in the same cell, but the prisoner managed to get out ofthe apartment without waking him, and to let himself over the wall with the assistance of a clothes'-line into the Unitarian Chapel-yard adjoining. The prisoner had on at the time of his escape the usual party-coloured dress worn by convicts. He had, however, stolen a small frock, the property of one of the debtors, for the purpose of concealmant. A pair of trou sers belonging to the pnsoner was found in the chapel-yard; and it is said that he went to his house at Arnold for a fresh pair of trousers. Information has been given to the police, who are making every exertion to effect his recapture. Two o'CLocK.—The prisoner has just been brought to town in custody, and once more lodged in gaol. He was ar rested by the county police in Sansom-wood, near Mansfield, which is about 14 miles from Nottingham. THE CONFECTIONERY TRADE. Yesterday a numerous meeting of the journeymen confec tioners who are engaged in the manufacture of hard confec tionary, was held in the large room of the Jacob's Well, Bar bican, for the purpose of memorialising the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, President of the Board of Trade, relative to the importation of confectionary from Halifax, Nova Scotia, at the nominal duty► of one penny per pound ; Mr. John Smith in the chair. From the statements of the various speakers, Messrs. Hol loway, Hodges, Taylor, Palmer, and others, it appeared that the amount of duty paid by the wholesale hard confectioners of the United Kingdom, for sugar used in the trade, is about 2,000,0001. annually ; and in this department alone, the enor mous quantity of from three to four thousand tons of sugar are used in the metropolis. As only refined sugar can be used in the trade, cost price to the manufacturer is 84s. per cwt. In 1842, a very extensive trade was carried on by some parties in the Channel Islands, and as a very consi derable drawback was allowed, and the sugar re-imported into England at a nominal duty, immense quantities were solely imported for the nses of distillers, capillaire-makers, and coffee-house-keepers, and it was bringing total ruin on the journeymen confectioners. This led them to memo rialise the Earl of Ripon, the then President of the Board of Trade, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer; and upon an interview, both the Noble President of the Board of 'Trade and the Chancellor of the 'Exchequer acceded to the wishes of the journeymen, and upon the tariff coming into a law, the exportation of confectionery was prohibited. The result was, the whole of the men got into full employ. The large profits, coupled with the impossibility of competing with the foreign trade, caused, at a subsequent period, some factories to be established at Heligoland, and from here the articles were imported, at a nominal duty of one penny per pound, as being the production of a British possession, but this system was exposed by the journeymen to the present President of the Board of 'bade, when that was stopped by an order in Council. Since then the manufacturer has directed his atten tion to Halifax, and as sugar superior in quality can there be purchased for 305., for which the home manufacturers are paying 845., and the goods in their manufactured state can be brought over at a freightage of from 2/. to 3/. per ton, it prevents the possibility of a competition—for the Halifax lozenge is offered at Ild. per lb., after all expenses are paid, which cannot be manufactured at home under 2s. or 2s. 2d. per lb. ; and as sugar is not the produce of Halifax, the trade consider that it is one of the prohibitory articles under the new tariff, and unless British industry is protected, the result to them will be disastrous in the extreme. A memorial setting forth the above facts, coupled with the ruin which would fall on the journeymen in general through out England and Scotland, was then agreed to,and the meet ing separated. - —, . . . . , . a . e a . . . • ____ ._ . . , / ‘ . ~... , I_.-- it-- -__-( ee.____ ‘-,•_ ~---- Ze- --, - - _i ' er 1- / -8 - --d %*//f-/-2% 7 , --- , c,o . t o . . ir . ... . ----'-': _. _ . ____________ ..... _____ _ --. __ • - __ _ _ ... . .. • .. sfr '.'S4 . -- A :,..-. - ~111 N, • / • ..k. il 1. , , 4t .

A NEAV PROPHET. PARIP, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 20. Yesterday, an affair - took place at the College de France, which brought the • course of lectures on Sclavonic literature to a sudden ter mination. It appears that, for some time since, a native of Poland, . of the name of Towianski, has s been making some sensation in Paris. He declares himself to be inspired by God to introduce a new interpretation to the coming of Jesus Christ into the world, and to the mysteries of Catho licism. M. Mickiewicz, the Professor of Slavonic Literature in the College of Prance, has warmly espoused the doctrines of the Prophet, and, in place or finishing his &tune of lec tures on literature, has taken the opportunity of pro mulgating the new doctrines to his scholars. The Minister of Public InstrUCtion having got notice of this affair, • sent the ProfeSsor notice that if he continued to address his hearers - upon• the subject of the new prophecies - his course of lectures would be stopped. M. Mic kiewicz, however, persisted, and on Tuesday, in addressing - his auditors, among whom he has a great number of prose • lytes, he asked them if it was possible to doubt the revela tions of M. Towianski. A great number of the pupils, and especially the women, immediately went down upon. their - knees, and, lifting up their hands, exclaimed that they were ready to swear to the truth of all the Towianski pro _phecies.. This scene was soon bruited forth, and the Minis ter of Public .Instruction immediately sent orders inter dicting M. Mickiewicz from lecturing, and it is said that he is dismissed ,from his situation as a professor in the college. But this is not the only 'atter that has occurred to trouble the repose of the -Minister of Public Instruction. In the College of &anis laus—an institution partly under the control and direction of the clergy—the students, being dissatisfied with the chaplain appointed to instruct them, and being worked up with some of the feeling which causes so tremendous a quarrel between the clergy and the University, revolted. They entered the room of the chaplain for.the ptkrpose of wreaking their vengeance upon him, but, fortunately for himself, he had time to escape by the window. Finding their victim had escaped, they broke his bed, mirrors, furniture, &c., and did not spare even a figure of Christ which they found upon the table; and having completed their work of destruction, they tossed the whole out of the window, " to search for their master." It is said that, in consequence of this escapade, sixty of the students have been expelled from the college. LOVER'S IRlau EvENINGS.—The first of a series of concerts, under this' attractive head, was given on Wed nesday night, - at the Princess's Concert Room,by Mr. Lover. It proved " a decided hit." The room was crowded by an elegant audience. Happy in his illustrations of Irish love and Irish song, and supported by the sweet and effective voices of Miss Cubitt and Miss Rollo Dickson, each portion of the entertainment drew down rapturous ap plause. The antiquity of Irish learning and music was very pleasingly narrated by Mr. Lover. He shelved that hitherto neglected land to have been the seat of learning and of music so long back as the seventh century. The " sham rock" and "harp," and the origin of their being the national emblem of Ireland, and armorially bearing in the arms of England, he also very happily described. In his recitations, his narratives, his tales of Irish love, Irish sympathy, and Irish drollery, Mr. Lover was impassioned and humorous. The " Irish Evenings" of Rory O'More bid fair to become popular. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCIL—OXFORD, MARCH 21.—1 n a congregation holden this morning, the following degrees were conferred :—Master of Arts : Rev. W. A. Stokes, Wadham College; Rev.

THE PHILOSOPHY OP HANGING.—At an inquest held before Mr. T. Wakley, M.P., a few days since, on the body ofa boy who had, it was supposed, unintentionally hung himself, a juror expressed his astonishment that as deceased's feet must have touched the ground he could not save himself. The coroner remarked that there was no accounting for tho frequent occurrence of such cases, and proceeded to detail the following remarkable instances which had come under his notice in his official capacity :—One was that of a man who was decidedly insane. He effected suicide by tearing a sheet into long strips, and having tied one of the strips to the side of the bed-post, he made a noose at the other end, which was so low that he had to lie down to put' his. head into it, and when discovered his nose was absolutely within very little more than an inch from the ground. Another in stance was that ofa man on whom he (Mr. Wakley) had held an inquest at Hampstead. This man first of all tried to drown himself in a pond, but, finding lie could not do so, he got out, and sat for some time by the side of the pond, contemplating some other mode of suicide. He at length tied his pocket-- handkerchief to the branches of two alder trees tightly, and then knelt down and laid his neck Across the handkerchief, and in that position he was found dead. A third case was that of a pauper in Isleworth workhouse, who sat down on the floor, and having tied a rope to a hook but two feet from the ground, he placed his neck in the noose, and by pressing forward succeeded in effecting his object. Another and most extraordinary case was that of a lady residing at Islington, who having exhibited a determination to destroy herself, was watched by attendants night and day. Not withstanding these precautions, this lady, whilst in bed, and in the presence of persons who were watching her, actually succeeded' in strangling herself with her capstrings, and she had been dead some hours when her attendants supposed her to be asleep. Medical science had as yet been unable to de velops accurately the causes which induced persons to take this means of committing suicide. The Chancellor of the Exchequer acknowledges the receipt of a 50/. note, No. 02,556, sent to him by a person un known, for conscience' sake. This money has been placed in her Majesty's Exchequer. SHOCKING SUICIDE IN FINSBURY ClRCUS.—.YeS terday morning, between the hours of six and seven, the re sidents of No. 47, Finsbury Circus, were thrown into the, most painful excitement in consequence of a young single female, of the name of Martha Sale, who resided with her friends at the above address, having committed self-destruc tion. It appears that for some time past the unfortunate crea— ture has been, from some unknown cause, in a very low and. desponding state, but it was never imagined that she would lay violent hands upon herself. However, upon one of the family going into her bedroom yesterday morning she was astonished at finding deceased suspended by the neck to the bedstead. An immediate alarm being raised other assistance came up stairs and cut down deceased. Mr. Townsend, sur geon, was instantly sent for, and that gentleman residing in the next house he was not long in reaching the place. The usual remedies to restore suspended animation were resorted to, but with no beneficial effect, the vital spark having for ever flown. - • -- --- HASTINGS ELECTION.—The reason for Mr Planta's resignation of his seat is continued ill health. The Tories have a monopolist candidate ready in the person of Mr. Mus grave Brisco, of Coghurat. SOMNAMBULISM.—It will be in 'the recollection of our readers that an account was given of a very serious acci dent which occurred on the evening of the 22d of December last, to a private of the Royal Sappers and Miners stationed at Brampton Barracks, near Chatham. The poor fellow, named Henry Stirratt, had retired to bed at the usual hour after tattoo roll-call, and in about an hour afterwards got up in his sleep, and, opening the room door, proceeded along the passage to a window ; and, having raised the sash, placed himself on the sill, and fell a distance of between 35 and 40 .feet to the pavement below, where he was shortly afterwards found drawn up like a ball a few feet from thd wall of the building, weltering in his blood. The sufferer was imme diately conveyed to the hospital, and promptly attended to by Dr. Chisholm, of the Ordnance Department, at Chatham, who did everything for him that talent and experience could suggest. On examination it was ascertained that the lower jaw was fractured in two places, and all the joints of his body had suffered from the fall. So frightful was the appearance of the unfortunate sufferer, and so extensive the injuries he sustained, that not the slightest hope was entertained of his recovery. To the surprise of all persons he wonderfully re covered, and was able to come with the company to .which he is attached from Chatham to Woolwich, and now per forms light duties, but he expects to go before the next board to be examined as to 'the cause of the accident pre viously to his being discharged. EXTRAORDINARY RUN WITH *HER MAJESTY'S STAG-not:NEG.—The meet on Wednesday, which was a bye day,. was at Hedgerley, where there was a muster of about 80, including Lord Sheffield, Mr. Warley, Mr. Staniforth, Mr. Goldney, Mr. Dyson, Mr. Baker, several of the officers of the Life Guards, &c. The deer, on being uncarted, ran direct through the Brocas-wood, and away over Lady Grenville's park at Dropmore to the Great Western Railway, and along by the side of th e li ne t o th e O r k ne y Anna, cr os s i ng th e I flames close to Maidenhead-bridge. The hounds were takep over the bridge, and again being laid on the scent went away right across the country to Marlow bridge, where it again crossed the Thames. The deer then ran through Sir G. Nugent's park, and away to Wycombe Marsh, where it was taken after one of the severest runs of the season,-which ex ceeded four hours. Very few were in at the take. The pace from the turn-out to Maidenhead-bridge was tremendous, but slackened after getting on the hills. PIMLICO PHILANTHROPIC SOClETY.—Yesterday the third annual meeting of the donors and subscribers to this Society was held at the rooms, 48, Grosvenor-place. J. Emmerson Tennant, Esq., M.P., took the chair. The Report, which was afterwards read, stated that within the last twelve weeks only 700 families had been relieved with 510 411". loaves, 11 tons 7 cwt. of coals, 3,576 pounds of potatoes, and besides a sum of money given 36 blankets had been lent to various poor families. CHURCH-RATES.—Yesterday, at the Greenwich Police-court, Mr. Jarman, one of the collectors of the church rates for the parish of Greenwich, applied to Mr. Traill, and obtained his signature to orders to pay church-rates, which had been refused to be paid by a great number of Dissenters and others. By this proceeding, it is evident, after the dif- - ferent discussions on the subject, that the churchwardens in. tend to enforce the rates by distress warrants, arid not to carry the matter into an ecclesiastical court. ~f WEIGHS ONLY FIFTEEN POUNDS I He will amuehisVi;itoWb;; relating his lihitOrY7 also giving imi tations of Napoleon Itonaparte, Grecian Statues, Songs, Dances, &c.

Ido not desire to ex tenuate the immorality of which he has been confessedly guilty; but a deeper, degree of culpability has been imputed to him, and, as it appears to me, on insufficient grounds. What has been established against Mr. Marsh, with respect to the unhappy woman, the subject of the late trial, in a short immoral connexion, more than four years ago, with a very brief renew a l o f it, not sought by him, but forced upon him, through the power :she had acquired from his dread of exposure ; and this last nearly three years ago. None subsequent was even alleged, and none certainly ever took place. Whether, under these circumstances, the proceeding to trial was judicious, or otherwise, can hardly be judged of satisfactorily but by those who are acquainted -with the prevalent impressions which it was thus sought to re move. Theyoman had established herself in his village and neighbourhood, frequented his church, and indus triously circulated abominable imputations against him, amongst others, that of his having administered to her drugs to procure abortion. He was unwilling to, take steps against her, which would give greater notoriety to circumstances:of which he had long heartily repented. But his remaining quiet, coupled with her confident assertions, and imposing manner and appearance, at length caused a belief that these charges must be true. It was in consequence represented to him, by very respectable persons in the vicinity, that he must institute some proceedings against her, as the only means of disabusing the public mind, and putting an end to the scandal of her presence. He had no alternative; or was advised that he had none. On this ground he was, in duced to abide the issue of a trial; but in no case Is it to be inferred that Mr. Marsh thought lightly of the dis grace he should bring upon his profession and himself. The contrary is strictly true. That Chief-Justice Tin dal, who tried this case, considered the prosecutiOn, how ever lamentable in its exposures. nether censurable, nor unnecessary, may fairly be inferred from his; having, upon the acquittal of the prisoner, allowed the Whole of the costs applied for on the part of the prosecutor. It further appeared on the trial, from the evidence of Mr. Marsh, that about the period of his acquaintance with the prisoner, he had occasionally visited tiale house where he unhappily made her acquaintance. This sad circumstance lam far from desiring to extenuate. But he solemnly denied, upon his oath, that even at that time it was his habit to frequent that or any other such place. No immorali ty _ whatever was proved, or eve n in s i nua t e d against Mr. Marsh of any later date. I cannot hello, therefore, expressing my feeling that the Bishop of Peterborough (if I may trust the report of his speech in the House of Lords) a little overstepped the obligation of his part, when he said that Mr. Marsh was " frequently absent from his residence, unhappily, in this metropolis and in Paris." (I quote om the Times newspaper.) The Bishop-ovraa.esaled upon to censure, and td Censure with severity., what has been proved against Mr. Marsh. But surely it was unkind and uncalled for to heap odium upon him, by the introduction of an extraneous topic, and of facts merely presumed. The Bishop cannot know where Mr. Marsh is when absent from his home. The fact, moreover, is not as the Bishop allowed himself to surmise. Mr. Marsh has not been in Paris during the last four years, and was never there but twice in his life--in 1837 and in 1839 ; nor has he, for the greater part of that time, been in London, unless on the occasions when compelled by the unhappy woman in question, to negotiate her payments. Since 1842 be has scarcely been there at all, until her coming into the neighbourhood of Barnack, in last September. When absent from home, it has chiefly been on visits to' fami lies of the highest respectability, with whom he is on terms of intimacy. The truth is, that these vicious indulgences were re gretted and resisted even at the very time referred to, and he soon determined to keep out of the way of temptation. To make his name more attractive to him, he induced his mother (a lady, of whom I may perhaps be forgiven for saying, that she is not more venera ble for her years and station, than fq her eminent virtues and high intellectual endow ments) to take up her abode with him in the cottntry ; which she did, at some sacrifice to herself. This was not a companion likely to be selected by an abandoned debauchee. Since that time he has been but little absent, and then never in Paris, and rarely, and but for:short intervals, in London. One who, without pretending to account for his every hour, is well acquainted with the general tenor of his life, vouches for these assertions. In his neighbourhood Mr. Marsh's conduct has been without reproach. Towards the poor under his charge he has been careful and liberal in ministering to 'their wants, and in supplying the means of education to theist children. Accordingly, he is very popular with his parishioners. Soon after this scandal arose, he placed himself in the hands of a clergyman, much his senior, an intimate and confidential friend of the Bishop, undeitaking to follow his suggestions, and to abide by any wish the Bishop might entertain; though he was aware, or at least firmly believed, that, by lapse of time, no formal penalty could be imposed by him. When the trial was over, he determined to write to the Bishop, in the persuasion that, as no steps could be taken against him, his sincerity was not . Bible to be called in question. His intention was to express his deep sorrow at the disgrace he had brought on his profession and himself, his remorse at the sinfulness of the conduct which had entailed it, and his , wish to abstain for a lengthened time from the exercise of his functions, and to withdraw from his residence. The unexpected nptice taken of the affair made him withhold the letter ; but it was seen by friends, and the intention to send it known. One circumstance, which has brought censure upon Mr. Marsh, is yet unnoticed. When asked, on the trial, if he had received any communication from the Bishop, he replied,—" Only,mediately." A comparison of this expression with the Bishop's letter ,, to the Times news paper, has caused Mr. Marsh to be taxed with prevari cation. The truth is, he 'night with,perfect sincerity have an swered " none whatever.", But as the• friend alluded to had advised him to continue what he had already begun of his own accord, namely, to abstain from any pro fessional duties, he, tbianght it probable th a t h e was i n possession of the Bisbop's,wishes, though he had not an nounced them ; and, therefore, with proper caution, he replied as he did ; but surely Ma spirit the very opposite to that imputed to him. The Bishop has, no doubt, expressed his feelings, in confidence, to the gentleman in question, and has felt persuaded that advice would be given and acted upon in accordance with them. This was enough for him. But it is hard thathe should so have expressed hiniself, as to cast an unnecessary slur upon Mr. Marsh. So far from his having the direct knowledge of an in terdict from the Bishop, it happened that, when this same friend urged his return to Barnack to silence the suspicions before alluded to, he stated also, that as it was understoodthe Bishop had not interfered, Mr. Marsh's abstaining from his sacred functions when 'on the spot, would be regarded , as an act of self - condemnation and self-abasement, and be becoming and useful. There is much, very much,lo lament and to condemn in the conduct of which Mr. Marsh had been confessedly guilty; but is there anything in it for which a man is to be hunted out of society? Is it a case to call for new laws, or for stretching the existing ones, to visit it? Are the Bishops now accustomed to deal with cases of equal or greater enormity, when recent, and properly put before them, with extreme severity? If n o t, i s i t right to yield to a clamour, partly, at least, grounded on erro neous impressions? Here has been no aggravating circumstance of seduc tion or adultery. Ido not, for one, regard Church pre ferment as a freehold. There is a cure of souls attached to it, which justly imposes a strictness of moral con duct: at the same time it should be borne in mind that a clergyman, deprived of his preferment, is debarred by his orders from every other source of livelihood. This is a motive, certainly, for increased circumsp ec ti on i n him, but also for some unwillingness to proceed to extremity, except where the offence is heinous, or the character of the party is irreclaimable. I submit that neither condition is established against Mr. Marsh. lam his brother. I venture to hope that, from one in my position, this statement will not be considered unbe coming or uncalled for. It is long, but I have found it difficult to curtail it, without taking from it its proper efficacy. Space lies not been grudged in other quarters for censure ; i trust 'to your generosity and sense of .1113- THE LATE KING OF SWEDEN. Bernadotte was one who never forgot the place of his nativity, nor suffered an opportunity to escape of rendering service to his countrymen. After the disastrous Russian campaign, when Bernadotte, then the I'rince Royal of Sweden, commanded the Swedish contingent, a French officer of Engineers —now a Deputy for the departments of the Basses Pyrenees—was made prisoner, and conveyed into Russia with the sole prospect before him of inevitable death o a fm discoverti . t h p e ice Prince that nce h escort o d w Royal a s snows o omf s . a ss o w f pe a t) e i sn e i gnaonnrdte near . claiming at l ihm l e e hn l ge i a a p dt p .og e u n ba e er td hiss countryman, he assumed a name which he felt assured was known to the Prince, before whom he was immediately . summoned. "I entreat the pardon of your Royal High ness," said the officer, " for borrowing a name that does not belong to me : mine is probably unknown to you, and I feared I should not obtain the honour of being presented to you." "You were wrong to do so," replied the Prince, with severity, " are you not a Bearnais ? That title would have been sufficient. You have not done well." Then suffering a benevolent smile to escape him, he addressed the prisoner in the Beaniais dialect—" You are in want. How much money do you require ? I will take care of you. Have you any news from our country? What is doing there ?" Having received satisfactory answers to all his questions, the Prince immediately ordered the young officer to be set at liberty. He admitted him to his table, and after loading him with kindnesses, he caused him to be sent back to Pans in one of his own carriages, to tell his countrymen that Bernadotte, though no longer a French subject, was, in his affection for her sons, a Frenchman still. The King of Sweden continued to the last to give proofs of his affection for Pau, his native city. A few years since, he received a Bearnais deputation in Stockholm, and the result was, the bestowal of numerous charities in Pau, be sides public endowments and private pensions. One of the latest acts of his munificence was a subscription of 500 f. towards the monument of Despourrins, the celebrated Bear nais poet. One instance of his generosity is rather amusing. At Gan, a small town not far from Pau, lives an old woman, eighty years of age, whom Bernadotte had known when young, as the prettiest girl of the diitrict. He was told that she was still alive, and he immediately settled on her a pen sion for life. When the old woman heard the news she ex claimed,—" Lou praiibm ne m'a dounc pas oubligade ; si ere aquiou, queii heri diis poutons coum ailtescops." (" The pretty fellow has not forgotten me then ; if he were here I would give him two kisses, as I used to do formerly.")—Post. Yesterday afternoon, a fine female infant, about three weeks old, was discovered lying on the steps of No. 1, St. Agnes-terrace, Bayswater-road. It had been left, no doubt, on the step by a female poorly clad, who had been seen near the house. The child was taken to Hammersmith' union. ESTABLISHED 1821.

THE HAGUE, MARCH 15.—1 t is reported here, that on one of the last days of the debate on the voluntary loan and property tax, or, at least, about that time, a commission from Amsterdam was here, with the inten tion of having an audience , of the King ; but that his Majesty thought it advisable not to grant this desire, and that this is one of the reasons that his Majesty, now that the law is passed and promulgated, is gone to Am sterdam. It must also be taken as no more than a fly ing report, that a subscription of forty millions to the loan may be depended on from Amsterdam, and twenty millions from Rotterdam. But supposing that this is true, no persons should draw the false inference that the loan will be filled up without his taking part in it ; the above sums, which must be taken by great houses, being barely one-half of the whole amount. AMSTERDAM, MARCH 18.—We learn that this morn ing being the first day for subscribing to the Voluntary Three per Cent. Loan, his Excellency the Minister, in consequence of instructions given, has subscribed for the King and the several members of the Royal Family. We learn that the King will return early te-morrow morning by a special train to the Ha gue . ' !'his morning his Majesty gave audience to several persons and depu tations. The evening before yesterday his Majesty visited the National Theatre, where he was' welcomed by acclamations of the audience, which were repeated when he left. A cold, which is happily but slight, prevented his Majesty from going to the new church yesterday. His visit to Utrecht is deferred on the same account. The same cause will prevent the King from again visit ing the theatre this evening as he intended. THE Hactra, MARCH 19.—His Majesiv the King ar rived here from Amsterdam this morning.

For greater security in the navigation of the Ems, by consent of his Majesty's Minister for the Affairs of the Interior, the buoying of the Eastern Ems will be further increased by two white buoys, placed upon the Kachelott Plate and the Koper Sand, respecting the situation of which the-following is the notice 1. The white buoy on the Kachelott Plate.—Masters of inwward-bound vessels will find it in a S.S.E. direction from the black buoy with a basket in Homme Channel (Homme Gat). It lies upon the steep point of the Kachelott Plate, in six fathoms' water at low ebb. The lighthouse is on Borkum, a little within the north point of the Ostland sand hills, keeping Ostland Cape, however, to the S.W. However, in order, during foggy weather, to prevent masters of vessels from incurring the risk of mistaking the white buoy on the Kachelott Plate for the white inner buoy situate opposite it on the Inister Reef, in lieu of the common shaped white buoy hitherto lying there, a black and white striped buoy, pointed at both ends, in shape similar to a ship's anchor buoy, will be substituted. 2. The white buoy on the Koper Sand, lies npon a steep tongue, jutting out from the Koper Sand, in six fathoms' water, at low ebb, the small cape upon the west hand of Borkum Island, a short boat-hook's length to the northward of the . lighthouse there, whereby the Black King's buoy si tuate opposite, lies to the north-west by west half-west, but the Red Cape buoy to the S.S.W. of the White buoy on the Koper Sand. The officer charged with the duty of laying down these buoys, has this day set sail, and, weather permitting, will, withoutlail, have effected the change within the next few days. The above is hereby made known in the name of the Royal General Direction of Waterworks. (Signed) G. H. HETTLER. ' Royal Direction of Waterworks, Xmdem, March 5,1844. IRELAND. NATIONAL EDUCATION. Duimur, MAncii 20.—The Dublin Eveningf•Mail, of this afternoon, says—" We have an appalling communication to make to our readers and to the country—one restinix upon such authority, that its truth admits of neither question nor doubt." This." appalling" statement is thus given, in the form of a letter " from. a private correspondent :" " LONDON', MoNnAr.—You may rest assured that the Pre mier himself has addressed a letter to the Irish Executive upon the subject of national education, in which he distinctly declares that no future patronage is to be bestowed on clergy men of the Established Church in Ireland, who not only are not inimical to the system of national education, but who will not undertake to place all schools, in the parishes or dioceses in which they may be promoted, under the imme diate management of Dr. Murray's Board." "This (observes the Evening Mail) may be considered in the nature of a bribe or a threat, affecting the Protestant clergy,and with aview ofcarrying out both the more effectually, our correspondent adds that Sir Robert Peel intimates an in tention of appointing English clergymen (Puseyitus, we sup pose) to benefices or bishoprics, as either may become vacant, should the clergy in Ireland continue contumacious." The Evening Mail, in its capacity of organ of the Orange Church party, is in a perfect paroxysm of rage at this intel ligence, and threatens to turn out Sir R.. Peel, by a com bination of the Irish Tory Members in the House of Com mons, aided by a formidable agitation amonst the Tory clergy of the Establishment' in Ireland! The defeat of Ministers on Lord Ashley's amendment, on Monday night, is relied upon as affording ground for hope that the Peel Ministry can easily be dislodged. IMPRISONMENT OF MR. O'CONNELL—" NATIONAL HUMILIATION AND PRAYER." The deepest anxiety has been expressed in various and dis tant quarters of the country, that some very marked and de cided mode of exhibiting the sympathy of the Irish people should be adopted, in the event of the incarceration of Mr. O'Connell. No decision has been made as to the course to be adopted, but it has been proposedt,that Whit-Monday, the 27th of May, should be fixed upon as a day of geaeral prayer and humiliation; that the people should on that day assemble in their places of worship, to implore the protection of Heaven for this country, and the removal of the evils that afflict her. It has been also suggested that the Liberals and Roman Ca tholics throughout Christendom should be invited to partici pate in this object.. It is said the adoption of this project only requires the sanction of particular authorities, without whose approral no step would be taken. "IN THE MIDST OF LIFE WE ARE IN DEATH."— An awful instance of the uncertainty of human life occurred in this city on Wednesday afternoon last. Mr. Newton, a respectable tallow-chandler, residing in Broad-street, was sitting in his shop in company with one of his daughters, when. suddenly hearing an unusual noise, the child looked up, and observed her father labouring for breath. She spoke to him, but he appeared insensible, and she then alarmed the family : Mrs. Newton was from home at the time, but an elder sister observing Mr. Turley, surgeon, coming up Broad street, in his gig. called him in. Mr. Turley found the de ceased ling upon the floor, where he had fallen from the chair. He immediately opened a vein in his left arm, and about an ounce of blood followed the incision. The pulse, however, gradually lessened, and soon ceased altogether. He never spoke after he , was attacked with this sudden seizure. Mr. Turley, on his examination on the inquest, on Friday, said he had long considered the doceased as subject to apoplexy, and he had observed that latterly his face had assumed a darker hue. He had no doubt whatever that the cause of death was the rupture of a vessel in the brain. There was a bruise on the left eye, but this was occasioned by the deceased's fall from his chair. Mr. Hyde held an inquest on. Friday morning before a respectable jury, who, after hear ing the evidence of Mr. Turley, returned a verdict that the deceased died by the visitation of God, from the rupture of a vessel on the brain. Mr. Newton hiss left behind him a large family to deplore his loss.— Worcester Chronicle. ACCIDENT ON THE DOVER RAILWAT.—A dread ful accident occurred yesterday on the above line, at Folke stone Harbour. Some empty waggons were proceeding down the inclined plane it Folkestone to the harbour, for coals, when the men who were riding upon them, fearing they could not slacken the speed, instead of putting on the break, jumped off and-allowed the waggons to proceed full speed down the incline to the harbour. Such was the vio lence of the concifssion that two of the waggons were driven into the sea. One poor fellow, a platelayer, was nearly cut to pieces, the waggons having passed over him. He was still alive when this report was made. The man, Stewart, who was seriously injured, on the above line last week, is fast re- Wain.
